Chapter 327: Bad News

A few days later, an urgent report came from the north that the city of Huizhou was broken!

This is undoubtedly bad news.

But for Yun Fenghuang, who was psychologically prepared, the worst news was not just that the Jiang family and others were kidnapped by Wei He, but that there were members of the Xie clan among the traitors who opened the city gate for Wei He! ! !

Even though this member of the Xie clan is already a distant branch with a distant bloodline, and even Yun Fenghuang had never seen him when he was Miss Seventeen at home... But after all, he is a member of the Xie clan with a record in the genealogy, and he cannot write two words of "Xie" in one stroke. Thank you!

Yun Fenghuang was very decisive, and "fainted" on the spot when he heard the news, and then couldn't get up on the couch.

Therefore, the discussions and doubts from inside and outside did not arise at all, and they were suppressed by the angry emperor. Even the empress, neither dared nor embarrassed to make trouble at this time, and specially asked the third prince to come over to visit on behalf of herself. Reassure Yun Fenghuang not to think too much: "Which family has few unfilial sons when you have a big business? Think about that nephew of my palace, that is my own nephew. What's wrong? I went out for a while, and I don't know what I heard from some messy people, who said that if you learn badly, you will learn badly. My father, who is in trouble, has to travel thousands of miles at such an old age... His Majesty simply knows the details, but it is not those who are not good. Ask the master who is implicated indiscriminately. This matter has nothing to do with the master branch of the Xie family. If someone gossips, if you know it, even if you know it, you will be killed, just say what I said!"

Yun Fenghuang cried and thanked the Queen for her kindness, and sent away the third prince and other visitors in a good voice, and then asked the previous court: "What does your majesty say? Can your majesty come to the harem in these two days?"

The Qing people whispered: "Your Majesty is so busy at the moment that even the time for going to bed has been reduced. Yesterday, a courtier talked about Xie's traitor and euphemistically mentioned Niang Niang, which made His Majesty furious. Anger...Your Majesty probably didn't come to see the empress because he lacked the ability to separate himself, so he must be thinking about it in his heart."

"It's a good frontier, why is your majesty just attacking because of this palace?" Yun Fenghuang sighed, "He is actually because of these things... but it's not that this palace is slandering important ministers, Marquis Jingning and Uncle Zhaowu, Could it be that they are trash? Both famous generals are in the frontier fortress, yet such a thing happened! Or is it because the Ji family is so powerful that even the two of them are trapped and helpless?"

The Qing people didn't know how to answer.

"...Is there any news about the captive?" Yun Fenghuang asked in a low voice after being silent for a while.

"Not yet." The Qing opened his mouth, and said with some difficulty, "But the empress speculated earlier that since there were remnants of the Ji family in it, presumably other members of the family should pay it back. The masters who are closely related to the empress, they Never dare to be rude.”

Yun Fenghuang closed his eyes, opened them after a while, and said in a harsh voice: "It's fine for the others, female family members... especially the female family members of the age of Huaxin, do you think, even if they are not being rude, after such an encounter, What good life is there? Even, there is still a way to survive? Back then, the Sixth Sister’s matter was a hot topic, but each family didn’t know the ins and outs? They didn’t know the girls of my Xie family. Like the Sixth Sister? But they still contributed to the flames, the divorced ones divorced, the divorced ones broke up the relationship, the closed doors refused to accept... One by one, they rushed to make trouble... At that time, except for Sixth Sister who was caught At home, if you are a big lady with rich clothes and fine food, it’s not like a group of people were sent to the family temple and married in a hurry, such as this palace, they came to the imperial capital to avoid the limelight!”

"This time, what do you think of those younger sisters and nieces who are in their best years in this palace, and even younger sisters and nieces who just married into the family?"

That's the book that came out of Wei He's hand... I also know that saliva can drown people.

If it was Yun Fenghuang herself, she would definitely refuse to accept her fate because of her unruly temperament, and she also has a means of refusing to accept her fate.

But most women are not like her...

"Actually, the third prince is not to blame for this matter. He is still a child, and he is not capable of doing these things, but I just saw him come to condolences on behalf of the queen, and I almost couldn't hold back my killing intent." The noble concubine seemed to be talking to herself. He said softly, "After all, those of my Xie family, who are not innocent? Over the years, because of their high status and power, this palace has rarely gritted its teeth and hated anyone deeply...Ji Minggan, Wei He , but it was done.”

The Qing people turned their faces away, not daring to let the imperial concubine see the moisture in his eyes.

She is the son of the Xie family, and she was ordered to enter the palace to serve the noble concubine, thinking that the wind and the wind, the wings and the confidant.

Although Jiang's birth is the powerful arm of Jiang's family and is highly trusted, Jiang's is a fine person. The fact that Xie Fenghuan, the concubine, was betrayed by the dowry maid was a thorn in the hearts of Jiang's mother and daughter. Accompanying Yun Fenghuang's confidantes, how can he not leave behind means to restrict?

The blood relatives of the Qing people are all in Jiang's hands.

In order to better monitor and win over people's hearts, Jiang's relatives were all brought into close servants to serve her every day.

This time the Jiang family was kidnapped, how could the servants survive?

What's even more sad is that the Jiang family is of great value as Yun Fenghuang's biological mother, whether Wei He or the remnants of the Ji family, they will not hurt her unless it is absolutely necessary. But for her waiters, those people might not have the patience and etiquette.

She couldn't even think about the current situation of her family...

The master and servant were relatively silent for a moment, Yun Fenghuang said in a shy voice: "Go and persuade Hong E and the others, I should have said it in person, but... at this moment, I really have no face to see them, not even face to face them." See you. If it weren't for you coming into the palace to serve me, your family members might not have been brought by your mother's side all the time, so maybe this disaster would not have happened this time."

"What did you say? Do you want to blame the empress and your wife for this matter? If you want to blame it, it's the remnants of the Ji family, Wei He, or the Marquis Zhaowu of Jingning and they are not up to date!" The Qing people laughed bitterly, and whispered Said, "The empress and madam have never been sorry to the servants."

If he didn't have the slightest resentment towards Jiang's mother and daughter in his heart, it wouldn't be so.

After all, those are their living relatives.

However, since people from the Qing Dynasty can be selected by the Jiang family and sent to the palace to assist their daughters as concubines, of course they are all sensible people who know the general situation.

Jiang's mother and daughter have nothing to say to them and their families except to keep them safe from betrayal.

If you feel resentful because of this accident...

It is useless, how can it be seen in the clouds and winds?

"If mother can do it, she will try her best to protect the people around her." Yun Fenghuang also knows how they feel, and doesn't force them to have no resentment towards him, only gratitude, as long as he knows what a slave should do in his heart. , so he comforted, "Besides, His Majesty has ordered people to go to the rescue. Even if Wei He's soldiers and horses come and go like the wind, how can he get away with all these people? Maybe he will leave them behind at that time."

The Qing people forced a smile when they heard the words, and said, "Your Majesty is right."

It would be best if that was the case, but Qing people are older than Yun Fenghuang, but they have heard that when Wei He plundered people and was chased by the imperial army...it was true that he left the people, livestock and wealth that he couldn't take away... …

However, before being thrown down, people are always disabled, and even thrown out after their throats are cut...

The two clans have conquered each other for many years, and at the height of the temple, there may be compromises and alliances after judging the situation.

But among the people, especially those bordering the people, the hatred has long been as deep as the sea.

Killing each other requires no reason at all.

"But it's just like what your mother said, there is no danger!" Whether it's from the Qing people or Hong'e and others, the hearts of the masters and servants in the entire Huanhua Hall are heavy.

Even the scripture-copying room that Yun Fenghuang had temporarily set up to pray for the blessings of King Qin and King Jin when the flowers came out had been brought back into use.

However, it didn't take long for the news to spread that the heavens did not protect the soldiers and civilians who were taken captive in Huizhou this time.

Including Yun Fenghuang's relatives.

Uncle Zhaowu personally led a large army to pursue him and forced Wei He to abandon a large number of his luggage and captives. He did save some people, including the Xie family, but...

"Your Majesty, the minister's father and mother are gone! No more!!! No more!!!!" The son-in-law Xie Wuzheng knelt down at the Highness, weeping loudly!

It had been less than half an hour since he entered the door, and he kept saying this sentence over and over again, just crying.

Yun Fenghuang leaned forward slightly, the back of his hand pressed on the small table in front of him was bruised and his face was ashen!

It wasn't just the members of the Xie family who were gone. Just now, Princess Sui'an was concerned about her son-in-law and chased after her in the palace herself. She didn't dare to come in because she was afraid of disturbing her siblings, but let the palace people quietly pass a message to her. Yun Fenghuang: "Your Majesty, Your Highness said that there is news from the north that Xie's eldest, second, third, fifth, sixth... corpses have all been buried by Uncle Zhaowu. As for the fourth, gentlemen, young ladies, Ms. Sun and Mr. Sun are also... only Mrs. and Mrs. are missing in the chaos, maybe they can be saved..."

It's just that the eldest princess understands the heavy loss of the imperial concubine's natal family, so she dare not elaborate.

In fact, the news brought by Chen Jing, who looked solemn a while later, was more detailed and tragic: the old man in Huizhou still had memories of the fall of Emperor Xiaozong, so after learning that the city gate was sold and unable to return to heaven, the big family in the city , Forced the young girl to commit suicide immediately!

Yunfenghuang's younger sisters and nieces, as well as the newly married younger sisters-in-law and nieces-in-law, were all forced to pay the price by hanging their beams, and the elderly female family members watched as they swallowed their last breath! Afterwards, the elderly women also committed suicide together!

As for the younger female relatives, and the boys whom the elders thought they could not take away, they would be killed by their fathers and brothers themselves, those who were more cruel and slashed with swords, and those who were more soft-hearted, they would be pushed into the well... until now Although Huizhou was recovered, there was no well water in the city, and it was almost full of corpses.

And adult men, after killing their family members, only partly escaped from birth, most of them died in battle in the city!

"Your Majesty, I have already asked the people who came here. I, Xie, are the only ones in the city, and none of the middle-aged escaped!" The brothers and sisters sat and knelt, sitting like ice sculptures. After a long time, Xie Wuzheng finally came to his senses, weeping, choked up and said, "Is this my Xie family vulnerable?! Someone must be deliberately targeting it!!!"

Yun Fenghuang's hands and feet were cold, and his heart was also cold. For a moment, he was at a loss, and after a while, he said in a daze: "Do you need to say that? Isn't it just..."

"It's not the remnants of the Ji family!" Xie Wuzheng said with certainty, "The fourth uncle and four aunts haven't been found yet. If it was Ji Minggan, he only wanted to take hostages. Why do you want to eradicate everyone in the Xie family?! Madam forgot Uncle Zhaowu? He commanded this rescue! As a result, the ordinary people in the city and other big clans all had good news, but I, the Xie family, either couldn’t find it, and all I found were only corpses. He said it was Wei Hegan. Yes, but... really Wei He did it?! Madam, do you still remember the fourth brother of Sanfang? The fourth brother is famous for riding and shooting in the whole Northland. He was stopped by the third uncle and let him escape alone, and came to the imperial capital to help us, saying that the fourth brother is still in his prime, and heirs... there will be more heirs in the future!"

He couldn't help crying when he said this, "Fourth brother was found with arrow feathers in front of him and behind him! You said that he was not very close to the empress and ministers, so he was worthy of such a murderous hand by Wei He?!"

"There are also several other uncles and elder brothers. Those uncles went to the battlefield when Xiaozong was in power. Logically speaking, they are the most likely to escape unscathed. As a result, not only did they fail to escape, but the children they brought with them also died tragically on the spot. ..."

"Your Majesty, one or two may be my Xie family's bad luck. There are so many, can't it explain the problem?"

"Even though Wei He is cruel and inhuman, but my Xie clan died this time, there must be a traitor!!!"

Moreover, what he doubted the most was Uncle Zhao Wu! ! !
