Chapter 10 Confiscating the house
"What the hell is going on?"
"Wow... Mom, I'm scared..."
"Why were our homes raided all of a sudden?"
"Master, what shall we do now?"
"Woooo..."
Including the servants, all the people in the Wei family were driven out. The surroundings were densely packed with royal guards. The people who used to be glamorous and elegant were now in a mess. They were not stupid and had already guessed that their property was going to be confiscated. The men all looked pale and most of the women covered their faces with tears and sobbed from time to time.
Most of the people from the second and third houses gathered around the old lady. Shen Xiangwan did not bring Zhao Yuping and the others to join them. Instead, he found a corner and stayed there quietly.
"General, everyone in the palace is here."
The few soldiers responsible for driving Shen Xiangwan and his group away trotted forward, communicated with others, and made sure that everyone was present before reporting to their superiors.
"Ah."
Tian Yi, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards who was in charge of the confiscation, nodded majestically, his face suddenly darkening: "Be quiet!"
"···"
The sound mixed with internal force suddenly exploded, and the scene suddenly fell silent. Everyone's attention unconsciously focused on Dao Tianyi, who took the imperial edict presented by the soldier with both hands: "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Wei Yang Wangfu is plotting rebellion, the evidence is irrefutable, the criminals should be executed, however, considering that the old prince and the prince were loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and both died on the battlefield, the death penalty will be spared for everyone in the palace, and their titles will be stripped immediately, demoted to commoners, all property will be confiscated, the entire Wei family will be exiled to Chenzhou, and their descendants will not be allowed to participate in politics or join the army. This is the imperial decree!"
"No···"
"General Tian, the Wei family has been loyal to the royal family for generations. How could they possibly rebel?"
"There must be some misunderstanding here. We want to see the emperor..."
"Woooo..."
As soon as the words fell, everyone felt as if the sky had fallen. Led by the old lady, all the men from the second and third rooms stepped out to try to turn the tide. The women broke down and cried loudly. Even though they had guessed that their family would be confiscated, they still couldn't accept it, not to mention that they would be exiled to a remote place like Chenzhou. "Shut up!"
Seeing that they were getting more and more violent, Tian Yi suddenly shouted, and the scene became quiet again. After sweeping a fierce look at them one by one, Tian Yi said in a deep voice: "The imperial decree is here, how can you quibble at will? If anyone continues to make trouble, don't blame me for being merciless."
"···"
The other party's attitude was already very clear. No matter how unwilling they were, the men from the second and third rooms, led by the old lady, did not dare to make trouble anymore. In contrast, the women in the palace undoubtedly cried even more miserably, as if their parents had died.
"Search for me. All valuables must be collected."
Seeing this, Tian Yi sneered and ignored them, waving his hand and asking the soldiers to start confiscating the property in the palace.
"Yes."
The soldiers moved upon hearing the noise and rushed into the palace again. Tian Yi nodded with satisfaction: "The people of the Wei family stand on the left, and all the servants stand on the right."
"···"
Having realized that it was impossible for them to turn the tables, the people in the palace no longer dared to disobey and began to take action.
"It's you! It's you who harmed us!"
Suddenly, a woman who looked to be in her thirties pointed angrily at Shen Xiangwan who was standing in the corner and said, "You are a scoundrel who harms people. When you first married into the palace, you caused Cheng Yi to vomit blood and faint. Now you have caused us to be confiscated and exiled."
The woman was so angry that her teeth were itching. She glared at her as if she wanted to eat her alive, blaming her for everything.
