Chapter 626: 626-Overwhelming Power

Emperor Yong Ping compromised. Xie Xi and the other aristocratic families insisted on the Jiankang Decree. With them standing in front, if the officials were unhappy, they could go to them.

I can’t make the decision either. Who asked the Cai family to be in the wrong?

What happened next was within everyone’s expectations. The Imperial Censorate had submitted dozens of memorials, requesting the dismissal of the eldest son of the Cai family and Cai Qilang. The charges were that their father had not cultivated virtue and had committed the crime of murder. As Cai Qi’s son, what face did he have to act in the imperial court?

Although he was not guilty, his career would definitely be ruined.

Before the Emperor had even issued an imperial edict, Assistant Minister Cai and Cai Qilang had already submitted their resignation memorials, including some of the Cai family’s side branches who were minor officials in Jiankang City. They all expressed their stance and submitted their resignation memorials. At least he had an attitude and posture.

Emperor Yong Ping agreed.

This caused many of the Cai clansmen who had been holding back to suddenly fall silent. Those who had not had the time to submit their memorials also took the opportunity to hide and did not submit them.

However, within half a year, they were also demoted and exiled, causing Xie Xian to chase and beat up a drowning dog. This was not to be mentioned for the time being.

Just Xie Xian’s outburst against the Cai Clan had already caused many aristocratic families to be dissatisfied. However, the Xi Clan and the Xie Clan were on the same side, so they threw out a powerful soul interrogation.

If he didn’t punish them severely as a warning to others, what would happen if the other aristocratic families followed suit and played these dirty tricks?

Who could guarantee that their own children were all noble and kind-hearted people?

It wasn’t that there hadn’t been cases of copycat crimes. Back then, Zhou Weiniang had used the thunder vine to poison Xiao Baoxin. Later on, it had been borrowed more than once by people, from aristocratic families to ordinary people. There were countless imitators. However, Thunderlord Teng was a Chinese medicinal herb that could be used as medicine. It could also kill insects and reduce inflammation. It was commonly used by the people and could not be banned.

The moment the Xi family spoke, all the noise quieted down by half.

As for the other half, Time Rijiu, they weren’t as crazy as before. At most, they would use the Cai family as an example to talk about how arrogant and domineering Xie Xian was.

Did he learn this from the eldest daughter of the Xiao family?

In the past, he was also evil and always went against the aristocratic families. However, things were different now. He even killed his own aunt and uncle. He was ruthless and not someone ordinary people could do.

It had to be said that Xie Xian’s baring of his fangs was very effective, causing the aristocratic families to feel fear in their hearts. At least on the surface, they rarely openly confronted the Xie family like before.

“I couldn’t tell that Xie Xuanhui was really ruthless.”Chief Justice Xi complained to his father in private,” My heart is trembling just looking at it.”It wasn’t that he didn’t know that Xie Xian was resourceful and shrewd, but he truly didn’t expect him to be so ruthless.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he owed Xie Xian a favor, he would really have to carefully consider whether he should kick the Cai Clan while they were down.

Xi Abba chuckled, his eyes filled with wrinkles. Ever since he had been idle at home, he had been raising cats and playing with dogs every day. He had been living a comfortable life and had gained a lot of weight.

“If you’re already scared, let alone others.”

“It’s his aunt’s after all-”

Father Xi raised his eyelids and glanced at Tingwei Xi,””His aunt wants to attack his mother.”

Tingwei Xi was speechless.

That’s right, it was Cai Qi who did not have that diamond diamond and insisted on taking on the porcelain work. He was the first to provoke the Xie family. Regardless of whether it was Cai Qi going up against Xie Xian or Aunt Yuan accidentally giving birth to Xiao Baoxin, it was the Cai Family who made the first move. But now, the public opinion was leaning towards Xie Xian to kill them all.

He didn’t even know if it was the result of deliberately guiding behind the scenes, or if many people were like him, falling into the fear of being dominated by Xie Xian.

In the past, even after Xie Xian had succeeded in becoming a dragon, although Xie Xian was in a high position, he had always been steady and steady, striving not to give others a chance to talk about him. However, after the Cai Clan incident, he had unhesitatingly revealed his sharp claws and used an iron fist to intimidate them.

It could be said that he was killing everyone.

Now that Xie Xian and the Xie Clan were mentioned, it could already be described with the words ‘power overlord’.

At the very least, when he gave the order, the Emperor tacitly agreed, and there was no lack of response from all around.

Even if the various great clans had people jump out to criticize Xie Xian, it wouldn’t do much. At this moment, no one could shake Xie Xian’s position.

I heard some rumors.” Chief Justice Xi looked around and lowered his voice. “Cai Qi and his wife were blaming each other in prison, scolding each other for using a stupid trick. Say…

I shouldn’t have killed Wet Nurse Chen.”

This matter was extremely terrifying.

Old Master Xi was stunned.” Xie Xian…”

He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t say it.

“Go through the house. If there are too many dealings with the outside world, kick them out. Don’t wait in the main residence.”The first thing that came to his mind was his home.

“Yes,” replied Tingwei Xi in a deep voice.

“In the future, you don’t have to be too close to the Xie family, nor do you have to be estranged.”” Xi family will be in your hands from now on. You’re the head of the family, so you’ll be the one to decide the future of the Xi family.””

“But I have one last suggestion for you. Don’t offend Xie Xian.”

“Was that Wet Nurse Chen really killed by Cai Qi?”Xiao Baoxin was halfway through reading the map when he stuck his little head out to Xie Xian’s side.

It was drizzling outside the window for the whole day, and it only became a little lighter in the middle of the night.

Was he finally unable to hold it in?

Xie Xian put down the memorials in his hand. The Emperor had not expected that many memorials would require the few of them to first sift through and give practical suggestions before they would finally reach the Emperor’s hands and be approved by the Emperor. Basically, it was a yes or no reply.

“Why are you suddenly asking?” He smiled, his smiling eyes curved into crescents. Under the light of the night pearl, he looked extremely gentle.

Xiao Baoxin’s heart skipped a beat.

“Why did you kill Wet Nurse Chen? I don’t understand.”She said,”This is no longer called ‘three hundred taels of silver’. It’s a bit like a dog that jumps over a wall in desperation, or a desperate person who goes to seek medical help?”” “It’s good that you don’t understand,” Xie Xian said lightly,””Cai Qi didn’t kill Wet Nurse Chen.”

Why did he have a feeling that it was as he expected?

“What do you mean?” Xiao Baoxin’s small eyes that flew over had already made everything clear.

The two of them did not hide anything from each other.

“Lady Chen is a maid that Aunt Yuan brought to the Cai family. She has been loyal all her life. She has no children and no relatives. She is only the adopted daughter of a maid. Obviously, she can’t be compared to the Caiyuan family, which has a deep relationship between master and servant.”

“If the Cai family is really investigated, Granny Chen will probably bear the responsibility.”

“Don’t think that I’m ruthless, Qingqing. Since you dared to attack Grandmother and Mother, I must warn everyone that even the Cai Clan, a great clan, will end up with its family destroyed.”

“I want them to know that this is the consequence of attacking the Xie family. As long as they can bear the consequences, they can come..”
