Chapter 167 The people are determined to destroy the Xie family

Patriarch Xie was stunned upon hearing this, and then his face was filled with bewilderment. "Has it come to this?"

Sending the younger generation away means that the family is facing genocide and it is time to preserve the bloodline.

In just a few months, is the Xie family, like a big tree, going to collapse?

The Xie family members all looked at each other in confusion, feeling that this world was magical and unreal.

Xie Fangyuan said, "It's always a good idea to be prepared. The most important thing now is to find Cui Jing. He has a letter of surrender. Once the letter of surrender is released, the Xie family will accept it. Even if Northern Yan wants to swallow up the Xie family, it will be difficult to change its words. This crisis can be considered a safe escape."

No one would believe it if they told it to others. In the past, the Xie family refused to accept the surrender from Northern Yan, but now that letter of surrender has become the life-saving talisman that the Xie family has been longing for.

"How did Beiyan do it?" Patriarch Xie gritted his teeth.

Xie Fangyuan said, "In the past few days, riots have broken out in Laizhou. The people have risen up in rebellion, and the garrison has taken off its armor and rebelled against our Xie family. I don't think it took a few days. Besides, you should be thinking about why the people are rebelling."

"Could it be that if you're not afraid of being labeled a traitor, then you're not afraid of the powerful soldiers and sharp blades of my Xie family?"

In this round, Beiyan did not take action on its own. It was the people of Laizhou who rushed forward. It took a lot of courage for unarmed people to dare to confront soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp weapons.

Xie Fangyuan closed his eyes and answered himself, "Nothing else. Beiyan gave them more and better things, which was worth their risking their lives for."

"The Northern Yan army crossed the Jiang River and headed south. Everything in Pingzhou will remain the same, so let's leave that aside for now. But after they capture Yuanzhou and Yunzhou, they will order people to measure the land and distribute the acquired fields to the people."

The fact that Northern Yan could be given land when it came to power was enough to make the people of Laizhou risk their lives for it. As for the garrison... the garrison also came from the people of Laizhou. As for the slaves... Northern Yan also said that the old indentures of selling one's body were no longer valid.

The people were determined to destroy the Xie family. In addition, the Northern Yan army was heading south. If the Xie family wanted to survive, they had no choice but to flee Laizhou.

Or, there is another way, which is to kneel down firmly and wait for the outcome, like awaiting interrogation.

However, by then, it was no longer a matter of surrender and negotiation, but rather of surrender after defeat. The Xie family felt even more aggrieved and had no right to speak.

"Da Lang, take some people and leave Laizhou lightly. As for the others, continue to send people to find Cui Jingzhi, and then wait for the arrival of the King of Northern Yan."

Xie Xi shook his head and bowed to Xie Fangyuan, "Uncle, I won't leave. I am the eldest son of the Xie family. No matter what situation the Xie family reaches, I will live and die with the Xie family. Please let my second and fifth brothers take their people and leave."

"Good." Xie Fangyuan nodded. "If you want to leave, go. If you want to stay, stay."

"But I've got to be frank. If you're responsible for someone's death or commit a serious crime, and Northern Yan settles the score, don't blame the Xie family for not being able to protect you."

At this point, Xie Fangyuan sighed again: "Third time is better than last time. We missed the opportunity after all."

Beiyan also gave the Xie family three chances. The first time was when Xie Xi went to Xianyang City and Cui Si made a request. The second time was when they went to Yunshang City to fool Yan Xingchuan. Cui Jing and Xu Daozhen, on behalf of Beiyan, also made a request.

The Xie family members all said they would consider it and refused to agree.

A few days ago, Cui Jing came to Laizhou City with a letter of surrender, but the Xie family wanted to bargain and was unwilling to accept it.

Although Cui Jing said he would come again in three days, the Xie family had already used up their three chances.

"Try your best to find Cui Jing."

.

At this time, Cui Jing, who was missing from the Xie family, was pressing Xie Lu's head into a bucket of water with one hand. The water in the bucket splashed all over the floor. Xie Lu struggled desperately to get up, but was pressed back down again.

When the other person's strength to struggle weakened, he pulled him up again, waited for him to catch his breath, and then pressed him down again, three times in a row. Seeing that Xie Lu's face was getting paler and paler, and if he continued, someone would die, Cui Jing threw Xie Lu aside.

"You bastard!" Cui Jing still felt unsatisfied and kicked him twice.

Xie Luo lay on the ground like a dead dog, gasping for breath, his head buzzing.

He regretted it! He really regretted it!

I regret it so much that I wish I could go back to the past and slap myself hard a few times to wake myself up!

In the past, he was used to being domineering in Laizhou. Even if a young lady he liked didn't want to marry him, he would force her. She would cry afterwards, but her innocence had been lost, so she gradually accepted her fate.

And no one dared to do anything to him.

He thought that Cui Si was just one of the many young ladies he had met. Even if he had gone too far, she was already his and would marry him in the future. No matter how reluctant she was, she had to obey him.

No matter how angry the Cui family was, they had no choice but to agree to Cui Si marrying him due to the relationship between the two families...

"I... I was wrong." Xie Luo's face was covered with tears and water. "I was wrong... I was really wrong. I apologize, I apologize..."

"Cui San, please let me go..."

"What's the use of apologizing?" Cui Jing sneered and sat on a chair beside him. An attendant brought him a towel to wipe his sweat. He drank a cup of tea and looked down at Xie Lu who was lying on the ground.

"The Xie family's current fate is all because of you. You are the eternal sinner of the Xie family."

Originally, Cui Jing had planned to give the Xie family another chance and send them a letter of surrender three days later as agreed. However, the Xie family still failed to recognize the reality and wanted to bargain, which made him feel a little disgusted.

That would have been fine, after all, everyone wants to keep as many things as possible, but the Xie family secretly sent Xie Luo away, telling him that Xie Luo had committed suicide by taking poison.

He really was being treated like a fool.

Since there is no sincerity at all, there is no need to talk about it.

"Come here, send Xie Silang back to the Xie family. Tell them that I have been captured by robbers and cannot escape at the moment. Please let them take care of it themselves."

Xie Luo was thrown like a dead dog at the door of the Xie family's main residence.

The person who had already "committed suicide by taking poison" appeared again. The expressions on the faces of the Xie family members were very embarrassed, but when they heard the person who came tell them that Cui Jing was kidnapped by robbers, a chill rose from the soles of their feet and went straight to the top of their heads.

After hearing this, Xie Fangyuan was stunned for a moment before he flew into a rage, his refined demeanor completely gone: "Are you crazy! Are you crazy! How dare you offend Cui Jing at this hour!"

Cui Jing was Cui Si's brother from the same mother. Beiyan wanted the Xie family to execute Xie Luo, but the Xie family members actually tried to escape by faking their own death.

Do you really think I'm a fool?!
