The Zhou family couldn’t understand why they came to arrest people.
At this time, at the gate of the Zhou family.
Cui Yingyuan stood in place, with the Jinyiwei guards behind him as fierce as wolves and tigers.
The entire Zhou family was in chaos, and many people began to flee, but they were all stopped by the Jinyiwei.
Some people also wanted to come forward and say something to Cui Yingyuan, wanting to make some explanations.
After all, in the Zhou family's view, they had already done everything in advance, there wouldn't be any major problems, and the conditions had already been negotiated, so why did they suddenly turn against each other?
This was something they hadn't expected. They wondered if there was some misunderstanding. Perhaps an explanation would be enough.
But Cui Yingyuan didn't give them any chance to explain.
You have to know that this time the Jinyiwei are not arresting gentry who have violated the law, but the rebels of the Wenxiang Sect. Naturally, you have to make a bigger noise, otherwise people will think you are framing them.
Cui Yingyuan then said directly: "Enter the mansion and arrest them. If anyone resists, kill them without mercy."
"yes."
Behind him, countless Jinyiwei shouted loudly and rushed directly into the Zhou family without any courtesy.
A butler came to the door, and the Jinyiwei went up and knocked him down. Two Jinyiwei held the butler down, gagged him, and arrested him.
Want to talk?
You can't speak. If you really want to speak, then go to the Jinyiwei prison and speak!
The entire arrest process did not last too long. For the Jinyiwei, this kind of arrest was a piece of cake and not difficult at all.
So they quickly arrested all the people, and the Zhou family was also guarded and sealed off. The Jinyiwei escorted the Zhou family back in a mighty procession.
After bringing the people back, the Jinyiwei didn't waste any time and directly separated them and started interrogating them quickly.
Zhou Fusheng, the head of the Zhou family, was the first to be brought up.
Cui Yingyuan looked at Zhou Fusheng with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
This is a man in his fifties. The robe he wears is very luxurious and you can tell that he has taken good care of it.
He has a fair face and small, but bright eyes. It can be seen that he is a smart and capable person.
Cui Yingyuan did not have Zhou Fusheng hung up to torture him. Instead, he asked him to sit opposite him and served him tea.
"You should know me, right?" Cui Yingyuan looked at Zhou Fusheng and said slowly.
At this time, Zhou Fusheng's face looked very ugly. He was a shrewd man. He could tell from Cui Yingyuan's official uniform that this man was now the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. That meant one thing, Xu Xianchun was finished.
Xu Xianchun had already agreed to what he had done before, and both parties had discussed it. Now that the head of the Jinyiwei had been replaced and he had been arrested, it could only mean one thing: Xu Xianchun was finished. Since Xu Xianchun was finished, his own fate would probably not be good either.
Zhou Fusheng looked at Cui Yingyuan, nodded and said, "Of course I know him."
"I'm actually quite curious about you," Cui Yingyuan said casually. "It's surprising that a man as remarkable as Lord Xu ended up falling into your hands. All of us in the Jinyiwei are Lord Xu's confidants, especially me. So let's not waste time. Your whole family has been apprehended, so it's better to get rid of them quickly."
"What do you want to ask?" Zhou Fusheng looked at Cui Yingyuan and said slowly.
"You should know what I want to ask." Cui Yingyuan said with a smile, "Before that, I do have something I want to tell you. You were arrested this time not for reselling disaster relief grain, but for participating in the Wenxiang Sect's rebellion."
"You know what? His Majesty actually likes people who follow the rules the most. Whatever His Majesty likes, we Jinyiwei will do. No matter what we do, it is important to follow the rules."
As he spoke, Cui Yingyuan stood up, walked over to Zhou Fusheng, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "As long as you follow the rules, we, the Jinyiwei, will follow the rules as well. Reselling disaster relief grain is a sin in itself. Wouldn't it be better to just admit it quietly?"
"You insisted on causing trouble. Now, Lord Xu has lost his position. Do you know what position Lord Xu holds in His Majesty's eyes? He was personally promoted by His Majesty. Now that you've made Lord Xu do something like this, you've brought shame upon His Majesty."
"Your Majesty must not lose face. We, the Imperial Guards, must redeem this honor. You were the one who did this, so naturally the blame must be placed on you. So now your crime has become participating in the rebellion of the Wenxiang Cult."
After saying this, Cui Yingyuan laughed first.
As for Zhou Fusheng, his face was pale and his originally bright eyes became dim.
Obviously he also knew what Cui Yingyuan said meant, and realized that he had done something stupid.
"So now, tell me everything you know and wait for His Majesty's judgment. In this world, only His Majesty can judge. If His Majesty wants to judge you, you must wait patiently. If you dare to resist, this will be your fate."
"If you resist again this time, I'm afraid your whole family will die together. We Jinyiwei are not unruly people. Don't worry, your family will be in good order."
Zhou Fusheng raised his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Can I save my family's lives just by saying this?"
"It's hard to say." Cui Yingyuan smiled and said, "It depends on what Your Majesty thinks. But for you, I have no other choice. Of course, we can also choose to die together as a family. After all, it's nice to have a complete family."
