Chapter 82: Confiscating the Household and Executing the Nine Clans

Concubine Shu stopped her needlework and dismissed everyone around her. After no one else was present, she said, "I heard that the young marquis of Yongyi Marquis's Mansion colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. He teamed up with the Northern Barbarians to kill General Pei and buried tens of thousands of Xiling soldiers. The emperor was furious and ordered the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion to be raided today and all nine clans of his family to be executed."

When Lin Yuejiao heard this, her heart sank. She didn't bother to talk to Xu Xiyue and hurried to the Chu family.

I never expected that the Chu family would really come to this day!

Xu Xiyue had no connection with the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion and didn't know them, so when he heard Concubine Shu say that the Chu family had colluded with the enemy and their property was confiscated, he was just shocked.

Lin Yuejiao rushed to the Chu family, thinking she would see the tragic scene of the entire family being wiped out, but unexpectedly the entire mansion was very quiet. Apart from the traces of house confiscation, there was no corpse or living person to be seen.

"System, where is Marquis Yongyi?" she asked anxiously.

[Front yard, host, you can't save Marquis Yongyi, it's too late...]

She really wanted to save Marquis Yongyi. After hearing what Tongzi said, she felt something was wrong and hurried to the front yard. Even though she had ancient jade that allowed her to travel through space instantly, it was still too late.

"The Chu family has been loyal for generations and will never betray their country. They will never collaborate with the enemy and put the country in danger. I will die today to show my determination. I beg Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter and clear the Chu family's name."

"Master Hou..."

Marquis Yongyi committed suicide with a sword in front of everyone, and Uncle Wang, who was being escorted by the imperial guards, burst into tears of grief and anger.

In order to prove the young marquis' innocence and ask His Majesty to give the Chu family justice, the marquis actually chose to commit suicide.

"My Lord, I will follow you right now!"

Uncle Wang suddenly broke free from the guards around him, snatched the sword from his hand, and stabbed him in the abdomen.

He has been in the Chu family for most of his life and has been loyal to them. Now that the Chu family has been raided and the marquis is dead, what is the point of him living?

Everyone looked at the bodies of Marquis Yongyi and Uncle Wang in bewilderment. They were ordered to raid the Chu family and exterminate all nine generations of the Chu clan, but they didn't expect that Marquis Yongyi would commit suicide before they could do anything.

Moreover, I don’t know whether Marquis Yongyi had anticipated this day, as he had already dismissed the Chu family’s servants. There was only one old butler in the entire mansion, and he died with his master.

The Chu family had been searched, Marquis Yongyi committed suicide, and the imperial guards quickly withdrew and returned to the palace to report.

Lin Yuejiao walked to the side of Yongyi Hou with heavy steps. Yongyi Hou was dead, but his eyes were open, obviously he died with his eyes open.

She sighed helplessly: "Rest in peace, Chu Qingyue did not collaborate with the enemy or commit treason, the Chu family is innocent, and he will definitely redress the injustice for the Chu family."

After saying this, Marquis Yongyi closed his eyes.

Lin Yuejiao had known Chu Qingyue for a while and couldn't bear to see his family members left without anyone to collect their bodies, so she asked Tongzi to help cremate Marquis Yongyi and Uncle Wang.

Then he found two jars in the mansion, put their ashes into separate jars, and buried them under a tree, waiting to be handed over to Chu Qingyue for disposal later.

Then she rushed to Bianzhou. The emperor ordered the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire family, and he would certainly not let anyone from the Chu family go.

If the mother and daughter of the Chu family also died, Chu Qingyue would inevitably become a villain.

Lin Yuejiao was anxious and prayed that the Chu mother and daughter were safe.

But when she arrived at the Chu family's ancestral home, it had also been searched and was covered in blood and the corpses of the guards and servants.

Not seeing the Chu family mother and daughter, she hurriedly asked: "System, are the Chu family mother and daughter still alive? Where are they?"

【Host, please see for yourself! 】

Without her starting the projection, the system opened and a picture appeared in the air.

In the picture, Yang was lying unconscious on the bed, Chu Yanxin was crying like a baby, Xu Zhiyu patted her back to comfort her, she turned her head and threw herself into Xu Zhiyu's arms and cried bitterly.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuejiao was surprised and asked: "Xu Zhiyu? Is he the noble man who saved the Chu family mother and daughter?"

The system had said before that the mother and daughter of the Chu family would have help from a noble person. She thought it would be herself at the time, but she didn't expect it would be Xu Zhiyu.

[Yes, the emperor sent people to Bianzhou last night to search the Chu family's ancestral home. The mother and daughter were able to survive because the Marquis of Yongyi had arranged a large number of guards to guard the ancestral home earlier, so that the mother and daughter could escape safely. Xu Zhiyu met them outside last night and learned that they were being hunted, so he brought them back to the store.]

"It's good that you're okay, otherwise Chu Qingyue would be devastated if her whole family died tragically."

Thinking of Chu Qingyue, Lin Yuejiao felt indescribably complicated.

He sacrificed his life on the battlefield to defend his country, but the emperor killed his relatives. How painful it would be for him if he knew about this.

[Host, the emperor's men are still searching for the Chu family mother and daughter in Bianzhou. They are still in danger. Xu Zhiyu can't hide them. If they are discovered by the emperor's men, the Xu family will also be implicated. ]

"I know, I'll go there now."

The mother and daughter of the Chu family cannot die, and nothing can happen to the Xu family, otherwise Xu Xiyue will also be implicated.

The mother and daughter of the Chu family were hidden in the shop by Xu Zhiyu. The shop was not open today, so Xu Zhiyu settled them in a room in the backyard.

Chu Yanxin was still crying in Xu Zhiyu's arms, "How could my brother be a traitor? The emperor and my brother grew up together. Doesn't he understand what kind of person my brother is? Why did he want to wipe out the entire Chu family? Wuwu... Xiaotao is dead, Aunt Zhang is dead, Xu Zhiyu, everyone is dead... Wuwu..."

Thinking about how those people rushed into the ancestral home last night and killed everyone they saw, and how Xiaotao died in those hands to protect her, she burst into tears.

Xu Zhiyu didn't know how to comfort women. Apart from his mother and sister, he had never had any contact with other women. When Chu Yanxin hugged him, he was so stiff that he dared not move.

It was not until Chu Yanxin fainted from crying that he relaxed and carefully helped Chu Yanxin lie down on the couch.

Looking at the unconscious mother and daughter of the Chu family, his face was solemn.

Those people will find this place sooner or later. It is not safe for Auntie and Miss Chu to stay here. The city gates are blocked. How can we send them out of the city...

Xu Zhiyu was thinking so hard that his head hurt. Just when he was frowning, Lin Yuejiao called him.

"Xu Zhiyu!"

"Fairy?"

Hearing the voice, Xu Zhiyu had an idea in his mind. How could he forget that the fairy had boundless magical powers and saving people was an easy task for her.

He couldn't wait to plead, "Fairy, Xu wants to ask for your help with something."

"What a coincidence, I have something to talk to you about too!" Lin Yuejiao glanced at the mother and daughter of the Chu family, and she knew that what Xu Zhiyu asked for was related to them.

Xu Zhiyu was stunned for a moment. Although he was in a hurry to save people, he still asked the fairy why she wanted to see him.

Lin Yuejiao said: "You are from Bianzhou, you should be very familiar with this place. Is there any place where it is safer to hide people?"

When Xu Zhiyu heard this, he quickly realized Lin Yuejiao's intention and couldn't help but glance at the mother and daughter of the Chu family.

The fairy said before that she was acquainted with the young marquis of Yongyi Marquis Mansion. Could it be that she came here for them...

Thinking about it, he said, "There is a place that is really suitable for hiding people. It is also relatively safe. The people you want to hide are Aunt Chu and Miss Chu, right? To be honest with you, I am worried about this. The city gates are blocked and we can't leave the city."

How could it be so difficult for her to leave the city? As long as there was a place to hide people, it would be easy.

After asking for Xu Zhiyu's address, Lin Yuejiao activated the teleportation function once she located him.

Xu Zhiyu felt a flash before his eyes. He was in the shop just a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye he was standing in an unfamiliar place, his face full of shock.

"here it is……"
