I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 362 Notorious
The reason why Xu Jie was so angry was because he was afraid that the whole matter would eventually involve himself.

As a typical representative of the gentry, Xu Jie should have opposed the policy of integrating government and gentry to pay grains proposed by Jiajing.

In recent years, as Xu Jie's official position has been promoted again and again, his family has also taken this opportunity to aggressively annex land. Nearly half of the land in Songjiang Mansion is occupied by Xu Jie's family. Therefore, there is another " Known as "Xu Bancheng"!
Xu Jie's family not only aggressively acquired land, but also possessed a large number of looms and hired a large number of workers to produce silk for them.

In addition, as a gentry, Xu Jie had the privilege of not paying taxes, so the Xu family quickly accumulated an extremely considerable wealth, which is not too much to describe as a rich country.

For these behaviors within the family, Xu Jie strictly prohibited them at first, but later, as time went by, and people from the family often sent people to persuade him, Xu Jie just gave up and turned a blind eye to it. .

Generally speaking, big families like the Xu family are in the capital, and they have their own business in order to obtain first-hand information.

After learning that the emperor was about to implement the policy of integrating government and gentry to pay food, Xu Jie's family panicked. Therefore, they often sent people to Xu Jie to inquire about news in order to make countermeasures.

And Xu Jie was quite annoyed by the attitude of these tribesmen, but he had to bite the bullet and receive them.

"Master, your clan brother Xu Ren is here to visit, and he is currently waiting in the living room!"

Just when Xu Jie was in a daze, a servant entered the room and reported respectfully to Xu Jie.

When Xu Jie heard this, he was furious, and immediately slammed the table and cursed.

"These idiots are still running towards me now, are they dying?"

"Damn it, I'm going to be killed by these idiots sooner or later!"

After Xu Jie finished venting the anger in his heart, he immediately turned his gaze to the previous servant and said coldly.

"Go and tell him that I'm not feeling well recently, and I won't see anyone!"

"Let them have a few days and don't come to me again!"

Upon hearing this, the servant immediately responded respectfully.

"Yes, master, I will relay your words to your clan brother."

Seeing Xu Jie caressing his forehead with his hand, he waved his hand impatiently, and immediately ordered.

"Okay, okay, you go!"

After the servant responded, he turned and left, walked quickly to the waiting room, and relayed Xu Jie's words to Xu Jie's clan brother Xu Ren.

After Xu Ren listened to the words relayed to him by the servant, a deep look of disappointment appeared on Xu Ren's face, and he immediately said,

"Since Xu Jie doesn't want to see us, let's take our leave first!"

After Xu Ren finished speaking, he left the waiting room with a few children of the Xu family without stopping.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out of Xu's house, they were stopped by Jin Yiwei who had already been waiting here.

Seeing that the visitor was not kind, Xu Ren couldn't help but frowned, and immediately said in a deep voice.

"What are you going to do, I'm Xu..."

However, before Xu Ren finished speaking, he was interrupted coldly.

"I don't care who you are, even if the Heavenly King Laozi is here today, he must come with us!"

Then the leading Jin Yiwei waved his hand violently, and gave instructions to the subordinates beside him.

"Take them all away!"

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Ren and the Xu family's children, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, were controlled by the swarming Jin Yiwei and taken to prison.

"What are you going to do, we are the Xu family... ah!"

"Shut up you!"

……

Capital, Yan Mansion.

After Yan Song returned home from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he locked himself in the study without seeing anyone.

"How's it going?"

Yan Shifan turned his gaze to the housekeeper beside him, his face was full of worry.

The butler didn't speak, just shook his head.

"Oh, let me go there myself!"

After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he shook his head, and immediately walked to the study, and knocked on the door.

"Father, father?"

There was no response in the room, and then, Yan Shifan gritted his teeth and pushed the door straight in.

In the study room, Yan Song was sorting out the collection of books in the room alone, looking rather lonely. Seeing Yan Shifan coming in, he put the books in his hand aside, and immediately asked.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing this situation, Yan Shifan answered cautiously after considering his language.

"Father, when you came back from His Majesty, you shut yourself in the room, my child is worried..."

Before Yan Shifan finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Yan Song.

"What are you worried about? Are you worried that I'm dead?"

When Yan Shifan heard this, he panicked immediately, and quickly explained.

"Father...Father, that's not the case. My child is just worried about your health. After all, you have just recovered from your illness."

After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he came to Yan Song and sorted out the books in the room with him.

For the next period of time, neither father nor son said a word.

Time passed slowly like this, and finally, after the books in the study were sorted out, Yan Song picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for himself and Yan Shifan.

Afterwards, Yan Song pointed to the vacant seat beside him, and immediately gave instructions.

"sit!"

Yan Shifan didn't refuse, just sat down on the seat, picked up the teacup, and drank the tea in the cup.

Seeing that Yan Song's mood improved a lot, Yan Shifan dared to muster up the courage to ask Yan Song.

"Father, what happened?"

Hearing this, Yan Song took his eyes away from Yan Shifan, sighed, and explained.

"In the palace examination held not long ago, some students blatantly opposed His Majesty's policy of integrating government and gentry to pay food in the test paper. After learning about this, His Majesty was furious and ordered me to investigate this matter!"

"Not only that, His Majesty also ordered Jinyiwei and Dongchang to dispatch at the same time, and they were implicated in a big way, and the victims were countless."

"Look, after this incident, our Yan family will be regarded as the executioners who help His Majesty and wantonly persecute Shilin!"

After Yan Song finished speaking, he smiled miserably, his tone full of helplessness.

And Yan Shifan also fell into silence after listening to Yan Song's narration. For a long time, Yan Shifan looked firm, clenched his fists, and said every word.

"It doesn't matter if you are notorious, we just need to follow His Majesty's footsteps closely!"

……

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

At this moment, I saw Lu Fang stepping into the Hall of Mental Cultivation and report to Jiajing.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei captured his clan brother Xu Ren at the door of Xu Jie's house!"

When Jiajing heard this, his face was full of curiosity, and he immediately asked Lu Fang.

"Oh, at this time, what is his clan brother looking for him for?"

"Could it be that Xu Jie is also involved in this matter?"

Lu Fang heard that, after thinking about it for a while, she carefully gave her suggestion to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, do you want Xu Jie to come over?"

When Jiajing heard this, he nodded and accepted Lu Fang's suggestion. After a pause, he gave Lu Fang instructions.

"Well, how about this, you send someone to Xu Jie's mansion, tell him about this matter, and then let him come to see me!"

When Lu Fang heard this, she immediately suppressed her inner thoughts and replied in a deep voice.

"Obey, Your Majesty, this servant will send someone there!"
