Chapter 617 Peasant Woman 46
Thinking of this, Tan You couldn't help but shrugged his shoulders: "The day after tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival. It's a day of celebration for all the people. It's just right for us to add to the fun of the Double Ninth Festival."

After washing up, Chen Xi brought Fang Qiao over, and on the way they met Chen Yue and Fang Zhi, who were walking briskly. The two maids exchanged glances, and it was obvious that they felt that the new master had a good personality, at least not the cruel and murderous type.

In this way, everyone's hearts gradually settled down. Unfortunately, they were at ease too early. After arriving at the study, they realized what it meant to be cruel and ruthless.

Chen Xi pushed the door open and walked in: "Mother, let me take care of these things."

Chen Yue was not to be outdone: "I can do it, and so can Brother An Wen."

Tan You did not argue with them: "These noble families all have family trees, just name them one by one according to the family tree. I will give you a list, and anyone who has done evil will be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."

"If anyone resists, they will be killed without mercy."

"As for their properties, all of them should be confiscated. Yuan Cheng, each of you should send someone to follow them and support them. Yue Shu, I have another task for you. Prince Yong is on his way to Beijing. You are more proficient in marching and fighting than I am. You know what to do, right?"

Yue Shu understood: "Don't worry, Madam. I will definitely bring Prince Yong back."

Tan You smiled: "Go ahead, and be careful about your own safety."

Yuan Cheng had no idea about the arrangement of letting him stay in the capital and letting Yue Shu lead the troops to fight against Prince Yong. In terms of marching and fighting, no one in the whole army could compare to Yue Shu, and he was more suitable for defense.

Now, Yuan Cheng was very excited to follow Chen Xi, Chen Yue, An Wen and others to do the work of confiscating property. He didn't have any other hobbies, and he was only interested in confiscating family property in recent years.

Tan You was extremely strict in managing the army. He said that the family property would be confiscated, and no soldier could take anything privately. At first, everyone was naturally a little unhappy because the benefits were visibly reduced.

But there is no order without rules, and Tan You gave the soldiers extremely generous treatment. Who doesn't know that Tan You's most respected thing is to strengthen the army? Soldiers are always treated the best.

Especially for those soldiers who could no longer fight on the battlefield due to illness or injury, Tan You had taken good care of them. It was impossible for the soldiers to shed blood and sweat on the battlefield and then shed tears after they retired, right?
Although they cannot get benefits openly, Tan You will give generous rewards, which are the slush funds found by the soldiers themselves. Once the soldiers find the slush funds themselves, Tan You will take out a part of it as a reward to the soldiers. This is why everyone is willing to do this job.

Therefore, when Chen Xi, Chen Yue and An Wen followed them out, the eyes of all the soldiers were shining like searchlights, and they wished they could even scrape off a layer of the wall.

It is not an exaggeration to say that they dug three feet into the ground.

For those powerful families, the capital city on this day was like the end of the world. There were very few powerful families that were truly pure and spotless, and the rest were just young children.

Chen Xi and others took the list of evidence given by Tan You and called out the names one by one. The clans named were confused until Chen Xi explained the crimes they had committed over the years.

"Ten years ago, you took a fancy to a farm on the outskirts of the city, but the Chang family was unwilling to sell it. You found someone to lure Chang'an, the eldest son of the Chang family, to the gambling house. After Chang'an owed a huge gambling debt... the farm was successfully sold to someone else, and Chang'an was beaten to death by the gambling house's thugs. After leaving the capital, the old couple of the Chang family happened to meet the bandits by coincidence."

Chen Xi turned a page and glanced at a middle-aged man from the Wang family: "We all know what the bandits are like."

"Five years ago, you fell in love with the second daughter of the Liu family in the east of the city and forced her to be your concubine..." "She had been in the mansion for less than two months, but you got tired of her and gave her away at random..."

"three years ago……"

Chen Xi's mouth was watering after reading the list one by one. At the end, she simply stuffed the list into the hands of a young general beside her and said, "You read it."

Everyone in the Wang family couldn't help but sneer. They were just a bunch of rough guys. How many words could they recognize?

But something happened that surprised them. The young general read out the thick list of names and evidence without any hesitation.

At the end, he couldn't help but complain: "Miss, I'm applying for rotation. This is too tiring, even more tiring than going to the battlefield."

Chen Xi waved his hand: "Okay, take everyone named on the list away."

"Also, has it been sealed?"

Yuan Cheng strode in with his sword slung over his shoulder. "Everything has been sealed and counted one by one. If anything is missing, we'll have to talk it over."

Chen Xi nodded: "Okay, I always trust General Yuan to do things."

The same scene was happening in all the major families in the capital. Chen Xi was considered gentle, while Chen Yue was much more violent. At least the people brought by Chen Xi did not have to wear shackles, which barely preserved their dignity.

Chen Yue was different. She had never had a good impression of these aristocratic families. After catching these parasites, she simply made them wear only their inner clothes, tied them behind horses, and let them run forward with the horses.

If someone can't run, then just drag them all the way. Even though the other person is covered in blood and screaming in pain, Chen Yue just does not care.

There were also brave people among the people, some climbed the walls, some opened the doors to peek, and when they saw these noble families being humiliated like this, the people all applauded. In fact, these noble families were high and mighty, and the people had suffered for a long time.

Tan You also saw this scene, but she didn't say anything about it. Chen Yue was young and hot-tempered, and couldn't stand these dirty things. Besides, her methods weren't too extreme, at least she didn't kill these people, right?
With the support of the army, Chen Xi and others were able to deal with these powerful clans very smoothly. In less than half a day, the prison was full, and there was a steady stream of prisoners being sent to the prison.

The once glamorous and arrogant children of the aristocratic families are now huddled in the prison like chickens, hoping that the direct descendants can help.

Unfortunately, their wishes were doomed to fail. All the shops and farms of the aristocratic clans were sealed off, and these people were not allowed to go out. How could they take care of them?
This round of purge in the capital lasted for three days. After three days, the Caishikou was a river of blood. Those executed were basically nobles, and they were all the most sinful.

This is only the first wave. There are still some people who should be imprisoned or serve in prison who have not yet been tried. Chen Yue brought a group of criminal department personnel with him, and they were not lenient at all.

After the title of Evil God, Chen Yue was given the title of Cruel Official.
