Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 26: The family was broken up overnight!

Chapter 26: Overnight, the family was broken up!

While the East Factory was confiscating the property of Liu Wei and Liu Ji, Qin Lu and Bai Hu were also confiscating the property of Ma Wensheng and Qiu Yue respectively.

Unlike Liu Wei and Liu Ji, Ma Wensheng and Qiu Yue were not in the capital at the moment, and there were only some old, young women and children at home.

When there was no response when Qin Lu knocked on the door, he immediately ordered his men to break down the door of Ma Wensheng's house and led the Western Factory men into Ma Wensheng's home.

In the front yard, Ma Wensheng's two sons, Ma Cong and Ma Jie, were organizing a group of servants to block the main house.

More than a dozen servants, all holding sticks and with terrified looks, stood trembling in front of Ma Cong and Ma Jie.

"What do you want to do?!"

"My father is the Minister of War Ma Wensheng! My father is a hero of the Ming Dynasty!"

"If you eunuchs dare to touch me, my father will definitely punish you when he comes back!"

Ma Wensheng's youngest son, Ma Jie, looked horrified and threatened in a timid manner.

Ma Wensheng's eldest son, Ma Cong, was still trembling as he hid behind Ma Jie, not even daring to look at Qin Lu.

Ma Cong passed the imperial examination last year and has been waiting for selection in the Ministry of Personnel since then.

As long as Ma Wensheng uses his connections, he can be chosen for an official position with high power and high income.

Ma Jie, on the other hand, had been doing evil, living a life of extravagance and debauchery in his hometown of Junzhou, and was repeatedly impeached by the censors.

Not long ago, Ma Jie ordered his servants to beat innocent people to death in the street.

This was known to Zhu Jianpei, the Prince of Hui who was enfeoffed in Junzhou, who reported it to the court personally.

Ma Jie was a commoner with no achievements, but he needed the prince of the Ming Dynasty to report the murder personally. This was enough to show how powerful his background was.

After Ma Jie was arrested and taken to the capital, the three judicial officials finally determined that Ma Jie should be hanged!

But because Ma Wensheng had been promoted to the Minister of War and held great power, no one could do anything.

In the end, neither Ma Wensheng nor his son Ma Jie were punished, and the matter came to nothing.

Ma Jie also stayed in the capital, preparing to return to Junzhou next year.

Relying on Ma Wensheng's power, Ma Jie was used to being domineering and bold in Junzhou.

When he saw Qin Lu, the second-in-command of the Western Factory, bringing people to search his house, he actually dared to organize his servants to resist.

Ma Cong was just a scholar and didn't know what to do when faced with this matter, so he had to leave everything to Ma Jie.

Qin Lu looked at Ma Jie and Ma Cong grimly, and gave cold orders to his Western Factory men.

"Arrest all of Ma Wensheng's relatives, but kill anyone who resists!"

"Yes, Second Gear!"

The guards from the Western Factory were extremely vicious and rushed forward with cold knives in hand.

Ma Jie glared and roared in horror: "Let's see who dares to catch me!"

"You guys! Come on, everyone!"

Ma Jie commanded his servants to stop the Western Factory's men.

But the servant is just an ordinary person after all. How could he dare to resist in front of so many Dongchang men holding sharp knives?

Qin Lu roared, "Anyone who doesn't put down their weapons within three breaths will be killed!"

Wow!
The servants quickly dropped their sticks and ran away.

"Sir, I won't resist. I'm just here to make a living. Don't kill me!"

"My lord! Ma Jie forced me to do this. How could I have the guts to resist you?"

"Sir, please let me go, I don't know anything!"

"..."

In the blink of an eye, all the servants in front of Ma Jie ran away, and only two slaves he brought from Junzhou were still standing in front of Ma Jie.

"A bunch of bastards!"

"Turning your face and ignoring me!"

When Ma Jie saw this, his face turned pale, but he continued to curse.

The last two slaves were also afraid.

"Master Ma, how about we just... um... uh..."

One of the servants wanted to persuade Ma Jie to give up resistance, but before he could finish his words, Qin Lu had already drawn his knife!

With just one blow, he cut the throats of both slaves at the same time.

The two men covered their necks and groaned twice, then fell to the ground and died.

The hot blood splashed on Ma Jie and Ma Cong's faces, and their pupils suddenly dilated. Seeing his two closest subordinates being killed by Qin Lu with one blow, Ma Jie felt the despairing fear like a mountain pressing down on his head.

The desperate fear completely distorted his mind.

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

"How dare you kill someone! How dare you kill my people!"

"You're done! When my dad comes back, I'll make sure he kills you!"

Qin Lu frowned, and swung the cold knife in his hand quickly, accurately inserting it into Ma Jie's mouth.

Then Qin Lu shook his wrist quickly, cutting open Ma Jie's face, and a piece of bright red meat fell out of Ma Jie's mouth.

"Wuwuwu!!! Aaaaaaaah!!!"

“Wuwua ...

Ma Jie covered his bloody mouth and could no longer utter a word.

"Quack."

Qin Lu wiped the blood off his knife on Ma Jie's clothes and tilted his head.

Immediately, two guards from the Western Factory came up, stuffed a rag into the wound in Ma Jie's mouth, and then tied the cloth and his mouth together with a rope.

Ma Jie finally became quiet.

Qin Lu looked at Ma Jie with disgust.

"If His Majesty hadn't wanted to capture you alive, you would have died eight hundred times already."

"Take them all away!"

"Yes, Second Gear!"

In Ma Wensheng's house, the guards from the Western Factory came in and out, escorting Ma Wensheng's wife and children, and moving Ma Wensheng's gold and silver belongings...

The torches in the hands of the Western Factory guards illuminated Ma Wensheng's house as bright as day.

Ma Wensheng's family members were taken to Xichang Prison one after another.

Cart after cart of gold and silver was transported to the Xichang Yamen.

It contrasts with the team of Liu Wei and Liu Ji who were taken to the Dongchang Prison.

With such a big commotion happening in both the East and West Factories, the Jinyiwei naturally did not want to be left behind.

After the White Tiger Guards kicked open the door of Qiu Yue's mansion, Qiu Yue's mother and Qiu Li's wife stood in the yard, at a loss.

Qiu Yue was originally a commoner, but after Qiu Li, who was granted the title of Marquis of Xianning, died, he had no children.

In theory, if there is no heir, the title will be automatically cancelled and the corresponding salary will also stop.

In order to continue passing on the title of the Qiu family, Qiu Yue pretended to be Qiu Li's son and inherited the title of Marquis of Xianning.

In this way, Qiu Yue was adopted into Qiu Li's clan and was also responsible for supporting Qiu Li's wife.

Because of this, Qiu Yue was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Datong Prefecture at a young age.

Qiu Li's wife bowed politely: "My Lords, what is this?"

Bai Hu had a blank expression on his face: "The Jinyiwei, following the order of His Majesty, arrest Qiu Yue's entire clan, confiscate their property and execute them!"

"what?!"

Qiu Li’s wife turned pale, was covered in cold sweat, and collapsed to the ground in fear.

Qiu Yue's mother was even more unbearable. She rolled her eyes and fainted from fright.

"Do it!"

"Yes, Third Master!"

The Jinyiwei took action immediately.

Qiu Yue had few family members in the capital, only two mothers, a wife, seven concubines, and a son.

However, the property seized from it filled five carts.

Tonight, two factories and one guard raided the homes of four ministers in the capital.

Two former cabinet ministers, one is the current Minister of War, and the other is the general commander of Datong Prefecture.

These are powerful figures in high positions of power in the court.

Overnight, the family was broken up!
