The trial for the Ning Clan Leader proceeded smoothly, no torture was needed, and he spilled everything he knew like beans from a bamboo tube. As a result, children under six and women from the clan were exiled to the Northwest, the rest were executed.
No one dared to call it tragic. Besides this family, the Zhao Family and the wealthy Liu were also subjected to extermination, weren't they?
It's not just their clan; relatives were also implicated. Daughters who were married off were either directly divorced or suddenly died. Linking up with the remnants of Crown Prince Xia's old faction leads inevitably to death, doesn't it?
The Xia Clan was also trembling, not daring to show themselves, fearing being assaulted or sent to the Heavenly Prison. Marriage within the Xia Clan became difficult; some engagements were broken off with various excuses. The Xia Clan was filled with curses and women's cries, lamenting the injustice of the world.
