By Jia Xiuzhen

Li Wan's Daoxiang Village was also surrounded by people. Just as he was suspicious, a man who looked like a leader came up to the door and preached: "Follow the emperor's dictation, Jiamen Li is a chaste woman, and she is allowed to take her child and live in shelter. Don't copy it." Check it out." Li Wan knelt inside to thank Shengen.

When the girls around me were feeling rejoicing, a group of soldiers entered the yard, and a woman on top of her head entered the house. Qi Ai said: "Grandma, the servants in this house are all on the roster, and there is no way to check them at that time." Tell me, you should go with me." Seeing several people wanting to kowtow to intercede, he hastily said, "If you don't leave now, those officials may come in and arrest people. Their hands and feet are not serious, and they will make grandma tired! "

The girls had no choice but to cry and follow them out, and the woman saluted and left.Li Wan followed to the door, looking at the scene of soldiers, horses, ghosts, crying wolves and howling outside, he felt sympathetic.

As a result, she was the only one left in the huge courtyard, surrounded by officers and soldiers down the slope, but it was difficult for even a fly to fly in.Just about to lose consciousness and look around, I saw a few people coming here from afar, instead of going to the jail, they came to Daoxiang Village, but they were sister Qiao and Tong Ping'er.

The two officers and soldiers escorted them to the door, and then went away by themselves.Both of them were tear-stained, looking panic-stricken, Li Wan quickly welcomed them in, let them sit on the stool, and poured two cups of tea.Ping'er drank a few sips of tea before he came back to his senses. Seeing that there was no one waiting in Li Wan's room, he asked, "Grandma has been here too?"

Li Wan nodded, repeated what the emperor had said, and asked, "How are you doing there?"

Ping'er stroked Sister Qiao's back and said: "A lot of people rushed in all at once, rummaging around, and those who stopped were beaten. Our sister was so scared that I was also pulled out. I was about to Walking outside, a man came and said that my sister had been promised by someone else, so she didn't need to be imprisoned. I heard that I took advantage of the time and said that I was no longer a slave of the Jia family. The man asked me a few words and asked me to follow. My sister stayed in the house. The others were escorted away, and the two of us stayed in the house and didn't dare to wander around. Just now, two more people came and asked us to follow here, and we came here. "

Sister Qiao was still too frightened to recover, and Ping'er didn't speak as brightly as before.After hearing this, Li Wan felt something different. ——Although the crime is not as good as a married woman, it is mostly after the investigation and questioning. When it comes to ransacking the house, where is there any human face to talk about?Not to mention accommodating.Because of my previous dealings with several commercial firms in Sihai and Jiuzhou, since I have the emperor's word of mouth, everything is easy to say.The matter of sister Qiao is very strange, it seems like a favor sold by the person in charge.But he didn't know whether the favor was sold to the Jia family or the Wang family.

Li Wan was thinking about it, but sister Qiao over there seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and fell asleep leaning on Ping'er's arms.

It was getting darker outside, and the wind was getting colder.In order to close the team and take a rest as soon as possible, the officers and soldiers hastened to drive everyone to one place.Lai everyone waited for the confiscated property from the servants' homes to have been brought in one after another and piled up in the flower hall. The king of Xining looked at it with a smile and said: "This little housekeeper has earned such a big family's property. This Jia's mansion is really worthy Great family."

King Dongping said, "It's getting dark here, how are the prisoners' meals arranged?"

The king of Xining laughed and said, "My lord is worried again. Is it possible to starve to death after starving for a day or two? No one has even arranged for our meals, so my lord is worried about others."

The commander and envoy had made arrangements for the way in and out, so King Dongping stopped talking.For a while, a table was brought in from outside, and the king of Xining wanted to drink two cups. The king of Dongping just ate two mouthfuls and stopped his chopsticks on the grounds that it was not suitable for drinking during his errands. Can relax a bit." After that, he drank and ate food, enjoying himself.

The kitchen of Jia's mansion was still in full swing, the commander ordered the cooking, and sent the cooks over to work first, who would dare not be dedicated?First, the officers and soldiers came, and there were so many unheard and unseen things, all of them were full of greasy food.When they were full, they ordered the cook to boil a few pots of rice porridge, which were packed in large wooden barrels and carried to the detention center.Regardless of the master and servant, they all eat in general, even food and water, which saves trouble.

A group of servants, the former uncles and men, all bowed their backs and shrank their necks to take a bowl of porridge from the cooker, and stood aside and started to drink it.Just one bowl, nothing more.Hundreds of people were divided into several courtyards, and someone came to ask for instructions on heating, and the commander said: "How cold can it be if these many people are locked in one place?!" up.

Daoxiang Village had already had people lock the courtyard door from the outside, and the soldiers guarding it had also withdrawn. They all knew that there were only two or three women inside, and they were afraid that they might escape.Only in this way, they didn't even get a bite of gruel.Fortunately, there was a stove and charcoal in the backyard of Daoxiang Village, and there was a well underneath. After boiling hot water, the snacks in the house were served, and the three of them had a good meal.

Li Wan said: "I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of us these few days. You should go and have a rest first. It won't be easy to say in the future."

Ping'er led Qiao's sister to sleep in the room where Qiao's former residence lived, and Li Wan went back to his own room and sat for a while.With a thought in his mind, Ah Tu covered his tracks and went to several closed places to look around. He didn't see any bullying by taking the opportunity, so Li Wan felt relieved.The rest didn't want to interfere, so they called Ah Tu back.

The king of Xining was half drunk, the commander of the Habayashi Army led a few people to carry a few extremely heavy boxes in and said: "This is what the third master Jia took to the side yard and found it, locked in a Behind the Buddhist hall, it’s really not easy to find without knowing it. I don’t know why the thing is so confidential, so I asked the two princes to have a look.”

King Xining said with a smile: "The commander is really too careful, you only published the brochure, what else do you want us to read?"

Having said that, he stopped his chopsticks, stood up from the chair, and walked towards the two boxes with strides.Seeing this situation, King Dongping had no choice but to come and check.The commander waved his hand, and two soldiers came up from the side, took an ax and broke off the copper lock on the top, opened the lid and saw that it was full of curiosities.

King Xining laughed and said, "It's worth hiding."

Two small officials came to the side, one took out the things, and the other logged in.After taking a few samples, the expressions of King Xining and King Dongping gradually changed. King Dongping's expression became more solemn, but King Xining looked a little happy.The two petty officials were still counting, and King Dongping stopped him and said, "Stop. Commander, please put a seal on all the things you got in that secret room first, and send another team to escort them. The king is going to enter the palace." Holy face."

The commander immediately agreed after hearing this, and asked someone to make arrangements without asking why.

The king of Xining said with a smile: "That's right. The king and the prince are going together, together." He said, "The person who came out of the head just now has made a great contribution, but I don't know how to deal with the crime."

The two princes hurried into the palace with the things copied from the small library of Mrs. Wang's Buddhist hall.

After a long time, the king of Xining County came out of the palace, looked back at the palace gate, snorted coldly and boarded the car back home.As soon as he arrived at home, he saw his precious son coming out to welcome him. He asked about his health and well-being, knowing his son like his father. The king of Xining County said: "Okay, don't be too busy. Although I am going this time, I am not in charge. The one who is still here now I was kept inside to discuss, but I was sent out."

The eldest son said: "Hey, father, I don't want to make any big things, but ask him if there is a beautiful girl and wife in his family, you still can't decide?!"

The king of Xining reprimanded: "There is no measure! Jia's family is in a mess this time, and they are even implicated with the former Jiangnan Zhen's family. If they really want to mess with her family, I don't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse in the future. You put this thought to me as soon as possible!"

The prince did not give up and said: "It has been rumored that even the maids in his family are sensitive and delicate, and they are better than the girls of other families. Even if the people in his family can't move, is it possible that they can't even touch the maids? Father If you allow me, the child will pick it out by himself tomorrow! Who will check this!"

The beloved son of the king of Xining was extremely jealous, and instead of being angry, he persuaded: "This time it won't work. Not only the old man Dongping watched, but also the people who ransacked the house were not soldiers and horses, they were all from the Habayashi army. There are no people from us there, and the commander is even a trusted confidant of the Holy One, don't cause trouble for some female sex. Don't lose all the foundations earned by your ancestors, it will really be over."

The prince said: "Our family is a hero in the founding of the country, hereditary will not surrender, let alone the prince is here, what are you afraid of?"

The king of Xining sighed and shook his head: "Look at the current battle in the north. If the river is wider and deeper, I am afraid that even the prince's territory will be lost! Now this is not the past. He is too deep-minded. People have fallen into the trap. Look at our four kings and eight princes, how many of us are still able to stand? The government has taken the opportunity to increase many officials from the Six Departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs... Sigh, you, don’t just focus on it all day When it comes to women, you should also think about serious things!"

The prince is still waiting to talk, but he heard the young woman quarreling outside, and called to ask, but it was the two concubines of the king of Xining who sent people to see if the prince had returned to the mansion, and they happened to be the ones who were favored recently. The people below are also very arrogant, and they don't want to deal with it, and they will quarrel when they encounter it.

When the king of Xining heard about the root cause of the incident, he raised his beard and said, "It's getting worse and worse! Wait for me to teach you a lesson!" After saying that, he hurriedly walked away.Leaving the eldest son curling his lips at his father's back: "Talking about me!" Turning his eyes, he said to a long entourage beside him: "Tomorrow, you and Yu Se will go with my father, and if you have any good ones, bring them to me." , it is really impossible to write down the name and identity for me, we will think about it later." Both of them agreed with a smile on their faces.

The prince asked again: "Where did you get that hot guy from before? Can Mother Feng convince you?"

The one beside him hurriedly replied: "Now I am willing to eat and drink, but I still don't believe that I have entered the palace. Mother Feng was taken to look around yesterday, and she is a little loose today."

The prince smiled and said: "That's good. If such a talent really wants to be strong, even though it's not the same taste, but I'm afraid that I will accidentally damage her. Don't I feel sorry for you man!"

The people on the side hurriedly echoed: "Being able to enter the eyes of the Shizi is a blessing she has cultivated in her lifetime! When the time comes to see a talent like the Shizi again, I'm afraid she will regret all these days and wasted it." What a happy time!" After speaking, several people laughed lowly.

The son's heart was relieved, and he ordered: "Tell Mother Feng, take her around to see and see, what are you afraid of?"

The people at the bottom quickly agreed, and when they talked about the newcomers that the son is now favoring, someone next to him took some exquisitely crafted embroidered spring pouches and presented them. He tore off the jade pendant from his body and rewarded the man, then went to the backyard by himself.The rest of the people gathered around the one who got the reward, booing and wanting to treat the guests to a drink, but the person had to agree, and all the people went out.

The wind was tight at night, and the rooms where the servants were detained were alright, but there were too many people to sleep.The prisons were all empty yards, so we had to close our acquaintances together to keep warm, and closed our eyes to rest for a while.Those who work outside as errands usually wear thick clothes, but this time they are easy to suffer, but those who work as errands inside, who burn silver frost charcoal all day long and wear thin clothes, will suffer now.If it had changed from the past, the deputy ladies would not take off the clothes of the women and wear them on themselves? !It's not that time now, even if they were shivering from the cold, no one would send such kindness.

Mrs. Wang and the others are in the Zhuijin Building, which faces the water on three sides. Although there are tables, chairs and beds, there are no curtains, curtains, etc., let alone a brazier and charcoal stove.There are only a few of them, and each of them only has a bowl of gruel in their stomachs, how can they withstand it.At night, Fu Qiufang was so cold that even her toes were numb.Mrs. Xing is not much better.

She looked at Mrs. Wang again. Since Baochai could remind Mrs. Wang of this, she naturally prepared for it. Even Yinger Wenxing, who is not around to serve now, listened to her idea and took advantage of her time to change into thick clothes.Jin Chuan'er and Rui'er were also people who had worked with Jia Zheng in the north for several years, and they were also very thoughtful and stronger than ordinary people.Both of them wore big woolen clothes and thick jackets, Rui'er also brought snacks for Brother Xun to eat.In contrast, Second Sister You was only concerned with crying, so she couldn't think of these things.

Rui'er couldn't see the child suffer, so she shared two pieces with Brother Su.Let the two babies lie side by side again, and cover them with the blankets they brought.Second Sister You hurriedly bowed to thank her, but Ruier avoided it and refused to accept the gift.Fu Qiufang said: "I can endure it for two days a day, but what about three or five days? How much food can you bring!"

Rui'er said indifferently: "It's a day to day, what can grandma do?"

Fu Qiufang was at a loss for words, she snorted and stopped talking.Mrs. Xing doesn't like any of them now, especially when she thinks that the family assets she has saved all her life will be evacuated by others, and she just feels that her life has been wasted.Thinking about how it will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I feel fear and hatred in my heart.

Now that the content of the imperial decree is fully known, seeing that it is all the fault of Jia She, it is said that husband and wife are one body, and I am afraid that I will not be able to escape.If you are not careful, you will be exiled to the bitter cold like Youshi.As soon as I thought about it, I wished I could die immediately.How dare she really let her die!Such a heart is fried, cold and hungry, naturally no sleepiness, until the window turns white, it seems like a few lifetimes have passed.
