The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 656 looting the house (2)

Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Youshi, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Xia Jingui, Jia Rong's new wife Hushi and others were all sent to Jiamu's side. Except for a few close maids, other aunts, Tongfang, and maids were sent to Jiamu's side. They were locked up in the side courtyard next to them, and everyone listened silently to the noise of officers and soldiers coming and going outside the room, the sound of things moving in and out, the screams of their own men, the crying of their wives and mothers-in-law, and the atmosphere was not even loud. Dare to speak out.

Jia Mu closed her eyes and silently counted the beads in her hand.

After a long time, Mrs. Wang suddenly asked, "Why don't you see sister Qiao and brother Xiang?"

The sudden sound was especially sharp in the quiet room.

Mother Jia opened her eyes, glanced at Mrs. Wang, who seemed somewhat vicious, mocked the corner of her mouth, and continued to chant Buddha with her eyes closed.

Wang Xifeng led Jia Cong, and stood beside Jia Mu with her head down, motionless, not bothering to answer.

Li Wan and Xia Jingui were quick-witted, so they naturally thought of the Chen family.

Li Wan put his arms around Jia Lan, and couldn't help feeling regretful: After all, I started late, this Wang Xifeng had done business with Chen Zhao a few years ago, I'm afraid he would have climbed into his bed long ago, if I sent him to the door earlier, I'm afraid that Lan'er is also in Chen's residence, so there is no need to worry about today.

Xia Jingui was terrified at first, thinking that she was really blind and had married into Jia's family, but then she thought of what Baoyu told herself, that Jia Lian helped him set up the shop under Chen Zhao's name, and her heart moved, her nervousness was inexplicable relax.

Although Jia Huan didn't know why, after all, after several years of experience, he was no longer the Amon of yesterday, not to mention that he knew that what his boss gave him was "leave", not "dismissal", so he didn't panic after all.

Youshi and Hushi were worried about their own affairs and didn't dare to intervene.Although Mrs. Xing knew that something was wrong, it might be a good thing for their eldest family, so she didn't say anything.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Mrs. Wang asked again, her voice was urgent and sharp, and there was a little urgency.But Wang Xifeng still ignored her.Mrs. Xing snorted coldly, and said: "Sister Qiao and the others will naturally be taken care of, so don't worry about the second wife."

Mrs. Wang turned her head, stared fiercely at Mrs. Xing and asked, "Is there someone to take care of them? Who can take care of their two children?"

Mrs. Xing didn't speak, she looked at Wang Xifeng, seeing that Wang Xifeng refused to raise her head, Mrs. Xing thought for a while, then said vaguely: "Mother Feng will arrange it naturally."

Mrs. Wang stared at Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng remained motionless as if petrified.

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "Girl Feng, tell me, did you get some news first?"

Wang Xifeng raised her head indifferently, gave Mrs. Wang a cold look, then lowered her head again: "Second wife, at this time, is it interesting for you to be so noisy?"

Mrs. Wang said loudly: "I want to ask you, can you resolve the matter of our family?"

Wang Xifeng sneered and said: "Second wife, who do you think I am? The emperor in the court? For such a big matter, I, a woman in the back house, can only resign myself to fate. How can I resolve it? Besides, we? Who are you and Is it us? With our family? Then please make a clear distinction, second wife. You and our family are two families. The two families separated last year. We are just of the same clan! Your family is the mother’s family of the imperial concubine, and you belong to the imperial concubine. The biological mother is very honorable, and our family can't climb high."

Mrs. Wang's chest heaved up and down with anger, so she gave Wang Xifeng a vicious look, and said no more: "Yes, there is Yuan'er, why did I forget, our family still has Yuan'er in the palace as a noble concubine, as long as she is there, No matter what kind of wind and waves he is, our family can stand upright!
Seeing that she had stopped, Wang Xifeng smiled coldly and continued to accompany Jia Mu to pray with her head down.

After what seemed like a century, the door of the Upper Court was finally opened again, and the officers and soldiers filed in and stood in two rows.Prince Zhongshun walked in slowly.

Mrs. Wang and Li Wan reflexively pulled Xia Jingui and Jia Lan behind them.Yuanyang stood in front of Jiamu, but was pushed away by Jiamu and pulled behind her. Wang Xifeng pushed Jia Cong into Yuanyang's arms, and stood in front of Jiamu herself.

Prince Zhongshun smiled slightly, and bowed his hands: "I have seen Mrs. Jia."

Supported by Wang Xifeng, Jia's mother stood up and returned the salute: "The prince is joking, the whole family is punished, and the old man can't escape. Now she is just a sinner and cannot afford such a great gift from the prince."

Prince Zhongshun smiled and said: "The old matriarch was ordered by the grandfather of the first country. The emperor thought of the great efforts of the old man of the first country, and specially conferred grace. No matter what crimes the two houses of Rongning and Ningxia have, they will not be implicated by the old matriarch. Old lady The Zhuangzi and Yinliang that you left behind as the coffin books are also left behind."

Then Jia Mu knelt down facing the east and bowed her head in a big salute: "Thank you for your grace." After getting up, Jia Mu asked, "Please tell me, my lord, what crime has been committed in our house?"

Prince Zhongshun smiled and said: "The crimes are different in each prefecture. So now the old lady asks me, and I don't know how to answer."

After hearing this, Jia Mu didn't force her, she just said: "In that case, I just wait for the holy order."

Mrs. Wang couldn't help asking: "My lord, how is the noble concubine in our mansion?"

Prince Zhongshun gave Mrs. Wang a strange look, couldn't hold back the ridicule in his heart, and asked: "My lady asked about the imperial concubine? But as far as I know, the emperor's brother didn't register a noble concubine, and now there are only one empress and two concubines in the palace." Needless to say, the empress, the second concubine is the virtuous concubine Wu, and the virtuous concubine Zheng, where did the noble concubine come from?"

Mrs. Wang asked anxiously: "Why not? Xiande Concubine, no, it is the Yuan Concubine in our mansion, isn't it the noble concubine?"

"Concubine Yuan? Is there such a concubine?" Prince Zhongshun pretended to think about it for a long time before he suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that Madam was talking about Shangshu Jia of Fengzao Palace. She is just a small fifth-rank Shanggong How can you deserve to call yourself a noble concubine? The rules of your mansion are really... tsk tsk..." Prince Zhongshun shook his head and said, "No wonder Jia Yuanwailang overstepped the rules. That's why he thinks he is the biological father of a noble concubine? Tsk tsk, the fourth concubine in the palace The title was passed down from the ancestors, noble and virtuous, respected by a single character, and has never been changed, when did a double-character title of concubine Xiande appear? It's not a posthumous title."

Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes and almost fainted on the ground, Xia Jingui hurriedly supported her.

Prince Zhongshun clapped his hands suddenly, as if thinking of something, he said: "But that Jia Shangshu, I heard that because of poor postpartum care, he seemed to have passed away last night?"

Seeing Mrs. Wang's eyes widened in disbelief, Prince Zhongshun smiled again: "But it may be that this king heard it wrong. After all, it is something in the harem. This king is in front of the court every day. How can I hear it clearly?" Woolen cloth?"

Mrs. Wang passed out completely.

Xia Jingui quickly helped her to a chair and sat down, patting her chest and pinching her.Li Wan stood outside the crowd with his arms around Jia Lan, watching silently, refusing to step forward.

Jia Mu sighed: "My lord, since you are on a business trip, I dare not keep you here. It will take time for His Majesty to make a decision. I beg the lord to give the women in the mansion some dignity and let them be placed here or somewhere. As soon as the food is received, the old man will go out by himself."

Prince Zhongshun smiled happily and said: "The old lady is kind, since you said this, I don't want to be that villain. Adult men, all should be sent to the prison temple to wait for the judgment; female relatives and underage men, that's all. , let’s stay here for the time being. The old lady doesn’t need to use her own coffin book for the food, someone will bring it in. It’s just that it’s not as extravagant as you used to be. The old lady and the grandmothers and girls should make do with it. After all, After a few days, whether there will be any in the future is still unknown." After speaking, he laughed and went out.

After he went out, the officers and soldiers also quickly retreated, locked the door behind them, and left behind guards.

I only heard Prince Zhongshun say outside: "Give them some dignity, and don't make people feel embarrassed. What will happen in the future is still unknown, just watch carefully."

All the soldiers agreed loudly.

Everyone in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief.At this time Mrs. Wang woke up leisurely, and cried for her Yuan Chun when she woke up: "My poor Yuan'er..."

Jia Mu shouted angrily: "Fool, don't stop talking!"

Mrs. Wang was frightened by Jiamu, and her crying stopped completely, but she couldn't stop crying.

Mother Jia leaned wearily on the seat cushion and said: "Now that things have come to an end, you all calm down, put away those small thoughts in the past, don't argue, and find a place to stay peacefully, everything will wait for you from now on. Let’s talk about it all after we leave here.”

Everyone agreed in a low voice, and each found a chair to sit or lie down.
