Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 121 Champion General

The crowd immediately made way for a passage, and the person who came in was Li Liangsheng, the eunuch in front of the emperor, also known as Eunuch Li.

The faces of the Qiao family members changed. Could it be that the imperial edict to confiscate their property had arrived? Qiao Lili glanced at Qiao Bieyuan and his two sons. They were all in shackles, but they still looked gloating. I'm afraid they were thinking that if they were going to be in trouble, they would be in trouble together.

Tang Dong also had an expression that showed he was enjoying the show.

However, they may be disappointed.

The crowd watching also looked nervous, not knowing what the content of the imperial edict was at this moment.

Eunuch Li looked at the old Duke's wife and said, "Please ask the old Madam Lin of the Duke Ding's Mansion to accept the decree."

"The Emperor said that the old lady is exempted from the kneeling ceremony and can just stand to receive the Emperor's orders." Being able to stand to receive the Emperor's orders should not be a bad thing, and hope arose in the hearts of the Qiao family members.

The old lady could stand, but others couldn't. Qiao Lili, including the old patriarch Qiao who led the Qiao clan members, and Shang Zhen who led the servants, all knelt down.

"In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Duke Dingguo and his sons are brave and skilled in battle. Duke Dingguo defeated the Western Turks and captured three enemy cities in one fell swoop. The prince of Duke Dingguo hid his tracks, sneaked into the enemy camp, burned food and grass, and killed the commander. He is invincible and brave. Duke Dingguo is now awarded 100 acres of good farmland and a manor in the suburbs of Beijing... The prince of Duke Dingguo is conferred the title of the third-rank champion general..."

Simon was driven back to his lair, and the Western Turks started to make trouble again. It doesn’t matter, we will just continue to fight them.

"Thank you, Lord." Qiao Lili and the others kowtowed to express their gratitude. At this time, the crowd watching also knelt down and shouted, "Thank you, Lord." "Thank you, Lord."

When Qiao Bieyuan and his two sons heard the imperial edict, they collapsed to the ground. Tang Dong's face looked as ugly as if eight fathers had died.

The officers took the father and his two sons away, and after interrogation, they returned all the property that they had embezzled from the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion. The governor of Shuntian Prefecture also sent officers to drive out all the female family members living in the East Mansion, allowing them to only wear the clothes they were wearing, and all the jewelry on their heads had to be removed.

This group of people, crying and shouting for their parents, all went to the General of Cavalry's mansion. Tang Xing, who was originally in good health, was almost cried to death by them.

The Mansion of the General of Cavalry did not dare to confront the Mansion of the Duke of Dingguo at this time, and the Mansion of the Duke of Dingguo did not want the money as it had all been donated to the court. So they had no choice but to sell their farms, shops, and fertile lands, collect the silver, and hand it over.

Qiao Lili had made an assessment before asking for this silver. If they asked for too much, they couldn't afford it, and they were afraid that they would simply cheat and not give it. If they asked for too little, it would be useless, and they wouldn't be hurt or punished. The amount of silver was the bottom line of the General's Mansion. They could make up the difference by scraping together a little, but their lives would definitely be affected in the future.

You can imagine the days of the General of the Cavalry Mansion. Can the natives be good to the later ones? The whole family should suffer well.

Not only did he have to bring back dozens of people who needed food, drink and service, but he also lost more than 400,000 taels of silver. That was a really sad feeling.

The emperor was indiscriminately angry again when he was in court. He said that his life was not as good as his son's. This daughter-in-law really loved him. When she said she was short of money, she not only paid out of her own pocket, but also asked others to pay out of their pockets. Look, more than 400,000 taels of silver were sent to her.

Look at the hall full of people, both civil and military, but none of them are as good as a little girl. If you don't accept it, whoever can get me 400,000 taels of silver in a short time, I will give him a promotion, even 40,000 taels is fine.

Nothing.

The Third Princess's Mansion.

Bai Junzhe returned to the Third Princess's Mansion after finishing his shift. Just as he was about to enter the main courtyard, he was stopped by the old woman guarding the gate.

"The princess has asked Suxi to serve tonight. General Bai, please go to the guest house and settle down."

"The princess told me this morning that I should stay with her tonight. I cannot go back without seeing her. I cannot disobey the princess's order." He hadn't been to the princess's side for two days and was feeling very anxious.

Especially this Su Xi who always finds ways to pester the princess. The waiters living in the guest house all say that although Su Xi looks so fragile and soft, she will cry for water three times a night. Even after taking the medicine, they can only make the princess... once. If this continues, what sense of existence do they have and what place do they have in this princess's mansion?

"Please tell me that I'm back. If the princess says she doesn't want to see me, I'll go to the guest house." He stuffed a piece of silver into the gatekeeper's pocket. The gatekeeper weighed it with her hand behind her back, and it was half a tael. She grinned and said, "Then General Bai, wait here for a moment. I'll ask Miss Lihua to tell the princess."

After saying that, he twisted his waist and went in. After a while, he came out and said happily, "Princess, please come in."

"Thank you, Ma'am." Bai Junzhe pinched a few pills in his sleeve pocket and walked into the main courtyard with firm steps.

The princess's personal maid Haitang took him to the bathroom, threw him a set of clean clothes and left.

Bai Junzhe cleaned himself up, poured a glass of cold water, took a pill from his sleeve pocket, and hid the rest in his new clothes.

After waiting for a while and no one came to invite him, he had to go to the inner room as he was familiar with the place.

The first thing I saw was a table littered with cups and plates, and then I saw Su Xi holding the third princess Yu Xinyao and feeding her wine mouth to mouth. Yu Xinyao's face was flushed, and she was obviously drunk. There were not many clothes left on both of them, and Yu Xinyao only had a bellyband on her upper body.

When Su Xi saw Bai Junzhe coming in, she provocatively reached her hand into Yu Xinyao's bellyband, and then fed another mouthful of wine into Yu Xinyao's mouth.

Yu Xinyao had already seen Bai Junzhe coming in, and she called out with drunken eyes, "Brother Mo." After Bai Junzhe lost weight, he no longer had the sturdy build that originally belonged to a military commander. On the contrary, he looked a little weak, more like a scholar who was powerless. He had more similarities with Murong Mo.

"Brother Mo." Yu Xinyao stretched out her hands towards Bai Junzhe in Su Xi's arms. Bai Junzhe already knew that this Brother Mo was calling someone else, not him, but so what? He reached out and took Yu Xinyao from Su Xi's arms and walked towards the inner room.

Su Xi was unhappy. She had done all the preparations and warm-ups, but someone came and interrupted her. How could she tolerate this? He followed him into the inner room.

......

"Su Xi," "Brother Mo." Yu Xinyao called coquettishly...

Bai Junzhe had already taken the medicine, and the arrow was on the string and could not be unshot. It was impossible to drive Su Xi away at this time. Bai Junzhe closed his eyes and made up his mind, and together with Su Xi...

Half an hour later, I called for water.

But Yu Xinyao seemed to be still unsatisfied...

Bai Junzhe himself didn't understand why he could lose face like this in front of Su Xi. Just now, Su Xi looked at him with contempt and disdain. He stood up and took a pill secretly under the pretext of drinking water...

Another hour passed and water was called for again.

.......Yu Xinyao tasted the sweetness, let go of Bai Junzhe and responded to Su Xi, leaving Bai Junzhe aside.

Su Xi looked at Bai Junzhe provocatively.

Bai Junzhe got up to drink some water, took out the last three pills, and swallowed them all in one go. A quarter of an hour later, he rushed towards Yu Xinyao like a madman...

Suddenly, his face flushed, his blood boiled, and he could no longer suppress the fishy and sweet taste in his throat. He spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body deflated like a deflated ball. His eyes went dark and he fainted.

At dawn the next day, an unconscious person was thrown at the gate of the Bai family's courtyard in Saozhu Lane.
