An old lady's life

Chapter 133 Chaos in the Capital City

Time turns back to day.

Seeing that the Emperor Yujia was about to return to the palace, what Jia She was worried about never happened, and it was inconvenient to inquire about the news at Yuquan Palace, so Jia She thought that the matter about the prince should not happen, but he didn't want to be in the middle of the afternoon. A middle-aged man hurried in from the outside.

"Master." Old Zhou looked terrified, and the middle-aged man was the same. They usually used Rong Mansion's monthly salary and rewards to help the master inquire about the news, not to mention that the master only inquired about the news and never asked them to do anything like murder and arson. In the past three years, the brothers have been extremely comfortable, much more comfortable than when the Duke was there.

But I don't think, this time it's a big event. This middle-aged man is the one who went to Yuquan Palace with four brothers. They just found a job to build a Zhuangzi near the Yuquan Palace. Wandering around Zhuangzi, talking with the nearby villagers, I learned from the villagers that in recent days, the mountains and forests are always not quiet at night, as if something is inside, which makes everyone panic, and they are even more afraid to come out at night.As soon as the middle-aged man and the others heard about this matter, they spent several days inquiring about it, but they didn't want to find out that there were footprints all over the forest. From the comparison of the shoe prints, the middle-aged man and others thought it was the army sent by the emperor. Didn't think much about it.

But these days, the more the middle-aged man and the others thought about it, the more something went wrong, and finally they secretly heard some words last night.

"Tomorrow night... Yuquan Palace... going up the mountain... the sound of the cuckoo will prevail."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was so frightened that his legs went limp. Fortunately, he knew that his life was at stake, so he didn't make any movement. After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, no one passed by their hiding place before they dared to sneak back When they arrived at the small farmhouse where they lived temporarily, the five of them discussed for a long time. On the second day, they pretended to have a bad stomach and asked for leave. They searched in the mountains and forests near Zhuangzi.

They feel that something big is going on, and they can't get involved, so they must not stay, and there may be unwarranted disasters.

Hearing what Old Zhou and the middle-aged man said, Jia Amnesty immediately stood up, nodded calmly and said, "Old Wei, you have done a good job. Then you go back and have a good rest. Keep a low profile. You appeared near Yuquan Palace. I can't help but look it up, I'll do all the tricks, go to the doctor with five brothers to grab a pair of antidiarrheal medicine, stay at home for a few days, and can't go there."

As soon as Lao Zhou and Lao Wei heard what the master said, they knew that the matter was serious. In order not to leave the slightest doubt, they really had to do a full set of plays. I can't speak clearly.

Jia She gave 50 taels of silver to Lao Wei to share with the other four, and also told them to stay at home and recuperate well, pretending not to know anything they heard these days.

Old Wei and the others naturally understood how to get away with it. They took it in and left the Rongfu quietly immediately. They would calm down and realize that it was really irrational to come to the Rongfu on impulse. I hope he didn't attract other people's attention. I looked around, turned into an alley and left from the other end.

Jia Amnesty didn't think much about it, so he ordered Lao Zhou to lead a group of people to stay in the mansion today, Lao Zhou took the order to leave, and he hurried to Rongxi Hall.

Hong Ye was not surprised to hear what Jia She said. Seeing his uneasy expression, she ordered him to sit beside her, and then said: "You have done a good job, leave the rest to God's will, let alone we are far away. In Beijing, Rong Mansion cannot be involved."

Jia Amnesty was actually calm enough, after all, he had already been mentally prepared, but with his mother's affirmation, he felt extremely at ease in his heart.

"Son, thank you for your mother's teaching. I have to inform my cousin and Zhen'er that they must strictly guard the Ning Mansion tonight. No matter what happens outside, they must not open the door. There is also the Bowling Marquis Mansion. The eldest cousin is in the camp. What should I do if my cousin is alone? How about sending someone to invite my cousin over?"

Hongye shook her head, it was obviously impossible to leave the Marquis Bowling's mansion behind, "The Shijia, send someone to deliver a letter to your cousin as soon as possible, saying that my aunt is sick and let him come back to see her."

Jia She immediately returned to the front yard and wrote a letter, instructing Lao Zhou to send a reliable person to deliver the letter to the camp.From the small gate at the back of Rong Mansion, through the alleys of Rong Ning to Ning Mansion, Jia Jing is already at home, and even Jia Zhen is there. Do you spit?

Jia Jing was stunned by the fright, but Jia Zhen was not overly shocked. He had been with the two uncles for a while, and vaguely understood that Uncle She seemed to be anxious recently, and now he found the source.

Originally, Jia Amnesty didn't want to mention that wise man, but since it was all for this, he thought about it and had to tell his cousin.

"Cousin, you may not be happy about what to say next, but let me tell you first. Brother knows that you have a lot of friendship with that wise man, but I have to tell you that wise man is the prince's man, and he hides deep , the official position is small, you may not be implicated this time, no matter what that Lord Ming wants to ask of you in the future, you have to think about the Ning family, and you must not promise him."

There are still three nails in the rotten ship, not to mention the prince of a country, there must be loyal people, I am afraid that those people will want to use the Ning Mansion to do something.

Jia Jing's face suddenly changed, and Jia Zhen blinked. He had also seen that Master Ming, who was a man of breeze and moonlight, and getting along with him really made people feel like a spring breeze.

"Okay, I see." Jia Jing felt a sense of shame and embarrassment in his heart. Jia Amnesty saw it and hoped that nothing would happen to his cousin here. But for some reason, his mother always paid special attention to his cousin, so he couldn't help it. Accidentally, I hope my cousin must trust him for the sake of the same clan.

Since Jia Amnesty was able to get the news in advance, and guess certain things, there are only a lot of smart people in Beijing, and other families ignore it. Just talking about the old master Zhang of the Zhang family almost jumps his feet.

He guessed it was one thing, but it was another thing when it actually happened. Thanks to the fact that the eldest brother and the second child were not in Beijing, otherwise the two would definitely go out of Beijing with the emperor, and the two of them got close to the prince. With them in the matter, there is absolutely no way to stay out of it.

When Zhang Yang left work in the afternoon from the household department, he felt that the whole capital city was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere. There were inevitably more patrolling teams on the street, and the patrol team strictly checked everyone on the street.Even he himself was asked several times, Zhang Yang was sweating, he didn't know whether he was provoked or anxious, something was wrong!

Back at Zhang's house, Zhang Yang didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he went directly to Rongshou Hall.But he saw his father lying on a deck chair, his forehead covered with a kerchief soaked in cold water.

"Father, it's not good." He squatted directly on his father's face, lowering his voice habitually.

Old Master Zhang opened his eyes, and motioned him to sit down, "I know, you go and get ready, strictly guard the mansion tonight, guard the doors and windows, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

Zhang Yang was dumbfounded, and stammered, "Father, did something happen?"

Old Master Zhang tugged at his son's ear and said, "It's a big deal, I'm afraid something big will happen to Yuquan Palace, so don't ask too many questions, just manage the safety of the mansion well, and we'll talk about it after tonight."

Zhang Yang's heart sank, what happened to Yuquan Palace?No... He was so nervous that his Adam's apple slid up and down.

Around dusk, people's intuition for danger is very keen. The originally bustling street market is empty, and the sun is gradually sinking under the setting sun, until darkness covers the earth.

Kick, click, heavy footsteps sounded regularly on the street, only a sharp scream was heard, "Catch the traitor!"

The excitement started here, the sound of swords and spears clashing was particularly obvious in the night, and ordinary families hid together and shivered.

In Rongfu, everyone was staying in Rongxi Hall. The three children had already been coaxed to sleep and were sleeping on the couch next to them. Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were vigilant in the front hall with swords in their hands.

Team after team ran across Rongning Street, and Rongning and Ningfu were in darkness, only the lantern hanging at the gate was still burning with candles.

Originally thought that the purpose of these people was the imperial palace, but someone took the opportunity to make trouble, only heard the door being knocked, someone banged on the door hard outside, and there were rustling sounds.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng glanced at each other, their expressions were tense, and the strong men with weapons all surrounded them in a protective posture, and there were people with weapons waiting at every door of the house, no matter who came, Will never let go.

Jia Amnesty wiped his face, waved his hand and said, "Shoot the arrow!" What the hell, dare to come to Rong Mansion to shout, and don't show you how bad it is, do you really think I'm a sick cat?

Having said that, the archers who were standing behind facing the wall of the gate fired their arrows together, only to hear a wailing sound, but the sound of slamming the door became more violent, Jia Amnesty immediately gave an order, and another rain of arrows came out. Go out, this time seems to have shot a lot of people, those people saw that the Rong Mansion was a stubborn stubble, so they also retreated, and changed to other people's houses to stir up trouble.

Under Hongye's consciousness, the Ning Mansion next door was naturally attacked, but Jia Zhen was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, he was more skillful and daring than Jia She, and even personally beheaded a thief who jumped in from the wall.

Well, Rongning and Ningfu are hard stubble here, and the thieves who make trouble are greedy for life and fear of death, so they have to go to other streets to make trouble.

The chaos lasted for two or three hours, and it didn't come to a complete stop until the light of day dawned. Jia Amnesty opened the corner door himself, and under the faint light, he saw some black and red traces on the steps. The smell of blood.

Everyone glanced at the situation outside. Many people had never seen blood, and couldn't help spitting yellow water.After closing the gate again, Jia Amnesty asked the housekeeper to go to the Ning Mansion to inquire about the situation. Butler Lin opened the small door and passed by the Rongning alley in person. Within a quarter of an hour, Butler Lin hurried back again.

The Ning Mansion did not suffer any loss, the old man is fine.

When it was getting brighter, Lao Zhou and the two strong men ran out to inquire about the news.And Jia Amnesty also sent people to Zhang's, Wang's, and Baolinghou's residences to inquire about the situation. The Wang's were not prepared enough, the master was frightened, and several servants died; the Zhang's were well prepared and did not suffer any losses; There were people in Linghou's mansion, but Shi Nai alone outnumbered ten people. He was originally a lieutenant in the army, so he was not afraid of these bandits.

Lao Zhou and the others went for about half an hour and came back, and it was almost Chen's time.Lao Zhou narrated what he saw and heard in the city one by one, and the people were frightened. There was no one to set up stalls in the streets, and the shops in the downtown streets were even closed. The palace looked the same as before, but the gate of the palace There are twice as many guards, and they are heavily guarded.

Jia Amnesty and the others were all relieved, Zhang Shi and Wang Shi stayed up all night, not daring to sleep, they would get definite news, after breakfast, Hongye sent them down to rest.

Jia Hu, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian were taken to the classroom by Mr. An, whether they were in class or doing other things, they were just killing time.Mr. An slept soundly that night. Ever since his leg was injured and he was walking outside, he has been able to stay calm.

Jia She and Jia Zheng sat together with their mother, and Hongye rubbed her forehead. Since she wanted to pretend to be sick, her complexion would not be too good. "Now wait for the news from the palace. I'll go to sleep for a while. You brothers can discuss it yourself." work."

After watching their mother enter the inner room, the two brothers came to the front hall and sat on the chairs. After relaxing, they fell asleep on the table.
