Tomorrow will enter the palace!

Lin Daiyu tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep for a long time.

The days of coming to the capital have been quite difficult for her.

Before, she was conferred the title of Zhaoyi without warning, and she was going to enter the palace to accompany her.Later, his natal family was ransacked for crimes.

Speaking of this, she remembered the scene in the prison of Dali Temple that day.

That day, because of the heavy rain the night before, the irritability caused by the sweltering heat for many days was washed away.

Similarly, that rain also washed away the filth that had shrouded the capital.

Braving the heavy rain and strong wind, the Xuanjia soldiers in the palace were dispatched to various noble houses.

All of a sudden, everyone in the capital was in danger, for fear that the storm would affect their homes.

Until the second day, the wind and rain stopped, the sky cleared, and the rainbow floated.

Things are settled.

The bulletin board outside the imperial city was covered with crimes.

The leader is the one who has made outstanding contributions in the previous dynasty, but has been mediocre in this generation. Most of the families are dude Rongguo and Ningguo mansions.Then there are the in-laws of Rongguo Duke's Mansion, the royal family of the Earl's Mansion, and the family of the former emperor's nanny whose family is in Jinling - the Zhen family.Following behind, officials of all sizes and wealthy families formed a string.

Among them, the punishment for them is also clearly announced, and the leader is of course the one with the heaviest punishment.However, today, Ren Ci just confiscated all their family properties, and those who committed more serious crimes were exiled to the bitter cold areas in the northwest, and their descendants were especially kind to stay in the capital.

Lin Daiyu looked at the notice that was handed down and transcribed by the servants, and there was a long silence.

She knew that Jia's family, whether it was Rongguo Duke's Mansion or Ningguo Duke's Mansion, was already rotten to the bone, just like the hundred-year-old tree, which started to rot from the root and could not be saved.

However, she didn't expect that, apart from their incompetent and extravagant children and grandchildren, they would dare to commit a life-threatening lawsuit, and they would also try to suppress it with power and money.

What is even more intolerable today is that Mrs. Wang of the second room and the second grandmother of Wang of the first room put loan sharks together.

The crimes one after another are all written on it.

All he could see was that Lin Shiyin's scalp was numb and her eyes were dim.

If mother is still there, does she know that her mother's family will degenerate like this?And grandma, does she know?

Lin Shiyin didn't dare to think about it. Although she didn't have any feelings for the entire Jia family, she still missed Mrs. Shi, who had personally taken care of her in the first few days when she arrived at the Jia family.

Putting down the paper in her hand, Lin Daiyu shouted to take care of the big and small things around her.

"Liu Guang, go open the money box, put all the banknotes inside, take out the broken silver and divide it into several purses."

Liu Guang was puzzled: "Girl, what are you doing with the money?"

Lin Daiyu didn't mean to explain: "You just do as I tell you, I'll go find my sister."

I've never seen her look so anxious. In the past, everything she did was done in a leisurely manner. Liu Guang shook his head, cleared up his confusion, and took out the box for storing money from the cabinet.

And Lin Shiyin hurriedly went to look for Lin Shiyin.

At this moment, Lin Shiyin was still in her bedroom, just getting up.

"Sister, sister..."

Lin Daiyu broke in without caring about letting the servants inform her.

Lin Shiyin was sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her hair.

Seeing Lin Daiyu running in anxiously, she helped the crooked ruby ​​and pearl hairpin on her head.

"What's the matter? You are in such a panic, but what happened?"

Lin Shiyin said it casually, she got up late, and she didn't know that the sky in the capital had changed, it became cleaner and clearer.

Lin Daiyu was silent for a while.

"A big thing happened."

Lin Shiyin's hand stopped, and she turned around, frowning into a ball.

"what's up?"

"The Rongguo Mansion was confiscated, and all members of the Jia family were arrested and imprisoned. The emperor's punishment has also come down. The masters of the Jia family are all exiled to the northwest, and all the property of the Jia family is confiscated."

Lin Shiyin understood what she meant by coming here.

"You want to go to see them in the prison of Dali Temple?"

Lin Daiyu nodded in silence.

Lin Shiyin expressed her understanding of this very well. After all, they are still her relatives. Even though these relatives are not very close to her, there is still a blood that maintains the relationship between them.

What's more, this is Lin Daiyu's mother's home, and there is her grandmother who loves her mother the most, so she is doomed to ignore it and stand on the sidelines.

"Huang Li, go to the cashier at the front and pay 5000 taels of cash."

After sending Huang Li out, Lin Shiyin got up, went to the front of the cabinet, opened it, and took out a red sandalwood box from the depths of the cabinet.

Put the box on the dressing table, and then opened the drawer of the dressing table, and took out a delicate and small key from the depths.

Then, the lock on the box was opened.

Lin Shiyin took out a stack of papers from the box, and the back of the papers had faint traces of seals.

She took out several sheets from the stack of papers and stuffed them into Lin Daiyu's hands.

"Take it, these are all yours, and you can deal with them as you like."

Lin Daiyu looked down at the things already in her hands. They were the deeds of several Zhuangzi and shops, and those Zhuangzi and shops happened to be located in the northwest region. She felt that the few thin sheets of paper in her hands were like thousands of It was so heavy that she couldn't lift her hands.

Lin Shiyin seemed to guess what Lin Daiyu would say next, so she made it clear in advance.

"These were originally intended to be given to you when you got married, but since you are about to enter the palace, it is useless to hold them. It is better to give them to you now. How you want to deal with that is all your business. "

Lin Daiyu felt that tears were blurring her eyes. She raised her head and blinked desperately to keep the tears from streaming down.

After a while, Oriole also came back.

The 5000 taels of silver bill was put into a small purse, and Huang Li handed the purse to Lin Daiyu under Lin Shiyin's gesture.

"enough?"

Lin Shiyin was worried about not having enough money.

Lin Daiyu shook her head honestly: "I don't know, but it's almost there."

Most of the silver is for the officers and soldiers who escorted Jia's family to exile, so give all the rest to grandma!No amount of it, she couldn't do anything about it, and if they wanted to live a comfortable life again, they had to rely more on themselves!

"Sister, I'll go then."

Lin Daiyu clenched the contract and purse tightly in her hands, and said firmly.

"Go, remember to take Liu Guang with you, she knows some fist skills and can protect you. Later, when you go out, bring a few more guards, remember?"

Lin Shiyin was still a little worried.

"Okay, I remember!"

After speaking, Lin Daiyu turned around and left Lin Shiyin's room.

He went back to his small yard and asked Liu Guang to gather these deeds and bank notes together, put the large denominations separately, and put the small denominations together with the scraps of silver, which were used for managing money.

They didn't bring the rest of the things. They had a long journey to the northwest, so those things would definitely be lost.

……

Under Lin Daiyu's urging, the carriage ran fast.

Not long after, the chariots and horses stopped at the boundary of Dali Temple.

The coachman driving the carriage was clever. Before Lin Daiyu got out of the carriage, he ran to the guard guarding the gate and declared himself home.

Lin Daiyu's current name is quite useful, after all, she still has the identity of Zhaoyi.

The people of Dali Temple made it easier for them, and specially sent someone to lead Lin Daiyu and the others to go inside.

The prison in Dali Temple was originally a place where guilty officials were temporarily held, so it is still clean.

The young guards led the way ahead, and looked back at Lin Daiyu's master and servants from time to time to ensure their safety.

Finally, they arrived at the prison where the family members of the Yuanrong and Ning governments were imprisoned.

Lin Daiyu saw Mrs. Shi lying on the crude bed made of planks and straw in the prison at a glance.

I saw Mrs. Shi with her gray and white hair hanging loose, her face pale and lying dying.

Sitting on the ground beside the bed was Mrs. Xing with a pale face, and Mrs. Wang who was squatting in a corner of the prison, still keeping her back straight.

However, Mrs. Wang's face was ashen, and her eyes were slack.Although her waist was straight, her clothes were a little messy, and her hair was also in a mess.

Lin Daiyu couldn't bear to look at the old Mrs. Shi who described it in such a mess.

"Grandma..."

When the people in the prison heard her voice, they raised their heads, opened their eyes, and looked over.

When Mrs. Shi saw that it was Lin Daiyu, a thrilling brilliance suddenly burst into her eyes, and she struggled to get up.

Mrs. Xing saw how difficult her mother-in-law was going, so she stood up, helped Mrs. Shi up, and helped her to the door of the prison.

"Yu'er!"

Lin Daiyu felt very sad when Mrs. Shi called Yu'er, and she nodded towards Liu Guang.

Liu Guang understood, took out some pieces of silver from his sleeve, and stuffed it into the hands of the young guard.

"Brother, our girl wants to talk to the old lady for a while, please help me."

The young guard glanced at Lin Daiyu with some embarrassment, as if he suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was not only a relative of this Jia Sinner, but also a current concubine.

The young guard looked solemn, and saluted Lin Daiyu respectfully.

"Speak slowly, girl, I'll wait outside first!"

"Thank you sir!"

Lin Daiyu returned the salute slightly.

The guard stepped back.

Lin Daiyu turned back again, looking at Mrs. Shi who was already in tears, a shallow sigh sounded from the bottom of her heart.

"Grandmother, you should know the punishment the emperor imposed on Jia's family! Yu'er is useless and can't do anything, you take this."

As he spoke, he took two bulging purses from Liu Guang's hands and handed them to Mrs. Shi.

"Going to the northwest, the road is difficult, and when money is needed, I have already asked someone to take care of the officers and soldiers outside. Grandma, Yu'er hopes that you can take good care of Jia's house. You are here, and Jia's house is here. My mother Your loved ones are here!"
