The people did not leave, the streets were crowded, and people gathered around to watch the excitement.
After all, even if you are in Kyoto, you don't often encounter things like house raids, so naturally you have to watch the excitement before leaving.
Qin Yao never liked to join in this kind of fun, but the crowd was so crowded that they couldn't leave even if they wanted to, so they were forced to stay and watch a house raid.
I saw a few men in Imperial City clothes getting off the first two carriages, holding something like an imperial edict in their hands, striding to the gate of the surrounded mansion, and directly sent people to close the gate. Bump away.
The people in the mansion were not expecting it and were shocked. When they saw the official uniform of the Imperial City Division, their faces all turned pale.
Without a word of nonsense, the black-faced man in the lead waved his hand and ordered people to start searching, while reading out a cold imperial edict.
The black-faced man's voice was not loud. Qin Yao and the others were far apart, and they could only vaguely hear a few words about forming cliques for personal gain, inciting the royal children to disobey, and offending the holy face.
I could hear the last sentence clearly, but the black-faced evil **** shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty has mercy. The entire Zhu family, old and young, men and women, will be exiled for three thousand miles. All family property will be confiscated. This will be implemented immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wails of women and children were immediately heard in the mansion. In a short while, all the women and children of the Zhu family were driven out of the door. The speed was so fast that they didn't even have time to breathe. They were arrested and kicked out on the spot. , even the fine clothes and hairpins on his body were confiscated, and the onlookers were shocked.
"I have never seen a house raid so quickly. The Zhu family, father and son, only had a casual job as book editors. How come they were raided so suddenly?"
In the past, when we saw people ransacking their homes and being deported, it would take an hour or two before anyone came out. At least it gave them time to take a breath and pack away their belongings.
After all, it is not as serious as the massacre. No one could have expected the ups and downs in the capital.
As long as a person is alive, there is more or less room for change.
In the past two years, the court in Kyoto has not been peaceful, and most of the people have taken it for granted. It is rare to find something so strange today.
An old man who claimed to be an insider said in a low voice: "It's not like you don't know how fiercely the two people above are fighting. Now with the help of the imperial master, the East Palace has narrowly overtaken the Princess Mansion. It's not easy for the East Palace." If you catch someone in the princess's palace, do you think that's the fool in the East Palace? Naturally, you have to fight quickly to avoid killing someone halfway."
Before he finished speaking, a woman suddenly shouted angrily: "Liu Qian! Chief Secretary of the Imperial City, do you think it's honorable to bully a group of women and children?!"
Everyone turned around when they heard the sound, and saw a tall woman wearing blue uniforms galloping towards her. She swung a whip in front of Liu Qian, the director of the Imperial City Department, and tried to pull him away with a wooden shackle. Hands open.
The incident happened suddenly, but Liu Qian, the dark-faced director of the Imperial City Department, quickly retreated to avoid the whip.
The two eyebrows that were cut off due to scars were frowning tightly, staring coldly at the woman in blue.
The old man who was in the middle of what he said just now and was in the know immediately clicked his tongue again when he saw this scene, "Look, what did I say? The people from the Princess Mansion are here."
The people who were eating melons instantly became energetic. It seems that today's house raiding is not easy.
However, someone asked out of curiosity: "Who is this woman? She is so ferocious that she even dares to offend the living kings of **** like the Imperial City Secretary?"
The old man spoke again, "Who else could it be? A member of the Princess's Guards!"
The onlookers were immediately excited. Guards, the Imperial City Division and these living kings of **** are in misery.
Qin Yao and Liu Ji, who were eating melon silently behind the crowd, looked at each other.
Liu Jixiao asked in a low voice: "Madam, do you think the woman in blue looks familiar?"
Qin Yao nodded politely and directly named the man, a name she was very familiar with: "General Mu Ling."
Liu Ji excitedly patted his daughter's calf on the shoulder, "It's her, that's her!" Si Niang screamed, lowered her head angrily and asked, "Daddy, why did you hit me?"
Liu Ji then realized that he was overly excited and coaxed with a flattering smile: "It's a mistake. Dad just wants to scratch his shoulders. I'll buy you some candied haws later~"
Si Niang snorted, “I want two!”
Liu Ji raised his big palm, and the little girl immediately stretched out her small palm. The father and daughter high-fived each other in reconciliation.
After calming down his angry daughter, Liu Ji looked up again and saw that the female relatives in front of the Zhu Mansion had already put on their original costumes again.
Liu Qian dared not speak out in front of Mu Ling. After all, who dares to offend the powerful eldest princess?
However, if the princess is so obviously partial to her subordinates, isn't she afraid of involving herself in it?
Forging cliques for personal gain is currently the most taboo thing for the Holy Emperor!
Mu Ling stopped the people from the imperial city who were moving things out, and asked the Zhu family's women to go in and clean up the belongings.
He apologized and whispered to the old lady of the Zhu family in a low voice: "There is no room for reversal in the exile, but His Highness will never let the ministers who are loyal to him feel cold. Mr. Zhu and his son have already taken care of it. There will be someone Those who take care of them, don't give up. As long as people are alive, there is still hope!”
Mu Ling emphasized the word "hope", and Mrs. Zhu's originally gloomy face suddenly became more radiant. She was in her fifties and sixties, and she immediately knelt down to thank the princess for her great kindness.
Mu Ling hurriedly supported the person and glanced at Liu Qian and the others darkly. Only then did Mrs. Zhu realize that she should not be too public.
With this moment of respite, the Zhu family had the opportunity to hide more gold and silver that could be taken away, and they also gained hope on their three thousand-mile exile. Thinking of this, the Zhu family's female relatives were even more grateful to the eldest princess.
Mu Ling stood at the gate of the Zhu family, quite in a position where one man was blocking the way and ten thousand people could not get out of the way. Everyone in the Imperial City Department looked at each other and then all looked at their heads.
Liu Qian's face was darker than the bottom of the pot, but he was still calm. He stepped forward and tried to negotiate with Mu Ling.
Unexpectedly, the other party was very tough. He stretched out his hand to block the door and shouted coldly: "It's only a quarter of an hour, Liu Qian, why can't you wait? Do you have to have His Highness come here in person?"
Liu Qian took a deep breath and said through his teeth: "That's an offense!"
He immediately took action and grabbed Mu Ling's arm, preparing to pull her away.
But Muling was not a vegetarian either. As soon as he dodged and retreated, the two of them became deadlocked again.
Seeing that the situation could not be broken through, the reinforcements that Liu Qian had just secretly sent for finally arrived.
“Get out of the way, get out of the way!”
A small group of guards suddenly rushed out, pushed aside the onlookers blocking the way, and rushed to the gate of Zhu's Mansion.
Bai He obeyed the guards and walked out, facing Mu Ling who was blocking the door. She didn't take a step back, raising her chin and looking at him contemptuously, "Who do I think I am? It turns out to be Lord He, the number one lackey of the Imperial Master!" "
Baihe's mood has always been stable. His brows only twitched, and he directly showed the East Palace Token:
“We are following orders, if someone comes, move away!”
Bai He made a move with his hand, and the four guards who followed him immediately rushed forward, held up Mu Ling and dragged him out.
At this moment, a majestic female voice came: "Master He, I'd better leave it to you to teach me a lesson." (End of this chapter)
