Early the next morning, the sky was still dark, and Jia Rong came out of the yard. In the front yard of Ningguo Mansion, I saw Lai Sheng tying up Jia Yun and Jia Qiang with ropes.
"The binding technique is good, it's a bit interesting." Uncle Rong looked around the two of them, "Don't have too many thorns, just one or two on the back to express the meaning."
Brother Qiang lowered his head, but Uncle Rong still saw his bruised face and suddenly had another idea. "Go to the kitchen and scrape some ash from the pot bottom to make the wounds on their faces obvious."
Brother Qiang is a person who loves beauty, so why would he be willing to wear that dark stuff? "Brother Rong, can you not apply that? Applying some rouge will have the same effect."
"Then put on more rouge." Brother Rong laughed and said, "Don't feel wronged first. If you want to take revenge, just listen to what I say and do it. Not only will you be able to take revenge, but you will also be able to help our Jia family solve a big problem. trouble."
Brother Qiang hummed softly, twisted his waist and said, "I will do whatever Brother Rong says."
Jia Yun also nodded and said: "I'm not wronged, not at all."
Brother Rong exchanged a few words with Lai Sheng, and after seeing their faces smeared with rouge, he said: "Go early, these big gentlemen will go to the palace to discuss things later. You want to Before the officials of all sizes enter the palace, arrive outside Prince Zhongshun's Mansion and make a full gesture of begging for mercy from our Ningguo Mansion. Let all the officials, big and small, who are passing nearby see and hear."
Lai Sheng got the order and asked the servant chief in the mansion to help the tied Jia Qiang and Jia Yun get into the carriage and go straight to Prince Zhongshun's mansion.
Arriving in front of the palace, Manager Lai and the servants took the two of them out and knelt down on the ground. Mr. Lai said: "Second Master Xiaoqiang, Brother Yun, I'm offended."
As he spoke, Manager Lai asked the boy to pull out two long sticks from the carriage.
"What...what is this for?" Jia Qiang and Jia Yun were both shocked.
"Second Master Xiaoqiang, don't panic, it's the uncle's order. If no one comes out from the palace, let someone give the two brothers a stick." Manager Lai said sheepishly, "It's the uncle's order, let the two brothers get a stick." The young master screamed more sadly and more sincerely."
Brother Qiang and Brother Yun were really panicked. They didn't want to be slapped. They immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, begging King Zhongshun for forgiveness.
The sky was dim, and all the masters of Shenjing had already mounted their horses and were about to enter the palace. Suddenly I heard two ghostly screams in the night and almost fell off my horse.
"Who is making a noise here?" Feng Tang was a veteran general in the court and was very close to the Jia family.
General Feng rode his horse toward the source of the sound with murderous intent. When he arrived in front of the palace, he dismounted sideways and walked forward. "Aren't you the manager of Ningguo Mansion? Why are you here?"
General Feng Tang saw the two people kneeling and crying on the ground again. They looked familiar, as if they had seen them somewhere.
General Manager Lai asked General Feng to greet him and replied truthfully: "Uncle Rong in the mansion ordered the old servant to capture the two unscrupulous descendants of the Jia family in front of the palace and ask them to ask for forgiveness from the palace."
"You and the palace..." Feng Tang was halfway talking when he suddenly remembered what happened yesterday when Xiong Da beat Jia Qiang and Jia Yun, and he suddenly understood.
I cursed in my heart, what a shameless person came up with such a bad idea, and almost tricked me to death.
He couldn't appear at the scene, and it was best not to go to court.
As a close relative of the Jia family, the Feng family suffered losses, and they were also angry that those who were loyal to the palace were not short-sighted. After all, King Zhongshun is the emperor's brother. If the Feng family expresses its stance, they will inevitably be accused of forming a clique for personal gain!
The best choice at this time is not to help each other and not to go to court to discuss, so as not to be a peacemaker!
General Feng rolled his eyes and fell backwards, stirring up dust on the ground with a snap. He shouted: "Why did we fall off the horse? Ouch, it hurts us to death. Hurry, send us back home for treatment..."
Everyone in Ningguo Mansion was stunned when they saw it. Could this acting skill be any more fake?
The people from the infantry patrol and commanding the Yamen also heard the noise and rushed over. Seeing the situation in front of the palace, they immediately wanted to take away all the people.
But I heard General Feng Tang on the ground scolding: "You are blind. People from the Jia family came to ask for forgiveness from King Zhongshun. Who of you will bear the blame? If you don't send us back to the mansion, we will fall." I was injured when I dismounted. Yes, it’s you, the blind guy. Your father is still working as an errand at our place, so hurry up and carry us back."
The people living around Prince Zhongshun's palace were all high-ranking officials, most of whom were lords who wanted to enter the palace to discuss matters.
After a while, someone came over after hearing the news. It was Niu Jizong from Zhen Guo Gong's mansion. Zhen Guo Gong and Ning Guo Gong were both the Eighth Dukes.
The two families are also family friends!
Niu Jizong watched General Feng Tang being carried back and asked curiously: "What's going on with Old Feng?"
General Feng Tang groaned, "It's so uncomfortable, we've been hit hard now."
"You old boy, have you ever stumbled?" Niu Jizong laughed and scolded while riding his big horse, and headed toward the palace out of curiosity. Only then did he see Lai Sheng's face clearly, and then looked at the two people on the ground who were asking for forgiveness.
Ouch! My mother.
Lao Feng was so ungrateful that he fell off the horse very decisively.
"Ouch, it hurts us to death. Where is the little brother who patrols the Yamen? Come on, help me. My arm is broken. Send me home quickly."
The servants of the nine-door infantry patrol and commanding yamen were almost crying, so one of them was sent away, and another one came. Our patrol is to guard the nine gates of Shenjing and patrol the city at night to hunt down thieves. We are not here to carry you back home.
As soon as they put Niu Jizong on their backs, several of the patrolmen saw someone coming on the avenue after hearing the noise. I was cursing my mother in my heart, it’s not over anymore.
The new man was very smart, so he saw General Feng being carried away, and saw Niu Jizong on the back of the patrolman from a distance. I had a bad feeling in my heart, so I just pulled up the reins, turned the horse's head and ran away.
"Oops!" He really fell off the galloping horse. "Help!"
The patrol commander's brows twitched, and he felt that there was something evil outside the palace. I couldn't stay here any longer, so I called my brothers to go back and guard the city gate.
The front door of Prince Zhongshun's palace was quiet for a moment, and Manager Lai shouted loudly: "On the order of the head of the Jia family, I captured Jia Qiang and Jia Yun to apologize to Prince Zhongshun."
Jia Qiang and Jia Yun also followed Manager Lai, kneeling down and shouting.
"How shameless! The Jia family wants to ruin the reputation of my palace!"
King Zhongshun had already received the news, cursed loudly, and asked Chang Shi to send someone to capture Xiong Da. He left the mansion through the corner gate, mounted his horse and ran straight to the Great Inner Forbidden Palace.
The court today is very strange. There are actually many people missing from the military attache camp, and all of them are absent due to illness or injury.
Emperor Xiande was so angry that he ordered the eunuchs to disperse hastily. When I arrived at the South Study Room, I listened to King Zhongshun's report, and a cup broke on the ground.
"Shameless! How come the Ningguo Mansion has raised some shameless people? They are all from the same line." Emperor Xiande also gritted his teeth and said, "And you, Xiong Da, hurry up and send him to the Ningguo Mansion."
King Zhongshun smiled bitterly and said: "My brother has given the order, but I didn't expect Jia Jing to do such a thing."
"You don't even know who has tricked you, stupid, stupid!" Emperor Xian De scolded.
King Zhongshun quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "My brother is stupid and shall be punished by death!"
Seeing his closest brother so frightened, Emperor Xian De sighed with extremely complicated emotions, "Get up, it's not your fault. I didn't expect that that bastard not only has no shame for himself, but also the Jia family's face." Oh, what a shameless villain."
"My dear brother... what should I do, my dear brother? What about the Supreme Emperor..."
"What you are thinking about now is not what the Emperor is like, but what is happening to the old concubine!
But I have to worry about that shameless boy, if he really kneels down in front of Xiong Da. He has defiled the family name of the Jia family and ruined the reputation of the two princes. We will see how it ends.
Do you think that those who didn't come today are really sick and injured, and they are all waiting to see the results later. "
This matter was originally caused by Prince Zhongshun's unreasonableness, but it was manipulated by Jia Rong. Now not only King Zhongshun wants to send Xiong Da's head to Ningguo Mansion, but Emperor Xian De also hates Xiong Da.
For a moment, Xian De didn't know how to deal with Ning and Rong. Wang Ziteng was promoted here, but something happened there. If it is not handled well, what should the four kings and eight princes think in their hearts?
Second Duke Ning Rong was the founding hero of the country. Now outsiders think that the descendants of Second Duke Ning Rong have been insulted by the royal family. How should they view the royal family?
Emperor Xiande was extremely depressed and scolded Jia Rong again in his heart.
There is also the Supreme Emperor and the old concubine in the palace! Are they still not allowed to make decisions for the Jia family?
After a while, a junior eunuch came to report: "Jia Zheng, a member of the Ministry of Industry, wants to see you."
