"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict that the war king Nangong Yunteng had secretly communicated with foreign enemies and intended to commit treason while he was serving as the general of the army. Now it has been found out, and my heart is very sad. I think of the Nangong family, who have been loyal for generations and have made great military achievements, so that they can avoid the death penalty of their clan. , the Nangong clan was demoted to common people, their property was confiscated, and they were exiled three thousand miles south of Lingnan. They were not allowed to return to the capital for life without being called..." Su Niyue really wanted to bury this old eunuch and the dog emperor!
The old lady is the only first-class lady in the Dayun Kingdom. The dragon-headed crutch in her hand was a gift from the late emperor, so there is no need to kneel down. Her body swayed, and she relied on the support of crutches to prevent her from falling, but she looked much older in an instant. Ruan Mingyu's face was pale and her body was shaking slightly. Even the warm sunshine in June made her feel cold all over. Su Niyue half-crouched in the crowd, lowering her head, trying to lower her presence as much as possible, for fear of being seen not kneeling.
After reading out the imperial edict, the Imperial Guards held long spears and surrounded everyone in the Nangong family with fierce eyes. A woman screamed and was about to cry when she saw a tall military general wearing armor yelling angrily: "Shut up. Mouth, what are you howling?" The woman shuddered in fright and swallowed back the cry that was about to come out.
Su Niyue recalled the plot. In the original work, the ones who were sent to ransack the house were supposed to be the Jinwu Guards of the Dog Emperor, but those who came today were clearly the Forbidden Army. Is it because she emptied the palace last night? The story line is a bit distorted?
"Somebody come!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Start searching! Look inside and outside carefully! All property will be confiscated!" Yang Cheng, the commander of the Forbidden Army, waved his hand and his men dispersed towards various courtyards.
Su Niyue rolled her eyes: "Yunqi, go find a cart, your eldest brother can't walk yet!"
"It's sister-in-law!"
"Don't leave!" The Forbidden Army saw the two men about to leave and slashed their swords.
"Master, my husband-in-law is seriously injured and unconscious. We need to find a cart to push him away. Otherwise, we are all weak women. Who can carry him? It will delay the trip, but it is not you." I can handle it!"
Yang Cheng looked at Su Niyue with disdain and said two words: "No!"
"General, the imperial edict says that our Nangong clan will only be demoted to common people, not prisoners. Besides, the emperor loves his people like his own sons, and he certainly doesn't want Nangong Yunteng to die before he even leaves the capital. General..." Su Ni Yue looked at him with an open face, leaving some room for his imagination.
Yang Cheng, the commander of the imperial army, pondered for a moment. Yes, the emperor obviously did not want Nangong Yunteng to die too quickly. If he died in his hands, the emperor would definitely blame him for his incompetence in doing things. Then he waved his hand and motioned for the two soldiers around him to follow him.
Su Niyue thanked her and took Nangong Yunqi to the backyard to find a cart. Nangong Yunqi didn't wait for Su Niyue's instructions and took the initiative to push the cart. At first, it was not easy to operate, but after leaving After a while, you can already master the balance.
Several people returned to Nangong Yunteng's courtyard. By this time, the imperial army had already searched the place. The rooms in the courtyard were in a mess. Su Niyue frowned, with anger in her eyes. Fortunately, she had already taken revenge on the Dog Emperor in advance. Otherwise, this I have to run away in a while.
"Yunqi, go get some quilts. The cart is too hard and your brother will be uncomfortable."
"Yes!" Yun Qi turned around and left. He quickly picked up a pile of quilts from the side room and spread them on the cart. He also carefully took an oil-paper umbrella.
Su Niyue looked at the sensible Yun Qi and nodded in appreciation. Nangong Yunqi pursed his lips tightly and his eyes were slightly red. He wished he could bear this on his brother's behalf.
"Let's go! Help my sister-in-law carry your brother out!"
"Um!"
The two of them held the corner of the mattress and gently placed Nangong Yunteng on the cart. Su Niyue took away the thin quilt covering Nangong Yunteng. It would be sunny now, so he could bask in the sun and look at Nangong Yunteng. Injury has its own benefits, as it will let the onlookers see how ruthless the Dog Emperor is.
"Yun Qi, from now on, your eldest brother will be in your hands. If he has any movement, you must tell me immediately. I'm worried that he will get fever. Also, no one can get close to him, you know! "
"Yes! Sister-in-law, don't worry!" Nangong Yunqi nodded solemnly. He knew that his sister-in-law must have a reason for saying that.
Su Niyue and Nangong Yunqi pushed the trolley to the front yard. They saw that all the hairpins and jewelry on the female family members were gone. There were several boxes on the ground containing some worthless things, as well as vases given by the emperor. Su Niyue looked at it and saw that it was written on it as a gift from the emperor, which meant 'not valuable'. It is a serious sin to buy and sell royal gifts. Things that cannot be converted into cash are worthless in Su Niyue's eyes.
Yang Cheng stood at the door of the front hall with an angry look on his face: "Search again! Look carefully, secret rooms, basements and so on!" There is no way, I can't find anything, I can't pay the job when I go back, but it's okay, I'm going to the capital Not only was Prince Zhan's palace looted, but the emperor probably wouldn't convict them of deceiving the emperor.
Su Niyue understood that maybe they discovered that there was nothing in the warehouse.
"Mrs. Nangong, when was the house stolen?" Yang Cheng knew without asking that they must not know about it, but with so many people watching, it is always unreasonable not to ask anything. Failure to follow the procedures that should be followed is cheating for personal gain.
"Stolen? Never stolen?" Ruan Mingyu's face was ashen and her eyes were empty. She had no brain to think about these things now.
"Nangong Su Clan!" Yang Cheng shouted angrily, raising his voice deliberately.
"Ah?" Su Niyue looked at Yang Cheng with confusion on her face.
"Why is there nothing in the warehouse of your house?"
"Empty, nothing? How is that possible?"
Yang Cheng saw that the shocked look on Su Niyue's face didn't look fake: "Yes, the warehouse and the private treasury of each hospital are empty!"
"I don't know. I just got married yesterday. Maybe they gave me a betrothal gift? That shouldn't be the case. Even if the War King's property is used to support the front line, it's impossible that the warehouse in the mansion is empty? My dowry was given yesterday. We also moved into the palace's warehouse, what? Are they all gone?" Su Niyue looked confused and joked. She had learned it long ago after watching countless TV series in her previous life.
When Yang Cheng saw it, he felt that they might really not know. The news of confiscation and exile was only announced this morning. It was impossible for them to know. Moreover, most of the dignitaries in Shangjing City had been looted. It seemed that Prince Zhan's Mansion had not been robbed either. survived.
Yang Cheng took another look at Su Niyue and saw that she only had a wooden hairpin on her head. Her face was plain and she was wearing the clothes of an ordinary lady, so he didn't embarrass her. Thinking of an abandoned child, she would never go anywhere. Being taken seriously meant that she understood her dress, but in fact, Su Niyue had already planned it.
Soon the housekeeper, nanny, maid, and boy were taken away by a group of forbidden troops and must have been sold!
The Nangong family was put in chains amidst low sobbing.
