After Master Wu dealt with one batch, a second batch came not long after, and this time there were obviously more people, and the attacks were more ruthless.
The fight between the two sides didn't last long. Two guards on Master Wu's side were injured, and a servant died.
Xie Rongzhao also knew that this was not the time to back down, and said loudly: "Let's all work together to defend the Cheng Mansion! No matter whether you are dead or injured, alive or disabled today, I, Xie Rongzhao, will be rewarded heavily! I promise to provide for you until the end of your life, and for you The family members will provide a stable job so that your children can have the opportunity to study."
The last sentence is really exciting.
Sure enough, the big guy is braver.
However, the other party was approaching fiercely, and it seemed that the door would no longer be able to be defended.
All the elites are fighting against the thieves. If they cannot hold on, all the female relatives in the house will face a disaster.
"Uh-huh!"
After the door was hit twice more, the sound of horse hooves seemed to be heard outside the door again. After a while, the killing shouts outside had disappeared.
Master Wu dropped from the wall: "Master, Madam, it's Captain Xie who's here."
Xie Rongzhao was overjoyed. Now that the fourth brother is here, they will be safe here.
"Is everything okay, my dear?"
"Fourth brother, I'm fine, fine. Thank you for coming in time."
After Xie Rongen came in, he first saw that everyone was okay, and then left thirty soldiers to garrison here.
"I'm going to Xie's Mansion. You can live in the Mansion. Don't go out."
"I understand. Fourth brother should also be careful."
Xie Rongzhao only took a cursory glance. Xie Rongen probably brought more than 200 soldiers, but he didn't know if they could fight against the thieves outside the gate of Xie's mansion.
That night, the killing cries almost never stopped.
It wasn't until dawn that the capital became quiet.
As Xie Xiuwen and Cheng Jingzhou returned home, they learned that King Fu had rebelled last night and was killed by King An on the spot. King An also wanted to threaten the throne, so he was placed under house arrest in the palace by the emperor's decree. all his rights.
As a result, the situation has gradually become clearer.
Zhou Ge Lao committed suicide before dawn to apologize, but the Holy Emperor did not let his family go. Those who deserved were exiled, and those who deserved beheaded were beheaded.
Mr. Zheng Ge was slow to respond this time and almost made a big mistake. After being reprimanded by the emperor, he was ordered to go home and reflect on himself.
One after another decrees came out of the palace, and only then did Xie Rongzhao know that some families failed to guard their doors last night, and everyone in the family, including the young and old, were captured by King Fu, and were then taken to the palace to force the officials to support him.
Of course, there were not many injuries among these family members, and most of them were fine. However, Wang Qin'er was injured, and Dong Yan's mother, Wang Qin'er's mother, was stabbed through the chest with a sword on the spot.
After this incident, there will definitely be a reward from the Holy Emperor, but Ding You will not be able to escape for three years.
When things got to this point, the ministers and dignitaries who had been attached to King Fu were naturally trembling with fear.
They were afraid that the Holy One would think of them and punish them again.
Fortunately, three days after the incident, the emperor only ordered Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to jointly investigate the case.
This investigation doesn't matter, some people will bite out a lot of accomplices in order to protect themselves, and this one brought Zhao Jiajun in.
Zhao Jiajun was still in class in the academy when suddenly an official came to take him away. Naturally, he was unwilling, but no matter how much he made a fuss, it was of no use.
Apart from him, more than twenty teachers and students from Baihe Academy were taken away one after another.
It is said that he is asked to cooperate with the investigation, but it is not yet known whether he will be able to come out safely in the end.
This matter involves rebellion, who is brave enough to get involved?
It was only after Zhao Jiajun was imprisoned that he found out that he had been spit out by his husband, whom he trusted a lot.
Now, the cell was bustling.
The case was very involved, and King Fu had intended to enhance his reputation among the people, so he bribed many literati.
Now these people have basically been arrested. They will be released only after verifying them one by one and confirming that they have nothing to do with the rebellion case.
As for Zhao Jiajun, although he had no knowledge of the rebellion, he had praised King Fu's achievements several times and had the audacity to call him the Son of Destiny. This had obviously touched the emperor's inverse scale.
And because Zhao Jiajun was arrested, the place where Wang Ximeng and the others rented was also raided by officials.
They say they are here to search for evidence of rebellion, but these little brats below are not particular about what they do.
At this time, Xie Qing was unwilling to come over, for fear of making himself embarrassed again.
Therefore, some of Wang Ximeng's privately hidden coins were rummaged out.
Wang Ximeng cried and wanted to take it back, but was thrown aside by the officer.
Even if there were domestic servants to help, they would not dare to confront the officials.
Hehua was immediately frightened.
She never thought that one day she would become the concubine of a criminal.
How will you live your life after this?
After the official came once, he did not come again. After all, Shangguan also knew that Zhao Jiajun had no power. At most, he was just a scholar, and he said the wrong thing and did the wrong thing.
However, the trial of the case was a bit slow, so for more than 20 days after Zhao Jiajun was detained, the government still did not allow family members to visit him.
Wang Ximeng never thought about spending money on such a small job. She has always been selfish. Knowing that this incident has completely angered the emperor, it is a question whether Zhao Jiajun can keep his reputation, let alone think about it. Let’s take the Juren exam again.
Fortunately, Wang Ximeng was glad that he still had money in his hand. Although it was not much, it could at least allow him to return to the countryside and live a stable life.
Wang Ximeng was still thinking about a pair of children, but He Hua, a childless concubine, Wang Ximeng already had a plan in mind.
He Hua is from the capital. At first, Wang Ximeng was not willing to let her marry in, so he deliberately refused to get concubinage documents for her on the grounds of household registration. It was not until last year that Wang Ximeng decided to take good care of He Hua, so he sent someone back to Gaoyang County. Come back and get the serious concubinage documents.
Concubines were bought and sold, and now the concubine document was in Wang Ximeng's hands. She just wanted to sell the lotus, and she asked for it.
Of course, Wang Ximeng would not really sell her.
From now on, there will be a lot of work at home, and she can always do some embroidery work to supplement the family income. This is equivalent to finding a slave who can make money for the family.
After Wang Ximeng experienced this, he did not rush to sell slaves again, but everything continued as usual.
It's just that the food for the three meals a day was a bit different. Hehua even had a meal of whole grains, not to mention meat, not even a star of oil could be seen.
Now that things have come to this, Hehua doesn't dare to make a fuss. She doesn't even know where she lives now. Even if she runs away, where can she find her home?
Hehua really regretted it this time. She shouldn't have been greedy for Zhao Jiajun's wealth in the first place, but she ended up like this!
