Zhang Shiming held his chest with dull pain and half sat up with the help of his subordinates. The small movement almost exhausted all his strength.
His eyelids twitched when he saw the panicked look of the searcher.
He didn't even care about the severe pain in his body, and his expression suddenly changed: "Ahem...what's going on!"
"Deputy Commander, the general's warehouse is empty, the warehouse is empty, all the rooms are empty, not to mention gold, there is not even a copper plate in it!"
Zhang Shiming stared.
What?
empty? ! !
"puff--"
Thinking of the emperor's special summons to him before departure, Zhang Shiming suddenly became anxious and a mouthful of blood spurted out. He rolled his eyes and fainted completely.
The last thought before losing consciousness was: It's over!
Upon hearing the news that the General's Mansion was empty, several ladies of the Lu family looked at each other, unable to conceal their shock.
what happened? Weren't they in good shape when they first went out? It took less than half a stick of incense to burn, how could it be empty?
But looking at the expressions of those forbidden soldiers, it didn't look like they were being fake.
The General's Mansion is really empty!
When they realized this, the Lu family was shocked and delighted. What surprised them was that there was such a powerful person in the world who could evacuate the general's mansion in less than half a stick of incense!
Fortunately, the Lu family's belongings don't have to fall into the hands of these Xiaoxiao. Even if they are stolen, it is better than being confiscated.
I don’t know what kind of person the person who emptied the general’s mansion was?
The General's Mansion was completely surrounded, Zhang Shiming was quickly carried away, and everyone in the Lu family was put in shackles and taken into prison by the Imperial Army.
The warden didn't show any kindness to the Lu family. He just locked them all in a small cell, threw away a few sets of thin prison uniforms and ordered them to change into them.
"mother……"
The ladies of the Lu family all looked towards Mrs. Lu. They had encountered a big change, and they were filled with hesitation about the future.
Mrs. Lu's expression was calm, and even though she was in prison, she did not show a trace of panic, which made the anxious people feel more at ease.
"Put it on. Wear your middle coat. The emperor must be so kind and won't leave us even this bit of dignity."
There was a bit of sarcasm in his voice.
Mrs. Lu took the lead and took off her brocade-furred cloak and dark blue thick coat with auspicious cloud patterns with the help of Mrs. Lu.
"Get rid of all the valuable things on your body. As the Lu family, we have to fight for our lives. Since we are not allowed to take them, we will not take them with us, lest they be found out later and embarrass the Lu family."
As soon as Song Mingyuan entered the cell, he randomly found a corner to practice his spiritual power. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but look slightly sideways.
Mrs. Lu was speaking grandly, while secretly stuffing her jade ring into her hair bag.
Song Mingyuan: "..."
She asked how Mrs. Lu could be someone who wanted to save face and suffer.
If you really pretend to be noble, you won't be able to raise a few brave and capable sons.
Turning around, I saw that several other ladies were following the same example and covering each other.
"Mom is right, our Lu family behaves upright and we don't bother to do such sneaky things!"
"We took off all the hairpins on our heads, as well as the earrings. The general's mansion is in such a state of poverty that wearing these things is not appropriate and will make people laugh."
They took out the jewelry that could be seen with the naked eye and stacked it with the clothes. They hid the invisible jewelry such as bracelets, necklaces and jade pendants.
Some were hidden in the hair, some were hidden in the soles of shoes, and some were so obvious that they were hidden in the cracks in the cell walls, not even through mouse holes.
They have no space for them to access at any time, so they can only rely on their own cleverness to hide it.
The journey of exile is difficult and the future is uncertain. No one knows what will happen. If you can hide more things, hide as much as you can. Otherwise, when you need to use them, you will only be able to make the sky and the earth inoperable.
Lu Pei'an and the others were a little scared at first, but when they saw the actions of their uncle and aunt, they no longer cared about their fear. They hurriedly sniffed and took off their accessories to find a place to hide them.
Song Mingyuan didn't wear any accessories, so she put on prison clothes after trying to fool her.
The bones of this body were extremely poor, and the thin prison clothes could not withstand the severe cold coming from all directions. As soon as the thick coat and skirt were taken off, he shivered from the cold.
Cold, so cold!
Mrs. Lu was also cold, but she was just holding on. Seeing her like this made her feel distressed and funny at the same time.
"You kid, there is obviously a better way, why do you have to endure hardships with us? Everyone in our Lu family is avoiding you now, but you are so bold and insist on trying to get there, you really don't know what to say about you. "
She didn't owe the Lu family anything, but now she was being dragged down by the Lu family. Mrs. Lu couldn't help but feel a little more pity in her heart.
"Please come closer to this side. There is a wind outlet over there. What's the point of being alone in one place? Doesn't it seem like the old lady is the kind of person who is unreasonable and likes to make things difficult for others?"
"Since you have followed the Lu family, you will become a member of my Lu family in the future. No matter how you entered the house, our family will only recognize you as our granddaughter-in-law. As for Song Mingyan and Xu Mingyan, you don't have to worry about it. Let’s ignore her.”
Mrs. Lu wasn't even that upset when the Song family just broke off the relationship, but he just did it like this without even saying hello. It's all disgusting!
Mrs. Lu didn't have a good impression of Song Panshan's family of three.
"Your aunts are all easy to get along with. Things happened suddenly today, and I didn't have a chance to ask you to recognize me. Come, grandma will introduce you to me. From now on, we will be a family."
Not to mention, Song Mingyuan, the wives of the Lu family, really didn't know which one was which. She could only vaguely tell from her face that the one with facial features somewhat similar to Lu Peifeng was Mrs. Lu.
She did not reject Mrs. Lu's kindness. After all, she had to travel with others on the road to exile, so she couldn't not know who they were.
Mrs. Lu had five sons and one daughter, all of whom were married. The four children who were having a wedding that day were the children of the second Mrs. Lu, the third Mrs. Lu, and the fourth Mrs. Lu.
The eldest one is called Lu Peiqing, who is seven years old, and the youngest one is called Lu Sining, who is only five and a half years old. They are both the children of Mrs. Lu.
The other two are named Lu Peiyuan and Lu Pei'an, who are the sons of Mrs. Lu Third and Mrs. Lu Fourth.
As for Mrs. Lu Wu, she had not given birth to a son or a daughter for seven years after marrying into the Lu family.
Lu Peifeng also has a younger brother, Xu who followed his grandfather Ning Guogong. Lu Peichuan does not like to wield swords and guns, and prefers writing and writing. Three years ago, he was sent to his retired friend by Ning Guogong to listen to him. Went to give lectures.
"You came in at the wrong time. The Lu family is in such a state now, and we don't have any good meeting gifts for you. It would be better if it were earlier." Mrs. Lu held her hand and sighed.
Mrs. Lu Er smiled sadly: "We have prepared gifts for you. If you were not caught, this would be a happy and lively time."
Mrs. Lu San sat on the ground with no image except for her gorgeous clothes, as if she had unlocked some kind of seal.
"I don't know who the righteous man was who evacuated our general's mansion. If he knew that his house was confiscated and everything was empty, would he be so angry?"
Mrs. Lu Wu snorted coldly: "It's just right to be so angry."
Mrs. Lu San wanted to curse the Dog Emperor a few more times, but she fell silent when she saw the jailer opening the door.
