"Madam, get in the carriage."
Everyone walked out of the inner yard and looked at the carriage parked outside. They also hurriedly helped Aunt Xue get into the carriage and went to sit inside.
Aunt Xue sat on the carriage, looked at the child in her arms, and said with a smile: "This time I can finally go home."
I had already thought of an excuse for going home this time, so I just said that the child was a wild child. I don’t know whose child left it at the door of the yard and was picked up by Aunt Xue.
Because Aunt Xue was kind, adopting this orphan in front of her could be regarded as atonement for Xue Pan's incident.
Or it could be said that God's will gave Aunt Xue another chance to change her ways.
In other words, it gives the Xue family a chance to continue the family lineage.
In ancient society, if the mistress had no children, she would choose a son to adopt as her, and then let this adopted son take care of her until she died.
It is not because there are no children at the knees that there will be no incense and incense to offer sacrifices after death.
At this time, Aunt Xue also murmured in her heart, saying: "I have been away from this house for several months, and I don't know what is going on at home."
Since Aunt Xue left Yun Mansion, she has not received any news from the outside world.
Food, clothing, etc. were all delivered on time by someone arranged by Jia Yun.
However, these people kept secrets, did not say anything, just did their own thing, sent things over, and left immediately.
Therefore, even if Aunt Xue often wants to find out what happened at home recently, there is nothing she can do.
If it weren't for the maid Baozhu beside her to chat with her, I'm afraid this life would be really difficult.
Aunt Xue took a look at the scenery outside, looked at the bleak scenery here, and said, "What's happened in the past few months? Why are there so many fewer people!"
In the year of famine, there was another war, and the two negative BUFFs made it impossible for the people at the bottom to live their lives.
Even in the peaceful and prosperous times, due to the feudal economics of thirty-three taels of silver, the lives of the people at the bottom were already miserable.
Now they are even more impoverished, with no way to survive at all.
The poor people who had no way to survive either starved to death or went to rebellion and became bandits.
Especially in Ping'an Prefecture around the capital, bandits are rampant, reaching a level of lawlessness.
These bandits did not hold the banner of rebellion and directly rebelled, but they went crazy.
Due to the incompetence of the officials, the local government could only guard the area near the county government office. As for the countryside outside the county government office, it was powerless.
The situation in various places has become increasingly troublesome and has fallen into a state of complete corruption.
The outside world is no longer safe, so Jia Yuncai must quickly bring Aunt Xue back.
Only by protecting Aunt Xue in Yun Mansion can Jia Yun feel at ease.
And what Aunt Xue saw and heard along the way was the scene of hell on earth, which made Aunt Xue feel infinite compassion in her heart. She couldn't help but sigh: "Life has become more and more difficult these years, I'm afraid. If this court continues like this, sooner or later it will fall into chaos."
Aunt Xue is not an ignorant boudoir woman. She has nothing to do these days. Jia Yun also ordered people to send a lot of books for Aunt Xue to read and kill the boring time. .bμν.
Aunt Xue was able to sit still, and she gained a lot of knowledge and insight during these days.
She looked at the world outside the carriage, it was so miserable!
An emaciated old woman begging along the street sat beside the road, making weak sounds from her mouth.
Whenever someone was passing by on the roadside, she would hurriedly hold a walking stick in her hand and a broken bowl with a hole in it. As she walked, she shouted: "Master, please do me a favor and give me a bite to eat." Come on! I'm going to starve to death, so just take pity on me, an old woman!"
There are also some local gangsters who rob people on the roadside.
, chaos arose, killings and arson.
A strong local ruffian was robbing passers-by on the street. He yelled angrily, "Get you! Let go. If you don't let go, I'll kill you."
For a moment, I lost all face.
As for Aunt Xue's carriage, it naturally attracted everyone's attention. However, the people who came to protect this time were all armed with fierce weapons. They were all tall and tall, giving people a sense of shrewdness and fierceness. I know that these people must be serious and cannot be messed with.
Not to mention these ordinary people, even if groups of bandits and bandits come to kill them, they may not be able to defeat these people.
These people are the elite members of his direct lineage secretly trained by Jia Yun. Each one of them is a military master who is as good as ten. Not to mention their martial arts skills, they are all loyal. They are his personal guards.
Without such thunderous means and secret troops, how could he dare to let Aunt Xue come back rashly?
Along the way, everyone around them moved out of the way and did not dare to approach the area.
They are really scared.
Who is not greedy for life and afraid of death?
After a while, everyone arrived at the city gate and met the city defenders who were questioning the people at the city gate.
These city-defending officers and soldiers stopped pedestrians, searched for oil and water from these people, and looted these people.
If you want to enter the capital, you must leave money to buy the way.
In troubled times, officers and soldiers are more vicious and cruel than those bandits.
The officers and soldiers looked at the carriage and the group of people walking this way, their expressions changed slightly, and they stretched out their hands to stop them: "Who are you?"
The person walking at the front slapped the man directly, and then took out the badge in his hand and said: "You dare to stop the Jin Yiwei from handling the case. Don't you want to live? Get out of here." If it delays your uncle's affairs, be careful with your head."
The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were immediately stunned and moved out of the way, not daring to argue with these people.
Behead first and report later, royal authority has granted permission.
If you offend Jin Yiwei, you will lose your head tonight.
Jinyiwei is a violent organization in the dark world, with no morality or righteousness at all.
Therefore, in the eyes of these ordinary people, they would rather offend the Living King of Hell than the Imperial Guards.
After these people went inside, they slowly went to Yun Mansion.
On the Yun Mansion side, Jia Yun also found Xue Baochai and said, "I ordered people to leave the city today. The world has been in chaos recently and war is about to start again. It is not safe for her to be outside alone, so we have to pick her up." Coming back is the safest thing. As for the matter of Tanchun, I have sent people out to negotiate. As long as you are willing to pay, you can redeem it. However, it is far away from overseas, and it will take a few more We won’t be able to get the news until months later.”
