But how on earth was it done? After evacuating the General's Mansion in such a short period of time, how could it be possible that there was still time to run to the royal kitchen in the palace and bring some food?
Even coming back and forth is not enough time.
Wait, the palace...
"When did you go to the palace?"
"Just now, I did something big by the way."
"A big deal? Did you take action on the property in the palace?"
Xu Qiyue took a bite of the bun, nodded, and blinked at Xiao Beihan, looking very proud.
She was betting that if Xiao Beihan didn't regard her as a monster at this time, then she would go to the Southern Wilderness with him. If he couldn't accept it, then she could leave early. The things in the space were enough for her to live a very happy life. Moisturize.
Xiao Beihan suddenly laughed and gave Xu Qiyue a thumbs up, "Good job."
Fortunately, she won the bet. This major general is indeed extraordinary. She likes it.
She took another bite of the bun and started eating it happily.
Xiao Beihan found it hard to believe that in the rumors, the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who had been disliked since she was a child, was not raised crooked and could still have such a cute side.
After eating, the family waited quietly.
The Duke of Zhen, who had been in excitement all night, dressed up and left the house quickly when it was still dark. Even the housekeeper who had just discovered something was wrong in the house couldn't make it in time to report to him.
As soon as he arrived at the general's mansion, Duke Wen smiled evilly and shouted: "Come here, drive everyone into the courtyard."
So several Forbidden Soldiers walked toward the front hall fiercely and said to everyone in the Xiao family: "Let's go to the courtyard."
Shen Ning scolded angrily, "We can leave on our own, you don't need to rush us."
Xiao Xinyan followed Shen Ning and led out of the front hall, followed by several sisters-in-law and Xiao Haoling, followed closely by Xu Qiyue and Xiao Beihan.
The family stood in the yard, standing straight, without any fear in their eyes.
Duke Wen took a step forward and said, "General, I'm sorry, I am also following orders."
"Come here, search for me. Don't miss any place where you can hide your property."
"Yes." The steward divided into several small teams and walked to different parts of the general's mansion.
Half an hour later, people came back one after another.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing in the warehouse."
"Your Majesty, nothing was found in the granary."
"Your Majesty, nothing was found in the woman's boudoir."
"Your Excellency,..."
"..."
Duke Wen's face became darker and darker, and he was furious, "How dare you Xiao Beihan, you actually hid all the belongings at home? Where did you hide them? Why are they all missing?"
Xiao Beihan stepped forward very calmly and said in a solemn and powerful voice: "May I ask how long it has been since your Majesty has not paid salary to the General's Mansion? How long has it been since you have not paid military rations?"
Duke Wen couldn't tell, because he knew very well that it had indeed been a long time since he had posted this, and he was the one who came up with the idea.
"so what?"
"No, it's just that in order to replenish the military rations, the general's mansion has been emptied out a long time ago. He uses his own savings to support the army of a country. How much money do you have left?"
"Yesterday, I spent all the last money of the general's mansion on getting married. I had no money to pay for food, so I had to use all the remaining possessions to pay off debts. Why, isn't this enough?"
"Besides, the imperial army has surrounded the general so much that even a fly can't get out. How can we transport the things out? Or is it that the Duke deliberately let us out?"
When he said this, Xiao Beihan deliberately raised his voice, and the people outside were very excited when they heard it.
"That is, the General Mansion is so dedicated to the country and the people, how could it possibly collude with foreign enemies? It must be a mistake."
"Yes, there must be a mistake."
"..."
…
There were more and more voices from the common people, and Duke Wen was worried that he would not be able to put an end to the situation, so he did not dare to ask any more questions.
He yelled outside, "The imperial court has ordered officials to handle the case. You are all gathered here. Do whatever you want. Are you preparing to be exiled together?"
The people left the door reluctantly.
Xu Qiyue silently gave Xiao Beihan a thumbs up. Well done. She told lies one after another and blocked people to death. Such a partner fits her character very well. .
Everyone in the General's Mansion looked at Xiao Beihan in confusion.
Xiao Beihan responded with a reassuring smile.
Everyone understood instantly and chose to remain silent. Even little Haoling, who was less than six years old, stood quietly aside, but the slingshot in his hand was ready to work at any time.
The sister-in-law held his hand and shook her head gently, indicating not to act rashly. Xiao Haoling pouted and slowly put down the slingshot unwillingly.
It was because he coveted the money of the General's Mansion that Duke Wen was so excited.
I thought that confiscating the house would be a fat job, but I didn't know that the general's house was a pauper, and he couldn't even compare with ordinary people.
Duke Wen Guo had an angry look on his face, but looking at Xiao Beihan's sullen eyes, he couldn't say anything and could only temporarily suppress the unhappiness in his heart.
"Come here, let them all change their clothes, catch up with the large army, and set off to the southern wilderness."
Hearing this, several women came up, carrying a basket, and wanted to pull off the jewelry on the heads of the female relatives present.
Xiao Beihan stopped directly in front, "How dare you, who gave you the courage to humiliate my mother and sisters-in-law like this!"
"You are now guilty, so why should you not be humiliated?"
"ah……"
Before he finished speaking, Wen Guogong felt his tongue go numb. The pain made him stomp the ground and make him cry.
Everyone at the scene watched this sudden scene.
Only Xiao Beihan glanced at Xu Qiyue, who had been standing behind him and said nothing, because he felt the fluctuations in the air, but even he didn't know how Xu Qiyue did it.
Xu Qiyue glanced at Xiao Beihan, who turned to look at her, and slowly approached him, "His mouth is too smelly..."
Well, it was indeed too smelly. A slight smile appeared on Xiao Beihan's lips. This little gesture won his heart.
Crossing his arms with his chest, he stood up straighter.
Duke Wen, who had recovered, looked at everyone in the courtyard angrily, "Whoever dares to plot against my Duke, please stand up for me."
No one responded.
"Xiao Beihan, is it you?"
"Heh... Your Majesty, which eye of yours saw me move? My mother and sisters-in-law are weak women, and my wife is also very petite. It is impossible to hurt you from such a long distance. Don’t wrong a good person.”
