With its eyes open, the gecko crawled motionless on the rockery rocks of the Wenfu Garden, and the patterns on its back were wet with raindrops falling from the rocks.

"Sir, ma'am, great... It's a big deal!" Steward Zhao carried the clothes that got in the way, stepped on the small puddle, and ran all the way into the compound.

This Steward Zhao is a distant confidant of Zhao Wanting, and was placed by Zhao Wanting in the Wenfu account room to replace Steward Wu to manage the accounts, and he is very valued by Zhao Wanting.

The steps of the compound had just rained, and there were still some moss sprouts from the spring on the steps.

Steward Wu stumbled, almost stepped on the slippery moss and fell, his clothes were soiled, he couldn't care so much, he was so anxious that his nose was red, and he ran forward with sweat on his head: "Master! Madam! Something is wrong!!

Zhao Wanting was lying on the couch in the front hall eating melon seeds, and when she heard the call, she took a sip of Pu'er tea, frowned and said, "This old Zhao is really, why is he so flustered." Raising her eyes to see Wen Shaoqing coming out of the study and walking to the front hall, Zhao Wanting immediately got up, stopped swallowing melon seeds, and stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master, I'm tired of reading official documents, I'll let the kitchen boil chicken soup, and you can drink some later." ”

Wen Shaoqing's eyes were just staring at the direction where Steward Zhao was coming, raised his hand to signal Zhao to shut up, lifted his clothes and sat down.

Zhao Wanting closed her mouth in amusement, turned around and sat down with a reluctant face, and bit the melon seeds hard, as if the melon seeds had an enmity with her.

Now Wen Shaoqing has already grown a beard, his eyes have calmed down a lot, he watched Steward Zhao scurry in all the way, frowned and asked, "Steward Zhao, what's the big deal?"

"Oh no, sir! Kyoto's Fang Taifu has openly insulted His Majesty the new emperor in the palace, and has already been sentenced to car splitting!! this is a big crime! The new emperor is furious, and together with all of Fang Taifu's protégés, he wants to punish Fang Taifu's ten clans! The soldiers sent by the imperial court have surrounded our mansion, saying that they are going to raid the house and behead it!" In the end, Steward Zhao's legs weakened, and he knelt in front of Wen Shaoqing, trembling violently.

"What!" Wen Shaoqing Huo Ran got up.

"Bang dang," the teacup in Zhao Wanting's hand was not stable, fell to the ground, and she got up in disbelief: "What did you say?

As soon as the words fell, the officers and soldiers wearing heavy armor and shiny weapons had already rushed into the mansion and entered the front hall in unison. The maids were so frightened that they escaped from the front hall.

"It's... This..."Panickedly looking around at the officers and soldiers around, Zhao Wanting said with a crying voice: "What are you doing!"

It was Lieutenant Sun who led the troops, and when he saw his tiger body shocked, his thick eyebrows raised, and he said in a loud voice: "Who is Wen Shaoqing here?"

Wen Shaoqing frowned, arched his sleeves and stepped forward: "Under Wen Shaoqing." ”

"Master, master!" Zhao Wanting cried, pounced, tugged at Wen Shaoqing's sleeve, and said to Lieutenant Sun in a trembling voice: "You! Why did you break into our Wen Mansion for no reason, and what do you want to do to my master!"

"Don't be rude! Wen Shaoqing scolded her in a low voice, and turned to Lieutenant Sun: "The women don't understand this, and I hope the adults will forgive me." I don't know what the adults are talking about?"

Wen Shaoqing's hand in his sleeve trembled slightly.

"According to the dictation of the emperor today, the minister Fang Xiaoru made disrespectful remarks, committed the following crimes, formed a party for personal gain, the party fought against differences, and the crime was unforgivable, so he was deposed and dismissed from his official position as an academician of Hanlin, and his father and four clans, his mother and three clans, his wife and two clans, and his protégé clan were all the party of the ministers, and they were punished according to the law! The criminal minister Wen Shaoqing and his clansmen, the men were all beheaded for public display, and the female dependents were punished as slaves, used as official prostitutes, and exiled to the border gates!"

"To be a slave... Official prostitute... Hearing this, Zhao Wanting repeated a few words in a trembling voice, her body tilted, and she fainted.

Wen Shaoqing's tears poured out suddenly, and he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Weichen... Wechen's eldest son is only seven years old, sir..."

Lieutenant Sun frowned, the saber beside him glowed with cold light, and said, "The military order is like a mountain, and every family is beheaded by people who are all over the house say so. If you want to blame it, blame your life for being like this! Come on, take it down for me!"

"Yes!"

The front hall of the Wen Mansion was already in chaos.

The maids and family members who had escaped before all rumored to each other that the officers and soldiers were going to raid the Wen family, and they were all over the house and fled for their lives.

Aunt Zheng, who was scrubbing her clothes by the well in the firewood room, got the news and was so shocked that she didn't even have time to pack the package, so she hurriedly pulled Wenya and Erya to escape through the back door.

Just about to run to the back door, only to hear the sound of swords and cries for help from the back door, Zheng Gu hurriedly covered Wen Ya and Erya's mouths with both hands and hid behind the rockery.

When I looked out, the back door was blocked, and the bodies of several maids were lying in pools of blood, placed under the swords of officers and soldiers.

The leading officers and soldiers yelled at a group of old mothers and maids who wanted to run out of the back door: "Be honest, don't blame us for not reminding you, those who run away and resist and do not comply with the order will be executed on the spot." ”

There are also so many officers and soldiers at the back door, let alone the front door.

Aunt Zheng was so frightened that her legs kept trembling. Wen Ya and Erya were covered by Aunt Zheng, and they were obediently silent, looking at each other. Erya's right eye was covered by a piece of white gauze, she was born with a pair of black and red eyes, and Aunt Zheng covered her right eye in order not to fall into her mouth.

These two little sisters are only ten years old now, but they are very sensible because of the things they have experienced.

Wen Ya raised her head, and her big black eyes like grapes looked at Aunt Zheng smartly.

In a panic, Zheng Gu remembered that there was a dry well in the abandoned courtyard where the Song family lived before.
