Chapter 235, the road ahead is unpredictable

When they came to the front yard, there was a burst of children's cries and soldiers' shouts and curses, and a large number of men, women, and children were driven together and weeping.

The masters of the Xie Mansion were concentrated on the other side, and the usually noble and dignified Mrs. Xie sat on the stone steps, pulling the eldest son of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Xie Jinwen, with her hair in a messy bun and her face like ashes, but she didn't cry or make trouble, and she was quite determined to withstand it.

Mingjing and Mingqing looked at all this indignantly and in horror, and suddenly looked at each other angrily, probably thinking that the other party was with the wrong person and caused the Xie Mansion to be raided. Lin Xinhui was the most embarrassed, her hair was scattered, her body was covered with dirt stains, her clothes were torn, probably someone else was going to take away her jewelry, she was pulled to the ground when she resisted without knowing the times, Ming and Qing are really inhumane, and at this time I don't know how to protect my children, let Lin Xinhui hold her daughter with one hand and hold her son with the other.

Aunt Qing cried mournfully with a big belly, as if she hated herself for not leaving early when she had the opportunity last time, and the rest of the concubines in the Ming and Qing dynasties and the four concubines in Ming Che were crying in shock and fear. The rest of the girls are still slaves, of course, they are locked up with the slaves, although the future is unpredictable, but they have been spared from prison like the aunt, and they are probably glad that they are not promoted to aunts now.

The flower bed water tank has been knocked down a lot, the carefully maintained precious flowers and trees have been trampled to the surface, and a large pile of collected goods and antique utensils are placed in the open space, and there are soldiers who carry the collected goods to add to it, and there are people next to them who are registering and making records.

Seeing Changsheng leading Jin Shu over, everyone was a little surprised, Mingjing had already understood her thoughts, he looked at Changsheng with gratitude and admiration, and secretly bowed to her to show his gratitude, Changsheng smiled faintly, and signaled him to rest assured with his eyes.

Mingjing soon found out that Aunt Tai was not there, so he was so shocked that he hurriedly asked, "Where is Auntie?" What about her? ”

The housekeeper stepped forward and replied: "Third master, rest assured, the aunt is still a slave, not a master, she is locked up with the slaves, and she will enter Beijing tomorrow." ”

Mingjing breathed a long sigh of relief, no matter what kind of result is better than going to prison, at least there is no worry about his life, he really didn't expect the old lady to suppress the aunt for so many years and refuse to settle the slave status, but the critical time helped her, seeing the old lady's face full of unwillingness and regret, he remembered the bitter love that his aunt had suffered under her over the years, and remembered that he tried his best to get her care but still couldn't get rid of his aunt's slavery, he glared at the old lady provocatively for the first time, and the two looked at each other angrily.

Ming Qing said loudly: "My lord, you have been fooled, where is she a slave?" She is a straightforward aunt, and the sons she gave birth to are all here, why can't she be considered the master? ”

Not only is Ming and Qing extremely angry, but Changsheng is also extremely angry, and the team leader still said expressionlessly: "Is it a slave or a master, you have to check the population book, not by mouth!" ”

Mingjing chuckled lightly and said loudly: "Although Aunt Tai is an aunt, she has never been freed from her slave status, and the adults will send someone to check the pile of deeds of sale!" ”

Ming Qing had nothing to do, and snorted fiercely, Changsheng looked at the disgusting face, remembered the evil deeds he had done to Zihu, and turned his head away in disgust. Ming Qing looked at Changsheng in surprise, he knew that Changsheng could leave completely unimplicated, a little strange why she was still here, and soon he figured it out, glared at Changsheng and Jinshu with jealousy and hatred and turned his head.

The person who probably ordered the raid was in a hurry to put the Xie family in prison, and the leader left a part of the guards Xie Mansion and the minions, and took the other soldiers to escort the master of the Xie family and left in a hurry with the stolen property, and suddenly the crying and shouting started again, and Changsheng tightly took Jinshu's hand and walked out with everyone.

The old lady pounced and knelt down to the leader: "The descendants are not good, the ancestors are not wrong, please don't destroy the ancestral hall and the ancestral tablet, if the old body is free, you will be blessed with a long life of the Lord Fulu and a hundred years old!" ”

Ming Qing and Ming Jing also cried bitterly and knelt down to intercede, the team leader ignored it at all, and strictly ordered to go quickly, a group of soldiers came up and waved their guns and scolded, the old lady was helpless, and led everyone to kneel down and kowtow three times in the direction of the family ancestral hall and the ancestral hall, crying goodbye and leaving, and couldn't help but remind Changsheng of a poem by Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty: The most hasty resignation on the temple day, tears to Gong'e.

The Xie family treated the slaves more leniently, and a bunch of house slaves also cried bitterly, kneeling down and kowtowing to the masters to say goodbye, among them, there are also Ming Qing and Ming Jing Tongfang girls, if it is really confirmed that the crime of rebellion is real, life and death are unpredictable, and there may be no day to see each other again.

Although all this had little to do with Changsheng, she vaguely heard Zihu shouting: "Girl, you and the eldest lady must take care!" We are waiting for you! As soon as I looked back and saw the girls in Jinshu Courtyard tearfully watching them wave their hands, tears fell like rain, she turned around and waved her hand and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so she quickly turned around and left, and another gust of wind blew to disperse some of the heat, and the clouds on the horizon were thicker, I was afraid that it was going to rain.

Although the soldiers drove them away, they were still surrounded by people watching the excitement, and the movement of the crowd became louder when they saw them come out, sympathy, contempt, sighing, hugging, clapping, and gloating, and three prisoner carts with wooden fences were waiting outside.

In the shouts of the soldiers and the discussion of the people, the Xie family was driven to the car, regardless of men, women and children, all rushed up, and those who moved slowly were inevitably poked around by the barrel of the gun.

Changsheng didn't want to be scolded by the soldiers, let alone poked around by the barrel of the gun, and was afraid that Jinshu would be squeezed, so he struggled to carry her to the prisoner car, but he couldn't get on, suddenly his body was light, Mingjing, who had already gotten into the car, pulled Jinshu up, and then stretched out his hand to her firmly, Changsheng's heart warmed, although the road ahead was very hard, fortunately, she was not alone, she stretched out her hand generously and let him pull the car.

Mingjing no longer avoided any suspicion, and didn't pay attention to other people, found a relatively comfortable corner, pulled her and Jinshu to sit down face to face with them, separated them from everyone with her own body, and then began to comfort and coax Jinshu.

The extremely noble Xie family stuffed three carts, let people shout and mock, Sven had no dignity, all the soldiers turned over and got on their horses, the crowd got out of the way, and rushed towards the capital, crying again for a while.

The vermilion copper buckle gate of the Xie Mansion is getting farther and farther away, and the Xie family, which is rich and noble, and Zhong Ming Ding eats, is it instantly dilapidated, falling from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, will the carved beams and paintings and the jade ladder Qionglou change hands or will they be sealed and gradually dilapidated into unrecognizable broken wells?

The place where Jin Shu was born and raised, the traces of her sister's life and her well-preserved relics will definitely be trampled on, and I am afraid that I will not be able to see them again in the future.

The most terrifying thing is that I don't know what happened in the capital at all, I don't know what Mingche's situation is now, maybe going to prison is just the beginning, and then I will sit through the prison or behead or even punish the nine clans? Looking at Jin Shu's little face that was still crying under Mingjing's comfort, Changsheng's heart ached, could it be that she had to face life and death at such a young age? She held her hand tightly and prayed secretly: Sister is safe, bless Shu'er safely!
