Chapter 0513: Jiafu's Armed Blockade
As soon as a few people from Chang'an arrived at Ningrong Street, they saw that there was chaos here.
The streets were full of people, some who seemed to have fled, and many more who were rushing forward. A team of brocade-clothed troops were also hurrying forward.
A few carriages came from the front, and the carts were full of the corpses of the Jinyi Army. The people on the street looked anxious and talked a lot.
"What's going on? Go ask about it. ”
Chang'an did not get off the horse, Lichun rode forward, asked a few people on the road, did not stop, and went to the front again.
Lichun didn't come back, so Zuo Linliang inquired with the person next to him, and his face changed greatly in an instant.
"Your Highness, it's not good, the Jinyi Army came to raid Jiafu and fought with the people of Jiafu."
"It's a fight, how can it be?"
Chang'an's head buzzed.
"Let's go and have a look."
"Your Highness......."
"Don't be verbose, go."
Chang'an said, and he took the horse first. There were many pedestrians on the road, so Chang'an picked up the horsewhip and whipped it indiscriminately, and the pedestrians dodged one after another.
After walking a short distance, Lichun returned.
"Your Highness, it's not good, the Jinyi Army came to raid Jiafu and fought with the people of Jiafu."
"Who else in Jiafu dares to fight with the Jinyi Army?"
"Jia Lian, Jia Qiang and other forty or fifty people, as well as Shi Liu, Shi Song and more than twenty of them, are all in front of the gate of Jiafu, and the Jinyi army has been killed seventy or eighty people, and there are corpses all over the ground."
Right here, there was another clattering sound ahead.
"The people of Jiafu used firearms?"
"Yes. A chain of guns was erected at the door. ”
"Who is here in the Jinyi Army?"
"Commander Sun Tongren."
"Let's go, let's go."
The three of them arrived not far from Jiafu, which was already surrounded by a Jinyi army, with hundreds of people, all with bows and arrows, and they were on guard.
Seeing Chang'an coming, they all got out of the way and let her pass.
When he arrived at the front, although he was already prepared in his heart, Chang'an was still surprised.
I saw that in front of the gate of Jiafu opposite, Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, Shi Song, Shi Liu, etc., all holding long guns. Behind a few sacks in the middle of the gate, there was a chain of guns.
Chang'an has seen the chain of guns of the Fu Corps many times in Bukui, and has also seen its power in the battle to recover Southern Wendula.
However, this serial gun seems to be different from the past. It's a lot smaller than it seems.
Chang'an was about to call Sun Tongren over, when he saw a burst of bows and arrows from the Jinyi army, and the arrows like rain floated through the air, just like flying in the direction of Jiafu.
However, it seems that the range is not enough, and it does not pose any threat to the other party, so they land one after another.
Then, the Jinyi army launched a charge, and fifty or sixty people shouted and rushed forward.
At their feet, dozens of corpses were already lying, and these people stepped on the corpses of their companions.
Rushing to the middle, the chain of guns on the opposite side rang out, and the long guns in the hands of the people of Jiafu also began to shoot.
The sound of da-da, it seems to be very light. With the sound of gunshots, the Jinyi Army fell down one by one.
The remaining ten or so people ran back, and before they could reach the place, they were shot one by one and fell to the ground, forty or fifty people, and none of them came back alive.
"Fool, don't you send you to death in vain if you charge like this, and ask Sun Tongren to come to see me."
Chang'an was a little angry.
In a moment, Sun Tongren was sweating profusely and panting.
"Meet Your Highness."
"Sun Tongren, let me ask you, why is this so?"
"The Jia family rebelled."
"Why did you rebel?"
"Your Royal Highness, I came to raid the Jia family by order, and just took down that Qin Keqing, and was about to take someone else, this gang of bandits came and beat us out of the Jia Mansion, and they killed more than 20 people inside, and they transferred people to reinforce them, I never thought that they would even use a series of guns, and at this moment, more than 100 people were killed."
"Why did you come to raid Jia's house?"
"The Holy Purpose is here, Your Highness, please take a look."
When Chang'an received the decree, he saw a series of crimes listed above.
There are three main ones.
The first is to privately hide Qin Keqing, the daughter of Prince Chengyi, who abolished the king. The second is to privately hide Miaoyu, the daughter of the abolished king Mu Ying, and the third is to hide property for the Zhen family.
In addition, Jia pardoned foreign officials and smuggled pig iron. Jia Zhengqiang robbed people's daughters, causing deaths, summoned the children of the family to gather to gamble, and Wang Xifeng secretly released Yinzi money to make illegal profits.
"Are these things true?"
"Everything is true, and they themselves admit it."
"Sun Tongren, don't attack for the time being, I'll talk to them."
"Your Highness, you must not go deep into the dangerous place, I have sent people to fetch the red-clothed cannons, and they will be wiped out by then."
"Sun Tongren, is Jia Min here?"
"No, Your Highness is ......."
Sun Tongren hesitated.
"If Jia Min comes back in the future, how will you end up? Although his army was disbanded, most of those people now went to Beihai and reunited under his command. Do you think today's firearms are still the same as the ones you saw back then? ”
"It's different, it's much more powerful?"
"Today, we may be able to wipe out Jiafu, but what about the others? Have you killed them all? ”
"But the Holy One ...... there."
"I'll take care of everything, don't worry, they won't do anything to me. Lichun, go and tell Jia Lian that I want to go over and talk to them. ”
Lichun unloaded all the weapons on his body, raised his hands high, and walked over. After saying a few words to Jia Lian, Jia Lian brought her to the old lady.
At this time, in the center of the door, there was a large chair, and the old lady sat in the chair, surrounded by eight maids such as mandarin ducks and amber.
"Old Ancestor, His Royal Highness Chang'an wants to come and talk to you."
"I heard that this Chang'an is still an understanding person, Brother Lian, just call her over, I'll listen to what she has to say."
Lichun went back, and the old lady smiled and spoke.
"Mandarin ducks and amber, are you afraid?"
"Ancestor, you are not afraid, and we are not afraid."
The mandarin duck straightened up, and his words were trembling.
"Silly girl, if you're afraid, you're afraid, and there's nothing to be ashamed of. It's okay, it's a big deal, let's go together, so that you don't have to stay here and others bully you. Don't worry, if we die, Brother Min will come back to avenge us. ”
While talking, Chang'an and Lichun came over.
"Chang'an has seen the old lady."
"You are Chang'an, I have always heard children talk about you, and they all have a good opinion of you, but now when I see it, it is really true. Today, our two families have torn their faces, and I won't treat you as a princess. ”
"The old lady just treats me as a junior."
"Hehe, I don't dare to take this seriously. You know why your brother raided my house? ”
"Got it, maybe there's some misunderstanding in it?"
"There's no misunderstanding, my family did all those things. Brother Rong's daughter-in-law's affairs, Miaoyu's affairs, and the Zhen family's affairs were all done by me back then. ”
"I don't understand, the two daughters of the deposed king, but they are both babies, why do you have to kill them all? That Qin Keqing was originally from your family, and I can take her in and protect her as an outsider, why can't your family tolerate her to live? ”
"Your grandfather has been to the Zhen family four times, how much money does the Zhen family have to fill this hole in? There are hundreds of people in a family, but they just want to leave a few life money, so why do you have to force people to die? ”
"The eldest girl in my family entered the palace in her teens, kept to herself, was virtuous and reasonable, and served the emperor wholeheartedly, why couldn't she be spared?"
"Okay, we have endured these things, and now we have even copied my house, and we will all be imprisoned and beheaded, and the grass will be cut to the roots."
"Hehe, your brother is really capable. Now that the three feudatories are playing him as a fool, the country is going to be gone, but he is good, and he is still playing prestige with his own people here, but he is really capable. ”
"It doesn't matter if my family is destroyed, when your family is in trouble, you see who else will come forward to help you."
"I tell you the truth, I have already explained to the children, and I will sit here, and I will die with you today. Whoever wants to take away one more person from my family will step over our corpses. ”
"I've already sent someone to report to Brother Min, hehe, when he comes back, he will naturally settle accounts with your family."
"There's one more thing I might as well tell you. Send to the three houses of the king of Dongping, and see if their families are still there? The people have run away, and you are still in the dark. ”
"How do you know?"
"How do I know? Almost the whole city knows about it, but your family doesn't know it yet. Okay, I've told you everything I need to say, and you can fight if you want. Today, our Jia family will die with you. ”
"Brother Lian, tell the children that they are all members of the government corps, don't embarrass your ancestors, and don't embarrass Brother Min. I'll be with you right here, and we'll go to Hades, and we'll go on our way together. ”
"Don't be impatient, maybe there is another way to resolve this matter."
"Something else? Tell me, what else can be done? ”
"I can take you hostage, and you will take me hostage to leave the imperial capital."
The old lady did not speak immediately, and looked at Chang'an with interest.
"Well, you are a good girl, no wonder they say that you are the only person in your family who is affectionate and righteous. Just for you, I can ask Brother Min to let you live in the future. ”
"However, I do not agree with you being our hostage. We, the Jia family, would rather die than do this kind of cowardly thing that threatens people. ”
"Ancestor ......,"
When Chang'an was talking to the old lady, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, Li Kun, Jia Yu, Jia Zheng and others gathered over.
Seeing that Chang'an said that he was willing to be a hostage, he was tempted. Before anyone else spoke, Mrs. Xing was the first to speak, meaning to ask the ancestor to accept Chang'an's request.
Before she could finish speaking, the old lady just screamed.
"Shut up! It's just a death, a few more years and a few less years, what's the big deal, why bother to leave an infamy, steal a life, and make people look down upon? ”
Seeing that the old lady was angry, no one dared to speak anymore.
"Chang'an, now I say that there are two ways, one is for you to go to your brother, ask him to take back his fate, and let us leave here, and the other is that we will die together, you can choose one by yourself."
"Don't be impatient, I'll go back to the imperial brother."
Chang'an did not hesitate, turned around and left. In the past, I explained a few words to Sun Tongren, told him to wait here, not to act rashly, and went back to the palace.
Here, the old lady took Jia Yan into her arms and stroked his head with her hand.
"My good great-great-grandson, don't be afraid, someone will come and bring your mother back in the future."
After speaking, he turned to Wang Xifeng again.
"Brother Feng, go and ask someone to cook, I'm a little hungry, everyone should eat, even if they die, they can't be a starving ghost."
"Yes, Ancestor."
Wang Xifeng went in tears.
"You all give me some spirit, and if you die, Brother Min will avenge us. What are you afraid of? ”
"Also, I'll tell you a secret. When I was as old as Daiyu, I had a nickname called Shi Daringer. Look at the little things you did, throw a little scrap metal, throw a few dice, and I'm ashamed of you. ”
