Chapter 47: Deliberation
All of a sudden, the originally spacious hall was crowded with people, in addition to the masters of each family, there were some domestic servants who were more important in the family. Everyone looked sad.
They don't know how to do this now, and now they must do something as soon as possible, as the situation gets more and more serious, the city guards who will be repelled will only increase, in order to please the Xijon people, they are now like crazy, the young women in the city are almost extinct, and most of them are no longer in their Xie family.
In such a situation, even the originally noble princesses and noble daughters of the family were driven away like animals, and those who were cowardly and crazy were originally used to protect the people, and the city guards of the monarch dedicated their hands to the Xijon people outside.
The Xie family, the Cheng family, and other people who lived in the courtyard of several walls heard the continuous crying, and some people seemed to resist desperately, but those soldiers and officers who were eager to save their lives with weapons in hand could tolerate resistance, they did not have the courage to go outside the city to fight with the Xirong people, but they dared to use knives against the people in the city.
The shouting, and the smell of blood, and the increasing number of resisting servants in the house were injured, and everyone had not slept for days. Once their courtyard gate is breached, the women and maids in the family will be dragged out and sent to the military camp of the Xijon people, and the fate can be imagined. The men will also be killed one by one, and at the same time, they will also set an example for the chickens and monkeys.
Xie Ming was also one of them. He and his wife have three children, the eldest is only 12 years old this year, the younger is only 10 years old, and the younger is only 5 years old this year. Every child is his life. Especially his daughter, he couldn't believe that if they didn't resist, his daughter would be arrested and sent to the barracks of those Xijon people, which was terrible. And his wife.
Fortunately, the people in the family are all united front, and no one hesitates, and they can't accept pushing the children and daughter-in-law of the family into hell with both hands. For those who do not resist, or even hope that the woman in the family will be able to escape the game. How can such a person be worthy of being a father and a son?
No amount of worry and grief is useless, it is better to think of a way to escape from Kyoto.
Because it was led by the Xie family before, at the beginning, I found that the situation was not good, everyone was distressed about their daughter's family, the Xie family came to ask, and everyone thought that it would be good for the people to gather together. Later, I was very happy.
So now everyone is headed by the Xie family, and most of the time they are willing to listen to the Xie family. Although it is inevitable that there will be some disagreement from time to time, everyone sitting here is not stupid, and it is important to be united at this time.
The Cheng family, the mother-in-law of the Xie family, her parents have long passed away, and now her eldest brother is in charge, and this time there is also her third brother, the three of them are the same mother, so they have always had a good relationship. This time it was also the most active drag on the family. Because the two of them have five daughters alone, they are really not at ease.
Now he asked his brother-in-law and nephews directly, "The situation outside is getting worse and worse, although the soldiers were repelled this time, but there are too many injured people on our side." It's almost unbearable. ”
As soon as he said this, it was as if the air was frozen. Everybody knows what's going on.
Xie Chengwen, the head of the Xie family, didn't speak, and Brother Xie pondered for a while before he said, "We can't resist for long, and we can also not defend it." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Old Man Wang, "Xie, what do you mean, you want to surrender and save your life, Lao Tzu's daughter, granddaughter does this?" ”
At this moment, there was a commotion in the lobby, and a group of little girls on the right were about to cry all of a sudden, all of them were the daughters of the Xie family.
Xie Minghui was anxious all of a sudden. "Father-in-law, what did you say, how could I do this. I didn't finish my words. "Although this old man Wang is a literati, but he has a quick temper, he did not remarry after the death of his wife, but fortunately raised a son and a daughter, even if his daughter is married, it is also his lifeline.
Father Xie and Cheng also hurriedly persuaded: "Minghui, it's not such a person, Brother Wang listened to him finish speaking." Old man Wang was still a little angry and said: "You say...", if you don't agree with what you say, you will wave your sleeves and beat this son-in-law violently, and the brother-in-law of the Wang family on the side looked at Xie Minghui viciously.
Xie Minghui hurriedly explained: "This method is a bit risky, but it is also the best method at present. Old man Wang urged: "I want to talk about it." The elders of the other families were also busy: "The eldest son of the Xie family, since there is a way, let's talk about it quickly, let's think about it." ”
Xie Minghui said: "This is also thanks to my third brother and little sister, before the little sister sent a letter back to remind that there may be a natural disaster, the third brother discussed with us to dig a cellar at home to store grain." When the time came, we took out the grain and put it in the storehouse, and everyone hid in the cellar for a few days, and when the Xijon people broke through the city, we came out and killed the defenders of the city and rushed out. ”
Xie Minghui explained: "Our Xie Mansion is the closest to the West Gate, and the West Gate goes to the northwest, not to the south, and the guards are the loosest among the four gates. When the time comes, the people of Xijon are busy going to the palace, and we take this opportunity to rush out. Even if we will encounter some robbers of the Sijon, as long as we are not disrupted, we are still sure. And if you escape, you won't have too many soldiers chasing you. ”
The second brother and sister's mother's family, the old man Zhang was a little worried: "This method is too mysterious, if we fail, we will all be caught in the urn." ”
Everyone was quiet, the risk was too great, but there was no way for a while.
In the end, it was the old man Wang who slapped the table and shouted: "Who has a good way, if you don't have it, so be it, anyway, I won't be able to stand it for three days at most, I'd rather die than watch the children being sent to those Xijon people to spoil them." ”
Now that the decision has been made, everyone began to help fill in the gaps in the plan.
"Is the entrance of this cellar conspicuous, it is not easy to be found, is it breathable, and how many people can it hold?" asked Cheng Jiaqi, the elder of the Cheng family.
This cellar was also suggested by Xie Ming, and he knew best in the Xie family, so he stood up and explained to everyone: "The cellar was learned by me when I was sent abroad in Nandi, and I don't know much about Kyoto, the entrance is hidden, it is difficult to be discovered, and the air permeability is very good." We have more than 300 men here and all the servants of the house. A total of three cellars can still be accommodated. ”
This problem was solved, and the third son of the Zhang family asked, "We have all met at once, everyone will be suspicious, and we will definitely search the Xie Mansion carefully, so we are very dangerous." ”
Xie explained: "Well, we have to pretend that we have escaped, and we will kill all the people left behind outside the mansion at night, and when the time comes, I will find a few skilled people to drive out in a carriage and hide in the civilian alley on the edge of Xicheng, disrupt the sight of outsiders, and by the way, let them hide nearby, and we can also help when we run." ”
Everyone made a rambling suggestion that they should get a lot of dry food in advance, and everyone should bring some food with them, but it was a pity that they had specially prepared the food.
And everyone should also change their clothes, not too eye-catching. Weapons are something to bring.
