Chapter 2: Defection

The night is cold and slightly cold.

Kyoto is a bustling border, and the north and south are completely different; The night city in the south is mostly full of untouchable ruffians, merchants are displaced, Kyoto is full of red colors, the beauties on the street are endless, and the sound of pipa is endless. The only suitable place is to stop and watch the lively character, everyone in the world has a good heart, and I can't wait to see blood and light disasters every day. At this moment, the official family raided the house and asked Zhuo Mansion, which is very lively news.

An official sedan chair was carried out from Zhuo's mansion, and another one came out after a while, if you stand at the corner of the street behind the crowd of onlookers, you can see it clearly. Mr. Yao was afraid that the official family would recognize Zhuo Yiting and the girl Sanxi, so he quickly pulled the two of them away. The two refused to live or die, so they hid around the corner and waited for the situation to happen. Seeing two sedan chairs coming out of the door and passing by, Zhuo Yiting couldn't help but be anxious and wanted to rush back to the house.

Yes, Zhuo Yiting and Sanxi, the two masters and servants, are dressed as young men and Xiao Si at this time, and they are not afraid of being recognized!

Mr. Yao gave Xiao Si a look at Sanxi, who was dressed up, and Sanxi clasped Zhuo Yiting's arm. Mr. Yao persuaded: "Look at the palanquin of Prince Rong who just passed, he is here to intercede." He has a very good relationship with Lord Zhuo. ”

Zhuo Yiting swallowed his cry, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I don't know what happened to my father, mother and brother?" I want to go in and you won't let go, live or die and let me wait here to suffer. Once they have something, call me how! ”

Sanxi cried sadly: "Girl, maybe it's not what we think." ”

Zhuo Yiting looked at Mr. Yao pleadingly, and begged, "Sir, what's wrong with my family?" ”

Mr. Yao's expression was reassured, and he said, "Wait for me to go and see, you don't come out first." I'll come back to you in detail, how about it? Zhuo Yiting nodded with tears in his eyes. Mr. Yao went, trotted back for a while, and after a while saw two covered corpses carried out from Zhuo's mansion, followed by dozens of family members who were escorted out by the official family, they were sad and sad, crying and falling down.

When Zhuo Yiting saw this scene, his eyes were dark and fainted, so anxious that Sanxi couldn't cry, and knelt down to kowtow to Mr. Medicine for help. Mr. Yao pressed Zhuo Yiting's people, about half a pillar of incense, Zhuo Yiting woke up, cleared his relatives, and said nothing.

Mr. Yao said: "The adult has been poisoned, and the saint has decreed that the family will be taken from the house. I'm afraid it's not good. Take care of yourself, girl. ”

Zhuo Yiting's tears were like rain, his throat was like a thorn, his mouth shook a few times, his voice was speechless, his tears were clear, and he could look at Mr. Medicine as if he were piercing. Mr. Yao then said: "I went to eat wine after saying goodbye to adults today, and I blamed me for eating two more glasses of wine and making a mistake. I thought about it, but it was too late. ”

Zhuo Yiting said faintly: "How could anyone participate in my father? My sister just got the title in the palace, it's impossible! ”

Mr. Yao was helpless, shook his head and said, "Who said it wasn't?" ”

Sanxi was even more desolate and helpless, shook Mr. Yao's arm and said, "Then what now?" ”

Zhuo Yiting struggled and said, "I'm going to go back and have a look." ”

Mr. Yao grabbed Zhuo Yiting: "Girl, don't be in a hurry to go back, this is a copy of the house, and there are people who can't get their heads to the ground." I heard that Li's mansion was also raided at noon, and the eldest young master and the eldest young wife of his family had a quarrel, and the family of twenty-three was bloodied. ”

Zhuo Yiting sat paralyzed on the ground, and Sanxila couldn't move.

Mr. Yao grabbed Zhuo Yiting hard.

Zhuo Yiting cried sadly: "They all blame me, they shouldn't run out." ”

Mr. Yao said: "The situation is undecided, although the prince is leaving, he must help arrange it properly." Don't cry, girl. Let's wait...... Maybe it wasn't the adults and the lady who just carried it out......"

Zhuo Yiting ignored it, got up again, and said, "Wait? When? You also said just now, the Li Mansion washed twenty-three people in blood at noon, and there are more than fifty people in my family, do you know Mr. Yao? ”

Mr. Yao comforted: "How could I not know? If it weren't for Lord Zhuo, I would have died a few times, how could I have repaid the great kindness of the girl's house? My heart is the same as that of a girl. ”

Zhuo Yiting cried.

For a long time, at the gate of Zhuo's Mansion in the distance, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, the officers and soldiers guarded as usual, and no one was escorted out of the mansion again, but there were officers and soldiers who carried out the boxes and objects of the house, and the careful eye could see that it was after a large-scale raid of the house, and the father's poems, books, calligraphy and paintings were piled up in a mess and carried by the people.

Zhuo Yiting burst into tears, and said loudly: "Father, mother...... Brother...... I-"

Zhuo Yiting "I" was about to call out loudly, but was covered by Mr. Yao.

Mr. Yao said, "Girl! The situation is not good, it is doomed. Wouldn't it be a hundred times for the girl to be exposed like this? That is not the will of the traitor. If you stay in the green mountains, you can make the sky green! I have heard that among the people who go to your house, there are your relatives. ”

Zhuo Yiting gritted his teeth and listened, tears streaming down one by one. My father and mother had always been good and had never made enmity with anyone, and the same was true for teaching my family. How could someone steal their homes and kill their heads? What a hatred!

Mr. Yao said, "Girl, don't scream, I'll let go slowly, listen to me slowly." ”

Zhuo Yiting closed his eyes and nodded.

Mr. Yao said: "Three days ago, I heard that I didn't believe the book of the three old ginseng of the Zhuang family. After all, it's your mother's maternal brother, and I didn't tell your father about this, I'm afraid that there will be a gap to give birth. Now, in my heart, I have to say that the girl has to know, so she should keep a thought, a way to avenge the adult's wife! ”

Zhuo Yiting opened his mouth, he couldn't cry, and finally said: "So, Mr. understands in his heart, what he brought out just now is ...... It's ......" crying.

Mr. Yao said: "The girl's family hasn't gone to Zhuangfu since they arrived in Beijing, right? ”

Zhuo Yiting was angry with tears in his eyes, and said coldly: "Mr. said that my grandmother's family joined my father, so there must be nothing to go to!" ”

Mr. Yao pondered, and said, "The rumors say so, but they may not be true. Isn't that your mother's family, your compartment relatives? If you want me to say, it's good to go to them right now. Otherwise, there is no place to go, and I am afraid that tomorrow will be ...... I'm afraid it's even worse. The official raids the family and takes the people, but if there are fewer people, don't you want to pursue them? ”

Zhuo Yiting said angrily: "When you go to your grandmother's house, isn't it a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?" Besides, my father and mother were victimized by them, and I ......."

Mr. Yao smiled slightly and said with relief: "The rumors may not be true, but it is important to save your life at the moment." Don't say anything else, you are Mrs. Zhuang's own granddaughter. No matter what, it won't embarrass you. They had a large mansion, and I heard that the old lady had served the former emperor and the current queen mother when she was young...... I think that going to the past and seeking a peaceful life for the time being is also a way out, after all, there are blood relatives, right? ”

Zhuo Yiting acquiesced, and Sanxi nodded in agreement. I didn't think much about it, the two didn't know each other well in Kyoto, and now they have nothing to worry about, and they can only save their lives by looking for their grandmother's house. Even if you want to go, it is good to be in the mouth of the tiger, and you can enter the village to see your grandmother and ask clearly, if the facts are true, the big fuss will also make a big fuss for your father and mother, and you are worthy of being a child. In this way, Zhuo Yiting asked Mr. Yao to lead the way to Zhuangfu.

Before and after arriving in Kyoto, Zhuo Yiting had never seen his grandmother's family, and he didn't know how to go. When I was in the south, my mother often mentioned the things in my grandmother's house, and I really wanted to go in to recognize my relatives, and I was a little scared in my heart. Now that they are raiding their homes, they may want to hide!

Mr. Yao said along the way: "Today is your grandmother's 80th birthday, and when I came to your house, your father mentioned it to me a little. Originally, when I arrived in Beijing, I should take you over immediately to say goodbye, because there is a post over there, and I will go over when the hour comes. It happened suddenly, presumably the Zhuang Mansion may not know about the girl's house. If not, this big birthday is out of place! ”

Zhuo Yiting knew about the grandmother's old lady in Kyoto about her birthday today. On the way from the south to Beijing, her mother kept telling her: "Since I married your father, I have not seen your grandmother a few times, and the last time was sent to Beijing by your father." It's been more than ten years. When I arrived in Beijing, I had to dress up well, and I went to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, so that she would know that we were also everyone's beautiful daughters. Your brothers and sisters must be very good people, so don't let them laugh at you for being from a barbaric place. ”

I heard my mother say that my grandmother and grandfather followed the emperor and the current queen mother to serve in the old days, and when the emperor fought for the crown prince, my grandfather made a contribution, and it is said that because of this, my grandfather's half leg was put on it, and my grandmother saw that it was pitiful, and the emperor and queen at that time were married, so she married my grandfather.

After that, the first emperor ascended the throne, the Quartet was pacified, the emperor gave the position, sent to the battlefield, and the maternal grandfather showed his military exploits, and at that time the maternal grandmother helped the queen to consolidate her position in the palace.

Counting these exploits to have the reason why they are now treated differently by the royal family, the only thing that is not beautiful, not many years, my grandfather died in the frontier, and the emperor let my grandmother move out of the palace to live with her children, so that she sent a mansion and enjoyed endless glory and wealth. Then understand the current emperor in detail, this emperor was not born and raised by the queen mother, he was brought to the throne from the imperial family, the queen mother was not at ease with outsiders, and when the emperor was young, he summoned his grandmother into the palace to serve him for some time.

Now in this village, I don't know why, my mother said: My grandmother gave birth to four uncles, and my mother was the youngest.

won the branch of Enzhuang Mansion, and this big mansion is divided into east, west, north and south mansions; The east mansion is the eldest uncle Zhuang Xi, the north mansion is the second uncle Zhuang Lu, the west mansion is the third uncle Zhuang Qin, and the south mansion is the fourth uncle Zhuang Yao.

The eldest uncle was over sixty years old, and when he was young, he was rescued by a thief on the way to a thief, and was rescued by a chivalrous guest. Later, he married two aunts, one surnamed Xi, and gave birth to the eldest daughter of the Tong clan named Zhuang Hu, and the other room was called Mrs. Xiaojiao, and also gave birth to a girl, ranking fourth, and the fourth girl was named Zhuang Yu.

The second uncle crossed the five patrols at the time, played a small and had no joy in the officialdom, devoted himself to business, married the daughter of the businessman surnamed Cao, it is said that the Cao family has no brains, gave birth to two daughters, the second in the Tong clan is the second girl Zhuang Xuan and the third in the third girl Zhuang Ying, and then a room Yuan surnamed Mrs. Aunt, no birth.

The third uncle also had the first five rounds at the time, and the main house was married to the daughter of the prince of the official family, and the people of Zhuangfu called the county lord, and gave birth to two young masters, the second master Zhuang Pu of the Tong clan, and the third third master Zhuang Jue, and then called the county lord to marry the open face of the phoenix, and gave birth to the fifth fifth girl Zhuang Yu.

The fourth uncle was over five rounds old, and the main house died and left two daughters, ranked sixth and seventh, the sixth girl Zhuang Jue, the seventh girl Zhuang Ying, and the seventh girl was only ten years old.

Zhuo Yiting's mother inadvertently mentioned that this wife is talented, knowledgeable, and detailed, but for some reason she married into the Zhuang Mansion, and she is not the main house, and it is even more strange to choose the fourth uncle.

My mother once said: "The harmony of my grandmother's four-room house is harmony, and if there is no harmony, outsiders will not be able to see the true chapter." "In the end, what Zhuo Yiting can't understand, how can children imagine the world of adults?

Zhuo Yiting is unfamiliar and familiar with the people of Zhuangfu, and he is somewhat bloodlined, so he must call out a cousin. If they really defected, they should not be embarrassed, and if they really rushed to kill them all, they could not say. Thinking about it so carefully, she only had to stiffen her head, she knew that she was not going to Zhuangfu for herself, but for her younger brother Zhuo Weimeng! Outside Zhuo's mansion, he watched the incident, but he never saw his younger brother being released, and he must have escaped, if he could escape, he could find his younger brother, which would be worthy of his father and mother. In this way, she must enter the Zhuang Mansion.
