Chapter 54: The Disaster of the Prime Minister's Mansion
Before the lights were turned off in Qiuhuatang, Wen Jin hurriedly instructed Xiangmei to go in and return, "You go back to Xiangye and say that I have something to tell my father." ”
When Xiangmei saw that the eldest lady was menacing, she knew that there was something important, and she didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so she hurriedly went in to return.
After a quarter of an hour, Xiangye got dressed and walked out of it, and asked with a worried face, "Wen'er, what do you have to say?" ”
Wen Jin said anxiously, "This is not the place to talk, please ask my father to follow me to the ear room of Qiuhua Hall to talk." ”
Xiangye knew that Wen Jin was not a willful person, and he was even more worried about the urgency of the matter, so he hurriedly followed Wen Jin to the ear room.
Wen Jin said the words of the bamboo leaf back to Xiang Ye in detail, and Xiang Ye also frowned tightly. As the so-called careful thinking is extremely scary, after a quarter of an hour, Xiangye said nervously, "It's not good, I want to enter the palace to face the saint." ”
Wen Jin also looked worried, "Father, if it's not early today, the emperor must have rested." Father, why don't you go back tomorrow morning? ”
Xiangye said anxiously, "It's too late tomorrow, and our Xiangfu is afraid that we won't be able to keep it." ”
Hearing this, Wen Jin's face couldn't help but turn pale.
Xiangye hurriedly instructed again, "Wen'er, there is no man in the Prime Minister's Mansion who can support things, and now the Prime Minister's Mansion is about to suffer, and the affairs of the Mansion depend on you." Xiangye instructed with a worried face, as if he was explaining the aftermath.
Wen Jin's body trembled, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, and his whole body was trembling slightly, but he still said calmly, "Father, don't worry, Wen'er will guard the Prime Minister's Mansion and wait for his father to come back safely." ”
All night, the prime minister's house was brightly lit, and people were panicking. The masters of the Prime Minister's Mansion all gathered in Chunrong Hall.
The old lady ordered three braziers to be put together in the inner room of Chunrong Hall, and the family sat in the inner room, but they were not cold.
After waiting all night, Xiangye didn't come back. The sky gradually brightened, and Wen Jin said to himself, "The sky is already bright, the emperor is going to go to the early court, and my father must also go." Now let's go back and rest! Two hours later, I will come back to Chuneido. ”
Everyone had already regarded Wen Jin as the backbone at this time, Wen Jin said so, and everyone went back.
The old lady asked suspiciously, "Sister Wen, what do you mean by this?" ”
Wen Jin still said worriedly, "As soon as the dynasty is up, the emperor will make up his mind about this matter." If there is a disaster in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it will also be after the early dynasty, so at this time, there will be no action outside. ”
The old lady was so anxious that she almost couldn't get up in one breath. Fortunately, Wen Jin stepped forward and slapped the old lady's back, so that the old lady was relieved.
The old lady had a worried look on her face, and Wen Jin wanted to open her mouth to persuade her, but she didn't know where to persuade her. The old lady held Wen Jin's hand tightly, "Sister Wen, there shouldn't be an accident in the Prime Minister's Mansion, right?" ”
Wen Jin nodded heavily.
The old lady seemed to believe this, and said to herself, "Your father has been trembling since he came as an official, thinking twice about everything, and not daring to be disrespectful to the emperor in the slightest. The Prime Minister's Mansion will be fine. ”
"The Prime Minister's Mansion will be fine." Wen Jin's eyes were resolute, and he said categorically.
The old lady seemed to have regained her composure, and instructed, "Go back and rest quickly!" Otherwise, the body will not be able to stand it. ”
Wen Jin responded obediently, "Okay, granddaughter will go back first." ”
Wen Jin ate breakfast in Nuanwen Pavilion without knowing anything, but there was a noisy sound outside.
Wen Jin panicked, and the chopsticks in his hand fell in response. "What's going on out there?" Wen Jin hurriedly walked out.
Qiushui cried back and forth, "Miss, it's not good, there are officers and soldiers surrounding the Prime Minister's Mansion outside." ”
Wen Jin's scalp tightened, and he hurriedly spoke, "Don't panic, it's just a surrounding, it's not time to go to prison yet, let me take a look." ”
Zhu Ye and Zhu Qing hurriedly helped Wen Jin to the gate.
Wen Jin saw Gao and Aunt Li coming to the gate with the old lady from a distance, and Yun Jin followed behind with Aunt Tao, who was pregnant.
Wen Jin stepped forward, first comforted the old lady, and then looked at Aunt Tao, "Come on, help Aunt Tao back, Aunt Tao is pregnant, and she can't collide." ”
The old lady also hurriedly ordered, "Yes, yes, Aunt Tao will go back first." ”
Gao said anxiously, "What the hell is going on?" How's that good? ”
As soon as Gao's words came out, the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately became in a commotion.
Wen Jin glanced at Gao Shi dissatisfied, and then said loudly, "Madame don't have to worry, my father has always been clean and self-conscious, and he will not be contaminated with trouble." Now the emperor just sent people to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when the matter is clarified, the officers and soldiers will withdraw. ”
The old lady glanced at Wen Jin busily, and said approvingly, "Sister Wen is right, the emperor Shengming will definitely return the innocence of the Prime Minister's house." ”
Wen Jin quickly cut through the chaos and said, "It's cold outside, let's go to the front hall and wait first, let the subordinates put on a few braziers, and let's wait for Xiangye to come back with peace of mind." ”
Only then did Gao understand it, and he quickly agreed.
In the front hall, although everyone did not say anything gloomy, they were also sitting on pins and needles. Wen Jin could barely hold on to his apparent composure.
A quarter of an hour later, Wen Jin suddenly stood up. "Where's the eldest young master?"
Gao Shi said suspiciously and worriedly, "What about being watched by the nurse in Qiuhuatang?" ”
Wen Jin was silent for a moment, and then instructed Zhu Yedao, "You quietly take the eldest young master out of the mansion and hand him over to Zhuangzi for people to take care of." ”
Gao's face was anxious, "Miss, what does this mean?" ”
Wen Jin hurriedly explained, "The matter has not yet been decided, and I can't not plan ahead." Madame rest assured, the shop and grange given to me by the Wenguo Mansion are not registered in my own name, and if there is an accident in the future, even if the property of the Prime Minister's Mansion is confiscated, it will not be involved there. ”
The Gao family couldn't make a decision for a while, but the old lady spoke, "If you don't want to be a brother and suffer, just listen to Sister Wen." ”
Gao didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly ordered Mama Li and Zhuye to go to Qiuhua Hall to hug the eldest young master.
Wen Jin calmed down and said properly, "Zhu Ye has hands and feet, she can avoid the officers and soldiers and take Brother Cheng out, but Aunt Tao is pregnant, but it is not appropriate to move." ”
The old lady's eyes flashed, and then she cautiously instructed Mama Zhang, "You go and invite Aunt Tao to my yard." ”
Mama Zhang hurriedly took the order.
The old lady had already regained her former demeanor at this time, and calmly ordered, "You are all waiting in the front hall, Sister Wen will go back to Chunrong Hall with me first." ”
Wen Jin hurriedly helped the old lady to rush to Chunrong Hall, and the old lady whispered on the road, "There is a secret room in the small Buddha Hall of Chunrong Hall, if the officers and soldiers rush in later, it can save Aunt Tao from harm, if the officers and soldiers really rush in, Sister Wen, you can also go in together." ”
Wen Jin's face was moved, "Grandmother ......"
Then he said with a resolute look in his eyes, "As the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, no matter the glory or disgrace of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I will advance and retreat with the Prime Minister's Mansion." Aunt Tao hid in the small Buddha hall and kept the unborn child of the Prime Minister's Mansion. And I had no reason to hide in it. ”
The old lady's eyes revealed emotion, and she gently patted the back of Wen Jin's smooth hand with her hand full of vicissitudes, "Good boy." ”
Mama Zhang walked over from not far away and replied to the old lady respectfully, "Old lady, the old slave has already settled Aunt Tao." ”
The old lady nodded heartily.
As soon as Mama Zhang's voice fell, the housekeeper hurriedly ran over, "Old lady, it's not good, the officers and soldiers have already entered the mansion to arrest people." ”
The old lady's face changed greatly, and she grabbed Wen Jin's hand tightly, and Wen Jin also shook it back tightly, "Grandmother, don't worry, we don't have to wait for them to catch us, let's go over and take a look." ”
Wen Jin's voice was extremely calm, and even the old lady's heart calmed down. The old lady said in a fierce tone, "Okay, let's go and see!" I don't believe that there is no justice in this world. ”
At the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the ladies and maids in the mansion have been surrounded by officers and soldiers. Seeing the old lady and Wen Jin coming, a team of officers and soldiers immediately surrounded them.
The old lady scolded coldly, "We won't run without you surrounding." We have not committed a crime in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so where is the use of escaping! ”
"Papapa......" There was a sound of applause outside.
When the old lady and Wen Jin heard this, they saw Ning Guogong with a mocking smile on his face, "The old lady is really bold!" Things can still be so calm! ”
"Oh? I forgot, I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? Prime Minister Su Cheng was greedy for the silver taels of the northern disaster relief, and the emperor had already issued an order to ask for beheading in three days. All the female dependents of the prime minister's house were used as official slaves, and all the men over the age of 14 in the clan were beheaded, and the rest were assigned to the frontier. ”
The old lady almost fainted when she heard this, and Gao almost collapsed to the ground. Aunt Li and Yun Jin hugged each other tightly, and their eyes revealed despair.
Only Wen Jin said coldly with a calm face, "The saint is a Ming monarch, my father is not corrupt, presumably the emperor will return my father's innocence." ”
"It's Ning Guogong, you have to be careful, after all, you have walked a lot at night, and you don't know when you will encounter a powerful ghost to ask for your life." Wen Jin's tone was light, but it was with a warning.
Song Guozhong's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile, "Princess Jin is still worried about herself!" ”
"Come on, take them all away for me." Song Guozhong commanded fiercely.
Wen Jin walked in front of Song Guozhong, but he suddenly stopped, and said in a gloomy tone, "Ning Guogong, your retribution is already on the way." Otherwise, how could your only son have died? If there is still retribution, I am afraid that it will be cut off from the retribution of the grandson. ”
There was no panic or fear in Wen Jin's tone, even the words he said to Song Guozhong with a smile. Even with such a fluttering sentence, Song Guozhong was already trembling with anger. The loss of his only son was a pain in his heart.
Since the loss of his only son, he has taken several young and beautiful concubines, but none of them are pregnant. How can this keep him from rushing? Now he is past the age of his establishment.
Song Guozhong glared at Wen Jin fiercely, and warned in a low voice, "I will take good care of Princess Jin with a good jailer, and Princess Jin will go with peace of mind." ”
Wen Jin smiled sarcastically, "Then thank Ning Guogong, if I come out, I will naturally burn some paper money for the thin Young Master Song to repay his father's "grace" to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Wen Jin's words have already been said to grit his teeth.
Song Guozhong was furious, "Take it away!" ”
