One day in June, the sun was shining high, and the weather was so hot that people couldn't wait to lie in the water and not come out.

It wasn't until the evening that there was a gust of wind, but when it blew on people's bodies, they only felt sticky and uncomfortable.

Cheng Jingzhou and Xie Xiuwen were not in the mansion, one was left in the palace by the saint to discuss matters, and the other went out of the city on an errand.

Xie Rongzhao has been waiting, and he always feels unsteady in his heart.

I don't know if it's her delusion, the bracelet on her left wrist seems to be hot.

"Come on, check all the portals, tighten the bolts on all the portals, and invite Master Wu over."

"Yes, young lady."

It's only been a few months since this new house moved in, Xie Rongzhao thought that this place was not far from Xie's mansion, should he send someone to ask?

Soon, Master Wu was invited over.

"I always have some unsteadiness in my heart, and I ask Master Wu to work hard and call everyone up to keep vigil. Especially the front door and the back door, we must not let up."

"Madame, don't worry, leave everything to your subordinates."

Today, there are more than 20 family members in the Cheng Mansion, and there are 30 people in the nursing home, some of which are allocated by the imperial court, and some are invited by Xie Rongzhao himself.

The servants and maids in the inner house, all of them add up, and there are dozens of people.

Xie Rongzhao asked them all to be called up, cheered up, and guarded the doors of each courtyard.

Wang Zizhen was still carrying a knife in her hand, and a maid ring behind her was carrying a stick in her hand, afraid that there would be another event.

Such a big movement naturally woke up Cheng's father and mother.

He and his wife had just come to the front yard to ask questions, when they heard the sound of footsteps roaring outside.

Listening to this movement, it must be thousands of people, to say the least.

Cheng's mother could even feel that the beams were trembling.

"Father and mother, I have disturbed you, and now that my husband has not returned, I am really afraid in my heart, so I called my subordinates to keep vigil."

Cheng's father raised his hand to stop her from continuing, it was obvious that this movement was definitely not a joke by ordinary people.

Soon, there was a knock on the door of Cheng's mansion, and Xie Rongzhao was scared in his heart, but his face was still very calm: "Ask first, don't open the door."

"Quickly open the door, I am a subordinate of the Xie Mansion, Mrs. Xie has a headache and faints, and the eldest young lady specially sent me to invite my aunt and grandmother over."

"It's so late, our young lady has already rested, let's talk about something tomorrow."

"Which of you are so ignorant? Mrs. Xie's life is at stake, how can it be delayed?"

"Then you go back first, I'll knock on the door again when I get to the second door." Don't worry, when my young lady gets up, she will definitely go to Xie Mansion."

The man outside the door seemed unwilling, but he was helpless, and in the end he just stomped his feet away.

Xie Rongzhao frowned, the voice of the person was a little familiar, could it be that his mother was sick?

However, she still didn't dare to be careless, and just asked people to wait.

Cheng's mother was a little worried: "Zhaozhao, do we want to go over and have a look?"

"Mother, don't worry, I only saw my aunt the day before yesterday, she is in good health, and I haven't heard of any discomfort. And there was such a big movement outside just now, I'm afraid it's not true. Let's wait."

Cheng's mother stopped talking, after all, she was Xie Rongzhao's mother, and in this situation, she was indeed a little scared.

Xie Rongzhao didn't move here, and after about two quarters of an hour, someone came to knock on the door.

This time, the reason was still that Mrs. Xie had a headache and fainted, but the voice was a different person.

"I've already sent a message to the mother-in-law of the second gate, but the young lady of my family hasn't come out yet, so you can go back and wait first."

"What's your attitude? Open the door and let me in. My aunt and grandmother can't go back to see their birth mother? Don't your Cheng family want to put your aunt under house arrest and don't want her to go back to serve her mother?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door, apparently caused by someone beating him with a heavy object.

"What are you doing? I warn you to stop quickly, or don't blame me for being rude!"

The housekeeper's words fell, and the martial master over there had already climbed the high wall, and he didn't dare to make much movement, but after just a few glances, he immediately came down again.

"Master, madam, there are about thirty people outside, all of them are strong men, although they are dressed as servants, it is obviously not the clothes worn by the servants of the Xie family. And I saw that they were all straight, more like soldiers."

Cheng's mother was frightened a lot, but fortunately, Cheng's father supported her, so she stood firm.

"If they hit the door again, they don't have to be polite, just dodge the arrow!"

"Yes, young lady."

Cheng's father and Cheng's mother didn't speak during the whole process, just watched the daughter-in-law calmly and rationally order one by one.

"Come on, go and move out all the lamp oil and soybean oil we have stored in case of emergency."

Cheng's mother didn't understand, but Cheng's father understood.

This is to see that if the other party wants to attack, it can only pour oil outside.

Master Wu also realized that something was wrong, and immediately gathered all the people, and then divided the task, and let people get some rockets, which were all stained with oil, as long as they were shot out as soon as they were ignited, they could burn people to death if they couldn't be shot, and they might also hurt a large area.

The huge Cheng Mansion, these subordinates are actually far from enough.

But there is no way, things have been forced to this point, and we can only take one step at a time.

What they didn't know was that the same thing was being staged in many official eunuchs in the capital, and some of them believed it, and after they hurried out of the palace, they were forcibly tied to the carriage and went straight to the palace.

Xie Mansion, Liu Ruolan at this time is also as calm as Xie Rongzhao, the difference is that there are more nurses and strong men in their house, so they still have a sense of security for the time being.

Soon, the people outside began to move again, and this time the slamming of the door was obviously louder.

As soon as Master Wu's gesture fell, more than a dozen rockets were immediately fired at those people, and after another wave, those people outside collapsed.

The main reason is that the other party has fewer people.

But Master Wu didn't dare to be careless, who knows if they have reinforcements?

After Master Wu leaned on the wall and saw the situation outside clearly, he let go of a crack in the door, and he took six or seven guards out, and killed all these thieves with neat movements!

Master Wu finally counted, and there were always thirty-two corpses, as if two or three people had escaped.

"Young lady, those corpses haven't been disposed of yet, and a few people have run away, I'm afraid that tonight will not be good. In my opinion, if you don't have a few masters, let's run through the back door, and let's all go to the Xie Mansion or the Yunlu General's Mansion to avoid it."

Master Wu's meaning is very clear, or it is combined
