Chapter 219: Saving People
Those people from the family headed by Fan Ting, unlike Yu Zizhen, who was born in a family of military generals, are considered to be "their own people" from the same line as the soldiers in the world, and many times they can even easily gain a certain degree of trust and favor from the generals just by relying on their own identity convenience.
They are naturally opposed to the people in the army, and once they encounter something, they have no way to turn around and join forces with the other party.
Fortunately, Fan Zhongming still knew a Yu Zizhen, and Yu Zizhen was really willing to help most of their Fan family escape from the capital.
Although Yu Zizhen asked him for a lot of compensation, in Fan Zhongming's opinion, sixty percent of the family's wealth obviously cannot be compared with the dozens of lives of their family.
That night, Yu Zizhen's subordinates observed the wind direction in advance without alarming the soldiers outside the Fan Mansion, and used the help of the wind and the cover of the night to give them a large amount of medicinal powder.
The soldiers who inhaled the medicinal powder quickly fell into a deep sleep, and the Fan family, who had already prepared simple luggage, quietly left the Fan Mansion under the leadership of Fan Zhongming, and then was quickly transported by Yu Zizhen's people to the vicinity of the city gate in batches.
As for Fan Ting and his eldest son, they insisted on not leaving, and Yu Zizhen naturally would not do much to persuade them.
Everyone has their own choice, everyone has their own fate, and at most, after they died, she helped them collect and bury their bodies in Fan Zhongming's face.
As for the rest of the Fan family, including Fan Zhongming, there were a large number of road guides from Yu Zizhen, and they had no problem getting out of the city safely.
It is worth mentioning that Fan Ting brought two-thirds of the guards in the family to Fan Zhongming, as well as those henchmen who served his wife, children and grandchildren, and the family members of the one-third of the guards who stayed in Fan's mansion with their father and son.
At present, only Fan Ting's father and son, about one-third of the guards of the Fan Mansion, and those ordinary people who don't know anything are left in the Fan Mansion.
In fact, Yu Zizhen didn't mind taking those subordinates out, she felt that even if Fan Zhongming and the others didn't have the ability to bring them all back to their hometown, it would be okay to let them go directly after bringing them out, right?
However, her proposal was directly rejected by Fan Zhongming, and in his words, if these subordinates also left the Fan Mansion with them, then the soldiers in charge of guarding the Fan Mansion outside would definitely soon notice that something was wrong.
If they enter the house to check, then their group will probably not be able to leave.
Maybe it was because he saw Yu Zizhen's bad face, and he rarely explained to Yu Zizhen, "They are just servants, even if something happens to my grandfather and father, they will not be questioned together." ”
The slaves of Daqi are similar to objects, and they are also a kind of property of the master's family, even if the master's family is beheaded, they will not die with it, but will be taken to the human market to be re-sold.
Although there is a high probability that they will be separated from their families because they are re-sold, and it is difficult to see each other again in this life, at least the lives of the vast majority of people can be saved.
Yu Zizhen is also clear about this, and she must admit that Fan Zhongming's concerns are actually very reasonable.
He wants to use his slaves as smoke bombs for a while for his family, and in the current background of the times, Yu Zizhen really has no position to oppose it.
But even so, Yu Zizhen was still depressed. And because of this depression, she didn't remember the friendship of her classmates in the past few years to send Fan Zhongming away when she knew that Fan Zhongming was also leaving.
After the Fan family left only Fan Ting's father and son, the number of times Fan Ting's eldest son was summoned by Jingzhao Mansion became more and more frequent with the passage of time.
At the same time, rumors gradually spread that the Queen Mother was not in good health and was afraid that she would die soon.
Anyone with a keen sense of smell has felt the tension and danger coming from the various changes during this time. Under Yang Shixian's private admonition, many officials in Yang Zhengde's family either resigned during this time, or went directly with their seals, and they left very simply.
Lu Tong was busy dealing with Fan Ting's family, and he didn't make much trouble for them, most of these people went very smoothly, and a very small number of people who didn't plan to let go even if Lu Tong resigned, Yu Zizhen all let his subordinates sell personal favors to them.
At this juncture, of course Yu Zizhen can't reveal her true identity, but in the future, she can rely on today's life-saving grace to go to these officials who should have been the mainstay of the court to ask for this life-saving grace.
Her life-saving grace is not only for these officials, but also for these officials and their families when her subordinates save people.
With so many life-saving graces, no matter how thick-skinned they are, they have to give her back obediently, otherwise don't blame her for taking the initiative to take the initiative and even bring this kindness back.
Those officials who were recorded in a small notebook didn't know whether they were fast or slow, and they would always be found at home by Yu Zizhen, and the other party would justifiably ask them to work for themselves to repay the grace of saving their lives.
At this time, Yu Zizhen didn't only care about saving Yang Zhengde's family, when the situation was so tense, she still went to the palace with Fang Huaiying and Chen Hushan on time every day to be their companion.
People who don't know see it, and they don't talk much about their strong nerves behind their backs.
What those people don't know is that in fact, Yu Zizhen and Fang Huaiying have not gone for nothing.
What Yu Zizhen proposed, Xiao Yuanjin discussed with the emperor, and the father and son finally decided to listen to her and risk digging a tunnel in the eldest prince's bedroom.
No one knows how Yu Zizhen brought the tools in, and how he turned the excavated soil and stones into nothing, the eldest prince and his two henchmen only followed the drawings she gave every day, and when Yu Zizhen came to the eldest prince's side for lunch break and make-up classes, they hid together under the big bed in the eldest prince's dormitory and dug the soil.
They dig for at least three hours a day, and the intensity of their work makes them lose weight collectively in just a few days, but in this eventful autumn, their gradual thinning does not arouse anyone's suspicion.
Everyone who can enter this palace knows that the queen mother is seriously ill, and the emperor's good days are basically over, as long as the queen mother dies, the emperor and the eldest prince who is desperately protected by him will definitely be directly ended with an undignified death and a decent external statement.
I haven't seen Chen Hushan, who has always seen the fastest opportunity, although he has been coming to the palace to attend classes every day these days, but he has never followed Fang Huaiying and Yu Zizhen to the eldest prince's dormitory.
