Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 106 [106] Daiyu meets Liu Xianglian
Jia Chen ordered Jia Yucun to send yamen servants to arrest Mrs. Wang in the yamen of Yingtianfu.

Jia Yucun didn't want to do this at first, after all, his official position as the magistrate of Yingtian Mansion was obtained by Jia Zheng using his connections.

But Jia Chen is the imperial envoy.

His words represent His Majesty today.

Jia Yucun dared not refuse.

When Jia Yucun personally led the yamen servants, they rushed into the Jia family's ancestral home in Jinling.

Jia Zheng also took the initiative to greet him, and asked in surprise:
"What business does my nephew come here for? Why did you bring so many government servants?"

A little guilt appeared on Jia Yucun's face, but after a moment of silence, he widened his eyes and said sharply:
"Second Uncle, the lower officials have been ordered to arrest Second Aunt and bring her back to the Yamen for interrogation."

Jia Zheng suddenly turned pale with shock, and asked:
"Who ordered my nephew? What crime did Zhuo Jing commit?"

Naturally, Jia Yucun didn't dare to confess Jia Chen, so he only evaded in a vague way:
"This matter must be kept secret, please forgive my nephew for not disclosing it."

Jia Zheng asked anxiously:
"Can the clumsy thorn be released?"

Jia Yucun said ambiguously:

"It should be possible, Uncle Er, don't worry, I will try my best to help Zhou Xuan!"

Jia Zheng secretly stuffed a five hundred tael silver note into Jia Yucun's hand.

"I'll leave this matter to my nephew. After the matter is completed, there will be a big thank you!" Jia Zheng whispered.

"My nephew will do my best!" Jia Yucun promised with a strong promise.

Mrs. Wang is the younger sister of Wang Ziteng, the envoy of the Jingying Jiedu. Even if Jia Yucun doesn't care about the Jia family's face, it also cares about Wang Ziteng's face.

Of course, how Mrs. Wang will deal with it in the end depends on what the imperial envoy, Jia Chen, wants.

In front of the imperial envoys, let alone the four major families, even the prince has to obey orders honestly.

Because the imperial envoy has Tianxian in his mouth, which represents His Majesty today, holding the Shangfang sword, he can cut first and then play.

Mrs. Wang was put in shackles by the yamen servants, she was so frightened that she wept bitterly, and shouted repeatedly:
"I'm the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, and also the daughter-in-law of the Wang family. How dare you picky bastards break ground on Tai Sui's head? Let me go!"

Although she howled, no one answered him.

The yamen servants dragged the chains and dragged her out.

Jia Zheng tremblingly said:
"How can you be so rude?"

Jia Yucun waved at the servants and said:
"Be polite!"

"Yes!" The yamen servants responded and stopped their brutal dragging movements.

Mrs. Wang begged Jia Zheng for help:
"Master, save me!"

Jia Zheng sighed helplessly:

"You first respond to the Tianfu Yamen with Yucun to cooperate with the interrogation, and I will find a way."

As he said that, he winked at Mrs. Wang. In fact, he wanted to say that Jiayu Village belongs to us, but there are yamen servants next to him, so it is inconvenient to say so.

Jia Yucun didn't stay any longer, because he couldn't guarantee that Mrs. Wang would be released. If he continued to stay here, he would only be trapped in an atmosphere of embarrassment and guilt.

At this time, Jia Chen was standing in front of a window, watching Jia Yucun escort Mrs. Wang away, with a slight smile on his lips.

If Jia Zheng asks Jia's mother for help, Jia's mother can rescue Mrs. Wang from the prison of Yingtian Mansion through the relationship of Jianguo.

But Jia Chen will not let Jia Zheng and Jia Mu get what they want easily.

He will report this matter to His Majesty today.

In this way, Emperor Chongrui will definitely be disappointed with Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang's illegal behavior of filling her own pocket may even implicate Jia Zheng.

Even if Jia Zheng won't lose his official position, it is estimated that Jia's mother will not let Mrs. Wang show her face again because of Rongfu's reputation.

In this way, Mrs. Wang will no longer be able to continue to be in charge of the family, and her threat to Lin Daiyu will be greatly reduced.

At this time, a young servant rushed to the ancestral house of Rongfu on a fast horse and reported to Jia Shehui:
"My lord, there are bandits in the city of Shenjing. Please wait for my lord and masters to return to Beijing to avoid accidents."

The boy had been on the road for nearly a month, but he didn't know that the bandits had captured the Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Chen on the side also heard the news, and he immediately said:

"Uncle Lian, Second Brother Lian, I'll go back to Shenjing City first and say goodbye!"

After finishing speaking, he hurried back to the house to collect the gold and silver, and rushed out of Jinling City on horseback, heading north all the way.

The reason for being so anxious is mainly because of Lin Daiyu's safety, and because Liu Xianglian, Bao Yong, and Wang Lang are escorting their treasure back to the city of God. If they encounter bandits after entering the city, the treasure will surely fall to the bandits hands.

Jia Chen changed several fast horses along the way, hoping to catch up with the bodyguard team led by Liu Xianglian.

On the other side, Lin Daiyu led Jiamu and Dai Quan out of Rongqing Hall.

The bandits swarmed up like a swarm of locusts.

Fortunately, Lin Daiyu's swordsmanship is superb, and she has used the Wudang Seven Star Sword to the extreme.

Lin Daiyu was originally a kind-hearted person, but in this life-and-death crisis, she didn't care about being merciful, and she shot ruthlessly and made fatal moves.

Moments later, there were more than a dozen corpses lying around.

Lin Daiyu's dress was splattered with blood, and her pretty face was also covered with blood, as if she was a female Rakshasa crawling out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

The gangsters were shocked by her fierce and ruthless skills, and for a while, no one dared to surround her again.

Lin Daiyu took the opportunity to lead Jia Mu and Dai Quan to fight a bloody road and rush out of the west corner gate of Jia's mansion.

As soon as he went out, he happened to see Lai Daxiang, the chief housekeeper of the Rong Mansion, fleeing for his life in a carriage.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu was furious and scolded:
"You foolish slave, how dare you run for your life alone?"

Lai Da got out of the carriage in a hurry and kowtowed to Jiamu and Lin Daiyu to apologize.

Mother Jia waved her hand and said:

"I'll deal with you later, quickly help me into the carriage, and leave here first!"

Lai Daru was amnesty, and together with Lin Daiyu hurriedly helped Jiamu and Dai Quan into the carriage.

Lin Daiyu jumped into the carriage and ordered Lai Da to be in charge of driving.

At this time, a group of bandits chased out from the west corner gate.

Lai Da hurriedly waved his whip, and galloped away with the carriage.

Two legs could not run on four, and the bandits were soon left far behind.

Through the window of the carriage, Lin Daiyu found that bandits were everywhere in the entire city of Shenjing.

The gangsters fought with the officers and soldiers, and the sounds of weapons colliding, shouts of killing, cursing and howling were mixed together, and the whole capital seemed to have become a Shura hell.

Rivers of blood flowed, corpses piled up like mountains.

In fact, although the Jingying Jiedu envoy Wang Ziteng led most of the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp to the northern border to rescue Lin Danhan who was attacked by Huang Taiji, the defense of the capital was empty.

But now the soldiers and horses in the capital are not without the ability to suppress banditry. In addition to the [-] Jingying troops staying in the capital, there are also [-] Jinyi guards in Shenjing.

However, among the more than [-] refugees in Shenjing City, more than [-] people have become bandits. For his own safety, Emperor Chongrui ordered the Jingying army and Jinyiwei to guard all around the palace, and only sent a small number of soldiers to encircle the bandits. Naturally, this situation has been created.

Seeing that the whole city of Shenjing is no longer safe, Lin Daiyu suggested to Jiamu:
"Old Ancestor, we have to leave Shenjing City. It just so happens that Uncle and Uncle are both in Jinling City. Why don't we go south to Jinling and join them?"

Jia Mu said:
"A good idea is up to you."

Lai Da drove the carriage along the official road, all the way south.

More than ten days later, when passing through a forest, they encountered another group of bandits.

There were hundreds of bandits in this group, and it was difficult for Lin Daiyu to deal with it alone.

Fortunately, the dart team led by Liu Xianglian happened to pass by.

Liu Xianglian, Bao Yong and Wang Lang are all chivalrous men, upon seeing this, they immediately led a team of escorts to rescue them.

Everyone worked together to kill the bandits.

Liu Xianglian knew Jiamu and Lin Daiyu, and exchanged pleasantries with them.

Mother Jia thanked Liu Xianglian, but how did she know that the treasure that Liu Xianglian's bodyguard escorted was her private money hidden in Jinling City.
