Chapter 3
As soon as Bai Lu left, the officers and soldiers rushed in on the back.

It was a sure thing, no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless. Jiang Zhimiao took a deep breath, held Mingzhu Minghuai and followed the officers and soldiers out the door.

The Jiang family has a large population. At this moment, they stood there with their heads lowered and shivering.

In the courtyard, a woman in dark green clothes shook off the hand that was holding her, with sharp eyes: "Wang Zhi, do you know who I am? Just detain me, this is the Marquis' Mansion, and you are not allowed to be free."

Seeing her being so rebellious, the officers and soldiers smiled and said: "Return to the Marquis Mansion, His Majesty has issued an order. The Jiang family will be imprisoned from now on and exiled to the far north. Why are they putting on such a stinky air? They think they are from the past." The Jiang family?" After saying this, the man sneered.

"You are talking nonsense. My father-in-law is a loyal and brave prince personally named by His Majesty. You are talking nonsense. It is impossible, impossible. It must be false. You, you will go to jail for spreading rumors." The woman pointed at the man and scolded.

The man glanced at her coldly and smiled: "I have nothing to do to spread rumors and cause trouble? You don't even think about it. If His Majesty hadn't agreed, we wouldn't have dared to come to the Marquis Mansion to act arrogantly."

Listening to the man's strange words, the woman couldn't hold it in anymore and wanted to have a fit. However, she was quickly stopped by a girl wearing a pink dress.

"Mom, since the official said this, it must not be groundless. Let's wait and see what happens before making any plans." The girl grabbed the woman's body and looked at her seriously.

When she finished speaking, she lowered her eyelashes and stepped forward with a slight smile: "Sir, my mother is impatient. It was just an unintentional act. Please don't take offense."

The man rolled his eyes at her, unmoved: "It was an unintentional move, I think it was intentional, haha."

The girl stiffened, with tears in her eyes, biting her lip, her look very pitiful. The man's heart moved, and with a wave of his hand, the matter was settled.

The girl suddenly looked happy and took the woman aside.

"Okay, stop making trouble, let's listen to what the old Marquis has to say first." The old woman shouted, and then looked hopefully at the upright man standing aside.

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and everyone cast expectant glances at the man at the front.

When the man heard this, his waist that had been upright just now slowly stooped, his lips trembled slightly, and he didn't say a word. Everyone saw what they didn't understand, and their inner uneasiness reached the extreme, and they immediately burst into tears. made a sound.

For a time, the sound of crying and cursing continued one after another, and a large area was fainted from crying in the surrounding area.

After the leading guard checked the number of people, he reported the situation to the eunuch who was announcing the edict. After finishing his words, he raised his voice to receive the edict. When everyone heard the sound, their crying gradually stopped, and they immediately knelt down.

The eunuch wearing a python suit and green, ruby ​​and emerald nodded with satisfaction, then slowly opened the imperial edict and read it out.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict. It has now been found out that the Zhongyong Hou Mansion colluded with the rebels of the previous dynasty to seek the throne. The evidence is now conclusive. All properties of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion have been confiscated. In consideration of Zhongyong Hou's past achievements, the Jiang family members are now sentenced to be exiled to the Far North. This is the land. Please thank me, Marquis Zhongyong. His Majesty sentenced you to exile because of your kindness in assisting him. You must thank me." The leading eunuch closed the imperial edict and said with a smile.

Jiang Cheng, the grandfather of the Jiang family, pursed his lips and stepped forward to receive the order. His voice was slightly bleak, "I accept the order."

"Now that Marquis Zhongyong has accepted the order, the Za family has started to do business. Xiaoliu, along with the guards, ransacked the house and searched the body! All the official slaves recorded in the register were brought to the government, unified, and asked the guards to surround the Marquis' mansion! Look! It's tight, no bird can be let go! Lord Marquis, the Za family will be offended." The leading eunuch said with a sneer.

Hearing these words, the crying that had subsided just now became louder again. For a moment, there was a lot of excitement, crying, and dizziness everywhere.However, the lady who searched you didn't care whether you were really dizzy or fake, she just walked up to you and searched everywhere.

The woman who searched the body was very experienced. Nothing, including shoe soles and bellybands, escaped her claws. She left no money wherever she went. In a short time, thousands of taels of silver notes were found and piled aside.

She looked at the cowering crowd, supported her waist with both hands, and taunted her lips: "You still want to play tricks on my mother-in-law, and you don't even look at who I am. If you are wise, you just use the banknotes you have hidden in your pocket." Hand them all over to me, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Everyone still lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything. Seeing this, the mother-in-law sneered in her heart. She stopped talking nonsense and stepped forward directly.

The weight loss was very fast, and Jiang Zhimiao and others were found in a short time.

She had no money, so she was naturally not afraid of being searched. Seeing her calm and composed appearance, even the well-informed woman was stunned. She searched carefully, and when she found nothing, she walked towards the next person. .

After searching Xu Yourong, they arrived in front of Mingzhu Minghuai. Jiang Zhimiao had explained in advance that the two little ones were relatively stable, so he opened his arms and let the woman search, but naturally found nothing.

Seeing this, the mother-in-law continued to search for the next person. After a quarter of an hour, the activity ceased, and the mother-in-law's feet were piled with hidden banknotes.

She gathered the banknotes together, held them in both hands, and handed them to the leading eunuch. The eunuch glanced at the banknotes in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and then put them in his lapel.

The people below were angry but dared not speak, and stared at him hatefully. The eunuch ignored everyone's looks and directly ordered the guards to take them to the prison.

The already pale faces of everyone in the Jiang family turned even paler, and they followed the officers and soldiers out of the house in despair.

Jiang Zhimiao was speechless when she encountered the scene of confiscation and exile as soon as she came back. She followed everyone out with a confused look on her face, carefully searching for information about the Jiang family. Over the years, except for her own family, she really couldn't remember much. Cleared.

There was a flash of white light, and all the things that had been forgotten before came to mind one by one.
