The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 513 Jia Mansion's Armed Blocking

As soon as the Chang'an people arrived at Ningrong Street, they saw that the place was in chaos.

The streets were full of people, some seemed to flee from here, while more rushed forward.Groups of Jinyi soldiers are also rushing forward.

A few carriages came from the front, and the carriages were full of corpses of Jin Yijun.People on the street looked anxious and talked a lot.

"What happened in front? Go ask."

Chang'an didn't dismount, so Lichun rode forward, asked a few people on the road, and went forward again without stopping.

Lichun didn't come back, so Zuo Linliang inquired with the people next to him, and his complexion changed drastically in an instant.

"Your Highness, it's not good. The Jinyi Army came to search Jia's mansion and fought with the people of Jia's mansion."

"It's a fight, how could this be?"

Chang An's head suddenly became bigger.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

"Your Highness..."

"Don't be wordy, let's go."

As Chang An said, he patted his horse and left first.There were many pedestrians on the road, so Chang An whipped his horsewhip wildly, causing the pedestrians to dodge one after another.

Not far away, Lichun came back.

"Your Highness, it's not good. The Jinyi Army came to search Jia's mansion and fought with the people of Jia's mansion."

"Who else in Jia's house dares to fight with Jin Yijun?"

"Fourty or fifty people including Jia Lian and Jia Qiang, and more than twenty people like Shi Liu and Shi Song are all in front of the gate of Jia's mansion. The Jinyi Army has already killed 50 to 80 people, and there are corpses all over the ground."

Right here, there was another rattling sound ahead.

"People in Jia's house used firearms?"

"Yes. There is a chain gun set up at the door."

"Who is the Jinyi Army here?"

"Lead Sun Tongren."

"Come on, let's go."

The trio from Chang'an arrived not far from Jia's mansion, the place was already surrounded by Jinyi soldiers, there were hundreds of people, all of them were on alert with their bows and arrows.

Seeing Chang An approaching, they all made way for her to pass.

At the front, even though he was prepared, Chang An was still taken aback.

I saw Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, Shi Song, Shi Liu, etc. in front of the gate of Jia's mansion on the opposite side, all holding long guns.Behind the several sacks in the middle of the gate, there is a series of guns.

Chang'an had seen the serial blunderbuss of the Mansion Corps many times in Bukui, and had also seen its power during the battle to recover South Vendura.

However, this serial gun seems to be different from the past.It seems much smaller than before.

Just as Chang An was about to call Sun Tongren over, he saw a burst of bows and arrows from the Jinyi Army, and the rain of arrows drifted through the air, as if they were flying in the direction of Jia's mansion.

However, it seemed that the range was not enough, and they landed one after another without posing any threat to the opponent.

Then, the Jinyi Army launched a charge, and five or sixty people shouted and rushed up.

At their feet, dozens of corpses were already lying, and these people stepped forward on the corpses of their companions.

After rushing to the middle, the serial blunderbuss on the opposite side rang, and the long blunderbuss in the hands of the Jia mansion also started shooting.

The sound of da da da seems to be very light.With the gunshots, Jin Yijun fell down one by one.

The remaining ten or so people ran back, and before reaching the place, they were shot and fell to the ground one by one. There were four or fifty people, and none of them came back alive.

"Idiot, if you charge like this, you will die in vain and ask Tongren Sun to come see me."

Chang An was a little out of breath.

After a while, Tongren Sun came running, sweating profusely and panting.

"Meet Your Highness."

"Sun Tongren, let me ask you, why is this so?"

"The Jia family rebelled."

"Why did you rebel?"

"Your Highness, I came here to search Jia's house on a humble order. Just as Qin Keqing was taken down, when he was about to take someone else, these gangsters came and beat us out of Jia's house, and we were beaten to death inside. More than 20 people were killed, and the low-ranking staff transferred reinforcements. I never thought that they would even use the serial guns. In a short while, more than 100 people were killed."

"Why did you come to search Jia's house?"

"This is the decree, Your Highness, please have a look."

After receiving the imperial decree, Changan saw a series of crimes listed above.

There are three main ones.

The first is Qin Keqing, the daughter of the abolished Prince Chengyi, who is hiding privately.The second is to hide Miaoyu, the daughter of the deposed king Mu Shi, and the third is to hide property for the Zhen family.

In addition, Jia Amnesty colludes with foreign officials and smuggles pig iron.Jia Zheng robbed people's daughters by force, resulting in death, called the children of aristocratic families to gather for gambling, Wang Xifeng privately released usury money, and illegally made profits.

"Are these things true?"

"Everything is true, and they themselves admit it."

"Sun Tongren, don't attack for now, I'll go talk to them."

"Your Highness must not go deep into the dangerous place. I have sent people to dispatch the red-clothed cannon, and I will definitely catch them all at that time."

"Tongren Sun, is Jia Min here?"

"No, Your Highness means..."

Sun Tongren hesitated.

"If Jia Min comes back in the future, how will you end up? Although his army regiment has been disbanded, most of those people have gone to Beihai now and regrouped under his command. The firearms you see today are still the same as the ones you saw back then. Is it?"

"It's different, it's much more powerful?"

"Today, we may be able to wipe out the Jia family, but what about the other families? Could it be that you killed them all?"

"But the Holy Majesty..."

"I will take care of everything. Don't worry, they won't do anything to me. Lichun, go tell Jia Lian that I'm going to talk to them."

Li Chun took off all the weapons on his body, held his hands high, and walked over.After talking to Jia Lian, Jia Lian brought her to the old lady.

At this time, there was a big chair in the middle of the gate, and the old lady was sitting in the chair, surrounded by eight servant girls, including Yuanyang and Hupo.

"Old Ancestor, His Highness Chang'an wants to come and talk to you."

"I heard that Chang'an is a sensible person. Brother Lian, let her come over, and I will listen to what she has to say."

When Lichun went back, the old lady spoke with a smile.

"Mandarin duck, Hu Po, are you afraid?"

"Old Ancestor, you are not afraid, and neither are we."

Yuanyang stood up straight, her words trembling.

"Silly girl, it's okay to be afraid, and there's nothing shameful about it. It's okay, at worst, let's go together, so that you don't stay here and others bully you. Don't worry, we are dead, brother Ming will come back to avenge us .”

While talking, Chang'an and Lichun came over.

"Chang'an has seen the old lady."

"You are Chang'an. I have always heard the children talk about you, and everyone has a good opinion of you. Now that I see you, it is true. Today, our two families have torn our faces, so I will not treat you as your highness. .”

"The old lady just treat me as a junior."

"Hehe, I don't dare to take it seriously. You know why your brother raided my house?"

"Understood, maybe there is some misunderstanding?"

"There's no misunderstanding. Those things were all done by my family. The things about Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, Miaoyu's affairs, and Zhen's family's affairs were all taken care of by me back then."

"I don't understand. The two daughters of the deposed king are just babies. Why do you have to kill them all? Then Qin Keqing is from your family. I, an outsider, can take her in and protect her. Why does your family want to kill her?" Can't tolerate a way out for her?"

"Your grandfather has been to Zhen's house four times. How much money does Zhen's family have to fill this hole? There are hundreds of people in the family, but they just want to keep some money to survive. Why do they have to force them to die?"

"My eldest daughter entered the palace in her teens. She kept herself safe, virtuous and reasonable, and devoted herself to serving the late emperor. Why can't she be spared?"

"Okay, we've put up with this, and now even my house has been copied, and we're all sent to prison and beheaded."

"Hehe, your brother is really capable. Now San Francisco is treating him like a fool. The country is about to disappear, but he is lucky. He is still here to play with his own people. He is really capable."

"It doesn't matter if my family is destroyed. When your family is in trouble, you can see who else will come forward to help you."

"I'll also tell you the truth. I've already explained to the children. I'm sitting here, and I'll die with you today. Anyone who wants to take another person from my family must step over our corpses."

"I have already sent someone to report to Brother Min, hehe, when he comes back, he will naturally settle accounts with your family."

"There is one more thing, I might as well tell you. You send people to the three families of King Dongping to see if their family members are still there? Everyone has run away, and you are still kept in the dark."

"How did you know?"

"How do I know? Almost the whole city knows about it, but your family doesn't know about it. Okay, I'll tell you everything that needs to be said, and you can fight if you want. Today, our Jia family will fight with you It's all over together."

"Brother Lian, tell the children that they are all members of the Fubingtuan. Don't embarrass your ancestors, and don't embarrass Brother Min. I will accompany you here. When we arrive in the underworld, we will go on the road together."

"Don't be impatient, old lady, there may be other ways to resolve this matter."

"Any other way? Tell me, what else can you do?"

"I can be a hostage for you, and you take me away from the imperial capital."

The old lady didn't speak immediately, but looked at Chang'an with great interest.

"Well, you're a nice girl. No wonder they say that you are the only loving and righteous person in your family. Just for your words, I can ask brother Ming to let you live in the future."

"However, I don't agree with you being our hostage. Our Jia family would rather die than do such cowardly things like blackmailing people."

"Old ancestor...,"

When Chang'an was talking to the old lady, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Jia She, Jia Zheng and others gathered over.

Seeing that Chang An said that he was willing to be a hostage, he was tempted.Before anyone else spoke, Mrs. Xing was the first to speak, meaning to ask the ancestors to accept Chang'an's request.

Before she could finish speaking, the old lady yelled loudly.

"Shut up! It's just a death, how many years, what's the big deal, why do you want to leave a bad name, just live on mediocrity, and be looked down upon by others?"

Seeing that the old lady was angry, no one dared to speak anymore.

"Chang'an, now I'm going to talk about two paths. One is that you go to your brother and tell him to take back his life and let us leave here. The other is that we die together. You can choose one."

"Don't be impatient, I'll go back and find Brother Huang."

Chang An didn't hesitate, turned around and left.In the past, I explained a few words to Sun Tongren, told him to wait here, not to act rashly, and went back to the palace.

The old lady here took Jia Yan into her arms and stroked his head with her hand.

"My good great-great-great-grandson, don't be afraid, someone will come to rescue your mother in the future."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Wang Xifeng again.

"Brother Feng, go ask someone to cook, I'm a little hungry, everyone should eat, even if you die, you can't be a starving ghost."

"Yes, my ancestor."

Wang Xifeng left with tears in her eyes.

"All of you give me some energy, Brother Min will avenge us if we die. What are you afraid of?"

"Besides, let me tell you a secret. When I was Daiyu's age, I was nicknamed Daredevil. Let's see what you guys have done, throw some scrap iron, throw a few dice I just committed a crime, and I feel ashamed for you.”
