The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 516 There will be no Rongning Second Mansion from now on
The battle between the Jia Mansion and the Jinyi Army became the hottest topic in the imperial capital that day. For a while, both the government and the people were discussing it.

People were amazed at Jia's courage and powerful fighting power, and even more amazed at the final outcome.

Of course, everyone knew that it was Her Royal Highness Princess Chang'an who came forward to intercede for Jia's mansion, which resulted in this final result.

The next day, many people rushed to Ningrong Street, some went to inquire about the news, and some wanted to go to Jia's mansion to see the excitement.

There are also some people who have been in contact with Jia's mansion and want to take this opportunity to go to Jia's mansion and inquire about the details.

However, when they arrived, they discovered that the masters of the Jia Mansion had already left early in the morning.

Where the people from Jia's mansion went, these people don't know.But then people realized that Jia's departure was inevitable.

If you dare to challenge the royal family publicly, if you stay in the imperial capital in the future, it will be equivalent to challenging the emperor every day, deliberately slapping the emperor in the face, and it will be a matter of time before you are inspected again.

Therefore, it is very wise for the Jia family to leave.

In the afternoon, the news came out.The emperor decreed that the titles of Rong Guogong and Ning Guogong of the Jia family should be cut off.

Just when people were expecting who would become the new Duke Rong and Duke Ning, there was nothing to say.

It turned out that the emperor did not newly confer Duke Rong and Duke Ning.

So far, it can be confirmed that from now on, there will be no Duke Rong and Duke Ning.

The next day there was news that, like Rong Guogong and Ning Guogong, the titles of Zhenguogong, Liguogong, Zhiguogong, and Qiguogong were also cut off.There is also no one to succeed the title.

On the third day, the plaques on the gates of the six state residences were removed.

With the confiscation of the six princes' mansions, the system of four kings and eight princes established since the founding of the Dade Dynasty officially collapsed.

This marks the end of an era.

As for the fate of the remaining four kings and the two princes, anyone with a little bit of knowledge actually knows it in their hearts, but no one has said it publicly.

The cleansing of the mansions of the six kingdoms caused great panic in the imperial capital, especially among the major families.They worry that the same fate will happen to them.

Except for Rong Guogong and Ning Guogong, the property of the other four families was confiscated.

Therefore, all the families who have no idea are busy selling their property these days, and some people have already sent their family members away first, and began to prepare for the future.

Some wealthy merchants also began to stop or reduce their business in the imperial capital, and gradually withdrew from the imperial capital.

The evacuation of these people soon showed consequences.

The prices of real estate and shops have dropped, the cash in the ticket number has decreased, and some banknotes cannot be cashed.It became difficult to hire a car, and the driver was nowhere to be found.Some craftsmen's shops closed and people left.

Gold and silver became tighter and prices kept rising.There are more minions, but the price has dropped.Although it has dropped, no one seems to be buying it anymore.

The most obvious is that food prices began to rise.Many families began to rush to buy food.Some rice shops also began to stock up.

Although the official warehouse has begun to release grain, trying to stabilize grain prices, but with little success.

At the same time, rumors about the escape of San Francisco family members and the imminent rebellion of San Francisco have been publicly discussed in the streets and alleys.

Although the Jinyi Army and Wucheng Bingma Si have arrested many people and tried to quell the rumors, the spread of news is still getting worse day by day.

It turned out that it was just the panic and uneasiness of some big families, but it has begun to spread to the level of ordinary people.Some people also began to flee the imperial capital.

In order to reduce this panic, Tianyou Tianzi decreed that the residents of the imperial capital were strictly prohibited from leaving the imperial capital.

Jinyi Army, Wucheng Bingma Division, and Shuntian Mansion have been busy intercepting the outflow of people in the past few days.

Even so, some people managed to escape.

Different from the chaotic situation in the imperial capital, Jia's group who fled the imperial capital first had a relatively smooth journey.

This group included 50 people brought back from Beihai by Jia Qiang, plus more than 20 people from Shi Song and Shi Liu who were instructors in Chang'an, more than 40 masters and servants of Jia's mansion, and a few masters and servants of Xue family and Shi family. 130 people.

They boarded a ship from Tianjinwei and landed at Niuzhuang. They traveled almost day and night all the way, and finally arrived at Yangmingbao Military Platform on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month.

Jia Lian took two people to the front station and arrived here one day in advance.I met Yang Dezhan, Commander of Yangmingbao Military Station.

Yang Dezhan suggested that Jia Lian go to the Sun's house. Despite Jia Lian's hesitation, he went with Yang Dezhan to meet the old man of the Sun family.

It has been snowing heavily since yesterday, and it hasn't stopped. Even if Jia's family arrived at Yangmingbao, it was impossible to continue on their way due to snow blocking the road. Therefore, the Sun family warmly invited Jia's family to Sun's house for the New Year.After the new year, go north again.

The next day, the Jia family braved the heavy snow and trekked hard to finally arrive at Sun's house.

The Sun family had already arranged board and lodging, so far, after coming out of the imperial capital, the Jia family and their party could rest in peace.

Not long after Yang Dezhan came back from the reception banquet held by Sun's family for the people of Jia's family, more than [-] riders came from the military platform.

These people came from the north. Although none of them were wearing military uniforms, Yang Dezhan could tell from their behavior that they were a group of soldiers, and they were soldiers full of murderous intent.

There are not many soldiers like this. In the past few years, Yang Dezhan has only seen such soldiers from Jia Min's army regiment.

When the group of people stopped outside, they seemed to be vigilant all the time, and they seemed to respond immediately to any abnormality.

A young man in his twenties walked in.

"Excuse me, is the order of Yang Jun Tai here?"

It was already the Chinese New Year at this time, and there were no military horses or officials passing by in the military platform, so he was a lot more relaxed than usual.

When there is nothing to do, most people disperse, some go to the market to watch the excitement, some visit relatives and friends, and most of them at home eat wine and play cards.

Therefore, when Yang Dezhan was at home, he often watched by himself to see if he had any business to do.

When the person who came in asked, he happened to ask Yang Dezhan's head.

"I am, may I ask you...?"

"My surname is Wei, and my name is Wei Ruoshui. We are rushing to the imperial capital. Our Chief Min told me that when we arrive at Yangming Fort, we must stop here and greet Yang Juntai for him."

"Is Huaiyuan alright?"

"Officer Min is very good, thank you for your concern. We plan to stay here for one night today and leave tomorrow when the heavy snow stops. Is it convenient?"

"It's convenient. It's convenient for the people of Chief Min to come anytime. I'll ask someone to arrange accommodation and food for you immediately."

"Then thank you Yang Juntai Ling. There is one more thing I want to ask Yang Juntai Ling."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Did you find a group of people from the imperial capital recently? They are the family members of Chief Min."

"Hehe, what a coincidence, they just arrived today, and they were escorted by Captain Jia Lian and Battalion Commander Jia Qiang."

"Where are people now?"

"I just settled down at Sun's house today, and I just came back from drinking there."

"Is the group all right?"

"Very good, the old lady is in good spirits, chatting and laughing happily, and the family is not depressed. The journey is quite smooth. We have heard about the affairs of Jia's mansion before, and dare to fight with the Jinyi Army. It's admirable."

"Can Tailing Yang take me to Sun's house?"

"Of course. But, don't worry, you settle down with me first, and it won't be too late to take you there."

"Thank you for that."

"You're welcome, Huaiyuan and I are close friends, every time we pass by, he always comes to my place for a drink."

After a group of people settled down in the Military Terrace, Wei Ruo and Yang De occupied the Sun's house after eating hastily. They met Jia Lian and Jia Qiang, chatted a little, and they went to see the old lady together.

"Old ancestor, this is Wei Ruoshui, he came back from the fourth brother Min."

"Oh, Wei Ruoshui, you are the third child of the Wei family, right?"

"The old ancestor has a really good memory. I am the third child of the Wei family."

"Is Brother Ming okay there? Are the girls okay there?"

"Don't worry, the old ancestors. The girls are all well. Ms. Xue, Miaoyu, and Ms. Lin have all gone back safely. Aunt Ping'er and Ms. Shen have also arrived in Beihai. Now I am waiting for you to go. The house is ready. .”

"Oh? How did you know we were going too?"

"When I came back, I met Jia Ping. I knew about the affairs in the mansion, but I didn't expect you to come out so soon."

"Could it be that Brother Ming knew something was going to happen to our family?"

The old lady is not confused.

"I don't know. He was afraid that Jia Qiang would bring too few people for his needs, so he asked me to bring another twenty people back to support Jia Qiang. Unexpectedly, he met Jia Ping first, and then came here again. Met you guys."

"That's fine, there is no one in our family anymore in the imperial capital. If we meet this time, you can go back with us."

"Old ancestor, you can go your own way, and it will be fine for the second brother Lian to escort you. We still have to go to the imperial capital."

"What are you going to do in the imperial capital at this time?"

"Isn't Grandma Rong still there? Let's go and rescue her."

"That's great, but how many people do you bring to save?"

"More than twenty people."

"Twenty people?"

Not only the old lady was suspicious, but even the rest of the Jia family were also suspicious.

More than [-] people are about to go to the imperial capital to save people, isn't it a bit of a joke?
"Old ancestor, his more than twenty people are all special forces members, and they can be as good as a hundred. As long as they go, they will surely save Brother Rong's daughter-in-law."

Jia Lian explained it.

"Oh, I hope so. However, when you get there, you have to be careful. If it doesn't work, don't force it, lest you lose your life in vain, and it will make my family even more uneasy."

"Don't worry, the ancestors, we will play by ear."

"What exactly is Brother Ming doing in Beihai?"

"Oh, he's fighting there now."

"Why are you fighting again? Who are you fighting this time?"

"Fight two families, one is the Cossacks, the other is the Ross Empire."

"Who is that Cossack?"

"It's also a group of grassland cavalry."

"Hey, look, Brother Ming fights with prairie cavalry as soon as he goes to war. It seems like he's addicted to it."

"It's not that we are willing to fight with them. If they provoke us, we have to fight them."

"Hey, in business, it's better to be kind and make money. Don't keep fighting. By the way, why are you fighting with Rakshasa? Isn't Rakshasa from the underworld? Why did you defeat the underworld in this battle? Could it be that Brother Min has switched to catching ghosts now?"

"Hehe, my ancestor, it's not Rakshasa, it's the Ross Empire, fighting in the underworld, not the underworld. Although this Ross has fewer people than our Dade, the territory is not smaller than our Dade. It is also a very powerful opponent."

"Look, I said Brother Ming is a restless person, even if he dares to provoke such a big man, he is not afraid of anything. Alas, it is really worrying."

"The ancestors don't have to worry, they can't beat us."

"Okay, I don't worry about it anymore. Now I just think, when I get to Beihai, don't leave my little life there."

After the old lady finished speaking, she turned to Jia Zheng again.

"When you get there, you, as an old man, also talk about Brother Min, telling him not to beat this one and that one all the time. Let's all stay together and live in harmony, isn't it good?"

"Yes, mother."

Jia Zheng knew a little about the Cossacks and Ross in the yamen.

He promised with his mouth, but he still murmured in his heart.

He even dares to fight Ross and Cossacks, how can I persuade him?When did he hear me?
