Wei and Jin Cooks

   Chapter 51 Slap

  The still sleeping mansion came back to life shortly after Zhao Zhongyu's order.

  People got up in a hurry, and turned off the lights in the corridors and courtyards one by one. They didn't dare to light the lights in the house. Only groups of people carrying white lanterns gathered outside the mourning hall.

   Once everyone arrived, they also put out the lanterns in their hands.

  Only the candles were still burning in the mourning hall, and the courtyard was completely silent. No one dared to speak, but people were panicked. From time to time, there were whispers of female relatives and children.

Zhao Zhongyu and Zhao Hanzhang dispatched the guards to guard the door and patrol, and they came together. Wang Shi, who had been close to Zhao Erlang, saw her, and his heart dropped heavily, and tears couldn't help falling, "Three. mother……"

   She went up to be next to her.

   Zhao Hanzhang patted her hand comfortably, took her back to Zhao Erlang, and handed over the home game to Zhao Zhongyu.

   Zhao Zhongyu looked at the family gathered here and felt the heavy burden on his shoulders for the first time.

   He had to keep so many people alive.

   He pondered for a moment, and said, "I don't know who is making trouble outside, but your Majesty is here, and the King of the East Sea is here. I forgive these chaotic soldiers that they won't last long."

"And what we have to do is to maintain ourselves during this period of time, and wait for the East Sea King to pacify the chaos. From now on, we will close the door tightly, do not make noise, and do not make fire. Everyone is here to listen. If anyone deliberately makes a noise Don't blame me for not being sympathetic."

  The crowd responded in unison.

   Zhao Ji stepped forward and whispered, "Father, should the candles in the mourning hall go out?"

   When Zhao Zhongyu heard this, he burst into anger and slapped him in the face, "Nizi!"

   Zhao Ji lowered his head.

Zhao Zhongyu's face was ashen, and after looking at the mourning hall for a while, he said: "Go get a thicker cloth, cover the inside with a layer of cloth, cover the outside with oil cloth, and wrap the entire mourning hall. Be careful when you act, and turn off a light. I broke your leg."

   Zhao Ji replied in a low voice, and led a group of servants to get the cloth and cover it.

Wang Shi couldn't help crying while holding his handkerchief, pulled Zhao Hanzhang and Zhao Erlang to kneel in front of the spirit, and whispered resentment: "Sanniang, you are right, your uncle can't be relied on, he actually wants to live for a living. About to break the soul of your grandfather, I have never seen such a vicious person."

   Wang shivered with anger. If Zhao Hanzhang had not held her tightly just now, she would have stepped forward and tore Zhao Ji.

Zhao Zhongyu was so angry that his hands trembled, he barely suppressed the anger in his heart, walked to the spirit with a sullen face, first put a stick of incense on Zhao Changyu, and then said to the mother and son who were kneeling in front of the spirit: " Ji Zhi was frightened, and this made him confused, his nephew and daughter-in-law should not be angry, I will punish him severely when this is over."

   Mrs Wang wiped away her tears and could only respond.

   Zhao Zhongyu sighed and said to Zhao Hanzhang, "Sanniang, please comfort your mother."

   Zhao Hanzhang is not an ancient person, and his feelings are not so deep, but he can see Zhao Zhongyu's face blue with anger, thinking that in this era, the issue of extinguishing the candles is very important.

   She hugged Wang's shoulder and patted her back soothingly.

  The family members gathered here. After finding the cloth, they moved very quickly. The mourning hall was quickly covered up, the candlelight was hidden in the room, and the air was not well circulated. It was uncomfortable for people to stay inside.

   Zhao Hanzhang was afraid that the rebels would be suffocated before they came.

   So I persuaded Wang to go out and let them stay in the yard,

   She asked people to open the doors and windows, spread the tarpaulin, and use wooden boards to block the leaking light, so that there was a hole for the air to enter the house.

  The family stayed in the yard listening to the increasingly louder and closer screams of killing.

   The servants crowded the servants, and the people in the big room were all around Zhao Hanzhang. The Wang family was the most timid.

   Zhao Erlang was ignorant and ignorant, but he also felt the panic of the adults. He also leaned on his mother and sister a little scared, but it didn't take long for his eyelids to become heavy, and he fell asleep leaning on Wang.

   In the whole yard, apart from those little ignorant children, he was the only one who could sleep.

  The people who lived near the Zhao family were slower, but after they found that the Zhao family next door had become pitch-dark, their house also became lively. In less than a quarter of an hour, the lights in the house were all extinguished, and it gradually became quiet.

   In the darkness, everyone was praying that the rebel army would not find their area.

  When the rebels and forbidden troops broke into the city, they either avoided it on purpose, or were scattered, and quickly scattered into the alleys of the city.

   They went straight to the place with the lights.

   The only people who can turn on the lights at night are the rich.

  The city soon heard screams and shouts of killing, some of which were very close to Zhao's house, and felt like they were just outside a wall.

   Zhao Hanzhang clenched her fists and listened with eyes like water. She looked at Zhao Zhongyu.

Zhao Zhongyu's face was also very ugly, he closed his eyes and rested, and when the sky was slightly bright, he opened his eyes and called the guards at home, "Send a few people to call Zhao Qianli, and let him take our department. Qudu is brought to Fuzhong."

   called Zhao Jidao again: "I want to go to the palace, and I will leave the house to you."

   He glanced at Zhao Ji calmly, and warned in a low voice: "Today is your uncle's first seven, the candles can't be extinguished, and if there is anything that can't be decided, discuss it with Sanniang."

She was the first to react last night, and the manpower management was not worse than him at all. In addition, the two of them had been dealing with each other during this period of time. Zhao Zhongyu vaguely understood why Zhao Changyu would take Zhao Erlang's family property as well. Give her a dowry.

   He whispered: "Under the chaos, only unity can save the family, remember?"

   Zhao Ji responded.

   Zhao Zhongyu went to change into a casual suit, brought a few guards and left quietly.

   He also has an official position. Now that the chaotic army has entered the city, he has to know who the enemy is and how he will deal with it. Otherwise, he will be like a headless fly.

   Zhao Zhongyu avoided the place where the fire was soaring into the sky and quickly approached the imperial city.

  The Zhao family was not far from the imperial city. Although he took a detour, he arrived very quickly. From a distance, he could see a chaotic army fighting against the Jin army and fighting on the streets.

   Seeing the military uniform on the chaotic army, he was slightly taken aback, "This is also... our Jin army?"

   A guard with sharp eyes said in a low voice, "Lord Lang, it seems to be the staff of the Prince of Hejian."

   "Isn't the Prince Hejian dead?" After Zhao Zhongyu finished speaking, he immediately realized that this was someone who was driving the Prince Hejian to stay, and the reasons were ready-made to avenge the Prince of Hejian!

   Zhao Zhongyu took a deep look at the battlefield, turned around and retreated into the alley, "Let's enter through another imperial city gate, let's go."

At the same time, Zhao Hanzhang was also dispatching his own people, "Uncle Cheng, you quietly send two people to the west of the city, where most of the poor live, the chaotic army will not go there for a while, let Yi Shichang lead everyone Go to Fu's house to pick up Fu Dalang, and send people to me."

   "Remember, you must ensure the safety of Lord Fu Dalang."

   Cheng Bo responded and quietly retreated.

   Zhao Ji was looking for someone irritably, "Where's Uncle Cheng? Why did he disappear after the wrong eye?"

   Zhao Hanzhang, who came out of the shadows, just pretended that he didn't see him, and his servant replied, "Uncle Cheng has gone to find food for Langjun's ladies. He can't make a fire, and he can't do many things in the kitchen."

   Zhao Ji then suppressed his breath.

   See you at 8pm
