Chapter 598 Big Faint【Part [-]】
Grand View Garden, Zhuijin Building.
Because she is Yingchun's official eldest sister-in-law, Wang Xifeng was arranged to preside over the internal and external affairs here - Li Wan went to Shi Xiangyun's Hengwu Courtyard.
She got up early in the first place, but now she sat on the bed with Yingchun in her arms and kept silent. She hurriedly talked to herself for a while, but she didn't find it interesting, so she simply entrusted Ping'er with the errand, and hid in the west by herself. Resting her forehead with her hands under the wall, Danfeng dozed off with her eyes half-opened and half-closed.
While half asleep and half awake, I suddenly heard the deafening sound of pedaling on the stairs.
She stood up in a jerk, and Yingchun also turned her head to look outside the door.
Not long after, the door knocked and was pushed open vigorously, and the waiter ran in from outside in a panic, shouting repeatedly: "It's not good, it's not good, something serious happened!"
Hearing this, Wang Xifeng looked at Yingchun first, and then went up to Yingchun with three points of helplessness and asked: "Why, could it be that our master has made some trouble again?"
"No, no!"
The servant panted and danced, "It's the second master, it's the second master Bao, he, he, he was captured by the dragon guards!"
"what?!"
Wang Xifeng was truly taken aback this time, even Yingchun, who was sitting on the bed, got up subconsciously, her beautiful eyes rounded in disbelief.
After being shocked, Wang Xifeng hurriedly grabbed the servant and asked: "What's going on, why did the good-looking Dragon Guard catch Brother Bao?"
"I do not know!"
The secretary shook his head: "I only heard that it was enshrined in the imperial edict, and the people of the Dragon Guards are currently encircling our mansion. I heard that all the servants related to the second master will be interrogated one by one - the third girl is afraid of the girl. We were frightened, so I want everyone to take shelter in the Hengwu courtyard first, it is secluded there, and there is only one way to go in and out."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xifeng asked again: "What about the wife? What does the wife say?"
"I heard that my wife passed out at the gate. Grandma rushed over in a hurry. It should be here by now."
Hearing that Mrs. Wang had fainted, Wang Xifeng could already imagine the scene of a mess in the front yard—although she had hoped that there would be some chaos at home so that she could set things right and turn the tide, but it wasn't this kind of chaos!
Immediately, she hurriedly called Ping'er and asked her to find a few mature mothers to go to the front yard to inquire about the news, and then without asking Yingchun's intentions, she hurriedly went to Hengwu yard to gather together.
There was a lot of fuss.
When they arrived at the Hengwu courtyard, Lin Daiyu and Xichun had already arrived, and the courtyard was crowded with many accompanying maids and servants, gathering in groups under the red lanterns, whispering to each other.
The glowing red candlelight reflected on their panicked and pale faces, not only did not infect the slightest bit of joy, but instead looked treacherous, like a murder scene.
Seeing this scene, Wang Xifeng frowned and coughed dryly.
There was only a little silence in the yard, but soon most of the people reverted to their old ways.
Wang Xifeng's willow eyebrows stood on end in anger, and she was about to say a few words when Tanchun and Lin Daiyu had already come out to greet them, so she ignored these unreasonable slaves and hurriedly asked: "What's going on?! How can you be such a good brother Bao? Just got caught?!"
Tanchun shook his head slightly, then suppressed his voice and said: "Although I don't know what happened, but it should have something to do with the second elder brother entering the palace to thank you yesterday."
As he spoke, he signaled Wang Xifeng and Yingchun to enter the room to talk.
When the four of them entered the main room, they saw Shi Xiangyun, the bride, standing in front of the door wearing a phoenix crown, and a red hijab on her head, but it was lifted to not cover her face—it was Xichun. Sitting in a corner, reciting Buddhist scriptures silently with eyes closed, there was no response to the arrival of my cousin sister-in-law.
Wang Xifeng also had no intention of haggling with her, and immediately asked: "He just entered the palace to thank him, at most he just had a few glasses of wine with the emperor, what could go wrong? Besides, he came out of the palace yesterday Wasn't he all right then?"
Everyone didn't know how to answer, and Tanchun replied in a deep voice: "I've thought about it, unless the emperor has some accident after drinking, and he can't be a director for the time being..."
"The emperor had an accident?"
Wang Xifeng was even more surprised now, she covered her mouth and said in surprise: "But, don't those dragon guards say that they received the holy order? If something happened to the emperor, how could it be..."
"Did sister-in-law forget?"
Tanchun raised his finger and pointed to the sky: "There is still a Supreme Emperor above. Isn't the decree issued by his old man not an imperial edict?"
"This this……"
Wang Xifeng's hands and feet were soft for a while, she has a strong personality, but it has nothing to do with it, if it really involves the safety of the emperor's body, what should this Baoyu and this Rongguo Mansion do? !
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, my random guess may not be accurate."
Seeing this, Tanchun hurriedly helped her to sit on the chair, and said: "What we can do right now is to keep quiet, Brother Jiao from the left and right will come to welcome the bride in a while, when he sees something wrong, he will naturally try to find out after all."
Hearing Jiao Shun's name, Wang Xifeng felt that she had a backbone.
But on second thought, isn't the enemy's backer the emperor?If the emperor really has something good or bad, what can he do if he comes?
…………
at the same time.
After the Dragon Guard briefly appeased Jia Zheng, he began to interrogate the relevant people non-stop - mainly the maids and servants around Jia Baoyu.
The first to bear the brunt is naturally the attack.
"Is there really nothing unusual?"
After asking again, the head lieutenant glanced at the confession recorded by his subordinates, tapped on the table with his fingers and said: "Miss, you better think clearly, if your current confession is related to Mr. Jia in the Zhenfu Division If there is anything wrong with your confession, then you have harmed him as well as yourself!"
The last sentence suddenly turned sharp, and Xiren shuddered in fright. He was about to shake his head to express that he was absolutely not lying, and then he heard the captain ask: "You said that you will help Mr. Jia dress and wash this morning, and then put him It was sent to the front—could it be that during this period, you have never said a word?"
"This...of course I said it."
"Then why didn't you confess?!"
The captain slapped the table and scolded: "Hurry up and follow the truth!"
"Actually, I didn't say anything."
Xiren stood in the middle of the room, with his two hands habitually folded in front of his lower abdomen, and blood marks were pinched on his palms nervously: "It was when I asked Musk Moon to get the hangover soup, the second master said something' Those who know me say I am worried, those who don't know me say what I want', I said that it doesn't matter if we can't guess your mind, someone with a heart will naturally come later."
After a pause, he hurriedly added an explanation: "I'm talking about the second grandma who will pass right away!"
But the school lieutenant obviously didn't care about this, but asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Jia, what are you worried about? Today is his big day, why would he say such a thing? Isn't this unusual?"
"This this……"
The attacker was at a loss for what to do, and said anxiously: "Our second master is just talking casually. If your lord doesn't believe it, just go and ask. Our second master often says some inexplicable things, everyone knows it!"
"so……"
The school lieutenant looked at her playfully: "Mr. Jia has always been different from ordinary people?"
"No!"
Xiren didn't care about the Long Guards who were all armed with live ammunition in front of him, and argued excitedly: "I didn't mean that, don't spout blood!"
"Hmm, girl, don't worry."
The school lieutenant raised his hand and pressed it, then asked again: "Back to what you said just now, what do you think Mr. Jia is worried about? When did you start worrying? Was it before entering the palace or after entering the palace?" ?”
Seeing that he was holding on to the word 'worried', Xiren was afraid that Baoyu would be harmed if he didn't tell the truth, so he said dejectedly: "Actually, our second master has another girl he loves, that's why he said such words on the day of our wedding. .”
"Ok?"
The school lieutenant raised his eyebrows, as if he had discovered some important clue, and immediately asked: "So, Mr. Jia is actually quite resistant to the emperor's marriage?"
Xiren can understand this when he thinks of it?
He was speechless at the moment, and then said angrily after a long while: "How is it possible, you, you... our second master is innocent, you can't recklessly wrong good people!!"
"Hmm."
The captain nodded slightly, and said to the subordinate who was in charge of recording: "Let her sign the signature first."
But the attacker refused to obey, even calling for injustice.
The captain asked back: "Could it be that there is something wrong with that sentence?"
Xiren immediately stopped talking. It is true that not a single word of the above has been tampered with, but...
"Head."
At this time, a hundred households pulled the school lieutenant to the side, and whispered: "It is the Rongguo Mansion after all, the natal family of Concubine Xiande, is it appropriate for you to do this?"
The school lieutenant asked back: "You also know that this is Concubine Xiande's natal family, if there is no big accident in the palace, can you order her to be arrested on a happy day?"
As he said, he patted his shoulders with his backhand and said: "Since we are here, we have to take out some things to deal with, not to mention I just gave the above an unwarranted confession. As for whether there is any, it depends on the above's intentions .”
The hundred households nodded slowly, as if they were taught, but in their hearts they despised their own boss who got the true biography of Qin Hui.
After the captain explained, he turned around and was about to urge the attackers to take the charge, when he suddenly saw the little captain in charge of guarding the gate rushing towards him.
"what happened?"
"My lord, there are two groups of people coming outside to greet the relatives. One is Mr. Gongxue Jijiu Jiao, and the other claims to be a lieutenant general of the Jinmen Navy."
"Tsk~"
The lieutenant smacked his lips, and after a while he sighed under the hopeful eyes of his subordinates, "Forget it, let's go for a while."
As if he had received an amnesty, the gatekeeper hurriedly led his captain out.
It is said that both families have arrived, but when the captain rushed to the main gate, he saw Jiao Shun standing on the steps alone, and did not see any sign of the vice-general of the navy.
He put on a smile and stepped forward, cupping his hands and said: "Lord Jiao, forgive me, I'm just following orders."
Jiao Shun absentmindedly returned a salute, and asked straight to the point: "May I ask why Jia was arrested?"
"Is this... the oracle is so, I will not disclose it at the end of the pardon."
"Then dare to ask, in the imperial edict, did you ever order your lord to obstruct the marriage between Jiao and the Bowling Marquis?"
"This, this..."
"If it's irrelevant, please make it convenient, don't miss the auspicious time; if it's relevant, Jiao will not dare to disobey the holy will, so he will go back home."
Facing Jiao Shun's tough attitude, the captain was a little hesitant for a while.
Although he speculated that there must be some major change in the palace, and most of the oracle was not ordered by the emperor, but it was just speculation after all.
If the emperor was okay, why did he order Jia Baoyu to be arrested for other reasons?
Then if he stopped the other party from taking the bride away, wouldn't he greatly offend the emperor's first favorite?
Forget it, after all, the bride just lives in the Rongguo Mansion, and is not considered a member of the Rongguo Mansion, so why should she make trouble?
After thinking about it, he finally chose to compromise.
Now he apologized with a smile and said: "The last general was rude, but after all, he was sent by imperial order. We will not stop Mr. Jiao if he wants to pick up the bride, but we must also send someone to 'guard' to avoid any accidents."
His softness made Jiao Shun feel slightly relieved.
It seems that at least the situation is not so bad that it can't be handled. Otherwise, the Dragon Guards will never easily retreat.
Of course, it may also be because the other party does not know.
Hey~
What happened in this palace?Why was Jia Baoyu arrested? !
In fact, until now, Jiao Shun's head was still a mess.
However, he was not idle outside just now, and first made the decision to take Shi Xiangyun home first—he has been in frequent contact with her for more than a year, and he has a good impression of this lively, lovely, kind-hearted girl who knows how to advance and retreat. He had the heart to leave her in this mess.
Moreover, he forcibly entered the Rongguo Mansion to pick up people, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to find out, to see if the Rongguo Mansion knew why this disaster happened.
Besides, if he couldn't even keep his wife who was about to get married, wouldn't he, Jiao, have lived two lives in vain? !
Then, he secretly sent people to the inner mansion to inquire about the news, even if he couldn't know the exact inside story, at least he could ascertain the emperor's safety.
If the emperor is still safe, then of course everything will be fine. If the emperor really has something good or bad, then he will have to think about retreating as soon as possible-after all, because of engineering, he has almost offended the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Without the protection of the emperor, everyone would really be beaten.
However, after two rounds of negotiation, the captain immediately called Lin Zhixiao and his wife to lead the way, and personally accompanied Jiao Shun into the Grand View Garden.
Seeing this scene, the Jinmen Navy, who was hiding in the corner and eavesdropping, hurriedly found Sun Shaozu, who had escaped by urinating, and described what he had just seen, and said, "General, I see that the dragon guard Wei is also very cowardly, why don't we follow suit and pick up my wife from this mansion..."
"Learn from you big head!"
Sun Shaozu glared and scolded: "He is going to marry a lady from the Bowling Marquis's Mansion, so it's easy to talk about not being a family member! But I'm marrying a lady from the Jia family, can this special woman be the same?!"
"Then what should we do?"
"Don't worry, wait a little longer, wait for that Jiao Shun to come out, and see what he has to say!"
As Sun Shaozu said, he looked back at the bridal sedan chair and the drummer, and cursed distractedly, "What kind of corpses are you standing here? Get back, old man!"
The bearer and the trumpeter looked at each other, and one of them boldly asked, "Master, where are we going to retreat?"
"Back to a place where I can't see!"
