Chapter 402: Grandmother Jia: Go to the East Palace quickly to invite Brother Wei!
At noon that day, as usual, Jia's mother was setting up dinner in her courtyard, when suddenly Lin Zhixiao's wife hurried up to Rongqing Hall and reported to Jia's mother:
"Master Shen from the Imperial Guard, Eunuch Wei from the East Factory, and Eunuch Ma from the West Factory are leading various guards to the palace!"
Lady Jia, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and others were so frightened that their faces changed color. Two factories and one guard went to Rongguo Mansion together. What big thing had happened?
Now in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng was demoted to the southern province, Jia Lian is also working in the south, Jia She spends all day drinking and playing with his concubines in the east wing, Baoyu is still unconscious, and there is no man who can do anything outside!
Jia's mother and other women in the back house were also at a loss, so they could only send someone to the east wing to call Jia She. At the same time, another maid came in and announced, "The three masters have entered the second gate!"
Grandmother Jia had no other choice but to reach out and shout, "Go to the East Palace and invite Brother Yu!"
The East Cross Courtyard also got the news, and Jia She hurried into Rongxi Hall and said, "I'm sorry for not welcoming you, the three gentlemen, to visit us. What can I do for you?"
Ma Jinliang, the head of the Western Factory, sneered, and Shen Lian, the assistant commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, had a dull expression and said nothing.
Only the East Factory Supervisor Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "Is this Master She, the heir to the title of Rongguo Mansion?"
When Jia She saw these three people, he knew that today would most likely bring disaster, and he was frightened to the point of turning pale and trembling all over.
"I am..."
Wei Xiaobao asked again with a smile: "You are the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, why don't you live in Rongxi Hall? Why do you come from outside?"
"This..." Jia She was speechless, his face full of embarrassment, and he could only smile.
Wei Xiaobao's face suddenly turned cold: "Jia She accepts the order!"
Jia She was so frightened that his face turned pale. He fell to his knees with a thud, then prostrated himself on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.
The guards from the Eastern Depot behind Wei Xiaobao lifted their clothes and tightened their arms, with sneers on their faces, just waiting for the emperor's orders.
Wei Xiaobao stood on top with an imposing manner and said, "There is an imperial decree: 'Jia She has colluded with officials from outside the court and bullied the weak by taking advantage of his power. He has failed my grace and disgraced his ancestors. He is to be dismissed from his post until his death. I decree this.'"
In an instant, Jia She seemed to have lost all his strength. He collapsed to the ground, his energy and spirit completely gone, as if he had aged ten years.
Wei Xiaobao shouted repeatedly, "Capture Jia She and keep the rest under guard."
At the command, several guards from the East Factory pounced down like wolves and tigers, held Jia She down, locked his hands and feet, and put a shackle around his neck.
At once, countless servants from the two factories and one guard rushed in and guarded the gates. No one in the house was allowed to move around.
Shen Liancai ordered in a cold voice: "Send the message to the back house, and ask the family members of Rongguo Mansion to stay away."
Wei Xiaobao was sitting in the hall, looking up at the large plaque with nine red dragons on a green background on the ceiling. Upon hearing this, he turned around and smiled, "Master Shen is really thoughtful."
Shen Lian bowed his hands and saw a line of small characters after "Rong Xitang" on the plaque, which read "On a certain date in a certain year, this book was bestowed upon Rong Guogong Jia Yuan" and "Treasure of the Emperor's Calligraphy".
"Although Shen Lian is a warrior, he also knows that this is where Lord Rong stayed in the past. There is a golden plaque with the imperial calligraphy on it. How dare he be presumptuous?"
Wei Xiaobao was touching the large rosewood carved dragon table with shining eyes, but upon hearing this, he smiled bitterly and withdrew his hand.
Wei Xiaobao rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started."
Soon, the accountant and other officials, together with the guards, captured the servants of the Rong Mansion and led the way, and they went to search and confiscate the property.
The guards were so happy that they were ready to fight everywhere, but they heard Shen Lian coldly said, "Master Wei, please be patient and wait a little longer!"
Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "The people from the two factories and one guard are all here, what are you waiting for?"
Ma Jinliang, the head of the Western Factory, also laughed and said, "Sir Shen, His Majesty has asked us to search the Rongguo Mansion, so we should return as soon as possible to report back!"
"There's no rush anyway."
After Shen Lian finished speaking, he found a chair and sat down. Seeing him confronting Wei Xiaobao, everyone in the hall dared not move. Now that the Jinyiwei had been under Jia Wei's control, its power and popularity had already surpassed those of the East and West Factories. As a hall official, Shen Lian did not dare to look down on Wei Xiaobao, even if he was a close confidant of Emperor Xuanwu.
Ma Jinliang turned his head to look at Wei Xiaobao. Yu Huatian had not returned to Beijing yet, and as a big shot he didn't dare to offend Shen Lian.
"Tell someone to raid the East Courtyard where Jia She lives first!"
After saying this, Wei Xiaobao smiled grimly, sat down on the nanmu chair, took off his official hat and threw it aside, and shouted outside: "La Kuai Ma, I'm dying of heat, why don't you serve me tea!"
In Rongqing Hall, Jia's mother and others were still waiting for the letter. No one came in to deliver the message, so they could only worry anxiously. Suddenly, they saw Wang Shanbao, the housekeeper, rushing in.
"Madam, Madam, no... it's bad! Some robbers wearing boots and hats have come, rummaging through boxes and taking things, and the master has been captured too!"
When Lady Jia heard this, her eyes went dark and she fell down. Fortunately, Amber was there to support her.
"old lady!"
Suddenly, there was chaos in Rongqing Hall.
In Wang Xifeng's courtyard in the back house, Wang Xifeng also heard the news that the two men from the factory had come to search her house, and her face was full of panic with her big belly.
"How did it end up like this?"
Feng Er at the side hurriedly said, "Grandma, be careful, or you might get a miscarriage!"
Wang Xifeng's due date is approaching. If she gets frightened and has a miscarriage at this critical moment, how can she survive?
"The little property we have worked so hard to build up is going to be taken away by someone else. What will this child eat and drink when he is born?"
Feng Er was stunned, and subconsciously said: "Isn't there still Master Er?"
Wang Xifeng was relieved when she thought of Jia Wei, but she suddenly heard a commotion outside the courtyard and her face turned pale again: "Did they break in?"
Before Feng'er could go out to check, she saw a person pushing the door open and walking in. Wang Xifeng and Feng'er were both surprised, but they were relieved when they realized that she was a woman dressed as a man.
The woman was wearing a silver flying fish dress and an embroidered spring sword on her waist, looking extremely heroic.
"On the order of the Marquis, please invite the madam into the Marquis's mansion. Please come in." Ding Baiying looked at Wang Xifeng's big belly.
Wang Xifeng recognized her as someone from Jia Wei's courtyard and was immediately overjoyed: "Feng'er, pack up your belongings quickly!"
"But I don't have time for that. I have to go to the front to pass on the message." Ding Baiying said, and came forward to support Wang Xifeng.
Feng'er hurriedly packed two pieces of clothes for Wang Xifeng and hurried after her.
When they arrived at the courtyard, a strong woman from the marquis's mansion had already brought a sedan chair. After Wang Xifeng sat in it, the sedan chair was lifted up and escorted by personal soldiers outside the courtyard.
Ding Baiying personally escorted them, and there were foreign soldiers guarding the back door, but seeing the sign of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, no one dared to stop them.
After escorting the sedan chair out of the back door of Rongguo Mansion and into the Marquis' Mansion, Ding Baiying turned back and headed all the way to Rongxi Hall.
In Rongqing Hall, Jia's mother was awakened by the treatment, but still did not see Jia Yu coming, so she had to quickly send someone to invite him again.
Inside Rong Xi Tang, everyone was getting impatient waiting. Wei Xiaobao, Ma Jinliang and others were about to attack Shen Lian when suddenly a group of heavily armored and fully armed soldiers rushed in.
Everyone knew that this was the personal guard of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, and their faces changed in shock. Wei Xiaobao also stood up hurriedly and subconsciously hid behind Ma Jinliang...
