After the rebellion was successful, I realized that this place was the Red Mansion

Chapter 70: Destroying the Family
At that time, Chu Yan was sitting with Yuanchun and Qinghe, listening to the "Grand Banquet" sung by the twelve little actors of the Jia family. They drank and chatted with the two of them, and were toasted by the soldiers from time to time. Just when he was feeling unhappy, the soldier who brought the news suddenly arrived.

"Your Majesty, something happened tonight in the Ning and Rong mansions. Commander Dai Wei ordered me to report this to you. Please make the decision, Your Majesty."

The soldier's words made Jia Yuanchun's heart rise to her throat. She looked at him intently, but then felt something was wrong. She quickly withdrew her gaze and turned to look at the king.

"what's up?"

Because the marshal's chair was wide enough, Chu Yan sat with the two of them, and was currently hugging Qinghe's slender waist.

This princess always wore a veil, and outsiders did not dare to look at her too much. They only knew that she was Chu Yan's concubine and might become a concubine in the harem in the future.

"Your Majesty..."

The soldier told the story of the two governments.

After hearing this, Jia Yuanchun looked incredulous!
How could there be a slave rebellion in the family? That would be fine, but Brother Zhen from the East Palace actually spied on his daughter-in-law, Qin Keqing?!

What is this? It's completely lawless!
"Did the Jia family actually have such a thing?"

Qinghe, who had been quiet tonight with Chu Yan holding her slender waist, was also shocked at this moment. The slave mutiny was nothing. The palace was also in chaos the night before Prince Qian entered the city.

But the father-in-law peeping at his daughter-in-law was such an inhumane and shameful thing that made her, an unmarried girl, feel ashamed. She spat secretly and turned her head away, not wanting to listen anymore.

She would rather be hugged by King Qian than listen to this.

Chu Yan glanced at Jia Yuanchun and ordered the messenger:
"Tell Dai Wei to execute Jia Zhen and exile Jia Jing, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, and all the other male members of the Ningguo Mansion three thousand miles."

Yuanchun was trembling all over. Brother Zhen...

King Qian executed him with just one word!
"Escort the remaining males from the Ning and Rong mansions to the military camp for further processing."

This one sentence determined the fate of Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu, Jia Lian, Lai Da and others.

After a moment's thought, Chu Yan continued, "Xu Qinshi holds the power of life and death within Ningguo Mansion. Except for the Fourth Young Lady, everyone else is under her control. I've ordered Youshi to assist in this matter. Tell them to handle tonight's incident and make sure to rid Ningguo Mansion of all this dirt."

The Ningguo Mansion is rotten to the core, and shocking news is coming.

"Rongguo Mansion...will remain untouched for now. Let Miss Lin and the other three still be in charge."

Chu Yan continued.

What happened tonight cannot be blamed on Baochai, Baoqin and Daiyu. They have only been managing the household for a few days.

Qin Keqing was a little weak, but Chu Yan still gave her another chance. After all, she was influenced by Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and Youshi in the past, and could not control the three of them for a while. Now Chu Yan gave her the power of life and death, to see if she could clean up the Ningguo Mansion where "only the stone lions in front of the door are clean".

If not, she will just be a vase in the future.

Chu Yan knew that Tanchun, Wang Xifeng, and Li Wan all had the talent to be housekeepers, but at the moment the main test was on Baochai and Baoqin. Lin Daiyu was in poor health and was also resisting him, so she would definitely not be able to manage the household well. Adding her in was just so that she could use herbs to boil medicine.

After saying this, Chu Yan looked at Jia Yuanchun.

His words just now determined the life and death of everyone in the two mansions. Jia Yuanchun was concerned about her parents, brothers and sisters at home, and she must have felt heartbroken.

But she didn't say a word, just lowered her head and shed tears silently.

She must have guessed that Chu Yan would not let the Jia family go just because of her words, and it would be useless to beg him.

"That's fine."

Chu Yan smiled and said to the messenger, "Jia Zhen will be ordered to commit suicide instead. Jia Jing, Jia Rong and others will also be taken to the military camp."

Yuanchun looked at him with tears in her eyes, biting her lip tightly, unable to utter a word. Seeing this, Qinghe hurriedly said, "I thank the king on behalf of Princess Yuanchun!"

After all, the princess was kind-hearted and knew that this was the best punishment.

"Uh-huh!"

Yuanchun nodded vigorously and opened her lips to speak, but she was too sad to speak and only made sounds in her throat.

Chu Yan wiped her tears and said to Qinghe, "Help her go back to the tent to rest. We will listen to the opera until three o'clock tonight before going back." Qinghe quickly agreed, and gently got rid of Chu Yan's big hand with her slender waist. She stood up, helped Concubine Yuan back to the tent.

The messenger soldier repeated the order, confirmed it was correct, saluted and said goodbye, and rode back to the city quickly.

Dai Wei received the order quickly. He was already prepared and immediately took more than a hundred soldiers and entered Ningguo Mansion again.

First, he sent someone to tell Qin Keqing to order the soldiers to search every house in Ningguo Mansion and take all the men out.

When Qin Keqing arrived with her maids Baozhu and Ruizhu, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were also escorted to the main hall of Ningguo Mansion. Dai Wei sat on a chair and ordered someone to bring a three-foot-long white silk to Jia Zhen, shouting:
"By order of Prince Qian, Jia Zhen is allowed to commit suicide!"

The head of the Jia family usually had the final say in Ningguo Mansion, but at this moment his body was shaking like a sieve. He didn't dare to look at the three-foot white silk and kept shouting that he was wronged.

Qin Keqing covered her mouth with her hands, tears streaming from her eyes. Things had finally come to this point.

"Sir, it's unfair!"

Jia Zhen no longer cared about his past image and knelt down and kowtowed.

Dai Wei simply pointed to the small room next to him. Two soldiers immediately stepped forward, grabbed Jia Zhen and dragged him inside. Another soldier took the white silk and followed him in.

Seeing this, Jia Rong was so frightened that he trembled and dared not say a word.

All the men of the Jia family, from the side branches of the Jia family, such as Jia Qiang, Jia Chang, Jia Ling, Jia Yun, etc., to Lai Er, Jiao Da, Xier, Shouer, etc., as well as Jia Zhen's concubines and aunts, such as Peifeng and Xie Yuan, all rushed to the main hall of Ningguo Mansion, or were taken here by soldiers.

The torches lit up the night sky, and everyone in Ningguo Mansion was horrified.

At this moment, they regretted not taking King Qian's orders to heart in the past, which led to the disaster of destroying their family!
A moment later, the soldiers dragged Jia Zhen out of the small room. Everyone took a closer look and saw that Master Zhen's hands and feet were weak, his head was tilted, and there was a circle of deep marks on his neck. It was obvious that he was dead!

"Uncle Zhen!!!"

The servants were crying and shouting, but Jia Rong was so scared that he lay on the ground and trembled, not daring to call out "father".

"Shut up!"

Dai Wei shouted, and everyone fell silent.

"Prince Qian has sentenced Jia Zhen to death because he secretly disobeyed orders and acted recklessly. His crimes are unforgivable!"

First, Jia Zhen was sentenced to death, and then Dai Wei conveyed Prince Qian's order to them, allowing Qin Keqing to have the power of life and death over everyone in Ningguo Mansion.

"Sir," Qin Keqing said softly, "Youshi is not at home. She is at Rongguo Mansion and has not been able to come back."

Dai Wei nodded: "I will send someone to pick her up tomorrow."

After saying this, he did not stay long and escorted all the men in Ningguo Mansion out, leaving about ten people outside the second gate to be dispatched by Qin Keqing. Jia Zhen's body was also taken out, casually covered with a piece of white cloth, and placed in a room to be dealt with tomorrow.

Without stopping for a moment, Dai Wei led his men into the Rongguo Mansion again, still sitting in the Rongxi Hall, and sent people to escort out all the males except those in the Grand View Garden.

As for the Grand View Garden, he could see that the king attached great importance to the garden. Previously, when he ordered people to search for the slave, he did not dare to break into the homes of those young girls.

At the moment, only a maid was sent to tell Lady Jia and others to bring out all the male members of the Jia family in the Grand View Garden and not to leave any one behind.

Outside the city, in King Qian’s military camp.

"There's no fate. We're separated in the blink of an eye. We come and go naked, without any worries..."

Fang Guan and others had just finished singing "Parasite Grass" when the many soldiers who were listening to the opera in front of the general's tent cheered and gave the troupe some silver and copper coins as rewards.

Dozens of opera troupes were performing in various places in the camp. The soldiers had just received rewards, so the actors could easily make a fortune tonight.

Fangguan, Ouguan, Qiguan, Wenguan, Lingguan and others returned to the backstage and saw that the person who collected the reward had a basin full of copper coins and small change in his hands. They were so happy that they grabbed a handful and put it in their pockets, waiting to go back and show off to the people in the mansion tomorrow.

They didn't know that the Rongguo Mansion had been turned upside down.
