Rudonghai

Chapter 219 Widow
The second lady kept Ji Yanliu in her arms, fearing that she would be frightened, she lowered her head every three steps, her face full of worry.

Ji Yanliu had been sitting there like a log since the first day of crying, and the second lady let her eat and sleep, as if she had lost her soul, which was really worrying.

After disembarking, there was already a carriage waiting, Xiguan sent several people to the old residence of Ji Mansion, and after getting down, he took the lead in announcing the decree.

There are hundreds of people in the Ji family, old and young, because they have been informed a few days ago, all of them were waiting in the old house, and now a large group of them fell to their knees.

After Xiguan unfolded the imperial decree and read it, it was handed over to the head of the Ji family: "I am afraid that the whole family has a lot to say, so the miscellaneous family will not stay any longer. Mrs. Gu must be tired from traveling around for the Ji family. Let’s pack up before we go.”

The Imperial Forest Army surrounded the Ji family's old house and prevented anyone from leaving.

Some disciples from Jingzhong had inquired about it a long time ago. It was An Guohou and Ji Keran who were responsible for the crime. Second Master Ji was arrested. As long as he took the blame, the Ji family would be saved.

He was clever and went back to the old house early to give the patriarch a guarantee. Knowing that An Guohou hadn't hurt the clansman, he was relieved. Unexpectedly, he received the news yesterday that Ji Erye brought his wife and daughter and Ji Jiaqian back to the old man in the south of the Yangtze River. When he came to the house, he raised his heart again, and couldn't guess what the emperor meant for a while.

Now that the Xi official announced the decree, what does the head of the Ji family not understand?
He looked at Ji Jiaqian expressionlessly, hatred and dissatisfaction burst out of his cloudy eyes, and Ji Jiaqian was so startled that he backed away again and again, hiding behind Second Master Ji, but was caught by the second brother, and asked viciously: "What are you doing?" Going into the palace to beg the emperor to spare my life, and then exile for three thousand miles? It’s ridiculous, I thought you ventured into the palace, and I was moved, did you get the whole family exiled in exchange?"

Ji Erye cried and laughed, almost going crazy.He understood Ji Jiaqian's thoughts, but she just wanted to leave incense for An Guohou.But as proud as he is, exiled outside, reduced to worse than civilians, it is more uncomfortable than death, it is better to die cleanly!

Besides, his surname is Ji, and he belongs to the Ji family.Originally, as long as he died, the Ji family would not be hurt anyway, and they could make a comeback.Even if he is not as beautiful as An Guohou, he will not be looked down upon by others.

But what did Ji Jiaqian do, she destroyed the entire Ji family!
It really wasn't the Ji family, but in just a few words, the entire Ji family was dragged into the water, and there was no possibility of getting up again!

Think about it, whether it is the elderly or children under the age of 14, they will all be exiled. Even if they survived by chance, it is impossible to have generous resources for these children to continue their studies and become officials in the court!

The head of the Ji family's eyes were red, wishing to tear Ji Jiaqian to pieces.This woman did good deeds and thought she was smart, but she put the Ji family in ruins!
Ji Jiaqian felt cold all over when they saw her, as if she was about to be torn to pieces by these people in the next moment, she couldn't help feeling wronged, she ventured into the palace to beg the emperor for the sake of Ji's family, and even cut off the blood relationship with the emperor, Just to save the second brother and save An Guohou's last bloodline, it's okay if they don't appreciate it, they look like they want to tear themselves apart, it's really ungrateful!
The second lady looked at her with a cold face: "You feel aggrieved, they should be grateful to Dade? The entire Ji family no longer exists. How many people do you think will survive to be exiled for three thousand miles?"

Hearing this, Ji Jiaqian's heart turned cold, and she suddenly shivered.She finally understood the deep meaning of the emperor's words. Although she saved her second brother's life, she lost the entire Ji family.

For the emperor, that is the best thing.But if Second Master Ji is spared, the Ji family will not be able to stir up any more turmoil, and will completely eradicate hidden dangers for his heirs.

After all, the emperor would like to thank his granddaughter for helping him a lot.

Only then did Ji Jiaqian recall Xiguan's words on the carriage, "It's easy to do it for yourself", isn't it just good for yourself?
She twitched the corners of her mouth, showing a wry smile that was uglier than crying: "I thought I saved the second brother, but is it the emperor's intentions here?"

Ji Jiaqian was very anxious. Hearing that her second brother was about to be tortured, she just wanted to keep him, and didn't have the heart to think about anything else.

Perhaps the emperor had been waiting in the palace for a long time, waiting for himself to speak, so that he could go along with the flow.

After all, An Guohou is dead. In order to show the emperor's benevolence, he did not offend the Ji family.It was just that Ji Jiaqian interceded, he had no choice but to forgive An Guohou's second son, but he wanted to exile the Ji family so as to stop Youyou's mouth.

Ji Jiaqian stood there in a daze. After all, she was a member of the royal family. She lived so comfortably in An Guohou's Mansion. She never thought that she would jump into the pit dug by the emperor on her own initiative, dragging the entire Ji family down. , became the big sinner of the Ji family.

"I was wrong, I will go back to Beijing, enter the palace again, and beg the emperor..."

Second Master Ji sneered, "Has the Emperor already told you that this is the last time and there is no chance to go back on your word?"

Ji Jiaqian's face was pale, obviously she was hit by what Ji Erye said.

"What a stupid woman, she could be my sister." Ji Erye frowned, thinking of the meaning of the imperial decree, the men here can only be exiled, and the women may be used as official prostitutes.

But which woman from a good family is willing to sleep with thousands of people and ride with thousands of people, there will be no one left behind.

In the end, the entire Ji family can only be exiled, how many survive in the end?

Second Master Ji looked at the ashes of the clansmen in the old house. The young and strong ones might be able to make it to the end, but even if they got there, the emperor only wanted to say a word. No matter how hard they worked, they might not survive for long.

If the emperor wants to kill the grass, he will not let the Ji family go, and pull out any threat!

He could think of it, but how could the head of the Ji family not think of it.

The patriarch lowered his head and sighed, and the old man's face was even more desperate.One sentence from the emperor sealed the life and death of the Ji family.

Ji Jiaqian's aid to the tyrant is basically pushing the Ji family into a pit of fire, with no way out.

"No, I'm with you too, the emperor won't be so cruel..." Ji Jiaqian murmured, but she couldn't even convince herself.

The emperor used her hand to destroy the entire Ji family, so how could he care about himself?

After all, the Ji family knew that it was Ji Jiaqian's words that hurt them, so how could they treat themselves kindly?

I'm afraid these people already want to tear themselves apart before they set off.What's more, on the road, I'm afraid that Ji Jiaqian will not be able to survive after walking too far.

Those who didn't know thought that she was willing to follow all the way and be exiled together because of her filial piety, even if she was a married woman for the sake of An Guohou's mansion.

But Ji Jiaqian knew in her heart that it was impossible for her to stay in Beijing, and the Gu family would not be able to go back either.Apart from being exiled with the Ji family, where else could she go?
The Ji family would not let her go, and Ji Jiaqian sat on the ground dejectedly.The Ji family looked at her blankly, and Second Master Ji snorted coldly: "It seems that my sister has already figured it out. If that's the case, follow us on the road in three days."

The Gu family hasn't come to ask for so long, it seems that they have already planned to give up Ji Jiaqian, and now is an excellent opportunity.

Sure enough, just before departure, the patriarch received the He Li letter from the Gu family, which clearly stated that he had completely severed ties with Ji Jiaqian.

Ji Jiaqian looked haggard. In the old house these days, the clansman didn't give her a good look. She ate leftovers from cold dishes and slept in a simple woodshed. She was not polite to herself at all.

At any rate, they gave themselves a bite to eat and a house to shelter from the wind and rain. Ji Jiaqian was already very satisfied.

If it were her, she might have killed someone long ago, how could she still be alive?

Seeing Ji Jiaqian's desolate appearance, Xi Guan didn't seem too surprised, and ordered the Imperial Forest Army to tie a group of people around their wrists with ropes and connect them in a string, and it was time for Ji's family to go on their way.

To his surprise, the second wife and another family woman stayed behind, saying that they were willing to act as official prostitutes.

Second Master Ji's face was very cold, as if he had known it for a long time, there was no emotion in his eyes, he put his arms around Ji Yanliu in front of him, and nodded slightly to the second lady.

If the Ji family were to be exiled, there would always be someone guarding the capital. Maybe a few of them would be lucky enough to survive. No one would point them out. Even if they escaped, they would run around like headless chickens. .

The second lady understands that if she wants to stay, she can only be an official prostitute, but it is a good place to collect information.I don't know whether to wait five years, ten years or a lifetime, it's always a thought.After all, she is weak, and she might not be able to go very far on the road to exile, so she might as well keep it for some use.

She was sad in her heart, and she only whispered: "Take good care of Liu'er, and if it's unavoidable, don't make her suffer for too long."

Ji Yanliu's body completely collapsed in the prison, and she probably won't last long.But the Second Madam couldn't bear to part with this daughter, and hoped that the innocent girl would leave innocently, and she would die in a dirty place like the Red Mansion.

Ji Yanliu seemed to wake up a little bit, she grabbed the Second Madam's hand with red eyes, and she yanked it off: "Let's go, even if there is no future, we can always meet on the road to the underworld."

Second Master Ji took a deep look at the second lady, but he didn't say anything. This little wife always has her own ideas, but if she bid farewell today, she might never have the chance to see her again.

There is no word "take care" because either way is not going to be good.

Ji's family was exiled, which made the important minister who lost his family feel a little happy.

After Mrs. Zhen Guohou heard the news, she only sighed: "Mrs. Gu is really smart but she deserves to be misled by her cleverness."

Obviously able to stay in Beijing to live a good life, but he wants to repay the kindness of nurturing and pay for the entire Ji family.

But Ji Jiaqian has such a temperament, even though the emperor has never met her, he still knows it clearly, otherwise how could he let her step in step by step?
Thinking of this, Madam Zhen Guohou shuddered a little.The emperor who was denied by his six relatives was indeed a lonely family.

"Xueyan, hurry up and pack up the medicinal materials in the warehouse, and send them to the Xiao Mansion later..."

As soon as the words came out, Mrs. Zhen Guohou quickly came to her senses. On the night she was taken away, Xueyan was seriously injured and died long ago in order to stop those thieves.

It's just that she's used to having this maid by her side, and she hasn't been able to change it for a while.
