Chapter 642: Come on, Take Away

The people stopped walking, and the streets were crowded with people standing around to watch the excitement.

After all, even if you are in Kyoto, you won't often encounter house raids, so you naturally want to watch the excitement before leaving.

Qin Yao never liked to join in the excitement, but the crowd was so crowded that they couldn't leave even if they wanted to, so they were forced to stay and watch the house raid.

A few men in the clothes of the Imperial City Bureau got off the two leading carriages, holding something that looked like an imperial edict in their hands, and strode to the gate of the surrounded mansion, and directly sent people to knock the gate open.

The people in the mansion were caught off guard and were shocked. When they saw the official uniform of the Imperial City Bureau, their faces turned pale.

Without a word of nonsense, the black-faced man in the lead waved his hand to order people to start searching and reading out the cold imperial edict.

The black-faced man's voice was not loud, and Qin Yao and the others were a little far away, so they could only vaguely hear a few words about forming a clique for personal gain, instigating the royal children to disobey, and offending the emperor.

The last sentence was clearly audible, and the black-faced evil spirit shouted loudly:

"Your Majesty, show mercy. The entire Zhu family, young and old, men and women, will be exiled three thousand miles away. All property will be confiscated and executed immediately!"

As soon as the voice fell, the wailing of women and children came from the mansion. In a short while, all the women of the Zhu family were driven out of the gate. The speed was so fast that they didn't even have time to breathe. They were caught and driven out on the spot, and all the gorgeous clothes and pearl hairpins on their bodies were confiscated. The onlookers were stunned.

"I have never seen such a fast confiscation of property. The three Zhu family members were just idle positions in the book compilation. How could they be confiscated so suddenly?"

In the past, the confiscation of property and exile that I saw would take at least one or two hours before people came out, so at least it would give people time to breathe and pack up some valuables.

After all, it was not as serious as the execution of the entire family. No one could predict the ups and downs in the capital.

As long as people are still alive, there is more or less room for maneuver.

The court of Kyoto has been turbulent for the past two years, and most people are used to it. It is rare to see such a strange thing today.

An old man who claimed to be an insider said in a low voice: "You know how fiercely the two people are fighting now. Now with the help of the national teacher, the East Palace has barely surpassed the Princess's Mansion. It's not easy for the East Palace to catch a handle on the Princess's Mansion. Do you think the East Palace is stupid? Naturally, we have to fight quickly to avoid someone showing up halfway."

Before the voice fell, a woman's angry shout came suddenly: "Liu Qian! As the director of the Imperial City, do you think it's glorious to bully a group of women and children?!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw a tall woman in a blue tight suit riding a horse and whipping Liu Qian, the director of the Imperial City, trying to open his hand holding the wooden yoke.

The incident happened suddenly, but the black-faced director of the Imperial City Division, Liu Qian, quickly retreated to avoid the whip.

The two eyebrows that were cut off by scars were tightly frowned, staring coldly at the blue-dressed woman.

The old man who was halfway through his words saw this scene and immediately said, "See, what did I say? The people from the Princess's Mansion are here."

The spectators instantly became energetic. It seems that today's house search is not simple.

However, someone asked curiously: "Who is this woman? She is so fierce that she dares to provoke the living devils of the Imperial City Division?"

The old man spoke again, "Who else can it be? The Princess's Mansion Guards!"

The onlookers were immediately excited. The Guards, the living devils of the Imperial City Division are in trouble.

Qin Yao and Liu Ji, who were eating spectators silently behind the crowd, looked at each other.

Liu Ji asked softly, "Madam, do you think that woman in blue looks familiar?"

Qin Yao nodded and directly said the name of the person, a name she was very familiar with: "General Mu Ling."

Liu Ji excitedly patted his daughter's calf on his shoulder, "It's her, it's her!"

Si Niang screamed and asked indignantly, "Dad, why did you hit me?"

Liu Ji realized that he was too excited, and smiled flatteringly, "It's a mistake, Dad just wanted to scratch your shoulder, I'll buy you a candied haws later~"

Si Niang snorted, "I want two!"

Liu Ji raised his big hand, and the little girl immediately stretched out her small hand, and the father and daughter clapped their hands to reconcile.

After comforting his angry daughter, Liu Ji looked over again, and the women in front of the Zhu Mansion had put on their original gorgeous clothes again.

That Liu Qian dared not speak in front of Mu Ling, after all, who dared to offend the powerful princess?

But the princess is so obviously partial to her subordinates, isn't she afraid of getting herself involved?

Forming a clique for personal gain is the most taboo thing for His Majesty right now!

Mu Ling stopped the imperial city officials who were moving things out, and asked the Zhu family's women to go in and pack up their belongings.

He apologized and whispered to the old lady of the Zhu family: "There is no turning back on the exile, but Your Highness will never let the loyal ministers lose heart. Lord Zhu and his son have already arranged everything, and someone will take care of them. Don't give up. As long as people are alive, there is still hope!"

Mu Ling emphasized the word "hope". The old lady Zhu's originally gray face instantly had a glimmer of light. She was in her fifties or sixties, and she immediately knelt to thank the princess for her kindness.

Mu Ling hurriedly supported the person, and glanced at Liu Qian and others darkly. Only then did the old lady Zhu realize that she should not be publicized.

With this moment of respite, the Zhu family had the opportunity to hide more gold and silver that could be taken away, and there was more hope on the three thousand miles of exile. Thinking of this, the women of the Zhu family were even more grateful to the eldest princess.

Mu Ling stood at the gate of the Zhu family, with a momentum of one man blocking the pass and ten thousand men unable to open it. Everyone in the Imperial City Department looked at each other, and then looked at their own leaders.

Liu Qian's face was darker than the bottom of the pot, but he was still calm. He stepped forward and tried to negotiate with Mu Ling.

But the other party was very tough. He stretched out his hand to block the door and shouted coldly: "It's just a quarter of an hour. Liu Qian, you can't wait? Do you have to ask His Highness to come in person?"

Liu Qian took a deep breath and squeezed out a sentence from his teeth: "Then I'm sorry!"

He immediately took action and grabbed Mu Ling's arm, ready to pull her away.

But Mu Ling was not a vegetarian. After dodging and retreating, the two of them were deadlocked again.

Seeing that the situation could not be broken, the reinforcements that Liu Qian had just secretly sent people to call finally arrived.

"Get out of the way!"

A small team of guards suddenly rushed out, pushing away the onlookers who blocked the road, and rushed to the front door of Zhu Mansion.

Bai He walked out of the guards in casual clothes and rushed straight to Mu Ling who was blocking the door. She did not retreat a step, and looked at him with contempt, "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be the number one lackey of the national teacher, Lord He!"

Bai He's emotions have always been stable. He only frowned and directly showed the East Palace token:

"We are following orders. Come on, take away!"

Bai He waved his hand, and the four guards who followed him immediately rushed forward to hold Mu Ling and drag him out.

At this moment, a majestic female voice came: "Lord He, let me teach my people a lesson myself." (End of this chapter)
