Chapter 9 Sent to the Ministry of Justice
Yue Zhenjiang felt Luo Ming's gaze on him, and his heart was in suspense. He shouted, "Please investigate this matter, my Lord. I never interfere in my family's affairs."
As soon as Yue Zhenjiang opened his mouth, Yue Zhenhe was not to be outdone and said directly, "Sir, I am the same. My wife is in charge of all the affairs of the family. She knows more about it than I do."
The women in the second room looked a little grim when they heard this. They were indeed in charge of the household, and the man's eagerness to distance himself from the matter made them feel very uncomfortable.
Yue Fuli watched the internal strife within the Second House coldly, feeling a surge of sarcasm in her heart. She hadn't even started a fight yet, and the Second House was already at war. Sure enough, an ungrateful person is an ungrateful person, no matter who they are.
Luo Ming did not expect that Yue Zhenjiang and Yue Zhenhe, two grown men, would say such things, and he despised them even more.
Just as he was about to teach them a lesson, the commander of the imperial guards stepped forward and said, "Lord Luo, that's enough. We still have to report back to His Majesty and send them to the Ministry of Justice prison."
Luo Ming thought about it and felt that the fact that there was nothing in the Yue family's warehouse should be reported to the emperor, so he nodded and said, "Let's do as Commander Guo said and send the person to the Ministry of Justice first."
"Come here, take off the jewelry from them and take them away."
As soon as Luo Ming gave an order, someone came over with a tray and asked everyone in the Yue family to put away the jewelry on their heads, jade pendants and purses on their bodies.
In the main house, the old lady took the lead in taking the things down. When the children saw their grandmother taking things down, they naturally followed suit.
But when it came to the second wife's turn, there was another uproar. The people in the second wife were short-sighted and would just wear any valuable things on their bodies.
These are their favorite things.
Now Luo Ming wanted to take these things away, but they naturally didn't want to do so. Some of them protected their wrists and didn't want to take off the bracelets, while others protected their heads and didn't want to take off the jewelry.
Luo Mingke was not so easy to talk to. Seeing that the second house was not cooperating, he directly ordered the imperial guards to capture the person and take him away by force.
Not only that, in a fit of rage, he had the gorgeous outer garments they were wearing stripped off, saying, "You're going to be thrown into jail, why are you wearing such nice clothes?"
Seeing that Luo Ming even wanted clothes, the old lady took them off before they could do anything. Otherwise, she would be stripped by these stinky men and lose all her dignity.
Seeing that the old lady was so sensible, Luo Ming didn't feel embarrassed. After collecting all the things that needed to be collected, he waved his hand and said, "Take it away!"
A group of people quickly escorted him out of the house and onto the street.
The streets were bustling and noisy, with people standing on both sides of the road, many of whom were waiting with rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves in their hands.
“It’s coming out! It’s coming out!”
Someone shouted, and everyone looked towards the entrance of Yue Mansion. A group of people, wearing only white undergarments and with their hair loose, slowly approached.
In a moment, rotten eggs and leaves were flying all over the streets, and the cursing was even more unpleasant.
Listening to the curses, Yue Fuli's eyes flickered slightly.
In such a huge capital, there wasn't even one person who spoke well of the General's Mansion. It looked like someone was doing this on purpose.
"Father would never betray the country!" Yue Fugui, the youngest of the eldest daughters, couldn't help but scream as he faced the rotten eggs and rotten leaves. He glared at the people cursing him and expressed his trust in his father. "My father was a great general who defeated the enemy and recovered lost territory. He was loyal to the court. He would never betray the country."
What responded to him was an even more violent barrage of rotten eggs and vegetable leaves.
