"Oh! Is there something important? Tell us and we will report it for you!"
The gatekeeper obviously didn't believe what he said and kicked Sheng Dehai to the ground again.
"Ahem... 놖... Really 놅... I must meet the Prime Minister... Prime Minister..."
Sheng Dehai was hit so hard that he vomited a lot of blood, but he was still begging for mercy.
In fact, he didn't know any important secrets of the eldest wife, but this was the only way to see the king's uncle.
These officers and soldiers had seen countless similar prisoners and knew their tricks very well.
He didn't believe Sheng Dehai's words at all, so he took out a whip and started to whip him:
"Don't think of those evil ideas! There are many criminals who try to get close to the Prime Minister with this excuse!"
“Snap—Snap—Snap—”
"Ouch... it hurts! Stop hitting me! Ouch... I want to see the Prime Minister..."
“Snap—Snap—Snap—”
"Wuwu... I want to... I want to see you..."
“Snap—Snap—Snap—”
“Wuwuwu… Stop… Stop hitting me… I don’t want to see anyone… I don’t want to see anyone…”
Sheng Dehai was beaten to a pulp, his flesh and blood flying everywhere, and the garbage residue that was stuck in his hair and clothes was scattered all over the floor. He was lying on the floor like a pile of rotten meat.
"Humph! You think you are still a high and mighty doctor! Understand your current status! If you keep making noises, I will whip you!"
The imperial guard general wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkey, so he beat Sheng Dehai ruthlessly.
Seeing that he had surrendered, he whipped him hard again, and then he glanced fiercely at everyone in the Qin Palace.
As expected, all the masters and servants who had been crying and shouting were frightened and dared not make any sound.
In the huge Qin Palace, you could hear a pin drop...
A quarter of an hour ago, news came from the palace that it had been robbed. The Queen Mother urgently summoned the commander of the imperial guards to the palace to protect the emperor.
Not only did Zheng Jichang's original plan fail, but he also got into trouble.
He left a few lieutenant generals to continue guarding the people in the Qin Palace, and then he left with a group of people with a gloomy face.
Several generals originally came to the Qin Palace with the intention of making some money.
As a result, after searching the entire Qin Palace, nothing of value was found.
The walls and floor are so clean that flies would slip when they step on them!
The faces of the lieutenants were gloomier than the night. They looked no better than the prisoners of the Sheng family.
Fortunately, the Qin Palace was not the only one to be robbed that night, and the imperial guards did not make things difficult for them because of this.
It seemed as if he had received an order from above, and had saved every possible step, just to send the Sheng family into exile as soon as possible.
After the imperial guards counted the number of people and confirmed that there were no missing people in the mansion, they directly fed the power-dissolving powder to all the male martial arts graduates.
Soon after, a team of armored imperial guards and solemn-looking female officials came up to change everyone's clothes and search their bodies.
There was no time to worry about making things difficult for the Sheng family, and the series of processes went on as fast as lightning.
Sheng Nanxi felt like in just a blink of an eye, the soft silver fox fur on her body was replaced by an adult cotton jacket that smelled musty.
Her third brother was afraid that she would be frozen, so he snatched the biggest cotton-padded jacket for her and wrapped it up in three layers of cotton, covering her head and face.
"Achoo--Achoo--"
The rough fabric immediately rubbed several red marks on Sheng Nanxi's delicate skin. The foul smell from the cotton jacket rushed into her head, causing her to sneeze several times in a row.
"Ouch - did you freeze your sister when you were changing clothes just now?"
Sheng Yichen felt the little girl in his arms shivering and was startled. He didn't even bother to put on his clothes and threw his cotton jacket over Sheng Nanxi's head.
Nancy Sheng: !!!
Thank you for hearing that.
Just now I just felt it was smelly, but now I can't breathe...
She was so embarrassed that her face turned red, and she raised her fist and punched Sheng Yichen in the face.
"Ugh...Brother! I can't breathe!"
"It's... it's my fault. Wait a minute, I'll figure out how to put it on you."
Sheng Yichen was in a panic. He was sweating profusely as he was thinking about how to dress his little baby, when he was suddenly hit by another slap.
"You bastard! I asked you to look after your sister, and this is how you take care of her?!"
Princess Qin Li Zhenyi was tidying up clothes for herself and the old Princess Qin, while also finding time to teach Sheng Yichen a lesson.
Seeing the red marks on Sheng Nanxi's neck and face, he felt even more distressed. He raised his hand and gave Sheng Yichen another slap.
"I asked you to dress your sister, not to make dumplings. How can she move if you wrap her so tightly?!"
"You just need to wrap her up in a cotton quilt. If the wind is too strong when you go out, just use your strong body to block it for her!"
“…”
After Li Zhenyi's gentle teaching, Sheng Nanxi was finally rescued from suffocation. She found a comfortable position and lay in Sheng Yichen's arms with half-closed eyes.
She didn't want to always rely on her brother. Unfortunately, this body was just a three-year-old baby who got sleepy at the first sight of darkness. She had already exhausted all her energy by emptying the mansions.
Now it was as if there were two weights hanging on her eyelids, and she was swaying even when she stood on the ground.
The imperial guards were probably really frightened by the successive disturbances that occurred that night, and were afraid that something strange would happen again.
In order not to waste time, they only searched my eldest brother and grandmother's wheelchairs, put handcuffs and leg irons on everyone, and then let them go.
They couldn't even find the medicine hidden in my grandmother's secret pocket, not to mention the private money hidden in my third brother's hair, soles, and pants...
All the direct relatives of the first and second wives of the Prince of Qin were herded into the palace like ducks, while the servants were all driven into the courtyard, waiting to be taken away by the government to be sold.
However, Yun Jin, the maidservant of the eldest brother, dodged the soldier who pushed her and saluted the opponent with dignity.
"I have seen the official, and I know the truth. I am the eldest son's concubine. But I have been busy with affairs in recent days, and the palace has not had time to report it to the family tree."
At this time, fine snow was falling in the courtyard. All the servants in the courtyard had sad expressions, but she was the only one standing proudly in the wind and snow.
It is like a white plum blossom in full bloom in the cold winter.
Even if no one cares, even if the environment is harsh, it can still thrive.
"Yun Jin, what are you talking about?!"
Sheng Yuhan's indifferent face was rarely stained with anger, and he immediately interrupted Yun Jin.
With his intelligence, he could certainly guess that Yun Jin said this just to have a reason to follow the exile team and take care of him along the way.
According to the laws of the Southern Qi Dynasty, if the master's property was confiscated and exiled, the slave would be sold again. Many of them were still able to be sold to a good family again.
At least I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I don't have to endure the pain of long journeys. Compared to exile, it's a better place to go.
If the Sheng family loses power, they will not only have to endure freezing and hunger and a difficult journey during their exile, but they may also be assassinated by many people.
Even he wasn't sure if he could get to his destination, so how could he bear to let an innocent weak woman be implicated? !
Yun Jin ignored his reproach, her eyes were firm, and she was not shy at all when talking about the relationship between men and women:
"Sir, the eldest son is a man of unrivalled talent, but he is too shy to mention matters between men and women, and he got anxious and troubled me."
"Since I was taught by you, I know that even a woman should be honest and not hide anything from the government."
"I am the eldest son's servant,
Please allow me to pass through and join the exile team."
