Chapter 194 Crying
In the carriage, Jia Mu and others were extremely anxious.
Especially after hearing Jia She get off the car and lead his men over.
Since they dare to take action at this time, they must have considered the manpower on their side.
"Mother, I'm afraid that it's not just my sister-in-law who's in danger. Cousin Jing and Zhen'er may also be in danger."
When he realized this, Jia Min no longer cared to listen to the news from the rear team.
"quick!"
She shouted outside: "Get moving, get back to the city immediately."
While they are here, we need to assign some staff to look after their safety.
But returning to the city is different.
There are soldiers at the city gate.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Grandmother Jia also reacted, "Hurry back to the city and report to the authorities!"
"Wang'er, you stay and explain the situation to the master."
Wang Xifeng said to her chamberlain, "Let's go find reinforcements."
Rescue efforts are needed in three locations, and not only can they not help, they may also cause more trouble.
Their carriage started moving quickly, and Xing wanted to catch up, but the master was outside...
After a moment of hesitation, the carriage in front had already run away.
she……
"Hurry, don't just stand there, go and help."
Xing opened a crack in the window and said to the two servants guarding the carriage, "Please take good care of the master."
The two servants were stunned, but since the mistress said so, of course they would go and help.
The two of them, together with Wang'er, picked up a few stones each and ran back.
"Madam, then I..."
The driver hesitated, "Shall we go back to the city?"
The cars in front have all run away!
"...Wait a minute, wait for the master!"
Xing was extremely panicked.
But she still knew who in the Jia family she could rely on.
No matter how unreliable Jia She is, as long as he is around, she is the mistress of the house.
She has no children. Although Yingchun is a good girl, she hasn't grown up yet!
What’s more, there is also the sister-in-law from the East Mansion.
Her horse was frightened, and the carriage...
Xing didn't dare to think of a worse situation and could only clasp her hands together and pray to God.
The Jia family cannot live without the eldest sister-in-law!
Without the eldest sister-in-law watching over her all the time, the old lady might soon return to her old ways and continue to favor the second wife.
By then, the master will definitely give up everything.
Not to mention what happened to Xing in the carriage, Jia She had received external support and was greatly encouraged. If he had no weapons, the only thing he had was burning firewood.
He picked up the one that was not covered with oil and was still half burned and threw it at the man in black.
"Smash it for me. If you kill me, I'll give you 800 taels of silver."
Jia She is doing it himself.
He didn't even care when he got two blisters on his hands.
His father and uncle handed over the military power in the first place in order to reassure the retired emperor and to protect their descendants.
But what about now? These bastards, dared to do this in broad daylight! He was worried about his sister-in-law who was taken away by the frightened horse, worried about his cousin at Taixuan Temple, and also worried about Zhen'er who rushed there.
It can't be such a coincidence.
"Ahhh, you bastard!"
After the palace guards finally injured one of them, Jia She threw things at the man desperately.
The servants at Rongguo Mansion followed suit and rushed forward as quickly as possible.
Bang bang bang~~~~Crack~"Ah~~~~"
The injured man in black soon had his legs and hands broken by several of Jia She's servants.
"Him, hit him again!"
Jia She pointed at a man in black with bloodshot eyes.
The man in black who was being stared at shuddered for a moment, but soon all the stones and fire sticks were thrown at him.
"The wind is strong, hurry up!"
The opportunity has been created, and the work on the third brother's side is almost done.
He didn't care about his captured or injured companions, and rushed into the woods where their horses were hidden.
The boss has fled, so the other four certainly won’t fight anymore.
Whoosh~ Palace guard Fan Daming was so angry that he swung his sword at the injured and not very agile man in black.
Pop~~ A head rolled out, a large amount of blood spurted out, and the man's body fell to the ground with a "bang", still shaking from time to time.
Fan Daming rode up on his horse, leaned forward, took back his sword, and rushed towards the trail with his teammates, "Master, I leave this to you."
"Go, go, go quickly!"
Although Jia She also wanted to go, his movements were definitely not as fast as theirs. "We'll wait for you here."
It's okay. It will be fine.
Jia She swallowed hard and said to the two servants, "You, you two, catch up with Zhen'er on horseback and tell him to be careful. Something happened here."
The two servants quickly mounted their horses and chased after Jia Zhen.
"As long as he is safe, I will reward him handsomely when he comes back."
Jia She was afraid that they would not do their best, so he shouted for a generous reward.
But even so, he was still uneasy.
Those who were strong and agile had all fled, and he...
"Master, this is bad. This person has taken poison."
The man in black, whose hands and feet were broken by them, bit open the poison hidden in his teeth. He was now twisting his body in pain and his face was hideous.
On this side, facing the three men in black who were getting closer and closer, Shen Ning knew she couldn't delay any longer, so she sat down as if resigned to her fate. In fact, she used the soft back to block the other party's sight and used a tinder to light the musket.
The recoil of the musket is still very large.
After getting it, she took advantage of the opportunity when Jia Zhen was setting off fireworks to fire several shots.
Now……
"Mrs. Shen, if you want to die quickly, tell your men to put down the whip."
The woman holding the whip seems to be quite capable.
"otherwise……"
Before he finished speaking, Shen Ning, who had calculated the distance and direction, suddenly raised his hand and fired a shot at the other party with a "bang".
The distance between the two sides was only four meters, and the musket was aimed at the opponent's chest, and its power directly knocked the opponent over.
With a 'bang', he fell backwards and slid one meter, and Wen Peilan's whip also moved.
Snap~ Snap~ Snap~ The whip was sometimes long and sometimes short. The first few lashes were aimed at the hands of the two men holding knives, knocking their knives down. The whip then rolled again, throwing the knives away.
Shen Ning didn't care about the numbness and pain in his right arm and quickly loaded the gunpowder.
The two men in black were startled by the sudden change, and were caught off guard. When they reacted and tried to snatch the whip, the muskets were aimed again, bang~~~~"Ah ah~~~~"
The man in black had a distorted face after being shot in the abdomen.
The look he gave Shen Ning was as if he wanted to eat her flesh and drink her blood.
They have her information.
Wen Peilan, the one using the whip, is an escort from the Weiwu Escort Agency. Although he has some skills, any one of them will be able to take Shen's life if they keep pestering her for a while.
But damn, how could a noble lady from the Shen family use a gun? If...
Whoosh, whoosh~ Wen Peilan kicked back another man in black and swung his whip around, wrapping it around his neck and pulling it hard.
Because of her protection responsibility, Wen Peilan dared not relax at all.
She knew that the wife had a musket that she had gotten from a missionary.
She had seen people using this thing in the south.
But those are for men.
now……
Although their side seemed to be fine, there was still a distance between abdominal injury and death. What if they risked their lives to bite off a piece of their flesh? Wen Peilan sent him off without hesitation.
The moment the whip was swung, the black-clad man's neck bone was dislocated and he died on the spot.
This this?
The only remaining man in black did not expect such a reversal.
They clearly had an absolute advantage, how could this happen? In a flash, he quickly pressed the arrow from his sleeve.
It’s a pity that after shooting several arrows before, there is only one left now.
Whoosh~ The timing of this arrow was very good. It was when Wen Peilan had used up all his old strength and had not yet regained his new strength. It was impossible for him to whip and rescue Shen Ning.
When~
Shen Ning lifted up the soft cushion.
Because Jia Zhen was stabbed and learned his lesson, he placed a piece of iron sheet in the middle of the soft backrest.
Sure enough, the arrow did not go through.
But it also frightened her so much that her heart started beating abnormally.
Whoosh~ Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~ Wen Peilan was also frightened at that moment, and the whip made a "whoosh" sound as he swung towards the man.
Although Shen Ning was panicked, she didn't know if there were any other men in black behind her, so she hurriedly loaded the ammunition and prepared the fuse.
"Just wait, this feud has been established, and I won't let you go."
There was the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
Hearing the voice, the man in black suspected that it was the Jia family's guards. His sword was thrown away by the woman surnamed Wen, and it was useless here now.
After narrowly avoiding a few whips, he made a few leaps and disappeared into the woods.
"Madam~"
Wen Peilan didn't chase after anyone, and hurriedly turned back to check on her.
"I'm fine!"
Shen Ning's complexion was actually very bad, but she still tried to stand up with the help of a soft backrest, "Look at Jinshan who is driving the carriage."
"...I'll take you there."
Wen Peilan was stunned for a moment, and her voice became unusually soft.
Since entering the Jia family, everything she saw was different from what she had imagined.
There are not many masters in Ningguo Mansion, but there are a lot of maids, old women and servants.
In the past, she thought that this family was extremely extravagant, but now... she felt that for most ordinary people, being a slave in the Jia family was actually a very good job.
The Jia family has clothes for all four seasons, and they also have food, lodging, and a monthly allowance.
That would be fine, but they also teach literature and martial arts. Those who are talented in martial arts can serve as palace guards and have a bright future.
Even if you can't become a palace guard, as long as you are willing to learn and are good at using an abacus, it is said that you can also work as a shopkeeper or clerk in the Jia family's shop outside.
Just like the little girls in the inner courtyard.
You should spend at least half an hour practicing calligraphy every day. If you want to learn embroidery and have talent and are willing to endure hardships, you can go directly to the needlework room.
Even if you are interested, you can learn how Aunt Li cooks.
It is said that if someone is willing to write down a recipe, the lady will give him ten taels of silver.
It can be said that the Jia family treats their servants very well.
Now they were not completely out of danger yet. The lady's legs were shaking a little when she walked, but she still cared about the servant who fell into the ditch first.
Wen Peilan felt that it was worth it to work for such a person.
Jinshan, who fell into the ditch, had an arrow on his shoulder, one of his legs was bent abnormally, and his face had many scratches. He was unconscious and looked seriously injured.
"Madam! Madam..."
"Oh~"
Fan Daming and the other two rode over on horseback, "Madam, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Jinshan is seriously injured."
Shen Ning said: "We have to carry him away."
"I'll do it!"
The three men dismounted together and quickly found the carriage board that Wen Peilan had kicked off. Before carrying Jinshan up, Wen Peilan had already found a quilt and another soft cushion from the broken carriage that had rolled down the hillside.
Several people tidied up the place and made him lie more comfortably.
"Madam, Master She and a few servants are still waiting for us over there."
Fan Daming said, "Can you ride a horse with Miss Wen? If not, I will go back and drive the carriage."
"able!"
There's nothing impossible.
When the original body was young, he learned horse riding with Jia Jing.
When Shen Ning was in modern times, he had also ridden it several times at tourist attractions.
What's more, Wen Peilan is here to take care of her this time.
Shen Ning was eager to go home as she was worried about her eldest son.
And Jia Jing!
She didn't know whether he really had a fever or something had happened.
The horse comes fast and goes fast.
The snowflakes in the sky are getting bigger.
Shen Ning wrapped his cloak tightly, but even so, the wind blowing across his cheeks felt like steel needles scraping across his face.
She couldn't help but lower her head.
"Hold me tight, ma'am."
Wen Peilan straightened her back and tried her best to shield her from the wind and rain. "We'll be there in a moment."
…
Capital city, Shuntian Prefecture.
Dong Xiaoquan was drinking hot tea while looking at the files. The weather was getting colder, so the number of patrol personnel from all sides had to increase.
We really have to increase it.
When it's cold, people like to warm themselves by the fire.
But water and fire have been merciless since ancient times.
If we don't keep an eye on it, a large area in the south city will burn down.
He had just written down his approval on the dossier on budget increase when someone rushed in anxiously.
"My lord, it's bad. Madam Shen from Ningguo Mansion was attacked and her life or death is unknown."
What? Dong Xiaoquan stood up suddenly, "When and where? Someone, ring the gong!"
The gong is an emergency assembly call.
In an instant, all the yamen runners in Shuntian Prefecture became busy.
At this time, a team of people from the Wucheng Bingmasi, which was the first to receive the news, had already gone to the scene of the accident.
However, Jia Mu and Jia Min were worried that there were not enough people, so they did not return home. Relying on their status, they waited at the west gate for the Five Cities Army to send more people to rescue people.
Soon, another thirty people left the city in the wind and snow.
By the time Chief Constable Lu from Shuntian Prefecture came out, another quarter of an hour had passed.
The driver told him the approximate location, and then he wiped his sweat.
"Old lady, are you going home now?"
"…to the palace."
Grandmother Jia was silent for a moment, and finally said these three words.
Although there is no evidence to prove that it was Prince Jin who did it, those in power often do not need evidence.
She could also choose not to tell King Jin, she could go and cry to him.
She wants the emperor to investigate it personally.
The Jia family is worthy of the emperor.
Even if the emperor doesn't investigate, the emperor has to.
"Mother!"
Jia Min's eyes were filled with sadness. "Are you looking for the Emperor?"
"Looking for the Emperor!"
The Jia family is an old minister.
The Jia family is loyal.
The retired emperor even handed over the prince's remaining bloodline to the Jia family, so he relied on the Jia family to a certain extent.
The old lady didn't believe that he could just ignore it.
"I have to cry to him."
The King of Jin has gone too far.
"I have to find Concubine Zhen. I have to ask her how the Jia family has wronged her."
She didn't need any evidence. She just wanted to let the emperor see that the Jia family was suspecting Prince Jin.
"Your sister-in-law..."
Jia's mother's tears fell, "And your elder brother and Zhen'er, nothing can happen to them!"
If something bad happened to them, how would she explain this to her ancestors?
In the future, she will not have the face to see the Duke.
"Quick! Go to the palace!"
Grandmother Jia sniffed and didn't dare let herself cry too hard at this moment.
Tears should flow where they should flow.
"Feng'er, send two more people to report the news, one for Lian'er and one for Zhu'er."
