Chapter 178 Disposal
"Taifei, I got greedy for a moment, so I stole things from the house and sold them outside. I am guilty. I beg you, Taifei, for the sake of serving you all my life, please spare me."
"What a naughty old woman. It's your duty as an old slave to serve the master. It's time for you to take the credit. My concubine, such an evil slave should not be spared lightly."
The concubine stared at Granny Wei and remained silent for a long time.
King Jin glanced at her, said nothing, and drank tea from a cup.
After a long while, the concubine said quietly: "All the property of the Wei family will be confiscated, Mrs. Wei will be killed with a stick, and all the Wei family will be sold to Sakhalin Island."
"Toffee, please forgive me!" Mrs. Wei never expected that the concubine would reprimand her family so severely.
Although she has served the concubine all her life, she has never really understood the concubine.
The concubine is soft-hearted, but her heart is not soft, and she is the most concerned about face.
Prince Jin has been busy outside, and today he suddenly wanted to help her change the furnishings in the house, and even took her to the warehouse to select them himself.
After thinking about this matter carefully, the concubine came to her senses. It was her good daughter-in-law who found out something that led to such a show.
Mother-in-law Wei caused her to lose face in front of her daughter-in-law. She was full of evil anger, so how could she let Mother-in-law Wei be spared?
The evil slave family was dealt with, and the King of Jin comforted the concubine, "There is no need to be angry for her, my son will choose some honest and honest servants for you."
Taking this opportunity, except for a few maids around the concubine, all the other servants were replaced.
After King Jin finished handling the matter, he returned to Rujingyuan.
Jiang Changning was teasing the parrot leisurely, "Peace is blessing, I wish you good luck."
It’s the New Year, so you have to teach your parrot to say auspicious words.
The parrot's brain capacity is not enough, so the words it learns are: "Be safe and get rich."
"It's okay to be safe and get rich." Jiang Changning didn't force the parrot to say all eight words.
As long as you are alive and have peace and wealth, it is already quite good.
Hearing the sound of the curtain being lifted, Jiang Changning looked up and saw that Prince Jin had come in. He nodded the parrot's little head and said, "Good luck to you, my lord, and good luck to you."
The parrot said in a strange voice: "Good luck to you, your Majesty, and good luck to you."
"This bird has been taught by you and is very smart. I won't worry about my children anymore." King Jin lifted the hem of his robe and sat down next to her.
Jiang Changning gave him a sideways look, "Teaching children is different from teaching birds. Besides, if you don't teach your adopted son, it's the father's fault. Don't try to shirk the responsibility."
"I will teach our children well and never shirk responsibility." King Jin smiled and leaned into Jiang Changning's ear, "When will Ning Ning help me give birth to children?"
"Let nature take its own course when it comes to giving birth." Jiang Changning stood up and carried the birdcage out.
"You're so shy again." Prince Jin laughed, picked up Jiang Changning's storybook and flipped through it.
But I saw a poem from the previous chapter: Yun Ting is talented, young and beautiful, and has been fashionable for a long time. He is willing to marry and marry, the central matchmaker is old, and he will marry Cao. His sweet words are in vain, and he will arrange a tiger prison in the land. He will be imprisoned and tortured.
, stupid and crazy, running away for his life.
"This word is not bad." King Jin continued to read.
After a while, Jiang Changning came in, "Yong Zhou, we have fresh vegetables for lunch."
"The city gates are closed and no one is allowed in or out. Where can we get fresh vegetables?" King Jin asked curiously.
Even if the city gate is open, the snow is so heavy now that the vegetables at the hot spring village in the suburbs are frozen to death by the snow.
"I had people grow it in the greenhouse. I saw that the snow was falling too much and I was afraid that there would be no vegetables to eat. Anyway, the greenhouse is large, so I asked them to plant some vegetables." Jiang Changning said with a smile, "Isn't it great?
clever?"
"Smart, Ning Ning is the smartest." King Jin never hesitated to praise his little princess.
"I asked someone to send a small basket to the concubine and give her some food," Jiang Changning said again.
King Jin was happy that Jiang Changning was filial to the concubine, and said with a smile: "The concubine is old and her words don't sound right. You ignore her, but tell me and I'll talk to her."
"My mother-in-law is very good to me, but those unscrupulous slaves just talk nonsense." Jiang Changning really thinks that the concubine is a pretty good mother-in-law.
The concubine is a bit snobbish, but she loves face. She was scolded by Jiang Changning several times, and she calmed down after she found that she couldn't defeat her daughter-in-law.
Coupled with the mediation by King Jin, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is still harmonious.
Jiang Changning sent a basket of green vegetables to please the concubine, who ordered her maid to bring a dish of steamed fish.
However, steamed fish was the favorite food of King Jin, not Jiang Changning.
Jiang Changning didn't care. They were mother and son, and she was an outsider.
In the afternoon, the couple took a nap and were playing chess when Cao Jiang came in and reported: "Your Majesty, something big has happened."
"Say." King Jin was calm and composed.
"An hour ago, a group of mobs broke into the Xiong Mansion and kidnapped all the Xiong family members. They are now hanging on the Xizhimen Gate Tower."
This fact was so unexpected that even King Jin showed a look of astonishment and was stunned for a moment, "I want to go into the palace. You are at home, don't go out."
"I'll help you change your clothes," Jiang Changning said.
The King of Jin put on his court clothes and hurried away with Cao Jiang.
General Xiong's atrocities led to the greatest revenge.
"Although the Xiong family is a bit innocent, why don't I sympathize with them at all?" Fu Cui said, holding her chin.
"It's all General Xiong's fault." Xiulan said.
General Xiong knew that his mother, wife and concubines had all been kidnapped by the mob. He was so angry that he led his troops to attack Xizhimen and threatened, "I will kill them all!"
"You are such a reckless man. You rushed over with your troops like this, and before you could kill them all, your mother, wives and concubines were slaughtered by them." An official said mockingly.
General Xiong didn't dare to yell anymore. He was a filial son and didn't care about his wife and concubines. His old mother must be rescued.
The emperor saw that General Xiong did not solve the problem of the mob, but instead made the riot bigger and more serious. He also had a headache.
He summoned eight or nine ministers, including the King of Jin. "These mobs were so bold that they rushed into the inner city and tied up the officials and their families. It is really abominable. They must be killed as a warning to others."
There was silence in the hall. After a moment, under the look of King Jin, the Minister of War said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the reason why the victims became mobs was caused by the Relief Department. General Xiong did not comfort the victims, but added fuel to the fire.
As a result, things have developed to this point. If we continue to use violence to fight violence, I am worried that it will cause greater public uproar and there will be chaos in the capital. Please understand that it is not easy for the people."
"Your Majesty, please understand how difficult it is for the people." King Jin and others also said.
But General Xiong shouted: "There is no reason to argue with these mobs, we must kill them all."
His opinion alone had no way to influence the emperor's decision. The emperor knew very well that what the Minister of War said was not alarmist.
"Let the matter of persuading surrender be left to King Jin." The emperor was helpless. He did not want to rely on King Jin, but King Jin was more suitable for this matter in terms of status and ability to lead troops.
"I can go and persuade you to surrender, but I need your Majesty to give me permission." The King of Jin did not agree directly.
