Chapter 22: Robbery
The wedding procession had a very smooth journey. After arriving at the Wang family, after a series of ceremonies, Wang Xifeng got on the bridal sedan. The ten-mile-long red dowry made a group of unmarried women very jealous.
After picking up the bride, the wedding procession began to return to Rongguo Mansion along Zhuque Street in Shendu.
Across the street from Zhuque Street, Jia Jue was waiting leisurely.
Behind Jia Jue were more than a hundred personal soldiers quietly staying in the alley.
Not long after, a personal soldier came up to Jia Jue, saluted, and said.
"My Lord, the wedding procession will be arriving soon."
Jia Jue nodded slightly and said.
"Excellent! Come on, all soldiers, listen to my orders. When the bride-picking party arrives, all of you rush forward and beat up anyone you see."
"For a quarter of an hour, I do not want anyone in the Rongguo Mansion's wedding procession to be left standing."
"After the combat objective is achieved, carry the bridal sedan directly back to the Marquis' Mansion."
"Did you hear anything?"
"I will follow your orders, my Lord."
Not long after giving the order, Jia Jue saw the Rongguo Mansion's wedding procession across the street.
Jia Jue didn't waste any words. He waved his hand and a group of personal soldiers rushed out like wolves and tigers.
Every one of Jia Jue's personal soldiers is a brave man who has inherited the military spirit of the Beiwei Army. They have followed Jia Jue through life and death on the battlefield and rolled among the dead.
A hundred or so personal soldiers facing off against the hundred or so wedding procession from Rongguo Mansion was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
Jia Lian was originally sitting on a tall horse with a smile on his face, when he suddenly saw a group of murderous soldiers rushing towards him. Before Jia Lian could react, he was pulled down by the personal soldiers who had quickly rushed to the front, and then he was kicked in the balls and hit with electric cannons.
When the servants from Rongguo Mansion saw Jia Lian being beaten, they rushed over to rescue him, but how could they be a match for Jia Jue's personal soldiers?
The battle was a one-sided crushing defeat. In less than a quarter of an hour, just a cup of tea, the Rongguo Mansion's wedding procession was completely defeated by Jia Jue's personal soldiers.
The bridal sedan was then surrounded by Jia Jue's personal soldiers.
At this time, the yamen runners of Jingzhao Prefecture hid far away and dared not step forward. Anyone could see that this group of people were coming for Rongguo Mansion.
We only make so little money a month, it's not worth risking our lives for the Rongguo Mansion.
Next to the sedan chair, a pretty maid was so scared that her face turned pale.
Although she was trembling with fear, she still stood in front of the sedan chair and mustered up the courage to speak.
"You, what do you want to do? I tell you, this is a marriage between the Rongguo Mansion and the Wang family. You don't want to die, right? Get out of the way."
As soon as the pretty maid finished speaking, she saw a group of personal soldiers making way for them, and then Jia Jue approached with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.
Looking at the pretty little maid in front of him, Jia Jue could probably guess that this should be Wang Xifeng's dowry maid Ping'er.
You know what, she is really a beauty.
Jia Jue looked at Ping'er who was trying hard to hold on and said fiercely.
"Why, you're not afraid of me?"
Jia Jue was a fierce warrior on the battlefield who had killed countless people. He had killed countless people with his gun. At this moment, he showed a little murderous intent, which frightened Ping'er so much that she turned pale, took two steps back and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Jia Jue smiled indifferently and then shook his head.
Then Jia Jue pulled Ping'er up and threw her into the bridal sedan, and then arranged for someone to lift the sedan directly to the Marquis of Guanjun's Mansion.
In the sedan chair, Wang Xifeng asked in a panic.
"Ping'er, what's wrong? What's going on?"
Just now, Wang Xifeng had been in the bridal sedan. Because there was no ceremony, the veil could not be taken off, so she only heard the noises outside, but really had no idea what was going on.
Ping'er shook her head and said fearfully.
"Miss, I don't know what happened. A group of people rushed out and beat up everyone in the wedding party. Then a general came who was handsome but very fierce. We must have been kidnapped." Wang Xifeng was stunned after hearing this.
What does this have to do with anything? How can someone be so bold as to snatch the relationship between Rongguo Mansion and the Wang family? What is going on?
At this moment, Wang Xifeng felt like crying but had no tears, and didn't know what to do.
After all, the current Wang Xifeng is just a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, and is far from being the smart, capable and bold Wang Xifeng in the original Dream of Red Mansions.
In this way, Wang Xifeng was carried to the Guanjun Marquis's Mansion.
In Rongxi Hall of Rongguo Mansion, the entire family of Rongguo Mansion gathered together at this time.
Mrs. Jia, the wife of Duke Rong, sat on the main seat with a look of wealth on her face.
Today is the wedding day of her eldest grandson, how could Mrs. Jia not be happy?
The Rongguo Mansion was also full of guests today. Not only did people from the four major families come, but many founding fathers also came. Everyone was laughing and waiting to drink the wedding wine.
At the lower left, the two brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng are chatting happily.
Jia Zheng bowed and said with a smile.
"Brother, congratulations! From today on, you will be a father-in-law."
Jia She said with a chuckle.
"Haha, my sister-in-law is a member of the Wang family. Now Lian'er has married her niece, which makes them even closer relatives."
Just as the two brothers were chatting, they saw the housekeeper Lai Da walk into the hall in a panic.
Mrs. Jia, who was sitting at the host seat, frowned as soon as she saw it. Today was a big wedding day for the Rongguo Mansion, and the place was full of distinguished guests and dignitaries.
This servant usually does his job well, why is he so out of control today?
Considering that there were guests present, Mrs. Jia suppressed her anger and looked at Yuanyang beside her.
Yuanyang understood what he meant and hurried over to pull Lai Xiao and whispered.
"Butler Lai, today is the Second Master's big day. Why are you so flustered? What a mess."
Lai Da said with a bitter face.
"Miss Yuanyang, it's not that I'm ignorant, it's really something serious that has happened."
"Mr. Lian's wedding party had just picked up the bride. When they were returning from Suzaku Street, a group of burly men appeared from nowhere and started beating up everyone they saw."
"After beating the man, they even stole the sedan chair and the bride."
"what!"
After hearing this, Yuanyang was so scared that her face turned pale. She knew that this matter was serious.
She hurried to Mrs. Jia and whispered in her ear.
Lai Da did the same thing and came to Jia She and Jia Zheng and whispered what was happening.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire Rong Xi Hall suddenly became solemn.
Old Mrs. Jia, who was sitting in the main seat, forced a smile and looked at the guests in the main hall and said.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry, I'm not feeling well and have to excuse myself for a moment."
Afterwards, Old Lady Jia went to the back hall, and Jia She and Jia Zheng hurriedly followed.
As soon as they entered the back hall, they saw that Old Lady Jia's face was as gloomy as water and looked extremely ugly.
Jia She and Jia Zheng were also filled with anger.
