In the famine, she stockpiled space supplies and became a bandit.

Luo Xi was about to ask again, but she saw that the general and others were already walking back, so she had no choice but to say, "I'll come back next time."

Qi Lei also noticed it and said quickly: "Madam Luo, I once heard Du Hong say that he wanted to put the blame for opening the city gate on the general."

"Hurry up and pass the news back to the capital, otherwise, the Le Zheng family will be charged with treason."

Luo Xi's heart skipped a beat: "Okay, I understand."

However, when the news reached them, it was too late. The entire General Le Zheng's Mansion in the capital had been surrounded by officers and soldiers.

"After investigation, it was confirmed that Le Zheng Feiyuan was colluding with the enemy and betraying the country, which led to the invasion of the barbarians into Tianqi. Fortunately, Nanyue County Magistrate Du Hong saw through the situation and the court had the opportunity to drive them away in time. However, Le Zheng Feiyuan fled in fear of the crime, which is unforgivable."

"Your Majesty has ordered that all the people in General Le Zheng's mansion be captured and beheaded in three days to serve as a warning to others."

There was silence at first, but after a while the onlookers were filled with indignation.

"This is impossible. All the men in General Le Zheng's mansion have died in battle. Now there are only two adult men left. The rest are all old, weak, women and children. How could they be collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country?"

"Yes, yes, everyone in Tianqi may betray their country, but the people of Kelezheng family definitely cannot do that."

……

"Shut up." The leader was a man in his fifties, dressed in official uniform. He shouted majestically, "This is the order of His Majesty. Do you dare to question it?"

"Or do you want to rebel too?" His sharp eyes like an eagle swept across the troublemakers one by one.

This person is the Left Prime Minister Xiao He.

All the soldiers surrounding the general's mansion raised their weapons and pointed them at the people, waiting to kill anyone who dared to speak again.

The people had no choice but to shut their mouths with red faces, but their eyes were still staring at them indignantly.

Xiao He smiled with satisfaction.

"Catch him!" he said

With just this one sentence, dozens of people in Le Zheng's family, including men, women, and children, were thrown into jail in an instant. This was not the end yet. That same night, General Le Zheng, Le Zheng Feiyuan's grandfather, hanged himself in jail to prove his innocence and died!

But even so, it could not change the fate of Le Zheng's family. Three days later, everyone was pushed to the Meridian Gate.

That day, the Meridian Gate was crowded with common people. They watched with tears in their eyes as their former hero was sent to the guillotine for traitoring the country.

The executioner holding a knife had red eyes when he walked over.

"I'm sorry!" they said, choking with sobs.

The old lady of the Lezheng family stood up straight and said calmly, "Go ahead, you are just fulfilling your duties."

The executioner also knew that they were powerless to change anything, so he gritted his teeth and raised the knife in his hand.

At this time, many onlookers suddenly drew out weapons from somewhere, hacked down the officers and soldiers who were blocking the surroundings, and rushed forward. In no time, they rescued all the people in Le Zheng's family and protected them behind them.

The other officers and soldiers were stunned when they saw this. How could this be tolerated? They quickly picked up their weapons and attacked, but it was not that easy.

Among the onlookers, no matter they came to rescue people or to see them off, they all blocked their way risking their lives.

"Old Lady, take everyone away quickly. The hero of the Lezheng family should not die here for no apparent reason..."

The old lady had been holding back her tears for a long time, and suddenly burst out: "Fellow villagers, I, Le Zhengjia, appreciate your kindness. Everyone, please leave quickly. Don't sacrifice yourself for us in vain..."

But no one listened to her. They fought more and more bravely, and with people protecting and escorting them along the way, they actually escaped.

But the price was extremely high. From the Meridian Gate to the Outer City, the road was paved with blood and corpses.

The old lady looked at everything that happened here from afar, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. After a long time, she wiped the tears from her face and said, "Xia Zhong, why do you have to do this?"

"Now, your Xia family has become a traitor too."

The man in his forties scratched his head innocently and laughed, "Don't worry, Madam. I have already made arrangements. They are all fine."

"As for whether I am against the enemy or not, what does it matter? You forgot that I was born a bandit. If it weren't for the general and his wife, I would never have been able to sit in the court."

The old lady held her grandson tightly in her arms, and all she could say was just two words: "Thank you!"

Xia Zhong scratched his head again: "Actually, this idea was proposed by the Right Prime Minister, and we are just following his orders."

"No wonder." The old lady should have thought of it earlier. It was the old boy who had a quick mind and a hard heart.

"Did he tell us where to go after leaving the capital?"

"I told you it's Tongning County, which is next to Fengchuan County."

"The second son of the Si family is employed in Tongning County next to Fengchuan County?" The old lady was a little surprised: "I heard that Chaoyang Villa is headed by a young woman?"

Xia Zhong nodded: "Yes, the Right Prime Minister said that this woman is brave and resourceful, and she is not greedy for power or indiscriminately killing innocent people. She is much better than the Tianshen Cult that claims to be the Jade Emperor descended to earth."

Now that they have rebelled against the imperial court, they can only turn to forces that are also against the imperial court.

The old lady knew that the right prime minister had a sharp eye, and what he said was probably right, but: "They may not take us in?"

After all, taking them in would mean leaving behind a huge trouble, and the imperial court would not let Le Zheng's family go.

Xia Zhong also knew this: "Let's go and have a look first. If it doesn't work, we can just occupy a hill and become bandits ourselves."

"This is my old trade, I am very familiar with it."

The old lady was immediately amused by him: "Okay, let's try it."

Luo Xi, who was being talked about by them, also received the news from the Red Mansion soon. After reading it, she breathed a sigh of relief, as she was glad that he was not dead.

Although she had never seen these people, it was a pity if such a heroic family ended up like that.

After reading it, Luo Xi found an opportunity to tell Qi Lei: "So, you don't have to worry."

Qi Lei was not very happy after hearing this. He even looked sad: "Ms. Luo, this is probably not a good thing."

He paused for a moment, then said indignantly: "That villain Du Hong once asked the general to lead his troops to destroy your Chaoyang Villa, but the general refused."

Luo Xi said "hmm": "I heard about this from Si Jia, then what?"

"Then?" Qi Lei was so angry that his back teeth almost broke: "Now that the military power has just been handed over to him, he has issued an order for the Red Soul Army to set out in five days to... destroy Chaoyang Villa."

Luo Xi glanced at him and asked, "Let you destroy Chaoyang Villa?"

Qi Lei didn't even dare to raise his head: "We didn't want to go, but he threatened us with our family..."

The tough guy almost shrank his head into his neck.

Luo Xi smiled and said, "Go, why not go!"
