An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Chu Chunxi and his mother stood beside the majestic stone lion, and both looked back and stood there for a while with tacit understanding. His third uncle did not follow them out, but turned around and went back quickly.

The silence in General Jing's mansion should be broken soon. The terrible sound of horse hooves seemed to be coming from far away, making their heads hurt.

It's not an illusion caused by their own impatience, but what is coming will eventually come.

The sun rose slightly, and the solemn mansion before them felt so familiar. In their previous lives, they had no chance to enter the General's Mansion before the house was confiscated, and even after the house was confiscated, they could not return a single step. All this was due to Chu Xuan's deception and the Marquis's mansion's taking advantage of their misfortune.

Glazed tiles and vermilion lacquered doors.

Everything in the past is so familiar, yet feels so far away. It is only one step away, yet it seems like thousands of mountains and rivers separate us.

Jing Qiurong wished she could transform herself into a Buddha: Fortunately, there is a fairy aunt, fortunately, her daughter suddenly entered the fairyland, and she should not repeat the same mistake again.

Chu Chunxi also said to himself: General Jing’s Mansion, we will come back.

And it won’t be long!

……

Two quarters of an hour later,

General Jing's mansion was surrounded tightly by the imperial guards brought by the Fourth Prince Xu Ziyi, leaving no gaps at all.

As soon as the Fourth Prince entered the palace, he shouted, "Look, it's tight, not even a fly can fly out!"

On the highest step, the emperor's favorite, the eunuch Li Dewang, stood in front of the group of Jing's servants who were gathered together, and read aloud in a pinched voice:

"By the Providence of Heaven, the Emperor declares: After a thorough investigation, it has been discovered that General Jing Yongcheng of Jing's mansion colluded with foreign invaders, embezzled food and fodder, and conspired with other generals to commit numerous acts of rebellion. These acts of treason are undeniable, sparking public outrage.

The current emperor is merciful and, considering the loyalty of the Jing family's ancestors to the country, has pardoned the Jing family from death. All of the Jing family's property will be confiscated, all of the slaves will be sold, and the entire Jing family will be exiled to Lingnan..."

Sure enough, the news was exactly the same as what her daughter had reported. Madam Jing held on tightly, her back straight, and her old and powerful voice was resounding and powerful: "Your Majesty, this is unjust!

My great-grandfather fought for the Great Dong Dynasty in the northern border and protected the people for more than forty years. He died in the Battle of Lingyun and his body was dismembered.

My husband inherited his father's business and also fought in battles and defended the border for more than 30 years. He was covered in wounds when he returned to the capital at the call of the emperor, and now he suffers from the cold and pain every day.

My eldest son and second son followed their father to fight at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Our family is full of loyalty and righteousness.

The eldest son, before he even turned eighteen, devised a strategy to repel the enemy, securing five border cities and preventing the Mongols from invading. He is still working diligently in the western border and has not returned home for three years.

The second son fought for many years and achieved great success, but was later killed by a villain and his body has never been found.

San'er is full of knowledge and talent. He is also loyal and devoted to assisting the emperor.

May I ask the Fourth Prince and Eunuch Li, can all this be defeated by the slanderous words of treacherous ministers?

I never thought that my Jing family, with its generations of loyalty, would end up like this."

Every word was sad and heartbreaking. The old lady stood tall, with her three daughters-in-law and youngest son standing behind her, as well as a group of descendants of the Jing family. Both young and old had firm expressions on their faces, but they felt a sense of sadness all over their bodies.

The emperor is killing the donkey after it has served its purpose!

Li Dewang didn't hear the old lady's explanation at all. His face was expressionless, and he acted impartially. In a shrill, extremely harsh voice, he said hypocritically, "Old lady, please don't embarrass us. Right and wrong are all decided by the emperor. The decision has been made. Come! Search everyone, regardless of gender."

At a command, a group of imperial guards surrounded the Jing family in an instant, forcing the women in front to take a few steps back, and after they stopped, they glared at them.

Body search for everyone? They wanted to search the female members of the family without even bringing any maids or servants. Was this the last bit of dignity the Jing family had to give?

"The Jing family has been loyal and righteous for generations, and has made great military achievements. They are respected by the people of Daqing Dynasty. How can we allow you to bully and humiliate us?"

Madam Jing did not retreat a single step, and her words were as firm as iron. She moved forward like an eagle, stretching out her hands to protect the young people behind her. This made the officers and soldiers who had no idea how to act and wanted to come up and grab people feel a little scared. They paused for a moment and turned their eyes back to the two people on the steps.

"The confiscation of property and exile is the emperor's order. We are just following orders. Please don't make things difficult for us, madam, to avoid embarrassing us all." The sharp tone was obviously a bit annoyed. This favorite of the emperor usually nodded and bowed when he saw General Jing, but now his face was cold and merciless, and he stood straight beside the fourth prince, looking like a fawning dog slave.

The Fourth Prince raised his proud head, looked around, and then glanced at Jing Changning, who was standing next to Old Madam Jing, with a look of disdain on his face: "Your Highness, by the Emperor's order, is to seal off General Jing's mansion and confiscate all property. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy. Hurry, search."

The expression and waving of his hands made it seem as if he had been enemies with the Jing family for several lifetimes, and he wished to kill all the masters and servants of the Jing family who were crowded below.

This was the result of being ignorant of the current situation. Over the past few years, he had used coercion and bribery to get the General's Mansion to side with him, but he had long wanted to teach them a lesson. How could he let it go now that he had this last chance? He would rather destroy him than leave him with future troubles than allow him to be used for his own benefit.

The old, young women and children of the Jing family standing at the front of the stairs did not utter a single cry. Even the young children who were held in their arms and comforted only blinked their innocent big eyes and lay motionless on the shoulders of the women, as if they were facing a very common thing and not a ferocious monster.

On the contrary, many of the servants at the back had already begun to whimper in panic, their voices extremely suppressed, and finally a series of whimpering sounds spread from one point to the other, but the sound could not be heard outside the house.

Many servants also followed the momentum of the Jing family, clenched their fists and said nothing, following closely behind their masters, watching the development of the situation silently.

This scene was completely different from the chaos and turmoil during the usual raids and exiles. It made the Fourth Prince furious. He felt that his dignity was being challenged: "Strip them of all their clothes, remove all the gold and silver hairpins and rings they are wearing, and don't spare the children either."

Hearing this, several officers and soldiers who were eager to show off their achievements rushed forward first, eager to try. Their obscene eyes made them wish they could immediately strip off all the clothes of these ladies in gorgeous clothes who usually acted arrogantly in front of them. The women and children in front of them were all frightened. Only then did two children in their arms burst into tears with fear. Several rows of people quickly retreated. Some fell to the ground and didn't have time to stand up. Their clothes were almost touched by the imperial guards.
