Chapter 1521: Under the order of the Emperor, conduct a thorough investigation into the Jiang Mansion
In the evening, Jiang Mansion was surrounded by the Imperial Guards.
Everyone held a torch, and the flames shot up high, as if they were going to burn a hole in the darkening sky.
It fell into the eyes of everyone in the Jiang family, reflecting their clear fear.
Mr. Jiang took his son, daughter-in-law, and everyone from the Jiang family.
He looked at the commander of the Imperial Guard sitting on a tall horse.
"May I ask, Commander, what crime did the Jiang family commit to deserve to be besieged?"
The commander of the Imperial Guard raised his hand, but his tone was sharp.
"This morning, Young Master Jiang of Guifu escaped from the army. We are ordered by the Emperor to conduct a thorough investigation of Jiang's residence."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Jiang couldn't stand and almost fell down.
Mr. Jiang supported her.
"Lord Commander, is there any misunderstanding? Although our child is usually a bastard, when it comes to national events, he should know the importance and not be a deserter!" Lord Jiang pleaded.
The commander of the Imperial Guard just looked at him coldly.
"This matter cannot be concluded until a thorough investigation is completed. Before that, no one is allowed to leave Jiang Mansion! Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy!"
After he finished speaking, the imperial guards behind him raised their spears and forced everyone in the Jiang family back into the house.
They closed the door and put a seal on the outside.
When Mrs. Jiang saw this, she immediately cried on her husband's shoulder.
She was extremely anxious: "I don't know where Xiao Ran is now. Did he come back to find the girl from the Xie family? If he is really caught by the Imperial Guards, what will happen to him?"
Mr. Jiang said solemnly: "The worst case scenario is imprisonment and whipping, and the worst case scenario is the whole family being exiled."
Deserting is a serious crime that affects the whole family!
Especially a family like Jiang Mansion, which was originally founded by military merit.
Hearing Master Jiang's words, Mrs. Jiang even cried and clapped her knees: "What evil have we done? Why did this happen to us!"
Mr. Jiang is still very calm even now.
It's just that he looks a little bad.
He put his hands behind his hands and said: "We all know Xiao Ran's nature. If he comes back to find Miss Xie on impulse, we can only think that for the current plan, we cannot mess up the situation."
"The charges have not yet been determined. According to the procedure, the emperor will definitely send officials to investigate and interrogate strictly. Remember, don't talk nonsense until Xiao Ran is found!"
Several people nodded repeatedly.
Cao Zirou, who had been standing nearby, turned pale with fear.
Is Jiang Mansion coming to an end?
Jiang Xiaoran actually dared to be a deserter!
She thought she had found a big tree to rely on.
But he didn't expect that he would be implicated first and become a guilty person!
Mr. Jiang was afraid that Mr. Jiang wouldn't be able to bear it, so he helped him back to his room first.
Mrs. Jiang turned around and saw Cao Zirou standing there.
She thought of Cao Zirou's thoughtfulness during these days.
He waved and asked her to come over.
"Zi Rou," Mrs. Jiang lowered her voice: "Now that the Jiang Mansion is in catastrophe, my aunt has no one else she can trust. She can only count on you."
"There is a small rockery door in the backyard that leads to the outside. The Imperial Guards don't know about it. I will send you out. You can find a way to go to Xie's house and inform Xie Yinxiang."
"If Xiao Ran is really at her place, tell him to hide it and not show his face."
There was fear in Cao Zirou's eyes. She looked at Mrs. Jiang: "Auntie asked me to go?"
Mrs. Jiang nodded: "Besides you, there is no one more suitable. I'm afraid the maid is unreliable."
There was really nothing she could do.
However, to Cao Zirou, such a decision sounded like a life-threatening talisman!
Mrs. Jiang just treated her as an insignificant person and wanted her to die!
What if she was discovered by the Praetorian Guards?
