Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty Sixth Lady Jin Yun Declares the Decree in Front of the Door
Jin Yun was standing in the yard, Ping'er was standing aside, and Chang Fuchang was standing on either side of them. At this time, Jin Yun was calmly in charge of beating the officials who were making trouble in front of the door.
Chang Xiao was very pleased. Is this the same Jin Yun who was dragged to the streets by an uncle's son before? She is simply a hero among girls!
Chang Xiao glanced at Qing Niao and said proudly: "There are your two masters in the yard. If you don't obey, be careful they will beat you with the soles of their shoes!"
Qing Niao was a little dazed. She had heard about this kind of beating of court officials in the street from Chang Xiao, but this was the first time she saw it. Even though she was a cultivator, she looked at those officials who usually had five to six people.
We were whipped up by the servants and ran around, calling them daddy and mommy. We couldn't help but feel a little shocked. Everything in the world has rules. Within the rules, everything is normal. Outside of the rules, people feel shocked.
, obviously the current scene is completely outside the rules!
Qing Niao really couldn't imagine that such a thing could be done by a woman. This was so lawless!
Chang Xiao was quite proud to have a wife like this. Seeing Jin Yun and Ping'er looking haggard, they were obviously worried about him. Chang Xiao felt a warmth in his heart. Just as he was about to enter the house to reunite the couple, Chang Xiao suddenly looked at her.
For a flash, a gleam of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Immediately, the whole street shook. There was the sound of horse hooves and the sound of people running neatly in the distance. Listening to the direction of the sound, these people were running towards this direction. Chang Xiao was rolling out of the army.
The character is very familiar with this kind of sound. He can tell how many people are coming from the other party as soon as he hears it. Chang Xiao knows that there are at least a thousand people without even thinking about it!
Apart from Chongzhen, Chang Xiao could not think of anyone else who could mobilize a thousand soldiers in the capital! Even the officials from the six departments combined could not do it, because the soldiers in the capital were only restricted by Chongzhen.
A trace of doubt flashed in Chang Xiao's eyes now. He didn't know what these soldiers were here to do, to protect the Chang family, or to tear down the Chang family? So Chang Xiao paused slightly in his original step and took it back again.
Qingxiao's eyes suddenly lit up. It was great. Although she didn't know what these soldiers were here for, in her opinion, the more trouble Chang Xiao had, the better. The more things Chang Xiao had to do, the less time he had.
It doesn't take long, three to five days is enough.
The beaten officials suddenly jumped up violently, as if they had been given a large dose of stimulants. Some of them laughed wildly and shouted: "Treacherous ministers, traitors, Chang Xiao, this must be the emperor's decree to kill you."
The dog’s head is gone. The Emperor declares the Holy Spirit!”
Those officials who had been crying and running around like mice crossing the street just now, had not yet wiped away the tears on their faces, and they all laughed and started making noises.
"Treacherous! You have brought trouble to the government. The emperor has finally seen your true face! How dare you, those of you who are working for the tiger, to be so presumptuous at this time?"
Seeing that all the officials suddenly stiffened up, the momentum of the more than fifty servants immediately dropped.
You must know that the news that Chang Xiao may have died and never come back has already spread in the Chang family. After all, what happened in Guangji Temple was not visible to the servants of the Chang family who stayed in Guangji Temple.
It was clear as day, no matter if this news was spread by the Chang family, it was spread among all the wealthy families in the capital! The more it spread, the truer it became, and Chang Xiao had indeed left without a trace and never returned, so the rumors became more true.
Chang Xiao is the backbone of the Chang family. If something goes wrong with Chang Xiao, the Chang family will be disbanded immediately. There is no other reason. Chang Xiao offends too many people on weekdays. No one in the civil or military court says Chang Xiao is good.
Under the guidance of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the common people regarded Chang Xiao as a treacherous bandit who brought trouble to the Ming Dynasty.
When such a Chang family has Chang Xiao around, it is like a giant pillar holding up the sky. The people are afraid of the officials, and no one dares to do anything against the Chang family. Chang Xiao's name can scare them to death!
But once Chang Xiao is gone, the Chang family will become a piece of stinky meat and be trampled into powder by the officials and people!
A group of servants were hesitating. One of the servants said: "Don't listen to them. The emperor has always been very kind to our Chang family. He must have sent someone to protect our Chang family from the common people this time!"
As soon as this man spoke, all the servants were stunned. Yes, maybe they were sent by the emperor to protect them, although they did not need these soldiers! With a little confidence in their hearts, the Chang family servants all raised their heads.
Looking towards the street.
At this time, the heads of two fast horses were exposed at the street corner, followed by a team of thousands of infantry. This team had gold helmets and silver armor, and shining swords and guns. At first glance, they were not ordinary infantry, but Chongzhen's infantry.
Praetorian Guard.
These imperial guards were well-trained. They trotted forward and shouted together. In a short time, they surrounded the Chang Mansion. After these soldiers, they were followed by two eunuchs. The two eunuchs rushed to the Chang Mansion in a menacing manner.
At the door, a group of officials and people glanced at each other, and then one of them pulled out the imperial edict, ignoring the closed door behind him, and announced the edict in the street.
All the common people and officials knelt down on the ground, and even the fifty or so servants also knelt down.
Emperor Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict: The three members of the Jinyi Guards always laugh at the same knowledge, deceive the emperor, ignore the superiors, practice lawlessness, and confuse the public with evil words...
At this point, everyone knew what the imperial edict was going to say. The officials and the people all cheered and jumped for joy, shouting that the emperor was wise. Only some more cautious people were still listening to the final words of the imperial edict.
The faces of the Chang family's servants all changed. They were coming to liquidate the Chang family! There was a commotion immediately! When the scene was chaotic, a group of soldiers immediately stepped forward to suppress it. After a while, it returned to normal, and everyone continued to listen to the imperial edict.
.
Chang Xiao stood far away on the street corner with a faint sneer on his face. At this moment, he no longer had any good impression of Chongzhen.
Chang Xiao didn't need to think about it to know what exactly happened. Chongzhen must have thought that Chang Xiao was dead and had no use value. Of course, the living Chang Xiao could use the sharp knife in Chongzhen's hand to stab people, but the dead Chang Xiao
Laughing is like turning a sharp knife into scrap metal and becoming a useless thing!
The officials also had their own channels of information. They got the news about the incident at the Ksitigarbha Compassion Tower and thought that Chang Xiao was dead. The person they feared the most was dead!
At this time, a good show was staged. All the officials came together to make things difficult for Chongzhen. At this time, Li Zicheng was making trouble everywhere, and the emperor Taiji's troops were pressing down on the country. At this time, the court must not be in chaos again, so Chongzhen gave in, so
With this imperial edict, Chang Xiao's smile turned even colder when he heard that his house was ransacked, his servants were sent away, and his wife and concubines were temporarily detained and listened to.
Chongzhen is seeking death!
Although Chongzhen's imperial edict was not too ruthless, because the charges previously assigned to Chang Xiao could be seen, each of which was a crime of killing the clan. Chongzhen did not directly issue the edict, but only said that he would be detained for the time being, which is obviously not ruthless. But it is absolutely ruthless.
It makes no difference to Chang Xiao that he is not ruthless. He ran to the underworld to work for Chongzhen. Now, with his life and death unknown, he was stabbed in the back by Chongzhen. Could Chang Xiao still want to do it?
Weeping with gratitude because of Chongzhen's mercy?
Besides, this stabbing has nothing to do with being ruthless. A stabbing is a stabbing, and a stabbing itself is ruthless.
Of course, Chang Xiao didn't originally think that he had any great friendship with Chongzhen. There was none before, and even less so now. Everyone said that the emperor was ruthless, and Chongzhen performed this ruthlessness with great perfection.
Chang smiled and looked at the soldiers with slightly squinted eyes.
After the two eunuchs announced the order, they turned around and explained to the leading generals. After a few words, the generals pointed towards the Chang family gate, and a group of soldiers rushed forward.
At this time, Jin Yun in the courtyard finally felt an ominous sign. You must know that Emperor Chongzhen had always favored the Chang family. Chang Xiao had done so many lawless things in the capital, but nothing had ever happened.
It’s not because Emperor Chongzhen was supporting Chang Xiao, but now Chongzhen has turned his back. Combined with the news about the incident at the Ksitigarbha Compassion Pagoda that came back in the past two days, it is really possible that something happened to Chang Xiao...
Jin Yun couldn't help but feel a little weak when she thought about this. Fortunately, some confused Ping'er on the side subconsciously took it.
"Madam, those soldiers are about to break in."
The servant's words were trembling slightly. Killing others and being killed by others, ransacking others' homes and being ransacked are completely different concepts.
"Madam, let's protect you and leave here quickly. Don't worry, my young master will never end up here. I have a hunch that the young master will be back soon!"
Chang Fu Chang has two servants who are indeed Chang Xiao's closest servants. Such characters always play a key role at critical moments.
Jin Yun took a deep breath, apparently put down all the turbulent thoughts in her heart and calmed down, and said: "This Chang family belongs to my husband! No matter what the imperial decree is or not, whoever dares to step into the Chang family will be punished by me.
Chop off his feet!" Such words were beyond Chang Xiao's expectation. Only then did Chang Xiao suddenly realize that the wife beside him had unknowingly been able to take charge of her own business. It was even a bit spicy!
Seeing that the group of soldiers had already opened the gate of the Chang family and rushed into the Chang family, the soldiers were then thrown back and fell heavily to the ground!
I don't know when, Chang Xiao has arrived at the gate of Chang's house. At this time, Chang Xiao's face showed a faint cold smile, stepped over the threshold, and walked out of the door...
The officials, students and soldiers outside the door looked at this stiff figure in white robes and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but feel a chill in their backs...
