There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 689

[Chapter 689, Retire]

military rations were burned, the emperor was furious, and all the officials who participated in the ration transportation were arrested.

Not only that, but the main house of Baxianju, the No. 1 restaurant in the capital, Anguogong Mansion was surrounded by the imperial guards on the same day, and all personnel, regardless of gender, were thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Regarding this point, all civil and military officials looked sideways and were shocked.

Reminiscent of the time when An Guogong’s mansion was besieged, many people broke out in a cold sweat, especially those officials who were close to An Guogong’s mansion.

Anyone who can be an official in Beijing is not a fool. The emperor directly copied Anguo’s mansion without saying a word. Any fool could guess that it might have something to do with the Eight Kings.

royal palace.

With a sullen face, the emperor looked at the secret letter that the imperial guards had copied back from An Guogong’s mansion.

Now that the war in northern Xinjiang is still at a stalemate, he didn’t want to clean up the Eight Kings’ henchmen in the capital at this time, so as not to cause turmoil in the court.

After all, many of these people are in high positions.

But he didn’t expect that these lifeless things would dare to take risks at this time, leaking the route of transporting the military rations to Lao Ba, so that the military rations of the northern Xinjiang army were burned.

Soldiers have no food, can they still fight?

The emperor went through all the letters, but he couldn’t find any other lists of the Eight Kings’ henchmen. He was very dissatisfied with this.

Although the Baxianju had already been monitored by Jin Lingwei, there were too many officials coming in and out. In order not to startle the snake, there were not many Eight Kings’ henchmen who could be sure.

Now that it was time to clean up, he had to clean it up thoroughly this time, and he would not let anyone of the old man be spared!

“An Guogong is old and cunning. It is impossible for him to keep nothing behind him. Let me check carefully. I have checked all the properties of the Duke’s mansion and his family’s open and secret properties. I don’t believe that I can’t find anything. .”

Wei Qi took the order to retreat, and as soon as he left the hall, he ran into Yang Chenghua and Wu Jingyi who came to discuss matters with the emperor. The three of them hugged each other and quickly separated without saying a word.

Before entering the palace, Yang Chenghua and Wu Jingyi looked at each other, the emperor actually sent Wei Qidu out, it can be seen that this time he was really angry.

Not only the emperor, but also them, when they thought of the burned food, their hearts were bleeding.

Although there have been no particularly serious disasters in the past two years, there is still a general lack of water in the north. When the rainy season comes in many places in the south, there will still be floods. Tighten your belt to get by.

Now it is so burned!

How can we not make people angry and heartbroken? !

The two entered the main hall, and when they saw the emperor whose face was so heavy that he was about to drip, his back bent a little more.

“Your Majesty, soldiers at the border must not be short of food. Now that the army food is burned, we must quickly find a way to replenish it.” Wu Jingyi bit the bullet and explained the purpose of coming here, and then stood with his head bowed without daring to make a sound.

The emperor was silent and didn’t speak, and after a while, he asked, “Do you have any good ideas?”

Wu Jingyi didn’t answer, but looked at Yang Chenghua.

Yang Chenghua was helpless, hesitated for a moment, and said with some difficulty: “I’m afraid we can only collect grain again. It’s best to encourage big families to donate grain.” The

emperor has no other good way: “Let’s do it like this.

” They pushed back and forth when donating medicinal materials, but this time the officials were much more active in donating food.

There is no way, no one dares to touch the Emperor’s mold at this time.

Especially after the Ministry of Criminal Justice announced that An Guogong was the leader of the Eight Kings’ party in Beijing, and Baxianju was the stronghold of the Eight Kings’ party in Beijing, many officials could not sleep all night.

In just a few days, the mansions of many second- and third-rank officials were besieged, and the men were arrested and imprisoned.

Yongjiahou Mansion.

Mrs. Dong was arranging the dowry for Dong Yuanyao. After she returned to Beijing from Zhongzhou, the family announced a marriage for her daughter, Luo Hongyuan, the youngest son of Duke Wei.

Mrs. Dong is actually not very satisfied with this marriage. As the youngest son, Luo Hongyuan was spoiled since he was a child, and his temper is not very good, and his daughter is stubborn. People, how are you going to live this day?

Hey

, Mrs. Dong is still worried about Dong Yuanyao’s marriage. At this time, the nurse in charge of Mrs. Dong came over: “Second Madam, Mrs. Luo from the Duke of Wei’s mansion is here, and she is now in the old lady’s room, saying that she has something to do. Let’s talk.”

Mrs. Dong frowned, because of the burning of military rations and the raiding of Mr. Anguo’s mansion, all the dignitaries are tacitly thanking guests behind closed doors, how could Mrs. Luo come here at this time?

“Go and talk to Yuan Yao, let her change clothes and go to the old lady’s courtyard to meet guests.”

Mrs. Dong and the maid gave orders, and then walked to Mrs. Dong’s side.

On the other side, when Dong Yuanyao heard the news that Mrs. Wei Guogong was coming, she just gave a faint ‘hmm’ and was still embroidering her purse.

“Girl, come back and embroider again, don’t make Mrs. Luo wait for a long time.” The servant girl reminded anxiously.

Dong Yuanyao didn’t pay attention to it, she stopped after she embroidered the last stitch, and then slowly got up: “Let’s go.” The

big maid stopped her and said, “Girl, let’s change into clothes for meeting guests.”

Dong Yuanyao looked down . Take a look at your own clothes: “I think it’s pretty good, doesn’t it mean that it’s not good for people to wait for a long time, if you want to change clothes before going, they should go.”

Then, he stepped out of the room first.

The maids had no choice but to follow quickly.

As soon as Dong Yuanyao arrived at the gate of Mrs. Dong’s courtyard, she saw Mrs. Wei Guogong leading a group of maidservants and wives walking out quickly.

Seeing Dong Yuanyao, Mrs. Wei Guogong froze for a moment, then left quickly without saying a word.

Dong Yuanyao raised her eyebrows and stepped into the yard, and then saw her mother standing at the door with red eyes, looking very angry.

Soon, Dong Yuanyao knew what happened.

She was divorced by Duke Wei’s mansion!

Dong Yuanyao was stunned, looking at the unbearably angry mother and grandmother, but she didn’t feel any shame or resentment in her heart, on the contrary, she was actually a little secretly happy.

Finally, I don’t need to get married!

That night, everyone in the Dong family knew about Duke Wei’s mansion’s resignation. Apart from sympathizing with Dong Yuanyao, everyone was full of doubts.

Why did the Duke of Wei’s government withdraw their marriage?

Dong Yuanxuan glanced at his father with a serious look on his face.

The son of the Duke of Wei’s mansion is the commander of Jingwei, and he is well-informed. Could it be that they have received some news? That’s why he hastily separated himself from his family?

Dong Jiancheng also thought of this, thinking of the family implicated in the case of Mr. Ango during this period, he quickly looked at the old Hou Ye and his son: “Father, brother, our family has nothing to do with

Mr. Ango ‘s mansion, right?” Master shook his head affirmatively: “Of course not, I don’t even go to Baxianju often.”

Dong Chengcheng heaved a sigh of relief, but the breath had not been completely let go. When he saw his half-brother’s eyes dodging, he quickly lifted it up.

“Brother, you don’t have one.” Before he

could say anything, Dong Jianye interrupted hastily: “Of course I don’t either.”

Seeing him like this, Dong Jiancheng and Dong Yuanxuan felt more and more uneasy.

The next day, father and son’s bad premonition came true.

The Marquis of Yongjia was surrounded by officers and soldiers!

All the male members of the Dong family were arrested, and the women were ordered not to leave the Dong residence.

This time, the Dong Mansion was in chaos.
