There is Room For the Poor Daughter

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

Not only that, the first restaurant in the capital, the main home of the Eight Immortals, the Anguo Gongfu was surrounded by the Imperial Guards on that day.

At this point, the civil and military officials all looked sideways and stunned.

Thinking of the time when the Anguo Mansion was surrounded, many people broke out in a cold sweat, especially those officials who were close to the Anguo Mansion.

Anyone who can be an official in Beijing is not a fool. The emperor directly copied the mansion of Anguo without saying a word. A fool could guess that this might be related to the Eight Kings.

Royal Palace.

The emperor turned over with a sullen face and looked at the secret letter that the imperial guard had copied back from the An Guogong's mansion.

Now that the war in northern Xinjiang is still stalemate, he did not 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 ignorant things would dare to take risks at this time, leaking the route of transporting military rations to the old man, and even the military rations of the northern Xinjiang army were burned.

Can the soldiers fight without food?

The emperor read all the letters and found no other list of the Eight Kings' henchmen. He was very dissatisfied with this.

Although he had already let Jin Lingwei monitor the Eight Immortals, there were too many officials coming in and out. In order not to startle the snakes, there were not many of the Eight Kings' henchmen who could be identified.

Now that he has to clean up, this time he has to clean up completely, and he will not let go of the eighth one!

"An Guogong is a cunning and cunning man. He can't keep his hands behind at all. Let me check it carefully. I have checked all the properties of the Guogong mansion and his family's open and secret properties. I don't believe that I can't find anything at all. ."

Wei Qi led the order to retreat. 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 clasped their fists with each other and quickly separated without saying a word.

Before entering the hall, Yang Chenghua and Wu Jingyi glanced at each other, and the emperor actually sent Wei Qidu out, which shows that he was really angry this time.

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

Although there have been no particularly serious disasters in the past two years, there is still a general shortage of water in the north, and floods will still occur in many places in the south when the rainy season arrives. Live by tightening your belt.

Now it's on fire!

How to keep people from being angry and heartbroken? !

The two entered the hall, and when they saw the emperor whose face was so heavy that he was dripping with water, his back was bent a bit.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers at the border can't be short of food. Now that the military rations are burned, we must quickly find a way to replenish it." Wu Jingyi bit his head and explained the purpose of coming here, and then stood with his head bowed and daring to make a sound.

The emperor was silent, 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 while, and said with some difficulty: "I'm afraid that I can only collect food again. It is best to encourage large families to donate food."

The emperor had no other good solution: "Let's do it like this."

Compared with the previous pushback when donating medicinal materials, the officials were much more active in donating food this time.

No way, no one dared to touch the emperor's bad head at this time.

Especially after the Ministry of Punishment announced that Anguogong was the leader of the Eight Kings' henchmen in Beijing, and that Baxianju was the stronghold of the Eighth Kings' henchmen in Beijing, many officials had sleepless nights.

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

Yongjiahou Mansion.

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

In fact, Mrs. Dong is not very satisfied with this marriage. As the youngest son, Luo Hongyuan has been spoiled since childhood, and his temperament is not very good. His daughter is also stubborn. man, how are you going to live this day?

Hey.

Mrs. Dong was still worried about Dong Yuanyao's marriage. At this time, Mrs. Dong's steward came over: "Second madam, Mrs. Luo from the Wei Guogong's mansion is here, and she is in the old lady's house now, saying that she has something to say. ."

Mrs. Dong frowned, because the military rations were burned and the mansion of Anguo was copied. Now all the nobles are tacitly thanking guests behind closed doors. How could Mrs. Luo come here at this time?

"Go and talk to Yuanyao and ask her to change her clothes and go to the old lady's courtyard to meet the guests."

Mrs. Dong and the maid gave an order and 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 'um', still burying her head and embroidering her purse.

"Girl, come back and embroider again, it's not good to keep Mrs. Luo waiting for a long time." The maid reminded anxiously.

Dong Yuanyao ignored it, stopped after finishing the last stitch, and then slowly got up: "Let's go."

The eldest maid stopped for a while: "Girl, let's change into the clothes for seeing guests."

Dong Yuanyao lowered her head and looked at her clothes: "I think it's good, don't you think it's not good for people to wait for a long time? If you have to change your clothes and go there, it's time for them to go."

With that said, he stepped out of the door first.

The maids had no choice but to follow quickly.

As soon as Dong Yuanyao arrived at the door of Mrs. Dong's yard, she saw Mrs. Wei Guogong leading a group of maids and wives out quickly.

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

Dong Yuanyao frowned, stepped into the yard, and then saw her mother standing at the door with red eyes, a look of anger.

Soon, Dong Yuanyao knew what happened.

She was dismissed by the Duke of Wei!

Dong Yuanyao was stunned, looking at the angry mother and grandmother, but there was no shame in her heart, on the contrary, she was secretly happy.

Finally don't have to get married!

That night, everyone in the Dong family knew that Duke Wei's mansion had withdrawn from his relatives. In addition to sympathizing with Dong Yuanyao, everyone was full of doubts.

Why did the Duke of Wei want to retire?

Dong Yuanxuan glanced at his father with a solemn expression.

The prince of Duke Wei's mansion is the commander of Jingwei, and he is well-informed. Could it be that they have received any news? This is why you hurriedly distanced yourself from your family?

Dong Jiancheng also thought of this. Thinking of the people who were implicated in the Anguogong case during this period, he quickly looked at the old marquis and the prince: "Father, eldest brother, our family has nothing to do with Anguogong's mansion, right?"

The old marquis shook his head affirmatively: "Of course not anymore, I don't even go to the Eight Immortals often."

Dong Jiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, but the breath hadn't completely fallen. When he saw his half-brother's eyes dodging, he quickly raised it.

"Brother, you didn't."

Before he could speak, Dong Jianye hurriedly interrupted: "Of course I don't have it anymore."

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

The next day, the father and son's bad hunch came true.

Yongjiahou Mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers!

All the male members of the Dong family were taken away, and the female family members were ordered not to leave Dong's house.

This time, the Dong Mansion was in chaos.
