Diandian, the cute group pet has a dragon Kaka to kill

Chapter 225: 5 Carriage

Such a big thing happened at the morning court today, and the backyards of every official in the capital were severely punished by the mistress.

Especially for the arrogant and domineering illegitimate sons, their mistress would tremble with fear when she thought of the mistakes they made outside. She would take this opportunity to kill the concubines who deserved to be killed, and send the illegitimate sons and daughters directly to the family temple if they were not honest.

When many ministers returned to the palace, they looked at the people crying and shouting without even giving them a glance.

He only left one sentence: "It's all up to the madam."

The officials knew very well that today the emperor had killed ten people in front of everyone, which proved that many things could not be hidden from the emperor's eyes.

As for what his family members did, I'm afraid the emperor knew about it a long time ago, but he was still diligent in the court, so he was not the one being beheaded today.

These people will be a disaster sooner or later if they stay at home. They are just illegitimate sons, and they will be gone if they are gone. As for illegitimate daughters, they are still of some use. They can be of some use if they are married to a decent family.

The same thing was happening in almost every official residence. Ordinary people passing by were so frightened that they could only cover their ears and walk away quickly.

The Left Prime Minister's Mansion was the cleanest. Except for his wife, there was no private room. The servants serving him and everyone in the Xia Mansion naturally received the news. When the father and son returned from the morning court, they went straight into the study.

"Father, I will leave for the border to deliver money soon. I'll trouble you to take care of the affairs in the mansion."

Grandfather Xia had been waiting for him at home since early morning. He nodded and said, "Everything is fine in the mansion. After you leave, I will close the door and refuse visitors. I will tell others that I am just recuperating. This will help me avoid the limelight."

After saying that, he took out a jade pendant from his bosom. Purple light could be faintly seen flashing on it, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.

"This was left by our ancestors a hundred years ago. It is said that when a daughter of the Xia family was born, this jade pendant was given to her. As for what is different about it, you can only ask Ning Bao."

"Remember, nothing is more important than this jade pendant, understand?"

The left prime minister threw down his robe and knelt on the ground: "Yes, I understand. This jade pendant will definitely be delivered to Ning Bao."

"Okay, okay, dad is always at ease when you do things."

"It's definitely not going to be peaceful along the way. I don't know why the emperor sent money to the border instead of food. Just do your job well."

"There are signs that the capital is going to be in chaos, so you might as well go out and hide, eh~~~

"

Thinking of the emperor's attitude during the morning court session, the left prime minister said, "The child saw no difference when he saw the emperor. He was just like usual, except that there was a hint of a smile on his face when he received the letter from the frontier."

"Moreover... the way the property was raided today is unprecedented."

Grandfather Xia also nodded: "During the reign of the previous emperor, there was no such thing either. At most, they searched the secret room. It seems that someone gave the emperor some advice, but... it's really wonderful."

The two talked for a long time in the study. When the Left Prime Minister set out, he also brought two carriages with things. Grandmother Xia ordered, "Hurry up, hurry up, put all the things prepared for Ning Bao up there, especially the new clothes. Don't leave any behind."

Seeing this scene, the left prime minister wanted to speak out to stop it, but he hesitated and finally couldn't help but said: "Mother~~~I am going on a business trip, not a vacation. Bringing so many things will affect the schedule."

Grandmother Xia: “!!”

The look in his eyes when he looked at his son instantly turned unfriendly, and the meaning was obvious: Just try to say it.

The fearless Left Prime Minister wisely kept his mouth shut and had no choice but to go to the palace first.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The emperor was busy reviewing memorials and didn't even raise his head, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

The left prime minister's ears turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "My mother made a lot of clothes for Ning Bao, and also prepared a lot of food and daily necessities. I came to ask the emperor if I can take it with me."

Hearing this, the Emperor raised his eyebrows slightly. He felt that it would be different to ask the Left Prime Minister about this matter. He said with a smile in his voice, "Oh? How many things did the old lady of the Xia family prepare?"

"Your Majesty, there are two large carriages, and they were not fully loaded when I came here."

The emperor laughed in the imperial study room: "Well, well, well, everyone says that the Xia family loves the princess who protects the country. It is true today."

"Since it's Madam Xia's gift, just take it. It won't take much effort. Things bought outside are naturally not as exquisite as those made by family."

The Left Prime Minister did not expect the Emperor to be so easy to talk to, and he quickly thanked him.

The next sentence was: "Then you can also help me bring something to Ning Bao as a gift for her canonization as a princess."

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, there is no need. My daughter has already been granted the title of princess, which is a great blessing. Your Majesty does not need to spend so much money."

He was terrified, thinking that the emperor was too good to Ning Bao, even his own child was no better than that.

When he was leaving the palace, looking at the gifts selected from the emperor's private treasury, each of which was the best of the best, the Left Prime Minister returned home in a daze.

After a few words of explanation at the door, the team escorting the silver and money set off.

The Yan family's carriage was parked at the gate of the capital. Seeing their son-in-law trotting over, they said, "This is something prepared for Miss Ning'er. Please take it with you."

Left Prime Minister: “…”

Looking at the three full carriages in front of him, he fell silent. Including his own carriages, there were five carriages in total. He felt that this trip to the border was for his little girl.

When official silver passes by, ordinary people and bandits will give way.

Most people don't dare to seek death, but there are always some who are daring enough. After leaving the capital city for a hundred miles, they will pass by a forest where hundreds of people are lying in ambush on the roadside.

"Boss, do you really want to rob the government silver? You'll lose your head."

"What's more, I heard that this money is for the old emperor to send to the border to buy food for the soldiers."

"Yes, why not just forget about it this time? We can make up for it by robbing a few wealthy businessmen next time."

Most of the robbers still have a trace of conscience. They know that the frontier soldiers have a hard life. They are well fed and well clothed, so they are unwilling to touch the official seal that saves their lives.

The man who is called the boss has a big heart. He thinks that it doesn't matter if he robs someone once, not to mention that those people's life and death have nothing to do with him.

"Hmph! I think you guys are cowardly. You are saying these things because you are afraid of being killed after robbing the official seal."

"You really make me look down on you. If you are afraid, just step back."

Seeing his stubborn attitude, some people began to think about leaving him, as they felt that they were not the same kind of people as him.

He then bowed and said, "Then I will withdraw first. All the proceeds this time will belong to the participants. I promise not to get involved."

Seeing someone move, those who were unwilling in their hearts also stepped back.

The robber leader saw dozens of people retreat in a short time, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He thought that after he succeeded this time, he would not let any outsiders stay.

The others were not fools either, and they were startled when they saw his expression.
