Chapter 171 Under Distress
Chu Cailiang was stunned when he heard Chu Junlan's words.
He suspected that he had heard it wrong!
"You said, Ma Yan pretended to be me and went to assassinate the emperor, and he had been arrested?"
"Yes, my elder brother and I found someone who pretended to be you and entered the palace. We immediately used our connections and tried to stop the person before the other party made an action. Unfortunately, it was still one step late. At the banquet of officials, when the elder brother found out that Ma Yan was pretending to be you, he had already walked to the emperor. In order to save the car, his elder brother was stabbed, and his life and death were uncertain." Chu Junlan's face was calm, but his voice was trembling slightly.
Aunt Wang and Chu Mengying, who had woken up in a daze, were hearing these words.
"Impossible! How could he lie to me!" Aunt Wang screamed and blurted out in shock.
Her mind was completely confused. She had clearly agreed that she fainted, got the key, and stole Chu Cailiang's wealth and silver. Ma Yan would take them and his mother and son to fly away.
She finally convinced Chu Mengying to help and brought her daughter to the study. As soon as the incense of ecstasy was dropped, the two of them lost consciousness together. When they woke up, they heard this news!
Ma Yan deceived her?
Impossible! Has their tenderness been fake over the years?
Aunt Wang stood up angrily and rushed towards Chu Junlan: "You are talking nonsense! You are thinking of ways to write us in order! You..."
"Auntie!" Chu Mengying covered Aunt Wang's mouth and forced her away.
Aunt Wang barely came to her senses and looked up at Chu Cailiang and Chu Junlan to meet the inquiring eyes that looked at together. Then her heart thumped and suddenly woke up.
"Wang." Chu Cailiang lowered his face and asked in a deep voice: "What do you know? What do you mean by essaying you? Sister Lan talked about Ma Yan's evil deeds, but did not say you, why did you put yourself in Ma Yan's list? Or... what is your ulterior motive for Ma Yan!"
"I don't! Master, I am just too shocked and I will speak without saying anything. I..."
"She has an affair with Ma Yan," Chu Junlan said calmly, "The reason why my daughter was pushed out of the attic was because Qiannian broke the scandal between Ma Yan and Aunt Wang in the small garden. Aunt Wang was worried that I would tell her, so she asked Ma Yan to kill her."
"You're talking nonsense!" Aunt Wang roared angrily.
Chu Mengying even screamed: "Why are you slandering my mother? What evidence do you say so?"
"There is no evidence," Chu Junlan said frankly, "It is precisely because I have no evidence that I have never said it. But now, Aunt Wang can even make a fool of herself and help Ma Yan assassinate the emperor. She said that she has nothing to do with Ma Yan. Will her father believe it?"
Chu Cailiang looked at Aunt Wang with a pale face: "What a Wang family! What a bitch! I'll kill you!" As he said that, he rushed towards Aunt Wang and pinched her slender neck with both hands.
Aunt Wang rolled her eyes when she was pinched and screamed: "Help, help!"
"Dad! Let go of my mother, don't listen to that bitch Chu Junlan's one-sided words!" Chu Mengying pulled Chu Cailiang, but when she saw that she couldn't pull, she turned around and rushed towards Chu Junlan, "You harm my mother, I want you to die!"
Chu Junlan kicked the man to the ground with one kick, stepped forward and lifted Chu Cailiang's collar and took off the man to the side.
"If you kill her, you will die without evidence. Do you really want him to die?"
Chu Cailiang choked and stopped moving.
"It's better to think about how to solve the current situation." Chu Junlan said coldly, "The emperor's people are probably coming soon. If you don't think about how to deal with it, I'm afraid that our whole family will die. Then there will be no question of how to punish Wang."
The anger was extinguished by a scoop of cold water on his head. Chu Cailiang, who had been blinded by the sudden incident, finally realized the most important thing at the moment.
The emperor was furious, and even the first-rank official could not stand it, let alone a doctor in the Ministry of Works who had just been promoted to the fifth-rank?
Thinking of those examples of the family killing the nine clans, Chu Cailiang burst into cold sweats, and his constitution was completely gone.
Chu Mengying covered her painful belly and staggered to help Aunt Wang up. The mother and mother hugged her head and cried.
Chu Junlan was angry when he saw the cowardly appearance of these three people, and sneered and turned around and went out.
When the incident happened, her first reaction between her and her elder brother was to protect the Chu family.
The eldest brother even entered Fushou Garden regardless of his own safety.
But now that he calmed down, Chu Junlan became suspicious of their choice.
Is it really worth it for such a family?
She walked step by step towards the front yard, her steps slowly and heavy, and her whole body seemed to be surrounded by the solid dark air.
If the elder brother has a long and two shorts...
She let everyone be buried with her!
Just as she walked to the front yard, a violent sound of hitting the door suddenly rang through the night sky, and the birds living among the trees flew open in shock.
"Who! It's midnight, I'm trying to die!" As soon as the doorman of the Chu family fell asleep, he cursed and went to open the door, complaining that he was kicked in front of him without waiting for the exit.
"screw you!"
"Oh my mother!"
With a painful cry from the door, a group of Jinyiwei rushed in with torches.
Then the one who broke in was the Royal Imperial Guard.
Chu Junlan stood there, watching two groups of people coming towards him, without dodging, and was directly held down by his shoulder.
The Chu family was in chaos.
The masters and servants of each room were driven to the open space of the main courtyard by the Jinyiwei and the imperial guards.
The old lady disheveled her hair, and was wearing a tea-gold robe over her middle robes, cursing: "You are back! Do you know where this is! My son is a fifth-rank official in the court!"
"Fifth grade? Even the first grade is useless now!" The Jinyiwei slapped the old lady's back with a scabbard, almost knocking the person out of breath.
Zhou, Aunt Sun and others hurried to help, but were beaten equally by the imperial guards next to them.
"Everyone squats down! Squat honestly!"
Seeing that my mother and wife were beaten, Chu Caijun squatted on the ground with his head covered and whispered: "Who are you? Why did you break into our house to commit crimes!"
"The Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guard were ordered to handle the matter, how dare you ask why?"
"There are people in your mansion assassinating the emperor, wait for the whole family to be executed!"
...
After leaving these two sentences, the Jinyiwei and the leader of the Imperial Guard ordered people to surround the front yard, and drove all the masters and servants of the Chu family here like ducks, and surrounded them tightly.
And the words "assassinate the emperor" and "slaying the whole family" have scared everyone.
The old lady squatted on the ground, watching the people rushing into the room again, as if they were searching the house, and said sharply: "Has you made a mistake? I'm having a birthday today, and the guests at home have only been away for a while. How could we assassinate the emperor?"
"Make a mistake? You old guy is such a big tone! The emperor issued an order, how dare you say you are wrong?" The strong Jinyiwei pulled out the embroidered spring sword in half, and the cold light flashed really scary.
Chu Cailiang hurriedly rushed over and covered the old lady's still refuting mouth, and said, "You don't want to die! The disaster is coming, don't shut up!"
The old lady wanted to blame Chu Cailiang for his bad attitude towards her mother. When he met his son's red eyes, his words immediately choked on his throat.
Is it true?
Chu Junlan, Zi Yan, Baole and a few people in the living yard squatted in the corner. Not far from them were Lu Xiangxiang, Madam Xu and Xinyayuan's slaves.
Lu Xiangxiang's long hair was loose, she was wearing only a snow-white middle suit, holding her shoulders and lowering her head in embarrassment, and was trembling by the cold wind of the autumn night. The servants beside her were not much better, only Madam Xu was dressed neatly, obviously she hadn't fallen asleep yet.
Chu Junlan saw Lu Xiangxiang's thin and weak back as if she would be blown away by the wind at any time. Although she didn't understand the intention of this person to marry into the Chu family, she still felt compassion and took off her cloak and threw it to her.
Lu Xiangxiang was covered by a thing with a light medicine box and took it off in surprise. When he saw that it was a thick light green cloak.
Chu Junlan said: "You put it on."
Lu Xiangxiang looked grateful, and pursed his pale lips: "Thank you."
“No need.”
Chu Junlan looked elsewhere, but she didn't care about it.
It was already deep in the night. In October, the cold wind in the capital was soaking the bone marrow in the middle of the night. Most of the Chu family were caught directly from the bed. Like the old lady, she quickly hugged her shoulders and shivered coldly.
Zhou hugged his shoulder and sneezed loudly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Do you want to freeze us to death? If there is a house, why do you have to squat here in the middle of the night?"
Zhou's fanned the flames and caused several older and more senior mothers with some status to complain.
Chu Cailiang scolded with a deep voice like water: "Shut up!"
He roared and alarmed the Jinyiwei who was guarding the side. The neat sound of drawing swords came: "What are you doing! You are looking for death!"
Another guard sarcastically said, "I'm going to behead my head. When you suffer, you still dare to complain about the cold?"
"If you can feel cold, be happy. It's cold, at least it proves that you are still alive!"
After the imperial guards' words, Zhou's face turned pale and he was completely panicked: "I really want to behead my head? I'm not from their family, I'm just here to visit!"
When the old lady heard this, her eyes lit up, "Yes, yes! We are just here to visit! Why do we have to behead our heads and even the guests have to be chopped together? Whoever does such unethical things that are harmful to the sky will die, why do we need to be buried with us!"
Chu Caijun's two concubines and several children were crying, and the loudest howling were Zhou and Chu Caijun.
"We are wronged, we are not their family!" Chu Caijun came over to pull Chu Cailiang, "How did you cause trouble? Tell me to the official masters! Don't take care of us tired!"
Chu Cailiang's eyes were so bloody that he looked at his mother and brother in disbelief, gritted his teeth and said, "You move here, eat mine, live in mine, use mine, and use my name to visit relatives and friends and hold a big banquet. Why don't you say that it has nothing to do with me at that time?"
