Turbulent Times Chapter 531: Family and family

(Thank you very much for the generosity and support of ‘DENNISSEE’.)

In the afternoon, Chen Danying wanted to go to a theater that was popular in the capital recently. Wang Junlin had nothing to do, so he went with her. When they met Nie Xiaoyu, who had just returned from outside the city, the three of them went to the neighborhood together. A newly opened Light Rain Theater.

While passing by a street, I saw a sea of ​​people at the intersection ahead, and I couldn't help being very surprised.

But soon they knew what was going on. In fact, it was Wang Junlin who caused all this.

The news that Yu's family was going to be ransacked and exterminated was spread, which naturally caused a sensation in the entire capital again. The Eight Great Clans of Guanlong have always shared the same hatred when faced with such life and death matters, but the other Seven Great Clans of Guanlong chose to remain silent on this matter, because they are very clear about the state of the emperor at this time, and they can force normal Under the circumstances, the emperor gave in, but if the emperor had lost his mind, they were unwilling to provoke him under forced circumstances, not to mention that the emperor's most trusted son, King Yang Liang of Han, had already entered the palace to face the emperor after receiving the news. He pleaded with the Yu family, but failed to make the emperor change his mind.

In addition, if the Yu family was in a strong period, the emperor might be hesitant to copy the capital of the Yu family if he issued such a decree, and the Yu family's lair in Xianyang would cause trouble or even rebel, but now the Yu family has no such strength and strength. Influence.

In the past, the lofty and noble family was ransacked and exterminated, and all kinds of people in the capital went to watch the fun, not to mention that there are many people who have been bullied by the Yu family for so many years. It is also a great joy to see the despair and pain of the former enemies, isn't it?

Of course, the main reason is that the emperor decreed to sell off the family members of the family. Who doesn't know that even ordinary lowly girls from high-ranking families are as beautiful as flowers. For famous. Not to mention that Yu Zhongheng has eight wives and seven daughters, all of whom are said to be beautiful, but the youngest one is only twelve years old. For those who have enemies with Yu's family, it would be a wonderful feeling if they could buy Yu's wife and daughter and then abuse them wantonly.

"My lord, I heard from Jingtian that Yu Zhongheng is good at dancing and music. The three dancers in the house spent a lot of money to get them. One was bought from Korea, one was a beauty from the Western Regions, and the other was a dancer from the Western Regions. Carefully selected women from Jiangnan, the dancers of the three teams were outstanding in themselves, and were trained by the Yufu for several years. The noble officials are all among the best, if they can take this opportunity to buy our theater and cultivate drama performances, they will definitely become the pillars of the theater." In the carriage, Xiao Yu said to Wang Junlin.

Wang Junlin smiled and said: "You are right, if you want to buy it, go buy it! Anyway, the road is blocked, and the carriage will not be able to go for a while, why don't we go down and have a look together."

Wang Junlin took the lead to get out of the carriage while talking, and Nie Xiaoyu and Chen Danying both put on veils and followed them.

The three of them came to the crowd in front of Yu's mansion, found a remote place and looked up, and saw that some of the men of Yu's family were tightly bound one by one, kneeling on the cold ground, with their heads hanging down, and a chain around their necks. steel knife.

The female family members stood against the wall one by one, crying and howling, and a group of dudes stood in front, pointing and picking at the female family members. It's just that Yu Zhongheng and Yu Zhengchao are not equal to the direct line of the family, and they have been taken away by the people of the Hou government presumably.

The specific sale of the female relatives of the Yu family naturally does not need to be done by the secret agents of the Hou government, but by the subordinate staff of the Ministry of Officials to do these things.

"These are the sons of honorable officials in the capital. They like to go to the rich and ruined families to choose their wives and go back to ruin them. I don't know where they are interested, and I am not afraid that such a tragedy will happen to them one day. !” A scholar in shabby clothes next to him pointed at the group of dudes in front, and said to his companion, his voice was full of gloating and hatred.

Wang Junlin turned his head and glanced at the two poor family scholars, knowing that the poor family and the aristocratic class had conflicts, and they were destined to have natural hatred for each other.

Wang Junlin waved his hand and called a guard behind him, and gave some instructions in a low voice. Report: "Master Hou, there are currently three people who want to buy Yujia dancers plus us. The official of the Ministry of Officials said that three companies should be auctioned. The highest bidder will get the dancer. The lowest price is five thousand taels of silver. I can't be the master."

"Xiaoyu, why don't you go in person." Wang Junlin frowned slightly, turned to Nie Xiaoyu and said, he was very interested in the changes that happened to Nie Xiaoyu recently, and he deliberately let Nie Xiaoyu experience various things. This kind of thing is a rare opportunity, so I want him to experience it for himself.

"Okay." After Nie Xiaoyu finished speaking, he walked over, and the guard quickly led his people to follow. Wang Junlin stood at the same spot and continued to watch the excitement. He always kept a low profile when traveling, and he didn't bring many people with him. No one would have thought that he would be a Marquis, let alone the famous poisonous general Qin Anhou. At this time, there were not a few people who came forward to buy the female relatives of the Yu family from the crowd. Nie Xiaoyu was wearing a veil and a loose gown, so she didn't attract too much attention when she went forward.

Not long after, Nie Xiaoyu brought thirty-six beautiful and graceful dancers out of Yu's mansion. Nie Xiaoyu directly asked the guards to bring them to Old Man Sun, and then walked directly towards Wang Junlin At this time, a little girl suddenly ran out from the crowd of women and children, hugged Nie Xiaoyu's leg and begged, "Sister, help me!"

Xiao Yu looked down at the little girl at her feet, and was stunned for a moment, but she didn't know what to do, but she saw a beautiful young woman in her twenties and eight years old who was sold by Yu's family and said sadly: "I beg you Give her a way out!"

As soon as the words fell, the young woman took out a knife and stabbed her chest hard...

The young woman attacked quickly and resentfully, and there was no warning before, so the subordinate officials of the nearby government had no time to stop them. Seeing the young woman staring at Xiao Yu with her eyes fixed, she fell to the ground, but her fingers kept pointing at Xiao Yu. The girl who had witnessed her mother's suicide with her own eyes and was already dumbfounded.

Nie Xiaoyu looked as if she was also stupid, and stood there motionless.

Wang Junlin hesitated for a while, and stood where he was. Chen Danying knew Nie Xiaoyu's identity, and was also very interested to see how Nie Xiaoyu would deal with it, so she stood still.

The eyes of the two of them were like lightning. They had already seen the location of the young woman's knife, so they knew it was hopeless. .
