Chapter 262 The Sinner’s Daughter 10
"Ah, I'm not going..." Aunt Zhao, with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, was dragged out by the government officials.
"Auntie, auntie..." The two young girls held Auntie Zhao's hands and corners of her clothes, crying and miserable.
When she was dragged outside, she realized that everyone on the corridor was watching her quietly...
What the government officials thought was: This is how the family members of criminal officials who are to be escorted back to Beijing should look like.
The old lady was so angry that her well-maintained face was only slightly flabby and her face was trembling.
When the eldest lady saw the old lady like this, she immediately scolded her: "What does it look like? You can't even get up."
Aunt Zhao's servant girl immediately went up and helped Aunt Zhao up, while Miss Gongzi's wet nurse maid went up to pull and hug her, which was pretty decent.
"Sure enough, mud can't support the wall. I was born to be a small person." The old lady said bitterly and let Musk support her downstairs.
She also said to others that she hadn't slept all night and needed Musk's support to walk... The eldest lady looked at the old lady and followed her downstairs in silence.
Went downstairs and lined up all the way.
The family members on this floor of the Gu family all belong to the main house. There are 7 masters and 15 servants, for a total of 22 people.
A guard in Jinyi walked up to the old lady and said directly: "If nothing happens on your way back to Beijing this time, it will be regarded as your surrender."
The old lady naturally bowed her head slightly and made a promise. Surrendering is different from arrest. You can't escape on the road anyway, so why not just go back obediently.
Jin Yiwei looked at Xu Mian next to him and waved his hand: "Everyone get in the car and go back to Beijing."
Surprisingly, he was not escorted back to Beijing, but took a car! The old lady was surprised and happy, and with the support of Musk, she saluted: "Thank you, sir."
Xining rolled his eyes secretly and made the wrong salute. Looking sideways, Xu Mian stood there as if he was not involved.
So he bowed silently to Xu Mian to express his gratitude.
The butler's nephew hurriedly shouted to the store: "Where are the steamed buns we want?"
The store owner tremblingly held a large bag of steamed buns and carefully handed them over from the door. After the butler's nephew paid the money, he went to the relatively empty eldest son's car.
Just like when they were escaping, everyone got into the car separately, with the personal maid accompanying the car and the others outside the car. The difference is that there are five more Jinyi guards outside and twelve government officials who are escorting the car.
Among the twelve government officials, only four rode horses. The eight people followed the car and saw that even the slaves of the Gu family were basically sitting by the car. They secretly felt that official servants were more miserable than slaves.
The car was driving slowly, and Xining said to Fu Rong, who was nibbling steamed buns next to her: "Stop eating, how many have you eaten?"
Furong puffed up her cheeks and handed one over: "Little, Miss..."
Xining was angry and funny: "Okay, give the remaining two to Aunt Zhao. Then go to the eldest young master to get two more, just like I said, take them together."
With Aunt Zhao looking like this, she most likely didn't have breakfast, so her two younger siblings must have cried with her because she didn't have anything to eat.
Aunt Zhao didn't care, it was just that the eldest lady was marrying the girl from the first marriage, and then she became the aunt. But the two younger siblings they gave birth to belonged to the eldest lady, and because the eldest lady was kind, Aunt Zhao could take more care of them. The owner of the body is the eldest sister. She usually has a good relationship with her younger siblings and needs to be supported both emotionally and rationally.
Hearing this, Fu Rong could only take two cold meat buns, lift the curtains of the car, pause and get out of the car with the driver who was driving outside, get out of the car and follow the instructions.
Xining opened half of the car curtain and took a look. I happened to see Jin Yiwei riding a horse not far away. Although they all covered their faces at this time and were all in pitch black, with the same clothes and the same horses, they could distinguish Xu Mian at a glance. Xu Mian was not the only one wearing the Xiuchun Dao. The knife was hidden in his wide cloak.
Most of the Jin Yiwei are tall, with straight backs and martial arts skills.
But Xu Mian always felt that there was a cold air all over his body, and not a single blade of grass could grow within three meters. Even though there was a distance, I still felt a chill on my back.
The Jin Yiwei seemed to be extremely alert. Xu Mian felt that someone was looking at him. He looked over with a gloomy gaze and saw Gu Wanxin sitting in the car.
Xining tried his best to smile, but at most the corners of his mouth twitched, and lowered the curtains.
Seeing Miss Gu's maid getting out of the car to deliver meat buns and steamed buns, the escort on foot looked at the head of the horse, while the officer on horseback looked at the Jin Yiwei.
Jin Yiwei didn't say anything, so they just turned a blind eye.
After Furong came back, she said that Aunt Zhao cried when she got the meat buns. Third sister snatched one away and stuffed it into her mouth in a hurry. She was obviously starving. When the eldest young master found out, he asked someone to give some of the steamed buns in the car to the younger young master.
Xining could only shake his head at this. Even if he was about to die, there was no point in crying. The most important thing was to have a full meal first.
It was almost noon now, and we would be able to reach the nearest inn in a while. I was in a hurry when I came here and didn't stop. After a full day's journey yesterday, I might not be able to reach the capital until midnight today.
Only a "swish" sound was heard, and an arrow flew straight towards the black-clad Jin Yiwei. The arrow was very powerful and passed directly through him, immediately knocking the opponent off his horse.
"Whoosh whoosh~" More than a dozen arrows flew from the bushes nearby. The sound of arrow feathers and arrow edges cutting through the air was extremely harsh.
"There is an ambush!" The officer on horseback tried hard to control the frightened horse. As soon as he finished shouting, the horse under his crotch was shot through the neck by a crossbow. There was a "squeak" sound, and the four hooves twitched twice and never moved again. The official fell to the ground, his face turned pale with fright, he drew out the sword from his waist and slashed at the flying sword.
The Jinyi guards and officials dismounted from their horses, using the horses as a barrier, they drew their swords one after another and deflected the incoming arrows.
The six cars blocked the arrows to varying degrees. An arrow shot from outside the car through the wall of the car where Xining was sitting and fixed on the inner wall of the other half, scaring Fu Rong into screaming. There were also screams in other cars, but Aunt Zhao's voice was the loudest and lasted the longest.
Crossbow! Xining was shocked.
If it's powerful, it's either a thousand-jin bow or a crossbow. Not many people can draw a thousand-jin bow, but a crossbow is much easier.
However, crossbows are weapons controlled by the government. They are mostly used on the battlefield and in the imperial guards, and are not available to ordinary people.
After shooting a volley of arrows, about thirty strong men in smart attire rushed over from the grove, holding swords.
When the coachman saw it, he immediately whipped the horse several times and drove away quickly.
Xining carefully lifted the car curtain and looked back. There was smoke and dust billowing from behind, and the two parties fought each other, killing you to the death. But obviously the opponent has the advantage in numbers!
Those people had a clear goal. Instead of chasing the carriage, they just stared at the remaining four Jinyiwei, so the Jinyiwei were surrounded by the most people...
The car had turned a corner, and the six cars ran like crazy, trying to stay as far away from the fighting place as possible.
Sitting in the car, Fu Rong hugged her in shock, while Xining looked at the crossbow arrow inserted into the inner wall in front of him. Even though the arrow penetrated the car wall, it still penetrated half an inch deep into the inner wall.
Feeling extremely uneasy, Xining took a deep breath, calmed down, felt it, and immediately cursed.
What the hell? The body owner actually asked her to do this.
