The group of Jianghu people hired by Bian Tong were dumbfounded. How could they expect these commoners to break into someone else's house?
Once people saw benefits, they could no longer be peaceful. The idea of hating the rich had existed since ancient times. Moreover, these people had already broken in today. If they could take away something here, it would be enough for their family to eat for a year and a half.
When the commoners saw real money, they naturally did not care about anything else. The force of the crowd made the Jianghu people shrink back.
They were also hired, and they were only paid to solve the problem. At this time, the main family was already in a panic. There was no need for them to do anything for the main family.
Under the deliberate instigation, dozens of commoners rushed in crazily to rob, shouting that they wanted to uphold justice for Prince Zhongshun.
Once the people rushed into the different rooms, it became harder to catch them. The women in the house screamed and the servants ran away.
Bian Ruohan stomped her feet in anger and shouted furiously, "Stop! Stop! Put them down! Those are my things! Put them down! "
Bian Ruohan lifted her skirt and was about to rush forward, but she was stopped by Bian Tong.
"Madam, if you rush forward now, I'm afraid you'll be in danger. You'd better stay calm …"
"Bah! How can I stay calm?! Those are all bought with my own money! "
Bian Ruohan seemed to have lost her heart. She took the initiative to come to Huichuan County first because she did not want to lose to Qin Yining. If Qin Yining could do it, why couldn't she, Bian Ruohan, do it?
However, when she went out, no matter if it was her in-laws or her maiden family, they did not approve of her going out. She carefully fawned over them for a long time before she finally got the chance to go out. Moreover, she vowed that she would do everything well in Huichuan County, and she would not need a single cent from Lu Heng and her family.
All the money she saved over the years, in order to please Lu Heng, she used it all on this house. Now that the mob had rushed in to rob, how could she let it go?
"Quick, go and find someone. Go and inform the yamen!"
Bian Ruohan finally remembered that at this time, she could find someone to help her.
When the commoners nearby heard that Bian Ruohan was going to tell the yamen, they wanted to stop while they were ahead. It was better to rob something than to be caught by the yamen.
Therefore, the leader shouted, "That woman is going to tell the yamen! Let's go! "
The commoners inside immediately grabbed their things and ran out.
There were also a few hotheaded youths with bulging bags in their arms and vases of calligraphy and paintings. When they heard that the government was coming, they didn't want to leave at all. They shouted, "We are upholding justice! That shrew can bully Prince Zhong Shun's family, why can't we avenge Princess? ... Even if the yamen, the yamen's! "
Tang Ruohan, Tang of the people in the crowd, of the people's of course, of Huai......
However, before they could walk out, more commoners rushed in from the outside. They had heard the news and ran over without even putting on their raincoats.
The people inside were squeezing out, while the people outside were rushing in. The scene was chaotic, as if there was a battle going on. Bian Ruohan and the others were pushed to hide behind a water jar in the corner.
At this time, a loud shout came from outside, "Everyone quiet! The Princess Consort is here! "
Tang Ruohan and the others in the crowd were delighted. They quickly echoed, "The Princess Consort is here. Everyone, don't make a fuss. Let's see what the Princess Consort has to say!"
They were the ones who had instigated the citizens in the beginning. Although they were unfamiliar faces, they still had some authority in their words. Gradually, the citizens stopped talking.
Qin Yining was wearing a lotus colored robe. Her long hair was neatly tied into a bun and secured with a simple jade hairpin, revealing her slender and beautiful neck. The continuous heavy rain made the weather extremely cold and damp. Qin Yining still had a white cloud shawl draped over her shoulders. Two oil-paper umbrellas were opened for her, one on the left and one on the right. When she walked over slowly, the wooden clogs on her feet made a crisp "tap, tap" sound on the wet ground.
Some of the commoners had seen Qin Yining at the wang fu yesterday, while others were seeing her for the first time. But when they saw her, the noisy courtyard immediately quieted down.
"Princess Consort." At this time, the head constable rushed over with the bailiffs. When he saw Qin Yining, he stopped in his tracks and bowed.
Qin Yining nodded to return the greeting.
The commoners in the courtyard immediately exploded.
"The bailiffs are here! We can't leave! "
"What are you afraid of? We're upholding justice!"
"But he won't let us go!"
… …
Qin Yining turned around to look at the commotion in the courtyard. Then she smiled and said to the head constable: "May I ask for the head constable's surname?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare. This one's surname is Guo."
Constable Guo cupped his hands and bowed.
Qin Yining smiled and said in a low voice: "Constable Guo, today's matter is because of the grudge between the wang fu and the Lu family. Constable Guo must be involved in this matter, so you're in a difficult position. Who you arrest, who you don't arrest, what your superiors say in the future, what your superiors say. Constable Guo has been in the government for many years, so you should know better than a housewife like me. "
When Qin Yining said this, Constable Guo immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Princess Consort's words are reasonable. This one is currently worried about this matter. Not only this, but there are also so many commoners. This matter is truly difficult to handle. "
The law can't punish the majority. Could they arrest all the commoners present today? It would be good if there were orders from their superiors, but they were like a group of dragons without a leader. The most powerful person in the county yamen was the county magistrate. Now that he heard that something had happened, the county magistrate would shrink his neck and disappear.
If this matter was not handled well, wouldn't he be dragged out to take the blame in the future?
Qin Yining smiled and said: "I have something to say, and I hope Constable Guo can listen to me."
"Princess Consort, please speak."
"Today, I brought the wang fu's guards here, so the commoners shouldn't make a big deal out of this matter. I think that since this matter was caused by the relationship between the wang fu and the Lu family, it wouldn't be good to delay Constable Guo's work. Why don't you let us settle this matter privately? What do you think? "
Constable Guo almost jumped up in joy!
What a kind-hearted Bodhisattva. At this critical moment, someone actually stood up and took the trouble for him!
If the wang fu was willing to settle this privately with the Lu family, and not the Jingdong government, how much trouble would they save?
Such an understanding and reasonable Princess Consort was truly admirable.
Yesterday, he had been tormented by Bian Ruohan several times. In addition, yesterday's matter was caused by Bian Ruohan alone. When Constable Guo looked at Bian Ruohan, who was curled up in the corner of the courtyard, his eyes were filled with disdain.
