When Yang Ning and his group returned to the capital, the weather had become quite cold, and the atmosphere in the capital was also cold and bleak.
The gates of the capital have been closed, and the guards at the top of the city have been replaced with white helmets and white armor. Before they entered the city, Yang Ning felt a solemn atmosphere in the capital.
The capital city is prohibited from entering and leaving, but a door is opened. Yang Ning reveals his identity. Although this is the case, after some inspection, everyone entered the city.
The streets and alleys in the city are covered with white white. Before, the Jinyi Hou Qi Jing passed away. Several streets were covered with white white. Now the Emperor of Chu has passed away. The whole city is covered with white. White banners float in front of every household. There are few pedestrians on the streets, and it is cold and cold.
Yang Ning felt a little unlucky. This was his second time entering the capital. When he first entered the capital, he encountered the funeral of Marquis Jinyi. When he entered the capital for the second time, he encountered the national funeral of Emperor Da Chu.
This time I returned to Beijing, I went day and night, without delay.
In Jiangling, Gu Qinghan made some arrangements for the old house. The boss Guan Qicheng had already found someone to treat it. Mao Wenshou sent someone to take care of the old house. When he arrived at the Hou Mansion, he would select personnel to take care of it.
The origin of the black-clad man is unknown. Although it is easy for the Gu family to raise a person to eat, Yang Ning thought that this person had saved Gu Qinghan after all, so he brought him back to the capital. There were many people in the Jinyi Hou Mansion, so it was no problem to eat with one mouth.
The group rushed to the gate of Jinyi Marquis' Mansion and saw that the gate was closed, and a white banner was hung in front of the door. The emperor passed away and the whole country was mourned.
Qi Feng got off the horse and went up to knock on the door. It took a long time for someone to open the door. When the man saw Qi Feng, he was stunned for a moment. He looked up and saw Yang Ning who was turning over and getting off the horse. His eyes showed joy, and his voice was already trembling with excitement: "Criminal, you... are you all back?"
Seeing that his expression was wrong, Qi Feng frowned and said, "What's wrong? You don't look right? Why did this old man open the door?"
The man lowered his head and said, "You...you will know if you go in and take a look."
Yang Ning had already opened the carriage door and helped Gu Qinghan get off the carriage. When he walked to the door, he saw that the man looked strange, and knew something had happened and took the lead in the door.
Before he arrived at the main hall, he heard a scream like a pig killer came from the front. Yang Ning frowned and accelerated his steps. He saw a man being pressed to the ground from afar. A man next to him was holding a stick as thick as an arm, and hitting the man's butt in a row, shouting: "If you have a tongue, you only know how to eat, and he can't even scream."
Yang Ning was very surprised. Seeing that there were no other people in the yard except these people, it seemed a little deserted.
He walked slowly over, and before he got close, the people suddenly discovered that they suddenly appeared when they saw Yang Ning. They were stunned. The man holding the stick stopped in mid-air with a stick, as if he had a hole in it.
Several people looked at each other. The person holding the stick had already thrown the wooden stick to the ground, turned around and was about to leave. Yang Ning said coldly: "Stop!"
The man dared not disobey, stopped, turned around, and smiled awkwardly: "Criminal, are you... you... back?"
"Why do you want to run away when you see me?" Yang Ning said coldly.
"No..." The man had a smile on his face: "It's because my eyes are not good, I didn't see the prince, you...!"
"Are you blind?" Yang Ning sneered and glanced forward, but found that the main hall gate not far ahead was faintly hidden. He saw the figure shaking inside through the crack of the door, and asked in a low voice: "What's your name?"
"Criminal, my name is Tian Rong." The man said, "I'll report now and tell everyone that the prince is back." He turned around and was about to leave. Yang Ning had already reached out and grabbed it on his shoulder and said lightly, "I'll ask you, why do you want to hit him?"
Tian Rong looked embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "This...this is...this is doing things on order."
"Work on order?" A voice sounded behind Yang Ning: "Who was ordered by him? Who asked him to hit someone here?" It was Gu Qinghan who came over.
The man who was beaten raised his head and saw Yang Ning and Gu Qinghan, he was happy and said in a trembling voice: "Criminal, San... Third Lady, you... are back. If you don't come back, the little one will be beaten to death..." At this point, he actually shed tears.
There must have been a change in Yang Ningxin's prefecture, and he signaled everyone not to say much. He walked lightly to the door of the hall. Through the gap, he saw a large group of people kneeling in the room. Aunt Qiong was actually in the upper seat at this time, with Qi Yu carrying his hands on the left, looking cold and arrogant, and Manager Qiu on the right.
Yang Ning did not enter the door immediately, and stood outside the door with his hands on his back. He clearly heard the voice of Aunt Qiong: "...I want you to have a long memory. In the future, anyone who wants to shout a little boy will end up outside. Many of you have bought it from the mansion, and it is no different from a cow and horse. You are obedient and obedient. Only the master's words are followed. You must eat it in one bite, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Mr. Qiu said from the side: "Have you heard it clearly? The third lady is away, and the affairs in the mansion will be taken care of by Mrs. Qiong for the time being. Let me say another thing, there will be no young master or Aunt Qiong in the mansion in the future. Only the master and the wife. If anyone says the wrong thing again, it will be light to beat him. When the tongue is cut, he will not say the wrong thing."
The maids and servants just knelt on the ground and did not dare to say anything.
"Also, when Gu Qinghan was there, you were all ignorant. Some people rely on Gu Qinghan to support me and ignore this lady." Aunt Qiong said with a sharp voice: "This Marquis' Mansion is not the surname Gu, Qi Yu is your master. What he said is the king's law of the Marquis' Mansion. Have you heard it?"
Everyone said "yes," Aunt Qiong shouted in a sharp voice: "I'm all hoarse? Have you heard it?"
Then everyone said in unison: "I heard it."
"So there is still strength." Aunt Qiong sneered, "Why didn't you have the strength to answer just now? It's great, Mr. Qiu, these people don't have to eat tonight."
Mr. Qiu coughed and said loudly, "Did you hear it? The lady asked, and she would answer loudly in the future. If anyone is weak, don't eat this meal." After a meal, she said, "Also, half of the money for this month will be deducted, which is considered a punishment for you."
As soon as the words fell, a person said, "Mr. Qiu, this... isn't this suitable? The whole family is pointing at this little money to eat, if half of it is deducted...!"
"Why, not satisfied?" Qi Yu, who had not said anything, finally said: "It is difficult to find a six-legged toad, and a two-legged slave is everywhere. If you are not satisfied, get out now." He sneered: "Duan Canghai is more awesome than you? He has been having dinner in the Hou Mansion for many years, but he still said that he would get out like a dog? Are you even better than him? If you don't want to do it, stand up now and get out as far as you can."
Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to resist at this time.
"Yes, some people can go as far as they are." At this moment, everyone in the house heard a "creaking" sound, and the door had been kicked open. One of them stood in front of the door with his hands on his back, sneering. Although he was not tall, he had a terrifying aura.
Aunt Qiong and others looked up almost at the same time. When they saw Yang Ning standing in front of the door with both hands on their backs, they suddenly changed their color. The maids and servants kneeling on the ground turned their heads and looked over. Seeing Yang Ning, many people's eyes were already showing joy, and some even shouted: "Yes... it's the prince, the prince is back!"
Manager Qiu was also shocked, his face changed slightly, but he instantly smiled. He quickly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Criminal, you are back."
Yang Ning glanced at him and said lightly: "It seems that some people don't want me to come back." He walked straight forward, and the people kneeling in the hall dodged a way. Yang Ning walked to the main seat and did not look at Qi Yu, staring at Aunt Qiong. Aunt Qiong tried his best to calm himself down, his eyes were full of resentment, and he also looked at Yang Ning.
"What do you want to do?" Seeing Yang Ning staring at him with a chill in his eyes, Aunt Qiong felt a little nervous.
Yang Ning said lightly: "You are so adult, and you don't have any vision. If you can't get up, go to the side. Can you sit in this position, your aunt?"
"You...!" Aunt Qiong was angry, "Qinning, you dare to talk to me like this? I... I am your elder after all, do you have any rules?"
"This is what I want to say to you. Do you have any rules?" Yang Ning said coldly: "When will it be your turn to make decisions in the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion? Don't you get out of the way."
"I don't want to live anymore..." Aunt Qiong shouted: "Let's find someone to judge, you, an unfilial son, dare...!"
"Aunt Qiong doesn't want to live, I don't know how to die?" Yang Ning interrupted before she finished speaking, "Do you want to hang yourself? Or do you want to cut your throat? Or are you going to jump off the building?" Yang Ning said slowly, "I will bring you a rope when hanging you, and I will bring you a knife when slit your throat. If you are going to jump off the building, I will ask someone to find a ladder for you. How about it, what do you want to choose?"
Qi Yu kept clenching his fists, and at this moment he finally said sternly: "Qinning, don't bully people too much."
"It's too much to deceive people?" Yang Ning sneered: "I guess you mother and son are even more powerful when I'm not in Beijing." He raised his hand and pointed to the servants who were kneeling in the house, "What are the mistakes they have made? What qualifications do you have to kneel down when you want them to kneel down? What reason do you have to deduct wages when you have to deduct wages? You say that some of them bought cattle and horses, but it's just because their family is poor and they want to make a living. People are human beings, what's the matter with cattle and horses?" He turned around and said: "You all got up."
Yang Ning's words immediately made everyone happy. He felt that the prince suddenly became tall and majestic. Yang Ning gave an order, and everyone stood up one after another and said, "Thank you, Prince!"
Seeing this, Aunt Qiong was anxious and angry and said, "They are just servants and don't understand the rules. Do I not even have the qualifications to discipline my servants?"
