The chief eunuch quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xu Jiajun really didn't want their lives.
Xu Yue asked: "Is there a roster?"
To be able to get such detailed data, there must be a roster.
The chief eunuch nodded, and Xu Yue asked the soldiers to follow him to get it.
When the two came back with the roster, the soldiers of the Xu family army had already herded all the maids and eunuchs in the North Palace to the square in front of the main palace.
There were more than two hundred people in total, occupying half of the square.
Xu Yue suddenly felt that it was ridiculous that the glory of the Zhao family that Zhao Yuanji never forgot was only this pitifully small palace in front of her.
Of course, this story is based on the Luoyang Imperial Palace for comparison.
If placed in an ordinary house, it would be very grand.
The soldier led the chief eunuch to Xu Yue and shook his head, "Chief, all the valuable objects in the North Palace have been taken away, not even a piece of paper is left."
The corners of Xu Yue's mouth twitched slightly.
Xu Dalang strode in from outside the palace gate. He was so fast that the chief eunuch felt that in just a blink of an eye, the young general, who was wearing armor and as tall as a bear, was in front of him.
Xu Dalang stood still in front of Xu Yue, and a large shadow enveloped him. The chief eunuch swallowed secretly, buried his head lower, and tried to reduce his presence.
Xu Dalang glanced at him, withdrew his gaze without interest, and said to Xu Yue:
"Every city gate has been replaced by our people, and the streets and alleys in the city have been cleared. I locked that Gongsun Baoqi in an official's empty courtyard. Do you think we can deal with the remnant of the dynasty like her?"
Remnant of the dynasty?
The chief eunuch took one look at the palace attire he was wearing and felt confused.
Xu Yue corrected her brother, "My name is Gongsun Baoyue."
Xu Dalang snorted coldly, his dislike was very strong, "She doesn't deserve to have the same name as you."
The moon can only be his sister.
Xu Yue was speechless, but now was not the time to correct her brother. She asked Xu Dalang to find some paper and pen. She wanted to count these palace people.
"By the way, brother, take the opportunity to bring back the maids and eunuchs who escaped from the palace. Be gentle and don't scare them." Xu Yue warned uneasily.
Xu Dalang responded indiscriminately, not sure if he had listened to Xu Yue's instructions. He came in a hurry, turned around and left again in a hurry.
It was not difficult to find some paper and pen in Nuo City, a large northern capital. There were always people who ran away without bringing all their belongings with them. Xu Dalang collected all these things and asked his men to deliver them to Xu Yue.
In addition to paper and pen, there are also many valuable ornaments, calligraphy and paintings.
Xu Yue asked her junior brother Zhu Bajie to include the ornaments in the public account, and she collected the calligraphy and paintings on her behalf.
The soldiers moved the tables and chairs in Beidi's study room to the front of the main hall, put paper and pens on them, and a temporary registration office was created.
The chief eunuch took the roster, called names, and re-registered the personal information of the palace residents.
Xu Yue was sitting behind him, drinking cold water and listening to the news coming from everywhere. Everything was so orderly.
…
Gongsun Baoyue had never seen such a quiet Beidu.
The imagined situation of Xu's army entering the city and plundering, burning, killing and looting did not happen.
Maybe they already knew that the valuable things had been taken away by Beidi and his party?
There was no one in the streets and alleys of the city. Xu Jiajun did not allow the people to go out and ordered the people in the city to stay at home.
The only sounds that came from outside the house were the patrols of Xu Jiajun soldiers, and the loudspeakers that could pierce eardrums, shouting:
The people in the city listen, consciously stay at home and don't go out. Anyone who violates this rule will be punished without mercy, regardless of the reason!
The loudspeaker shouted over and over again, and Gongsun Baoyue's ears almost became calloused.
She was tied into a rice dumpling by Xu Mo and thrown into the palace of the former captain general. The head of the family and the mother-in-law had already disappeared, leaving only a few concubines and two concubines.
After being threatened by Xu Mo, these concubines locked her in the woodshed and watched her closely, never leaving.
Even going to the huts is done in rotation.
However, Gongsun Baoyue had a distinguished status as the Queen of the North, and the ladies she usually met were at least legitimate wives. She would not even take a second look at these charming wives and concubines.
Therefore, even if she wants to get close to her right now, she will not be ignored.
Two hours have passed since the Xu Jiajun captured the city. The sun has set, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines down from the window lattice, filling the room with dusk.
Gongsun Baoyue's stomach growled, and her whole face turned red with embarrassment, fearing that the concubines outside the door would hear her.
"How about we give her a bowl of water?"
At the door, a woman's thin voice of discussion suddenly sounded.
Gongsun Baoyue suddenly became energetic. She shook her shoulders and banged against the white wall behind her. The reaction force made her shoulders hurt, but as long as she could talk to those concubines, she didn't care.
Up.
However, another woman said: "Goodbye. General Xu asked us to look at her and ordered us not to take a step closer to her. Don't be soft-hearted."
"Okay." The woman who made the suggestion at the beginning seemed to be persuaded, and the two of them reached a tacit understanding and remained silent.
Gongsun Baoyue: "!!!"
She refused to accept her fate and hit the wall twice more.
A woman's worried voice came from outside, but another cruel concubine reminded: "She is behind the gate, and we can't resist it, so just leave her alone!"
"If something happens to this person in our hands, you and I will both die!"
"Okay... why don't we go in and take a look? It was so hard that my teeth hurt when I heard it. Could it be that something really happened?"
With a "squeak" sound, the closed door of the woodshed suddenly opened a crack, revealing two pairs of large, inquiring black eyes.
Gongsun Baoyue rolled her body tied into a rice dumpling excitedly, looking at the two of them expectantly, hoping they would come over.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Gongsun Baoyue recognized that this was the voice of the soft-hearted concubine, and hurriedly made an expression like she couldn't hold back her urine.
Her mouth was also gagged with cloth and she couldn't speak at all, but the soft-hearted concubine understood immediately and quickly looked at the other companion,
"What should we do? We can't let her pull her directly on us, right? This is..."
But the soft-hearted concubine did not say anything further, but both of them knew that the woman in front of them was the noble Queen of the North.
Xu Jiajun didn't kill her, presumably keeping her would be useful.
And Beidi ran away with their master and mistress. If we couldn't protect him, when would Beidi return and beat the Xu family's army away?
The two of them thought of something and looked at Gongsun Baoyue. Gongsun Baoyue was overjoyed and groaned even more intensely.
"What's wrong? Why did you open the door? You're going to die!"
A sharp female voice suddenly sounded outside the door. The two concubines looked back and shouted in unison: "Sister!"
Gongsun Baoyue's heart suddenly sank. Two of the concubines in the Duwei Mansion gave birth to bastards. In order for their children to survive, they were much more ruthless than the cautious concubine.
