them hard!"
The Prince of Beijing had already entered the hall. Standing facing the doorway he announced, "Here
is a decree. Let Zhao Quan,watch62.html, Commissioner of the Imperial Guards,sitemap, pay heed." He then proclaimed, "The
commissioner's sole task is to arrest Jia She for trial,shop96.html. The Prince of Xiping will deterrnine what other
measures to take according to the earlier decree."
Elated by this, the Prince of Xiping seated himself beside the Prince of Beijing and sent the
commissioner back to his yamen with Jia She. This development disappointed all his officers and runners,
who had come out on hearing of the second prince's arrival. They had to stand there awaiting Their
Highnesses' orders. The Prince of Beijing selected two honest officers and a dozen of the older runners,
sending away the rest.
The Prince of Xiping told him,watch150, "I was just losing patience with Old Zhao. If you hadn't brought that
decree in the nick of time,sitemap.xml, sir, they'd have been really hard hit here."
"When I heard at court that Your Highness had been sent to search the Jia Mansions I was relieved,sitemap.xml,
knowing you would let them off more lightly, "the Prince of Beijing replied. "I never thought Old Zhao was
such a scoundrel. But where are Jia Zheng and Baoyu now? And how much damage has been done inside,サッカースパイク 通販?"
His men reported, "Jia Zheng and the rest are under guard in the servants' quarters, and the whole
place has been turned upside down."
At the Prince of Beijing's orders, the officers fetched Jia Zheng for questioning. He fell on his knees
before Their Highnesses and with tears in his eyes begged for mercy. The prince helped him up and urged
him not to worry, then informed him of the terms of the new decree. With
tears of gratitude, Jia Zheng kowtowed towards the north to thank the Emperor then turned back for further
instructions.
The prince said, "When Old Zhao was here just now, Your Lordship,watch425, his runners reported finding

various articles for Imperial use and some promissory notes for usurious loans this we cannot cover up,watch210.html.
Regarding those forbidden articles,shop228.html, as they were for Her Imperial Highness' use it will do no harm to report
them. But we must find some way to explain those IOU's. Now I want you, sir, to take the officers and hon-
estly hand over to them all your brother's property, to end the matter. Don't on any account conceal anything,
or you will be asking for trouble,watch63.html."
"I would never dare," answered Jia Zheng. "But we never divided up our ancestral estate, simply
considering the things in our two houses as our own property."
"Very well," they said. "Just hand over everything in Lord She's house." They sent the two officers
off with orders to attend only to this and nothing else.


Let us return now to the ladies' feast in the Lady Dowager's quarters. Lady Wang had just warned
Baoyu that unless he went out to join the gentlemen his father might be angry.
Xifeng, still unwell, said faintly,shop24.html, "I don't think Baoyu's afraid of meeting them, but he knows there are
plenty of people there to entertain the guests, so he's waiting on us here instead. If it occurs to the master that
they need more people there to look after the guests,グッチ Gucci ケース激安, you can trot out Baoyu, madam. How about that?"
"This minx Xifeng!" the old lady chuckled. "She still has the gift of the gab for all she's so ill!"
The fun was at its height when one of Lady Xing's maids came rushing in crying, "Your Ladyships!
We're done for! A whole lot of robbers have come,kakaku256, all in boots and official caps... They'er opening cases,
overturning crates, ransacking the whole place'
The old lady and the others had not recovered from this shock when Pinger, her hair hanging loose,
dashed in with Qiaojie.
"We're ruined!" she wailed. "I was having lunch with Qiaojie when Lai Wang appeared in chains,index, and
told me to lose no time in warning you
ladies to keep out of the way, as some prince has come to raid our house! I nearly died of fright! Before I
could go in to fetch any valuables, a band of men drove me out. You'd better make haste to get together the
clothes and things you need,index.html."
Lady Xing and Lady Wang were completely flummoxed, frightened out of their wits. Xifeng who had
listened wide-eyed now collapsed in a faint. The old lady was crying with terror, unable to utter a word.
Pandemonium reigned as the maids tried to attend to their mistresses. Then they heard shouts, "The
women inside must make themselves scarce,レディース 長財布 激安! The prince is coming!"
Baochai and Baoyu looked on helplessly as the maids and nurses attempted desperately to hustle the
ladies out,watch29.html. Then in ran Jia Lian.
"It's all right now!" he panted. "Thank goodness the prince has come to our rescue!"
Before they could question him, he saw Xifeng lying as if dead on the floor and gave a cry of alarm.
Then the sight of the old lady, terror-stricken and gasping for breath, made him even more frantic. LuckHy
Pinger and others managed to revive Xifeng and help her up. The old lady recovered consciousness too, but
lay back dizzily on the couch sobbing and choking for breath,watch213.html, while Li Wan did her best to soothe her.
Taking a grip on himself, Jia Lian explained to them how kindly the two princes had intervened. But
fearing that the news of Jia She's arrest might make the old lady and Lady Xing die of fright, he withheld it
for the time being and went back to his own quarter.
Once over the threshold, he saw that all their cases and wardrobes had been opened and rifled. He
stood speechless in consternation, shed-ding tears, till he heard his name called and had to go out. Jia Zheng
was there with two officers drawing up an inventory, which one of the officers read out as follows:
