Chapter 089: Showing the Crowd
With a "snap", the book that Taiwei was holding in his hand fell to the ground heavily. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Under the sun, the dust is flying, like the old days sprinkled one after another.
Taiwei didn't bother to pick it up, so she just stared at Changxi and asked, "Dead?" Between the words, the surprise on her face was so incredulous.
Changxi didn't know why she was like this, but she immediately nodded and said, "The news that the slave maid just got has been spread all over the world at this time. ā
Tai Wei's face turned a little pale: "What do you mean?"
She thought that the rumors in the market would at most be gossip about what the thieves had stolen and wanted to steal. But after two days of calm, there was finally news, but it was a death?
And in the blink of an eye, the news spread all over the capital?
How can it be so fast.
Is it the news that the Zhenyi Division deliberately released?
But why, why?
Changxi stood up, as if he didn't dare to say it clearly.
Taiwei asked again: "What does it mean that it has been spread all over the world?"
Changxi leaned closer to her, sighed, and said in a low voice: "It was said that the emperor personally ordered that the thief's body be hung at the gate of the city to show the public, as an example!"
Changxi used a word that he didn't expect.
"To set an example" -
Who is this warning for?
It's just a thief, why did it lead to Emperor Jianyang's personal order?
Taiwei's heartbeat was like a drum, and the spirit shivered: "Corpse...... Already at the gates?"
Changxi shook his head, and his voice became even lower: "The slave doesn't know, I just heard that the emperor ordered it to be done like this, but when it was done, and whether it was true or not, the slave and maid didn't know." ā
But since it is said that it will be hung at the gate of the city for public display, then once the body is hung out, no one should know about it.
Taiwei bent down and reached for the book that had fallen on the ground.
Her thin white fingers trembled, as if she had no strength.
What if the person who was arrested in Wanfu Lane that night was indeed the Master?
She straightened up and whispered to Changxi: "Keep an eye on it, but whenever there is new news, no matter what it is, come and tell me immediately." ā
Changxi should have retreated.
But within half an hour, she came back and said, "Girl, someone from the kitchen said that the body was already hanging at the city gate!"
The Qi family's big kitchen is full of people and miscellaneous people, and the people in charge of purchasing have to go out from time to time, well-informed, and there are few fakes. They said that the body was hanging at the gates, and that was true.
There was no blood on Taiwei's face.
The bright and warm afternoon sun shone on her face, and there was no trace of warmth.
Chang Xi looked at her and said cautiously: "It is said that no one is allowed to worship and collect the corpse, and once it is discovered, it will be killed." ā
The air seemed to become thinner.
It can't be like this!
She had to see it for herself!
If that was Master, she would have to confirm it with her own eyes.
Taiwei looked at Changxi, and suddenly said, "Go and get a piece of your clothes." ā
Changxi was stunned when he heard this: "The clothes of the slave?"
Taiwei was about to bow her head, but her heart suddenly moved, and she shook her head: "No, I don't want you, you go and find a little girl's clothes." ā
Changxi is now the eldest girl of Jixiangyuan, and her clothes are still conspicuous after all.
is not as good as the little girls, few people usually remember who is who, and they can easily fool the past.
But if you want to go out, you have to hurry.
Taiwei instructed Changxi: "Don't ask, just go and get it." ā
When she goes out by herself, she will definitely alarm Aunt Cui, Aunt Cui is worried that she has no reason to clean her up recently, and she can't rush to deliver one to someone.
Otherwise, Aunt Cui would have grabbed her and asked if she was ugly.
Why do you go out and what do you do when you go out......
As long as Aunt Cui says no, and then sues Minghetang's grandmother, she won't say anything about the gate of the Qi family, I'm afraid it will be the door of Jixiangyuan, and she won't be able to go out again.
Taiwei knew it, so he was ready to avoid it.
She took a closer look at the clothes Changxi had brought.
The size is just right and can wear it.
She changed into her own body and asked Changxi to comb her hair again.
"I chose the most common and simplest style comb, and I didn't have any patterns. ā
Changxi agreed softly, looked at the person in the mirror, and finally couldn't hold back, and asked, "Doesn't the girl want to see the corpse?"
Taiwei was silent, lifted his eyelids slightly, and looked in the mirror.
In the mirror, Changxi was standing behind her, her face full of worry.
Taiwei said: "Don't tell Mother Liu." ā
Changxi made a movement in his hand, and the worry in his voice became heavier: "You want to go out alone?"
There was a mess outside, and there was a thief arrest, and she had to go out alone, and Changxi was very uneasy.
"Will the slave come with you?"
"No, I don't. Taiwei didn't agree, "You stay, watch the hour and wait for me to come back." ā
She should be able to return before the sun sets.
But Changxi was still worried: "Girl, what is there to see for the dead?"
Not only is there nothing to see, but it's terrifyingly tight.
Who would go out of their way to see what corpses?
Changxi wanted to persuade her: "There must be officers and soldiers around, if you go like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to see anything." ā
Taiwei raised the mirror and looked at the hair on his temples: "Officers and soldiers will not surround the corpse." ā
Since the body was dumped at the city gate, it was deliberately intended to be seen.
Emperor Jianyang's move was to make people afraid.
It's just that Taiwei doesn't know who the person he wants to scare is. It doesn't seem reasonable to kill a thief to warn the world.
Although he loved this, he had earlier ordered people to parade through the streets with the corpses of several ministers whose heads had been cut off by him.
But this time, it's obviously just a thief.
A thief who doesn't know what he stole from.
Tai Wei secretly gritted his teeth, and after dressing properly, he applied a thick layer of powder on his face.
Her face, to seem, the more ordinary the better.
She walked to the door, opened the curtains, and poked her head out, and the look on her face was very different from before.
The body should not be too straight, and the eyebrows and eyes should not be raised.
She became an inconspicuous little maid in Jixiang Garden.
When she went out, she ran errands for the fifth girl, Mrs. Qi.
This kind of thing is not difficult for Taiwei. She is indeed a maid and a maidservant. The past is engraved in my mind, and when I do it again, it is all easy.
She successfully left Jingningbo Mansion.
Alone, easy to do.
If you take your mother and Xiao Qi with you, everything can't be so simple.
Taiwei's heart was as chaotic as silk, and she gradually walked with sweat on her back against the big sun above her head.
Fine beads of sweat spread all over her smooth skin.
The sun is hot, like it can kill.
In the blink of an eye, sweat rolled into it.
I rubbed it twice vigorously.
The salty sweat and the burning sensation made her almost unable to open her eyes.
In a hazy way, she saw a lot of people.
Far away, ant-like, black pressed piece.
