Chapter 4 Saving Lives
Although Jinyang is located in the extreme north, it can be used as the capital of Rongguo, and it is still very prosperous.
Although it is not as good as Fengcheng in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is still the most prosperous and populous city in the entire Rongguo.
When Shen Linxian arrived in Jinyang, he could be regarded as truly seeing the metropolis of this period.
Jinyang City is very large, and the city walls are all made of stones, which looks very simple.
There are many mansions built in Jinyang City, and the overall style of these houses is on the rough side, not as detailed and elegant as the Great Zhou Dynasty, and has a strong exotic style.
Jinyang City has a large population, Shen Linxian inquired during the meal, the current population of Jinyang City is about more than 500,000, even if it is placed in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it can be regarded as a big city.
She walked around Jinyang City and inquired carefully about some things.
Especially the matter of the sacrifice of prisoners.
It is said that ten days ago, General Yelu escorted the emperor and nobles of the Zhou Dynasty back to the court, sacrificed prisoners outside the palace, and insisted that the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty kneel down to Emperor Rongguo.
Moreover, Shen Linxian also heard that there were many nobles of the Zhou Dynasty and the imperial concubine Gong'e brought this time.
Those noble concubines were given to the ministers' families as female slaves, and the palace ladies picked up the beautiful ones and distributed them to the palace, and the rest were pulled to the human market to be sold.
Rongguo has a sparse population, from the emperor to the commoners, they all pay attention to fertility problems, but Rongguo lacks women of childbearing age, and these palace maids captured from the Zhou Dynasty can just solve part of the population problem.
Naturally, these women were sold to ordinary people and used as reproductive tools to survive in Rongguo.
But this is the case, and the fate of these women is much stronger than that of the imperial concubines and noblewomen who were sent to the rich and noble families to be slaves.
Shen Linxian stayed in Jinyang City for several days, and rented a house with a single courtyard to live in, and walked around during the day, and at night, he explored the mansion in Jinyang City at night.
That night, Shen Linxian used an invisibility charm to sneak into a house.
It is said that this house is the house of General Yelu, who attacked the Zhou Dynasty.
After Shen Linxian entered, he found that the guards in Yelu Mansion were extremely strict, and there were sentries passing by from time to time, and there were many masters hidden in secret.
She understood when she saw it, the Yelu family should be a very powerful and powerful family in Rongguo.
After taking a turn in the house, Shen Linxian figured out the general layout of Yelu Mansion, and she wanted to sneak into the study to see if she could find anything useful.
But when Shen Linxian passed by a courtyard, he heard a very miserable sound.
It was a woman's helpless, miserable scream.
Shen Linxian was shocked when she heard this, she couldn't be indifferent, so she turned her head and walked along with the voice.
This is a very wide yard, the style of the yard is very similar to the style of the whole house, it is the kind of very rough building, the yard is paved with bluestone, it is very flat, only two trees are planted roughly, and there are no other flowers and trees.
And in such a yard with no cover.
A woman was stripped naked and knelt in the middle of the courtyard.
Now it is freezing, and the woman is shivering from the cold, but this is not the most miserable, what is even more tragic is that there are people who pour cold water on the woman, and in addition, a young man with a miserable smile on his face is holding some dirty things on the woman.
Shen Linxian couldn't bear it.
The woman was in pain and cold, and what made her unbearable the most was the kind of humiliation of dignity and the blow to arrogance.
She was out of tears, gritted her teeth and stood up to hit the tree.
It's a pity that she has been tortured for a long time, and she has no strength even if she wants to die.
The man sneered and said to the few male servants who came around, "It's really boring, I've rewarded you." ”
The woman closed her eyes and seemed to have resigned herself to her fate.
And at this time, Shen Linxian recognized who this woman was.
This is a young and beautiful woman, this woman Shen Linxian is very familiar with.
It should be said that Shen Zhenniang is very familiar.
When Shen Zhenniang was favored by Emperor Yongxing, she once gave birth to a child, a very cute girl, but the child died a few days after birth.
Since then, Shen Zhenniang has never given birth to a son and a half daughter.
She likes children very much, and she is a little crazy when she thinks about children.
A year later, the mother of Princess Changle, who was born almost at the same time as Shen Zhenniang's child, died, and Emperor Yongxing took Princess Changle to her in order to make Shen Zhenniang happy.
Shen Zhenniang has been raising Princess Changle until she was sixteen years old, and when she was showing Princess Changle a concubine, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty was breached, and Shen Zhenniang and Princess Changle were captured.
And this tortured woman is Princess Changle.
Shen Linxian looked at Princess Changle's tortured inhuman-shaped face, and was violently beaten in his heart, and the pain was unbearable.
She knew that it should be the original owner's undissipated consciousness doing the trick.
With his fists clenched, Shen Linxian decided to save Princess Changle.
Anyway, it was the daughter of the original owner, and it was impossible for her to die without saving her.
Shen Linxian quickly took out a wide robe from the Qiankun ring, she raised her hand and threw it on, just throwing the dress on Princess Changle, covering Princess Changle tightly.
Then, Shen Linxian's right hand was raised lightly, and a little golden light flew out from her fingertips, and a spirit rune had been drawn.
She put a little on the spirit talisman, and an ecstasy talisman spread, and the little starlight flew to everyone here, except for Princess Changle, the rest of these people all stood still for a short time.
One by one, they stayed there, their eyes motionless.
Shen Linxian walked up to Princess Changle and reached out to pick her up.
Princess Changle put on her robe as fast as she could, stayed quietly, and didn't dare to say a word.
Shen Linxian looked at the young man standing in the middle of the courtyard, took a few steps, held Princess Changle with one hand, and wiped the man's face twice with the other, and after that, she held Princess Changle and used the technique of shrinking the ground into inches, but in a few seconds, she had already come out of the General's Mansion.
The night was dark, and there were some soldiers patrolling the streets.
Shen Linxian stepped on the point, but he knew the patrol routes of these soldiers, and he also knew their rules, hiding from a group of soldiers, Shen Linxian took Princess Changle to the residence.
Entering the house, Shen Linxian gently put Princess Changle on the bed.
She lifted the invisibility talisman, Princess Changle watched in horror as Shen Linxian showed up little by little, and finally, she opened her mouth wide and shouted in disbelief: "You, mother concubine, is it you, is it really you?"
Princess Changle cried with joy, and hugged Shen Linxian: "Mother, you, they all said that you went, and my father also said that you left, daughter, daughter wanted to go with her mother several times, but...... But her daughter was cowardly and incompetent, and she didn't even die. ”
Speaking of which, Princess Changle hugged Shen Linxian and cried, and then turned into a loud cry, she cried hoarsely, as if she wanted to cry out all the humiliation, horror and sadness during this time.
Shen Linxian stood stiffly.
After a long time, Shen Linxian reached out and patted Princess Changle's back: "Okay, don't cry, the mother concubine is fine, the mother concubine is still alive." ”
