Due to various reasons, Wang Miaoyan's case should not be expanded, and only let her bear the responsibility.

Therefore, Wu Zhengxiang submitted this document together with Wang Miaoyan's confession. Sure enough, Emperor Qinglong only sentenced her to beheading, and did not mention the rest of the Wang family.

As soon as this verdict is written, Wang Miaoyan will be handed over to the Criminal Department for detention. It's winter now, which means that Wang Miaoyan will be locked up in prison for nearly a year before being beheaded.

Xiao Caiwei's edict prison is to hold suspects, as long as there is evidence of guilt, after arrest, they will be locked up in the edict prison first. After the interrogation, the conviction proceeds. In special periods, as long as the emperor nods, the prisoner can be arrested first, and then interrogated slowly.

This is also the reason why everyone in Beijing mentions the color change of Xiaoqiwei.

Once convicted, the offender is transferred to the Penal Department.

At present, there are many prisoners to be handed over, so it will be carried out in batches. But at most, after handing over Wang Miaoyan to the Criminal Department, it would not be so convenient for Xu Wanzhen to see her again.

Therefore, Wu Zhengxiang came to ask her about it.

After all, Wang Miaoyan plotted to kill Xu Wanzhen, and Xu Wanzhen belonged to the bitter master in this matter, and she also had the right to speak.

Xu Wanzhen groaned slightly, she really wanted to meet this woman. Ask her what wronged her, so that she tried to frame herself again and again.

The first time at the peony flower party in the princess's mansion, Xu Wanzhen knew that she originally wanted to give Tu Manzhen the medicine, but she gave it to herself by mistake.

That time, it can be said that there was a misunderstanding. Afterwards, Xu Wanzhen also revealed the matter to Liu Qiran, and Wang Miaoyan also learned a lesson.

So this time, Wang Miaoyan colluded with the Chen family, used Xu Wenyu as bait, and used Lei Ba to kidnap her, which was deliberate.

Xu Wan really couldn't understand what kind of grudge she and Wang Miaoyan had that deserved her to hold such a grudge? As long as she caught the opportunity, she wouldn't let it go?

Seeing her depressed expression, Wu Zhengxiang stroked her cheek painfully and said, "I said before that the psychology of a person like her can't be handled by common sense. ”

"In the Abolished Prince's Mansion, we also arrested other prisoners. According to them, the waste prince often used a leather whip to whip her, Wang Miaoyan was arrogant in front of people, and was extremely humble in front of the waste prince. During the interrogation, we also found many old and new scars on her body. ”

I remembered the file that had been reported, which said that the wounds on her body included whiplashes, burns, smashes, etc., although they were not fatal, but the number was staggering. I don't know what kind of life she lives under the hands of the abolished prince.

Wu Zhengxiang didn't plan to describe these in detail, for fear of scaring Xu Wanzhen.

Xu Wanzhen gasped, it turned out that Wang Miaoyan had been abused by the prince. What is this, a pair of perverted sadists?

"This ......" she didn't expect Wang Miaoyan to live this kind of life.

"No wonder she's become so twisted. Presumably, it is to transfer the pain suffered to others. ”

Xu Wanzhen sighed, remembering Wang Miaoyan when she was a child, with strong self-esteem and love vanity. Those little ladies of the official family didn't play with her, so she stubbornly didn't interact with them anymore.

At that time, she was still a little girl who loved beauty and beauty. What happened to make her become the last one step by step?

"What sentence did she sentence?"

"A capital offense, beheaded after next autumn. ”

Xu Wanzhen was silent for a long time, and she deserved it the most. But fortunately, she was not alone, and the entire Wang family was not affected.

The two old men, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Wang, have been fighting for most of their lives, and it can be regarded as a dispute between gentlemen. Later, Mrs. Wang had bad thoughts and wanted to fall into the hole for the Xu family, but Mrs. Xu was also resolved.

As the Xu family moved their ancestral grave and built an ancestral shrine in Beijing, the past grievances with the Wang family became lighter. After all, it's a fellow countryman, and the friendship has gotten better. During the New Year's holidays, the Wang family did not forget to send a steward to send New Year's gifts.

"I want to meet her tomorrow. ”

After learning about her experience, Xu Wan really had a complicated mood. She and Wang Miaoyan are also from Suzhou, and their fate is different from each other.

She hated Wang Miaoyan's calculation and framing her, and remembered her childhood friendship, and felt pity for her current fate. Xu Wanzhen frowned slightly, and touched her chest with her bare hands, feeling a little stuffy.

Seeing her like this, Wu Zhengxiang hurriedly brought the teacup on the table to her, and said, "Don't think about her, this kind of person deserves it, and it's not worth your hard work for her." ”

Xu Wanzhen took a sip of tea and smiled reluctantly: "I know, but I still feel a little uncomfortable." ”

Wu Zhengxiang took her into his arms in distress, and comforted her again and again: "We won't go to see her tomorrow, ah? ”

Xu Wanzhen shook her head slowly and said, "Maybe this is the last side." ”

Seeing that he insisted, Wu Zhengxiang didn't want to say anything more. If she is not allowed to see her, I am afraid it will become a knot in her heart in the future.

……

Early the next morning, Xu Wanzhen got up early and cleaned up. When Wu Zhengxiang came back from sword practice, the two had breakfast before going out together.

With Wu Zhengxiang by his side, there is no need for Wen Mulan and other female guards to follow. Because she went to prison, Xu Wanzhen only took Bai Yao with her to serve, and she was very low-key and restrained.

When she arrived at the Yamen of the Xiao Cavalry Guard, Wu Zhengxiang took her in through the back door and placed her in a quiet room.

"There are a lot of talents in the edict, don't bump into you, I'll let people bring her in. ”

In fact, the prisoners in the Imperial Prison have now been taken away in two batches, which is not much. The prisoner is also locked in a cell, and he will not collide with Xu Wanzhen no matter what.

It's just that compared to the prisons of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, the edict prison is much more gloomy. After all, the other two places were only for incarceration, and the edict was mainly for interrogation.

The interrogation techniques of the Xiao Cavalry Guard were inherited from the Shadow Guard, and they were definitely not gentle. Those torture methods, even the big men felt trembling when they saw it, where did Wu Zhengxiang dare to let Xu Wanzhen in.

Xu Wan really knew that he had the intention of protecting her, so he didn't expose the supple response. She just came to see Wang Miaoyan for the last time, so it doesn't matter where she sees her.

This ashram is simply furnished, with a sturdy table of eight immortals on which tea sets and other things are placed. There was a stove in the corner, and a kettle next to it, and there was a red charcoal fire in the stove that radiated heat.

There was no earth dragon in the room, and the little heat of the stove did not work at all, and it looked cold and deserted.

Bai Yao took out a handkerchief and put it on the bench before helping Xu Wanzhen sit down.

The tea set here is crude, how can it match Xu Wanzhen's identity? She took out a small and delicate box from her sleeve pocket, and took out a teacup as big as a dragon's eye from it.

Seeing her movements, Xu Wanzhen's gloomy mood diluted a lot, and she couldn't help laughing: "You have thought it through." ”

This teacup is the smallest one in a set of Ruyao Azure tea sets, and it is used for making tea and plating, and is hardly used for drinking.
