At three o'clock in the afternoon, the entrance of the vegetable market was crowded with people, all staring at the two kneeling prisoners on the execution platform.

"Greed is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant, and now it will be retributed. I heard that the surname Ji was greedy for millions of taels from the earthquake silver, but he was really a big corrupt official. ”

"Who says it's not, it's all officials and officials, not to mention that they are in-laws, so Yang Jianzheng is still Ji's brother-in-law."

"Those two families have been destroyed by the Holy Lord?"

"I heard that all the Yang family members have been distributed, and even the children who are hobbling have to suffer with them, which is really a sin."

"What about the Ji family? I heard that Ji Yihuai fished the most, and he was the main culprit in the case, so the daughters of the Ji family should not all be given to death. ”

"How can it, our saint is merciful, and the daughters of the Ji family have been reduced to slaves, and they have been slaves for the rest of their lives, but fortunately, they have picked up a life."

"It's really retribution, we should severely punish these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and give us an innocent world."

"Yes."

"That's it."

……

Sure enough, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, Jingzhu hid behind the crowd, secretly looking at Master Ji who was tied up with five flowers on the execution ground, a little sad. Anyway, she also got a favor from the Ji family, so that she would not starve to death on the streets, and the old lady of the Ji family still had some friendship in the end. At that time, she was helpless to flee, and it was just a last resort to save her life, and now that the Ji family has fallen into such a field, she is very glad that she once escaped regardless of it, otherwise her fate will be the same as the Ji family girl, how noble she was in the past, but now she is worse than her.

No matter how rich he is at the moment, he doesn't dare to say that he will be rich all his life, and the collapse of a family's mansion will only be in an instant.

On the execution ground, the warden looked up at the hour and threw out the beheading token. The people below were in a state of agitation, and some women with children were busy covering the eyes of the dolls, but they themselves stretched their necks and waited to see the bloody scene, and they were infinitely enthusiastic and curious about the beheading.

Jingzhu quietly withdrew from the crowd, she didn't have the courage to look any further. She doesn't have much silver in her hand, so she has to go back and sell it quickly.

In Jia's mansion, Jia Xiuheng kept his father-in-law's beheading secret today. Yingxiu was still lying in the house, and her mood was much better than the previous two days, and now she couldn't be stimulated by anything.

Jia Xiuheng called Qinglu down, stretched out his hand to take the medicine bowl for Yingxiu, and sat and talked with her, never leaving.

"You don't have to hide it from me, I'll have to face my father's matter sooner or later."

Xiu Heng was a little surprised, how did she know about the outside in the hospital bed in the room.

Yingxiu seemed to know what he was thinking, and seemed to be talking to herself: "On the day I raided the house, I knew that my father was going to die, and I just hoped that my mother and sister would escape." The saint decreed, my father committed such a big crime, the execution is inevitable, and it can be regarded as an explanation for the victimized people, although I am a deep girl, in the end I still know the truth of righteous annihilation, fortunately, the brother and sister of the Ji family saved their lives in the end, although I am sad, but I am still grateful. Today you are not speaking as usual, and you are so nervous about me, it must be related to my father. ”

Xiu Heng didn't expect his daughter-in-law to be so profound and righteous, and so smart, he could be regarded as a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation and marrying such a good man.

Yingxiu squeezed Xiu Heng's hand and held it tightly: "Don't worry, I will definitely not go to a dead end, you are alone by my side, you must not bear me." ”

Xiu Heng was moved, took Yingxiu's hand and held her tightly in his arms": life and death are not worth it. ”

Raccoon Bureau, inside the pulp washing room.

Zining's itchy hands last night, when I got up today, they were all swollen, and they were all full of hard bumps, and the hands were itchy and painful when touched, which made people can't help but scratch them, but they were even more swollen and painful.

Faced with the clothes that were still like a mountain, Zining was worried. As soon as her hand reached into the cold water, her fingers hurt violently, accompanied by the sensation of pins and needles all the way to her heart.

There were not as many clothes as yesterday, but they were all silk materials, and it took more effort, she took a breath, pressed her hands into the water, and then her whole body trembled in pain.

"Ning'er, you can go and see your mother, Mama Chun is going to do her."

Wen'er hurriedly ran over, she didn't dare to catch her breath for a while, a matter of human life, it would be too late to delay any longer.

Zining was startled, when she heard that her mother had an accident, she threw away her clothes and ran to Aunt Tao's house.

"What's wrong, so reckless." Aunt Tao was a little unhappy.

"My mother had an accident in the needlework room, and I beg my aunt to do well, let me go and see it." Zining couldn't help kowtowing, she was very scared now, Aunt Chun's ruthlessness had long been heard, no matter what happened to her mother, she would definitely be in danger in her hands.

Aunt Tao looked up and saw a smooth and white little face, only a scar on her forehead, but she still couldn't stop the surprise, she was a little surprised, she didn't want to wash away the hideous bloodstains, there was such a troublesome face underneath. She settled down and restrained her expression: "You are useless in the past now, Chun Su is ruthless, even I have to take care of her, let alone you?" ”

Zining looked at Aunt Tao more and more helplessly": There is only my mother by my side, and my mother has always kept to herself, and somehow she will provoke Aunt Chun, if Aunt Tao doesn't even save her, no one can save her. I beg my aunt to have mercy on us. Zining cried so much that he even had red marks on his forehead.

After all, people's hearts are long, and a young lady from an official family has fallen to this, seeking to be humble, Aunt Tao is a little unbearable": Okay, don't snort, I'll go with you. ”

"Aunt Xie...... "Mother is saved......

In the sewing room, the palace maids bowed their heads and did what they were doing, and no one dared to care about the affairs of the new palace entrants, just as if they didn't hear or see.

A long wooden bench was erected outside the courtyard, and Yang was pressed by two eunuchs, unable to move at all.

"Bitch, damn it, daring! In this harem, without the master's will, whoever burns paper money is guilty of a big crime, but I have wronged you? Mama Chun was angry in her chest, such a thing could still happen under her hands, if it weren't for the new palace maid Luo Yu who came to report yesterday, she would have almost been killed by this cheap maid.

Yang's mouth was gagged, she couldn't speak, she was so humiliated, she could only cry helplessly.

"Give me a hard beating, no one is allowed to stop until you hit fifty boards! Whoever is soft will be punished for her! Aunt Chun said fiercely, and then went back to the house with her hands behind her back.

Then the courtyard was filled with the sound of boards and groans of pain. Once, twice, it made people's hearts tremble, and the palace maids in the entire courtyard turned a deaf ear, and no one dared to speak out.

"Mother!" When Zining and Mama Tao arrived, she heard a sound outside, and she rushed into the yard and protected her mother regardless of it. I don't know how many boards I played, Yang's skirt mattress has been broken, and blood began to ooze from it. The little eunuch didn't dare to stop carrying the board, but the strength in his hand was slightly lighter. Zining bit it and carried it for her mother.

Aunt Tao couldn't stand it, how could such a little girl withstand these boards, so she told the eunuchs to stop. The eunuch who played the board hesitated, but he was not so ruthless in the end.

She sighed and went inside.

"I said Aunt Chun, you are angry, you can't do it for these cheap slaves, the newcomer has just entered the palace, it is inevitable that he will be a little more ignorant, I see that the chair outside is not young, if you continue to fight, I am afraid that someone will die."

"Aunt Tao, you don't want to be a good person here, I will teach the palace maid in my house, can you still stretch your hand so long? Optimistic about your own talents, otherwise don't blame the board for being eyeless and breaking people, but I can't blame you. ”

Aunt Tao didn't think that she would be able to save people, but when she heard the words of no one in Chun Su's eyes, she became more and more unwilling.

"I heard that the Ji family is kind to the saint, and the saint never dares to forget the love of the teacher, and this time the daughter of the Ji family saved her life, and it is all the meaning of the saint. Whether they are suffering and tired in the Huanyi Bureau, whether they are starving and freezing, there is still a life in the end, if the Yang family is really killed by you, do you think the queen really cares about it? Our master Niangniang has always acted for the saint's worries, how can we indulge the people below to act against the will of the saint? ”

When Aunt Chun heard Aunt Tao say this, she couldn't refute for a while, her status was given by the master, and her life was also in the hands of the master, how could she not care about what Aunt Tao just said?

"The daughter of the Ji family just entered the palace and sent it to you, and something happened the next day, and you are not afraid that the master will say that you deliberately disobeyed the emperor's order?"

Hearing Aunt Tao say this, Aunt Chun's face was even more unsightly, no matter how powerful she was, she always had to take care of her master, so she quickly called someone out to let the eunuch who played the board in the courtyard loosen the ties of the Yang family.

Zining lay on her mother's back, and after a few boards, she was already like she was falling apart, unable to move, and she didn't know how long her mother had been beaten here.

"Mother, Mother, we are saved."

Yang was carried all the way to the lower room by the two little eunuchs, and Zining also cried all the way.

Fortunately, she came in time, otherwise she would have to lose her breath if she continued to fight like this.

Yang lay on his dilapidated bed, in pain. Today is the day of Ji Yihuai's punishment, it is estimated that they have long been separated by yin and yang, and they have been husband and wife for most of their lives, she just burned some paper money to pay tribute to him after his death, but she attracted such a murderous disaster, and the people of the capital palace were ruthless, but they didn't know that they were cold-blooded.

She stroked the face of the seventh sister, but she also suffered a few boards with her, and she didn't know that such a delicate body could not stand it. The two mothers and daughters looked at each other with teary eyes, hugged their heads and cried, for the sake of their dead relatives and for their future fate.

Wen'er entered the house, and when she saw such a scene, she couldn't help wiping her tears, "Okay, okay, it's okay, don't cry, hurry up and take the medicine." This medicine was secretly given to me by Aunt Tao, Aunt Chun is ruthless, and I have to be careful in doing things in the future. ”

Zining nodded gratefully, she was not seriously injured, and took Wen'er's porcelain bottle to prepare for her mother's medicine.

"Yingning, the scar on your face is gone?"

"It's just a blood stain, and it's gone when I cleaned my face last night. Yesterday, Aunt Tao gave me my name, and then she called me Zining. "Yingning is a noble official lady, she is no more.

"I'll just say that people are as their name suggests, Luo Yu is not jealous when he sees you like this." Wen'er couldn't help but think of Luo Yu, "Your mother is like this now, it's all thanks to her!" In order to please Aunt Chun, she did something to chew the root of her tongue. Wen'er has always hated this kind of scheming person who climbs up on other people's bodies, but she still has to live in the same room with this kind of person every day, and she is angry to think about it.

After listening to Wen'er's words, Zining realized that the disaster was man-made, and said hatefully: "I just thought that her mouth was a little bad, but I didn't expect that she was such a villain, and she would be punished!" ”

Zining cut open her mother's dress, and the flesh and blood in it were blurry, making people unbearable to look at directly": Mother, if you endure it, it will hurt a little. ”

Yang bit the bedding to death, such a humiliation, life is worse than death, there is a severe pain behind it, and her heart is full of the fact that Ji Yihuai was beheaded, as a wife, she can't do anything, sad, hateful.

"You were also beaten badly, lie down and I'll help you get some medicine." Wen'er said with concern.

Zining is grateful to Wen'er, but she has been out for a long time, and she can't stay any longer": I'm fine, but I'm in the pulp washing room in the future, and my mother will ask you to take care of it from time to time, I know that you also ran out secretly, you still hurry up and go to work, don't be caught, Mama Chun can't be provoked. ”

When Wen'er wanted to say something, Zi Ning put down the medicine bottle and limped out, with no flesh wounds on her back, it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so she couldn't drag Wen'er girl down anymore.

Zining went back to the pulp washing room and delayed for more than an hour, but fortunately, Aunt Tao was kind and did not punish her, she went to fetch water and continued to wash her clothes.

The tingling sensation in the hand hit, thinking of what happened to my mother today, tears fell down, such days will be long in the future, with this accident, Aunt Chun will definitely stare at her mother in the future, and today Aunt Tao intercedes for them, Aunt Chun will definitely regard them as a thorn in the eye, and she must quickly find a way to take her mother out of the needlework room.

Because of the pain in my hands, after washing my clothes today, I still only left a cold meal.

Ziyan lay on the small table and cried": How can this still be eaten, after a day's work, he still eats this kind of thing, how can he still have the strength to ...... tomorrow"

"I said that you can eat some of them, thinking that when I first came, I washed my clothes for a day hungry, and finally I didn't even have anything to eat. Fortunately, there was an Aunt Tao last year, and the palace maid in our pulp washing room will be a little better. Ziqing lay on the bed with her eyes closed, the tent was not put down, she was tired today, she washed her face and went to bed, she didn't speak, and she couldn't help but open her mouth when she heard Ziyan crying pitifully.

As soon as Ziyan heard Ziqing say this, he sniffed and stopped crying": How many years have you been in the palace? ”

"It's been eight years, and the first year or two have been tormented by fear. When you get to the back, you gradually get used to it, and new people come to this courtyard every year, and those eunuchs in charge don't stare at you every day. ”

"Those eunuchs were sent by my aunt?"

Ziqing chuckled: "How can it, even Aunt Tao can't control them, they are all sent by the Internal Affairs Office, and they are in charge of the housekeeper's father-in-law, just for fear that we will be lazy." ”

Zining picked up the rice bowl and took two bites, no matter how unpleasant it was, she had to endure it, she must have saved her strength to save her mother.
