The Ji family is still the Ji family in the end, even if they are in the prison of the Criminal Department, there are still many nobles to help, the jailer does not dare to disobey the order, and when the mother-in-law comes to deliver food in the evening, he specially asks them to add food, and sends three quilts.

Yingning and the others got quilts, and they were no longer afraid of being woken up by freezing at night.

Ying Ning and Ying Xue Ying Yao covered a quilt, although the quilt was a little thinner, but it was better than nothing, and the three of them hid in the quilt, and gradually warmed up.

"Fortunately, there is a deputy governor Liu here, otherwise we would really be frozen to death and starved to death." Yingyao said.

Yingxue said: "This is all thanks to Liu Ergongzi for arriving in time, sending food and clothes, and beating the prison guards, so that we can be treated unusually, and he can be regarded as a kind and righteous person." Yingxue looked at Yingning, and said this proudly. Yingxue clearly saw it clearly, Liu Zimo's eyes were not ordinary when she looked at the seventh sister, she was more anxious than the second sister, if she said that it was not interesting to Yingning, she would not believe it.

Ying Ning was anxious to clear up": Grandmother is his aunt and grandmother, he is naturally concerned, anyone who is flesh and blood will not stand idly by, not to mention that we are all cousins and blood relatives. ”

Mrs. Ji smiled when she heard it: "Although Ziye is a little dull, Zimo is a clever person, and last time I could see that he looked at you differently." You can't blame the Liu family for that incident last time, it was all caused by Jingzhu's little girl. If you look at it, I will not stop it. "It's a pity that they are in prison now, and I don't know if they can get out, if they are really lucky enough to be released, as long as the Liu family does not dislike it, she will agree to them being together.

Ying Ning was anxious when she heard it: "Grandmother, don't talk nonsense, Liu Zimo Meng Lang is rude, how can it be said that it is a good thing, besides, in our situation, we can't get out and talk about it." ”

As soon as the old lady heard it, she knew that the seventh sister was young and unenlightened, Liu Zimo's eyes were full of admiration, where did she come from. But as soon as she thought of their future fate, the old lady's eyes dimmed, if she could save a life, the ancestors would bless the Bodhisattva, where could she expect Mrs. Liu to look down on the seventh sister.

Yingxue thought that if Liu Zimo couldn't let go of the seventh sister, she would definitely find a way to save her, then they would have hope.

Life in prison is always difficult, and Ying Ning spent more than ten days in prison like this, and the days were so long that she thought she would be trapped here for the rest of her life.

On October 27, someone came from outside the prison.

In the boundless dark prison, in addition to being in a daze, a group of people suddenly came, and they were so panicked that Yingning clenched the bedding, and the Bodhisattva must be blessed.

Mrs. Ji knelt down, bowed her head and pursed her lips, looking nervous, waiting for the verdict to be announced.

"The criminal minister Ji Yihuai, in collusion with Yang Jianzheng, has embezzled a total of 2.78 million taels of dirty money since the ninth year of Yuanwu. Among them, Yuncheng disaster relief paid 1.67 million taels of silver. The Ji family copied 27 real estate land deeds, a total of five money villages, three pawnshops, two gold and silver shops, 800 acres of fertile land, and 11 idle villages; five large boxes of ceramic jade totaling one hundred and eight pieces; three large boxes of jewelry; three thousand and twelve stone of rice; The total amount of gold and silver was 500,000 taels. ”

When Yingning and the others heard this, they were all shocked.

Mrs. Ji couldn't believe it, she couldn't imagine that Ji Yihuai had hidden it from her for so many years, and she had coveted such a large amount behind her back, she only knew that Ji Yihuai had set up a grange shop outside, but she didn't expect it to be all dirty money. Before, she and the old lady ran around begging for help, thinking that he was just greedy for a little money and was caught, but she didn't expect to be so greedy and heinous. Her hands and feet were cold now, and her heart was dead.

I also heard the judge read: "Ji Yihuai's crime is extremely evil, the greed is huge, and the evidence is conclusive, which makes me resentful, and I will be beheaded to show the public." The men of the Ji family were enslaved and assigned to the frontier; The female dependents entered the Huanyi Bureau, and Xin Zheku was the maid. Never turn over. Chin this. ”

Mrs. Ji collapsed to the ground, the old lady's face turned blue, she came out in one breath, and fell headlong.

"Grandmother!"

"Mother!"

The old lady didn't reflect at all no matter how much she was pushed, which is really worse at this time.

"Grandmother, wake up, don't scare me." Yingning pinched the old lady again, but it was still useless.

Mrs. Ji hadn't recovered from the bad news just now, and when she saw the old lady like this again, she had to cheer up and take care of the old lady.

Seeing that the old lady didn't respond, Ying Ning hurriedly begged a few officials. They are all criminal women, and they have been cheap women all their lives, and those officials still care about their lives and deaths, and they turned around and closed the prison door after passing the verdict, planning to go back to restore their lives.

"The official is good, my grandmother is dying, please help call a doctor!" Ying Ning was busy holding the wooden fence and pleaded earnestly, for fear that the officials would leave.

Call a doctor? Hmph, the head of the criminal department who took the lead in announcing the decree sneered in his heart. If every felony had to call in a doctor, the doctors all over the city would be busy. Besides, the saints have issued orders, they have no backers anymore, they are all cheap, who cares about life and death? In fact, it's not that he is hard-hearted, it's just that a few people die in prison is a rare and common thing, and there are a few every day, and he is not surprised.

"Girl, let's think about yourself, Huanyi Bureau and Xin Zheku are both places where you eat people and don't spit out bones, and then you will know what life is better than death, maybe death is better than life." The director of the Criminal Department walked away with the official errand, leaving no chance.

When Ying Ning heard this, she trembled with anger, pinched the stake, and cried helplessly.

The old lady lost consciousness, and Mrs. Ji was too busy to take care of herself, so she had to rely on her two aunts to take care of her.

"Seventh sister, don't be sad, they all have their consciences eaten by dogs, and sooner or later there will be retribution." Aunt An squatted beside the old lady and said to Yingning.

Ying Ning felt that the world at this time was dark, and there was no hope at all. Why are there so many people in the world who are high and low, and regard money as their life? No matter how humble a slave is, it's a life.

The old lady's eyelids moved, and she finally woke up after Aunt Qian fed her some water, but she was so angry that she struggled to say a word. The loss of a son in old age, the destruction of her family, the loss of her life, and the reduction of her life to a slave, this old man has been hit by unimaginable blows in her twilight years, and she would rather never wake up when she faints.

When she opened her eyes, she was faced with a little granddaughter with tears on her face and a daughter-in-law with a sad face, and her heart was like ashes.

"Old lady, you can stay up, the doctor can't call, so let's find a way to get some medicine, you must hold on, it's better to die than to live, and if you die, there will be nothing."

When the old lady heard Aunt Qian say this, she lowered her eyelids and said in a thin voice, "There is nothing left for a long time, and life is only in vain and painful......

When a few people heard the old lady say this, they became more and more anxious, the old man was sick, and what he was most afraid of was that he would lose his thoughts and hopes, no matter how hard others worked, no matter how much they fed him medicine, it was just a dying struggle.

"Mother, don't say that," Mrs. Ji wiped her tears and choked up, "You can see this world for a day, and you can talk to us if you miss us, if you ......, if you " Mrs. Ji couldn't cry and couldn't say any more.

Ying Ning knew that the most important thing now was to call the doctor quickly, and it would be really bad to drag it out like this.

"Anyone! Come on! The old lady is dying! Ying Ning slapped at Mu Zha.

Seeing this, Yingxue and Yingyao also followed and shouted. They didn't believe that the jailer could bear it, and they called someone over first, and they didn't care whether they were beaten or not, and their grandmother's life was at stake.

Shouting and screaming, and striking like this for half an hour, the jailer outside finally came in with a bunch of keys and came in menacingly, "What kind of noise, don't you die!" The fierce look made the girls shrink in.

Ying Ning strengthened her courage and said: "My grandmother is seriously ill, I'm afraid it's not good, can you bother the official to do well, call a doctor to save her." ”

Isn't it ridiculous that the jailer was already annoyed by the noise, and heard her say that she still had to call a doctor? Without saying a word, the jailer picked up the whip in his hand and threw it at the prison door, which crackled through the air and left a white mark on the wooden fence.

Ying Ning was frightened, but fortunately the jailer did not rush in, and the whip did not hit her in the face through a gate.

The jailer is not afraid of anything now, Master Ji was sentenced to beheading, and these women in front of him are just ants who can be pinched to death with just one hand, he plans to take out the key and go in to clean them up, so noisy that he can't even sleep well.

Ying Ning saw that the jailer was looking for the key, this time it was broken, these whips went down, and if they didn't die, they would be crippled, so they knelt down and took out the gold bracelet on their bodies": The official is angry, this bracelet is here to honor you, please do well, find a doctor for my grandmother. She had never knelt down to such a person, and it was all humiliation, but for the sake of her grandmother, she had to do it, and besides, there would be more people she would have to kneel in the future, and there would be no more young lady shelves.

When the jailer saw that it was a golden gold bracelet, his eyes lit up, and his tone was really much soothed: "It's not impossible to save the old lady, but I don't dare to bring the doctor in without an order from above, but it's not impossible to grab the side medicine and fry it and bring it in." The jailer reached in and took the gold bracelet.

"This doctor hasn't seen it, and he hasn't taken the pulse, how to grab the medicine?" Ying Ning was suspicious and put her hand away, for fear of being deceived.

The jailer's hand fluttered into the air, and his face was a little unpleasant": report the old lady's illness as soon as it happens, and if not, then stay up and see how long it can last. "After that, I want to leave.

"Wait, grab the side medicine, just grab the side medicine, just please send it quickly, my grandmother can't wait so long." Ying Ning reluctantly handed over the gold bracelet.

The jailer took the bracelet and put it in his bosom, and when it was gone, there was another meal of good wine and meat to eat, "Wait, I will send someone to fry the medicine and bring it." With that, he flicked his whip and left.

Ying Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and her grandmother was finally saved.

And the old lady's side is getting more and more out of breath.

Everyone was in a hurry, and they didn't dare to cry, and kept talking to the old lady, for fear that the old lady would never wake up after she fell asleep.

"Grandmother, bear with me, the medicine will be delivered soon, you must not be fine." Ying Ning lay beside the old lady and kept pleading with God.

"Good girl, grandmother is old, she must go before you, you don't have to be sad, I know my own body. I've lived for more than 70 years, and I should have gone with the old lady, but now that I've had so many more years, it's also a gift from the Bodhisattva, and I'm satisfied. She touched Yingning's face again: "It's you, but you have to suffer in your good years...... "She shed two lines of tears as she spoke": Anyway, you also have the blood of Jiangmen, and you must be tough in everything in the future, I know that the future will be difficult, but you ......" The old lady coughed violently as she spoke.

Ying Ning nodded and cried on the side, "I know, I remember it all in my heart, grandmother, don't talk......"

Finally, when the medicine came, the old lady couldn't sit up at all, so she could only feed Aunt An a small spoonful into her mouth. But after a few mouthfuls, the old lady vomited it all, and she couldn't feed the medicine at all, and then coughed again.

How is it good to go on like this......

The old lady smiled and took Aunt An's hand: "I am already half of the person who has fallen into the ground, but it is not a pity to die, you don't have to be sad." In the past, I was not good to you, and I was not good to Aunt Qian, but now that I am in trouble, I think of your goodness, I am getting older and more confused, you must not blame me. ”

Aunt An shook her head: "What did the old lady say, we should be filial to you, how can we still complain about you." ”

The old lady looked at Mrs. Ji again and sighed, "You married into the Ji family, you are virtuous and virtuous, and you have a husband and children...... But it was the Ji family who harmed you......"

"Mother, don't say that, drink the medicine first......

The old lady shook her head at Mrs. Ji: "I'm a little tired, let me rest for a while, and I'll drink later...... Wait for ......"

As she spoke, the old lady closed her eyes as if she had fallen asleep.

"Grandmother! Grandmother! No matter how much Ren Yingning shakes it, the old lady will never wake up again.

"Mother!" Several people wept and wept, no matter how they called, the old lady always slept peacefully.

Ying Ning was so grief-stricken that she knelt on the grass and cried, unable to accept for a moment that her grandmother, who had always loved her, left her like this.

"It's better for you, old lady, to go to the Western Elysium without any worries, leaving us to suffer here!" Mrs. Ji cried sadly and bitterly, crying and reproaching.

The jailer also came in when he heard the crying and mourning, he had expected that the old lady of the Ji family would not live long, and the crying wolf of this group of women annoyed him. Fortunately, it is a cold winter, and if it is summer, the dead person will be pulled out immediately, and they will be buried everywhere.

"I said don't cry, people can't be resurrected from the dead, if there are still silver taels, hurry up and buy a coffin and bury it, otherwise we have to throw it to the mass grave." The jailers are so angry now, but they have taken advantage of them, and they want to get something more out of them.

The aunt and a few girls lost their minds when they heard it, it stands to reason that the old lady passed away, and they wanted to mourn and burn incense for the first seven times, how could they be hastily buried.

Mrs. Ji was sad, the old lady had come over with a lot of wind and waves all her life, but in the end she ended up with such a result.

In their view, only by burning incense and reciting sutras can people go to the West to become a Buddha after death, otherwise they will go to hell, and without the incense burned by their descendants, they will become lonely ghosts and ghosts, and they will not be reborn.

Mrs. Ji took out all the silver taels given by Liu Ergongzi, and hoped that the jailer would buy a wooden coffin and some paper money, incense and candles.

The jailer took the silver and shook it": This little silver tael, you can't even buy a thin coffin, let alone anything else? ”

"The official is good, and death is great, let my old lady go well." Mrs. Ji couldn't help but kowtow.

The jailer shoved the silver into his sleeve, "If you don't even want a thin coffin, then wait to be thrown into a mass grave." ”

When Yingning and the others heard this, they gritted their teeth with hatred, and it was really something that eats people without spitting out bones, and has a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs.
