914 Degraded to an official maid
In one day, the Han and Cao families of the two major families in the imperial city were convicted, the two crimes seem to be the same, but they are different, the Han family has thirteen crimes: fornicating with traitors, causing trouble to the imperial city, forming gangs, bullying men and women, etc.; The Cao family is guilty of nine major crimes, such as deceiving the monarch and traitors. Whether it is eleven or nine, only two of them, "fornicating with traitors" and "traitors", are enough to be copied and killed.
Qingxia pointed at Hui Niang: "Someone! This woman is Han Shao's wife, I'm not, I'm not! I am the county lord of Qingxia in the palace on the left shoulder, and I am not a female dependent of the court who is a serious offender! ”
Hui Niang looked back at Qingxia who was shouting, some people wanted to leave, some people wanted to come in, those who came in were happy, but those who wanted to leave were a little unwilling. "Brother Shao, you can't drive me away, if you don't want me, I can only die."
Why are you so stupid? Han Shao asked countless times in his heart, such a Hui Niang made him feel distressed, even in the face of the torture tools of the Criminal Department, he did not have such panic and heartache, only at this moment, he was afraid for a while.
Mrs. Han was in front of the prison door, as if she had aged ten years in a few days, her hair was messy, her clothes were dirty, no matter how much she disliked Hui Niang earlier, but now she will never abandon Han Shao, how much people love wealth and nobility in the world, and when they are in trouble, there are still people who hug each other, which is admirable. No matter how much she didn't like Hui Niang, but now she was only moved, and said in a trembling voice: "Hui Niang, why are you suffering?" What's the pain? I want to leave a root for our Han family......" When I heard that Hui Niang gave birth to a son for Han Shao, Mrs. Han seemed to see a ray of light, which was the blood and blood of the Han family.
Hui Niang looked at Mrs. Han fixedly, and spit out words like gold: "You can't drive me away again, this time you can't separate me from Brother Shao." ”
Han Shao thought he would never cry again. When she said this. Tears did not fall down their own. It's warm, it's painful, it's bitter. She could have stayed out of the matter, but she entered the edict so stupidly and wanted to be assigned with him. In the bitter cold land of the border, even many men can't endure such hardships, let alone a weak woman like Huiniang.
Qingxia was still shouting like a madman: "I'm not Han Shao's wife, Cheng Huiniang is!" ”
Finally. A jailer approached. Jailer A glanced coldly: "Shut up for me, shout again, and be careful with the whip." "Whip when waving your hand, "Whoosh!" in the air! Sou! After a few shakes, he was so frightened that he avoided the railing of the prison, for fear that he would accidentally fall on himself.
The jailer B in the back smiled sarcastically, "King Huaiyang was also deprived of the prince and demoted to a concubine because he was involved in this case?" I also think of myself as the lord of the county. is already a common person, not as good as us ordinary people. ”
One of them!
Qingxia looked pained. She is the lord of the county, she is the golden branch and jade leaf of the royal family, and her father is the old prince of the palace on the left shoulder......
Zixia couldn't believe it and said, "Your Majesty...... Take away our titles? ”
Jailer A raised his head and smiled, "In this prison, except for Qin prisoners, they are serious criminals and important criminals. Anyone involved in a 'traitor's case is a guilty offender. ”
The slightly older Ye Qingqing was frightened at the moment, hugged Zixia, and said in a childish voice: "Mother, I don't want to die!" I don't want to die! ”
Qingxia's pretty face was pale and bloodless with fright, she is not the lord of the royal family, she is a concubine! The court can kill the Shuren, and she is about to be killed.
Cui Shan earlier, there was no rebellion after the last one, because she was never deprived of her status as the county lord, and the same was true for the eldest princess of Yunhe. After leaving the edict, although they each lowered their titles, they managed to save their lives. And today, their sisters were originally the lords of the royal family, but they were degraded, which means that they will suffer from displacement with their husbands.
From the capital to the bitter cold land, thousands of miles away, how many people died in Huangquan on the way to distribution.
Zixia said loudly: "You are talking nonsense! How can the emperor deprive us of our titles? You are talking nonsense! We are the county lords of the royal palace on the left shoulder, and we have royal blood in our veins......"
Jailer B shook his head and pointed to a door inside, "Is there anyone locked up in the innermost part of Zhilu Dao?" The former King of Huaiyang, not only him, but also the former Qinghou and Jinyang Hou......" The jailer looked sympathetic, "If you want to talk about dignity, the people in there are not more noble than you." Now, they have all become prisoners of the imperial court! ”
The inner layer is Han Dong and Han Lun's father and son, as well as the patriarch of the Cao family, Cao Yuzhen's uncle, third uncle and others. But the prison inside will not be the innermost layer, because the jailer uses the "innermost". How many floors are there in the dungeon? They don't know.
Success is the wealth of the sky, and defeat is the fall of the head.
For these people, how the emperor will deal with them, no one can guess.
Qingxia didn't want to die, thinking that she was dying like a cat and dog, she was afraid for a while, "Han Shao, I want to reconcile with you, since you have the Cheng family, why are you looking for me, why are you looking for me?" ”
Once, she fell in love with Han Shao and was bound to marry Han Shao as his wife.
For the sake of glory and wealth, the Han family forced away Huiniang.
In order to let Han Shao marry Qingxia as his wife, Mrs. Han even humiliated Huiniang with vicious language, forcing Huiniang to be difficult to let go, and had to jump into the river to find her short.
Jailer A said, "It's late! You are already wearing a sinful body, even if you are reconciled, it will not exempt you from the guilt, stay in peace, and let everyone be quiet. Early tomorrow morning, I will send out the border! ”
"No!" Qingxia covered her ears and screamed, "No—my father won't stand idly by, my father will definitely save us." ”
Jailer A opened the cell door, and Hui Niang entered with her baggage, and a strong smell of sweat went straight to her nose. In the past, all the delicately dressed and decent women were still as noble and decent as in the past, and they were all like beggars in the suburbs of Beicheng.
Han Da\ Grandma Luo approached Hui Niang, her expression was entangled, "Hui Niang...... Can you lend me your clothes? I'm dying of pain......"
That night they were sent to prison, and everyone did not bring a change of clothes, and now it was the height of summer, and each one stinked more than the other, as if they were about to give birth to maggots, so many people were crowded into a prison cell, and it was stuffy and hot, although the jailers brought a bucket of water every hour, but the water was only enough to drink, how could they bathe and bathe.
The clothes brought by Hui Niang are not valuable, but they will be very comfortable after wearing, and the women in the mountains and villages wear such coarse cloth clothes, which are breathable and sweat-absorbent.
When she opened the baggage, Roche was startled, but it was two pieces of coarse fabric with blue and black backgrounds and white dyed flowers.
Hui Niang asked, "Do you still want it?" ”
Han Luo helped Mrs. Han and looked at the clothes in the baggage, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Mrs. Han said, "If you want to come, won't you pack up a few changes of clothes for us?" ”
Hui Niang's eyes were lowered, and she took out two sets of her own change of clothes, and there were two sets of men's clothes underneath, which were also the most common styles. It was Han Shao's that was taken away, and there were two clothes that looked better, made of ordinary cocoon silk, but half-new and old. She swept Mrs. Han's face, "I thought about bringing clothes for you, the Han family has been seized by the government, let alone packing up a few clothes, I'm afraid that I can't even take an ant away." These two bodies were worn by my mother and I earlier, and although they are not new, they are more wearable than usual. If you don't give it up, you can use it as a change of clothes. ”
Mrs. Han saw that these two bodies were still agreeable, thinking that in her life, there were a lot of new clothes, when to wear the old clothes worn by others, and now she was in the prison next to her, and she took a set of stone blue and put it on. Mrs. Han changed her clothes, so Luo and Han Luo pulled their old clothes in the corner of the wall to cover them, and changed them to Han Luo after a while.
Outside the door, there was a sound of footsteps, and a female jailer led a famous woman in, and this woman was also cleaned up neatly.
Han Luo whispered, "Are you Mama Feng of the Jinling Grand County Lord's Mansion?" ”
Mrs. Feng smiled slightly, "I was ordered by the lord of the county to buy three young and beautiful people from the official maids and go back to my eldest son as wives and concubines. ”
Even if it is a concubine, it is better than the suffering in the border, at least she can be fed and clothed, and she can live in peace, with Han Luo's delicateness, I am afraid that it will be gone before you reach the border; Or when you go to the border, you can't endure the hardships there, or it's gone. How do you want to give the tax Chang Geng as a wife and concubine is better than being an official maid, although it is an official maid is a girl, life and death can be left to the master's family, if the fate is good, the lord takes a fancy to the identity of the aunt, so it is still a concubine.
Since the best ending is to make Han Luo a concubine, Mrs. Han decided to use her acquaintance to let Mrs. Feng buy Han Luo. If it was in the past, Mrs. Han was afraid that she wouldn't take a second look, but at this moment, her heart moved, and she pulled Han Luo and said, "Mama Feng, what do you think of my family?" Han Luo said softly, "Mother", what did she want to say, and Mrs. Han made a look at her. "Listen to my mother, as long as you live well in the future, you are better than anything else."
The prison of the Criminal Department is not a place for people to stay, even if there are thousands of miles to go out of the imperial city, how many men will die on the way to distribution, not to mention the delicate daughter family like Han Luo, who is fortunate to be able to save a life with a concubine.
Mrs. Feng looked at Han Luo with a scrutinizing and scrutinizing gaze, from head to toe, it had only been a few days, and the former young lady was now embarrassed, her hair was messy, her face was full of dirt, and her gorgeous clothes exuded a smell of sweat.
Mrs. Han said in an almost begging tone: "Mama Feng, buy Luo'er!" He said, "Please."
How could you have spoken to people like this before?
Mrs. Han is such a daughter, and the Han family was convicted, so they just asked Han Luo to have a good place to go.
Mrs. Feng turned her head and said to the female jailer beside her: "Can you bother your sister-in-law to fetch two buckets of water and wash the faces of the young girls, so that I can look more carefully." My son-in-law has not yet married, and the county lord has an order to pick some beautiful and lovely people to go back. He reached out and took the hand of the female jailer and shoved the silver into her hand without a trace.
The female jailer immediately laughed when she got the silver, "Mama Feng is waiting, I'll let people fetch water." ”
The young girls in the two women's prisons scrambled to wash their faces with water, and after a while, their original dirty faces were revealed, some charming, some delicate, and some beautiful.
Mrs. Feng pointed to this, and then chose that, and for a time there were as many as five, except for Han Luo, and another woman with the surname Han was selected, I don't know the name, but it is more beautiful and moving than Han Luo. Mrs. Feng chose two more young ladies from the Cao clan, and one was the official eunuch who was affected by Han Cao's "fornication traitor" case. (To be continued......)
