Chapter 108: Contradictions
Qu Miaoling's doubts continued until the inn, and seeing that the group of people had been delayed in Ai County for too long, Qu Miaoling had the idea of leaving quickly.
This land of right and wrong seems to have been controlled by the minions of the Wen Mansion, and if you stay here any longer, I am afraid that there will be a lot of incidents.
Thinking like this, Qu Miaoling said softly: "Gentle, let's pack up our things and leave quickly!" β
Gently responded, and quickly asked the guards to clean up, and the well-fed horses were brought back from the backyard.
Sitting in the carriage, Qu Miaoling and his party were about to leave the city, and Katsuragi hurriedly caught up with him on a fast horse.
"Miss, Katsuragi is chasing after you!"
Gentle walking.
"Stop." Qu Miaoling shouted to stop, which also frightened the carriage.
"Miss Qu, the county master invites you to watch the execution."
Qu Miaoling knew that this criminal law should be made for her, but in order to cooperate with the drama performed by that group of people, she still agreed.
"Wait a minute, guard Ge, we'll turn around immediately."
"Miss, let's hurry out of the city!"
This Ai County is too evil, and she almost lost her own young lady, and she was even more frightened.
"Gentle girl, don't worry, it's just one more day, it's nothing!"
"But we're still -" Seeing that Qingrou was about to tell the purpose of their trip, Qu Miaoling hurriedly said, "Guard Ge, please lead the way." "Katsuragi had no choice but to turn over and get on the horse.
It's just that in his heart, he has doubts about soft words.
What is the purpose of letting the lord of the county go far away to solve it?
I guess their highnesses don't know.
Thinking about this, Katsuragi slapped the horse's buttocks, and the horse neighed and ran forward in pain.
"Miss, why should we go over and see, isn't it good for us to rush our own way?" Gently or not understood.
Qu Miaoling smiled mysteriously, "People sing a big drama for us, where can we miss it?" β
Gentle and even more incomprehensible.
What are the young ladies talking about?
But this time, until he got off the carriage, Qu Miaoling didn't explain anything superfluous.
"Gentle, I remember that Wen Xiangdong seemed to have a family with him that night, what about those people?"
"Oh, those people, I asked deliberately, and I was kicked away by the county master!"
Qu Miaoling nodded, in this case, she believed Situ Huai's speculation.
To the east, Wang Yueran will take it lightly, and it will definitely not endanger his life.
After all, he is the nephew of the dignified prime minister.
Wang Yueran couldn't afford to be guilty.
A group of people came to the prefectural office, and Katsuragi had been waiting here for a long time.
Walking up to the hall, Qu Miaoling saw Situ Huaizhu sitting at the top, and the county lord smiled at Qu Miaoling flatteringly.
Situ Huaizhu was expressionless, as if he was still angry.
Gently touched the young lady's arm and motioned for her to give the other party a step down, but Qu Miaoling sat on the round stool prepared by the county magistrate and waited seriously for the promotion.
Soft:......
Their young lady is quite rebellious!
Qingrou was thinking nonsense, and the county lord shouted, "Ascension!" β
"Take the prisoner!" The master of the government shouted loudly.
Two women in ragged clothes, dressed in an embarrassed Wen Xiangdong, were brought up.
The wrists and ankles of the two women were tied with heavy iron chains, and it was inconvenient to move, and when they were pushed by the soldiers, they staggered, and there were faint traces of redness and swelling between their wrists.
Look at Wen Xiangdong again, his clothes are dirty, his face is still clean, and even the chains on his wrists and ankles seem to be lighter than those of the two women, Qu Miaoling paid special attention to his wrists, and there was no trace of redness and swelling.
In this regard, Qu Miaoling hooked her lips.
Sure enough, as she thought, the county master would probably deal with it lightly.
The county master is also able to bend and stretch, and it should not be said that he is afraid of the soft and the hard.
His beloved concubine, I heard that she has been spoiled for more than a year, and it hurts like an eyeball, but she became a prisoner so easily, and she has to bear a heavy punishment, and Wen Xiangdong, the adulterer who strengthened his woman, was so wide.
How ridiculous!
Qu Miaoling's smile deepened, but the sarcasm deepened.
Not far away, Situ Huai swept Qu Miaoling's smile and immediately frowned.
What the hell is this woman thinking!
Following her gaze, sure enough, he also saw the point.
Butβ
"The sinner is like a family, uneasy in the room, and the second prince of the prime minister's house colluded with adultery, the crime is unforgivable, such as the family is sentenced to death, Wen Xiangdong, the crime is not to death, the rod is punished for thirty, to set an example!"
The token was thrown down, representing the establishment of Wang Yueran's verdict.
After that, the woman who was full of nonsense was also sentenced to death, the same capital punishment as Ru's.
In each state and county, the death penalty is dealt with differently and is dealt with according to the culpability of the condemned prisoner.
In Ai County, women who have committed adultery are pushed to mass graves and buried alive, and their families are not allowed to erect monuments, let alone take people back for burial.
Let them be devoured by wild beasts and wild birds in this mass grave, and their bones will be gone.
The husband's family will not be merciful to these women, and these women, who will not be at peace after death, will definitely become lonely ghosts.
Wang Yueran invited Qu Miaoling and Situ Huai to watch the execution, and after the official beat thirty boards, he was thrown out of Ai County.
After a good fight, Qu Miaoling was surprised to find that although Nawen Xiangdong was crying out in pain intermittently, the sound of cursing was getting higher and higher, and there was no pain and howl of the criminals next to him being beaten.
Qu Miaoling's eyes flashed, and he knew that there must have been something to do here.
But when she first arrived, she couldn't take care of it, so she didn't speak.
After processing the text, Xiangdong, a group of people went straight to the mass grave.
Watching the servants digging the pit, the two women let out a frightened cry and begged for mercy.
But Wang Yueran ordered someone to gag the mouths of the two, as if they were afraid that they would say something.
Qu Miaoling didn't say anything about this.
Seeing that the two big pits were dug and the two women were thrown into them, the officials frantically filled in the soil.
Because their hands were tied behind their backs, whenever their hands climbed to the edge of the pit, some officials would step on them fiercely, until the hands of the two men were bloodied and they were still running desperately out, and the pit was also filled in the waists of the two people.
Looking at the two people who couldn't stop waving their hands in the air and desperately struggling to throw dirt out, Qu Miaoling was expressionless, and he could even be said to be a little cold.
Just like a bystander, he watched this tragic scene with a cold eye.
Burying people alive is a great hatred!
Situ Huai looked at it, his fists couldn't help but clench, and when he saw Qu Miaoling's expression again, the expression on his face became more and more hideous.
Is this woman really so ruthless?
Situ Huai couldn't believe it.
At this moment, the two women had been buried in their necks, already breathing bitterly, faintly in a coma.
Situ Huaizhu glanced at Qu Miaoling again, his eyes were full of expectation, the wife who framed her deserved to die, but that Ru family, but her background was pitiful and her fate was miserable, she was just a chess piece controlled by the Wen Mansion, she was innocent by a man, and now she has to be buried alive, is it too ruthless?
Looking at Qu Miaoling's still cold expression, the alienation of the other party from the outside world made Situ Huaiqi unable to believe it, and at the same time, his heart seemed to be cold.
If she did something sorry for Qu Miaoling one day, would she design herself backhand and let herself die!
Thinking like this, Situ Huai's heart became even colder!
The servants were gone, and the two women also lost their breath, tilting their heads at the moment, and the blood gradually disappeared from their faces.
Wang Yueran was afraid that the two of them were not dead, so he ordered someone to guard here.
After doing this, Wang Yueran said: "The county king, the county lord, the lower officials have handled it well, you two are still satisfied." β
Situ Huaiqi didn't speak, just left directly.
The county lord was stunned, "County lord, is the county king dissatisfied with what the lower officials did?" β
Qu Miaoling looked at Situ Huaiju's back and didn't speak.
"Don't worry, the county lord just can't adapt to it for a while, and it will be fine after a while." Wang Yueran was relieved at this time.
"County master, you take someone to go first, I'll go see the county king!" After speaking, he went to chase Situ Huai with gentleness.
The other party walked extremely fast, coupled with his tall stature and martial arts, he took one step at a time, and Qu Miaoling had to take several steps to catch up.
Seeing that the distance between the two was getting farther and farther, Qu Miaoling simply trotted up, and slowly narrowed the distance between the two.
"Your Highness, slow down, Miss Qu is chasing you."
Unlike in the past, Situ Huaizhu just snorted this time, and Gecheng was very strange.
But Qu Miaoling had already chased after him, and he couldn't say anything else.
Seeing that the atmosphere of the two of them was not very good, Katsuragi pulled the kiss enough to walk away, and gently didn't know what happened to the two of them, and was trying to listen, but was pulled away by Katsuragi without saying anything, she struggled desperately, but where was the small body that was the opponent of Katsuragi, who was tall and big, it was easily pulled away.
There were only Qu Miaoling and Situ Huaiju left.
Because the mass grave was placed halfway up the mountain, the two of them walked down the mountain together, the terrain was a little shaky, Qu Miaoling's body was unstable, and he almost fell.
Situ Huai subconsciously reached out to help, but immediately bounced away.
Qu Miaoling, who watched quickly, was also a little angry, a big man, how could he be so careful!
"Qu Miaoling, is your heart made of ice?" Suddenly questioned, Qu Miaoling was dumbfounded.
"What did you say?"
"Are you a cold-blooded animal, and I can't do anything to keep you warm?"
"Situ Huaiju, what the hell are you talking about!" Qu Miaoling called his name for the first time, but he didn't expect it to be on such an occasion.
Qu Miaoling didn't refute, and the other party continued to ask, "That woman framed you and was buried alive, and she was barely embarrassed, isn't that Rushi the spy of the Wen Mansion?" Why do you still hurt her! Don't you know that she's only fourteen years old, only a year older than you! You're so ruthless! The incoming questioning made Qu Miaoling stunned, and the facial features on her face gradually stiffened.
The light that came out of her eyes also changed from confusion to coldness and detachment.
"King Junjun, are you too naΓ―ve!"
Qu Miaoling said coldly, there was no trace of temperature in his words, and he was shivering from the cold.
