Chapter 44: Meet Zilian Again
Wei Si didn't pay attention to these two wicked people, but looked at the woman who had become disheveled and covered in mud like a beggar who was brought out by Wei Shen, and asked:
"Girl, are you alright?"
The woman gently brushed away the messy hair in front of her with her hand, looked at the man who asked her, and suddenly saw this person, the woman was instantly shocked:
"You...... You...... You are Wei ......! ”
Wei Si hurriedly said:
"I'm from Wei, interrupted what the woman wanted to continue!"
Immediately he turned to the woman again and made a 'shhh' gesture with his hand to his mouth.
The woman seemed to realize what Wei Si meant, so she stopped and thanked her:
"Thank you for saving Zilian's life!"
As soon as Wei Si heard the name 'Zi Lian', he was stunned for a moment, and after he came to his senses, he carefully looked at the woman in front of him, although she looked like a beggar, but her figure and appearance were really exactly the same as the Zi Lian she saw in the palace that day, Wei Si couldn't help but say excitedly:
"You...... You...... Are you really the Azusa Ripple I saw that day? ”
Zi Lian looked at King Wei although he was a little timid, but now when he saw King Wei's expression on his face, he suddenly felt a little kind again, so he nodded:
"Yes! I'm Zilian! ”
Next to him, Su Qin suddenly said to Wei Si at this time:
"Lord, those two wicked people just now escaped while we weren't paying attention!"
Wei Shen didn't know where to run back and hurriedly said to King Wei:
"Lord, Wei Shen and I have been derelict in my duty, I went to chase those two wicked people just now, but I didn't catch them!"
Wei Si replied:
"It's okay, as long as they are still in Pingyang City, they won't be able to escape!"
Then comforted Zi Lian:
"Miss Zilian, you don't have to worry, these two people actually dare to be evildoers in this Wei country, I will definitely let people arrest them back, and let Miss Zilian take revenge and resolve your hatred in person!"
Zi Lian looked at Wei Si very gratefully and said:
"Zilian, I didn't expect that you are not at all like the outside world rumored, but such a close person!"
Wei Si smiled lightly, looked at the crowd around him, and pointed to an uninhabited intersection not far away:
"Miss Zilian, why don't we go over there and talk about it, it's inconvenient to have a lot of people here!"
Zi Lian nodded.
After arriving at a place with few people, Wei Si asked Zilian:
"Miss Zilian, why were you caught here? Why didn't you stay in Daliang for a few more days that day, but you had to leave in a hurry? ”
Seeing that King Wei asked him this, Zi Lian didn't dare to hide it, so he told King Wei all about his experiences these days.
It turned out that Zilian suffered a wind chill that night due to falling into the icy river, so he found a farmer near Guanze and planned to borrow it for one night.
But I didn't expect the male owner of this farmer's house Shu Jin to be a ruffian helplessly, seeing Zi Lian's beauty, he directly got up with a bad heart, and after Zi Lian lived in his own house, he naturally treated him hobbyly, and went to buy medicine for Zi Lian to come back to give him to take, but fortunately, he took into account that his wife was also at home, and he didn't do anything too much to Zi Lian.
Two days later, Zi Lian's body recovered, and when he was going to leave the next day, the male owner Shu Jin broke away from his wife that night, and gave him sweat medicine in Zi Lian's decoction, and after Zi Lian fell asleep after taking the medicine, this Shu Jin came in directly and began to want to occupy Zi Lian's body.
But I didn't expect that at this time, the wife suddenly came back, and found that her husband actually wanted to occupy the woman who came to his house to borrow, so he was naturally furious, and he quarreled directly with Shu Jin, who was also a man who was afraid of his wife, and finally compromised with his wife, and the two decided to sell this Zi Lian Tuo to this Pingyang after some discussion.
After Wei Si heard this, he couldn't help but be furious:
"This Shujin couple is really too much, if the widow catches it, the widow must make it like the King of Qin did to Wei Ying, and the five horses can't be divided!"
Su Qin said on the side:
"King, anyway, we are going to Guanze now, and when the time comes, you can personally punish this Jin for Miss Zilian!"
So Wei Si took Zilian back to his residence, and then ordered someone to go to the city to search for the two strong men who captured Zilian.
Early the next morning, Wei Si did not rush to leave, but asked people to bring the two strong men who were caught, and then also escorted the proprietress of the house who was going to buy Zilian over, ordered someone to press on the ground, and began to interrogate him personally.
I only heard Wei Si first question the two strong men:
"Who gave you the courage to bully a woman from a good family?"
These two strong men knew that the person in front of them was actually the dignified Queen of Wei, and when they looked up one day, they didn't even dare to reply.
Wei Si ordered the guards to kick the two of them fiercely, and then said sharply:
"When the king asks you, why don't you answer?"
One of the big men timidly replied:
"King, we have no choice but to do it, in fact, we are just selling our lives to eat!"
Another big man also reacted, and pointed to the proprietress of the building next to him:
"It's all it, it's it, we all do things for it to eat, so we don't know Miss Zilian, and we almost caused a big disaster!"
Wei Si smiled bitterly:
"According to you, haven't you been in trouble by now?"
At this time, Pingyang ordered Li Mao to also come in, and Wei Si pointed to the two of them and the proprietress of the building on the side:
"Li Mao, you should make it clear to them, according to our Great Wei Decree, what crime should they be guilty of?"
After Li Mao walked in front of the three of them, he said sharply to the three people who were kneeling on the ground:
"You have violated the second felony and thief law in the law of our Wei State's "Law Sutra", so according to the regulations, all of them should be punished!"
The proprietress of the house was directly frightened and cried at this time:
"The King...... O king, I have been wronged...... I was wronged...... Wronged! ”
Zi Lian heard that the three of them had to be tortured, and he couldn't bear it, so he came over and persuaded Wei Si:
"King, Zilian, can I ask you for something?"
Wei Si naturally understood that Zi Lian wanted to intercede for these three people, so he said:
"Even if a widow breaks the law, he must be punished, let alone these arrogant lawbreakers?"
Zi Lian immediately said:
"Won't you punish them a little less, my lord?"
Wei Si first said to Zilian very seriously:
"The law is unforgiving!"
After seeing Zi Lian's expression that seemed to be eager for herself, she sighed:
"Well, since they are crimes against Zilian, Zilian has to intercede for them, then the widow will agree!"
Then he said to Li Mao:
"These two men are very tough, it's a pity not to serve in the military, so the widow will sentence them to serve in the military in Hedong!"
After glancing at the proprietress of the mansion again, Wei Si said:
"As for this woman, presumably she must have harmed a lot of women from good families when she opened a house before, so her house will be sealed, and the girls in it will be sent back, as for it, let's go back to prison for three months!"
At this time, when the two men heard that they didn't have to be tortured, they hurriedly crawled over and kept kowtowing to the King of Wei to thank him.
And after the proprietress of the house knew that she would have nothing and would be in a prison cell for three months, she fainted directly in fright.
Wei Si reminded Li Mao again:
"Remember to investigate all the crimes of these three people in detail, and then publicize them to warn those places such as those who still want to bully women from good families, do you know?"
Li Mao hurriedly knelt on the ground:
"Obey, King, I, Li Mao, will do as you say now!"
When Wei Si saw Wei Shen approaching, he asked:
"Are those ready?"
Wei Shen replied:
"Your Majesty, everything is ready, just waiting for your departure, Your Majesty!"
Wei Si pulled the sleeve of La Zilian:
"Miss Zilian, let's go!"
Zi Lian was stunned for a moment:
"King, aren't you going to Guanze to meet the princes? It's not good for me to follow you like this, and I'm going to go to Qi to find my cousin! ”
Wei Si showed a hint of a smile:
"Miss Zilian, what are you afraid of? The widow won't eat you? And aren't you going to the country of Qi? Just on the same road with the widow, the widow can give you a ride! ”
Then he forcibly pulled Zi Lian out of the door and sat with him on the chariot driven by six carriages.
