Without knowing it, Hui Niang learned that she was dead. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This brought a great psychological impact to her, and she began to be afraid, afraid that she would be killed and killed, or that the court would find out the truth of the matter, whether it would affect her daughter and behead her.
Hui Niang's body trembled, and it was not until dawn that she was escorted into the cell, because nearly half of the prison number in this cell was burned, and all the prisoners could only be held in a centralized manner.
After tossing all night, the female prisoners were very tired at this time, they quickly fell asleep against the wall, although Hui Niang felt that her eyes were astringent, but she did not feel sleepy at all, she was afraid that something would happen next.
In the morning, people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple came to check the fire in the prison of the Criminal Department, and then even the people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei also came, and Hui Niang tried to keep her head down so as not to be seen.
"There is an explanation above, since five deaths have been reported, it can only be five, and if anyone leaks out, there will be no mercy!" Hui Niang was frightened and heard the officials of the Criminal Department at the door explaining to Liu Po.
Liu Po's voice came: "The old woman remembered the words of the adult, and the old woman understood...... Say what should be said, don't say what shouldn't be said. ”
After that, Liu Po and several jailers were called out for questioning one after another, and when they came back, their expressions were normal, and they were giggling and talking from time to time. It can be seen that the fire did not affect the jailers and the three aunts and six women in these cells.
Hui Niang waited until noon in a state of anxiety, and finally started the meal, still very rough corn porridge with bran and pebbles, and a plate of boiled cabbage that did not even taste salty.
Hui Niang picked up the rice bowl, and suddenly felt a sadness, she didn't feel it when she ate good things before, but now she suddenly eats brown rice and mussels, which makes her feel extremely sad.
However, it was all self-inflicted!
It's good to live the envy of others, but for the sake of the tone in my heart, I don't listen to the advice, I have to work hard, but in the end, I put myself in.
"If you don't eat it, I'll eat it!"
A sturdy woman in her early thirties next to her saw that Hui Niang was holding the bowl in her hand and didn't eat, so she directly snatched the thick bowl and drank it in a few sips.
Hui Niang wanted to say something, but the other party glanced at her viciously and threw the thick bowl back, "The one who eats you is the one who looks up to you!" Look at your fine skin and tender meat, your lord used to love you very much, right? Don't look at you as a wife, and I'm just a servant chopping wood in the kitchen, but here, all prisoners are the same......"
"Do you think that if you blacken your face, the jailers will think you're ugly? Those guys are smarter than monkeys, and when the lust heart pulls you out, you'll know how powerful you are when the time comes! ”
Hui Niang was obedient and didn't dare to squeak, because she herself was small-footed, and even if she had a little strength, she couldn't do the heavy work in front of her.
Those women were full, some found a corner and lay down on the straw and fell asleep, some talked about the fire last night, Hui Niang shrunk back, hid in the corner and didn't dare to speak, she hugged her legs, she felt very helpless, she really hoped that there would be someone to rely on at this time, she naturally thought of Shen Xi, thinking of what Shen Xi said when he came to visit her the day before yesterday, every word was imprinted in her mind.
"The woman of the Lu family who burned to death, I heard that she was a poisonous woman, and she didn't say anything about killing her husband, but also came out to show her face, there are really such shameless people in this world!"
The sturdy woman began to talk about Hui Niang, but she was talking about her who had already "died", "It doesn't matter if you die, die early and be born early, anyway, you can't even enter the ancestral grave, this kind of woman is a shame for her husband's family to live." ”
In this era, the idea of three obedience and four virtues is deep-rooted, Hui Niang heard this, her face was ashamed, and she also regretted coming out to show up. used to run a small pharmacy, and it was actually good to be able to barely maintain the lives of herself and her daughter, but she met the Shen family, I don't know if it was luck or misfortune.
"If I had to choose again, I would still like to meet them." Hui Niang secretly wept and whispered softly, "At least I have met, and I have no regrets in this life!" ”
Hui Niang was extremely sad in her heart, leaning on her knees, and gradually fell asleep.
Before she knew it, it was dusk, and when it was time to eat, Hui Niang was still sleepy, and she thought about how good it would be to be able to sleep for a long time.
Just when she was in a daze, she heard the sound of unlocking, Hui Niang opened her eyes, and saw Liu Po walking into the cell, shouting: "The prisoners should be detained separately and taken away!" ”
A group of jailers immediately came up, and each of the female prisoners was escorted away by a jailer, but there were two people standing beside Hui Niang.
The other female prisoners were escorted to the makeshift prison number inside the prison, not far from the previous fire, while Hui Niang was escorted out.
"This ...... Where is this going? ”
Hui Niang was extremely nervous, she felt that this was the way out of the cell, if someone wanted to kill her, no one could make the decision for her, because she was already "dead", and she was already a person who did not exist in this world.
"Madam Qin, don't act rashly, we have already pinned our heads to the waistband of our trousers, if you move, we will kill you, and even destroy your corpse!"
The jailer made threatening words, which frightened Hui Niang like a cicada, and lowered her head and followed suit.
Hui Niang has seen the world in the Chamber of Commerce on weekdays, and she is eloquent, but in the face of these murderous and unblinking servants, she found that she was very powerless, just like grass mustard and duckweed floating on the water, and she couldn't help herself.
In the end, Hui Niang did not take her to the direction of the main entrance of the prison, but came to a cell in the backyard where the prisoner was interrogated alone, and when she got inside, Hui Niang was blindfolded, and she was about to scream, and her mouth was blocked with a cloth. The body struggled desperately, but soon the hands and feet were tied, even the neck and waist and abdomen were no exception, and the real five flowers were tied.
"Woo ......"
Hui Niang was extremely sad in her heart, and secretly regretted that she shouldn't have listened to Shen Xi at all, maybe she was killed headlong before, and it was better than the current situation.
With tears in her eyes, she was lifted upright, and when she was light, she felt thrown into a carriage, and her body was thrown into pain.
"Take it away, find a place to bury it! Hey, another one died in the blink of an eye, what a bad luck! "Someone is talking.
When Hui Niang heard that these people were going to bury herself alive, her mood was calm.
Death is no longer a terrible thing for her, but it has been long-awaited for a long time, and doing so is not a violation of the promise made to Shen Xi.
The carriage drove out of several gates in succession, and the guards only took a cursory look at it and let it go.
The carriage drove out of the back door of the criminal department and continued to move forward, turning two or three streets in a row, and finally stopped at the mouth of an alley. Soon, a person came up, replaced the man who was driving before, and was about to set off, but he heard a voice sound: "Xiao Yu'er, why didn't you take a look at your face and left?" ”
Hui Niang heard it clearly, but it was Liu Po's voice.
"Aunt Liu, I have something important to deal with at this moment, let's talk about it later, okay?" The new driver replied.
That Liu Po didn't care about it, and sat straight on the frame.
In order to avoid suspicion, the driver had to drive the carriage.
Liu Po laughed: "Xiao Yu'er, I heard that you are now working in the 24th prison, do you want the old woman to introduce you to a few girls?" If one day you are suddenly purified, you won't need to talk about it......"
"No, I'm trying to figure out how to transfer the Imperial Horse Warden." Although the man who was driving the car seemed very impatient, he still replied stubbornly.
Liu Po smiled: "You should make a lot of money by making this big deal, right?" What do you do with money? You should find a few more women and give birth to a few big fat boys for you, so that even if you accidentally offend Shangguan and clean your body, it can be regarded as a ...... for your Peng family."
Then the conversation between Liu Po and the driver almost revolved around the woman. Although the driver was very reluctant, he still responded from time to time.
While talking, Liu Po lifted the curtain of the carriage to observe the situation inside. Hui Niang felt a cool breeze blowing, and was about to struggle, but was slapped in the face by Liu Po.
The man who drove the car said: "Aunt Liu, you take it lightly, this is a good baby, if you break it, we won't be able to make money." ”
"What? Distressed? Do you want to find a place where no one is around, so that you can have a good time first? It's okay, it's not a yellow flower girl, even if you send it over, you don't know over there. Liu Po said in a weird way.
The man who drove the car hurriedly said: "Aunt Liu, you want me to be poked in the back, if I really do this, I will only be a fool when I die in the future." ”
Liu Po smiled and said: "Look at your cowardice, but I don't know which family lacks the heart and eyes, and actually wants such a disaster...... Tomorrow, Suncheonfu will give her a new identity...... Xiao Yu'er, let's discuss selling a few women to you! ”
After walking for more than half an hour, the carriage stopped, and the driver said, "Aunt Liu, look...... The man who bought this 'dead body' doesn't want anyone to know who he is, you're old ...... Go back first? ”
"Stinky boy, empty mouth and white teeth want to send me away? It's not that easy! ”
Liu Po looked angry.
But it was the acquaintance of the driver of the car, and the sound of rustling sounded, and finally the sound of silver ingots colliding. With the silver to open the way, then naturally everything is easy to say, Liu Po happily got out of the car, and then left.
The driver jumped into the carriage again, lifted the curtain and said, "Madam, please forgive me, you will soon be in the place, and you will be safe from prison!" ”
Hui Niang still didn't quite understand what was going on.
He was clearly a key criminal arrested by the government, and now that the case has not even been concluded, he suddenly "died".
Who is it?
Hui Niang's heart jumped uncontrollably, she immediately thought of Shen Xi, and among the people she knew at the moment, the only one who had the ability to save her in this way seemed to be Shen Xi alone. But she didn't dare to be too delusional, because she knew that as much hope as there was, there would be great disappointment.
The carriage walked for another half an hour before stopping, and Hui Niang was already heartbroken, but she still had a little more expectations for the future.
The driver jumped out of the carriage, and then the voice came: "My lord, the 'dead body' has been brought to you, and no one has followed you along the way......"
The sound of footsteps came, and there was still a little light, but unfortunately Hui Niang's eyes were blindfolded, and her mouth "whined", but she couldn't speak.
"Thank you, sir...... Thank you, ......."
The driver seemed to have received some reward, "My lord, I haven't asked you what you mean, but I think you are familiar with this person, so you shouldn't need to be disciplined, so the little one sent someone directly to you...... You just take the person away, you must take care of it in the near future, if the person is accidentally lost, it may ...... Many people want to fall to the ground. ”
Soon, there was the sound of boxes falling to the ground and moving.
Hui Niang was listening intently, and suddenly the car curtain was opened from the outside, and there was a burst of light in front of her, Hui Niang wanted to know who was outside, and her head couldn't help but raise her head.
Suddenly, someone got into the carriage and put their hands on her body.
"Woo ......"
Hui Niang struggled twice, but it was useless, and she was directly stopped by the man and hugged her.
That man was very strong, like a strong man, Hui Niang felt that her body was light, and her body left the carriage, and the man was about to carry her out of the car.
"My lord, give you a stool."
The driver hurriedly brought the stool, and the person holding her was not hypocritical, and walked directly down the stool. But Hui Niang was unyielding and struggled desperately...... Even if her body was tied up, she couldn't stand the awkward feeling of being held in her arms.
"Don't move!"
Suddenly, a voice came, very low, but Hui Niang was honest in an instant, and tears quickly slipped from the corners of her eyes, because the owner of this voice was none other than Shen Xi, who she was looking forward to.
"Take these four boxes of silver back, it's hard work!"
After Shen Xi finished talking to the person who was driving the car, he hugged Hui Niang and got into another carriage.
This time, the carriage was no longer made of hard wood, but was covered with soft pillows and quilts.
Shen Xi didn't untie Hui Niang's blindfold and gag, and didn't even care about the ropes on her body, after putting her delicate body away, Shen Xi drove the car in person, and there was another bump.
But this time, Hui Niang's heart is much warmer, less of that kind of fear, and more of a kind of guilt and self-shame.
There is also a kind of happiness.
She leaned her head on the soft pillow, imagining that this was Shen Xi's embrace, but unfortunately Shen Xi was driving outside and didn't give her a chance to snuggle.
