Chapter 393: Temptation
(Thank you for my precious monthly vote, thank you to the scarecrow for your valuable evaluation vote, thank you for the scarecrow's reward, thank you.) )
Shengze Guijia was suddenly seized by the government, and it was directly seized by the Yamen of Shangyuan County, this news alarmed the entire Qinhuai River, you must know that all the green buildings in the Qinhuai River are closely related to the government, either the boss behind it is a scholar doctor in the south, a big businessman, or it is very familiar with some officials in the government, and because the Qinhuai River is very famous, not only in Nanjing, but also in the entire south and even in the Ming Dynasty, it is a place that everyone talks about and yearns for, so for so many years, The government doesn't set foot in this area at all.
The fame of Shengze Homecoming is not small, and it is said that the origin is also very big, but it was suddenly seized by the government, and there was no news in advance, so the impact is not trivial, but the Shangyuan County Ya quickly came forward to explain, saying that Shengze Homecoming had collusion with Liukou Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others, and funded Liukou to make trouble in the north.
This explanation has caused an uproar, what are you kidding, how can Qinglou have a connection with Liukou, and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others are all in the north, and have never been to Nanjing, how can they have anything to do with the Qinhuai River, this is all something that is not related to the wind and horses, if you want to say that individual Liukou came to the Qinhuai River for entertainment, it is possible, anyway, there is no lettering on the face of the Liukou, no one knows, as long as you can take out a lot of silver, who cares who you are.
Rumors soon appeared, saying that the shopkeeper of Shengze's homecoming, Xu Fojia, had offended a certain big person, and when they went to Shengze's homecoming house, they were neglected, so they had to take action to rectify it. Of course, some people said that a few days ago, Qian Qianyi, Huang Daozhou and Qu Shiyun went to Qinhuai River and were warmly entertained by the fourth prince and others.
There are rumors from all sides.
However, the rumors suddenly disappeared in a short period of time, because the Shengze Homecoming Home had only been sealed for two days. Soon began to open for business, as if nothing had happened, and the Shangyuan County Government did not give a detailed explanation, only said that it was a matter of collusion with the rogue. It has nothing to do with Shengze Homecoming, but only with a few of them.
Attentive people found that the shopkeeper of Sheng Ze's homecoming house had changed, and Xu Fo's family was gone.
There are still people talking, after all, the Xu Fo family still has a certain reputation. Although it is already an outdated fame, no one believes that the Xu Fo family will collude with the rogue, and occasionally someone will ask about the situation of the Xu Fo family when they are entertaining in the Shengze Homecoming Courtyard, but they can't get any answer.
This kind of discussion disappeared quickly, no one would pay special attention to a Qinglou woman, everyone came to Qinhuai River to think about venting and entertainment, things that have nothing to do with themselves, a big deal. It's just a matter of feeling out for the air.
However, there are a few people who are very concerned about this matter, that is, Gu Hengbo and Kou Baimen, when the Shengze Homecoming House was suddenly sealed, they were shocked, and naturally thought of what happened in Meilou, as for the matter of the Shengze Homecoming House made by Ying Tianfu to exchange Kou, it is pure nonsense, everyone has been in Qinhuaihe for so many years, who doesn't know whose bottom line, it is impossible for Shengze Homecoming to get an exchange with Kou. Although the status of the Qinglou girl is low, she is not enough to throw herself into the arms of the rogue.
Soon the Shengze Homecoming House opened for business again, but Xu Fo's house was gone, which made them more convinced of their own judgment. Xu Fojia's actions that day offended the fourth son, and I am afraid that he suffered calculations and revenge.
This kind of speculation made Gu Hengbo and Kou Baimen a little collapsed, in their hearts, the fourth prince and the Donglin students were both humble and polite, and they were both very high-quality readers. Even a person who can be entrusted for life, how can he do such a thing, besides, Xu Fo's family is just a woman in a green building, a small shopkeeper, for a small thing, is it worth making such a big move.
Gu Hengbo and Kou Baimen are both smart people, the two of them didn't dare to say the suspicions in their hearts, but after they met, they quietly discussed, not knowing who the Xu Fo family had offended and why, so that they had encountered such a huge calculation, it was said that what happened in Meilou that day would not cause such serious consequences.
Shangyuan County Ya, prison.
Xu Fo's family has been held here for several days, during which time no one has questioned her or brought her to interrogation.
Xu Fojia's face was pale, his eyes were blank, he had just entered the prison for the first two days, she was almost untouched, and the whole person was in a state of trance and madness, Sheng Ze's homecoming was sealed, and he was imprisoned in the prison, as a weak woman, in the face of such a major blow, it was impossible to be very calm, and it was normal to think about some messy things in her head.
Xu Fo's family was imprisoned in the prison, and the treatment they enjoyed was still good, and in a separate cell, someone came to deliver food every day.
You must know that the fate of the women in the Ming Dynasty is extremely tragic, suffering from both physical and mental devastation, and there is no self-esteem here, and they can't even be regarded as people, let alone women.
A woman in Qinglou, who was imprisoned in the prison, what kind of ending she faced, it is needless to say, it is certain that she will be humiliated, life is better than death, thinking of such an ending, Xu Fojia even thought about ending her life as soon as possible.
The unpleasant stench inside the cell made Xu Fo's family unbearable, although they were imprisoned in a separate cell, but after all, this was a big prison, and there was a difference between heaven and earth from the outside.
The Xu Fo family, who has thought a lot, is close to the brink of collapse.
It was at this time that someone finally came to interrogate the Xu Fo family.
The person who came was the warden of the county government punishment room in Shangyuan County.
When the warden saw the figure of Xu Fojia, a trace of obscenity flashed in his eyes, if it wasn't for someone specifically emphasizing, the warden might be impatient to pounce at this time, as the second-in-command of the county government torture room, he has privileges in the prison, even if he does something, no one dares to speak, unless those jailers don't want to die.
Xu Fo's family was taken to the prison cell.
It is a place dedicated to the interrogation of prisoners.
There are a lot of torture instruments in the prison cell, and ordinary prisoners, when they enter the prison cell and see the gloomy torture equipment, their spirits basically collapse, and they can say whatever they ask, whether they have done it or have not done it.
"Xu Fojia, you colluded with the rogues and privately funded the rebels to rebel, what you committed was a capital crime, which is a major crime of rebellion, the lord sympathizes with you as a weak woman, and thinks that you can't do such a thing, so he specially ordered me to interrogate and give you a chance to live, you understand."
Xu Fojia's body trembled, and he looked up at the warden suddenly, and bloodshot quickly appeared in his eyes.
Of course, Xu Fojia knows what kind of crime collusion is to go rogue, this is not only a crime involving individuals, but also involving family members and even families.
"Master, the slave family did not collude with the rogue, the slave family was wronged......"
A weak woman in Xu Fo's family, who didn't know where she got the strength, actually stood up and threw herself at the warden, but she was quickly held down by the two jailers beside her.
The warden looked at Xu Fo's house and laughed a few times.
"Xu Fojia, it seems that you haven't been able to understand the master's mind, the master said, you are a weak woman, where will you collude with the rogue, you can't do such a thing, so as long as you tell the mastermind behind it, not only do you not have to suffer in the prison, but you can also get a lot of silver."
The warden's laughter was very pervasive.
Xu Fojia suddenly understood something, and looked up at the warden again, this time the anger and despair that burst out of her eyes made the wardens who had seen countless formations shudder.
Xu Fojia lowered her head and didn't speak, she vaguely understood the meaning.
The smile on the warden's face vanished, and his eyes turned cold.
"Xu Fojia, it seems that you are toasting and not eating and drinking, I remind you for the last time, didn't you go out last year, did you contact the mastermind behind you, you are a weak woman, you have never been far away, how can you know Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and other rogues, you are not instructed to do something wrong, as long as you say the mastermind behind it, you will have nothing."
Xu Fojia's face turned pale, and her body began to tremble, she never imagined that there was a big article behind this conspiracy she suffered, she was just a chess piece, and her goal was aimed at Zheng Xunrui.
Who is so bold to dare to do such a thing, what is Zheng Xunrui's identity, the crown prince Shaobao, the governor of Caoyun, can he be brought down just by relying on trumped-up charges, since he dares to do this, it means that the person behind it must not be simple.
It is impossible for the Xu Fo family to frame Zheng Xunrui, no matter what kind of humiliation she suffers, and whether she loses her life or not, she will not pour sewage on Zheng Xunrui.
It was at this moment that the Xu Fojia suddenly became strong.
She slowly looked up and spoke to the warden with a sneer.
"Master, the slave family did not collude with the liukou, the slave family did not know Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the slave family is the shopkeeper of Shengze's homecoming courtyard, and it has always been a rule, if the master does not believe it, you can go to investigate, and there is no one behind the slave family."
The warden's face instantly turned blue, he rarely came forward to interrogate the prisoner in person, but as long as he came forward, there was no one who didn't speak, Xu Fojia was just a Qinglou woman in Qinhuaihe, someone used to hold it, and she thought she was sorry, and she couldn't look down on him as a warden at all, but now the situation is different, Xu Fojia is a prisoner in Shangyuan County, and a prisoner with a felony, he is so arrogant, if he doesn't rectify it ruthlessly, then he can pay it back.
"Come on, take off all the clothes of Xu Fo's family......"
The two jailers had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and with a lewd smile on their faces, they set up the Xu Fo family, whose body was already paralyzed, and was ready to make a move.
It was at this time that a jailer suddenly entered the cell.
"Lord Xiancheng is here."
The warden was stunned for a moment, he accepted the order of the county magistrate and came to interrogate the Xu Fo's family, what did the county Cheng do at this time, but the county lord was not something that he, the warden, could offend.
Waving at the two jailers who were about to make a move, signaling not to do it for the time being, the warden walked out to greet the county lord. (To be continued.) )
