Chapter 11: Arrest

Sister-in-law Zhang didn't listen to any explanation, so she ordered two strong men to take Xia Yue out of the restaurant.

Xia Yue has been on the road for half a day today, doing half a day's work, her body is already tired, and after this toss, her body is now very weak and can only be at the mercy of others.

When passing by the counter, the female shopkeeper hurriedly came out and grabbed one of the guys and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

The guy replied, "Shopkeeper, Sister-in-law Zhang ordered us to blast her out." ”

"Why hasn't anyone asked me about this?" The female shopkeeper said suspiciously.

"Shopkeeper, you can go in and see Sister-in-law Zhang." The guy who answered said embarrassedly.

"Okay, you put people here for me first, and then I'll talk about it when I come out!" The shopkeeper said, pointing to an empty table.

The two guys temporarily helped Xia Yue to the chair and sat down to rest.

The female shopkeeper walked to the kitchen and was startled, Sister-in-law Zhang was shirtless, with a short gown in her hand, and several young girls were helping her wipe the skirt on her body, the bandeau dress looked wet and there was a disgusting vomit on the ground.

Before she could speak, Sister-in-law Zhang shouted angrily: "Drive that dead girl away for me!" ”

The female shopkeeper covered her mouth with one hand, and kept waving her other hand in the air and said, "Okay, don't worry." ”

He turned around and ran to the antechamber.

Xia Yue in the front hall held her waist with one hand and sat weakly.

The female shopkeeper came to Xia Yue, her palms were naturally bent upward, and she patted each other and said, "Girl, don't blame me for being ruthless!" It's really ...... You, how can you offend Sister-in-law Zhang? The business of our shop depends on Sister-in-law Zhang's cooking skills, and I have to provide for her. Tell me about you, you offended her, can I still keep you? ”

Xia Yue stood up weakly and said, "But I ......"

"What else is there to explain? Okay, okay, don't say more, save some time to find yourself a place to live! Before Xia Yue could finish speaking, she was interrupted impatiently by the female shopkeeper.

Xia Yue saw that there was no room for maneuver, so she no longer forced this matter, and said: "Shopkeeper, I am penniless, I have worked hard for half a day today, there is no merit and hard work, you give me some wages, and I can go out and find a place to live." ”

"Money? You're embarrassed to ask me for wages, and I haven't let you pay for the green onions you spoiled! The female shopkeeper said harshly.

The female shopkeeper lost her enthusiasm for Xia Yue when she first met, and turned to a bitter and ugly face.

Xia Yue begged: "Shopkeeper, you can do well, lend me some silver, and when I make money, I will send it to you." ”

The female shopkeeper said mockingly: "Hmph! Borrow? Why should I believe your wild girl! ”

Xia Yue refused to give up, still had illusions about her, and said, "The shopkeeper begs you......"

The female shopkeeper said in disgust: "It's useless to say anything! Let's go! Knock her out for me! ”

The two strong men standing next to him dragged people out with Xia Yue's arms.

Xia Yue has never suffered such humiliation since she was a child, since the other party refuses to help, why should she beg hard again, it is boring to ask for herself.

She dragged her weak body down the main road.

In this bustling city, she has never felt so lonely and hopeless.

If this is a crossing, why can't she have her own identity in this world as written in the novel, whether good or bad, she will never be as lonely as her.

She thought of her family, friends, classmates, and even the monks on the mountain from another world.

She took out the jade pendant that the monk had given her, hesitating whether to pawn it?

In the end, she still put away the jade pendant, this jade pendant is her future reliance in Nanyang, compared with today's difficulties, she can still distinguish which is more important.

Xia Yue saw a three-dimensional light box signboard on the side of the road, which read "Sun Jia Zheng Store", which is a large restaurant. There were two lanterns hanging under the eaves on the left and right sides of the door, and the brightly lit restaurant was full of friends, and she was ready to try her luck here.

was about to enter the door, but was stopped by the guy at the door: "What are you doing?" This is not a place where you can spend! ”

She turned around and smiled bitterly: "There are people who look down on people with dog eyes...... everywhere"

Xia Yue walked disheartened, she didn't plan to pin her hopes on strangers anymore.

"Where you spend money, you have to look at people's faces, and where you don't spend money, no one cares, right?" Xia Yue said to herself.

She turned into a not-so-lively alley and sat down on the porch at the door.

After some time, the lights in the city gradually dimmed, and she shrank into the corner, curled up and fell into a deep sleep.

"Somebody there!"

Xia Yue suddenly woke up from her sleep.

She rubbed her blurred eyes and looked closely in the dim light, where there stood a line of soldiers in armor on the side of the road, looking like twenty or thirty people.

"Somebody there!" There was another loud question.

Xia Yue slowly stood up with her hands on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "I...... The first day I came to the city, I couldn't find a place to stay, so I sat here. ”

The soldier who took the lead deliberately held up the lantern in his hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "Someone, tie her up and bring her back!" ”

"Why did you arrest me?" Xia Yue said in a panic.

The other party said confidently: "From five o'clock in the morning, pedestrians are prohibited in the market, and violators will be arrested for 'committing a night'!" ”

Xia Yue was not allowed to argue, and the two soldiers came up and tied her hands.

"The two of you will escort her back to the cell first, and then ascend to the court tomorrow at noon, and ask Lord Wang to decide." The soldier who took the lead said to the other two soldiers.

"Yes." The two hurriedly hugged their right hand with their left hand and bowed forward in salute.

The two soldiers led Xia Yue to the mouth of the alley, stopped in front of the locked fence, one held the rope that bound her, and the other took out a bunch of keys, found the corresponding key by the faint light to open the lock, then pushed the door open, and when they passed, closed the door and locked it.

At this time, Xia Yue realized that the fences that were open during the day were now locked.

They repeatedly opened the switch and closed the fence more than a dozen times all the way before they reached the yamen.

After entering the gate of the yamen, I passed through the long corridor and came to a large iron gate, which was heavily guarded. Pushing open the door, there was a huge word "prison" written on the wall, and then through the dark and narrow passageway, I came to a small door, and inside there was a jailer.

"What has happened to this girl?" The jailer asked.

One of the soldiers escorting Xia Yue replied: "Prisoner of the night, detained pending trial." ”

"Tut-tut, it's inevitable that it's another board." The jailer looked at Xia Yue and said.

Another soldier escorting Xia Yue writes on the table, and the handover is completed after the jailer checks and confirms.

Xia Yue was put in a cell by the jailer inside.
