66 Cut off children and grandchildren
What the ugly girl said doesn't match the preamble, no one can understand it at all, even Lu Zhi, who has watched countless bloody TV series, is confused at this time, who is here? What brand? What are you talking about?
The only people who could understand in the field were Zhao Gongzi, and a few concubines who had just gotten off the carriage, and this ugly girl was shared by them.
During the day, the ugly girl was in the backyard, and when she saw Zhao Gongzi, she said, "Here, he's here." The concubines closed the door in time according to this signal.
At night, Zhao Gongzi sometimes comes back with "friends", and the ugly girl is responsible for taking a tray, and there are signs marked with numbers in the tray, and Zhao Gongzi's "friends" will rest in which room they turn over.
For example, if you turn to the sign that says three, it represents the third room, and the signs in the tray correspond to the signs hanging in front of the concubines' rooms, referring to Zhao Gongzi's third room concubines, of course, you can also turn more, and the number of people is not limited.
In fact, it's not complicated, that is, Zhao Gongzi gave his concubine to them to play with in order to tie up with those "sons".
At first, it was to feed them medicine, which made them confused, and after a few times, the concubines also resigned themselves to their fate, just like the girl who was sold to the building.
This is also the reason why Zhao Gongzi did not dare to have children, because he didn't know who the child was.
The ugly girl said something crazy, and some of them were well-informed or active, and they could already guess the truth.
Those concubines remained silent at first, but at this time it didn't matter, you began to tell a word, and a lot of inside stories were exposed, as if things happened to others, and there was no trace of embarrassment.
They first proved the fact of the medicine, and the two old mothers saw that they couldn't continue to make up nonsense, and they trembled and confessed that the drugs were all in the nutritional soup, and every time there was a new concubine, the two of them would send the soup on the grounds of malnutrition.
But everyone's physique is different, and the medicine cannot be always given, so accidental pregnancy occasionally occurs, and at this time, the pregnant concubine will be forcibly knocked off the placenta, which also leads to the loss of fertility for most concubines.
For a long time, there was no sound in the yamen.
"I admit to killing, and I admit to arson, but what's wrong with that?"
"They are concubines, what are concubines? It's a plaything, and since it's a plaything, what does it matter who plays it? Don't want to play as much as you want? β
Zhao Gongzi has already broken the jar, he doesn't care about anything, and saying these words is not to exonerate himself, this is what he really thinks.
Lu Zhi really wanted to rush up and slap him with a big mouth, but he was stopped by Lu Ren, who shook his head at him, "What did he say...... That's right. β
Lu Zhi opened his mouth and couldn't say anything to refute it, those concubines were really pitiful, but in Yue Kingdom, what Zhao Gongzi said was really not too much of a problem.
Concubines have no status, and the matter of sending concubines to each other happens from time to time, especially in the circle of scholars and officials, they are really like playthings.
"Big brother, put him in prison." Lu Zhi was in a hurry to carry out the second step, he didn't plan to let Zhao Gongzi survive tonight.
"Hmm." Lu Ren was about to speak, and the ugly girl had another attack, "You can't turn the fourteenth brand, and you will never be able to turn it, hahaha, because there is no one at all, the brand was thrown away, and it was ...... by the three-room, four-room, and ten-room They threw it. β
After hearing this, Zhao Gongzi was like being struck by lightning, and for a while he seemed to have lost his soul, "There is no No. 14 brand, no?" Not really? β
The fourteenth concubine suddenly woke up, and pointed at Zhao Gongzi while laughing, "It's so stupid, I used to be so stupid, it turns out that my sisters have always protected me, I actually believe that you, a scumbag, will change for the better, hahaha." β
"I'm sorry, you hungry wolf in human skin, you have no humanity, and you have lost your conscience!" She spat on Zhao Gongzi's face, but Zhao Gongzi didn't react, he was still distracted.
The fourteenth concubine is the youngest of these concubines, and she was sold into the Zhao family, and the whole process is quite gentle.
Zhao Gongzi gave his brother who sold oil a few dollars, and then carried her into Zhao's house, and since then, she has never seen her brother again.
is young, and has not suffered too many setbacks, has a naΓ―ve personality, and is even a little arrogant and silly.
The other concubines regarded her as a sister and Bai Yueguang in their hearts, and they didn't want her to despair of life, they all hid it from her, protected him, and didn't want her to come into contact with those cruel facts.
"Ah~~~"
The anger accumulated in the bottom of her heart had nowhere to be released, and the fourteenth concubine pounced on Zhao Gongzi, scratching and scratching, and finally wanted to bite Zhao Gongzi to death in the court.
Wang Daring actually didn't want to pull, but he was afraid that Zhao Gongzi would fight back, this woman in white was too weak, and she had already tried her best to live, if she was hit twice by Zhao Gongzi, maybe she would have to explain.
"Cowardice, really cowardice, look at it, such a weak woman dares to hit Zhao Gongzi twice, what about you? I didn't dare to come out to testify. The king boldly rebuked the onlookers a few times, and then stood aside and sulked.
In fact, the words of these concubines have aroused the courage of some people, but the arrival of one person has made these courages dissipate without a trace.
It's Zhao Xiong.
He begged to see the city lord to no avail, and went to ask other high-ranking officials who were familiar with him, but the result was the same, the gate was closed, and he refused to see guests, so he had no choice but to come to the yamen to see.
Zhao Gongzi's face was like a blood gourd, but he was still sluggish, and in the face of the concubine's venting, he did not resist at all, he thought, did his kick kick the last incense of the Zhao family kick away, the old mother said, the child has been formed, it is a boy.
"I was wrong, I was really wrong, hahaha, it's really retribution, God is fair, this is to make my Zhao family cut off children and grandchildren!" Zhao Gongzi's face was dripping blood, and his heart was also dripping blood.
Hearing Zhao Gongzi admit his mistake, Zhao Xiong was extremely excited, "Did you hear that?" Do you hear that? He knows that he is wrong, he already knows that he is wrong, so can't you give him a chance, a chance to mend his ways? β
Lu Zhi pursed his lips, "It's useful to admit mistakes, what else do you want the yamen to do?" β
Lu Ren waved his hand, "The prisoner has already pleaded guilty, come, put him in prison and announce the verdict on a later date!" β
Wang Daring took the initiative to take over the task, and personally led people to escort Zhao Gongzi to the prison, he was followed by some arrests, Zhao Xiong attacked several times, and wanted to get close to Zhao Gongzi, but he was stopped back.
In desperation, Zhao Xiong decided to go home and plan, he was already a lot sober, the verdict had not yet been pronounced, there was still time, and things had not yet reached the point where they were completely out of control.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The main hall of the Yamen.
The others had already retreated, and Lu Ren leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath.
"Fourth, do you say that there are many people like Zhao Gongzi in Xuanwu City? Who is Zhao Gongzi's friend? Will there be Sun Gongzi and Li Gongzi? β
Lu Zhi was silent, there must be more than thousands of "Zhao Gongzi" in Xuanwu City, but smart people won't care about these things, because it will cause big trouble, big trouble.
Lu Ren smiled self-deprecatingly, "You must be thinking, smart people know how to advance and retreat, and it must end here, but you also know that I, Lu Ren, have never been smart people." β
