Di Renjie and Sun Yicheng came out together, and he bowed his hand to Shen Mengxi to thank him. The ointment given by the princess had a remarkable effect, and the herbs brought by Sun Yicheng calmed down my heart. This time, he did not shirk and shared a carriage with Sun Yicheng, which was covered with thick cushions and was much more comfortable.

There was an autumn rain, the road surface was wet, no longer dusty, and the air was moist and fresh. Shen Mengxi added a piece of clothing to the children.

The Qian family also followed, followed, walked for an hour, passed by a hillside, the children got out of the car to see the red leaves, the two sons of the Qian Shikang family would climb the tree, go up to pick the red leaves and give them to Jian'er and a few people, and also sent a few branches to Shen Mengxi.

When he got into the car again, the boys mixed together, and Shen Mengxi didn't care, waving his hand at Qian Shikang, who was hesitant.

At noon, we arrived at a city, the city gate was written with the simple word Xincheng, the city gate was old, there were soldiers guarding it, checked their road guides, respectfully saluted and let them go.

Shen Mengxi planned to stay here for two days, first, Di Renjie's injury was best to recuperate, and second, Sun Yicheng also planned to buy more medicine here. There were already guards in front of them to explore the way, and they chartered several inns in a row.

The huge motorcade attracted the attention of the people on the street, and everyone stood on the side of the street to watch and whisper.

Suddenly, there was a cry at the corner of the street, and people turned their heads to look.

I saw a woman rushing over, pushing everyone away, kneeling in front of the carriage with a plop, raising her head and shouting, "Lord Qingtian, help!" Lord Qingtian, help! ”

The woman knelt down, completely disregarding life and death, just to stop the carriage.

The coachman shouted, "Pilot!" He pulled the reins again and made the horse turn half a circle to the left, this time stopping the carriage. Shen Mengxi's mother and daughter shook in the car for a few moments, and the breeze brushed the curtains.

I saw a group of men behind the woman, who hurried to catch up, dragged her back, and nodded and said, "Crazy devil, crazy devil, don't be surprised!" ”

There was also a four- or five-year-old boy who staggered, pulling people to cry: "Don't arrest my aunt, don't sink in the pond!" ”

The woman shouted miserably, like the neighing of an animal before dying, Shen Mengxi couldn't help but look out, the woman was dressed in cloth, her eyes were full of despair, she stretched out a hand at her, and just shouted "Help!" He was gagged and dragged away.

Shen Mengxi felt compassion and gestured to Commander Lu.

"Wait!" Commander Lu gave a breathless and majestic shout, causing everyone to be immobilized under the spell. The woman took the opportunity to pounce in front of the car and knelt down, and said loudly: "Li Suniang, a woman, there is a grievance to report!" The women's family lives in the city's Fushui Street, the husband Zhou Wencai was born in Xiucai, died of tuberculosis three years ago, the woman with her son, relying on the thirty acres of land outside the city left by the husband to live, this year, the woman's abdominal pain, getting bigger and bigger, has been half a year, I have seen Langzhong, said that it was a tumor in the abdomen, took two months of decoction, not to shrink, but no longer to increase. The family members of the partial husband said that I did not abide by women's morals, and I was pregnant with adultery with others, and I also asked a man to check my pulse, saying that I was pregnant for five or six months! Elegant! The woman has given birth to a child, and now the woman has a hard abdomen, no fetal movement, and there is still a monthly letter, and there should be a sarcoma in the abdomen! But the patriarch deceived me that there was no one in my mother's family, and found witnesses to prove that I had committed adultery with the merchant, and I had to sink the woman into the pond immediately, and the woman said that since it was said to be a fetus, why not wait for the child to be born in three months, and they did not listen to the argument, and could not help but say, this is to take away my twenty acres of fertile land, and then blame the people! ”

The woman wept, but her words were clear and coherent. Shen Mengxi listened to it and understood that this woman was very likely to have uterine fibroids or ovarian cysts, and she had grown relatively large.

A few people knelt down among the clansmen, and said neither softly nor hardly: "The pickled affairs of the Zhou family were publicized by this slut, which really lost the face of the ancestors and polluted the ears of the nobles. This matter was originally a trivial matter in the clan, and the county magistrate also knew about it, and explicitly ordered the clan to execute itself. ”

At this time, regardless of the family gate, even those small families, the power of the patriarch cannot be underestimated, and he can directly decide the life and death of the members of the clan without going through the official list. Normally, the government is not involved in the internal affairs of the family.

At this time, the horse's hooves were obtained, a horse galloped over, and a person wearing a light green official uniform dismounted and saluted Shen Mengxi's carriage, "Xiaguan Zheng Zhilin, welcome late!" Please forgive your sins! ”

Princess Taiping entered Xincheng with a large number of guards, and the guards at the city gate cleverly took a shortcut and ran to report to him, saying that there were nobles from Luoyang entering the city, more than ten cars, and hundreds of followers. Shocked that the tea cup in his hand fell, he hurriedly changed his clothes and rushed to greet him, and saw the team stop from a distance, and there was a cry, and he couldn't help but secretly cry.

Zheng Xianling looked at the chaos on the street, and suddenly his head was as big as a fight, and he turned to the person in charge of the clan and shouted: "Don't leave quickly!" Disturbing the nobles, can you afford it? ”

The steward said yes, and with a wave of his hand, several clansmen rushed up to grab Li Suniang.

That Li Suniang was desperate, and suddenly screamed, "Oh my God! Out of nowhere, he took out a pair of scissors, aimed them at his abdomen, and stared at the steward of the clan with red eyes, looking like crazy, "Since they all say that I, Li Suniang, am pregnant with a child, then I will open this belly today!" Let the world see that it is a child in the end! Or sarcoma! ”

"Stop!" Shen Mengxi was so anxious that he stood up and shouted.

It was too late, it was too soon, and in the child's frightened cry, Li Suniang had already stabbed herself in the abdomen with scissors, her eyes glared at the steward, and then looked at Zheng County's order, looked at the carriage, smiled sadly, and slashed the scissors downward.

Yu'er and Shen Mengxi were in the same carriage, and when they saw this scene, they cried out in fright. Although Lu'er didn't see anything, her sister cried and started crying too. Shen Mengxi didn't have time to take care of them, so he gave orders to Commander Lu.

A large pool of blood, not completely soaked into the soil, meandered and flowed in the dust.

Li Suniang's abdomen continued to bleed, but she was unable to continue to cut her abdomen, and wanted to continue to pull the scissors down, but she only pulled out the scissors, and the blood spurted out, and gurgled out again, she trembled her hands in despair, and the scissors fell to the ground. She no longer shouted grievances, no longer screamed, but looked at her son with two small hands open and crying in fear with infinite sadness, and her lips moved.

Two Zhou clansmen stepped forward and grabbed Li Suniang's arm and dragged her away, marking a line of blood on the ground. The surrounding people let out a cry of surprise and dodged a way.

But seeing the four guards step forward, the two restrained the dragging Zhou clansmen, the two carried a stretcher, put it on the ground, quickly lifted Li Suniang to the stretcher, grabbed a common person to lead the way, and quickly ran to the front medical hall.

The onlookers and the Zhou clan were stunned, and Commander Lu leaned over to get the boy who was still crying on his horse, and with a shout, the convoy moved forward quickly.

There is neither explanation nor explanation.
