Seeing this, Mrs. Bai continued: "Heming, it's not that my aunt said you, you can do such a big thing as breaking into the cell at night, don't blame your aunt for not being able to protect you this time, your uncle, as the official of Luo'an's parents, has always been honest and honest, and he can't ruin his reputation for you." ”

Anyway, the people only know that their daughter was robbed, and the official messenger found Ying Ying from the Xu Mansion, even if the outside world knows that Ying Ying is with her cousin, and with this blood relationship, people will not think so dirty. If you know that your daughter has fallen into the hands of others, you can't avoid random speculation, and your daughter's reputation will not be saved.

When Bai Yingying heard this, she stopped crying and looked at her mother, and soon understood that her mother said this in order to save her reputation. immediately followed her mother's words and accused Xu Heming: "Cousin, you are too despicable to do this, and you have played some indiscriminate means." It's a shame that my mother hurts you, and you actually join outsiders to go into the prison cell and harm people. If the female prisoner really died in prison, how could my father explain to the family of the deceased, and the people would know about it, wouldn't it mean that my father's cell was in disregard for human life? is known by the imperial court, my father's black gauze hat may not be able to keep it, you usually hang your son and forget it, how can you not even understand such a simple truth! ”

Although she has always disliked her cousin, she is always a relative, and it is not obvious that she does not show it. Now she was almost innocent by Xu Shikun, a bastard, and her cousin is so close to this kind of person, it can be seen that the two of them are the same dog, and now in order to protect her reputation, she simply took the opportunity to count him.

Bai Wangyuan also had a blue face, and his wife was used to him on weekdays, so he just opened his eyes and closed his eyes to endure it. But now that he almost ruined his daughter's reputation, he will never spare him this time.

"Heming, my uncle is in his position, and if you break into the cell at night, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. Don't blame your uncle, if you want to blame, blame you for making friends carelessly, uncle hopes that you have learned this lesson and sincerely repent in the future. ”

After speaking, he glanced at him without raising his eyelids, and ordered Li Zhukuai: "Xu Shikun broke into the cell at night, robbed the daughter of the official, put him in prison, and beheaded him at noon tomorrow to show the public." Xu Heming rescued the daughter of the official, although the merit was not worth it, but the punishment could be appropriately reduced, and the cane was killed with fifty boards. ”

After hearing this, Xu Shikun's face darkened with fright, "My lord, I didn't rob Ling Qianjin, and I don't know how she appeared in my bed......"

"Bold! When death is on the verge of death, I still want to tarnish the reputation of the young lady, come and plug his mouth and execute him immediately! ”

"Your Excellency...... Cousin....... Hmmmm......mmmm" Before Xu Shikun could scream, his mouth was quickly covered by the official, his eyes widened in horror, and he stubbornly resisted with indiscriminate punches and kicks, and was soon dragged away by the official.

Xu Heming froze in place, and his cousin was gone? There was a palpitation in his heart, and the two officials grabbed his arm one left and one right, and then he suddenly came back to his senses, "Auntie, you save me, fifty boards go down, if you don't die, you will have half my life, aunt." ”

Mrs. Bai was ruthless, but she didn't hear about her daughter, and the official immediately moved a stool, put Xu Heming on the bench and began to carry out the order.

Xu He screamed in pain, one after another, he silently turned the pain on his body into hatred, and settled the account on Du Lan's head, if it wasn't for dealing with her, his cousin would not have taken his life, he wrote down this account.

Busy said to Bai Wangyuan: "Master, you hurry up and close this case, and by the way, it was announced to the public that the two of them broke into the cell at night and tried to harm the female criminal, and after her daughter found out, Xu Heming was worried that her daughter would sue her, so he took her away." In short, you have to find a way to clarify your daughter's innocence. ”

"There is no need for a retrial of this case, and the female prisoner will be released directly!" Bai Wangyuan waved his arm impatiently.

"No, she can't let it go!" Xu Heming couldn't care about the pain, and immediately blurted out.

"So many guys in the winery have witnessed the scene of Xu Shikun slighting her, who is right and wrong, don't you know in your hearts?" Bai Wangyuan snorted and walked towards the house with his arms behind his back.

Mrs. Bai knew that her nephew was not happy, and after finishing the fifty boards, she stepped forward with a distressed look, "Alas, you can have a long memory in the future, such a big person, don't be so reckless and impulsive, learn from your eldest brother." ”

After speaking, she leaned over and put her arm on his arm, but she couldn't see it, and gave Xu Heming a cruel look, she whispered: "To deal with a country girl, we have more methods, not bad for a moment." ”

Xu Heming nodded and silently wrote it down in his heart.

After that, Mrs. Bai helped her daughter to leave, and Xu Heming was also carried away by the official.

After dawn, Li Zhu quickly went directly to the cell to release Duran, and the official media wife went together.

After Li Zhu went in, he opened the door of the cell and said lukewarmly to the weak Duran inside: "You can go!" ”

Duran was in pain, and when he heard this, he stood up slowly, and walked out cautiously, and the official media woman hurriedly stepped forward to support her and apologized: "I wronged you, I'm really sorry for my old body, come, I'll send you out." ”

Duran glanced at her, if she hadn't abused the lynching, she wouldn't have been covered in injuries, and she was to blame.

The official media wife was full of apologies, and kept out of the cell, and when she was almost far away from Li Zhu, she asked Gu Youan's news with excitement: "How is my master all these years?" ”

"Not good!"

The official media mother-in-law stiffened, "What? ”

"What, how? He can't even plant a field in the countryside, so what can he do to live a good life. Every step Du Lan took, he felt the pain of tearing flesh and skin, and he was in a good mood to take care of her, "Where is like you, covering the sky with one hand in the prison cell, regardless of whether it is indiscriminate, directly ruining people's innocence, and even disregarding people's lives." ”

The official media woman's face was embarrassed, and her eyes didn't dare to look directly at Duran, she sighed, and said faintly: "The old man used to be in the house, and he has always disciplined etiquette and rules, and the most hated thing is that women commit adultery, so he is more serious about the women who have entered the cell......

Du Lan no longer pays attention to her, although she pays attention to women's honors, but she can't be good or bad, isn't it that she has been in the county government for a long time and has become black-hearted.

Duran's inquiring gaze made the official matchmaker's face hot, and she knew in her heart that there were more than one or two female prisoners tortured to death by her in the cell, and if she hadn't learned Duran's identity, it was very likely that the next one to die in her hands would be Duran.

It's really ashamed to say that I hurt my master's lady unknowingly.

The official media woman was helping Du Lan to walk out of the yamen, Du Lan suddenly stopped, she said to the official media woman: "I can't just leave, you go to the adult, ask him to write a notice and stick it outside the yamen, declaring that I am not guilty, otherwise I will not leave easily." ”

"This ......" The official media woman hesitated, although Bai Wangyuan was in a bad mood, but this could prove his wife's innocence.

She nodded and left quickly, Duran struggled to hold on to the wall, and after about a quarter of an hour, the official media woman returned and said to Duran: "My lord agreed." ”

Du Lan glanced at her appreciatively, no wonder she could eat in the yamen, and she was so neat in her work, and the official media sent her out of the yamen. Xue Yan's carriage was waiting outside the door, and when they saw her come out, Xue Yan and Gu Youan hurried forward a few steps.

Seeing the official media's wife supporting Du Lan, Gu You'an's face was shocked: "Lady, did they torture you?" ”

Duran was unhappy, since the official media wife was a servant of his family, he didn't say that the official media wife did something to her.

When the official media wife saw Gu Youan, she didn't think about it for a long time, but stared at Gu Youan with straight eyes, and her face looked very excited.

However, her mind was very calm, and in order to avoid revealing the identity of her master, she forced herself to look away.

"Mrs. Gu, you have offended a lot of people this time, and I hope to be more careful in the future."

Du Lan looked at her suspiciously, but did not see her and Gu Youan recognize each other, and Gu Youan was also very strange, why did this mother-in-law care about her mother-in-law and what happened in prison.

He gently helped Du Lan into the carriage, Du Lan was not happy to see him, but kept his face stiff, Xue Yan drove the carriage, he said ashamedly: "Are the people in the cell embarrassing you?" Brother Xu and I tried a lot of ways, but we couldn't get into the cell to visit you. In the end, it was Brother Xue who came up with a way to rescue you. ”

Duran shook her head, she felt extremely tired in the past few days, and with the torture of physical pain, she had hardly slept well. Hearing Gu Youan say that she wanted so many people to find a way to save herself, her heart flowed like warmth, her tense nerves relaxed, and she closed her eyes weakly.

Gu Youan looked at her quietly, only to see that her eyes were blue, her cheeks seemed to be thin, her eyes moved down, and when she saw the bruises on the back of her hand, her heart twitched violently, as if she was tightly tied up by a rope. She must have suffered a lot in prison.

He stretched out his hand in distress and gently took her who was sleeping lightly in his arms, and when he touched it, Duran couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"Shhh She opened her eyes and pushed Gu Youan out, "You stay away from me." ”

Gu You'an's body froze, "It's all because of your husband's incompetence, you have been wronged in prison, I will definitely redouble my efforts in the future and never let similar things happen again." ”

Seeing his self-reproach, Duran laughed softly, "Fool, I don't blame you, it's just that on a hot day, although the prison is shady, I still can't help but sweat a little." I'm afraid that my body stinks and smokes you

So it was, Gu Youan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, hugged her gently again, and doted: "You are a fool, how can a husband dislike his wife." ”

Du Lan's brows furrowed again, Gu Youan hurriedly let go of his hand, only letting her lean on his shoulder, he said angrily, "Lord County Cheng did not go to court for arraignment, obviously shielding Xu Heming, this dog official, faint official." ”

"Xu Heming is not much better this time, and if he doesn't die, he will lose half his life." Seeing Gu You'an's anger, Duran comforted him softly.

"Hate me for being incompetent, otherwise I will personally beat Xu Heming to relieve your anger." Gu You'an's chest rose and fell, Duran's flesh ached faintly, and his brows furrowed together.

Seeing this, Gu Youan hurriedly shouted to the outside world: "Brother Xue, you can show Du Lan, I think she is not lightly injured." ”

"Pilot!" Xue Yan hurriedly shouted, pulled the reins, and the horse neighed, and immediately stopped.
