Chapter Seventy-Nine: Abuse of Lynching
"Am I saying late now? If I hadn't seen your thoughts, I'd have waited to ask my mother's family before telling you. ”
The county man stepped forward to pinch his wife's shoulder and beat his leg with a flattering face, but he was proud in his heart, saying this, he knew it quite early now.
Xue Yan drove the carriage over, and the two jumped out of the carriage and stepped forward to ask the person guarding the door: "This brother, we have urgent matters to ask to see your lordship, please let me know." ”
The guard pushed impatiently: "Go, go, go!" This is the county government, how can you be allowed to come in and out at will! ”
"We are here for today's case." Gu Youan bowed respectfully.
"No one will be allowed to enter without the communication of adults!" The guards slammed down with expressionless faces.
Xu Baoqing, who was next to the carriage outside the door, recognized them at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold the two: "Xue Gongzi, Gu Gongzi, my eldest son is inquiring about the situation inside, two of you and wait patiently." ”
As he was talking, Xu Hening walked out of the county office, and the guards immediately stepped forward to greet him with a smile on his face: "Master Xu, are you leaving?" ”
"I'm tired." Xu Hening nodded politely, gave the guard a little meaning, and stepped out.
The guards got the benefit, smiled even more, and chased after them like pugs: "You go slowly!" ”
Gu Youan hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously: "Brother Xu, how is Du Lan?" Why don't you see the trial? ”
Xue Yan also had a serious face, waiting for the news brought by Xu Hening.
"Brother Xue Yan, Brother Gu, let's go back and talk about it."
"But Duran is inside...... "Gu Youan was anxious at the yamen, the lady was inside, he didn't even go in and left?"
Xue Yan persuaded: "Let's go, let's go back." ”
Several people quickly came to Wuwei Zhai, entered the private room, and waited for the second little man to enter the tea, and Xu Hening ordered the housekeeper to close the door.
"Brother Xu, what's wrong with my wife?" Gu Youan asked anxiously.
Xue Yan also looked at him closely from the side.
"I met the county lord and explained his intentions, but the county lord rejected me, which shows that he doesn't want to let him go easily."
"What!" Gu Youan frowned, "He will hear the case clearly, won't my wife be released?" ”
"Brother You'an, don't be impatient, I specially asked the county daughter's daughter to go to the cell to take care of it, I believe that Duran will not be in danger."
"The county's daughter?" Xue Yan glanced at Xu Hening suspiciously, only to see him smile awkwardly, and soon understood.
Beautiful men's plan, Xu Gongzi really has nothing to do.
Gu Youan was concerned about Duran's safety, he really couldn't understand why the county didn't try it publicly, could it be that Xu Heming was doing something behind his back.
"Brother Xu, are you helpless? Xu Heming is your younger brother. He wrinkled his brow in pain.
"You'an, my brother has always been unruly, and he doesn't listen to my words, alas!" Xu Hening's face was full of apologies.
Gu Youan knew that Xu Hening couldn't be blamed for this, but in the end they were brothers, and his wife was framed by his younger brother, so he felt that Xu Hening had a responsibility that he couldn't shirk.
Xue Yan looked at Xu Hening deeply, "Brother Hening, I'm afraid that Mrs. Cheng of the county is unwilling to release people, right?" ”
Xu Hening was stunned when he heard this, his family couldn't hide from Xue Yan, so he said frankly: "I think it's the same, but it's ......."
Xu Hening hesitated for a moment before continuing: "I revealed the relationship between You'an and Sheng Jing to Lord Xiancheng, presumably he will have some scruples. ”
"What? You! Xue Yan was slightly annoyed, how could Gu Youan's identity be exposed, he knew that Xu Hening was smart, and he could observe some clues from his concern for Gu Youan, but how could he leak it out on his own initiative for such a big matter.
"Brother Xue Yan, don't worry, I vaguely guessed it, and I don't know the specific truth, so I shouldn't cause trouble." Xu Hening hurriedly explained.
Gu Youan raised his eyes to look at Xue Yan, his eyes flashed with anger, even Xu Hening could see it, but he kept it a secret from himself.
Xue Yan was worried that Gu Youan was excited, so he hurriedly comforted him: "Now is not the time to ask this, it is important to find a way to rescue Duran now." ”
"I'm going to save Duran now!" He stood up angrily and turned to go out.
"Stop! Aren't you going to cause trouble? Xue Yan let out a low sigh.
Xu Hening also hurriedly stopped: "The yamen can't break in, we still need to think about it in the long run." ”
"I can't wait, Duran is dangerous alone in a cell, I have to find a way to save her as soon as possible."
"yes, we're going to figure it out, so you calm down first." Xue Yan persuaded again.
"I ...... How can I be still. Gu Youan fell back into his chair, and a powerless frustration filled his entire heart.
Xu Hening also echoed on the side: "Brother Xue Yan is right, let's calm down first, and wait for the news of the county's daughter to be sent, and then we will make plans." ”
"However, where is the cell where a woman can stay, it will be dark in two or three hours." Gu You'an was so anxious that he couldn't sit still.
Xue Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said with a solemn face: "If I go to visit the cell at night, I will definitely be able to find Duran." You must not mess up, let alone break into the county government, understand? ”
"Can you do it?" Gu Youan couldn't believe it.
Xue Yan smiled lightly: "The cell of the little county ya, where can it be difficult for me, rest assured." ”
Xu Hening also stood up, "I'll wait for Bai Yingying's news, and once I receive it, I will notify Brother Xue Yan immediately." ”
Xue Yan looked at Xu Hening cautiously, as if he wanted to see through his whole person, Xu Hening accepted his scrutiny frankly, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Xue Yan and I have known each other for many years, can't you believe me?" ”
"No, I have something to ask you."
"Please." Seeing Xue Yan's serious expression, Xu Hening didn't dare to be careless.
"You go and tell Jingting and ask him to send a letter to Sheng Jing immediately, if something really happens, we can be prepared."
"Okay."
Hearing this, Gu Youan's heart suddenly twitched, could it be that the Sheng Jing that Xue Yan said was his parents?
Seeing that Gu Youan's expression was different, Xue Yan patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't think too much, just wait for the news with peace of mind." I believe that with Brother Hening's character, the county's daughter will definitely help. As for the matter over there in Shengjing, I will naturally tell you when the time comes. ”
"Hmm." Gu Youan realized the seriousness of the matter, so he nodded.
Xu Hening smiled awkwardly, "It's good if I can help you." ”
Next, there is only a long wait.
On the other side of the cell, Duran was hanging in the air, and the official media woman viciously raised the bamboo piece in her hand and slapped Duran on him. Duran gritted her silver teeth and held on silently, the more she was tougher, the more she angered the official matchmaker, and the more fierce she became.
"Cheap bones, look at you if you are honest, see if you dare to fight back, in my hands, if you don't die, you will have half your life!"
The official media woman was extremely vicious, and the bamboo pieces hit Du Lan's body one after another, up and down, she was almost bruised all over her body by the bamboo chips, and even beaten many times, and it had become bloody.
"Dead old woman...... If you have the ability, you can kill me, just let me out...... I promise to come back and take your dog's life! Duran craned his neck with difficulty, fearlessly confronting her.
"Okay, you, I can't beat you!" The official media woman was enraged, and the force in her hand increased a few points, and she slapped Duran one after another, so painful that she almost fainted.
If it weren't for her strong willpower, how could she withstand such a beating.
Outside the cell, Bai Yingying persuaded the jailer to open the cell door and walked in, the cell was dimly lit, in strong contrast with the brightness outside, she was not comfortable, and immediately opened her eyes wide, and then a foul smell came to her nose, she subconsciously covered her mouth and nose.
While walking carefully inside, he used his other hand to fan the stench in front of his face, and when the prisoners in the cell saw someone coming in, they threw themselves on the railing like crazy, and cried for mercy at Bai Yingying.
Bai Yingying was startled, and even more cautiously walked away from the cell and walked along the middle of the road.
After passing the front cell, the more inside, the noise became quieter, and the cell became emptier, until she reached the end, she saw several people standing in a cell, and the official media woman in the middle was whipping a dangling female prisoner with a bamboo chip.
She couldn't help but take a few quick steps, stood outside the cell and shouted inside: "Is she today's female prisoner Duran? ”
The cell was hollow, the voice was unusually loud, the jailers were startled one by one, even the official media wife couldn't help but tremble, she hurriedly looked towards the door, and recognized it as the county daughter's daughter at a glance.
Immediately taken aback, "Miss, why did you run to the cell?" It's dirty and smelly, so get out there. ”
Duran was still sane and clear, she raised her eyes to look at Bai Yingying, and Bai Yingying also walked into the cell and looked up at Duran.
"Are you Duran?"
The official media woman immediately laughed and said, "Miss, isn't it her cheap bone." ”
Bai Yingying glared at her coldly, and the official media woman immediately closed her mouth obediently.
Duran gasped, glanced at her, and said indifferently, "What are you looking for me?" She didn't know the woman in front of her.
If she heard correctly, the girl in front of her should be the daughter of the bastard County Cheng, and she naturally has no good impression of her in her heart.
Bai Yingying didn't answer, but said to her, "It's Xu...... Crane Ning asked me to visit you. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Duran, and saw that her face was beautiful and her temperament was extraordinary, and her heart seemed to be stuffed by something. However, no matter what Xu Hening said, he would not like a married woman, and the vinegar that had just sprouted was suddenly suppressed again.
Duran smiled coldly, "Now that you see it, you can go out." ”
Her attitude was indifferent, Bai Yingying naturally understood the meaning of her words, and immediately glared at her, and ordered the official media wife: "Don't hurry up and put people down." ”
"Yes." The official media woman didn't dare to offend the young lady, so she immediately ordered someone to loosen the hemp rope in her hand, and Duran was put on the ground.
The wound on her body touched the ground, and she gasped in pain, and soon she struggled to sit up and said to Bai Yingying: "Thank you." ”
Bai Yingying smiled awkwardly, "It's me who is late, don't blame Hening, he has done his best." ”
Saying this, he naturally didn't want to delay the business dealings between Xu Hening and her.
Duran hooked his lips weakly and looked at her clearly, "No." ”
Feeling that she was miserable, Bai Yingying immediately ordered the official media wife to move Du Lan to a clean cell, and the official media woman's face changed, "Miss, without an adult's order, the old slave cannot move the prisoner without authorization, and I hope the young lady will understand." ”
Hearing this, Bai Yingying snorted coldly: "Did my father say that you would abuse lynching?" Wouldn't it be detrimental to my father's wisdom that you would sue me when I went out? ”
When the official media woman heard this, her eyes rolled quickly, "Miss, in the past, female prisoners are all that kind of crime, since they are here, where can they get out." ”
"What do you mean?"
The official media woman is silent, doesn't she know who her father is? Over the years, how many people have died unjustly at his hands.
