The matter of the concubine of the Zhiyong Mansion, the Mei family, and the Liu family, framing the concubine and daughter-in-law, was very noisy, and it became a hot topic of discussion in the capital for a while.

Not too many people mentioned Chunying's matter before, Wei Chang'an was beaten by the board, and the Zhiyong Mansion compensated Chunying's family for the silver, and this matter ended here.

Originally, the government decided to give 500 taels, but the Bao family gave 1,000 taels.

said that the spring warbler has always served him wholeheartedly, and the master and servant are kind, and the five hundred taels are considered a reward.

The Criminal Department decided to carry out the hanging immediately after the Mei's Liu family paraded the public for three days, and it stands to reason that it should be the Autumn Queen's beheading, but the case was so dynamic that even the Queen Mother was alarmed.

In view of this, the sentence was advanced.

Mei and Liu were locked in a prison cart in prison uniforms, which was pulled by oxen and walked quite slowly.

Some good things came out to see, and many children ran away with the prisoner car.

Many wealthy families deliberately built pergolas in front of their homes and put up a curtain around them, so that the concubines and girls in the house could sit inside and watch the concubines of the Zhiyong Mansion parade through the streets.

On the contrary, the gate of the Zhiyong Mansion was closed, and even the corner door was not opened.

There were many people who followed to watch the excitement, and the people who were going to watch the Zhiyong Mansion scold these two poisonous women, but who thought that it was like this, and they couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

and the poor sour half bottle of vinegar, shaking his head and praising Bao's style of everyone.

But no matter what, the prisoner car still passed in front of the Zhiyong Mansion.

Aunt Mei and Aunt Liu raised their heads and looked at the plaque on the door of the mansion, the closed door cut off their connection with this place.

Their youth and beauty are wasted here, their minds and energy are wasted here, and they finally end up with the reputation of a sinner and poisonous woman, which is really sad and ridiculous to think about.

Aunt Mei continued to have a high fever because of the torture, and she was not very conscious.

In addition, she is old, she has been locked up for a long time, and she is emaciated, so there is nothing to look at.

Aunt Liu is different, she is young and beautiful, and she confessed truthfully after going to court, so she was not punished.

At this time, although she was wearing a prison uniform and a flat bun, she still couldn't hide her beauty, and everyone present couldn't help but stare at her.

Aunt Mei's prisoner car was in front, she lowered her head and was half dead, now the weather is hot, and the streets are suffering, I am afraid that she will not be able to survive these three days.

"Sister Mei," Aunt Liu called out to her, "why don't you laugh?" ”

Aunt Mei turned her head weakly and looked at Aunt Liu in confusion, not understanding why she made herself laugh, and she didn't know what else was funny at this time.

"Sister Mei, you should laugh." Aunt Liu herself really smiled, and it didn't seem adulterated at all.

Aunt Mei looked at her with great difficulty, and her head was in chaos.

Aunt Liu was not in a hurry, she just raised her eyebrows playfully, and her eyes were meaningful.

Aunt Mei suddenly realized and laughed happily.

Aunt Liu's laughter was crisp and sweet, and Aunt Mei's laughter was a little sad, because her voice was already hoarse.

Although the door of the Zhiyong Mansion is closed, there are still many good servants eavesdropping on the door.

Laughter came in, and the people looked at each other.

"What are they laughing at?" A mother-in-law said, "Aren't they going to be executed the day after tomorrow?" ”

Can a dying person still laugh?

"Maybe they're crazy!" Manned interface.

It is obviously abnormal for these two people to laugh, and if they are not normal, they are naturally crazy.

"By the way, didn't you see the peach?" Someone else opened his mouth.

Pan Tao went crazy, just when Mrs. was judging her.

After Pan Tao went crazy, he giggled all day long, or he talked nonsense.

The mothers in charge of the house discussed, and when they had time, they sent her to Zhuangzi, so as not to make her crazy in the house, and not to annoy the master.

But who would have thought that she would have an accident in a few days, and she died quite miserably.

Madame was so kind that she took a thin coffin out and buried it, but she didn't tell the coachman who hit her to burn the silver, and the coachman kowtowed gratefully.

If you really want him to lose money, or send him to the government, it's enough to choke.

"Madam, this is accumulating blessings for the young masters and young ladies!" The servants said so in private.

After all, these days the house is really unpeaceful, and many people have died one after another.

"The two of them actually laughed?" Bao couldn't help frowning after listening to Guo's mother's advice: "Do they still have a trick?" ”

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was impossible.

Soon, the laughter of the Mei and Liu clans when passing by the Zhiyong Mansion spread like a gust of wind throughout the capital, and people had different opinions.

But it's just a quarrel for a while, and in the end, no one really cares what these two people are laughing atTwo death row inmates, how they cry and laugh, they are about to die anyway.

Such vicious women, I am afraid that after many years, there will still be people who remember their crimes, but they only leave an infamy, and I am afraid that no one will remember if they do not laugh.

At dusk, the parade ended, and Aunt Mei and Aunt Liu were escorted back to the prison.

The jailers didn't bother to care about these death row inmates, the dungeon was hot and humid, and they all hid out to eat, drink and gamble.

The cells of the two men were next to each other, separated by two wooden fences.

Aunt Mei was very sick and lay on the ground as if she was dead, and Aunt Liu was also so thirsty that her throat was smoking, and she called Aunt Mei several times after drinking half a bowl of water.

Aunt Mei agreed dizzily.

"I have a plum for you to eat, don't you like to eat plums the most?" Aunt Liu said as she took out a small plum from her arms and threw it to Aunt Mei.

Aunt Mei struggled to pick it up and asked her, "Where did you come from?" ”

They were on death row, where could they eat the fruit.

"A kid threw and hit me, and it happened to fall into the hem of my clothes." Aunt Liu smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that those eggs were all broken." ”

When they were walking in the streets, people kept throwing things and beating them, eggs, rotten vegetables, everything.

After a day of wandering the streets, it is extremely dirty and smelly, it is really better to die soon.

Aunt Mei took a bite of the plum, it was very sour and astringent, but there was also a hint of lusciousness, she hadn't eaten fruit for a long time.

She tasted the rare taste with some nostalgia, and felt a little relieved in her heart, so she said, "Sister, you made me laugh today because of this?" ”

Aunt Mei said and stretched out a hand to compare "five".

Aunt Liu nodded, her expression could not hide her happiness: "That's right, with her, the Bao family won't be proud for long." On Huangquan Road, we are only one step ahead of her, and someone will avenge us. ”

Yes, there is another person who will avenge them, although that person's purpose is not that. But as long as she finally ends Bao's life, it is equivalent to avenging them.

"God bless her, she must succeed!" Aunt May prayed in a whisper.

"It will be," Aunt Liu was very sure: "She is smarter than you and me, and calmer than you and me, Bao is not her opponent." ”
