5. I don't seem to be a grasshopper

Xiao Yaozong was determined to go to his father to make the decision, but the strange thing was that when the sun went down, Xiao Qing did not come back. At this time, even Xiao Runxin muttered in his heart, and sent a little servant to find it.

Until midnight, Xiao Qing didn't come back. The little guy inquired all the way, saying that Xiao Qing entered the imperial city today and never came out again. Xiao Runxin was restless, and he always felt that things were not good.

Wang Erya stepped forward to comfort her and persuaded her to rest first, but she felt that Xiao Runxin looked at her strangely.

Xiao Runxin took her hand and said, "I have always listened to you, if something really happens, don't abandon me." ”

Wang Erya thought that the eldest lady was also confused, only the master threw away the subordinates, where can the subordinates abandon the master, but this is a good opportunity to show loyalty. Wen Yan said: "Don't worry, Miss, where is Miss, I am there." ”

Dense footsteps were heard outside the house, followed by a vigorous banging on the door. As soon as the porter opened the door, he was pushed down, and then a group of heavily armed officers and soldiers rushed in.

The old and young in the family were all woken up to stand in the front yard, Wang Erya helped Xiao Runxin, and found that she was in a cold sweat and trembling all over her body.

The officers and soldiers lined up, and a burly middle-aged man walked in, it was Guo Hongyi, the general of Jin Yuwei.

"Uncle Guo, what's going on?" Xiao Yaozong's words can't be studied.

"The Xiao family collaborated with the enemy and treason, the mastermind Xiao Qing has been imprisoned, and the rest of the people are all rebellious and taken away!"

"General Guo!" Xiao Run's heart trembled, "My Xiao family has been loyal and good for generations, but I don't know why I was charged with such a crime, I don't know if there is any evidence!" ”

Guo Hongyi looked coldly, not at all as amiable as he was when he was "Uncle Guo" on weekdays, "Xiao Qing has already pleaded guilty, as for the evidence, can I still say it so that you can collude or not?" ”

Hearing the words Xiao Qing confessed, Xiao Run's heart softened and he fainted.

The entire Xiao family, sixty-seven masters and servants from top to bottom, all entered the prison of Zongzheng Mansion. Xiao Run's heart is delicate, Wang Erya wanted to accompany her, but Xiao Qing's relatives are all specially detained, and they are not with their subordinates.

Wang Erya is completely confused, this serious illness has recovered, fighting for his stepmother, getting a new marriage, and then he should be a shameless husband who has spoiled me for 10,000 years, at most there will be some house fights or something, why did you add this play?

Even if it is a historical overhead, you can imagine it with your toes, collaborating with the enemy and treason is not a joke, and the punishment of the nine clans is by no means alarmist.

There were a few other girls in the same cell, whimpering and crying. Wang Erya was upset, and it happened that Lixiang was also there, and asked, "Is our master really collaborating with the enemy?" ”

After asking this sentence, I felt stupid, what can the girls know.

Sure enough, Lixiang cried: "Who knows, we subordinates will clean up and wait, where can we care about what the masters are doing all day." ”

The other maid, who seemed to be from Xiao Qing's courtyard, whimpered: "I look good on weekdays, except for the court and the mansion, who would have thought that he would do such a thing, but he would kill those of us who are subordinates." ”

Wang Erya didn't know what to do, so she could only hope that Xiao Qing would be framed and get her grievances soon, or that Xiao Runxin's future husband could mediate at least not be full of beheadings.

But she didn't come as she expected.

Xiao Yaozong confessed to his father's charges under torture, and Xiao Qing hanged himself in prison after learning about it. On the night of Xiao Qing's death, a black-clothed masked man broke into Zongzheng's mansion late at night, injured several officials, and rescued Xiao Runxin.

Long Yan was furious, and gave the Xiao family a full house to be beheaded, and the servants were sold into slavery. The Zongzheng Mansion was not strictly guarded, and many officials were implicated and demoted.

A series of accidents caught Wang Erya off guard, and when she remembered Xiao Runxin's words that night, she was shocked to realize that this Taichang Shaoqing Mansion was probably really unclean.

Xiao Runxin treats her a little more caring and polite than other subordinates, not benevolently, but she and the real Wang Erya are probably grasshoppers on the same rope.

A slave is not the same as a servant. The servant is a moon silver, and he has a family of his own, and the slave is an animal bought by the master's family.

Before selling, they all have to be branded with slave marks on their backs, Wang Erya knew that she couldn't escape, gritted her teeth, and left her heart so that she was not afraid of no firewood, but she didn't expect that things were far worse than she thought.

The officials of Zongzheng Mansion were affected and demoted, and the fire in their stomachs was not extinguished, and the Xiao family wanted to be physically examined and punished, and they couldn't be killed before beheading, but no one cared about the subordinates.

said that it was a brand, and when they entered the torture room, they were all beaten, and several of them did not survive and were killed on the spot.

When Wang Erya was escorted in, Lixiang's body had not yet had time to be cleaned up.

At first, she would beg for mercy, then she would simply cry, and finally she would howl until she couldn't make a sound.

There was a smell of burnt flesh, but she couldn't feel the pain anymore.

In a blur, she seemed to be picked up and thrown onto the car, the creaking sound of the wheels reminding her that she wasn't dead.

Then she threw herself into a cage and she didn't know anything.

……

A gorgeously dressed and dusty noble son rushed over, looking for people from cage to cage, and turned back and forth three times before pulling out Wang Erya who was drowning in the slave group.

Brushed the hair off her face, wiped the sludge clean, looked at her face and looked, yes, finally found it!

Before Ning Jinyu finished being happy, she heard a voice behind her hurriedly shouting, "This, fifty taels, I want it!" ”

Ning Jinyu turned around and immediately darkened his face, "Ning Jincheng, do you want to be shameless, I found it!" ”

Ning Jincheng's face was unashamed, "I'll buy it first." ”

As he spoke, he summoned the slave trader, "Hurry up, take it out, I will take it away." ”

Ning Jinyu hasn't let go of his mouth yet, how dare a mere official make a move.

"Ning Jincheng, you dare! Are there any rules, first come, first served, do you understand? ”

"Oh? Which one does Daan Law stipulate? ”

"Do you have to fight with me for everything!"

"If you see it, you must fight to the end!"

The two quarreled so much that the slave trader interjected tremblingly: "The rules of this slave trade are indeed not first-come, first-served, but the one with the highest price gets ......."

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then Ning Jincheng stretched out a finger, "One thousand taels." ”

Compared with spending money, Ning Jinyu has not lost.

"Two thousand taels."

"Four thousand taels."

"Eight thousand taels."

"Ten thousand!"

Looking at the two masters who were arguing, the slave trader whispered: "Two sons, it's better to decide quickly, she is about to run out of breath." ”

Ning Jinyu: ......

Ning Jincheng: ......

In the end, the two of them each paid five hundred taels, a total of one thousand taels to buy Wang Erya back.

As for the arrogance of 10,000 taels, it's not that these two losers can't afford it, it's that the slave traders don't dare to accept it. Who dares to blacken the silver of this demon king of the mixed world, but he is afraid that he will have a life to take a lifeless flower.

In her dream, Lixiang was drenched in blood and did not have a piece of intact flesh on her body, so she dragged her feet and shouted at her for help. Suddenly, it became Xiao Runxin again, she said that you said that you would not leave me alone, she told her to run, but she didn't run away, she was caught by a group of officers and soldiers, and the five horses were divided...... Xiao Runxin shouted to her, "And you, you can't escape!" ”
