Chapter 71: Breaking the Word
Song Lingyue's mouth was bitter for a while, yes, she was confused, and she thought that it would be easier for her to display her ambitions in ancient times than in modern times, which was relatively equal.
Now it's just a small stumbling block from her opponent, and she has no power to fight back.
Song Lingyue clenched her fists, and the unwillingness and resentment in her heart filled her chest.
Just when the hall was deadlocked, I saw a small man dressed in the back hall running in, the man looked panicked, and his face was pale and rushed to the hall.
"Sir." The little guy whispered to Lord Lin. Lord Lin glanced at the little guy, but his brows were tightly furrowed, "What's the matter?" ”
The little servant looked around, came to Lord Lin, lowered his voice and whispered: "Madame is sick, Miss is very anxious, call the slave to call the master." ”
"What's the use of calling an old man when a lady is sick? The old man is not a doctor, not to mention, the old man still has official business to deal with here! Lord Lin's face was slightly gloomy, and there was a faint worry in his eyes.
"Master, Madame fainted suddenly, the situation is dangerous, otherwise the slave would never dare to disturb the master." The little guy explained to Lord Lin with a bitter face.
"Did you call a doctor?"
The little guy said: "It's called, it's called, it's just ......"
"Forget it, I'll go now." Lord Lin thought about it, but he was still not at ease, and turned to the master and said, "Temporarily detain the Song family, and try it again at a later date." ”
"This ......," the master was still a little hesitant.
"What, isn't this official's words good?" Lord Lin's eyes lit up.
"Don't dare!" Master Zhang waved his hand again and again, and watched Master Lin disappear into the lobby with the little girl, then he turned around, swept the two people in the hall and cleared his throat:
"Suspend the court for the time being, and adjourn the retrial."
"Master, do I want to ...... too" Hu Er looked at Master Zhang pitifully, "Master, all the young and old in my family are still waiting for me to go back." ”
Master Zhang glared at Hu Er angrily: "You are the plaintiff, which cell did you go to?" I think you're used to going in. ”
Hu Er touched the back of his head and smiled, flattered Master Zhang, and then grinned proudly at Song Lingyue.
"Don't get complacent too soon." Song Lingyue pointedly pointed to the place on the lower right side of the corner of her lips, which was where Hu Erchang had a mole.
Hu Er subconsciously touched it, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
Master Zhang's words fell, and Zhao Yu stepped forward to take Song Lingyue to the dungeon to watch.
"I told you a long time ago, just confess your sins early, and you won't suffer too much." Zhao Yu looked at Song Lingyue and only shook his head, "The dungeon is not a place where your daughter's family can stay, you have to be mentally prepared." ”
"Lead the way." Song Lingyue's expression was still faint, knowing that Zhao Yu had taken her to the dungeon, her calm face finally had traces of shattering.
The dungeon was built semi-underground, the dampness was very heavy, and it was cold and damp everywhere, and as soon as I came in, I smelled a huge musty smell, and I almost fainted Song Lingyue.
The cell next door was separated from Song Lingyue by a wooden fence, and she could see that the prisoners in the cell next door were all described as withered, as if they were walking dead.
When the prisoners saw that someone was coming, they threw themselves at the fence, stretched out their hands and scratched around in the void, crying out that they had been wronged.
Zhao Yu is quite considerate, and arranged a single room for Song Lingyue, and the environment is much better than those cells with many people.
The cell where Song Lingyue was held was in the innermost, with walls on both sides, the itinerary was at a right angle, the white walls were already moldy and gray and began to mottle and slag, the corners of the walls were muddy, and the air was full of the smell of rot and mold.
The cells were covered with straw, but much of it was moldy and rotten, and it looked dirty.
Fortunately, there is a small air window behind it, of course, it is firmly inlaid with a fence, and only an adult is allowed to stretch out a small arm to enter.
Song Lingyue stood in the center of the cell, feeling that she couldn't even step on her feet, it was too dirty.
"As I said, the dungeon is not a place where your daughter's family can stay." Zhao Yu naturally saw Song Lingyue's disgust and shrugged his shoulders. "So, it would be better if you had admitted it in the hall earlier. At that time, Lord Lin will definitely arrange for me to be executed, and it is a big deal that my subordinates will show mercy, and you will be able to go home at this time. ”
"Enough of that?" Song Lingyue swept Zhao Yu's face coldly, "I don't think there's anything wrong with me arguing in the hall. Besides, I am not arguing for me alone, but for other women who also want to study medicine. ”
"Studying medicine is hard work, are you sure there will be a woman who wants to study medicine? To tell you the truth, I once studied medicine with a doctor for a few days, and in those days I watched him treat and save people, coming and going in the wind and rain all day long, not to mention the extreme hardship, and many patients' lesions are not so beautiful. And the patients are not divided into men and women, your daughter's family is thin-skinned, and many places are afraid that it is difficult to treat you if you want to. ”
"Studying medicine is very hard, but you are not a woman, how do you know that there are no women who want to study?" Song Lingyue raised her head and looked at Zhao Yu in front of her aggressively:
"You say it's hard to study medicine, so why isn't it? Isn't female red embroidery hard? Laborious. Isn't laundry and cooking hard? Laborious. Isn't it hard to have children? Laborious. Isn't it hard to serve your in-laws? Laborious. Isn't it hard to run a house? Laborious.
However, this is a compulsory course for all married women, and you men don't let women do it because of their hard work? On the contrary, the requirements for women in this regard are more stringent.
I said that it is hard to study, hard to be an official, and hard to do business, but you men are not not studying, not being an official and not doing business?
Since they are all hard, why can't women practice medicine, can't do business, can't study, and can't be officials?
Do you really think women are hard? No, don't you think, if you think that women are hard, you would have liberated women from heavy housework, did you?
Compared with those, the suffering of studying medicine is only one thousandth. Compare the two, and it will not be bitter. ”
"You're so aggressive, aren't you worried that you won't be able to find your in-laws' house in the future?" Zhao Yu touched his nose, he was a martial artist, and he couldn't reason with Song Lingyue, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
"What if I can't find my in-laws? What about finding your in-laws? Why, in your eyes, the meaning of a woman's existence is only to marry someone and find her in-laws? The anger in Song Lingyue's tone deepened, forcing Zhao Yu to retreat again and again.
"The master is right, it is really difficult to raise only women and villains, I won't tell you, kindness is regarded as donkey liver and lungs." Zhao Yu flicked his sleeves and turned around and walked out of the prison, "You are here to reflect on it, I was thinking that I was troubled before." ”
Song Lingyue didn't even want to give him a look, and waved her hand to drive Zhao Yu away like a fly.
When Zhao Yu left, the huge cell returned to its supposed quietness.
When those prisoners saw Zhao Yu gone, they no longer shouted that they had been wronged, but scattered around at random to find a place to sit.
Song Lingyue also wanted to sit down, but this cell was really dirty and a little outrageous, she loved it so much that she didn't even want to move.
Song Lingyue found a low couch in the cell and wiped it several times with a handkerchief to make sure that it was not dirty, so she reluctantly sat down on the low couch.
Supporting her chin with her hands, it seems that this unwarranted disaster, I don't know when I will be able to understand it, alas, Song Lingyue sighed.
However, it seems that Lord Lin's family has an accident, so they will adjourn the court in a hurry, and I don't know when the court will be held again, I hope it won't be delayed for too long, otherwise she really won't be able to live.
Song Lingyue covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, the musty smell in the cell made her about to collapse, and she couldn't help but think in her heart, it was better to be beaten to the board, in this environment, it was even more terrible than killing her.
"I see that Lord Nalin seems to have been moved by what I said, and then the master didn't know what to whisper to him, and his face changed again. It seems that this Jizhou Mansion is really the king of northern Hebei, and even Lord Lin, the governor, is afraid of the king of northern Hebei. In this way, it seems that the generalist pharmacy is relying on the king of Jibei, and now I am afraid that he has made up his mind to teach me a lesson. Song Lingyue slandered in her heart, and the sorrow in her eyes couldn't help but show a little.
Song Lingyue huddled on the low couch with her knees crossed, looking at the air window on the wall of the cell a little confused.
Joy Inn.
Qi Mo sat down at the table facing the window, picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and tasted it slowly.
"It's coming!" Qi Mo's eyes moved, and he looked at a certain place in the sky outside the window.
I saw a crisp pigeon chirping, and a white carrier pigeon stepped on the window lattice and appeared in front of Qi Mo's eyes.
The white carrier pigeon was chubby, and a pair of red bean-like eyes were looking at Qi Mo in front of him with interest.
Qi Mo stepped forward and grabbed the pigeon's fleshy body, took off the bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet, and took out a letterhead.
The carrier pigeon cooed in Qi Mo's hand, and from time to time it stretched out its beak and gently pecked the back of Qi Mo's hand.
Qi Mo unfolded the letterhead and read it at a glance, and took out a handful of sunflower seeds from his arms, "Reward you." ”
The carrier pigeon was very spiritual, cooed a few times, and then got out of Qi Mo's palm and swallowed melon seeds on the table.
Qi Mo took out the pen and ink, quickly wrote something on the letter paper, rolled the letter paper into a cylinder, re-stuffed it into the bamboo tube at the feet of the carrier pigeon, and reached out and touched the beak of the carrier pigeon:
"Go, find your master."
Qi Mo stretched out his hand and threw the carrier pigeon out of the window, the carrier pigeon first fell a few meters, and then flapped its wings sharply to make a crisp chirp, and flew away in the direction it came.
As soon as he finished doing this, the door of the wing room creaked open, and Liu Liang slipped in through the door.
"Why did you come back so early today?" Qi Mo closed the window and turned his head to ask Liu Liang.
Liu Liang dodged Qi Mo's gaze, "Today is the same as usual, there is no change. After speaking, he lowered his head weakly.
"Liu Liang, did you know that the tips of your ears will be red when you lie?" Qi Mo said a word, and his scrutinizing gaze fell on Liu Liang, "Say, I don't want to do it myself." ”
"Miss Song has been arrested." Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Liu Liang gritted his teeth and told the truth.
"What?!" Qi Mo suddenly got up and grabbed Liu Liang's collar: "Why didn't you come to inform me earlier?" ”
"I just got caught." Liu Liang don't overdo it.
"Why were you arrested? Where are people now? Say! Qi Mo's eyes flickered, and there was an icy chill all over his body, which made people shudder.
"It's because of the practice of medicine." Liu Liang only felt that there was a cold sweat behind his back, and he didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he could only tell the truth about the information he had found.
