Chapter 287: The Criminal Department Prison
After Yun Chi left, he never came, Li Jingyi asked Gao Jin and Mama An to pay attention to the news outside, Rong Hai's case was really as Yun Chi said, within a few days, the court issued an edict, Rong Hai and more than 30 men from the Rong family were all beheaded, and all the female dependents were demoted to lowly status and sold into slavery.
After Hu was imprisoned in Zhuangzi, his health has not been good, and he was escorted back to Beijing for thousands of miles, so he finally survived to the holy decree, but he didn't come up in one breath and died in prison.
And Hu Xueying is no better than her, she thought that when she came to the capital, there was a second aunt and a cousin, how could she escape with her life, but she didn't expect that after being imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, none of the Hu family came to see her, and she also begged the jailer many times to be accommodating, hoping to help her bring a message out, and got nothing but whipping.
Because Aunt Lin had the last glimmer of hope in her heart, she struggled to survive in prison, but until the holy decree of selling them as official slaves came down, she did not find the slightest chance to escape.
"Miss, what should we do? Was it really just sold? Aunt Lin looked at Rong Lan who was curled up on the side and whispered.
Rong Lan didn't expect that until today, things haven't taken a turn for the better, isn't she the heroine of the crossing? Does God really want to watch her go from being an official eunuch to a slave who can be bullied? "No, I don't believe God is so short-sighted, do you still have any good things hidden there? Are you reluctant to take it out at this time? ”
Rong Lan didn't believe that so many people like Aunt Lin's heart would not save a hand for herself, "If you don't think about it, your baby son will die!" ”
"What about taking it out? Can you buy these people to send us out? Aunt Lin looked at the fierce female cell leaders outside the women's prison, and didn't believe that they could get good results by asking for help, "What if they should go on a trip for us?" With these people, can you walk to the door of the eldest princess's mansion? "I was knocked out of the door a long time ago.
"So how are you going to go? Just waiting? Rong Lan kicked the ball to Aunt Lin again, the Hu family is dead, Rong Hai and Rong Zhi are about to die, these people are gone, Rong Lan has nothing to be sad about, she is only not sure about her future, there is nothing more terrible than the unknown world, "As you said before, I still have youth and appearance, and a body of martial arts, that is, I am a slave and a maid, and I may not be able to break into a world, but you, if you don't fight, I am afraid that I will die!" ”
Today, Rong Lan will no longer act recklessly, Aunt Lin is a testing stone, she still has to use it.
"You just take out your things and ask for them, you have been in the Eldest Princess's Mansion for many years, could it be that you didn't even have a good relationship back then? Let's see who can deliver a word in front of the eldest princess of Jinyang, that is, if you can't keep the second brother, you can be rescued, and in the future, my father will also have a person who burns paper money in Qingming! ”
Li Jingyi hates her and guards against her, but she may not take Aunt Lin in her eyes, maybe relying on Aunt Lin, they can get rid of the fate of being sold.
"Even if you want to ask the eldest princess to buy you, you have to send the letter first!" Rong Lan saw that Aunt Lin didn't move for a long time, so she sat up straight in anger, "I was caught in Jinling, I was defenseless for a while, and I didn't bring anything valuable, I don't believe you are not prepared at all?!" ”
Aunt Lin thought about it, there was really no better idea, she reached into her clothes and pulled out a few red treasures from the seams of the dirty clothes, "This eldest sister, this eldest sister, please come and talk." ”
……
The eldest princess of Jinyang didn't expect that she actually received a request for help from Hanmo, who had not seen her for many years, thinking that she was her aunt who gave Rong Hai, but now she was sold into slavery again because of Rong Hai, the eldest princess of Jinyang was inevitably a little unbearable, she wanted to save this old servant, and even more wanted to save Rong Hai and Hanmo's son, no matter how Rong Hai failed her, she couldn't bear to let him lose his children and grandchildren.
But when it was really time to employ people, the eldest princess of Jinyang found that she had no one available, and the good father-in-law who could have been negotiated had already been sent to Shuntian Mansion by Li Yuanshan, and she was killed, and Aunt Zhu, the eldest princess of Jinyang, knew in her heart that she was the aunt beside her on the surface, but in fact, her heart was towards Li Jingyi.
"Come on, go and invite Master Gao over," Now she can only use the long history of the eldest princess's mansion.
Gao came in quickly, but when he understood the meaning of the eldest princess of Jinyang, he was so frightened that he knelt down directly in front of her, "Your Royal Highness must not, the emperor has made a clear decree, Rong Hai has formed a party for personal gain, supports the army and respects himself, and sells the good for cheap, which is no different from the intention to choose, and it is rumored outside, if it is not for the early discovery of Enyihou, the Jiangnan camp will be served, Rong Hai is determined to rebel, at this time, His Royal Highness must not come forward to intercede for him, it is his family, we can also be as far away as we can, To tell you the truth, when Ronghai was beautiful, he had dealings with many mansions in the capital, but so far I haven't seen anyone stand up and intercede for him."
Gao Jin couldn't understand which tendon was wrong for the eldest princess of Jinyang, what he wanted to do most now was to invite Li Jingyi over, or call Her Royal Highness the eldest princess sick again.
"This is very powerful, and the palace naturally knows it, and it doesn't plan to intercede for it," the eldest princess of Jinyang sighed, she asked everything she could, it seems that interceding for Rong Hai will never be possible, "I just thought if you could pay attention to it, and when the government sells the daughters of the Rong family, buy people back......"
The eldest princess of Jinyang saw that Gao Jin was silent, for fear that he would not agree, "Don't worry, this palace has no intention of taking them to the mansion, you just need to find a Zhuangzi, send them over, and give them a bite to eat in the future,"
Speaking of this, the eldest princess of Jinyang was ruthless, "Forget about others, you only save Aunt Lin and Rong Lan, and this palace has no intention of giving them glory and wealth, but I don't want to watch my daughter's family fall into slavery and servants, and giving them a peace can be regarded as a complete acquaintance." ”
Well, Gao Jin only has the share of receiving orders, "Yes, Weichen will do it." ”
"It's not a big deal, so you don't need to let Jing Niang know," the eldest princess of Jinyang thought of Li Jingyi, and specially explained.
It is impossible not to let Li Jingyi know, Gao Jin and Wai Xian'an Courtyard, but called a little maid and whispered a few words.
It didn't take much effort for Ling Xin to come out with the little girl, "I've seen Master Gao." ”
Gao Jin returned Lingxin's half-salute, "Lingxin girl, what did the county lord say?" ”
"The county lord said, since His Royal Highness's heart has come, we can't stop it, but the Rong family's crime is too big, and the eldest princess's mansion is not good to come forward directly, and ask Lord Gao to turn around and buy people, regardless of which Zhuangzi outside the city, as His Royal Highness said, give them a bowl of rice and a peace, but people have to watch carefully, if something is passed out, then this peace will never be there again."
Gao Jin felt that the eldest princess's mansion should not stretch out this hand, he passed the news to Li Jingyi, and even hoped that Li Jingyi would come forward to stop him, after all, if something went wrong with the eldest princess's mansion, he would also have to be involved in this long history, but now Li Jingyi said that he should tell people to pay close attention to the bowl of safe rice to eat, and don't spread the news, then the operability will be greater, "I know, don't worry, the county lord can rest assured." ”
Rong Lan and the others stayed in prison for nearly a month, until they saw another group of female dependents of the Hu family being thrown in, she knew that this time it was An Guohou who had also returned to Beijing, not only brought back the Hu family's property, but also escorted the female dependents of the concubine back, Rong Lan looked at the eldest aunt Gu Shi, who was already completely unrecognizable, "Uncle? Is that you? ”
"Auntie? Do you still have the face to call me aunt? If it weren't for the fact that your Rong family had lost all their conscience, how could our Hu family fall back to this point? When Gu Shi saw Rong Lan, it was like seeing an enemy in his previous life, and he pounced on him and slapped him twice, "Why don't you die?!" My poor dear! ”
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law," Hu Jianan's wife Guo Shi hurriedly came over to support Gu, "Wake up,"
Hu Xueying saw her mother and struggled over, "Mother, why are you here too?" Where's Daddy? What about my brother and sister-in-law? Thinking of her husband Hu Jianan, another pair of children, and a grandson who is only three years old, Guo is about to faint in pain.
Now in the eyes of the Hu family, all those surnamed Rong are the culprits of the Hu family's suffering, including Hu Xueying, who married Rongzhi, and Xiao Gao, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family, smacked Hu Xueying fiercely, "Your father? Your father, like my father-in-law, was taken down by the Hou Ye from the capital, and was escorted into Beijing with us sinners, and I heard that I will follow your father-in-law and your man to ask for beheading! ”
Hu Xueying couldn't believe her ears, "Impossible, daddy, and uncle......"
Rong Lan didn't care about the Gu clan and the others about being slapped, she had been locked up for a month, and she didn't know anything about the news outside, "The eldest uncle and the third uncle have to be beheaded?" What about the second uncle? "Why aren't there any Zhao among these people?" Is the second aunt okay? Hurry up and ask someone to beg the second aunt, she is the daughter of the clan, and Xue Qing Xuerou has also entered the palace......"
"Phew, you're embarrassed to mention this, let me tell you, even if the second aunt helps to intercede, it will never benefit anyone in your Rong family, not only that, our Gao family has already followed An Guohou into Beijing," Gao Shi snorted at Rong Lan, "With our Gao family here, we won't let one of your surnamed Rong escape!" ”
"Why? Sister-in-law, you are the wife of the Hu family, and your children will not be able to get rid of it this time," Rong Lan felt that the Gao family was simply crazy, and the Hu family had fallen, but the Hu family's in-laws, like the Gao family, the Jiang family, and the Guo family had not fallen, and the Guo family's daughter-in-law, the Liu family, was still a four-grade official, so shouldn't she come out to help at this time?
Rong Lan simply didn't know what was in the minds of these women?
