Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Disaster of Innocence
Now I have no place to go, am I going to sleep on the street tonight, this cold day makes people can't help but play the tooth frame, the colder it gets, the more severe it gets, and finally it is cold and tired, I had to find a place to sit, and then open the white porcelain bottle that I just took from the hospital, and then make a big hole in the pants on my injured knee, and lightly sprinkle the white powder, a bone-crushing pain instantly spread all over my lower limbs, and I couldn't bear the pain the most on weekdays, This tear will fall like a click, my tears are probably worthless, and they have always been dropped.
After dealing with the wound on my knee, I tore off the fabric at the hem of my shirt with my mouth, and then tied it around my knee, the ground was still too cold, I was already injured, if I contracted the wind chill again, it would be okay, I finally escaped death, but I didn't want to die again.
After thinking about it, there seems to be a temple in Meaux, and all the monks there are there, so they should be merciful enough to take me in for one night, and leave everything else until tomorrow, I'm really a little sleepy.
Holding on to my consciousness, I walked a long way, but when I was about to reach the temple, I saw a figure flashing in a hurry, and it was slightly familiar, but I was familiar with everyone, but no one could remember it, so I still didn't think about it.
As a result, when I walked to the gate of the temple, I saw that there was some liquid flowing by the moonlight, and when I looked in the direction of the liquid, there was actually a person, and this person I knew, it was Long Shimeng, who was still clamoring for me to look good an hour ago, why did she lie there and not move!
"Help, help, help, is there anyone, come on, help!" I saw that she was still alive, so I hurriedly stepped forward to help stop the bleeding, but she saw that I was just grabbing my sleeve and muttering some nonsense, one sentence is what a slut, and the other sentence is that I don't want to die, I don't want to die, but when she said these two sentences, the hand that was still holding on to it suddenly fell, and her eyes stared at the boss, looking dead.
Later, when the people in the temple heard the noise outside, they came out to check the situation, and saw a corpse lying next to me, and there were blood stains on my body, one of the little monks was so frightened that he peed his pants, and the other shouted, "Kill, kill!" ”
I went, and it was clear that I had just shouted for help, but it turned out that I was a murderer, but these monks couldn't justify me, so they took the bodies of me and Long Shimeng to the official mansion in Mocheng overnight.
When the jailer guarding the big guy saw me, his eyes straightened, "Why are you again, what treasure have you stolen?" ”
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "I came in this time because of my life." ”
"What? You've been caught stealing, and you've killed someone! ”
Will this jailer have too big a brain, but I don't have the heart to argue with him, do I have to be glad, I have at least a place to stay today, this is the daughter of Long Xiangye after all, no matter what, I estimate that I will suffer this time, but I don't kill people, I know this very well, I absolutely can't admit it.
After all, it was an old acquaintance, and the jailer was quite polite to me, and found me a bed and a broken quilt so that I wouldn't freeze, and when the jailer gave me the quilt and was about to go out, I stopped him.
"There's nothing to eat, I haven't eaten in a day."
"Alas, this time, you're dead, wait, I'll go and bring you the leftover steamed buns I just ate, it's not too hard, don't pick it."
"Don't pick or choose, just eat some of them." Where do I dare to be picky eaters, this is the case, of course I have to save my life first, now I think about it and regret it, it is better to be taken away by him obediently, and I will not fall to this.
I'm probably very used to the environment in the cell, after I finished eating steamed buns, covered with a quilt, and then fell asleep as soon as I dipped in straw, there were too many things that happened this day, I was a little tired, I needed to slow down, there was a tough battle to fight tomorrow, I had to recuperate.
Just when I was still dreaming in my sleep, a basin of cold water came to my face, pouring me cold, I got up and brushed the water stains off my face, and before I could see the person in front of me, I was kicked hard.
"You slut, how dare you kill my young lady, you slut!" It turned out to be the girl next to Long Shimeng, she hit me very hard, as if she wanted to beat me to death, if it wasn't for the jailer on the side who couldn't stand it and stopped her, I guess I might have been killed.
"I didn't kill her, haven't you seen her again since I got rid of your young lady last night?"
Although my body is in pain now, I have to prove my innocence first.
The girl cried and shouted, "No, no, after Miss ran away with you, I never saw her again, you must have killed her, you dared to beat Miss, it's not unusual for you to kill her, by the way, you are afraid that Miss will ask Xiangye to teach you a lesson, so you don't do anything to kill Miss, you slut, I want to avenge Miss!" As he spoke, he wanted to hit me, but was stopped by another person wearing an official uniform on the side.
"This matter will be dealt with by the official, if it weren't for the Xiangye's order to let you, a little girl, recognize people, where would you be so presumptuous, since you recognize it, let's go quickly, and the official will open a court to try the case!"
This fat-headed brain is Mo City's parent official, and the odds of winning that I don't have much in my heart have been reduced by a few points.
Not long after they left, the warden had handcuffs and shackles for me, and it was almost noon before I was taken to court.
As soon as I walked to the lobby, the catcher behind me pressed me to the ground, and my knee was already injured, and this press hurt a little more.
"Whoever kneels in the hall, report your name!"
"Southern Kite."
"Where are you from, and where do you live?"
"People from Mocheng, who live in the Lingguo Mansion."
As soon as he heard that I was living in Ling Guogong, this senior official immediately rolled his eyes, and then asked me, "What is your relationship with Ling Guogong?" ”
Isn't it a trial, so profound, it seems that he wants to get involved, but I can only disappoint him, "I am the young lady of the Ling Guo Mansion's maid." When I spoke of the young lady, his eyes were full of horror, and when I gasped and said the word maid, he gave me a roll of his eyes.
"The maid is the maid, can't you say it well, I'm scared to death." I saw him pat his chest, and then patted the startled wood, 'pop'.
The master beside him stepped forward and said to him, "Master, you don't need to shoot at this time." ”
"This is the official's court, when the official wants to shoot, when he wants, you will try the case or the official will try the case?"
"Naturally, it is the master, and naturally it is the master." The master didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only retreat to the side and stand quietly.
"Let's talk about it, how you killed Xiangye's 2,000 gold, and how you threw your body into the wilderness."
This old man is probably mentally retarded, "I didn't throw the corpse in the wilderness, Long Shimeng's body is at the gate of the temple." ”
"Then you admit that you killed her."
"Everything must be evidenced, you say I killed her, where is the evidence?"
When he saw that I looked fearless, he became a little serious, "First, many monks in the temple saw you next to the corpse, and Xiangye's 2,000 gold was immediately cut off, not who else could you have; Second, you and the deceased had a push and dispute before, and many people can testify to this last night in the small vendors in Mocheng, this third, you deliberately led the deceased to chase you, and you were afraid of the power of the Xiangye, so you started to kill, but the deceased fled all the way to the temple, which made you exposed as if you were in front of people, and many things, which are enough to prove that you are the murderer! ”
"It's ridiculous, if I really want to kill her, why should I call for help before she dies, that is not to tell everyone that I am the murderer, and I did have pushes and disputes with her, but you have to be clear, it was she who was domineering and bullying people at that time, and I never touched her, and finally you said that I deliberately led her to chase me, and then I took the trouble to kill all the way to the temple in the south of the city of Mocheng, am I too stupid or Long Shimeng is too stupid, she can call people nearby, and she has to run to the deserted temple by herself!"
"You, you're so clever!"
"You don't know right from wrong!"
Do you want to be louder than louder, who wouldn't!
"Presumptuous, come on, call me!"
I looked at the catcher on the side and was about to start, and shouted, "Who dare! This is an important place in Gyeonggi, do you want to bend into a move, although I am a maid, I also understand the law! ”
At this time, the master whispered a few words to the big official, and when he saw the big official, he immediately smiled, "You said that you didn't kill anyone, then let me ask you, where did the injuries on your body come from, isn't this what you were injured by the other party when you were going to kill someone?" ”
"If I have injuries on my body and think that I have pushed and shoved with the deceased, then my lord, you are now disheveled, can I think that you have just made out with someone in the back hall?"
As soon as these words came out, the face of this big official immediately became embarrassed, and he immediately turned around to pack his clothes, and then made a long time before turning around, "Boldly make up for the people, dare to tease the officials of the imperial court, come and give me ten boards, this is not a trick, but a small punishment for you to despise officials!" ”
This unconscious official, I was pressed to the floor, and then I was hit hard on the buttocks, and these catchers were beaten very hard, as if they were beaten not in the ass but in a sack, and it hurt me to death!
"The Green King has arrived!"
The shouts from outside the hall surprised me for a while, and then a dozen people came in from outside.
"Is this how Lord Qin usually tries cases!" I couldn't see his face clearly, but I knew he was angry with me.
The big official immediately came down from above, and then performed a ritual like a dog's leg, "Why is the Qingwang here, what a distinguished guest!" ”
He thought it was a visit to relatives and friends, and a distinguished guest, my ass, my ass.
"This man is going to be taken away!"
"Wait, Qingwang!"
At this time, another person came in outside, and the senior official immediately greeted him flatteringly, "I've seen Long Xiangye." ”
It turned out to be Long Shimeng's father, it seems that I didn't want to go out so smoothly today.
