Chapter 1: The Soul of the Martyr
Big Week
In early summer, the heavy rain always comes suddenly, the air is often dull, and the prison is dark and damp. As soon as you step into the cell, you can smell a rancid smell mixed with the smell of blood and musty, and when you get closer, the smell is almost disgusting.
And the center of this rancid smell is Yin Jiuyue in the depths of the cell.
Yin Jiuyue was covered in a mess, her long hair was draped in a messy knot behind her head, and the blood marks caused by the whipping on her dirty prison uniform were shocking, because she had not been treated, the wounds had festered, and the stench began to fill the entire cell from her tattered body. She leaned against the wall, half of her face was covered with blood, and she couldn't see her original appearance clearly, only a pair of eyes were black and white, clean and pure, without a trace of impurities.
Suddenly, the door of the prison was opened from the outside, and a woman in brocade clothes covered her nose with one hand and walked in slowly.
"Is it comfortable for the county lord to stay in this prison?" The woman smirked sarcastically.
When Yin Jiuyue heard this, she suddenly looked up at the woman outside the prison door, a trace of hope gradually appeared on her originally dull face, and she said hoarsely: "Sister Xiao Yu! Where is Muzhi...... I want to see Mu Zhi......"
"The county lord is downcast like this, and you still want to see Brother Shen?" The sarcasm on the face of the woman who was called Xiao Yu deepened, "County Lord, haven't you forgotten those tortures?" It was all ordered by Brother Shen. ”
Hearing these words, Yin Jiuyue trembled violently. The punishments that have been inflicted on her in the past few days have already scarred her body, and even caused her to lose the child she had so hard to conceive! Even with the recent series of bad news, her will has long been on the verge of collapse, if it weren't for Shen Muzhi, this man who has spent more than ten years with her, maybe she would have given up the idea of living a long time ago.
"I don't believe it...... Where is Muzhi! He knew that Yin Fu was innocent!" Yin Jiuyue's eyes were full of disbelief, she stumbled to the cell door, her hands clutching the iron bar, "I want to see Mu Zhi!"
Xiao Yu was startled by her sudden pounce, and then she smelled the strong rancid smell on the woman's body, she took a few steps back, she could no longer maintain the hypocritical smile on her face, and said in disgust: "Since the county lord wants to see Brother Shen like this, then I naturally want to help the county lord." After saying a word, she ordered someone to open the prison door, and the two jailers picked up Yin Jiuyue's body with little strength and walked out of the prison with a look of disgust.
Not far from the prison is the bazaar outside the imperial city, it is noon, the bazaar is full of people, bustling, and the most crowded place is a high stand, before it arrives, the wind blows a gust of wind, warm and with the salty smell of blood.
A violent sense of uneasiness suddenly rose in Yin Jiuyue's heart, she was taken by the prisoner car and parked not far from the stands, but the next scene she saw made her feel like falling into an ice cellar.
Shen Muzhi sat on the stands, holding the execution order in one hand, but he was executed by the Yin family.
Her kinsmen, dressed in prison uniforms, knelt on one side of the execution ground, while on the other side were several headless corpses, their heads falling haphazardly on the ground, twisted or hideous, but each one of her most familiar faces. Her father, mother, and two brothers were all sentenced to Ling Chi and tied to the front of the execution ground. The wounds on their bodies were already deep to the bone, and the bright red blood flowed down their bodies, accumulating into a large sea of blood under the execution ground, and the scorching red stabbing of her eyes made her eyes split.
"Daddy! Mother!" Yin Jiuyue's eyes were red, and she shouted a terrible wail in her hoarse voice, but in an instant, she was covered by the abuse of the people. She slammed into the prison cart like crazy, and the prison uniform, which had turned dark red from the drying and clotting of blood, was dyed bright red again.
"County Lord, what's wrong?" Xiao Yu stood aside, as if she felt that the scene in front of her was pleasing to the eye, and she laughed lightly, "The county lord just kept saying that he wanted to see Brother Shen, why do you have such a look now?"
"Let me out! Why! Why ......" Yin Jiuyue's body was already extremely weak, and she collapsed on the prisoner car in a few strokes, and the shouts in her mouth fell weakly.
"The county lord is so sad now, it really makes me sad in my heart." Xiao Yu hooked the corners of his mouth, "Prince Yin's Mansion colluded with Southern Xinjiang, collaborating with the enemy and treason is a serious crime, Brother Shen killed his relatives in righteousness, and took on the heavy task of executing Prince Yin's Mansion with all his might, and now it is a beautiful talk among the people." ”
"It's just that the county lord must not know." Xiao Yu covered his mouth and nose and approached the prisoner car, and there was a chilling madness in his eyes, "All this is what the emperor meant, the emperor wants Prince Yin's mansion to disappear in Dazhou." The evidence of the rebellion is just a copy of the family letter that your father Yin Zhu gave you, the Shen family has been involved in this scheme from beginning to end, Shen Muzhi doesn't love you at all, he deliberately approached you from the beginning. Otherwise, how could he let me send someone to intercept you and make you lose the ability to conceive. Although God sees you as pitiful and makes you still pregnant with an heir, so what? Haven't you died in this prison yet? When you are also dead, Brother Shen, he will marry me. ”
"Hehe, county lord, you are just a chess piece, a chess piece used to kill the Yin Mansion."
"It was you who indirectly harmed the entire Yin Mansion, and it was you who destroyed yourself."
"Ahhhhh Not me!"
"It's you! I'm going to kill you!" She suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed Xiao Yu's bun, and somehow she had the strength again, and dragged it hard, as if she wanted to pull her hair down with her scalp. Xiao Yu's whole face was distorted in pain, and she screamed, "Tear her away for me!"
The attendant on the side hurriedly stepped forward and broke her fingers one by one, and the knuckles made a crisp sound, and when they were completely broken, her fingers were all bent into abnormal arcs.
Xiao Yu's hair was torn into a mess, and she was still in shock, screaming for the jailer to lock Yin Jiuyue back in prison.
After being imprisoned, Yin Jiuyue looked crazy, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, and her voice was hoarse and ugly. After some time, her movement became louder and louder, and the jailer was so distraught by her crying and laughing that he opened the cell with a stick and was about to beat her.
Before he could swing the stick, he felt a chill in his back, followed by a sharp pain, and when he looked down, he saw the tip of the knife shining through his chest and appearing in his eyes.
Before he could breathe completely, the jailer saw a black figure rushing to Yin Jiuyue, kneeling on one knee, trembling slightly and wrapping around her thin back.
