Ninety-nine Prison Visits
Outside the window, a trace of fish-belly white light was revealed, and suddenly there was a "crackling" lightning sound, mixed with a "booming" thunder. The majestic lingering on the periphery of the bedroom is terrifying!
Chen Xiaocui was so shocked that she opened her eyelids and looked outside without closing the window, but what caught her eyes was: patches of goose feathers and heavy snow, fluttering in a sprinkled manner. Some of them naughtily stuck to the window edges!
Seeing this, she muttered unconsciously: Yesterday, the sky was still clear and cloudless. Today, the sky is thunder and lightning. But the goose feather snow is sparsely sprinkled, which is really unbelievable!
Muttering in his mouth, Chen Xiaocui was already dressed. Xi pulled the cloth shoes and rushed to the bedroom door, pulled off the door bolt and opened it, and found that the flowers and trees in the courtyard had been covered with transparent tulle!
Suddenly, a thought flashed in her mind: Yesterday, the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court came to Wanfu to arrest people, and now the sky is snowing with thunder and lightning. Right now, it's October. How can it snow?
Doubts rose in her heart, Chen Xiaocui couldn't help scratching her ears and cheeks and said: Hey, our father and mother told the story of "June Snow". This "snow in October", maybe even the Lord of Heaven thinks that the people of Wanfu should not be implicated by the eldest aunt. also condemned the emperor Lao'er for not setting the law of "exterminating the nine clans"?
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaocui rushed to the courtyard and looked up at the sky, raised his arms and shouted: God, you must bless the mother's family of the three old ladies. I have fled to the field with them and the descendants of Wanfu in peace!
At this time, she remembered the question she didn't understand yesterday. Immediately turned around and ran to the backyard "under the wind", and a series of "pop, pop" sounds fell behind him. Stretching and swirling in the air flow above Wanfu, it sounds monotonous, dull, poignant, and helpless!
Walking into the ancestral hall in the backyard of Wanfu, Chen Xiaocui looked at the tablets one by one and cried and said: The ancestors and ancestors are protected by their father-in-law. I'll survive! The two Qincha lords will come here the day after tomorrow, and when I go to the county jail today, I will ask my father-in-law and husband a clear question. I can only leave with you tomorrow, helplessly. I hope you can understand!
Then, she grabbed a few handfuls of cloud sandalwood and lit them and inserted them into the incense burner in front of these tablets. Then he lit the candle in front of them, and raised his hands to his chest in front of them, and said with tears in his eyes: Fathers and fathers, you must manifest your spirits and protect the descendants whom I have found you!
After the words slipped out, Chen Xiaocui knelt on the ground with a "poof". Facing the tablets one by one, "Dong, Dong, Dong", I kowtowed three times, stood up and ran out, ran into the kitchen, simply cleaned up breakfast, filled my stomach, wiped my mouth with a towel, and didn't care about washing dishes, chopsticks, pots and pans and other items!
She hurriedly made four dishes: fish, shrimp, meat, and chicken, wrapped several layers in lotus leaf buns and stuffed them into the bamboo strip canteen bucket; He took out two pairs of chopsticks and a bottle of liquor from the cupboard, and stuffed them into the bamboo bucket. muttered to himself: Hey, I can only cook this one meal for them before leaving!
As she spoke, Chen Xiaocui ran into the bedroom again to pry open a brick on the wall, took out a bag of broken silver from it, and muttered to herself: Hey, go to the county jail to see your father-in-law and husband. You have to buy off the officials at the gate of the county government and the jailer at the gate of the prison, and these pieces of silver must only be enough to deal with them!
After a while, Chen Xiaocui divided the bag of broken silver into ten bags. Then, with a wry smile, I stuffed them into a few pockets on my body!
Because, she clearly knew: she didn't know when the imperial court would send someone to arrest her, so she left these broken silver. Leave it for a while! However, now in order to obtain the answer to the mystery in my heart. But they must be used to buy the prison guards, and their future living expenses will not be missing!
At this moment, Chen Xiaocui thinks the most in her heart: Wang Yinfeng, the fifth aunt of her husband Wan Qilin, is pregnant, and she followed Sister Jinhua to the capital to play at her mother's house. I didn't see her yesterday, and I was arrested with my lord and husband! Thanks to the protection of his father-in-law, he was lucky enough to continue to survive. It's up to you to figure out the mystery!
She understands better: Wang Yinfeng will have a child in two months, even if there is no broken silver to survive for a while in the future. She must also ask her father-in-law and husband about her whereabouts, and find her to take care of her husband's last child. If she doesn't, she will definitely have a bad conscience in the future!
Thinking about her thoughts, Chen Xiaocui had already found a black oilcloth umbrella and rushed out of Wanfu to lock the big copper lock. Just "the wind under your feet" rushed to Huayang County and County Ya!
She didn't have time to browse the pedestrians and vehicles along the way. I thought to myself: Hey, I hope that the three old ladies and their mother's family have all changed their faces, and they have gone to live incognito in a place where no one knows. But you must not let the two Qincha lords, and the imperial forest army and government officials led by the county commander and the Sichuan official catch them!
After about a stick of incense, Chen Xiaocui came to the gate of the county government with a tall wall. Looking at the four officials who were younger than her at the gate of the county office, she took out four small bags of broken silver and approached the four officials guarding the door and said: "Four brothers, I want to go in to visit Wan Pengju and Wan Qilin, who were arrested yesterday. These pieces of silver are even your tea bills, please make it happen!
And as he spoke, he gave them the broken silver. She couldn't help but think uneasily: Now, I don't know how many jailers are guarding the prison door? If they're all too little. What should I do?
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaocui clearly felt that in his heart, it was like fifteen wild cats living in it. It's all over and over in it!
After taking the broken silver, the four officials weighed the small bag in their hands. said with a smile on his face: Sister, for the sake of you, you are very good at being a person. Of course we must accede to your request, please come in!
Hearing this, Chen Xiaocui couldn't help but let out a long breath and said, "Oh, I can get your help." I'm so happy and thank you very, very much!
As she spoke, she hurriedly said, "Oh, what about the row of cells where the two men were put together?"
One of the officials went into the lounge, checked the "prison book" and said: "The two men are sitting in the fourth room of the second row." You're good to go!
When Chen Xiaocui heard this, he immediately rushed into the yamen. I saw a house on the opposite side of a flat open space, and the word "Mingcha" was written on the lintel. To the east of the clearing is a row of houses, and to the west of the clearing is a few rows of walls that say "prison"!
In front of these houses, two jailers stood each. She thought to herself: there were only two jailers outside, and only two inside. Anyway, I have enough money to hire a carriage tomorrow and leave Wanfu!"
Thinking about her thoughts, she took out two small bags of broken silver and walked to the east end of the second row of prisons. While handing it to the two jailers standing there, he said, "Two brothers, I have come here to visit the two prisoners in the fourth room." This is a little meaning, and I hope to laugh at it!
Stirring the broken silver, the two jailers squeezed out a smile and said: "Eldest sister, let's just "be respectful rather than obey your fate". Go ahead!
When Chen Xiaocui heard this, she turned around and walked to the door of the fourth room. I saw that there were only two jailers standing there. Suddenly, she felt as if a big stone had been moved in her heart, and the "whoosh" was gone all of a sudden!
She immediately pulled out two more small packets of broken silver and walked to the door of the fourth room. They were handed to the hands of the two jailers. accompanied by a smiling face and said: Two brothers, a little meaning. Please bear with me!
Looking at the small bag of broken silver in their hands, the two jailers smiled and said, "Sister, go and come back quickly." You can't make it difficult for both of us!
Hearing this, Chen Xiaocui rushed in like an arrow from Xuan. His eyes immediately swept over every prisoner in the cage!
There were some prisoners inside, and they swept towards her as if they had made an appointment. When they realized that it was not their relatives and friends, they all sighed and complained: Hey, it didn't come to see me. We're happy! Hey, why hasn't anyone come to see us lately?
Finally seeing the cage of her father-in-law and husband, Chen Xiaocui hurriedly ran over and took out two pairs of chopsticks from the bamboo bucket, and took out a bottle of spirits and four lotus leaf bags and handed them in. smiled and said: Father-in-law, Qilin, I know that the food in prison is not good. I made fish, meat, shrimp, and chicken, and you can eat it.
When Wan Peng heard this, he couldn't wait to take the chopsticks and spread out the four lotus leaf bags. Wan Qilin opened the liquor bottle, and the two of them drank and ate food happily!
At this time, Chen Xiaocui said slowly: Father-in-law, Qilin, and Sister Yinfeng followed Sister Jinhua to the capital to play. Didn't you two meet her in the capital?
Hearing this, Wan Qilin gritted his teeth and said: Xiaocui, if that woman is willing to ask her brother-in-law Li Yunlong. Say a few kind words in front of the emperor for us, and the emperor will definitely look at his own son-in-law. Let us live!
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shout at the woman in front of him: Xiaocui, she didn't do it. Now, we don't know when our heads will fall off! Please don't mention her name today!
Chen Xiaocui really didn't expect that what he heard was these words. I didn't expect that these heartless words would pop out of my husband's mouth!
Thinking of this, she said in disbelief: Kirin, I remember the old days. You are the most pampered sister Wang! These words must have been joking with me, right?
Unexpectedly, Wan Qilin shouted angrily: Xiaocui, tell you not to mention that woman again. Why do you just "which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned"? When did you become incomprehensible?
Seeing this, Wan Pengju punched his son hard. angrily blamed: Qilin, it's not Xiao Cui who makes you unhappy. She kindly cooked delicious food for us to eat and brought spirits for us to drink. What are you yelling at her?
As he spoke, he turned to his daughter-in-law outside the cage and said, "Xiaocui, Wang Yinfeng has severed relations with Qilin in the capital. She also said that she would kill the fetus in her womb and remarry. Therefore, he has been very uncomfortable in his heart. For the sake of us and him, it's good for you, don't worry about him anymore!
When Chen Xiaocui heard this, her eyes immediately opened and she exclaimed: Oh, Sister Lin also divided the property between her and the child who was about to be born. also hired a carriage and bodyguards to send the family property and her dowry maid Xiaolian back to the palace of Morning Glory Town, Huayang County, southern Jiangsu! Sister Yinfeng, everyone in our Wanfu is usually good to her? How could she get rid of the fetus that was about to be born in two months?
Speaking of this, she felt that her heart was as painful as being burned by a "knife and fire". She rubbed her heart and said with tears in her eyes: Oh, they all say "mother and son are connected". Tiger poison, but still does not eat children. With this love of flesh and blood, how can Sister Yinfeng give up her heart?
Hearing this, Wan Qilin dropped his chopsticks and said angrily: Xiaocui, if you mention that woman again. I'm going to die in this prison right now!
As he spoke, he made the appearance that he was going to hit the wall. Frightened, Chen Xiaocui hurriedly said: Qilin, don't be like this. I don't mention her!
As soon as her words landed, Wan Pengju shouted outside: Brother Jailer, I am Cage 6. Please take a piece of paper and a brush, I want to write a suicide note!
Hearing this, the jailer said impatiently outside: "Oh, the down-and-out Master Wan who is locked up in the No. 6 cage. It is said that the gold and silver treasures he left for home use have been divided among the three old ladies and several daughters-in-law. What kind of suicide note did he write, and what was the use?
Another jailer smiled and said, "People, you always have to explain something before you die." He asked for a paper inkstone and a brush, just send it to him!
As soon as the words landed, a young man ran to the front of cage 6 with paper and brushes. Seeing Chen Xiaocui at a glance, he couldn't help but say in surprise: Hey, this eldest sister. Are they the ones you are going to visit? You actually cried tears for them, who are you?
When Wan Peng heard this, he hurriedly said: Brother jailer, she is our niece. Seeing that there was no one in our mansion, we cooked four dishes for us to enjoy before we died!
Hearing this, the jailer handed the paper and brush to Wan Pengju. To put it mildly: uncle, you can only write a few key words. It is stipulated that death row inmates are not allowed to be visited by relatives and friends. This eldest sister has been in for a long time, in case the boss meets someone visiting you. We just can't eat this and walk around!
As soon as the words popped out, he turned and left. Wan Pengju immediately buried his head in writing, and after a while, he raised his head and folded the two notes and handed them to Chen Xiaocui. He lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Cui, leave Wanfu and go to another place to see the contents of the note." Remember!
As soon as his words landed, Wan Qilin also confessed like a mosquito: Xiaocui, I couldn't stand you when I was young before. I think you want to give all your share of the family property to your mother's family as we die. Let them take you and my descendants to live in a foreign land!
Speaking of this, he gritted his teeth and said: Xiaocui, if you leave Wanfu, you will go to the palace of Morning Glory Town, Huayang County, southern Jiangsu. Take back the family property that Lin Xiaoyuan gave to Wang Yinfeng, and keep it for your future living expenses!
At this time, the two jailers urged in unison: That eldest sister, the head is probably coming soon. You'd better hurry up and leave!
Wan Peng raised his eyes and hurriedly handed the paper inkstone and brush to Chen Xiaocui. smiled and said: Xiaocui, everything you want to say is written on paper. Let's go!
Hearing this, Chen Xiaocui stuffed the note into his arms. Then, he took out his handkerchief and wiped the tears from his cheeks a few times. squeezed out a smile to comfort the pair of men and sons in front of him: father-in-law, Qilin, Wang Yuanwai is an upright and kind person. He would never agree to his daughter having her baby in her womb, so you don't have to worry about it at all. Just set your mind and enjoy the rest of the day!
As soon as the words landed, she bent down and picked up the bamboo bucket. Gritting his teeth, he restrained his sad emotions, turned around and left the prison and ran out of the county gate. Tears were like "floods that opened the floodgates", scrambling to squeeze out of her eyes!
