Chapter Eighty-Eight: Imprisonment
[Chapter 4, Volume 4]
Section 427
Lai Qinniang had Mo Binwei remind, racking her brains to figure out how to attract Wei Changying's attention after arriving in Xiliang, it was best to make this lady from a beautiful background dare not underestimate herself, so that she could be more sure to persuade her.
It's just that she thought about it a lot, but she didn't expect that she had just stepped into Xiliang City, and before she could find the gate of Ming Peitang, she was taken down, and she was not interrogated, and she was directly taken into prison.
Mo Binwei, who was traveling with him, was taken to see Shen Zangfeng......
Although Lai Qinniang was born recklessly, she was also spoiled. Because she has been by her father-in-law Ji Gu for many years, she has been taught by Ji Gu like a daughter, it can be said that she is both civil and military, and she was born beautiful, and she has always regarded herself very highly. This is also the reason why thousands of people in the Mengshan Gang were in the Mengshan Gang, but none of them could enter her eyes, until she happened to meet Wei Xinyong, who was born and looked good, and the city government could be called a leader in the sea, so she was willing to use it.
After entering the city, seeing a team of Xiliang troops surrounding her, there was no room for turning around to put shackles on her, Lai Qinniang was shocked and angry - how could she bear such humiliation according to her temperament? At the moment, she pressed her hand on the sword and waited to resist, but Mo Binwei reminded her lightly: "Don't forget that Brother Ling is still in the hands of the Shen family!" ”
Lai Qinniang heard what he meant by saying this, Xiliang was the territory of the Shen family, and it was better to be well-behaved on other people's territory. Even though she is strong and does not hesitate to burn jade, the question is, the Shen family has done this, will they care about her burning jade?
She didn't come to Xiliang specifically to show the Shen family......
Lai Qinniang is not a person who does not know the general situation, she was mentioned by Mo Binwei, and after calming down, she was no longer reconciled, so she still let these soldiers put shackles on her and be sent to the prison of Xiliang Mansion.
But what she didn't expect was that the soldiers put shackles on her, and they didn't just hold Yu Zhong hostage and take them to Mingpeitang like they did to Mo Binwei. Instead, he was sent to prison with a swagger.
The people in Xiliang City saw a young girl wearing a flail, and they were very curious to come up and watch. Even if Lai Qinniang is a bandit, she is also the second leader of the Mengshan Gang, how majestic is it, how many times has she ever fallen into such a situation? It's okay to be watched by others, and there are even naughty children who are ignorant, picking up vegetable leaves and gravel at random and smashing them on her body and head, and there are scoundrels who see her beauty and use foul language to tease......
Lai Qinniang was so ashamed that she was ashamed of herself, until she was put into prison, chained, and imprisoned in the women's prison, she trembled with anger, and her whole body was extremely cold and hot.
Rao is Lai Qinniang kept warning herself to be calm, but the blood flow in her body couldn't stop for a long time - until she noticed that someone was vigorously tugging at her hair.
“…… Little Girl...... Fox face...... Certainly...... Stealing people's ......" Lai Qinniang, who was not in a calm mood, only vaguely heard a few words, and had not yet reacted to her situation, when she suddenly heard the sound of the wind, she learned a martial art in the gang, and instinctively raised her hand to block a slap on the head.
…… Only then did I see clearly that there was a tall, fat woman standing in front of her, grabbing her hair with one hand and pressing it down, and the other hand was blocked by her, scolding and trying to do it again.
"Even a shrew dares to bully me!" Lai Qinniang couldn't help but be furious!
Although she is now wearing chains, this woman is relaxed, but what is the difference between the two skills, Lai Qinniang's eyes are fierce, and the palm of the arm that held the woman's slap suddenly turned her wrist, only to hear a gentle click, the woman has not yet woken up, she has felt that her arm hurts like a break, and she can't help but scream as if killing a pig!
"What a little girl, she stole people and went to prison, and she dared to fight people!" It's just that the woman was so painful that she loosened Lai Qinniang's hair and covered her arms and retreated, but she immediately screamed, causing the female prisoners in this cell to force Lai Qinniang one after another!
After a while, the sound of ping-pong could be heard on the left and right, across the neighborhood, and in the nearby cells, and the women inside scolded, cursed, and begged for mercy...... It's very lively.
This excitement was reported to Wei Changying by 1510, Wei Changying bowed slightly, and said, "Let her stay there for two days first, so as not to continue to be dishonest." ”
Zhu Yi said with a smile: "When the maid heard that this Lai was arrested and imprisoned, he was dressed up brightly and neatly. I don't know that her brother has been detained by us, and he came from a neighboring state, not to mention thousands of miles, from Taohua County, to our Xiliang City, there are always more than 100 miles away, she still has this mind, not stained with the slightest dust......"
When Wei Changying heard this, she became more and more sure that Lai Qinniang must have a lover, so she had no time to take care of her brother. I'm afraid that I will come immediately after receiving the news this time, and it is also for the sake of the lover's plan - walking with the lover, how can any woman not pay more attention to etiquette? asked casually: "Then Mo Binwei saw that she was arrested and imprisoned, what did she say?" ”
"Listening to the soldiers who took people in the past, Mo Binwei has been silent."
Wei Changying sighed, thinking that maybe Mo Binwei didn't mean anything to Lai Qinniang, but he just needed the Mengshan Gang for his own plan, so he acted on the spot. She thought for a while and ordered: "Lai Qinniang and Mo Binwei came to Xiliang to tell Lai Dayong and Mu Chunmian, if they want to intercede, they will all be stopped." If you want to visit the prison, you can only let Mu Chunmian go. ”
Zhu Yi answered, and asked curiously: "Why did the young lady allow them to visit the prison?" In case they pass on some message......"
"No matter what Ji Gu said, he is also the uncle of Doctor Ji, and Doctor Ji is now such an elder, how many years have he been thinking about it." Wei Changying sighed, "Two days ago, I received a letter from my grandmother, saying that my mother's father is now well. Speaking of which, it all depends on the magic hand of Ji Shen, so I naturally want to repay the favor and protect some Ji family...... I'm afraid the things here of the Mengshan Gang are not simple! ”
Zhu Yi kept these words in his heart, unloaded his errand that night, and went home to tell his mother, who entrusted the servants who were waiting in Ji Yuan among the sons of the family, and passed the words to Ji Gu's ears.
Ji Gu touched the bamboo wrench on his thumb and said to his daughter Mu Chunmian: "Since Mrs. Wei has spoken, you can go to the women's prison tomorrow to explore the rebellious girl!" ”
Mu Chunmian is several years older than Lai Qinniang, and this righteous sister can be regarded as her eldest child, because she has no brothers and sisters, and she has always loved Lai Qinniang very much and regarded her as a fellow sister. Listening to his father's words at this moment, he frowned and said, "Qin Niang was imprisoned as soon as she arrived in Xiliang, can't my father save her?" ”
"Now it's too late for Lao Tzu to save himself, how can he take care of her?" When Ji Gu heard this, his eyes rolled and he said with a strange smile, "She caused such trouble for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu simply wanted to clean up the portal by himself!" What if she's locked up?! ”
Mu Chunmian was slightly taken aback, and said, "Qin Niang, she ...... What's going on? ”
"How does Lao Tzu know?" Ji Gu said viciously, "But it's not a trivial matter, otherwise Mrs. Wei needs to borrow someone's mouth to ask you to visit the prison, so as to find out what she has participated in, so that we can atone for our crimes?" ”
"Atonement?" Mu Chunmian thought for a moment, and said with a slight change of color, "Mrs. Wei asked someone to turn around and say this, is that what you mean?" ”
Ji Gu sneered and said, "Otherwise, what do you think?" Lao Tzu has also lived in Xiliang for a few days, Mrs. Wei and Shen Zangfeng are quite affectionate, Lao Tzu doesn't know about this Ming Peitang matter, and she can make decisions alone. If it weren't for the big event, she thought she wouldn't be able to protect us, and she was afraid that she would not be able to explain the illness and remind us? ”
Mu Chunmian gasped and said, "Qin Niang, what did she do?!" "Because the Mengshan Gang has been active in the Mengshan Mountains in the territory of Guanzhou Prefecture, they have never been to the territory of Xiliang. Mu Chunmian thought that the biggest mistake Lai Qinniang made this time was that she shouldn't have left Ji Gu without telling her, and made her own opinions...... But she didn't want her to offend Ji Gu and second, but she actually hated Shen Zangfeng even more!
Listening to Ji Gu's meaning, the trouble caused by Lai Qinniang is likely to affect Ji Gu and Mu Chunmian's father and daughter, and this kind of impact even Shen Zangfeng's wife Wei Changying feels a little tricky, so he deliberately revealed his tone to the maids and asked them to do something to atone for their sins, so that Wei Changying could speak for them.
Ji Gu said angrily to his daughter's question: "This is what you want to ask when you go to visit her!" Lao Tzu knows that Qin Niang's money-losing goods were brought up by you, and you will inevitably be a little ruthless with her! It's just that don't forget that we still have a small money-losing product in our family, and that's your own! Although Lao Tzu can't talk about your mother and daughter, what Lao Tzu gave birth to himself is not the same as the righteous son and righteous daughter he accepted...... What you want to do, you can do it yourself! ”
When it comes to her only daughter, Mu Chunmian can't care about any sisterhood - her daughter is more important than her sister, she hurried to the women's prison, got the order of Wei Changying, and sure enough, the guards let her in very happily.
Mu Chunmian was led to the cell where Lai Qinniang was being held, and when the guard opened the door, she looked inside and couldn't help but be surprised!
But I saw that there were nearly twenty female prisoners lying in this cell, and there was almost no place to stay. The smell of such a place is naturally complicated, not to mention that there is a commode directly set up in the corner of the cell, and it seems to be overflowing. But there were still people lying next to the commode...... I could hear the door open, but no one moved.
In this group of unkempt female prisoners, Mu Chunmian couldn't find his righteous sister who had always loved cleanliness.
When the guards shouted Lai Qinniang's name in the court, a woman in a tattered dress jumped up and cried and pounced on Mu Chunmian: "Eldest sister! ”
“…… Jean Niang! Mu Chunmian looked at Lai Qinniang, who had a broken cloak and torn clothes, a lot of dirt on her face, and a few nail scratches - Lai Qinniang was so smart when she was a child, and Ji Gu taught her the elegant things that she couldn't think of in the countryside, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Not only cultivated her city government bearing, but also cultivated her proud heart, Lai Qinniang has had very high requirements for her appearance since she was a child, and because of the limited conditions in Caojiabao, she can only be neat and refreshing.
When she arrived in the Mengshan Gang, Lai Qinniang went all the way to pay attention to it.
Just like Zhu Yi privately told Wei Changying, the only brother was detained in Xiliang City, Lai Qinniang rushed over after receiving the news, all the way to the dust, and actually returned the dress brightly, which shows the degree of exquisiteness.
Mu Chunmian never thought that she had only been in this women's prison for one night, and she would be embarrassed to look like a prisoner who had been locked up here for an unknown amount of time......
