Chapter 176: Sin Deserved

Xiao Wan's eyes were shining, with a little tears, but she was happy, she was kissed by Ling Chaofeng, her face was flushed, lined with white and tender skin, and she was lovely.

She asked, "Shopkeeper, I have always wanted to ask, did you come to the river at sunset, did you happen to pass by, or did you come to me on purpose?" ”

"I'm not saying that the first time I saw you, I never forgot it." Ling Chaofeng smiled and asked Xiaowan rhetorically, "What do you say?" ”

"I want to hear what the shopkeeper has to say."

"Shopkeeper?."

Xiao Wanjiao shyly snorted: "People's ...... Not married to you yet. ”

Ling Chaofeng smiled: "So what did you call me on the mountain that day?" ”

Xiao Wan was embarrassed, his body was tense, it turned out that he heard it?

"I don't know ......why," Xiaowan timidly wanted to explain, "Shopkeeper, don't misunderstand me, I am, I am ......"

But how to explain this, is it involuntary to say to others, but why can't it be involuntarily, Ling Chaofeng hadn't confessed to her at that time, did she think she was so likeable? Shame on you?

"We rode home like this, and I always felt like I had been there." Ling Chaofeng spoke, and said gently and lovingly, "I don't feel strange to hear the voice you shouting on the mountain that day. Sooner or later, maybe our fate has long been doomed, don't you say? ”

"The shopkeeper's ......" Xiaowan was moved, this man, even this little thing, was reluctant to let her get down the steps, and he didn't want her to be embarrassed.

Ling Chaofeng lowered his head and kissed Xiaowan on the face, he couldn't put it down: "I like to listen, I was so happy that day, I couldn't wait to confess to you, but fortunately it didn't scare you." In the evening, when Uncle Biao goes to pick up Aunt Zhang, we will get married immediately, and tomorrow Lord Liang comes, we will go to Yamen to naturalize. ”

"Hmm." Xiao Wan leaned firmly into his arms and told him that the scars on his body looked scary, but it didn't hurt much today, but Ling Chaofeng smiled deeply, "Before getting married, you will definitely be able to get better." ”

Xiao Wan knew what he meant, hehe smirked, and softly shouted "Xianggong", Ling Chaofeng was very happy and asked her to shout again, Xiao Wan refused, saying that she had to worship the church, and the two laughed all the way back home.

However, at this moment, in the capital, after the former subordinates of Bifu confessed, they opened the coffin and examined the bones, and confirmed that the original Mrs. Bi was poisoned and died.

According to the confession of the subordinate, it is the same method as now, poisoning the tea and rice of the original Mrs. Bi every day, and unconsciously accumulating day by day. Gradually, it was the wife who contracted the disease and died in the end, and even the doctor who treated the lady at that time was also found and arrested, and they were all accomplices.

But the person behind the scenes is undoubtedly Mrs. Bi today.

Prime Minister Bi Cheng also went to the Yamen, and he indifferently said that he knew nothing about these matters and asked them to investigate according to the law.

In this way, at the moment when he returned home, the official came to arrest him with shackles and shackles.

This time, it was no longer politely asking Mrs. Bi to cooperate with the interrogation, but to formally identify her as a suspect and arrest her for trial.

The dignified wife of the prime minister, the daughter of the dignified marquis, has been clothed and fed all her life, and she has never suffered half a penny, who would have thought that one day she would be shackled.

She was taken out of the house by the officials, and the shackles on her feet made a sound of dragging on the ground, and all of a sudden, the servants in the house trembled, and they all knelt down and cried and begged to let their wives go.

But Mrs. Bi knew that they were only for show, and if she died and her husband married another woman, they would soon forget that she had ever existed in the house, just as they had forgotten that woman had so quickly.

After all, she didn't even have hope for her husband and her own son.

Her man only begs that he will not be implicated, even if she goes to the guillotine immediately, as long as he is not involved. And her son even helped outsiders to catch witnesses.

Her retribution is not the East Window incident, not the fact that she was taken away from everything by the industry, but the betrayal of her relatives.

"Mother...... Mother......" Hanxi cried and broke through the barriers of the grandmothers, and threw herself in front of her mother to hug her, "I don't want you to go, mother, I don't want you to go." ”

"Xi'er ......" God finally left her the last bit of warmth, but it was hopeless warmth, her daughter was a weak woman, what could she do, she couldn't do anything but cry.

"Let's go!" The official has seen a lot of this kind of scene, and he doesn't care about anyone's tears at all, so he urged Mrs. Bi to go on the road immediately, and forcibly dragged her away in front of the whole house.

"Don't take my mother away, don't take my mother away......" Hanxi was stopped by her subordinates, she struggled desperately, but watched her mother being dragged out.

Finally broke free, she rushed to the door, but met her brother returning from outside, he also stopped him, and said: "Xi'er, if you entangle again, you will only hurt your mother." ”

Bi Hanxi glared at his brother angrily, trembling all over, and suddenly slapped his brother in the face, hatefully: "What kind of son are you, Bi Zhenye, you are still not human......"

Bi Zhenye hugged his sister, Hanxi's body twitched, and after many days of emotional ups and downs, her delicate body finally couldn't support it, and she fainted in her brother's arms.

When Hanxi woke up, everything had already come to fruition.

Mrs. Bi did not struggle, as soon as she arrived in court, she confessed to all the crimes, and said that it had nothing to do with her husband and children, and it was all her fault.

Spoiled the concubine and killed his wife, and then attempted to murder his son-in-law, which led to his abduction and trafficking, and many years later, he planned to poison his son-in-law's wife and cause her to miscarry, and implicated innocent people in poisoning.

When Hanxi went to the study to find his father, he heard his doorman tell him that his wife was going to be more auspicious and less auspicious, and the worst was a capital crime, and at least she was assigned to the frontier, and it could not be redeemed no matter what.

And the father just said coldly: "She deserves what she did by herself." ”

Hanxi looked up and saw her brother coming, she smiled sadly, walked past her brother, Bi Zhenye called her, she stopped, and said coldly: "I won't trouble you, if my mother dies, I will go to the temple to be a nun, for her to spend her soul and eliminate sinful karma." If my mother is assigned, I will follow her and serve her along the way. ”

"Xi'er ......"

"I know, you want to say that my mother deserves it, right?" Han Xi choked, "I also know that if you do something wrong, you will be punished, and I also know that my brother's mother and children are innocent." But she is my mother, no matter what, I will not leave her alone, I can't change anything, but what I can do, I will try my best to do. As for you, as for Daddy, I didn't count on it for a long time. ”

However, Mrs. Bi's sentence will not come down so quickly, involving human life, it must be reported layer by layer, if it is sentenced to death, the emperor will have to finally approve it, if the emperor feels that it is inappropriate, he will naturally overturn the case and retry it.

The days of waiting for the trial may still have some hope of luck for other prisoners, but for a person like Mrs. Bi, who is pampered and has been bent on death, life in the prison is better than death.

The same torture, in Baisha County, fell on the heads of Xu and Wang, and their cases were tried much faster, and both were sentenced to three years in prison.

Three years may not seem like a long time, but they have been expelled from Qingling Village, and even if they can get out of the prison alive after three years, they don't know where to go.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and when Foreman Mu hurried back to Baisha County, Xu was already in prison.

The two children in the family relied on the inn to send some food every now and then to live, and then Ling Chaofeng simply used the silver, specially found a family, and cooked a bite for them to eat every day.

Both children were thin, dirty, and their homes were dirty, messy, and smelly.

Foreman Mu sat on the threshold in a daze, and the people of the Wang family next door built a mud wall at some point, blocking all the places that could see each other through the fence.

On this day, he came to the Lingxiao Inn alone, stood in front of the inn, hesitated and didn't dare to enter the door.

Pei'er ran out, saw him, and ran back to find the adult, and everyone found that Foreman Mu was coming.

"Dad didn't know you were here, otherwise I would have come to see you when I passed by that day." Foreman Mu said with a wry smile.

He sat at the table and watched his brightly dressed daughter pour tea for herself, her skin on her face was white and red, and she was wearing a crimson dress, which was very beautiful.

He always knew that his daughter looked good, but in the past, Xiaowan was dressed in tatters, and her face was pale and skinny, how could she compare with now.

Su Su brought two futons and placed them in front of Foreman Mu, and Ling Chaofeng took Xiaowan and kowtowed to Foreman Mu.

They have already been naturalized in the Yamen, and they are husband and wife, so they sent their relatives to the church to get married. But it is estimated that when the happy event is held, Foreman Mu will not come, so the young couple will kowtow to their father now.

With tears in his eyes, Foreman Mu stretched out his hand to support his daughter, and choked up: "Evening, dad is sorry for you, in the future, you will follow the shopkeeper Ling and live a good life." ”

Xiao Wan suddenly felt that the scene in front of her seemed familiar, as if her father had said such things to her a long time ago.

She said: "Daddy, don't say that, you raised me, if anything happens in the future, just come to me and your son-in-law." ”

Foreman Mu understood that he was not qualified to dictate his daughter's affairs, and he was about to leave, but Su Su saw Daqing passing by, so he asked the prime minister to send Uncle Mu home.

Daqing came back and said that Xiaowan's house was surrounded by walls and looked very desolate.

Xiaowan said ruthlessly: "Although my father has to go out to work, he has indeed been hiding all his life, and everything now is caused by himself." I'll support him, and I won't care about anything else. ”

And in a few days, Uncle Biao should go to Beijing to pick up Aunt Zhang home, counting the days, if they go home sooner, the verdict of Mrs. Bi in the capital should also come down.

In the capital, his mother was detained for several days, and Bi Hanxi came to wander outside the yamen every day, but his mother didn't see him, and the jailers couldn't let her in casually.

Today, the cold tide came again, and promised the jailers a lot of silver, begging them to let them see their mothers.

"Miss Bi, it's not that we won't let you see you, your mother said that no one will see you." The jailer returned the silver to Han Xi, "Miss Bi, please don't trouble us." ”
