"So far, there's nothing you can't say, just don't say it, otherwise you won't have the face to see my master, alas...... , it's already like this, it's still gone. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Peony Yao'er closed her eyes, slowed down for a moment, opened her eyes, seemed to be difficult to speak, and said with great difficulty,

"The man took hold of me and demanded that I confess my sins, because he ...... Know me...... And others have, there are ......"

In the last few words, Peony Yao'er used all her strength and didn't say it.

When Wang Miao heard this, she didn't need her to say it.

In this era, what is more important to a woman than death? -- naturally it is her "honor"!

Wang Miao was silent for a moment, and then asked her, "Did you do it voluntarily or forced?"

"No, I'm not that kind of woman, and I'm also killed. ”

Peony Yao'er hurriedly raised her face to distinguish it, and after a while, she lowered her head again, and tears gradually appeared in her eyes, and tears slowly left behind the corners of her eyes.

The shackles in her heart are being ruthlessly opened by herself, and the hidden scars are cruelly revealed, revealing the unbearable memories hidden behind her.

"It was two years ago, coinciding with the first birthday of my Lin'er, the old man went far away, I took the maid, went to the temple to incense my Lin'er, asked for peace, to the temple, I was worshipping the Buddha in the main hall, Jueyuan that lewd monk came.

He said that our family is a good family, every year to the temple to donate incense money, merit is immeasurable, in order to thank, the abbot of the temple to personally open the light to give me peace charms, and said that the apse is the Buddha gate, usually women are not allowed to enter, today is special, but can only let me go in alone, I am naturally happy to hear, this temple is a place I often come to, I know the monks of all sizes, and there is no defense, so I went to the apse with him alone, I didn't expect to enter the meditation room, waited for a while, and did not see the abbot, but then I don't know how...... , I slowly fell asleep, and then ......"

Peony couldn't cry when she said this, and her face was full of tears.

"So that's the case, it turned out to be Juekong, no wonder you were so surprised to see him that day. Wang Miao suddenly realized, and then asked, "What happened to this matter?

"Where do I dare to tell the lord about this, if the lord knows about this matter, whether he reports it to the official or not, the lord will definitely kill this monk, maybe this temple will also be implicated, but if I do this, the world will know about it afterwards, I am not afraid of death, I am afraid that this reputation will be bad, the Hu family is also losing face, and being poked in the back every day, what can we do in the future? If I hadn't let go of my Lin'er, I would have died a long time ago." ”

Wang Miao waited for her mood to stabilize a little, and then asked, "How did that person know, and how did he threaten you?"

Peony wiped the tears on her face, thought slowly for a while, and replied,

"I thought that no one knew about it, and I never went to the temple again, and I didn't hear any rumors, so it was until now, until that day, after Li Escort went to report to the official, I sat alone in the room and guarded the master, and the others were outside, as if someone was guarding the main hall, and they would look at the door from time to time.

"I don't know when, I was still in a trance, I didn't see who it was, threw a white cloth wrapped in a stone and smashed it on me, I thought someone was kind enough to wipe my tears, take it and take a look, there are blood words on it, crooked, a little vague, to the effect that I still understand, that is, I want to confess that I am the murderer of the master, otherwise it will reveal the matter of me and Juekong, once such ugly things are revealed, it is still the same to die, and it will be stinking for 10,000 years after death, let me consider it myself.

"At first, I thought it was Juekong, so I went out to see him, and asked others, but I didn't expect that several people in the main hall said that Juekong had been chanting in the opposite room, and he never came out. ”

"I was stunned, I was discouraged, guessed, I didn't know who it was, and there was no other way, I could only do what he said, after I arrived at the court, I recruited, I couldn't think of anything for the reason for the killing, I could only make it up, and the government also believed it, so I was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn. ”

Wang Miao pondered, stood up and paced back and forth, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Is that handkerchief still there?"

"Yes, I've always kept it. ”

Peony Yao'er took out a piece of white cloth, and the blood words on the white cloth had already turned black and red, and there was no trace of it.

Wang Miao stretched out her hand and looked at it for a while, and asked if Peony could give it to him, but Peony felt useless, so she gave it to him, Wang Miao originally wanted to ask her about Hu Shanren and Jinzi, but after thinking about it, she stopped asking.

The kind words comforted her a few words, probably meaning that she could wait here with peace of mind, and he would give her an explanation in a few days.

was about to leave, and halfway through, Wang Miao turned around and asked her again: "Can you recognize whose words it is?"

"I don't recognize it, but I know of someone who probably didn't write it. ”

"Oh......?"

The two said a few more words, Wang Miao nodded, turned around and left the dungeon.

――――

On the morning of the ninth day, in a single room.

Escort Zhao sat on a bench, humming a little song comfortably, drinking wine without a sip, and throwing a peanut in his mouth from time to time, which was really refreshing, like a suspect being detained.

"It's more comfortable than at home, and there are people to help guard the door, beauty, it's good to have money!" he thought to himself.

"Lord Wang, why are you here, hey...... , Lord Wang, you wait, ouch, this big brother, you tap!"

The sound of the cell boss sounded at the door, and I heard a "bang".

A man with half of his face led a group of officials, kicked the door open, grabbed the cell leader's neck, and swaggered in.

Escort Zhao almost didn't fall off the stool, and quickly knelt on the ground, bowing his head and not daring to speak.

A pair of feet with black boots on a white background circled around him back and forth, and Zhao Huwei's head was lowered, counting the ants on the ground intently.

"I said, you can, you can give up your house to the prisoners, where do you live?

"My lord said and laughed, didn't you confess that each suspect should be held separately to prevent them from colluding in confessions, no, there are not enough single cells, and the subordinates can only squeeze in with other brothers, and vacate this house as a temporary prison to detain the suspects. ”

You Tou was let go, and quickly nodded and explained.

"Oh...... This kind of self-sacrificing spirit of You Tou deserves to be commended, you look at you, you all learn hard! Look at how people You Tou does. ”

Wang Miao pointed to a group of officials.

The errand followers immediately laughed, everyone knows this kind of thing, maybe they have done it, as long as they are not caught by their bosses, they are happy to see other people's jokes.

"Well, yes, yes, there is wine and food, huh...... Youtou, this is not right, you can't do it well, we have to do all the service if we want to do it, all vegetarian dishes like what, go, order meat dishes. ”

Half of his face actually sat down on the stool, looked at the wine and food on the table, it was not too dirty, and he picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.

"Bah, what kind of bad wine, how can this kind of bad wine be drunk, You Tou, change it for me, these are all changed on the table, give me a good table of noodles, a few pots of good wine, two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, don't heat the dish, be fast!"

"My lord, you have spared ......"

A wine bowl fell over.

"Yes, yes, my subordinates will do it immediately, and I will do it immediately. You Tou didn't dare to say more, and ran out.

It didn't take long for Zhao Escort to feel that his knees were not sore, and a few people came in, cleaned up the table quickly, and set it up again.

"My lord, this is a good cold seat from Juxian Lou, how do you taste it, and if it doesn't suit the taste, I will change the table for you immediately. You Tou said with a flattering smile.

"Well, yes, the taste is okay, that's it, you all go down, I want to talk to Zhao Guard. ”

I tasted half of the black boots' face, and probably thought it was okay, and there was no trouble.

The officials in the small county town are used to it, and they know that this Lord Wang likes this tune, so they came up to lock the Zhao guard without saying a word, but they saw Lord Wang waving his hand,

"This is locked, how can I drink and talk to Escort Zhao? You can just watch from the outside. ”

The servants are helpless, the official is crushed to death, this is more than one level away, I don't know how many levels, anyway, even the county magistrate has to listen to him, not to mention that they are little ants, they can only do it at the moment, and they all go out with a hula la by the neck of You Tou.
