Chapter 41: Behind Bars
"And! What does it mean that an unmarried woman is shameless when she goes out and shows her head? Do you have a daughter? Do you have a wife or concubine?
Even if you don't, you have a mother, and if one day someone else insults your mother, wife and daughter indiscriminately, how do you feel! ”
She approached the scholar step by step, and the cold light in her eyes seemed to tear him apart, "Besides, I am a Nanchu and open-minded, and what law stipulates that unmarried women are not allowed to engage in business!"
Even today's saints encourage women to be hired as female officials through scientific examinations, so my Nanchu's female daughters have emerged in an endless stream through the ages, and Empress Wei was a model of motherhood when she was alive!
During the drought in the adult years, her old man once took out millions of snowflakes and silver from her dowry and personally went to the streets to give disaster relief for three days and three nights.
Wouldn't it be a great disrespect to my Empress Nanchu and the current saint when you say this!? ”
The spectators on the side listened to it one by one, and they also missed the queen of the generation whose mind and bearing were by no means inferior to any man, and then they thought of their wives and daughters, and they couldn't help but empathize.
Some of these women also applauded Sun Yunniang, and there were tears in their eyes, and someone finally justified the name of a self-reliant and self-reliant woman.
They neither steal nor rob, they do not depend on others to survive independently, why should they be treated so unfairly.
So everyone stared at the initiator in unison.
The scholar in Tsing Yi, who was already stunned by such a big hat as the insulted queen, finally reacted, and quickly explained: "I, I, I didn't mean that, she spewed blood, don't listen to her nonsense!" ”
Just as the wind turned to Sun Yunniang, a loud shout came from not far away, "The government is doing things!" Wait for a dry person to step aside! ”
The scholar in Tsing Yi tiptoed to see it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, finally waiting for the rescue, and looked at the bold woman with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
The crowd of spectators quickly scattered to both sides, and several green-robed officials with knives swaggered over, looking up at the shop in front of them, "Sun's hot pot restaurant!" This is it, dare to ask if Sun Yunniang is there. ”
Before Sun Yunniang could answer, the scholar couldn't wait to jump out and pointed at the other party with his finger, "She! That's her! These people on the ground just ate their stomachs at her house, and now their lives are dying! Throw her in prison and lock her up! No, she should be hanged directly! ”
The official who took the lead had a beard on his face, a lump of horizontal flesh appeared between his cheekbones, and he glared at the scholar fiercely, "Did I ask you just now?" And how should she judge that she is the county magistrate? What are you? Get lost! ”
A mouthful of phlegm spat on the scholar's robe, but he still agreed resignedly, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
"The people's daughter Sun is here, I don't know what the official is doing." Sun Yunniang lowered her eyelashes and saluted, pressing a trace of anxious emotion into the corners of her eyes.
This lady's sonorous and powerful rebuttal just now has been heard from afar, but she has a bit of a woman's bearing, and she speaks very politely, such a righteous lady looks like a villain.
It's a pity, it must have offended someone...
The official leader lowered his voice slightly, "Sun Yunniang, someone has sued you for making and selling spoiled food, and now you have a certificate, please come with us, and don't do useless struggles, if you are not guilty, the county magistrate will not wronged you for no reason." ”
Sun Yunniang took a deep breath, her eyebrows narrowed slightly, and her face turned a little pale, although this Xiuwen County Ya is not far from Qingyan Town, but even if it is after reporting to the officials and going through the process, it will take half an hour for the officials to rush here.
All this happened so logically, everything was stuck on the point, no one believed it if she was not tired, if she was obedient and went to the county office, wouldn't it be easy to beat her into a trick.
But now that she can come up with any way to get out, her mind is finally a little messy.
"Come on, shackles!"
Hearing the official shout, a young catcher behind him suddenly walked up and whispered in his ear: "Head, the little girl of sixteen or seventeen, can't run away, and she hasn't been convicted yet, or she still won't wear it?" It looks a little like Cui'er..."
The official leader squeezed his brows vigorously, and wrinkled his eyebrows into a Sichuan character, Cui'er is his daughter, and she is indeed the same size as this woman.
finally sighed, and said in a deep voice: "You kid, you love to do these rotten good people's things, then you will be responsible for the escort, if you run away, you will ask!" ”
The young catcher responded with a chuckle, then walked to Sun Yunniang's side, and said softly: "Sun Niangzi, the head has promised to be free of shackles, as long as you don't resist, follow me, if you are innocent, the county government will definitely let you go." ”
This voice was low and gentle, and it was inexplicably familiar to Sun Yunniang's ears, and when she raised her eyes, this person had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he looked upright.
Although it is not as demonic as Wei Wufeng, it is also very recognizable, and it is impossible to remember it if you have seen it.
Seeing her looking at herself motionless with her dark apricot eyes, Xiao Yukuai's cheeks turned slightly red.
She must have been stunned by fright, she was obviously a delicate and delicate poor little lady, how could she be a "criminal", so she couldn't help but step forward to relieve the siege.
Sun Yunniang also heard the conversation between the two just now, nodded lightly to show her gratitude, and followed Xiao Yu out of the crowd reluctantly.
It wasn't until he was about to walk out of Qingyan Town that there was a shout from behind him.
"Sun Niangzi! Sun Niangzi! ”
She turned around quickly and looked at it, was it Zhao Si?
The chaos in my brain suddenly came to my senses!
"Official?! That's my brother, can you wait for me to explain a few words, and let him pacify the family on my behalf, just a few words. ”
Sun Yunniang opened her black and white eyes wide, there seemed to be some tears in her eyes, which seemed to have not fallen, and her lips couldn't stop trembling, looking really pitiful.
Xiao Yukuai's heart twitched fiercely, and the bearded official also shook his beard unconsciously.
With a snort, he pretended to be impatient and said, "Hurry up!" Don't be too long, we're just staring here, don't try to play any tricks! ”
Sun Yunniang finally let go of her brows, hurriedly thanked her, and turned around and ran towards Zhao Si.
At this time, there were no pitiful tears, rushed forward and grabbed Zhao Si's shoulders and lowered his voice and said: "Don't ask anything, I was framed, remember what I said now, you immediately go and help me find Yan's second sister-in-law's house at the entrance of Yanjia Village, ask her to help me close the door of the store, and then leave a letter to Brother Wang of the rice shop next door to my house. ”
Zhao Si ran out of breath, but he still tried his best to stabilize his breath, and said, "Don't worry, Sun Niangzi, you must tell me." ”
Seeing Sun Yunniang turn her head and walk away, get into the carriage of the official and leave, Zhao Si's eyes were worried.
Coincidentally, the shopkeeper of his house happened to be not in the store today, and by the time he heard that Sun Niangzi had been arrested by the officials, the hot pot restaurant was already empty.
Fortunately, he was clever, and he ran desperately towards the city gate in one breath to catch up, but now he couldn't stop breathing, so he turned around and ran towards Yanjia Village.
-------------------------------------
Along the way, because of Xiao Zhukuai's care, Sun Yunniang did not suffer much, but she was handed over to the cell head when she arrived at the county government of Xiuwen County.
I don't know if it was because of Xiao Yukuai's instructions, or because she was a weak woman, the attitude of the cell boss was not fierce, so he threw her into a separate cell in the prison and left.
The cell was cold and damp, and Sun Yunniang's hands unconsciously clenched her arms.
Unexpectedly, she not only traveled to an inexplicable different time and space, but also experienced the prison life here.
If she could go back to modern times and write an ancient prison adventure or something, maybe it would be a big hit, she couldn't help but smile wryly and shook her head.
Looking around, there was a dark stone bench and table in one corner of the cell, and in the other corner was some hay and a shiny black bedding.
The smell around is even more indescribable, in addition to the smell of sweat and fishy, there is also a strong smell of blood, there should have been a lot of deaths here, she couldn't help but shiver.
The colder it gets, the more scared it is, the more afraid it is, the more sober it becomes, do the math, Zhao Siding has already told Yan's second sister-in-law what happened, and the sister-in-law also greeted the owner of the rice shop.
Every time Wei Wufeng went out, he had a bad appetite, and occasionally asked Changshun to come back and pack some food back.
In the past, she always felt that it was a bit of a toss to go back and forth from the capital for a meal, but now she is looking forward to the son's ability to toss a little harder, if only she knew where their mansion in the capital was...
But this is just a glimmer of life, what if Changshun has not come back, it is always too risky to pin his fate on others.
You can't do nothing, wait in this prison for the traitor to frame you.
I simply sat on the stone bench, and it didn't matter if it was dirty or not, I still had to keep a clear head and sort out my thoughts at the moment.
The cell was dark, and I don't know how long it took, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, followed by a click, as if something had been placed in the door.
"It's time to eat!" A jailer threw the bowl impatiently on the floor, turned and went down the aisle across from the cell.
Sun Yunniang was really hungry at this time, so she stepped forward silently and reached out to take the bowl of prison rice from the crack in the prison door.
The brow instantly twisted into a ball.
Before this bowl of so-called "rice" was in front of me, a burst of rancid taste advanced into the nose, and then looked at the lump of soup and water inside, it seemed to be something like batter, and a few black, black, yellow and yellow lumps floated in it.
Not only is there no meat, but there is no trace of oil star, and there is a circle of black hair on the side of the bowl, is it moldy......
Sun Yunniang's stomach churned instantly, and she resisted the urge to retch, and stuffed the bowl of "rice" directly into the corner of the cell.
However, when I heard that I would be interrogated in the hall and skip meals, how would I have the strength to defend myself at that time.
Before he could get annoyed, a fishy smell suddenly wafted from the corridor of the cell.
