Chapter 70: Prison Visits
Chun Yuji and Qihua came to the county seat again, and it was already dusk.
Yangzhou County Prison is in the backyard of the county government, and they don't know the path, so they just wander around in the corridor courtyard of the county government. At this time, most of the officers of the county government had gone home, and the empty county government looked even more gloomy.
The two of them stood in the cloister hesitating in which direction to go, and just happened to come a servant, Chun Yu didn't think about it and asked, "This brother, how to get to the county prison." Qihua was taken aback and quickly flashed aside.
The man had a garment under his arm, seemed to be in a hurry to go home, and did not speak, but pointed back and hurried away.
Chun Yuji wanted to thank him, but was pulled away by Qihua and complained: "What are you doing, we came in secretly." ”
Chun Yu suddenly came to his senses, pointed to the back of the servant and said, "I asked him for directions just now." The two covered their mouths and laughed.
When they arrived in the backyard, they saw a row of houses with doors and windows equipped with fences, and two prison guards wearing red curtains and crimson clothes, with their legs tied and a rope tied around their waists, sitting on the stone steps in front of the house, giggling and not knowing what to say, and throwing the two wooden mullions aside.
Qihua whispered to Chun Yuji: "You hide here, don't come out." I'll go over and speak first, and tell you to come out and come out again. With that, Shi Shiran walked over.
The two prison guards didn't expect anyone to come here, and they didn't react for a while, but when they came to their senses, they jumped up, picked up the wooden mullion, and made a fighting stance. When he found out that it was a girl, he breathed a sigh of relief, crossed the wooden stumble and stopped in front of Qihua, and shouted with a majestic expression: "Who are you and how did you come here?" ”
Qi Hua stepped forward and said something, gesturing with both hands. Chun Yu couldn't tell the difference, but saw Qihua untie a heavy linen bundle bag from his waist, hand it to the prison guard, whispered a lot, and pointed to the row of cells.
The two prison guards also whispered a few words and nodded at Qihua. Qihua turned around and beckoned to Chun Yu a few times, signaling him to come over.
Chun Yuji walked over, still a little restrained. Qihua said: "I told the two eldest brothers, let's go in and see the little sister." ”
A prison guard nodded at Qihua and said with a smile: "Don't make a big noise when you go in, and come out in a while." We're all in charge. Chun Yu thanked him again and again. The guards opened the cell door for them to enter, and then closed the door.
It was dark in the room, and the two of them stood for a while before their eyes adjusted.
Ruoyun clasped his hands on his knees and curled up in the corner, looking sluggish.
Qihua's heart hurt so much that tears fell, he took three steps and made two steps to rush over, knelt in front of Ruoyun, and called softly: "Ruoyun, I am Qihua, I have come to see you." ”
Ruoyun looked up and stared for a long time, and shouted: "Sister Qihua." Wow cried.
Qihua hugged her tightly in his arms, stroked her back and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, don't cry." As he spoke, he choked up. In the dark cell, low sobs echoed.
After waiting for Ruoyun's mood to calm down a little, Chun Yu leaned in and said softly: "Ruoyun, are you okay?" ”
Ruoyun whimpered and called, "Brother Chunyu." "I'm going to cry again.
Chun Yuji hurriedly said: "Ruoyun, don't cry, don't cry." There can be a guard outside the door. ”
Ruoyun stopped crying and asked, "How did you get in, this prison is not a place where you can come at will." ”
Chun Yu said: "Your sister Qihua has the ability, you can go wherever you want." ”
Qihua said angrily: "Who wants to go to prison." He said again: "Ruoyun, we are here to find a way to rescue you." We ask you something, and you tell us what you know. ”
Ruoyun nodded obediently.
Qihua motioned to Chun Yu to ask a few questions, and Chun Yu said: "How did you treat you before?" ”
Ruoyun said: "My mother is in Japan, and the family of three is still very affectionate. Later, Ah Weng married the little lady, and although he snubbed us, he was still very close to me. After my mother died, Ah Weng felt guilty, but he treated me better. ”
Chun Yu said: "Is it that after you have a little son, you Ah Weng will dislike you." ”
Ruoyun shook his head: "After having a little brother, Ah Weng still responds to my needs, and I also feel in my heart that he still cares for me." "Say it, look lonely.
Chun Yu hesitated slightly, but still asked, "How is the little lady treating you?" ”
Ruoyun smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone else thinks that I am inseparable from the little lady. In fact, the two of us originally lived our own lives and had nothing to do with each other. ”
"Then, how could there be a witch after that?" Qihua asked suspiciously.
Ruoyun looked up to the sky, tears couldn't stop flowing down his cheeks, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Qihua was a little anxious, and tried his best to make his eyes look and let Chun Yu ask a few times. Chun Yu shook his head slightly, meaning not to rush to ask.
Ruoyun also eased up at this time, wiped her tears, and said, "One day in the back garden, I saw the little lady talking to a man. The man wasn't from the manor, I had never seen him. When they saw me, they ran away. Soon, Ah Weng's attitude towards me changed drastically, and then the witchcraft happened. ”
Chun Yuji glanced at each other, and knew in his heart that this was the reason for the accident that happened later.
"Can you see the man's face?"
Ruoyun tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "It was already evening, and I just took a quick look, and I didn't know clearly. ”
"You're sure the man isn't from the manor."
Ruoyun nodded affirmatively: "I have never seen this man." ”
At this time, the prison guard shouted at the door: "It is late, you should also go." ”
Qihua said: "Let's say a few more words and leave immediately." ”
The jailer said, "It's going to be curfew any later." ”
Qihua responded: "Okay, okay, we know." He turned around and whispered to Ruoyun: "You can rest assured here, we will definitely rescue you tomorrow." ”
The prison guard urged outside the door again. Ruoyun was reluctant, Qihua couldn't bear it, hugged her gently, wiped away her tears for her, and said, "Wait for us, tomorrow." ”
The two came out into the street and sighed that they had been wronged. Qi Hua said indignantly: "Little Madam Qin really can't get out of it. ”
Chun Yu turned his head to look at her, thoughtfully, and after a while, he said, "You understand." ”
Qihua said: "This matter is already clear. Ruoyun bumped into her talking to a strange man, which was an unvirtuous act of his wife. She thought that if Ruoyun hated her, she would find Qin Jian to denounce her, so she tried to harm her. ”
Chun Yuji followed her words and said, "So, I instructed that strange man to murder Ruoyun, and then Qin Jian. ”
Qihua nodded with a serious expression.
Chun Yu said: "This inference is also reasonable. But who is that strange man? It is said that the little lady is introverted, how could she have a relationship with a man outside the manor. Besides, it was reasonable for them to frame Ruoyun, but why did they want to murder Qin Jian. ”
Qihua fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said helplessly: "I don't understand it either." ”
The two talked as they walked, and suddenly heard the golden curfew of the husband, and hurriedly flashed into the secluded alley, and said, "Let's go back to the manor first and sort this matter out." ”
