Chapter 65: The World Knows (3)
In the past, there were still some old friends, maybe they could still take them in for a while in the face of the silver money, and when the limelight has passed, they will find a way to find a proper place to hide.
Anyway, the money in his hand will not be used up in a few lifetimes.
The two of them made plans and went out at night.
Unexpectedly, after escaping less than ten miles, he was captured by the nearby garrison and beheaded on the spot as a spy.
As soon as this incident came out, the supporters of those prime ministers all beat drums in their hearts, not counting a Lin Shilang, even Yang Wanguang and Cao Wenyi, who are filial to so much silver every year, and who are loyal to the prime minister, can be abandoned by the prime minister at any time. I don't know when, as long as I need to, I'm afraid that I will become a son on the prime minister's chessboard.
Jingzhou was left without an owner for a while, and the garrisons copied millions of taels of silver from the houses of Yang Wanguang and Cao Wenyi, and put them in wine jars and put them in the cellar. The garrison that had received the order was transported to the north, except for a part of the silver kept for its own use.
That's for later.
As the days passed, it was dark in the prison, and if it weren't for the fact that someone brought three meals every day, Madame Chiang would hardly be able to tell what time it was.
When she first arrived at the prison, she still held her identity and did not eat the food that she couldn't see what it was. She always felt that even if it was for the reputation of the Guogong Mansion and for Shen Yu's future, the Shen family would not ignore her.
No matter how bad it is, there is also the Hou Mansion of Wuyang, she went out of the Hou Mansion anyway, and she has the identity of the eldest daughter, and it is impossible for them to leave her alone.
Her life couldn't end like this.
She despised the female inmates in the other cells, calling them dirty, smelly, and insane. But she waited and waited, and when she could not bear the hunger, and had to gobble up the black things, her tears flowed.
I waited day after day, but I couldn't wait for someone to visit, and I didn't even wait for the arraignment. She found that she was starting to get as dirty and smelly as the female prisoners she looked down upon!
For as long as she can remember, she has never taken care of herself, eating and drinking have been brought by someone, and it is always the most suitable thing for her, not to mention dressing, someone has served her to dress in the morning.
And when I went to the prison, I was afraid that the food was not as good as that of pigs and dogs, and if I didn't change my clothes for a few days, I would smell bad. What made her even more devastated was that she had to brush the stinky swish barrel herself!
Eating, drinking, and Lazar are all in one place, and the swishing bucket is not clean, and there are flies flying around it in the summer, and it emits a burst of foul smell, which makes her nauseous and vomiting.
There were even huge rats that ran out of her while she was eating, and grabbed food from her with impunity, causing her to scream loudly, but to the laughter of the female prisoners in the next cell.
When did she endure such suffering, within a few days, she was tortured unpresentably.
One night sleeping on the bed board covered with some straw, suddenly there was something moving on the soles of her feet, in a daze, she thought that she was back in the Guogong Mansion, it was Jia's mother was tidying up the brocade quilt on the soles of her feet, who knew that after a while, a piercing pain came, she woke up suddenly, kicked over, kicked a furry thing, the thing squeaked, and a black shadow escaped.
Only then did she know that there were bold rats that dared to bite people in the middle of the night.
At this time, she couldn't hold back any longer, looked at the bitten and bloody feet, hugged her knees and cried low.
There was only a bean-sized light in the cell, faint enough to be ignored. Everywhere there seemed to be a fierce beast hidden in the darkness, ready to rush at her, bite her neck, and devour her.
After crying for a while, she began to panic and fear, staring at every corner that she couldn't see clearly, always on guard.
It was not until the cell boss who delivered the food on the second day opened the door and a ray of sunlight came in from outside, and the darkness was dispelled, that she breathed a sigh of relief.
The head of the cell handed her a bowl of millet porridge mixed with some wild vegetable leaves through the iron bar, and gave her a black nest, and glanced at her, the former duchess was completely unrepresented.
His hair was scattered, a few straws hung from it, and his eyes were red. He took the food she handed in and ate it one bite at a time.
The cell boss didn't care in the slightest. She has seen a lot of such people, this is the Duchess of the country is crazy is quite slow, there are those who can't bear the disaster of prison, and they will go crazy in two or three days.
Mrs. Jiang bit the head of the nest again, the head of the nest had a musty smell, it was hard and hard, and the choked person was straight to the neck, if it weren't for a bowl of vegetable soup, it could really choke people to death.
It's just that at this moment, Mrs. Jiang didn't have the heart to complain about this. Her heart was full of despair, and after all these days, it seemed that someone wanted her to die in a prison cell.
No, no, she is a princess with a fate, she has been high all her life, she will not end up like this!
With a bang, the door to the cell closed again, and the cell boss finished delivering food and went out to rest. As the cell door closed, the glimmer of light vanished in an instant, and everything was dark again, even darker than before.
The faint light flickered a few times, but it finally failed to withstand the wind rushing in from outside the door, and struggled to extinguish it.
The darkness engulfed everything, and the unsightly places seemed to hide a great threat. Madame Jiang suddenly panicked, and kicked the black porcelain bowl in front of her with a loud bang, and even this sound startled her.
She crawled through the straw pile in the corner of the wall from memory, and shrank inside, surrounded by straw, only to feel a little safer.
Beside him there was the sound of other people's invective, every word rude and dirty, and the sound of high and low cries, and the screams of two people fighting over a piece of the nest.
At this time, she actually felt that these voices were so beautiful, at least they could prove that there were people around her, some living people.
She felt that her surroundings were slowly getting hot, and she thought it was strange, this prison was impermeable to light and wind, but it still couldn't stop the heat wave outside.
At some point, a light lit up in front of me, but the light was very faint, and the sound of gurgling water sounded.
Is it raining outside?
Madame Chiang stood up and put her ear against the wall, but moss suddenly grew on the wall, wet and slippery, and she grabbed a handful, which was cold and wet.
She was a little strange, and when she looked up again, she saw that the light in front of her was actually shining from overhead!
A round ball of light, and you can even see a piece of starlight.
She suddenly reacted, she turned out to be in the well!
Madame Jiang was shocked, how could it be, how could it be in the well? She grabbed around in a panic, and as soon as she turned around, a pale and puffy face flashed in front of her, and she screamed and hurriedly stepped back.
Behind her was the hard wall of the well, and her back hit the wall hard, and the grimace suddenly showed a smile, brushing the wet hair with leaves hanging on her forehead, and a scarlet mouth full of white teeth!
