Chapter 338: Blood for Blood
Since marrying Yuan Jie to the merchant who sells goods on the street, she has not been heard from.
The merchant looked at her very closely, after all, she was a daughter-in-law who was born for nothing, young and beautiful, and a pair of shallot-like hands were white and tender, and the merchant was reluctant to let her show her face in the village. Although the village is full of poor people, after all, there are young and strong young men, who look more handsome than him, what if they kidnap their wives?
He pushes a cart out to walk the streets and alleys all day long, and locks Yuan Jie at home before he goes out, so as not to let his beautiful wife be seen by outsiders. In the evening, she may bring some rock sugar red fruits, or mung bean flour cake bait for her to eat. Yuan Jie refuses to eat these, she grew up in Weifu since she was a child, and she spoiled her mouth, plus, she lived in Prince He's Mansion for half a year, and Prince He looked at Yuan Jia's face and took care of her. But whoever doesn't have the appetite can't eat at all.
Yuan Jie faced this old and fat merchant every day, and she always held back a ball of anger in her heart. Although the merchant also wanted to treat her well, he could always make Yuan Jie pick out the mistakes, and often pointed his nose and scolded her, and the three generations of his ancestors were also greeted for a long time. The snacks brought back by the merchant, she naturally didn't look down on them, either they fell down, or they fell in front of her, and the bean flour cakes were thrown on the ground, and they were crushed one by one.
At first, the merchant still wanted to change his way to bring her some food to coax her, but later, he also felt that she was really tricky and mean, so he didn't have so much patience. Later, she beat a meal from time to time, starved for a day, hungry and anxious, and even those brown rice porridge that she usually couldn't eat, she could drink it fragrantly.
Wei Yuanjia was imprisoned in that broken Taoist temple, and she was originally asked to burn incense and pray every day to pray for atonement, but she was too resentful, and she just cursed and cursed in front of the clay statue every day.
Her husband has died, and she didn't leave any sons and half daughters, because she was jealous, Xiao Rongshen didn't look for another woman, and naturally, no other woman gave birth to a child for Xiao Rongshen. Without children, there is no hope. Yuan Jia woke up from the Taoist temple every day, and began to curse, from Wei Yuanxi, to Gao Bingyan, and then to Xiao Rongcheng. The scolding is that the revenge of killing the husband is not shared, and the scolding is that the traitor seeks glory and lives alone. The scolding is not thinking about siblings, and does not care about life or death.
In fact, Gao Bingyan also wants to live, but he can't live. As soon as the lady with the continuation of the string walked to the gate of the city, she met the Donglin army who was entering the city, and his portrait was pasted at the gate of the city. The woman who continued the string was stupid, her legs and stomach trembled for a long time, and she said timidly: "I, I haven't done anything hurtful! It's all him, he did it alone, and he has nothing to do with me!"
Knowing that it had nothing to do with her, Donglin Jun didn't want to embarrass her, threw the snatched package into her arms, and told her to run out of the city for her life.
Xiao Rongcheng is the same, before the Donglin Army broke the city, he rode away, packed up some silver tickets, and wanted to escape with some valuable treasures in the house, but unfortunately he was also recognized by the Donglin Army. In contrast, Xiao Rongcheng's two women have much more integrity, vowing to live and die with Xiao Rongcheng, naturally, the end is much bleaker than Gao Bingyan's women.
Xiao Rongcheng was imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple, a bronze lock was hung on the door, and the jailer scooped up a spoonful of copper juice and poured the lock to death. In his life, he never wants to step out of the prison for half a step, Xiao Rongcheng is almost desperate, he is just a young man in his early twenties and thirties, do you want to live in this dark prison for the rest of his life?
"Where did you get this king's concubine!" Xiao Rongcheng crouched on the wooden fence of the prison and yelled at several wardens in Dali Temple.
However, he could only shout, and his voice landed, but no one paid attention to him.
"Speak, where have you taken the king's concubine!" Xiao Rongcheng tried his best to pound the thick wooden fence, but he didn't move. This big lock was specially built for him, and Xiao Rongcheng tried his best to twist it, but he didn't see any deformation.
"Don't try to break the lock. A voice whispered, "That's a dream." ”
"Who is it!" Xiao Rongcheng roared.
A slightly thin figure came from the darkness and stood in front of Xiao Rongcheng, he slowly took off his cloak and startled Xiao Rongcheng: "Second brother!" Xiao Rongcheng tried his best to stretch out his two hands out of the wooden fence to grab Rong Zhan, but he could only hold his two hands in the air.
"You are now my prisoner, you should speak respectfully, you should at least call me second brother. Rong Zhan indifferently put his hands behind his back and said lightly.
Xiao Rongcheng didn't want to pay attention to his second brother or second brother, he knew that the person in front of him had taken away his two concubines!
"Fuck your second brother, where did you get the two concubines of this king!"
Rong Zhan didn't have any expression on his face, just turned his face slightly, and asked, "Why, you only have women in your eyes?"
Xiao Rongcheng retracted his hand, glanced at Rong Zhan, and sneered: "Aren't you the same, being fascinated by Wei Yuanxi?"
Rong Cheng sneered: "But I won." ”
Xiao Rongcheng was a little disappointed: "Yes, you won, so you can kill my woman, abolish my title, and imprison me here, without thinking about the slightest brotherhood." ”
Rong Zhan stared at him, slowly stretched out his hand, grabbed Xiao Rongcheng's two fingers, and gently pressed them on his heart: "Fourth brother, you stabbed a sword in my heart, do you remember? That time, you didn't remember that I was your second brother!"
Xiao Rongcheng flattened his mouth: "I'm not begging for mercy like you, you just want to ask you one word, where did you get my woman!"
"I don't know!" Rong Zhan stared at him, with a look of deliberate provocation.
Xiao Rongcheng knew that if he continued to be stubborn like this, he would never get any results, so he leaned down in a low voice and said in a low voice: "Second brother, the emperor, the criminal minister knows that he is wrong, and the criminal minister begs the emperor to tell the criminal minister where the two concubines of the criminal minister are." ”
Rong Zhan hooked the corners of his lips, aimlessly fiddled with a ring inlaid with emeralds, and said: "The fourth brother wants to live here for the rest of his life, but I look at your two concubines, they are still young and young, if you are widowed at this age, it is really a tyrannical thing, I am the master, and I will find a good family to marry your two concubines." You have no heirs anyway, and they don't have to keep your chastity for you. Fourth brother, do you say yes? ”
Xiao Rongcheng raised his head, as if he had heard a thunderbolt on a sunny day, his two concubines were his treasures! Especially that Yelu Nuer, who was not only beautiful, but also had a Western Regions charm, and was a rare stunner in the sky and on the earth. If such a woman falls into the hands of others, will she not be a trample?
Xiao Rongcheng slammed on the wooden fence and tried his best to pull the corners of Rong Zhan's clothes: "Your Majesty, the emperor, the ancestors! Please, please return them to me, as long as the emperor agrees, Xiao Rongcheng will be a cow in the next life to repay the emperor's grace!"
Rong Zhan was some distance away, and even if Xiao Rongcheng straightened his hand, he couldn't grasp the corner of Rong Zhan's clothes. So the two hands hung empty, and they looked even more weak. Xiao Rongcheng maintained this action for a long time, and he vaguely felt that Xiao Rongzhan was playing tricks on him and deliberately embarrassing him. Rong Cheng was angry, turned his face away, and stopped flattering.
"Fourth brother, don't call me nonsense, you are of the same clan as me, you are called my ancestor, isn't it my longevity?" Rong Zhan put his hands behind his back and looked at his fourth brother, who was once invincible: "At the beginning, I proposed to give you a title and chose a gift word, do you know why?"
Xiao Rongcheng retracted his hand, turned his back to Rong Zhan, and leaned on the wooden fence: "You are here to shame me." ”
"No, I want to remind you that you must be polite. If I remember correctly, when you were canonized as the king of the county, I also sent you a set of gift notes, do you remember how it was written in the book?"
Xiao Rongcheng didn't speak, where did he know what was written in the book, he only knew that he was a big boss and didn't like to read at all. The congratulatory gifts sent by the other brothers were all swords, horses, ornaments, wine, etc., and Rong Zhan alone gave such a hardcover book. Xiao Rongcheng was so angry that he almost burned it with a fire, knowing that he had liked to practice martial arts since he was a child, and he didn't read the book well, didn't he slap him in the face when he sent the book?
"You probably haven't seen it, have you?" said Rong Zhan coldly.
"I haven't flipped it, and if I don't burn it, I'll be worthy of you. Xiao Rongcheng said.
"It's a pity. Rong Zhan smiled slightly: "But it's no wonder that your temper is like this." ”
"I know you still send it. Xiao Rongcheng muttered in a low voice.
"Actually, if you flip through that set of books, you should be able to see that there is a blank piece of rice paper in the middle, on which is the letter I wrote to you. I have already reminded you that Xiao Rongshen will definitely be defeated, and following him can only lead to a dead end. I also advise you to follow the etiquette and the law, and I am the ruler of the etiquette and the law. ”
Xiao Rongcheng turned his face and looked at Rong Zhan incredulously, what he said was true or false, there is no way to verify it now. But now that I'm in prison, it's an ironclad thing. Xiao Rongshen burned himself with a fire, and he was gone, but now he has only one way to die of old age except for hitting the wall or biting his tongue to commit suicide.
"So what......" Xiao Rongcheng lowered his gaze and looked at Rong Zhan's boots.
Rong Zhan stared at him, knowing that he was pretending not to care, but in fact, he knew everything in his heart that what happened to him today was because he was on the wrong side at the beginning.
"Fourth brother really doesn't care?" Rong Zhan looked at him gently: "Since the fourth brother has seen through everything, then I don't care about anything anymore." Old lady Chu's son-in-law took a fancy to the slave next to the fourth brother at a glance yesterday, and wanted to bring it back to the house to be a roommate, I heard that the old lady Chu's son-in-law and the fourth brother have always been at odds?"
"Xiao Rongzhan, did you do it on purpose?" Rong Cheng stood up angrily.
"Yes, what can you do with me?" Rong Zhan curled the corners of his lips and laughed wantonly: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, you can't protect yourself, why do you care so much?" Oh, I remembered, you and this slave are sincere!"
"Xiao Rongzhan, you can't die well! You can't die well!!" Xiao Rongcheng shouted angrily: "Did you hear it, you can't die well!"
