Chapter 384
The draft is a big event, but for some reason, there are no waves this year, if it weren't for the excitement in the capital, I'm afraid most people wouldn't even have the feeling of the draft.
Before the draft was about to end, Feng Yueming went out of the palace again and accompanied Xing Yao to Jiao Prison, if it weren't for her, Xing Yao wouldn't have been able to enter.
The people in Jiao Prison had obviously been greeted, Feng Yueming and the others did not encounter any obstacles when they entered, and even after the gate of Jiao Prison was closed, there were special people to guide the two of them.
"Are the Gui family all locked up together?" Feng Yueming's voice was very soft, but there was an echo in this scorched prison, making her voice sound much more hollow.
"Yes. ”
Xing Yao looked at the back of the person leading the way in front of him, and deliberately asked, but he didn't know how to speak, and finally just sighed softly.
Feng Yueming heard Gui Xingyao's sigh and glanced back at her, "Let's make an end today." Seeing Gui Xingyao's silent appearance, he also knew in his heart that this end was not so easy to do.
After walking for a while, Xing Yao's mood seemed to ease up a bit, "I will." ”
Feng Yueming heard Xing Yao's fluttering voice, and didn't speak again, just continued to walk inside, passing by many cells along the way, there were men, women and children locked up inside, and these people all looked lifeless without exception, hearing Feng Yueming's movements, it was just that some of them looked up at them.
The more Xingyao walked in, the more frightened she became, she had learned a lot of things these days, and punishment was one of them, because she had missed the period of learning martial arts at her age, and the best thing to learn now was to protect herself, in order to let her recognize the weakness of the human body, even if she couldn't beat the other party in danger, she could also try to see if she could hit it with one hit.
Now Xing Yao walked in this scorched prison, her eyes swept over the prisoners on both sides, she could almost tell at a glance the injuries caused by those punishments, most of them were painful but not fatal, and she couldn't help but feel a little afraid in her heart, she didn't know what kind of mood she would feel when she saw the Gui family like this for a while, and she couldn't help but hesitate.
Feng Yueming walked a few steps, feeling that the voice behind her was not quite right, she looked back at Xing Yao and found the hesitation on her face, "What's wrong?"
"It's fine. Xing Yao bit his lip and took a deep breath, his originally erratic eyes firmed up, "It's okay." After a pause, "I'm here to settle everything, and I can't end how I leave." ”
Feng Yueming's face showed a little smile, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Feng Yueming and the others walked to the prison where the Gui family was being held, and unlike the others, they passed through two locked gates in a row before entering.
As soon as the door opened, the strong smell of blood permeated, and directly in front of them was a person who was tied to a stake, covered in blood, and could no longer see his original appearance.
There are many guards inside, in order to prevent the Gui family from self-harm or suicide, they are repeat offenders in the imperial court, and without the permission of the emperor, the death of any one may make them face heavy punishment.
Xing Yao's expression became more and more tense, her eyes stared at that person, and she couldn't recognize who it was for a while.
"Let's go. Feng Yueming whispered to Gui Xingyao, "It's all here......"
"Hmm. Xing Yao responded, and walked in in a trance, Feng Yueming and Jiao Jiao's guide were behind her, she first walked to the person on the stake, and looked carefully for a while, before she recognized that it was her brother, who was originally the best junior of the Gui family, and now he can no longer see the high-spirited appearance before.
Xing Yaozai looked carefully at the brother in front of him, who was supposed to be in the outer room, blinked, tears fell without warning, and along with the tears, a strange smile appeared on his face, "Brother, long time no see......"
Xing Yao's voice was very soft, but in this silent and oppressive prison, everyone could hear it clearly, and the sound of chains suddenly appeared in the various cells that had been motionless.
"Gui Xingyao!" a hoarse female voice shouted at Xingyao, "How could it be you, why are you here?" and then a malicious smile appeared on her face, "My lord, it's her, she's the daughter who escaped from my family." ”
Xing Yao looked at the woman who spoke, recognized it for a while, frowned, and showed a confused look, "Who are you?" Of course she recognized the person in front of her, and it was only because she knew that these words would crush the other party and make the other party uncomfortable.
The woman's malice froze on her face, and after a while, "Master, come and see, your daughter doesn't even recognize her mother!" and looked at the person guarding her, "This adult, it's her, hurry up and arrest her." ”
The other awake Gui family members also crawled to the door of the cell at this time, and those who could make a sound shouted Gui Xingyao's name one after another, while those who could not make a sound were banging on the door of the cell, and for a while, the originally noisy prison became as noisy as a vegetable market.
Xing Yao's gaze swept over the prison, and she couldn't recognize many people, but she knew that these people might not have been so embarrassed in her life.
"Shut up! Shut up! Silence!" the guards finally moved, and the whip was accurately whipped across the fence on the Gui family's body.
For a while, all kinds of sounds were mixed with screams, and after almost a cup of tea, the prison was quiet again, and the Gui family hid back in the cell again, for fear that the whip would hit their bodies again.
Feng Yueming exhaled softly, the previous noise did make her feel a little uncomfortable, she wanted to leave, but decided to accompany Xingyao here.
Xing Yao sighed lightly, looking down at her stepmother who used to be brittle by candlelight, she once thought that she would not be able to escape for the rest of her life, and even a lifelong event would be ruined in the hands of this woman, but now the situation of the two is very different, maybe this is the only time they have met in this life.
"I wanted to kill you with my own hands. Xing Yao's tone was very calm, looking at the woman with an incredulous face in front of him, "But this is Jiao Prison, and you are a felony of the imperial court, Your Highness said that I can't do this." ”
"You ......" Mrs. Gui looked at Xing Yao in disbelief, she didn't expect to hear such words, "What nonsense are you talking about, I am your mother." ”
"You're not. Xing Yao's tone was firm, "My mother has died, and she died at your hands. She glanced at the cell next to her, where her father was looking, and when she heard her say this, she shrank back.
"You...... You ......" Mrs. Gui looked at Gui Xingyao in shock, and suddenly thought of something, "Is it your fault that the Gui family is like this!"
