451 Night and Dream Life (3)
"She wants to 'thank you', which is exactly what I want. Suzaku said again, "But I just got the mansion at that time, and I wanted to spend a few days to arrange the employment of people in the mansion first, and it was not so fast to get better, so I asked Shao Xuan to wait for me to inform me in a few days, and then send people here." Of course, Shao Xuan also knew what it meant to "send people here", he went that day, but when he came back the next day, his expression changed very much, saying that he was looking for death in the night, but fortunately Mrs. Shao found out and saved her, and asked her why, she only cried and said, 'Men in the world are so shameless, if it is for this reason that I am told to live, I would rather not live' - most of them were the couple who said that they would send her to accompany me in a few days, and she heard it through the window. I didn't expect that. Three years ago—even though she was crying, didn't she give in? This time—saved her life, asked her to 'thank me' but refused?
"I asked Shao Xuan to go back and take care of it as usual. A few days later, I went to Lin'an Mansion to look through her case file and check her past details. When she returned from the prison, she was still doing the business of selling jokes and selling herself in the original kiln, and after more than a year, a guest treated her well, pooled some money, and ransomed her. This is also a good thing, but it is clearly written in the case file, according to this murder, the one who died was the guest who ransomed her back then, in other words, her husband for more than a year. She was discovered on the night of the murder, and the murder weapon was all there, and she took it to the government, but she did not deny it, and she refused to explain the reason, because she had no one and no money, and several of the brothers of the deceased cried and cried, and the court sentenced her to death for murder.
"I have recorded the murder case and checked the evidence repeatedly, it really doesn't seem to be a false accusation, and I thought in my heart, she was in my prison back then, and she could endure such a situation, if such a woman could kill someone, she must be in a desperate situation, and she would die-the person who ransomed her either failed her, or treated her extremely harshly and abused her. 'Men all over the world are so shameless', these words can indeed be said in such a state of mind - especially in prison, they were bullied and tortured, and when they woke up, they found that they were actually saved, or there was a glimmer of hope, but they immediately heard that the so-called 'Lord Zhu' who saved her was just to ask her to 'be a companion', and of course she was determined to die.
"I thought to myself, I just wanted to be so desperate for life, I was just starving in prison back then, and now I am in this position, and I don't have to be this woman. In the past few days, I have made countless friends, and they all know how to do what I like, so I don't think of her. After more than a month like this, Shao Xuan also said that Yiyi's injury was almost better, and he suddenly said yesterday that he was willing to come to see me. I said yes and told him to send someone that night.
"'Taihu Golden Needle' thinks that he has some skills, and Yiyi seems to have recovered from his injury, but his face is not radiant, and his expression always seems to be a little wilted. Of course, she didn't know me, and when she saw me, she kowtowed her head exactly like back then, saying that she thanked me for saving my life.
"Ordinary women are frightened when they see my appearance, but Yiyi didn't show a trace of fear that day, but she really held her breath of disregard for life and death more than the first time. She kowtowed and said that she had not figured it out before, but now she had figured it out - I had indeed saved her life, and whatever she should have paid back, she had nothing but to serve me. But she wanted to confront me in person. When I asked her what was the matter, she said in a quiet and fierce voice, and told me that she was a lowly military prostitute, that she had received many customers, that she had killed people, and that her hands were covered in human blood—she claimed that she could not be dirtier, and asked me if I dared to ask her. She probably thought that this would scare me, but I had known what she said.
When she saw my attitude, she knew that she couldn't escape, so she could only kowtow to me again and beg me - after accompanying her for this night, she could let her go. I laughed right away. I didn't think I'd keep anyone for long—because I had been in chains three years ago, and I always felt that I owed something that I had to get from her. So he immediately answered her, and let her go tomorrow as long as she could make me happy. Probably for that sentence - that night, as she had done three years ago, she pandered to me and burst into tears, but she couldn't hold back.
"I didn't see her, and the next day I asked her if she had come yesterday with the determination of the jade crush—if I didn't allow her to let her go after one night, and if I would do the same thing with the husband who killed her, and make a doom to me. She panicked and refused to admit it, saying that I had saved her life and that she had never thought of harming me. I asked her if it wasn't a great favor for her husband to ransom her out of such a place, but didn't he die at her hands in the end? When she asked about this, she refused to say anything, but repeatedly kowtowed to me, saying that I was different from her husband, and that she would never harm my heart, and that I would let her go in abundance, and that she would not do any more crimes. When I asked her what she was going to do, she said she would go back home and sell her house and go back to her hometown to live in peace. I knew that she had killed someone in her house, and it had been sealed by the government, which was very suspicious, but I didn't bother to investigate it carefully, so I sent someone to call Shao Xuanye to come and send her away.
Before the person was sent out, she turned two intersections, and she insisted on telling Shao Xuan that she didn't have to send it, she would go back by herself. Shao Xuan was also suspicious, so he refused to really leave, secretly embellished her, she really didn't go home at all, seeing that she was going to the courtyard a few years earlier, it meant to re-enter the old place. But she didn't know anything about the murder, and her mother didn't know how she was released, and she didn't dare to ask her, so she drove out, and she went to the next house, and she didn't know about her. After turning around like this, Shao Xuan couldn't see it, so he stopped her and dragged her back to Shao's mansion, and asked him why his wife didn't go home for a long time, but wanted to return to such an inferior place. Still don't say it. Shao Xuan had to come to me again the next day.
"When I investigated Yiyi's case file and her origins, I went to her house, except for the main house, which was sealed, her husband's brothers and relatives who had lived in the east and west rooms had all moved out after the accident, and they only met a neighbor on the left, who knew that she had been ransomed from the courtyard more than a year ago, and for some reason suddenly killed someone; and did not chase it down. At this time, I had to ask Shao Xuan to follow and track down again, to see if I could ask anything, and after a few days, he came to see me with a dark face, saying that he had found out. ”
Suzaku said this for a long time, and only then did he suddenly stop for a while, as if he wanted to change his breath. The night is dark, there are no stars and moons, and it is almost the coldest part of the day. A team of night guards passed by with lanterns, and saw that it was Suzaku and Xia Yan, and hurriedly saluted, "Lord Zhu, Lord Xia!" The light faded away, and the stone path fell into endless darkness.
"What did Lord Shao find?" Xia Yan asked.
"The benefactor...... He is not the first to redeem his attachment. Yiyi had been redeemed once, before I saw her for the first time. But the benefactor didn't like her anymore and sent her back. Since then she has been unable to lift her head in the bar, and naturally, if the ugliest things are thrown to her. Otherwise, I would not have met her in prison.
Even so, she always believed in her heart that she would meet good people again in the future, and treat her well from now on. Later, sure enough, there were two more who wanted to redeem her, one was older - he was forty years old, which was not considered old, but Yiyi naturally liked the other in his heart - the same age as her, and he was a scholar, a woman in a low-class courtyard, who didn't want to be ransomed by such a person?
"This young man came to the kiln and Yiyi before and after the two months, when she was shh But things are so beautiful, there is always something wrong - scholars in their twenties, most of them are at the age of taking meritorious service examinations, and their future prospects are not limited, how can they be willing to marry a girl who goes home and leave some stains on their own family? There are many elegant courtyards, pianos, chess, calligraphy and paintings in the capital, and he can't go, but he is determined to pay a high price in the cheapest - these many questions, in Yiyi's eyes, only believe that this man has affection for her, and happily follows her, only to know that her 'husband' is not one, but six. There are five brothers in the family, but it's a good wait.
Shao Xuan said that he didn't know what happened to her there for more than a year, and he didn't even know about his neighbors. What had it been that had made her finally kill—how she had been able to kill someone for more than a year—she didn't say, and no one knew. I only wonder why she didn't scold her when she cried at first and looked like she was still trying to endure it, and I don't know how many times she had endured it like this in the past 20 years--she probably thought that as long as she endured that day and that day, she probably thought that it would be fine every time, but she didn't know-which step was not more desperate than the previous one? Why was she found out on the night she killed--because those five people were there, and Yiyi was going to kill more than one person at that time, but unfortunately only one of them died and was restrained. After she was sentenced to death, the five brothers still lived in the old place with swagger and did not leave, and it was only when they heard that she suddenly asked someone to take them out of the dungeon and did not know where to go, so they were a little afraid and moved away.
"I asked Shao Xuanye, and I can't find these five people. He said that there is no whereabouts for the time being, but if he really wants to find it, he can always find it. I don't want to add any more arguments to this case, so I told Shao Xuan not to make a noise, and secretly found someone to deal with it. But he said, "He will not do murder."
"It's strange that he has a good relationship with Xia Zheng, it turns out that there is no distinction between good and bad - all the way. Although he has helped me a lot these days, he dares to refuse me face to face when he encounters something he really doesn't want to do. Seeing that he was obedient before, I didn't force him. There is another person in my heart who can do this for me - Zhang Ting.
"Zhang Ting was originally the deputy director of the front division of the palace, Xia Zheng and I didn't want to face each other, and most of the things in the front of the palace were handed over to Zhang Ting. He wanted to show himself in front of me, and I really needed someone like him—to do things for no reason. I told him, I want to kill such a few people, but I don't want to make a big fuss, if he can do it for me, I will try to get Xia Zheng away and make him the former director of the palace - that is, the deputy commander of this forbidden city. I also told him that if it is not convenient to find people in the forbidden city, you can find the Black Bamboo Society, the first bow chief of the Black Bamboo Society, was a person from my Vermilion Bird Villa, and he should still look at my face. Zhang Ting really went to see him. Within half a month, the matter was over. That should be the first time he has been associated with the Black Bamboo Society.
"Although this matter is silent, Zhang Ting suddenly got my attention, and everyone inside and outside the forbidden city knows that he must be able to do things for me, especially Shao Xuan, who also saw it, and should have guessed the inner reason. He didn't come to mention it to me, but as I instructed, he rented another courtyard for Yiyi to live in the city - I didn't ask much, that year the crown prince was established and the East Palace was moved - there were many things in the forbidden city, and Yiyi would forget about it.
"But if there is a woman in this world, and you have killed a dozen people for her, even if you don't like her in the first place, you can't help but take her to heart. ”
