I'm watching the gate in the jail
Chapter 51
Duoduo changed Mei Niang into the newly cut clothes for the little master's birthday, and licked her hair again with shavings water. After confirming that Madam's dress today was perfect, she hurriedly lifted her skirt and walked outside.
"Go, it's really a girl who doesn't want to stay!"
Mei Niang smiled, opened the jewelry box, found a few hairpins, and gestured to the mirror one by one.
Just now a servant sneaked in and told Miss Duoduo that Brother Yang said he wanted to see him.
This happened to be heard by the wife, and she teased her, saying that today is not only Ah Zhi's "good day", but also her "good day".
Manager Yang is so anxious, he must have come to confess his love to her.
If she and Guanshi Yang really come to fruition, wouldn't the restaurant of Wang's and Wan's shopkeepers be "happy on top of happiness"?
She wants to prepare a dowry for her, and marry her off in a glorious manner.
Duoduo's cheeks were blushing, and he was embarrassed as he covered his hot face.
The maids along the way also teased her non-stop, congratulating her one after another.Duoduo kept laughing, walking with wind on his feet.
She also wore a Han girl's skirt today, with a red sash tied around her waist, which was smart and delicate.
Duoduo walked quickly to the end of the corridor, but he didn't dare to go out immediately.She stopped, gathered the hem of her clothes, took a deep breath, and walked outside.
What greeted her was not the affectionate Brother Yang, but a group of men who were entangled and fighting.
"What are you doing? Let go of me, Brother Yang!"
Seeing that Yang Xiuxian was confronting someone, Duoduo put his hand on his waist without thinking, trying to take off the whip.But he suddenly discovered that because of the change of skirt, the whip was not brought out at all.
However, she immediately put on a stance and besieged one of them together with Yang Xiuxian.
"Damn girl, how can you help them!"
The traitor was caught off guard by Duo Duo who suddenly jumped into the battle group.
"He's the bad guy!"
"Fart! What are you? How dare you say that, Brother Yang. Look!"
Although this person is wearing Yao people's clothes and looks a bit familiar, but at the moment, in the heart of Duoduo girl, no one is more important than Yang Xiuxian.
She was aggressive, punching like the wind, and merciless.
On this side, Wanda and Mei Qianzhang also started fighting.
The leg and foot skills of these two people, although one is half a catty and the other is eight liang, they are both the "eight fists of the king" of Xiasanlu.
But in the end, Mei Qianzhang had more on-the-spot experience. He slipped, avoided Wanda's shackles, and ran to the backyard like a loach.
Wanda grasped the air with one hand, clenched her fists with hatred, and followed in.
Mei Qianzhang said last night that three people disguised themselves and entered Wang's house.Now there are only two, and the other one should be in the back. Mei Qianzhang must not be allowed to get in the back and leak the news.
At this time, Pan Guang happened to come out of the study, and saw a young Yao man rushing in.He was just about to reprimand someone for being so unruly, when he saw Shopkeeper Wan running up behind him.
Shopkeeper Wan isn't eating in front, what are you doing here?
"Ahhhh!"
As soon as Mei Qian opened her mouth, she heard a scream coming from outside.
Wanda and Mei Qianzhang turned their heads together, and saw hundreds of soldiers in battle uniforms rushing in through the front door.
Each of them held a sharp steel knife, descending like a tiger, and charged at the people in the front yard.
It was Qiu Zijin who was panting and running to show them the way.
The people eating in the front yard were all relatives and business partners of the Wang family who had cooperated with each other for many years. Just now, they were having a good meal, and they were making fists to carry out the drinking orders.
All of a sudden, the cups, plates and bowls fell to the ground, and the scene was a mess.
"We are soldiers of the Xunzhou Guards, and we were ordered to come here today to hunt down the traitors in Datangxia. You are not allowed to resist, and you all squat down in place, waiting for your identity to be checked. Otherwise, we will all be regarded as the accomplices of the traitors and be killed on the spot. !"
Master Qianhu took the lead and rushed to the forefront.
It happened that there was a young boy standing beside him. Seeing how terrifying they were, he couldn't help but screamed and turned to run away.
Seeing that what he just said was disobeyed, the thousand households were furious.So he raised the knife and slashed straight at the boy's back.
Immediately, blood gushed out from his back, the screaming stopped abruptly, and the young man fell slowly.
Until the moment he threw himself on the ground, his eyes were still wide open, unable to believe what happened before his eyes.
"I said, all squat down and wait for investigation, otherwise this person will be your fate!"
Qianhu shouted loudly holding up the steel knife stained with red blood.
This military master has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he knows that the most important thing now is to shock people's hearts.Otherwise, even if the small people of Dousheng gather and scream, it will cause chaos.
There are less than 800 people in their guards, more than half of them were assigned to the outside of the city and Wang Yuanwai's house to intercept and chase the group of rebels who went down the mountain to transport food, as well as Wang Yuanwai's family members who wanted to escape, and soldiers who came here But two or three hundred.
If these people really resisted, it would cause great chaos.
Although this young man died pitifully, but after seeing his end, no one should try to make unnecessary resistance again.
"Officers and soldiers? Why are there officers and soldiers?"
Duoduo even forgot to attack.
"Are you stupid? Of course they attracted them!"
Lan San was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.
Here, Yang Xiuxian backed the thief step by step, stretched out his right leg, and kicked Lan San's knee hard.
Lan San wailed and lay on the ground, but Yang Xiuxian twisted his arm around his back, and with a "click", his shoulder joints were directly removed.
"Nonsense! No way! Why did Brother Yang invite officers and soldiers in?"
Duoduo took two steps back in disbelief.
"Because they are Jinyiwei!"
Mei Qianzhang finally called out.
"Quick! Miss Duoduo, go in and run away with your wife and Ah Zhi! There are officers and soldiers brought in by Xiaoqiu at the front door. Hurry up and escape through the back door."
"Jinyiwei?!"
Hearing what Mei Qianzhang said, Pan Guang looked at Wanda in disbelief.
The latter couldn't bear to be looked at by his sharp gaze, and guiltily turned his head slightly, not daring to meet his gaze.
He is really not suitable for such a difficult job as an undercover agent!
Wanda kept cursing herself secretly.
No wonder, no wonder this little hotel is so full of talent.
Only then did Pan Guang suddenly realize.
Whether it is Guanshi Yang, Qiu Accountant, or High Nursing Institute, wherever they are placed, they are all talents in charge of their own.These amazingly talented people are crowded in a restaurant in the small city of Xunzhou. It turns out that they are here to investigate the rebels!
When Pan Guang thought about how he had confided in them and regarded them as confidantes in the past few months, he felt angry and unstoppable.
No... In that small port, it was he who first approached them and begged the so-called "Treasurer Wan" to make pastries for the little master, which caused this disaster.
He is the culprit, he led the wolf into the house and killed the head of the house!
Pan Guang was angry and regretful at the same time, and finally he glared at Wanda almost angrily.
He wished he could eat his flesh alive and tear him to pieces.
"A lot, hurry up! Go to the backyard and inform the head of the house and his wife, I will stop them here."
Pan Guang jumped in front of Wanda, and slashed his chest fiercely, as if to kill him.
In the nick of time, Wanda squatted down and roguely made a "lazy donkey roll", only to escape this thunderous palm by chance.
At this moment, Duoduo only felt that she was an ant on a hot pot, and her brain was a ball of burnt paste. She didn't understand at all, why Brother Yang was Jin Yiwei.
Isn't today A Zhi's birthday?
Didn't Brother Yang ask his servant to call her here just to confess his love to her?
What happened to the group of officers and soldiers outside?
"Go, girl! Otherwise, it's really too late!"
Pan Guang yelled at her.
The head of the family made a miscalculation, he had no choice but to leave with his wife and young master.
Pan Guang looked at Wanda with resentful eyes.
This person has completely betrayed the trust of the head of the family, and has driven them to such a state that he must not be allowed to leave alive.
Even if he died here today, Pan Guang would bring this cunning "Treasurer Wan" to be buried with him!
Wanda was laying on the ground, facing the corner of Pan Guang's slashing from top to bottom, and behind him was the whole wall, and there was nowhere to escape at this moment.
"grown ups!"
Yang Xiuxian and Gao Hui dropped the culprit who was fighting, and were about to rush over to save him, when Wanda felt a black shadow flash in front of him...
"puff……"
Mei Qianzhang rolled her eyes, she clearly heard the sound of her ribs breaking.
His face was blue and red, and a mouthful of salty-sweet blood spurted out from his throat, all of which spilled on his pan-gone pants.
"Mei Qianzhang!"
Wanda yelled and put her arms around his shoulders that had fallen suddenly.
"Brother Xiaoqian! Why do you...?"
Pan Guang was completely confused. It stands to reason that Brother Xiaoqian and Manager Wan's manager Yang should be in the same group, but it happened that he came to report the letter.
But now that he was going to attack shopkeeper Wan, the traitor who had betrayed him and the head of the family, why did Xiaoqian rush out to protect him again?
"Mei Qianzhang, what do you mean? Are you loyal or traitor?!"
Even if there was only one person separated, Wanda almost screamed out from the pain of the kick just now, not to mention Mei Qianzhang whose bones were broken by the kick.
It's hard for Wanda to imagine how much pain he is enduring now.
"Sorry, Master Wan... I may not be able to be a 'good person' after all."
Blood kept flowing from the corner of Mei Qianzhang's mouth, his face was ashen, and he forced a smile that was uglier than crying at Wanda.
"As the saying goes, 'Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both', there is nothing wrong with that... If I had known this, I would rather not have seen her in this life, nor have I met you..."
He admitted that he was selfish, cowardly, unable to take care of the overall situation, and was a born "thief bone".
But, sorry, I really want to be a good person...
Mei Qianzhang spat out a mouthful of blood with a smile, her head gradually drooped, and finally fell silently into Wanda's arms.
"Mei Qianzhang! Mei Qianzhang!"
Wanda only felt that the person in his arms suddenly became heavier, no matter how he called and shook, Mei Qianzhang did not respond at all.He had never faced such a scene of life and death, and he couldn't even cry out in the end.
Duoduo looked at the sudden change in front of her in disbelief, holding on to the railing of the corridor, she finally woke up like a dream, staring at Yang Xiuxian crazily with hateful eyes.
He lied to her!
He deliberately approached her to investigate the case!
This man lied to himself from beginning to end.
If he had a knife in his hand, Duoduo would wish to cut this so-called "Brother Yang" into pieces right now.
But not now, she has more important things to do.
Duoduo bent down, tore off the hem of the skirt that was dragging on the ground, and then ran towards the inner courtyard with big strides.
Here, Yang Xiuxian jumped up, pointed his elbow at Pan Guang who was about to continue attacking Wanda, and slammed into him with great force.
Pan Guang didn't notice for a moment, and was knocked to the ground by him.
At this time, a group of warriors armed with various weapons rushed out from the side courtyard and confronted the officers and soldiers.
They are the bodyguards and guards of the Wang family caravan, and they are responsible for guarding the outside of the Wang family house on weekdays.
"Brothers, protect the head of the family! Don't let them go back!"
The leader of the team was none other than Pan Guang's younger brother Pan Xing.
He was entertaining these brothers to drink and eat meat in the backyard just now, when he heard that something was wrong, he immediately rushed out with his men and joined the fight with the officers and soldiers.
And the group of natives brought by Lan San, pretending to be relatives, saw that something bad happened, and they also took out their weapons one after another, wanting to come up to rescue the two chiefs.
"Brothers, here comes the opportunity to serve the imperial court! Come on!"
On this side, Master Qianhu saw that no one resisted, and only squatted down a group of old and weak women and children. He still felt that he had no chance to make military exploits, so he came out for nothing this time.
Now seeing these two groups of men holding weapons, their excited eyes lit up!
For the Ming army, credit is counted according to the head.
Regardless of what these people are doing, they will all be reported as "rebels" by then!This credit is much easier to earn than actually going to the battlefield.
The men and horses on both sides raised their weapons and hacked at each other. The whole front yard was killed in darkness, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.
The innocent men, women, and children who came to the banquet were frightened and screamed and fled around. They accidentally suffered a catastrophe and were hacked to the ground. It was like hell on earth for a while.
When Wang Zheng dared to go to the front, what he saw was the blood rushing to the sky, and his eyes were full of killing and being killed.The whole yard was full of broken limbs and people with knife wounds.
"Pan Guang! Pan Xing!"
Wang Dadang stared at the two brothers who were tied up and kneeling at the end of the corridor.
"Brother! We were cheated!"
"what?"
Not only did Wang Zheng react, a gleaming big knife was placed on his neck from one side.
"Offended, Wang Da is in charge."
Looking at Wang Zheng's eyes that couldn't die, Yang Xiuxian said calmly, "My subordinate is Yang Xiuxian, the governor of Jinyiwei North Town. Jinyiwei was ordered to handle the case, and there were many concealments before, so I hope Haihan."
Hearing his true identity, Wang Zheng closed his eyes in despair.
"Ma'am! It's not good!"
Girl Duoduo ran wildly all the way, first to the study near the front yard.After seeing that there was no one there, he turned around and ran to the backyard where his wife and the young master lived.
"Ma'am! Ah Zhi! Run away! Run away!"
As she ran, she yelled loudly with tears in her eyes.
"Where's Madam? Where's Ah Zhi!"
She saw several girls running out from behind, trying to escape to the back door, so she hurriedly stopped one of them and asked.
"I, I don't know... Girl Duoduo, please let me go."
As the girl said, she pushed hard a lot.
A string of pearls fell from the girl's bundle and rolled to Duoduo's feet.
Mrs. Wang's jewelry and clothes have been taken care of by Duoduo herself over the years, how could she not recognize it, this string of pearls is clearly one of Mrs. Wang's favorite jewelry.
Duoduo immediately squatted down and picked up the chain.
The girl looked at the chain distressedly, stomped her feet, followed the steps of the girls in front, and rushed towards the back door.
Duoduo raised his head and took a closer look, and saw that each of them had a burden in their hands.Those "baggages" are all Madam's clothes!
They actually stole the lady's clothes and jewelry, and now they are going to abandon their masters and run for their lives.
"Bah! Thief!"
Duoduo held the chain tightly in his palm, and spat at their backs contemptuously.
"Where do you want to go?"
At this moment, an indisputable voice sounded in the backyard.
The bald father-in-law walked in with a group of Dongchang fans, and stopped all the frightened girls.
"Don't let any one go, arrest them all. Listen, you can only die if you resist. If you live, you may be betrayed. The miscellaneous family advises you to do it yourself."
A group of fans came forward and shouted at the girls.These eunuchs are not the kind of men who will pity and cherish jade.
The girls sobbed and gave up resistance, squatting in a circle.
"You girl, where do you want to go?"
The bald father-in-law turned his head and saw that the black-skinned girl wanted to run away, so he reached out to catch her.
Relying on his flexibility, Duoduo moved around close to his father-in-law's grasping hand, but he didn't touch his hand.
"hateful!"
Seeing that the girl kicked her feet, she wanted to jump onto the rocks of the rockery in the garden.
The bald father-in-law, furious and angry, simply and neatly pulled out a sharp knife from the waist of a woman beside him, and stabbed her obliquely in the back.
"Whoa..."
The pearl chain fell heavily to the ground, and the broken beads separated one by one. It bounced "tat-tat-tat" and rolled to the ground.
It's like the teardrops falling from the corners of girls Duoduo's eyes.
"Let's go... Madame, Ah Zhi... let's go..."
She stared into those dark eyes, looked at the empty palm with nothing left, and spit out the last few words...
"Aniang, what's the matter, where are we going?"
Wang Zhi was held in Mei Niang's arms, and hurried to the direction of the courtyard where the firewood house was located.
He put his arms around Mei Niang's shoulders, and opened his round and bright eyes in puzzlement.
"Aniang, why go to the back door? I'm going to the front. Su Suhe is still waiting for me, we agreed."
As he spoke, he kicked his legs, trying to struggle off of Mei Niang.
Mei Niang hurriedly walked, almost tripping over a raised stone on the ground, she staggered to a firm stand, gritted her teeth, and walked firmly and quickly.
She was just about to pick up Wang Zhi, who was sitting on the bed and playing, before going to meet relatives, when she suddenly heard a commotion outside.
He wanted to call Duoduo to go outside to find out what happened, but he remembered that she had gone out to meet that steward Yang just now, and she hadn't come back yet.
Mei Niang was still wondering why Brother Pan Guang didn't go out to take care of the trouble.
When she walked out of the room, she saw a girl running into the backyard in a panic, shouting as she ran, "It's killing! Officers and soldiers are coming in! Many people died!"
Before Mei Niang could ask clearly, another girl ran up from behind, crying and shouting that both the Dadang family and the Pan family brothers had been captured by the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers had almost killed all the guards. Killed in the back.
In the quiet backyard, it seemed as if water had splashed into a frying pan, and the female relatives were yelling and running around like headless chickens.
Mei Niang was so frightened that she hurriedly turned around and went back to the room. Just as she was about to lock the door, she heard a kick at the door.
Several maids who usually served her rushed in, ransacking the house like ransacking her jewelry box, silver and copper coins and boxes.Then she opened the closet, took out her clothes, wrapped up her jewelry and was about to run outside.
She was furious and stepped forward to stop her, but was angrily pushed to the ground by those girls.
"Ma'am, don't put on airs of the mistress at this time. The head of the family has committed too much trouble, and has recruited all the Jinyiwei in the capital. This time the disaster is imminent, so let's go our separate ways."
With that said, he backed out like the ebbing tide.
Sitting on the bed, Wang Zhi put down the toy, slipped off the edge of the bed, and walked to Mei Niang, who was sitting on the ground.
"What's wrong? Why do sisters take A Niang's things out?"
Mei Niang's beautiful eyes were full of horror, she turned around and hugged Wang Zhi's small shoulders tightly.Then, as if he had made up his mind, he picked him up and ran towards the woodshed.
Something happened to the boss, Jin Yiwei came in with officers and soldiers!
A few nights ago, when Wang Zheng was sleeping with him, he mentioned it worriedly.
Said that they were too deeply involved with the group of people on the "mountain", and now he regretted that he was colluding with them for the convenience of doing business.
Now seeing that the imperial court suppressed the bandits and put down the rebellion fiercely, I am afraid that if they really killed them, their Wang family would also be implicated.
Especially this time, the master Hou personally went down the mountain to escort the grain and grass, which has never happened before. In the past, every time the grain was transported, there were only two brothers from the Lan family.I'm afraid that the flames of war this time will be even worse than before.
At that time, she was still pinching Wang Zheng's beard, laughing that the older he was, the less courageous he was.In the past, the imperial court did not put down rebellions every year. When did they implicate their family?
Now that I think about it, she was too naive.
Mei Niang walked into the firewood room with the child in her arms, as the place closest to the back door, of course it was already empty.
A few big hens and ducks that were ready to be cooked were walking back and forth leisurely in the open space, thankfully they escaped unharmed today.
"Azhi, listen. We're going to play peek-a-boo now, with your Susu."
Mei Niang carried Ah Zhi into a corner, told him to sit down, and rubbed his head with her hands.
"Really? Will Susu play with me?"
Wang Zhi clapped his hands happily, "I've never played peek-a-boo with Susu before."
"Yes, and Brother Xiaoqian, do you remember him? He also wants to play together."
Seeing Wang Zhi nodding in a hurry, Meiniang smiled gratifiedly.
"Sit here and count to one thousand. If you count to one thousand and neither Susu nor Xiao Qian finds you, it means you have won. So you have to hide it well. No matter what others call you, you will not You can come out."
"Well, I can play peek-a-boo and I won't be found."
Hide and seek is Ah Zhi's strong point!
Xiao Wang's eyes glowed.
"You have to count in Chinese, and count to one thousand in Chinese, you know?"
Mei Niang thought for a while and said.
"Ah...but I only learned a few hundred in Chinese."
Wang Zhi frowned in embarrassment.
As far as one to one hundred, it's just that girl Duoduo has just taught him not long ago, and he is not very proficient yet.
"Then you can count dozens of 'one to one hundred'. Be sure to count to the full, if you can't count, you will lose."
Mei Niang touched his head, "Do you understand?"
"Dozens of 'one to a hundred'. Got it."
Although Xiao Wangzhi was full of doubts, he still nodded obediently.
"The most important thing is that you can only go out if Susu and Brother Xiaoqian call you, okay?"
Mei Niang's slender fingers brushed over Wang Zhi's handsome and lovely eyebrows, and there were tears and infinite affection in the eye sockets.
The last look, this was the last time she saw the child.
I'm sorry, mother is a cowardly woman, so I can't walk with Ah Zhi any longer.
"I understand, I understand. If someone else finds Ah Zhi earlier than Susu, then Susu will lose to him."
Wang Zhi said innocently, "I won't let others find me sooner than Susu. Well... I will definitely win."
Mei Niang held back her tears, hugged Wang Zhi into her arms, and hugged him tightly.
Sorry, mother is leaving.
Mother goes one step ahead and waits for your father "over there".
Moving the firewood and branches to the corner, surrounded Wang Zhi densely layer by layer, Mei Niang made a "shh" gesture to Wang Zhi who was squatting inside and said, "Mother is going to hide too. Mom, hide outside."
"Ok!"
Wang Zhi nodded, then covered his mouth vigilantly.
The game has started, no one can make a sound.
Mei Niang closed the chaimen, turned around and came to the courtyard.
In the turret on the wall of the yard stood a hatchet that the handyman used to chop wood on weekdays.
Mei Niang walked over slowly, listening to the sound of killing from far to near, she took the hatchet in her hand and slowly raised it up.
She used to be the daughter of a good family, and her ancestral home was not in Guangxi, but in the north.
Because of his uncle's crime, the whole family was exiled to this remote place.
Mother and her sister died of illness on the road from north to south.But she was sold into a courtyard and became an official prostitute.
Her surname is not Mei, but she just feels that a person like herself, living in such a place, is like plum blossoms falling into the mud.
She described herself as a plum blossom, lamented her unfortunate life experience, and named her flower "Mei Niang".
During the few years in the academy, with her natural beauty and first-hand calligraphy and painting skills, she gained a reputation in Zhangtai Liuxiang in Guilin Mansion.But in her heart, she is always looking forward to a man who can appear and take her away from this filthy world.
Just like that, Wang Zheng appeared.
Like a god, bring her light and hope.
He pities her, pets her, loves her, afraid of her pain, afraid of her cold, afraid of her being frightened, afraid of her seeing any darkness and pain, he regards her as the moonlight in the palm of his hand.
Even at that time, among all the guests who supported her, Wang Zheng was not the richest one, and she was willing to go with her.
As the head of the largest courtyard in Guilin Mansion, she accumulated a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry in just two or three years. After redeeming herself, she gave Wang Zheng the rest as capital to expand her business.
Because of this, Wang Zheng not only loves her, but also respects her.
It's not that she doesn't know the business that Wang Zheng is doing, and what happened after the business.
Wang Zheng never wanted to hide anything from her.
But she is a girl, and she regards her husband as her god, and she never thought of stopping it.
It can even be said that she enjoys the wealth and splendor of such a raging fire.
The feeling of being "Mrs. Wang" is so good. The feeling of being looked up to and hugged by others made her completely forget the pain of leaning on the door and laughing.
If this was a dream, she would never want to wake up for the rest of her life.
Yes, she is such a hopelessly vain woman.
After all, she could even abandon her own son.
Mei Niang smiled wryly.
Finally, retribution came, and the court found out what her husband had committed.Whether it is selling private salt, colluding with rebels, or threatening officials, it is a felony of ransacking one's family and exterminating one's family.
What are those girls running for?How could they run past those soldiers?
She has more experience than them in things like ransacking a house.
Mei Niang sneered.
You can't take those jewelry with you.
In the end, it was either confiscated, or those big soldiers who came to raid the house because it was cheaper.
Then, both men and women are sent to prison.
The prison in Xunzhou City should be colder and damper than the one in the north.
After all, it is already a southerly day.Not to mention prisons, such a large Wang family can also bask in the sun inside and outside their rooms these days.
After being sent to prison, there may be a long wait.
Squatting in prison every day, eating food like bad water, and having to be careful at night, not to be bitten by mice.
Her aunt died in this way. The cell bosses were afraid that she would infect others with the disease, so they dragged her out and set her on fire before she could die.
In the end, the imperial court ordered that the men beheaded, those who were imprisoned, and those who were exiled into the army.The remaining women and children, although they don't need to die, may be worse than death.
She has already tasted such suffering, and she absolutely does not want to experience it a second time in this life.
Mei Niang walked to the well, facing the reflection in the water, licked the hair that was scattered due to running, and pressed the hatchet to her chin.
Red blood splashed into the well, and when Mei Niang fell slowly, she was still looking at the sky.
I'm sorry, Zhi.
I'm sorry, Xiaoqian.
I am such an incompetent and weak woman, not worthy to be the mother of any of you.
Master, see you in heaven.
She closed her eyes and took her last breath with a smile.
When Wanda and Yang Xiuxian led people to the courtyard at the back door, what they saw was a lady lying on the side of the well, with her face upside down and a serene face.
If it weren't for the shocking wound under the neck, I thought she had just slept through it.
"She, she is our wife, Mei Niang."
The girl who had snatched Mrs. Wang's pearl necklace was pulled over by the soldiers and pointed at the corpse.
Wanda and the others lowered their heads and looked at Mei Niang's beautiful appearance despite her death.
Immediately understood the reason why Mei Qianzhang suddenly rebelled.
The corners of the eyes and the brows, the slightly raised corners of the mouth, seemed to be carved out of the same mold.
"Debt..."
Wanda couldn't bear to turn her head away and sighed.
He unbuttoned his coat and wanted to put it on the poor woman, but his arm was pressed down by Eunuch Tan Chang who was standing aside.
"Hush... my lord, listen."
Qin Chang grew up in the palace, and he was especially concerned about some subtleties.
He pointed to the closed chai gate and whispered to Wanda.
"97, 98, 99... Well, what hundred is this?"
In the dark pile of firewood, Xiao Wang snapped his fingers and counted while sobbing.
"Mum, I don't want to play anymore, I'm so scared, it's so dark here... um... I'm hungry."
The child's face was flushed from crying, and he couldn't stop hiccupping.
"Susu, where are you? Ah Zhi admits that he lost, come out and find me quickly."
"Go, it's really a girl who doesn't want to stay!"
Mei Niang smiled, opened the jewelry box, found a few hairpins, and gestured to the mirror one by one.
Just now a servant sneaked in and told Miss Duoduo that Brother Yang said he wanted to see him.
This happened to be heard by the wife, and she teased her, saying that today is not only Ah Zhi's "good day", but also her "good day".
Manager Yang is so anxious, he must have come to confess his love to her.
If she and Guanshi Yang really come to fruition, wouldn't the restaurant of Wang's and Wan's shopkeepers be "happy on top of happiness"?
She wants to prepare a dowry for her, and marry her off in a glorious manner.
Duoduo's cheeks were blushing, and he was embarrassed as he covered his hot face.
The maids along the way also teased her non-stop, congratulating her one after another.Duoduo kept laughing, walking with wind on his feet.
She also wore a Han girl's skirt today, with a red sash tied around her waist, which was smart and delicate.
Duoduo walked quickly to the end of the corridor, but he didn't dare to go out immediately.She stopped, gathered the hem of her clothes, took a deep breath, and walked outside.
What greeted her was not the affectionate Brother Yang, but a group of men who were entangled and fighting.
"What are you doing? Let go of me, Brother Yang!"
Seeing that Yang Xiuxian was confronting someone, Duoduo put his hand on his waist without thinking, trying to take off the whip.But he suddenly discovered that because of the change of skirt, the whip was not brought out at all.
However, she immediately put on a stance and besieged one of them together with Yang Xiuxian.
"Damn girl, how can you help them!"
The traitor was caught off guard by Duo Duo who suddenly jumped into the battle group.
"He's the bad guy!"
"Fart! What are you? How dare you say that, Brother Yang. Look!"
Although this person is wearing Yao people's clothes and looks a bit familiar, but at the moment, in the heart of Duoduo girl, no one is more important than Yang Xiuxian.
She was aggressive, punching like the wind, and merciless.
On this side, Wanda and Mei Qianzhang also started fighting.
The leg and foot skills of these two people, although one is half a catty and the other is eight liang, they are both the "eight fists of the king" of Xiasanlu.
But in the end, Mei Qianzhang had more on-the-spot experience. He slipped, avoided Wanda's shackles, and ran to the backyard like a loach.
Wanda grasped the air with one hand, clenched her fists with hatred, and followed in.
Mei Qianzhang said last night that three people disguised themselves and entered Wang's house.Now there are only two, and the other one should be in the back. Mei Qianzhang must not be allowed to get in the back and leak the news.
At this time, Pan Guang happened to come out of the study, and saw a young Yao man rushing in.He was just about to reprimand someone for being so unruly, when he saw Shopkeeper Wan running up behind him.
Shopkeeper Wan isn't eating in front, what are you doing here?
"Ahhhh!"
As soon as Mei Qian opened her mouth, she heard a scream coming from outside.
Wanda and Mei Qianzhang turned their heads together, and saw hundreds of soldiers in battle uniforms rushing in through the front door.
Each of them held a sharp steel knife, descending like a tiger, and charged at the people in the front yard.
It was Qiu Zijin who was panting and running to show them the way.
The people eating in the front yard were all relatives and business partners of the Wang family who had cooperated with each other for many years. Just now, they were having a good meal, and they were making fists to carry out the drinking orders.
All of a sudden, the cups, plates and bowls fell to the ground, and the scene was a mess.
"We are soldiers of the Xunzhou Guards, and we were ordered to come here today to hunt down the traitors in Datangxia. You are not allowed to resist, and you all squat down in place, waiting for your identity to be checked. Otherwise, we will all be regarded as the accomplices of the traitors and be killed on the spot. !"
Master Qianhu took the lead and rushed to the forefront.
It happened that there was a young boy standing beside him. Seeing how terrifying they were, he couldn't help but screamed and turned to run away.
Seeing that what he just said was disobeyed, the thousand households were furious.So he raised the knife and slashed straight at the boy's back.
Immediately, blood gushed out from his back, the screaming stopped abruptly, and the young man fell slowly.
Until the moment he threw himself on the ground, his eyes were still wide open, unable to believe what happened before his eyes.
"I said, all squat down and wait for investigation, otherwise this person will be your fate!"
Qianhu shouted loudly holding up the steel knife stained with red blood.
This military master has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he knows that the most important thing now is to shock people's hearts.Otherwise, even if the small people of Dousheng gather and scream, it will cause chaos.
There are less than 800 people in their guards, more than half of them were assigned to the outside of the city and Wang Yuanwai's house to intercept and chase the group of rebels who went down the mountain to transport food, as well as Wang Yuanwai's family members who wanted to escape, and soldiers who came here But two or three hundred.
If these people really resisted, it would cause great chaos.
Although this young man died pitifully, but after seeing his end, no one should try to make unnecessary resistance again.
"Officers and soldiers? Why are there officers and soldiers?"
Duoduo even forgot to attack.
"Are you stupid? Of course they attracted them!"
Lan San was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.
Here, Yang Xiuxian backed the thief step by step, stretched out his right leg, and kicked Lan San's knee hard.
Lan San wailed and lay on the ground, but Yang Xiuxian twisted his arm around his back, and with a "click", his shoulder joints were directly removed.
"Nonsense! No way! Why did Brother Yang invite officers and soldiers in?"
Duoduo took two steps back in disbelief.
"Because they are Jinyiwei!"
Mei Qianzhang finally called out.
"Quick! Miss Duoduo, go in and run away with your wife and Ah Zhi! There are officers and soldiers brought in by Xiaoqiu at the front door. Hurry up and escape through the back door."
"Jinyiwei?!"
Hearing what Mei Qianzhang said, Pan Guang looked at Wanda in disbelief.
The latter couldn't bear to be looked at by his sharp gaze, and guiltily turned his head slightly, not daring to meet his gaze.
He is really not suitable for such a difficult job as an undercover agent!
Wanda kept cursing herself secretly.
No wonder, no wonder this little hotel is so full of talent.
Only then did Pan Guang suddenly realize.
Whether it is Guanshi Yang, Qiu Accountant, or High Nursing Institute, wherever they are placed, they are all talents in charge of their own.These amazingly talented people are crowded in a restaurant in the small city of Xunzhou. It turns out that they are here to investigate the rebels!
When Pan Guang thought about how he had confided in them and regarded them as confidantes in the past few months, he felt angry and unstoppable.
No... In that small port, it was he who first approached them and begged the so-called "Treasurer Wan" to make pastries for the little master, which caused this disaster.
He is the culprit, he led the wolf into the house and killed the head of the house!
Pan Guang was angry and regretful at the same time, and finally he glared at Wanda almost angrily.
He wished he could eat his flesh alive and tear him to pieces.
"A lot, hurry up! Go to the backyard and inform the head of the house and his wife, I will stop them here."
Pan Guang jumped in front of Wanda, and slashed his chest fiercely, as if to kill him.
In the nick of time, Wanda squatted down and roguely made a "lazy donkey roll", only to escape this thunderous palm by chance.
At this moment, Duoduo only felt that she was an ant on a hot pot, and her brain was a ball of burnt paste. She didn't understand at all, why Brother Yang was Jin Yiwei.
Isn't today A Zhi's birthday?
Didn't Brother Yang ask his servant to call her here just to confess his love to her?
What happened to the group of officers and soldiers outside?
"Go, girl! Otherwise, it's really too late!"
Pan Guang yelled at her.
The head of the family made a miscalculation, he had no choice but to leave with his wife and young master.
Pan Guang looked at Wanda with resentful eyes.
This person has completely betrayed the trust of the head of the family, and has driven them to such a state that he must not be allowed to leave alive.
Even if he died here today, Pan Guang would bring this cunning "Treasurer Wan" to be buried with him!
Wanda was laying on the ground, facing the corner of Pan Guang's slashing from top to bottom, and behind him was the whole wall, and there was nowhere to escape at this moment.
"grown ups!"
Yang Xiuxian and Gao Hui dropped the culprit who was fighting, and were about to rush over to save him, when Wanda felt a black shadow flash in front of him...
"puff……"
Mei Qianzhang rolled her eyes, she clearly heard the sound of her ribs breaking.
His face was blue and red, and a mouthful of salty-sweet blood spurted out from his throat, all of which spilled on his pan-gone pants.
"Mei Qianzhang!"
Wanda yelled and put her arms around his shoulders that had fallen suddenly.
"Brother Xiaoqian! Why do you...?"
Pan Guang was completely confused. It stands to reason that Brother Xiaoqian and Manager Wan's manager Yang should be in the same group, but it happened that he came to report the letter.
But now that he was going to attack shopkeeper Wan, the traitor who had betrayed him and the head of the family, why did Xiaoqian rush out to protect him again?
"Mei Qianzhang, what do you mean? Are you loyal or traitor?!"
Even if there was only one person separated, Wanda almost screamed out from the pain of the kick just now, not to mention Mei Qianzhang whose bones were broken by the kick.
It's hard for Wanda to imagine how much pain he is enduring now.
"Sorry, Master Wan... I may not be able to be a 'good person' after all."
Blood kept flowing from the corner of Mei Qianzhang's mouth, his face was ashen, and he forced a smile that was uglier than crying at Wanda.
"As the saying goes, 'Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both', there is nothing wrong with that... If I had known this, I would rather not have seen her in this life, nor have I met you..."
He admitted that he was selfish, cowardly, unable to take care of the overall situation, and was a born "thief bone".
But, sorry, I really want to be a good person...
Mei Qianzhang spat out a mouthful of blood with a smile, her head gradually drooped, and finally fell silently into Wanda's arms.
"Mei Qianzhang! Mei Qianzhang!"
Wanda only felt that the person in his arms suddenly became heavier, no matter how he called and shook, Mei Qianzhang did not respond at all.He had never faced such a scene of life and death, and he couldn't even cry out in the end.
Duoduo looked at the sudden change in front of her in disbelief, holding on to the railing of the corridor, she finally woke up like a dream, staring at Yang Xiuxian crazily with hateful eyes.
He lied to her!
He deliberately approached her to investigate the case!
This man lied to himself from beginning to end.
If he had a knife in his hand, Duoduo would wish to cut this so-called "Brother Yang" into pieces right now.
But not now, she has more important things to do.
Duoduo bent down, tore off the hem of the skirt that was dragging on the ground, and then ran towards the inner courtyard with big strides.
Here, Yang Xiuxian jumped up, pointed his elbow at Pan Guang who was about to continue attacking Wanda, and slammed into him with great force.
Pan Guang didn't notice for a moment, and was knocked to the ground by him.
At this time, a group of warriors armed with various weapons rushed out from the side courtyard and confronted the officers and soldiers.
They are the bodyguards and guards of the Wang family caravan, and they are responsible for guarding the outside of the Wang family house on weekdays.
"Brothers, protect the head of the family! Don't let them go back!"
The leader of the team was none other than Pan Guang's younger brother Pan Xing.
He was entertaining these brothers to drink and eat meat in the backyard just now, when he heard that something was wrong, he immediately rushed out with his men and joined the fight with the officers and soldiers.
And the group of natives brought by Lan San, pretending to be relatives, saw that something bad happened, and they also took out their weapons one after another, wanting to come up to rescue the two chiefs.
"Brothers, here comes the opportunity to serve the imperial court! Come on!"
On this side, Master Qianhu saw that no one resisted, and only squatted down a group of old and weak women and children. He still felt that he had no chance to make military exploits, so he came out for nothing this time.
Now seeing these two groups of men holding weapons, their excited eyes lit up!
For the Ming army, credit is counted according to the head.
Regardless of what these people are doing, they will all be reported as "rebels" by then!This credit is much easier to earn than actually going to the battlefield.
The men and horses on both sides raised their weapons and hacked at each other. The whole front yard was killed in darkness, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.
The innocent men, women, and children who came to the banquet were frightened and screamed and fled around. They accidentally suffered a catastrophe and were hacked to the ground. It was like hell on earth for a while.
When Wang Zheng dared to go to the front, what he saw was the blood rushing to the sky, and his eyes were full of killing and being killed.The whole yard was full of broken limbs and people with knife wounds.
"Pan Guang! Pan Xing!"
Wang Dadang stared at the two brothers who were tied up and kneeling at the end of the corridor.
"Brother! We were cheated!"
"what?"
Not only did Wang Zheng react, a gleaming big knife was placed on his neck from one side.
"Offended, Wang Da is in charge."
Looking at Wang Zheng's eyes that couldn't die, Yang Xiuxian said calmly, "My subordinate is Yang Xiuxian, the governor of Jinyiwei North Town. Jinyiwei was ordered to handle the case, and there were many concealments before, so I hope Haihan."
Hearing his true identity, Wang Zheng closed his eyes in despair.
"Ma'am! It's not good!"
Girl Duoduo ran wildly all the way, first to the study near the front yard.After seeing that there was no one there, he turned around and ran to the backyard where his wife and the young master lived.
"Ma'am! Ah Zhi! Run away! Run away!"
As she ran, she yelled loudly with tears in her eyes.
"Where's Madam? Where's Ah Zhi!"
She saw several girls running out from behind, trying to escape to the back door, so she hurriedly stopped one of them and asked.
"I, I don't know... Girl Duoduo, please let me go."
As the girl said, she pushed hard a lot.
A string of pearls fell from the girl's bundle and rolled to Duoduo's feet.
Mrs. Wang's jewelry and clothes have been taken care of by Duoduo herself over the years, how could she not recognize it, this string of pearls is clearly one of Mrs. Wang's favorite jewelry.
Duoduo immediately squatted down and picked up the chain.
The girl looked at the chain distressedly, stomped her feet, followed the steps of the girls in front, and rushed towards the back door.
Duoduo raised his head and took a closer look, and saw that each of them had a burden in their hands.Those "baggages" are all Madam's clothes!
They actually stole the lady's clothes and jewelry, and now they are going to abandon their masters and run for their lives.
"Bah! Thief!"
Duoduo held the chain tightly in his palm, and spat at their backs contemptuously.
"Where do you want to go?"
At this moment, an indisputable voice sounded in the backyard.
The bald father-in-law walked in with a group of Dongchang fans, and stopped all the frightened girls.
"Don't let any one go, arrest them all. Listen, you can only die if you resist. If you live, you may be betrayed. The miscellaneous family advises you to do it yourself."
A group of fans came forward and shouted at the girls.These eunuchs are not the kind of men who will pity and cherish jade.
The girls sobbed and gave up resistance, squatting in a circle.
"You girl, where do you want to go?"
The bald father-in-law turned his head and saw that the black-skinned girl wanted to run away, so he reached out to catch her.
Relying on his flexibility, Duoduo moved around close to his father-in-law's grasping hand, but he didn't touch his hand.
"hateful!"
Seeing that the girl kicked her feet, she wanted to jump onto the rocks of the rockery in the garden.
The bald father-in-law, furious and angry, simply and neatly pulled out a sharp knife from the waist of a woman beside him, and stabbed her obliquely in the back.
"Whoa..."
The pearl chain fell heavily to the ground, and the broken beads separated one by one. It bounced "tat-tat-tat" and rolled to the ground.
It's like the teardrops falling from the corners of girls Duoduo's eyes.
"Let's go... Madame, Ah Zhi... let's go..."
She stared into those dark eyes, looked at the empty palm with nothing left, and spit out the last few words...
"Aniang, what's the matter, where are we going?"
Wang Zhi was held in Mei Niang's arms, and hurried to the direction of the courtyard where the firewood house was located.
He put his arms around Mei Niang's shoulders, and opened his round and bright eyes in puzzlement.
"Aniang, why go to the back door? I'm going to the front. Su Suhe is still waiting for me, we agreed."
As he spoke, he kicked his legs, trying to struggle off of Mei Niang.
Mei Niang hurriedly walked, almost tripping over a raised stone on the ground, she staggered to a firm stand, gritted her teeth, and walked firmly and quickly.
She was just about to pick up Wang Zhi, who was sitting on the bed and playing, before going to meet relatives, when she suddenly heard a commotion outside.
He wanted to call Duoduo to go outside to find out what happened, but he remembered that she had gone out to meet that steward Yang just now, and she hadn't come back yet.
Mei Niang was still wondering why Brother Pan Guang didn't go out to take care of the trouble.
When she walked out of the room, she saw a girl running into the backyard in a panic, shouting as she ran, "It's killing! Officers and soldiers are coming in! Many people died!"
Before Mei Niang could ask clearly, another girl ran up from behind, crying and shouting that both the Dadang family and the Pan family brothers had been captured by the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers had almost killed all the guards. Killed in the back.
In the quiet backyard, it seemed as if water had splashed into a frying pan, and the female relatives were yelling and running around like headless chickens.
Mei Niang was so frightened that she hurriedly turned around and went back to the room. Just as she was about to lock the door, she heard a kick at the door.
Several maids who usually served her rushed in, ransacking the house like ransacking her jewelry box, silver and copper coins and boxes.Then she opened the closet, took out her clothes, wrapped up her jewelry and was about to run outside.
She was furious and stepped forward to stop her, but was angrily pushed to the ground by those girls.
"Ma'am, don't put on airs of the mistress at this time. The head of the family has committed too much trouble, and has recruited all the Jinyiwei in the capital. This time the disaster is imminent, so let's go our separate ways."
With that said, he backed out like the ebbing tide.
Sitting on the bed, Wang Zhi put down the toy, slipped off the edge of the bed, and walked to Mei Niang, who was sitting on the ground.
"What's wrong? Why do sisters take A Niang's things out?"
Mei Niang's beautiful eyes were full of horror, she turned around and hugged Wang Zhi's small shoulders tightly.Then, as if he had made up his mind, he picked him up and ran towards the woodshed.
Something happened to the boss, Jin Yiwei came in with officers and soldiers!
A few nights ago, when Wang Zheng was sleeping with him, he mentioned it worriedly.
Said that they were too deeply involved with the group of people on the "mountain", and now he regretted that he was colluding with them for the convenience of doing business.
Now seeing that the imperial court suppressed the bandits and put down the rebellion fiercely, I am afraid that if they really killed them, their Wang family would also be implicated.
Especially this time, the master Hou personally went down the mountain to escort the grain and grass, which has never happened before. In the past, every time the grain was transported, there were only two brothers from the Lan family.I'm afraid that the flames of war this time will be even worse than before.
At that time, she was still pinching Wang Zheng's beard, laughing that the older he was, the less courageous he was.In the past, the imperial court did not put down rebellions every year. When did they implicate their family?
Now that I think about it, she was too naive.
Mei Niang walked into the firewood room with the child in her arms, as the place closest to the back door, of course it was already empty.
A few big hens and ducks that were ready to be cooked were walking back and forth leisurely in the open space, thankfully they escaped unharmed today.
"Azhi, listen. We're going to play peek-a-boo now, with your Susu."
Mei Niang carried Ah Zhi into a corner, told him to sit down, and rubbed his head with her hands.
"Really? Will Susu play with me?"
Wang Zhi clapped his hands happily, "I've never played peek-a-boo with Susu before."
"Yes, and Brother Xiaoqian, do you remember him? He also wants to play together."
Seeing Wang Zhi nodding in a hurry, Meiniang smiled gratifiedly.
"Sit here and count to one thousand. If you count to one thousand and neither Susu nor Xiao Qian finds you, it means you have won. So you have to hide it well. No matter what others call you, you will not You can come out."
"Well, I can play peek-a-boo and I won't be found."
Hide and seek is Ah Zhi's strong point!
Xiao Wang's eyes glowed.
"You have to count in Chinese, and count to one thousand in Chinese, you know?"
Mei Niang thought for a while and said.
"Ah...but I only learned a few hundred in Chinese."
Wang Zhi frowned in embarrassment.
As far as one to one hundred, it's just that girl Duoduo has just taught him not long ago, and he is not very proficient yet.
"Then you can count dozens of 'one to one hundred'. Be sure to count to the full, if you can't count, you will lose."
Mei Niang touched his head, "Do you understand?"
"Dozens of 'one to a hundred'. Got it."
Although Xiao Wangzhi was full of doubts, he still nodded obediently.
"The most important thing is that you can only go out if Susu and Brother Xiaoqian call you, okay?"
Mei Niang's slender fingers brushed over Wang Zhi's handsome and lovely eyebrows, and there were tears and infinite affection in the eye sockets.
The last look, this was the last time she saw the child.
I'm sorry, mother is a cowardly woman, so I can't walk with Ah Zhi any longer.
"I understand, I understand. If someone else finds Ah Zhi earlier than Susu, then Susu will lose to him."
Wang Zhi said innocently, "I won't let others find me sooner than Susu. Well... I will definitely win."
Mei Niang held back her tears, hugged Wang Zhi into her arms, and hugged him tightly.
Sorry, mother is leaving.
Mother goes one step ahead and waits for your father "over there".
Moving the firewood and branches to the corner, surrounded Wang Zhi densely layer by layer, Mei Niang made a "shh" gesture to Wang Zhi who was squatting inside and said, "Mother is going to hide too. Mom, hide outside."
"Ok!"
Wang Zhi nodded, then covered his mouth vigilantly.
The game has started, no one can make a sound.
Mei Niang closed the chaimen, turned around and came to the courtyard.
In the turret on the wall of the yard stood a hatchet that the handyman used to chop wood on weekdays.
Mei Niang walked over slowly, listening to the sound of killing from far to near, she took the hatchet in her hand and slowly raised it up.
She used to be the daughter of a good family, and her ancestral home was not in Guangxi, but in the north.
Because of his uncle's crime, the whole family was exiled to this remote place.
Mother and her sister died of illness on the road from north to south.But she was sold into a courtyard and became an official prostitute.
Her surname is not Mei, but she just feels that a person like herself, living in such a place, is like plum blossoms falling into the mud.
She described herself as a plum blossom, lamented her unfortunate life experience, and named her flower "Mei Niang".
During the few years in the academy, with her natural beauty and first-hand calligraphy and painting skills, she gained a reputation in Zhangtai Liuxiang in Guilin Mansion.But in her heart, she is always looking forward to a man who can appear and take her away from this filthy world.
Just like that, Wang Zheng appeared.
Like a god, bring her light and hope.
He pities her, pets her, loves her, afraid of her pain, afraid of her cold, afraid of her being frightened, afraid of her seeing any darkness and pain, he regards her as the moonlight in the palm of his hand.
Even at that time, among all the guests who supported her, Wang Zheng was not the richest one, and she was willing to go with her.
As the head of the largest courtyard in Guilin Mansion, she accumulated a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry in just two or three years. After redeeming herself, she gave Wang Zheng the rest as capital to expand her business.
Because of this, Wang Zheng not only loves her, but also respects her.
It's not that she doesn't know the business that Wang Zheng is doing, and what happened after the business.
Wang Zheng never wanted to hide anything from her.
But she is a girl, and she regards her husband as her god, and she never thought of stopping it.
It can even be said that she enjoys the wealth and splendor of such a raging fire.
The feeling of being "Mrs. Wang" is so good. The feeling of being looked up to and hugged by others made her completely forget the pain of leaning on the door and laughing.
If this was a dream, she would never want to wake up for the rest of her life.
Yes, she is such a hopelessly vain woman.
After all, she could even abandon her own son.
Mei Niang smiled wryly.
Finally, retribution came, and the court found out what her husband had committed.Whether it is selling private salt, colluding with rebels, or threatening officials, it is a felony of ransacking one's family and exterminating one's family.
What are those girls running for?How could they run past those soldiers?
She has more experience than them in things like ransacking a house.
Mei Niang sneered.
You can't take those jewelry with you.
In the end, it was either confiscated, or those big soldiers who came to raid the house because it was cheaper.
Then, both men and women are sent to prison.
The prison in Xunzhou City should be colder and damper than the one in the north.
After all, it is already a southerly day.Not to mention prisons, such a large Wang family can also bask in the sun inside and outside their rooms these days.
After being sent to prison, there may be a long wait.
Squatting in prison every day, eating food like bad water, and having to be careful at night, not to be bitten by mice.
Her aunt died in this way. The cell bosses were afraid that she would infect others with the disease, so they dragged her out and set her on fire before she could die.
In the end, the imperial court ordered that the men beheaded, those who were imprisoned, and those who were exiled into the army.The remaining women and children, although they don't need to die, may be worse than death.
She has already tasted such suffering, and she absolutely does not want to experience it a second time in this life.
Mei Niang walked to the well, facing the reflection in the water, licked the hair that was scattered due to running, and pressed the hatchet to her chin.
Red blood splashed into the well, and when Mei Niang fell slowly, she was still looking at the sky.
I'm sorry, Zhi.
I'm sorry, Xiaoqian.
I am such an incompetent and weak woman, not worthy to be the mother of any of you.
Master, see you in heaven.
She closed her eyes and took her last breath with a smile.
When Wanda and Yang Xiuxian led people to the courtyard at the back door, what they saw was a lady lying on the side of the well, with her face upside down and a serene face.
If it weren't for the shocking wound under the neck, I thought she had just slept through it.
"She, she is our wife, Mei Niang."
The girl who had snatched Mrs. Wang's pearl necklace was pulled over by the soldiers and pointed at the corpse.
Wanda and the others lowered their heads and looked at Mei Niang's beautiful appearance despite her death.
Immediately understood the reason why Mei Qianzhang suddenly rebelled.
The corners of the eyes and the brows, the slightly raised corners of the mouth, seemed to be carved out of the same mold.
"Debt..."
Wanda couldn't bear to turn her head away and sighed.
He unbuttoned his coat and wanted to put it on the poor woman, but his arm was pressed down by Eunuch Tan Chang who was standing aside.
"Hush... my lord, listen."
Qin Chang grew up in the palace, and he was especially concerned about some subtleties.
He pointed to the closed chai gate and whispered to Wanda.
"97, 98, 99... Well, what hundred is this?"
In the dark pile of firewood, Xiao Wang snapped his fingers and counted while sobbing.
"Mum, I don't want to play anymore, I'm so scared, it's so dark here... um... I'm hungry."
The child's face was flushed from crying, and he couldn't stop hiccupping.
"Susu, where are you? Ah Zhi admits that he lost, come out and find me quickly."
