Chapter 766 The most expected person

Hui Niang learned that she was dead without knowing it.

This brought a great psychological impact on her. She began to be afraid that she would be killed or that the court would find out the truth of the matter, and would implicate her daughter and behead her.

Hui Niang's body was trembling. It was not until dawn that she was taken into the cell. Because nearly half of the prison numbers in this cell were burned down, all prisoners could only be detained in a centralized manner. Hui Niang was imprisoned with three or four female prisoners, and Liu Po ​​and the prison guard were guarding outside and walked over to take a look from time to time.

After struggling for a night, the female prisoners were already very tired at this time. They quickly fell asleep against the wall. Although Hui Niang felt her eyes were astringent, she was not sleepy at all. She was afraid that something would happen next.

In the morning, people from the Censorate and Dali Temple came to check the fire in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Then even the people from the Dongchang and Jinyiwei came. Huiniang tried to lower her head and avoid being seen.

"There is an explanation from above. Since five people have been reported to die, there will be only five people. If anyone leaks it, he will be killed without mercy!" Hui Niang was worried and heard the officials of the Ministry of Justice at the door explaining to Liu Po.

Liu Po's voice came: "My sir, the old woman remembers what she said. The old woman understands what she should say, and she will not say what she should not say."

After that, Liu Po ​​and several jailers were called out to question one after another. When they came back, they all looked normal and they laughed from time to time. It can be seen that the fire did not affect these jailers and aunts who were holding iron rice bowls in the prison cells.

Hui Niang waited until noon in a state of anxiety and finally started to eat. She still had very rough corn porridge with bran and pebbles, and a plate of boiled cabbage that didn't even taste salty.

Hui Niang picked up her rice bowl and suddenly felt sad. She didn't feel it when she was eating good food before, but now she suddenly had mussels, which made her feel extremely sad.

However, all this is self-inflicted!

I lived a life that others envied, but for the sake of the tone in my heart, I refused to listen to the advice and insisted on working hard, but in the end I got myself in.

"If you don't eat, I'll eat!"

A strong woman next to her in her early thirties, seeing that Hui Niang held the bowl in her hand and refused to eat it, she snatched the thick bowl directly and drank it in a few sips.

Hui Niang wanted to say something, the other party gave her a fierce look and threw the thick bowl back, "What eats you is worthy of you! Look at your tender skin and flesh. Your master loved you very much in the past? Don't you think you are a wife, but I am just a servant who chops firewood in the kitchen, but when you get here, all prisoners are the same."

"Do you think you're ugly after you've blacked out your face? Those guys are smarter than monkeys. When will you be lustful and lustful, you'll know that you'll be powerful!"

Hui Niang accepted it and did not dare to say anything because she had little feet, and even if she had some strength, she could not fight with the stout woman who often did heavy work in front of her.

The women were full, and some found a corner to lie on the straw and fell asleep, while others said about the fire last night. Hui Niang shrank and hid in the corner and did not dare to speak. She hugged her legs and felt helpless. She hoped that someone would be her support at this time. She naturally thought of Shen Xi and the words she said when she came to visit her the day before yesterday. Every word was imprinted in her mind.

"The Lu woman who burned to death heard that she was a poisonous woman. She didn't say that she had killed her husband, but she even showed up in public. There are such shameless people in this world!"

The strong woman began to talk about Hui Niang, but she was talking about the one who had already "dead". "It's good to die, die early, and you'll be born sooner or later. Anyway, you can't even enter the ancestral grave. This kind of woman lives to embarrass her husband's family."

In this era, the idea of ​​the Three Obediences and Four Virtues was deeply rooted. When Hui Niang heard this, she looked ashamed and regretted showing up. In the past, she could barely maintain her life with her daughter. It was actually quite good, but she met the Shen family. I wonder if it was lucky or unfortunate.

"If I were asked to choose again, I still hope to meet their family." Hui Niang shed tears in her eyes and whispered softly, "At least we have known each other, and we have no regrets in this life!"

Hui Niang felt extremely sad, and leaned against her knees and gradually fell asleep.

Before she knew it, it was dusk and when it was time for dinner, Hui Niang was still sleepy. She thought how good it would be to be able to sleep forever.

Just when he was in a daze, when Hui Niang heard the sound of unlocking the lock, she opened her eyes and saw Liu Po ​​walking into the cell and shouting: "The prisoners must be detained separately and take the person away!"

A group of prisoners came up immediately. The female prisoners were escorted and left by one prisoner, but two people stood beside Hui Niang.

Other female prisoners were escorted to a temporary repaired prison inside the prison, not far from the previous fire, while Hui Niang was escorted out.

"Where is this going?"

Hui Niang was extremely nervous. She felt that this was the way out of the cell. If someone wanted to kill her, no one could make the decision for her, because she was "dead" and was already a person who did not exist in this world at all.

"Madam Qin, don't act rashly. We have long put our heads on the belt. If you move around, we will kill you and even destroy your body!"

The prison guard spoke out and threatened Hui Niang so much that she was silent and looked down on her head.

Hui Niang has seen the world in the Chamber of Commerce on weekdays and is very eloquent, but in the face of these murderers, she found herself very powerless, just like grass mustard and duckweed floating on the water, and she couldn't help it.

In the end, Hui Niang was not taken to the main entrance of the prison, but came to a cell where the prisoners were interrogated separately. When she got inside, Hui Niang was blindfolded. She was about to scream, but her mouth was blocked with cloth. She struggled desperately, but her hands and feet were quickly tied, even her neck and waist and abdomen were no exception. She was really tied up.

"Woooooo"

Hui Niang felt extremely sad and secretly regretful. She shouldn't have listened to Shen Xi at all. Perhaps the situation before was better than she was now.

She was shed tears and was lifted up straight. When her body lightened, she felt thrown into a carriage and her body was hurt.

"Prevent, find a place to bury it! Hi, another one died in a blink of an eye, it's so unlucky!" Someone was talking.

Hui Niang felt calm when she heard that these people were going to bury herself alive.

Death is no longer a terrifying thing for her, but she has been hoping for it for a long time, and doing so is not a violation of the promise she made to Shen Xi.

The carriage drove out several gates in succession, and the guards were all allowed to take a quick look.

The carriage drove out of the back door of the Ministry of Justice and continued to move forward, turning two or three streets in succession, and finally stopped at an alley. Soon, a person came up and replaced the man who had been driving before. Just as he was about to get off, a voice sounded: "Little Fish, why didn't he look at him?"

Hui Niang could hear clearly, but it was Liu Po's voice.

"Aunt Liu, I'm having something important to do now. Can we talk about it later?" The new driver replied.

But Liu Po ​​ignored it and sat straight on the frame.

In order to avoid suspicion, the driver had to drive the carriage.

Liu Po ​​teased: "Xiao Yuer, I heard that you are now working in the 24th Prison. Do you want the old lady to introduce you to a few girls? If one day you are suddenly cleansed, you won't be able to use it."

"No, I'm trying to get out of the Imperial Horse Prison." Although the man driving the car seemed impatient, he still answered with a stingy bullet.

Liu Po ​​smiled and said, "You should make a lot of money by doing this big deal, right? Why do you have money? You should find a few more women and give birth to a few fat boys for you. In this way, even if you accidentally offend Shangguan Jing, it can be considered as leaving behind for your Peng family."

Then the conversation between Liu Po ​​and the driver almost all revolved around the woman. Although the driver was reluctant, he still responded from time to time.

While talking, Liu Po ​​lifted the curtains in the carriage to observe the situation inside. Hui Niang felt a cool breeze blowing, and was about to struggle when Liu Po ​​slapped in the face.

The person who drove the car said, "Aunt Liu, be gentle, this is a good baby. If you break it, we will not make any money."

"Why? I feel distressed? Should I find a place where no one is to stop and let you have a good time? It's okay, I'm not a girl. Even if I send it there, I don't know." Liu Po ​​said sarcastically.

The man who drove the car quickly said, "Aunt Liu, you want me to be stabbed by someone. If I really do this, I will only be a fool if I die in the future."

Liu Po ​​laughed and said, "Look at your timidity, but I don't know which one is too stupid to be so frustrated. Tomorrow, Shuntian Mansion will give her a new identity. Let's discuss selling a few women to you!"

After walking for more than half an hour, the carriage stopped and the driver said, "Aunt Liu, you see, the person who bought this dead body doesn't want people to know his identity. Do you always go back first?"

"Boy, I want to get rid of me, the old woman? It's not that easy!"

Po Liu seemed very angry.

But the driver was aware of the situation, and the rustling sound rang out, and finally the sound of silver ingots colliding. With silver leading the way, it was natural that everything was easy to say. Liu Po ​​got off the car happily and left.

The person who drove the car jumped onto the carriage again, lifted the curtain and said, "Madam, please forgive me. I will arrive at the place soon. You are safely out of prison!"

Hui Niang still didn't quite understand what was going on.

I was clearly a major criminal who was arrested by the government. Now that the case has not been concluded, I suddenly became "dead". Now it seems that it was clear that the people from the Ministry of Justice who found a scapegoat and replaced her.

Who is it?

Hui Niang's heart jumped up unyieldingly. She immediately thought of Shen Xi. Among the people she knew, the only one who had the ability to rescue her in this way seemed to be Shen Xi. But she didn't dare to have too many delusions, because she knew that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The carriage took another half an hour to stop. Hui Niang was already calm, but she still had a little more expectations for the future.

The driver jumped out of the carriage, and then the voice came: "Sir, the dead body has been sent to you, no one follows you along the way."

The footsteps were heard, and there was still a little light. Unfortunately, Hui Niang was covered in her eyes and her mouth was "whimpering", but she couldn't speak.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you"

The driver seems to have received some reward. "Sir, I haven't asked you what you mean, but I think you are familiar with this person and you should not need someone to discipline him. The younger one will send him to you directly. You can take the person away. You must take him away in the near future. If someone is accidentally lost, many people may want their heads to fall."

Soon, there was a sound of boxes falling to the ground and moving.

Hui Niang was listening when suddenly the curtain of the car was opened from outside, and a light lit in front of her eyes. Hui Niang wanted to know who was outside, so she couldn't help but raise her head.

Suddenly someone got on the carriage and put his hand on her body.

"Woooooo"

Hui Niang struggled for a few times, but it was useless at all. She was directly picked up by the man in the waist.

The man was very strong, like a strong man. Hui Niang felt that her body was lighter and her body left the car, and the man was about to hold her out of the car.

"Sir, I'll give you a horse stool."

The driver quickly brought the horse stool. The person holding her was not pretentious and walked down the horse stool. But Hui Niang was unyielding and struggled desperately, even if her body was tied up, she could not bear the awkward feeling of being held in her arms.

"Don't move!"

Suddenly a voice came, very low, but Hui Niang became honest in an instant, and tears quickly slid down from the corners of her eyes, because the owner of this voice was nothing but Shen Xi, whom she expected.

"You can bring these four boxes of silver back, thank you for your hard work!"

After Shen Xi finished speaking to the person who drove the car, he carried Hui Niang into another carriage.

This time the carriage was no longer hard wood, but soft pillows and soft quilts were laid.

Shen Xi did not untie Hui Niang's blindfold cloth and gag cloth, and even ignored the ropes on her body. After putting her delicate body down, Shen Xi drove the car himself, and there was another bump.

However, this time, Hui Niang's heart was much warmer, less worried and more guilty and ashamed.

There is also a kind of happiness.

She leaned her head against the soft pillow and imagined that this was Shen Xi's arms. Unfortunately, Shen Xi was driving a car outside and did not give her the chance to snuggle.
