Chapter 44: Weak
Chapter 44 Weakness
In the evening, a man in a green official uniform walked in from the entrance to the prison in Changling County, where the oil lamps were already flickering.
“Master Wei, the three of them were the mountain bandits who were caught by the county government last time.”
Changling county magistrate Song Chong who was walking in front said respectfully.
“Well, have other bandits been found out?”
Wei Jingfu looked into one of the cells. Inside were three prisoners with disheveled hair, who seemed to have been incarcerated for some time.
“This… there was a torture trial, but when Shi Zhuo was about to arrive, there was only an empty cottage left…”
Song Chong lowered his head and replied.
“In this case, it is useless to keep these three people, so let’s execute them tonight.”
After Wei Jingfu finished speaking in a commanding tone, the three men in the cell panicked and began to beg for mercy one after another.
“Sir, this…” Song Chong was still a little hesitant. How could this prisoner be executed? You must go through procedures such as the reason for the record.
“The mountain bandits have done a lot of evil and harmed many innocent people. If you stay for one more day, you will waste an extra ration. There is no need to argue about this matter.”
Wei Jingfu’s coercion instantly made Song Chong shut up, and even the jailer on the side held his breath, as if he was afraid of angering the state official.
“Your Excellency is right, and the lower official immediately ordered him to go down and execute him tonight.”
Song Chong replied immediately.
“Report this matter to me before I leave Changling County tomorrow.” Wei Jingfu instructed with a cold face.
“Yes.”
When Wei Jingfu left the dark prison, Song Chong and the people behind him finally breathed a sigh of relief. God knows why this official Ting Shizhou suddenly came to Changling County, and why he suddenly asked about the mountain bandits in the suburbs. .
“Sir, if the execution is carried out tonight, then the three people’s guillotine…” The county magistrate asked, approaching him.
“It’s free of the dead head meal. Now that there is a shortage of food, you can save it if you can.”
Song Chong didn’t even look at the three begging for mercy, he turned and left.
…
When Yin Bowu and the others returned home, Yin Miao knew just by looking at their expressions that Wei Shi and Zhen Shi had already heard useful news, and it was not bad news.
“As soon as we arrived at the gate of the county government this morning, we met the last Shi Jukuai. He told us that the three people have not been released yet, so they have to stay in prison for five years and eight years. .”
Zhen’s words made everyone in the house feel at ease.
Five years and eight years, then they don’t have to worry about it for the time being.
“Oh, this is great, my eyelids kept twitching and twitching this afternoon, I thought something bad was going to happen.”
Liu Shi also patted his chest and said in fear.
“Mother, no, you must be thinking too much.”
Wei Shi smiled and took out a light yellow silk dress, which she bought for Yin Miao with the money she had saved from these two embroidery jobs. As a mother, she couldn’t bear to look down on her daughter Tian Tian. Wearing that tattered shirt.
Yin Miao listened to the conversation between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and felt that something was wrong, but she couldn’t tell. It happened that Mrs. Wei forced her to change her clothes. Although she was still reluctant, she couldn’t bear to see Mrs. Wei’s expectant eyes. , so I had no choice but to take my clothes and go to my room.
Before entering the door, Yin Miao specially handed the auspicious auspiciousness to Yin Han, even if it was a bird, she was not used to changing clothes in front of him.
The clothes of the ancients were still a little heavy. Yin Miao tried it and felt that such clothes were not as complicated as she imagined.
When Yin Miao fastened her belt and came out, the Wei family also showed satisfied smiles, as if the ladies in the former imperial mansion had returned.
The goose-yellow dress is long and stretches to the ground. Although there is no pattern, only a few blooming oleanders are embroidered with red silk thread on the cuffs, and the waist is tied with milky white silk, which is simple and delicate. The girl’s pink-faced peach blossoms, the corners of her jet-black eyes are slightly raised, adding a bit of beauty.
“Mother, if I wear this dress to climb the second mountain, this dress will be scrapped.”
Wei Shi, who was admiring her delicate daughter, was interrupted by Yin Miao’s words.
“Miao’er can’t go out alone in this dress.”
Yin Bowu’s tone was unbearable. In the past, even if his daughter went out in luxurious clothes, they were always protected by government soldiers, but now he is not as worried as before.
“Brother, I had a little sparring with Miao’er during the day. Miao’er’s kung fu is really unusual…”
Yin Chengyun was bored after the face-grinding in the afternoon, so he had a few tricks with Yin Miao. He remembered that Mrs. Zhang had said that Miao’er was very powerful, but he did not expect his niece to be so powerful, even the tricks.
“That doesn’t work either. She can beat two or three, but what about ten and eight?”
Yin Bo was eager to protect his daughter, and he was relieved until Yin Miao promised that he would not go out wearing this dress.
Before going to sleep, Yin Miao went to Xiao Xuan’s room to claim Xiangrui. She tried to show her head only by the door, but seeing Xiangrui ignored her, she had to go inside.
“Xiangrui bothered you, I’m here to find it.”
Yin Miao said to Yun He that she found that only Xiao Xuan and Yun He were in the house, and Xiao Xuan still looked sick, but there was a black and white Go beside him.
“Well, let’s go.”
Xiao Xuan said, a blue parrot flew from the head of the bed to Yin Miao’s shoulder.
“…”
Yin Miao suddenly did not know why she came to call this bird.
Obviously this man and this bird are a serious master-servant relationship, right? !
“If you don’t obey, let Yunhe cook you next time.”
After the girl in the goose-yellow shirt left, Yun He clearly heard the girl speaking viciously not far away.
“…Master, Wei Jingfu has done what you ordered.”
At this time, Yun Jiang also jumped down from the depths of the beam, and he was wearing a night clothes that he had not yet had time to change.
“Well, just kill it, did I let the person he’s looking for look good?”
Xiao Xuan asked lightly.
“Report to the master, I haven’t found it yet.” Yunjiang replied.
The troubles that the Yin family was worried about have been resolved by their people, and the three mountain bandits will no longer appear in this world, but he also knows that the master did not do it entirely for the Yin family.
“No hurry, let them find it slowly.”
Xiao Xuan put down a chess piece in his hand and didn’t ask any more questions.
Regarding the disappearance of Yunjiang in the house again, Yunhe did not show much, but began to pick up the endgame and pieces left by Xiao Xuan.
At this time, it had been more than 20 days since Yin Bowu came back. Yin Miao could not help but admire Xiao Xuan who was walking in the courtyard with Yunjiang and Yunhe’s arms in the morning. his acting.
This person is clearly able to walk and fly, but she always pretends to be seriously ill. Could it be that what she saw that night was just an illusion?
“Young Master Xiao looks much better.”
Yin Chengyun walked over with a smile and said.
“Staying in bed all the time, cough, cough… It’s really uncomfortable, but these few steps are still a bit laborious for me, cough, cough…”
Xiao Xuan replied weakly while coughing.
