Chapter 48: Cool officials are difficult

Hearing these threatening words, Jiang Xiaolou laughed. She made no secret of the regret in her eyes: "My lord, I have been subjected to various severe punishments. I have broken bones in my body and suffered severe injuries to my internal organs. , I’m afraid of cold in winter and heat in summer, and I’m panting even if I take two more steps. The doctor said that I haven’t been alive for a few years, which is equivalent to a half-life. Naturally, you can try the punishments you mentioned. I was dead before you could confess."
The presiding judge’s face has never been so bad. He has been in this prison for so long, and the methods are so vicious. It doesn’t take a prisoner to come in crying and crying for mercy. A woman like Jiang Xiaolou can do it in half an hour. Let her be honest-but he understands too well. If Zi Yihou wanted to kill someone, he would have killed him directly. The girl was sent here to make her surrender. It would be difficult to do if she really died here. More importantly, they still couldn't figure out what the relationship between her and Zi Yihou was.
The presiding judge looked up and down Jiang Xiaolou again, the beautiful woman was like a lotus, elegant and beautiful, adding a touch of light to the entire gloomy prison cell.
Elegant, quiet, and calm, such a woman looks so different.
What is this place, she is so fearless!
Or is she really so stupid that she doesn't realize where she is?
The presiding officer knotted his brows.
"If you want to fight, it's best to fight to death. Don't leave me a sigh of relief. By the way, tell Xiao Guanxue that people and animals are different. If you don't achieve it, you won't. I would rather die than give in to him!" Jiang Xiaolou deliberately Speaking unclearly, it is suspicious.
The presiding judge was thinking about it and getting more and more wrong. This young woman is so beautiful and arrogant. Could it be that she has a special relationship with Zi Yihou? Also, she couldn't keep up with her words, did Hou Ye want to force her to commit crimes? But what kind of status is Hou Ye, how can he treat her in a different light with as many women as he wants. Furthermore, the Hou Mansion has its own dungeon cell. Why did Lord Hou send people here? She said she had received any punishment. Could it be that Zi Yihou had no choice but to stuff this hot potato and ask him to clean it up? I remembered that the guard had taken care of him, and he was never allowed to kill anyone. His head was knotted and his body was hot, but he couldn't think of a reason.
So he could only glared at Jiang Xiaolou viciously, and ordered a few words from the office next to him, and then the man walked out quickly.
Not long after, Jiang Xiaolou heard the iron door click and made a soft crackle, and she realized that someone was coming outside. Sure enough, the Ya Chai came in and whispered a few words to the presiding judge. The presiding judge's complexion changed drastically, his brows trembled, and he coldly said to Jiang Xiaolou: "Your father and eldest brother committed the crime of treason. I advise you to Tell me honestly, so as not to suffer from flesh and blood!"
Dad and eldest brother committed a crime of conspiracy? Jiang Xiaolou now understands what it means to reverse black and white and confuse right and wrong. Both his father and brother are only interested in making money and doing business, and have never participated in politics. But now these people have just arbitrarily planted a crime. Conspiracy? How ridiculous!
"My lord, the Jiang family is no more than an ordinary merchant. Where is the courage to rebel? My father and eldest brother are honest businessmen, and they have never tried to rebel. If you have evidence, you can copy me together, but if it is If there is no evidence, please don't try to put any evidence in my mouth, because this charge is totally fictitious!"
"Of course there is evidence! Your eldest brother has confessed the rebellion before we will put him to death. As for you... Since you are the family member of the rebellion, of course you also know it. You can honestly elaborate on the process of your father and brother's rebellion. Come out, I will think that because you are a weak female stream, you will suffer less!" The presiding judge said harshly.
"I've already said that Jiang's family is ordinary business people up and down, and I won't explain things that don't exist at all." Jiang Xiaolou said coldly.
"You haven't figured out what this place is. My patience is very limited. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait long!" The presiding judge's expression became hideous, and he asked every word.
"My lord, even if someone in the Jiang family really conspired, there will still be evidence. If there is no evidence, even if you keep me for ten, twenty or even a hundred years, you will not be able to forge evidence!" Jiang Xiaolou's expression could not be suppressed. A hint of sarcasm.
"The number of people who die in this prison is less than 2,000 per year. Not to mention your body will survive for ten days. I am afraid that you will not survive for ten days. You can think carefully, if you are willing to explain clearly, I can let people You move to the current prison, even if you die, die happily!"
In this prison, all the prisoners defecate, eat, and sleep inside. The winter is bitterly cold, and the summer is hot and humid. Few people who don’t get sick, and the prisons are not unlocked at night. People often die in the middle of the night. The living people have to continue to sleep with the breath of breath and cannot avoid them. Therefore, many people are infected by the plague. . If the body is strong, energetic, or able to live longer, a physical condition like Jiang Xiaolou's, I am afraid that he will die faster. The living conditions of the inmates mentioned by the chief trial just now will be slightly better. According to the old code, this was used to detain criminal officials, minor offenders, and witnesses involved. If they can live there, the chance of death is slightly smaller. If ordinary people hear such preferential treatment, they are afraid of rushing to agree to it, but Jiang Xiaolou just looked indifferently and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but I will not fabricate the facts!"
The presiding judge's face was stiff, and he subconsciously glanced at the direction of the door.
Jiang Xiaolou noticed this keenly, but she did not look back. She could vaguely guess that this trial was monitored. It seemed that someone was deliberately trying to force her to admit the Jiang family's rebellion, but she was the only one left in the Jiang family. Why did the other party insist on convicting such a crime? Kill the chicken with a sledge knife? This is really weird!
The presiding judge frowned, and his expression was cold and cold: "Do you think it's useful if you don't say why? The past servants of the Jiang family have provided sufficient evidence, including the Jiang family's father and son colluding with the local tycoon and conspiracy letter. I'm just giving you a chance to confess now. If you say it late, I won't be happy to listen at that time!"
He said while observing Jiang Xiaolou's reaction, trying to put pressure on the other party psychologically, but Jiang Xiaolou was expressionless, his expression was very flat, and he didn't respond to his words.
"The Jiang family has accumulated a lot of wealth. It is definitely not only the dowry given by Jiang Chengtian. You also know that besides those shops, the suburbs of Beijing and the surrounding counties, there are a lot of fertile fields, there are also many farms. I heard that you like piano Chess, calligraphy and painting, he even invited you the famous Pipa masters who live in the mountains, and the silver flowers go out like flowers, when no one else can see it?"
"So what? The Jiang family is also wealth accumulated by generations. Even if they have a lot of money, what does it have to do with treason?" Jiang Xiaolou retorted.
"Hmph, do you think it's just wealth? Your father and brother are using this money to recruit troops and buy people's hearts, with bad intentions!" The presiding judge said arrogantly.
Jiang Xiaolou stared at the other person: "Recruit troops and buy horses? Buy people's hearts? Where does this start?"
"The two of them are not in the capital most of the year, and they are contacting local tycoons in the name of doing business. Isn't this evidence?"
It's nonsense at all! Business people will of course run everywhere. As for the so-called local tycoons, as a big businessman, the most important thing is to manage the relationship between the parties. The tycoons and prominent families in different places are the most important customers. Everyone is like this. Can't the goods be sold to the wealthy? Wait, the other party knew this clearly, and why did she do everything possible to force her to admit that her father and brother were anti-thief? Could it be that Jing Zhaoyin accepted the Qin family's advantage and forced her to admit the Jiang family's rebellion? No, no, she is already a person of no use value, and the Qin family will not waste this thought. What is that for?
Jiang Xiaolou's mind turned quickly, but his face was calm and quiet: "My lord, what if you admit rebellion, no one but me in Jiang's family can copy the whole house!"
The presiding judge was overjoyed, but just as he was about to speak, he abruptly paused: "Then wait until you confess your guilt!"
"Sir, wait slowly, I'm afraid it will be hard for you to wait until this day in this life!" Jiang Xiaolou also observed the other person's expression. After she said this, the presiding judge became more and more angry, almost unable to restrain it.
"Detain her first, and try another day!" Finally, he pointed at her angrily and said sharply.
The trial judge Yan Fengya entered the door uneasy and immediately saluted the people in the room: "Master Liang."
Liang Qing was sitting leaning on the chair without raising his eyelids.
He is close to age, but he still has starry eyes and a dangling nose. His appearance looks like a handsome scholar. In addition to his long stature and elegant manners, it is hard to believe that he has dyed his hands if others see it. Blood.
Yan Fengya saw that Liang Qing seemed to have something on her mind today, and she thought to herself to speak a little more carefully, then she reduced her expression and stood upright.
Liang Qing picked up the teacup and blew it, a scent of tea rose slowly, hazy his elegant face.
"Master Liang, the interrogation is over."
Liang Qing seemed to notice him, and smiled faintly: "Come on, sit down."
Where did Yan Fengya dare to really sit down, and immediately said with a guilty expression: "Master Liang, the subordinates are not talented, and they couldn't ask anything. I am willing to receive punishment, deduct the salary, or get the board! If the adult thinks such punishment If it is too light, you can dismiss me, and I will never complain!"
Liang Qing sighed and said: "The person was sent by Ziyihou. I told you that you must keep your breath. How come I don't know your difficulties."
Yan Fengya breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from the tip of her nose: "Thank you Liang Da's subordinates, but-this person has been closed, and I can't ask questions, what should I do?"
In fact, he really didn't understand why Lord Liang had to force Jiang Xiaolou to confess the crime of treason. Now she is the only one left in the Jiang family, who can't make any storms. What is the meaning of this crime?
"The person is left to you, but it's your business to ask what you want." Liang Qing said casually.
Yan Fengya suddenly became anxious, her face turned pale first, followed by green and yellow, why he couldn't understand what the adult was thinking, and let him, what can he do? After a while, he froze and said: "My lord, if this person can beat or scold, the subordinates will take care of them and take them out, but she can't help but feel weak. I am afraid that she will fall even if she blows her breath. You know those people under her. , The method is too hot, I really don’t dare to move at all. If I accidentally forced to die, we can’t explain to Master Hou"
"Being able to beat and scold, that's just dealing with ordinary prisoners. Jiang's family is hard bones. Even if you toss to death, it is also ineffective. Is there no other way? I stayed here for ten years and think about it. Don't rush to answer me!" Liang Qing took a sip of tea with a leisurely expression.
"This—" Can't beat or scold, then what else can be done? Can't tell him to beg for confession.
It is not easy to mess up under Liang Qing. If one thing is not done properly, one sentence is wrong, it may end up in a different place. Yan Fengya naturally had thousands of methods to force a person to confess his guilt, but at the moment it was clear that none of them were useful. I couldn't ask, Liang Qing couldn't spare him, he was forced to death, and Lord Hou couldn't pass that pass. Although Liang Qing is powerful, but Zi Yihou is also a master who can't afford to offend. This matter is very involved, and Yan Fengya is caught in a dilemma: "Subordinates are dull, please let me know."
Liang Qing put down the tea cup impatiently, tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, and slowly said, "It seems that I am too high to see you. I have been with me for so long and I haven't made any progress!"
Yan Fengya was stunned, and repeatedly accused him of crimes. After thinking about it, she made up her mind and replied: "Now the subordinates regard Jiang Xiaolou as a prisoner in jail. They are guarded by capable people day and night, but long detention is not a way to do it. In the humble opinion of his subordinates, there are three ways to deal with it."
"Which three methods?"
"The first way is to forcibly detain her." Yan Fengya tentatively.
"Fool, what about forcing a confession? I can't ask if I want to ask!" Liang Qing snorted coldly.
Yan Fengya was stunned: "The second method is to torture a confession. It's a big deal to kill a person, only to say that he died of illness. This prison is the world of adults, and the subordinates will definitely not dare to disclose it. It's big, but it can't be difficult for others."
"Are you a fool as Zi Yihou?" Liang Qing's smile became colder.
Yan Fengya gritted her teeth: "The last method is to put Jiang Xiaolou in the prison without putting too much water, just for the purpose of making people feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable. This method will neither die nor leave wounds. It is straightforward to teach people to survive. She can’t die, after all, she is a female classmate, even if she has an iron mouth, she still has to speak. My lord, this is the most compromised way. We can’t make people think that our Jingzhao Prison is a paper tiger—"
Liang Qing stood up and walked back and forth in the room two steps. The flickering candlelight cast his figure on the wall, looking terrifying and mysterious, like a ghost slowly moving, then he suddenly turned around and looked at Yan Fengya , Looked firm: "Okay, just as you say!"
The dungeon of Jingzhao Prison is built under the ground closest to the prison center. It is surrounded by thick stone walls. It is divided into upper and lower levels. Above it is a small reservoir. As long as the switch is turned on, the lower level of water will continue to rise. Until the cell is completely submerged, the whole design is very unique. Jiang Xiaolou vaguely saw the outline of the entire water jail through the faint candlelight. The underground water was glowing with yellow light, as if a huge monster was hidden under the water, but it was just the reflection of the candlelight reflected in the water, and there were waves of light from the water. The smell of disgusting people.
Xu Zu shouted in a charitable tone: "My lord said, as long as you confess your guilt, you will be released!"
Jiang Xiaolou just answered her calmly: "I am not guilty, how can I admit it?"
Her words seemed to irritate Xu Zuo completely, and the woman pushed her down. When he really got to the bottom, Jiang Xiaolou found that this space could accommodate at most one person squatting, unable to stand or sit, and could only squat inside. The water was not deep, just not reaching the calf. Jiang Xiaolou took a deep breath. The stench in the entire jail was unbearable. She curled her body into a ball as much as possible, resting her head on her knees and closing her eyes. After only a while, she already felt her legs and feet were soft and her body was sore, but the whole environment was extremely small, let alone stand up straight and stretch her body, it was impossible even to change her posture. She can only try to keep kneading her knees and fingers when possible to prevent joint stiffness.
According to the truth, as long as the people above open the mechanism, this small water prison will be submerged, and she will definitely die by then. But she can be sure that if the other party wants her life, there is no need to spend so much time in imprisoning people in, their purpose is only to force her to confess guilt. Of course, confession is not just the ultimate goal, there must be more serious consequences waiting.
A little bit of time passed. In this dark and narrow space, the walls seemed to collapse from all sides, causing a terrible psychological fear to people, so that she could not guess how long it had passed. As time went on, the water passed the cold feeling to the limbs, and the joints on the hands and legs began to stiffen, especially the toes and calves because they were all soaked below the surface of the water and lost their feeling. The strength is a little exhausted. It is impossible to straighten your legs and feet. It is really difficult to ignore the current terrible situation, because the surroundings are too quiet, so quiet that you can hear terrible animals stealing in the water. move.
Maybe it's a water rat, or maybe it's a floating bug.
Every time, Xu Zuo would repeat the question on the top of his head, and he was patient when he first asked, but after getting the same answer three times in a row, they were completely disappointed, and the time interval between the questions became longer and longer. She was in a small coffin, unable to move or breathe. The lower part of her legs was cold, but her body was faintly hot. The only thing that could move was the mind. Jiang Xiaolou knew very well that the other party used such a special environment to throw her into a terrible predicament where she was helpless. This is the way to make people surrender without punishment.
At this moment, the fourth speaking voice was heard above the head: "Are you still reluctant to confess?"
Jiang Xiaolou did not speak.
Xu Zuo has never seen such a stubborn girl. In her opinion, confession is the best way to solve the problem, so she tries to slow down her tone as much as possible, using a self-righteous tone: "This is the last chance. Now, if you are still so stubborn, you will have to stay here all night. Of course you won’t die, but it’s impossible to guarantee that you will really become a waste person.

Jiang Xiaolou still did not answer.
"I heard that you are good at dancing. If you stay here all night, your feet will be soaked."
"Prisoners who have not yet entered the dungeon and refused to plead guilty. I don't know how many snakes, insects, rats, and ants are here. You are really not afraid of being eaten by them. Just continue to stay like this!"
Still unable to hear the answer, Xu Zuo was obviously very angry. The footsteps above his head gradually faded away, Jiang Xiaolou kept his eyes closed and said nothing.
Admit the Jiang family's conspiracy? No, this is impossible. Although her family is no longer there, her father still has a lot of ancestors in Liaozhou, and his rebellion is to copy the nine tribes. Once she pleads guilty, those people will only die.
After a long time without dripping, Jiang Xiaolou was still curled up. Jiang Xiaolou was weak, just leaning on the stone wall, almost collapsed and fainted, but kept his mind sober from beginning to end. Staying overnight in such an environment, she may indeed become a useless person, but this is only a punishment. From this approach, Jiang Xiaolou can keenly analyze a truth: Liang Qing is not unscrupulous, he is afraid and fearful. Xiao Guanxue. Xiao Guanxue waited for her to convince her every day, but Liang Qing did not dare to let her die. There are many punishments in the world, but her body is too weak and she can't stand it either. The other party can only use this method of survival and death to deal with her. If she keeps silent, they have no choice but to let her go in the end. However, this kind of waiting is very long, absolutely tolerable.
If the father is there, he will tell her what to do. In Jiang Xiaolou's heart, his father is the most trustworthy and dependent person in the world.
He often said that whether it is a person or a business, one must do three words: laugh, diligence, and forbearance.
No matter who you treat, you have to smile. The eldest brother is young and frivolous, has a violent temperament, and often loses his temper because of small things. The father was completely different, Xiaolou had never seen a trace of anger on his face. Whenever he met a quarrel between his elder brother and others, his father always blamed himself for all the mistakes. Many people come to him for help. He always turns big things into small things, and helps others as much as possible. The Jiang family is more prosperous and wealthy in his father's hands, but he doesn't care at all, and treats everyone equally. The eldest brother often said that his father is a bodhisattva, and it is easy to lose business in doing this, but he always laughed.
From the moment she had an impression, her father always sat in the study alone, doing chores. Once it was still dark in the morning, she ran to her father but found him in the study, thinking that he was up early. Later, she learned that he hadn't slept all night in order to copy the list of merchants. It is precisely because of this that Jiangjia shops always open the earliest and close the latest, and are highly praised.
As for patience...
Jiang Xiaolou desperately remembered, but he could only remember that his father had said to her that patience is the most important thing to do with others. You can do nothing, but you must learn to endure. Patience, patience, be patient, and tolerance to heart blood, and tolerance to seawater filled.
No, father, the purpose of patience is not to linger, patience is to see hope, see the hope of revenge.
There is a knife on the head of Ren, as long as the knife is sharpened and hardened, it is the real time to start.
She told herself over and over again, patience, sharpening the knife, clenching her teeth, her palms bleeding.
Time became longer and slower, and almost stopped the flow.
Except for the sound of her heartbeat, she could not hear anything, could not see anything, she just repeated the word patience over and over again. She was waiting until the other party gave in first, and waited until the other party conceded first. Since God wants her to suffer here, she will definitely kill Liang Qing!
Prior to this, she would not die, could not die, let alone die.
Finally, there was the sound of footsteps above his head again, and Xu Zuo's frustrated voice sounded: "Pull her up!"
After the sound sounded, the door above her head opened instantly, and a person pulled her up by the chain. In the process, the entire joint seemed to be broken every inch, and there is no way to describe this inhuman. pain. However, the moment she breathed the fresh air outside, she opened her eyes suddenly.
"I think you are impatient with your life. You have never seen a woman like you before. She is a lunatic!" Xu Zu said angrily.
"It's an egg hitting a stone, it's definitely not as fruity as you!" said another person.
Jiang Xiaolou didn't react, as if he couldn't hear what they were saying. The two people became more angry, but there was no way. One of them pushed Jiang Xiaolou heavily: "I'm not leaving yet, waiting for someone to carry you. Go back?"
Pushing it down, Jiang Xiaolou staggered and almost fainted top-heavy, but she still strode as hard as she could. Because the legs and feet have been soaked in the water for too long, every step felt like someone was piercing the soles of her feet with a sharp knife. Itching, pain, and bursts of heart-piercing pain almost made people unstable to stand, so that a Xu Pawn had to reach out and push her forward.
All the way back to their original cell, almost everyone stared at her with a surprised look.
When she entered the cell, she was still in a frozen state. Although it was only the early autumn weather, the temperature in the cell was much lower, and she had been soaked in cold water for almost all night, and her body was completely frozen. Every time her foot touches the ground, it instantly becomes soft, because the pain is like a fire, but she knows that she must move around in the cell, otherwise both legs will be disabled. So she kept walking around in the cell to speed up the blood circulation in the body. With shackles on her feet, she tried to walk as slowly as possible, but she still felt a burning sensation every step she took. The other party's purpose is to force her to ask questions, so they will not directly kill her, but their methods are extremely cruel, and perhaps her physical condition cannot be sustained.
In the morning, Xu Zuo gave some fresh water, but when Jiang Xiaolou took it, his hands trembled so badly that almost half of the water was splashed on him, causing the other party to scold loudly. This was not her intention, but all the joints in her body were already sick, and the damage caused by soaking in cold water overnight was unimaginable. Although she has been working hard to move her body joints, this kind of action is obviously not of much use. Her skin couldn't feel the temperature, but she couldn't help bending her knees, her fingernails were faintly blue, and the joints of her legs and elbows were very swollen. The most frightening thing is that some scars on her body have opened. She knows what will happen next, inflammation, infection, and pus. The waterboarding had only been carried out overnight, and she was already skinned and bruised. If they were to increase the punishment, she would not be able to get out of this place alive.
Even so, it is absolutely impossible for her to admit unnecessarily charged charges, but the question that has always troubled her is, why did the other party impose the charge of treason on the Jiang family? What good does this have for Liang Qing? Does it come from Zi Yihou's instruction? A series of questions made it difficult for her to settle down.
In the room, a pot of tea and two dim sums were placed on the table. Liang Qing said with a smile: "Jiang Chengtian was a huge wealth in the past, and his farmland is all over the world. He is a real rich family. Later he moved from Liaozhou. In the capital city, the family property also moved here, and the business was very large. Just marrying a daughter gave a dowry of 100,000 taels."
Yan Fengya was taken aback: "But the Jiang family has already fallen--"
"Don't be so mind-blowing. Jiang Chengtian passed most of his assets to his son. Except for the farms and shops that we took away, isn't there a small vault? We haven't found this yet—"
Yan Fengya understood: "Understood, the subordinates will let her speak out."
Liang Qing frowned: "Oh?"
Yan Fengya said: "The subordinates will tell her to understand the fate of those who refuse to explain the title deeds. Naturally, she should know what to do."
Liang Qing sneered: "Don't underestimate this woman, her young head is not bad, and you also know that we can't let her die. It's not easy to do anything with this handle on her hand."
Yan Fengya hurriedly said, "My lord, don't worry, my subordinates promise that everything will be silent and will never disturb others."
Liang Qing finally laughed.
In the prison, the door rang suddenly, and a young female prisoner was pushed in.
"Look, now you have a companion!" Xu Zu said coldly.
The young female prisoner was pushed and staggered to the ground.
Jiang Xiaolou raised his head and glanced at the man, and Xu Zuo closed the door.
Most of the cells are holding three to four people or more. This cell is no exception. This time the woman who was put in was only in her early twenties, with thick eyebrows and three-pointed looks, but her cheekbones. Prominent, sparse hair, ragged clothes.
According to the truth, people in solitary confinement have a common problem, fear of loneliness. Especially the kind of people who have been detained in a room for a long time, eager to talk to and talk to people, but Jiang Xiaolou just glanced at her, immediately lowered his eyes, and continued to move his joints of hands and feet. Care about her existence.
Qiu He got up from the ground, put the bedding that Xu Zuo had thrown in, and quietly looked at Jiang Xiaolou with his eyes.
After a while, she took the initiative to sit over by herself: "They said that you just came out of the dungeon, is it true? I heard that the place is terrible..."
Jiang Xiaolou moved his joints seriously and did not answer.
There was a feeling of temptation in those eyes, and then she looked out and quietly stuffed Jiang Xiaolou's broken black potato: "Eat, this is what I saved last night. You are hungry. At night, I must be hungry."
Anyone would be very grateful for such obvious kindness, but Jiang Xiaolou seemed to have not heard it at all.
Qiu He was a little dissatisfied: "You really don't want it? You really don't want me to eat it myself—"
Jiang Xiaolou didn't look up.
Qiu He was full of suspicions, but he still ate the sweet potato hungrily. After eating, he didn't forget to lick his fingers, even though they were dark.
Seeing the indifference of Jiang Xiaolou, Qiu He stopped trying to talk to her, but turned around and started to do his own thing.
Two hours later, Jiang Xiaolou still didn't say a word to her. Qiu He couldn't help it anymore: "You're not dumb, why don't you always speak?"
Jiang Xiaolou took a look at her, and then slowly said, "What can I say?"
Qiu He uttered a loud voice, but he answered the wrong question: "Not only do you have a very good-looking person, but you also have a very good voice. Why are you locked up here?"
On Jiang Xiaolou's pale face, mud was splashed on her forehead and cheeks, but it is undeniable that her features are extremely delicate and her eyes are gleaming. Indeed, the beautiful Jiang Xiaolou is incompatible with the environment here. She is not like a vicious criminal, but a lady of noble birth. Qiu He seems confused, but Jiang Xiaolou is not interested in answering her questions.
"My family opened the Silk Village. They offended Liang Qing because of a small incident. They beat my father badly. He died within two days. I was not reconciled. I filed complaints everywhere and went to Jingzhaoyin Gate. I had to hang myself before, so they put me in." Qiu He said to himself.
"I hate this Liang Qing, this kind of dog official is not good to die!" She said, cursing with gritted teeth.
When Jiang Xiaolou heard this, she became a little interested in this person. She raised her eyes and looked at him with dark eyes.
"Did you also be imprisoned by him? What crime did you commit?" Qiu He noticed Jiang Xiaolou's attention and was a little excited.
Jiang Xiaolou smiled faintly: "I am not guilty."
Qiu He was taken aback, and then seemed to resonate: "Yes, they always wrong people for no reason, this kind of dog stuff should be cut!"
Jiang Xiaolou didn't seem to hear these words, but asked inadvertently: "Has Huajin arrived? This year, the price must be very high."
Huajin is smooth and soft, light and thin like a morning glow. It will be popular in Beijing every year. Because of the small output, the scarcity is more expensive, and it is hard to find.
Qiu He said with a pause, and quickly said: "Yes, it's very expensive! If you are not a family member of a powerful family, I will not take it out."
The tone of the speech was very sophisticated, as if it were really from the silk village.
Jiang Xiaolou sneered. The cotton production in Huazhou this year is very good and the supply is sufficient. Huajin rarely sends a lot of it. The price has dropped a lot from previous years. Even the girls in the Guose Tianxiang Building are all clear. Since it is a silk shop, how can you not even know this market? Looking at the other side, his skin is thin, his face is pale, and his face is skinny. At first glance, he has lived in a dark and humid environment for a long time. He doesn't seem to be someone who has just been imprisoned. How can he know the silk market this year? But she still said that she was not blushing or breathing, and she was clearly lying.
Then, she must have been arranged by someone to come in, carrying some ulterior purpose.
Qiu He didn't realize that Jiang Xiaolou had already suspected that he had fallen in love with him, and he was still thinking of trying to verbalize from her mouth: "Look at your delicate skin and tender meat, the family must be rich. If you are imprisoned, the family will take the money. Come to redeem you?"
Jiang Xiaolou said indifferently: "My family is dead, no one will redeem me."
"This is impossible!" Qiu He said flatly, "Even if there is no one, as long as you pay, it should be possible."
After she said this, she found Jiang Xiaolou staring at herself with a strange look, and immediately woke up: "I mean, the dog official knows money. As long as you have enough money, you can take care of any crime you commit. Get out."
When she talked about money, she had a faintly expectant tone, with temptation and speculation.
An idea flashed in Jiang Xiaolou's mind, and his eyes flickered: "This is not bad. The Jiang family was originally very rich. It is a pity that my father and elder brother passed away one after another, and the servants took away their wealth. I'm afraid there is nothing left now."
Qiu He hurriedly said: "How come, the dead camel is bigger than the horse, and the Jiang family had ten thousand wealth in the past, how could it be gone--"
Jiang Xiaolou didn't speak, his eyes were like ice.
Qiu He's heart shuddered, and he smiled and said: "I also listen to other people's nonsense, don't be surprised!"
Liang Qing has always kept secret about Jiang Xiaolou's identity, and the woman in front of him seems clear. Jiang Xiaolou already understood everything, but she didn't expose the other party's inconsistent rhetoric, but her tone was indifferent: "Even if there is, how can Wanguan family wealth save my life if I am in prison?"
"Money can eliminate calamities, and money can move gods!" Qiu He just thought he had accidentally revealed a secret, and immediately smiled when he heard this, "If you have money, find a better way to make sure you can get out safely!"
"The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, those who bribe officials must be exiled." Jiang Xiaolou reminded her.
A sly look appeared on Qiu He's face: "Who knows if God knows no ghost?"
Jiang Xiaolou sighed: "This is hard to say, there are many people in the world that are much more terrifying than ghosts."
Qiu He couldn't hear the ridicule in Xiaolou's words, and continued to persuade him: "Money is something outside of the body. If you take it out, you can avoid disaster. It's better than you die with the silver! My family is already I sent someone to redeem, and I will go out soon, but don’t blame me for not reminding you, there will be no such shop after passing this village!"
Jiang Xiaolou looked like a smile, Liang Qing did everything possible to force her to confess to the crime of conspiracy, and then deceive her to use money to redeem her. The real conspiracy is unforgivable, and the other party will never fulfill her promise. On the contrary, they would take her confession and put her to death. She would lose all her silver and she would not be free. Over the years, there have been many people who took money to redeem their crimes and ate them dumbly. They were unable to tell because they committed the crime of bribery. If they said it would only add to the crime. But they still have to seize the opportunity, no one wants to die, let alone imprisoned for life.
Now, the other party uses the same method to deal with himself, Liang Qing clearly suspects that the Jiang family possesses a large amount of property. In fact, her father insisted on cultivating her as a family lady, and invited the most strict mother to teach her the rules. He also carefully trained her favorite piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy, hired famous teachers, and saved her clothing and makeup early. But in business, her father never let her interfere. Because he believes that girls are for pampering, doing business and inheriting family business is a very hard work, girls can not take on such an important task.
Her father hoped that she could always maintain a wealthy and wealthy life, and live her life spoiled and spoiled, so the dowry list for her included 500 acres of land, 30 shops, and one hundred thousand taels of silver. The reason why he bought such a dowry is to make Xiaolou less wronged when marrying to the Qin family in the future. According to the Da Zhou law, the dowry is the only reliable pure private property of a woman. The in-laws, husbands, and the husband’s clans cannot use it for any reason. In other words, all of this money was reserved for Xiaolou, and more than that, his father also left a lot of money for Xiaolou in all the shops of the Jiang family, and he had regular dividends every year, and his income was extremely rich. It's a pity that she was too stupid. To help the Qin family survive the crisis, she secretly told her elder brother to take out one hundred thousand taels of silver, and then repeatedly sold land and shops for discount. Unknowingly deceived all her property. It is impossible for Liang Qing not to know these circumstances. What he was so aggressive was not the part of the dowry that the Qin family had embezzled, but the Jiang family property inherited by Jiang Wanfeng.
However, after the death of the eldest brother, the Jiang family was completely cut off. The original house, antiques, shops and fields in Dazhou were all taken away by the government. According to Da Zhou's law, the government was supposed to leave half of the assets to the unmarried daughter. Jiang Xiaolou used to live with his fiancé and did not really marry, but at that time she was trapped in the Hou Mansion, so she could not appeal for herself. Liang Qing did not leave any money to Jiang Xiaolou on the grounds that the whereabouts of Jiang's daughter was unknown. In this way, he should know that she can't make money in her hands, so why should he play this scene?
Unless--he suspected that his eldest brother had hidden a huge amount of property secretly before he died...
First push her into a desperate situation, and then let people come and seduce her, she is really a veteran and cool official, wonderful!
