The yamen servant was overwhelmed by what he said, and he looked at Shu Huan and Xin Xin with a sharp look.
Shu Yue clapped her hands and said: "I heard from my brother-in-law that there is still a small part of the dungeons in the yamen that have not collapsed, why don't you take them there to take care of them, and be careful not to let my brother-in-law see them. "
The yamen servant was stunned for a moment, puzzled and said: "Wouldn't it be better to take them to see Mr. Gu and ask about the whereabouts of Sister Ling?"
Shu Yue turned her face away, sniffed her nose, and pretended to mourn: "Brother-in-law has been refusing to eat and drink these days in order to find my sister, so he managed to gather his energy to plan for the prefect. The two maids asked the truth about my sister's bad news, he... he doesn't know how sad he will be... even I dare not ask... if I don't ask, I can pretend that my sister is still alive, if I ask... "`
She choked with sobs and did not continue, and the yamen servant sighed as she listened.
Shu Yue pretended to be sad for a while, and then said: "No matter how big the family affairs are, they can't overwhelm the state affairs. You keep this secret for me, and let my brother-in-law do something for the people in the city with peace of mind. , if I still can’t find my sister, I will send them to interrogation.”`
The yamen servant was moved to tears by her "noble" thought, and he comforted her a few words in a gentle voice, but he still hesitated when he thought of the dangerous dungeon where he was going to detain her: "This matter... just like Mr. Shu As you said, there is no criminal evidence, just speculation, it seems inappropriate to lock them up like this?"
"Hey! Why are you so wordy!" Shu Yue looked back, and complained impatiently. Seeing that the yamen servant looked a little displeased, she hurriedly remedied: "You forced me! If it is confirmed in a while My sister's dead letter, I cried, you are not allowed to laugh at me!"
As she spoke, she reached into Shu Huan's arms and sleeve pockets, hoping to find something casually to set her up, but she didn't expect to find a pair of silver hairpins and silver bracelets.
Shu Yue held the silver hairpin and silver bracelet in her hands, brewing a moment of emotion, then blinked, squeezed out two tears, suppressed her voice and shouted: "Look, look! This is my sister's Things, the dowry that my mother secretly gave her when she got married, how could it be on this maid! Sister... Are you really killed by these two vicious maids? This is really a great injustice... "
Her acting was clumsy enough and very vicious, Shu Huan was really angry and laughed back, her heart felt sour and disgusted one after another, but she couldn't speak because she couldn't speak, otherwise she could expose her lies in a few words.
Xin Xin was so angry that she rolled her eyes, she couldn't move, if she could move, she would have spat a mouthful of phlegm on the face of Shu Yue who was lying so far.
"I can't help but cry! I don't want to see them again! What are you waiting for? They robbed food first, and then I found evidence of murder. Those who killed the master died. No matter how imprisoned them You should! Take them away quickly! Hurry up!" Shu Yue yelled hysterically, of course, her voice was very low, and she turned her head to watch the movement of the grain truck from time to time, lest the trouble would go too far, and taught Gu Xiran Find.
"This..." The yamen servant had no idea at all. He originally wanted to say that the silver hairpin was not engraved with words, so it could not prove anything, but when she shouted, he became dizzy, and for some reason pulled Shu Huan and Xin Xin arm.
Shu Yue urged again: "The overall situation is the most important! Do you want to make my brother-in-law sad to death? Don't be afraid, Mr. Zhifu will punish you for this?"
After saying this, the yamen servant didn't dare to delay any longer, and dragged Shu Huan and Xinxin into the city. The two of them refused to cooperate and tried to struggle, but they were bound tightly by ropes, and their mouths were still gagged. Why? The yamen servant who struggled openly was no stronger than the yamen servant who usually took people, but he pushed him on the knee and twisted his arm backwards. After a while of pain, his strength softened.
it's really—
your sister!
Shu Huan cursed secretly in his heart, suppressed the emotions that were about to erupt, and decided not to focus on the original owner's younger sister who was more sinister and vicious than his mother, but to think about how to escape to find Gu Xiran, or To find a way to rip that damn cloth out of his mouth and speak out.
Desperately looking back, trying to let Gu Xiran see them, but this kind of behavior is obviously meaningless. Since Shu Yue has already used dirty tricks to get them away in order to prevent Gu Xiran from finding them, she will naturally be wary of the last one. At the critical moment, the success fell short, so she only saw Shu Yue rushing to Gu Xiran's side, and said something to him, causing him to look in the opposite direction, and then left, getting farther and farther away from them.
Xin Xin spat repeatedly in her heart, hating Shu Yue so much that her teeth itch, but no matter how much she hated, there was nothing she could do, and she was still taken into the dungeon by the yamen servant.
The entrance of the dungeon seemed to have been cleared, and a road was opened, but there were still collapsed rubble all around, and the floor tiles paved on the road were also broken and warped, and it was extremely unstable to step up and down.
The further you go in, the narrower the road is, most of the candlesticks inlaid on the corridor wall are destroyed, so naturally there is no light at the moment, only relying on the yamen servant to light the fire for illumination.
No matter how you look at this kind of place, it's eerie and terrifying, especially when such aftershocks still occur from time to time, people have a kind of fear that they may be buried alive at any time, and it's not just Shu Huan and Xin Xin who feel uncomfortable , the yamen servant himself seemed very uncomfortable, the weather was not hot, but he kept wiping his sweat during the journey.
Finally, when he reached the prison cell, there was only an oil lamp with a flame like a bean burning on the narrow corridor. Shu Huan looked in, but because the light was not bright, he really couldn't see what was going on inside, maybe it had collapsed and blocked As far as the eye can see, there are only three or four prison cells, one cell is only about ten square meters in size, and there are seven or eight people with dirty clothes and unkempt faces squatting inside. I don't know if they are former prisoners or those who caused the trouble The victims, of course, were all men.
Seeing them coming in, the prisoners all stood up and made various shouting noises, some clamoring to get out, some swearing obscenely, making a commotion.
Shu Huan frowned, turned her eyes and glared at the yamen guard who brought them in, even though she couldn't speak, she tried her best to express her questioning with her eyes - how could she and Xin be locked up in this kind of place? !
The yamen servant was not bad, understood what she meant, turned his face away in embarrassment, and murmured: "Who told you to do such a heinous thing? There are no women's prisons, let's make do with it. Anyway, these people are in shackles, and they won't do anything to you."
Shu Huan turned to look at the prisoners again.
Yes! They are all shackled, but the ancient shackles are still dragging long chains. Even if they have difficulty moving, they are not the kind that cannot move their hands and feet at all. If they are locked in like this, is it like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth
The feeling in Shu Huan's heart can no longer be described with anger. She turned her head again and just stared at the yamen servant. This time, there was no anger in her eyes, but calm, sharp like a blade, which made people feel deep inside. There was an inexplicable trembling.
