Chapter 32 Stealing Money
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, there was a commotion in the Jiang family cell.
"You stole it! Shameless! After all, you were once the wife of an official.
Now they even commit theft, how shameless!
Give it back to me now!"
Jiang Yue sat up when she heard the noise and leaned against the cell door with Xiao Zhu.
The Jiang family is causing trouble again today. I'm not used to it after being so quiet for two days.
Then I saw Li, the second wife of the Jiang family, grab Wang's arm, push her to the ground, and slap her hard in the face.
Whoops!
So cruel!
The wives of officials in ancient times were no less attractive than the young hot peppers of today.
Wang was beaten and cursed dirty words.
Ever since Jiang Jinyun's face was completely injured, she has been like a poisonous snake these past two days, and you never know when she will bite you.
Knowing that there is no hope for the prince to pick her up, she now completely lets herself go.
He rushed forward, grabbed Li's hair and pulled it back, veins bulging on his face.
When Li's daughter, the hot-tempered Jiang Jinxiu, saw that the mother and daughter of the eldest wife were bullying her mother, she rolled up her sleeves and rushed forward without paying any attention to Jiang Jinyun.
Jiang Jinyun specifically scratched Jiang Jinxiu's face, as if he wanted to disfigure her.
The other concubines of the second house rushed forward in a swarm, and Wang's mother and daughter were attacked from both sides.
The second branch now relies on the money from the Li family to survive, so they must help their own mother.
Wang and Jiang Jinyun were beaten so hard that they cried out loudly. Their faces were covered with scratches and pieces of their hair were pulled out.
Wang's mother, Mrs. Wang, was walking around and watching her daughter being beaten. She was so anxious that she wanted to go forward to help.
But as soon as he got close, he was pushed away by the women from the second house.
The son watched his daughter being beaten indifferently and hid in the corner.
The daughter-in-law looked like she was enjoying the show, and the grandchildren followed Mrs. Lu and did not dare to come forward.
Looking at the two grandsons over there, they were concerned that the people fighting were all women and it would be ungentlemanly for them to take action, so they did not step forward to help.
He sighed, blaming himself for spoiling Wang too much since she was a child.
This led to discord between her and her husband's and her own family, and this was her retribution.
Li held up the banknotes she had taken from Wang's chest and said, "This is the banknote you stole from me. The evidence is irrefutable. What else can you deny?"
Wang lay on the ground, feeling powerless.
He still refused to admit his mistake, "Nonsense! This is clearly my banknote! You said it was yours, but where's the evidence? I said it was mine!"
Li spat at her, "Pooh! You said it was yours. Everyone knows that your eldest wife didn't have any silver on her when her property was searched.
How much can the sister-in-law give? She herself is a concubine and not favored.
My own position is almost lost, how much silver can I give you? And along the way, every time we passed by a post station or inn, did your eldest wife pay for a room? She always slept in a large bunk bed. Would you suffer such a punishment if you had silver bills?"
Under the constant accusations, Wang was unable to defend herself and sat down on the ground crying.
Jiang Jinzhou spoke up, "Enough, mother! This is in the county government office. If the jailers come, they'll give you another beating. Please be quiet."
Wang saw that her sons did not speak up for her, so she got up from the ground and pointed at them.
"That's easy to say! There are only four of us left in our family now, and look at you, chained up and unable to hunt.
Jinheng is not in good health and can't even catch a pheasant!
Jinyun was injured so badly that her face was ruined!
How can we survive to Lingnan without banknotes?!"
Jiang Jinzhou lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and said nothing.
Jiang Jinheng listened to Wang's accusations and wanted to refute them.
But he was a scholar, and what he learned was how to be filial to his parents, and his mother was not wrong.
These past two days, other people on the road have been able to catch pheasants and rabbits, but he just can't catch any.
Jiang Jinyun covered her face and didn't dare to look up at the expectant eyes of the people around her. She blamed Wang in her heart for spreading the news of her disfigurement.
Jiang Yue took peanuts and Xiao Zhu and moved the stool to the door of the cell. The two sat down and ate peanuts.
While commenting and making click-of-the-tsk sounds.
Jiang Xue, her daughter, and the three Lius also woke up. They were assigned to the same cell today.
Without interfering with each other, we can coexist peacefully.
At this moment, I was watching the farce in the Jiang family prison cell opposite. It turned out that it was right to stay away from the Jiang family's main house.
After the second wife got the banknotes back, she returned to her own territory and continued to sleep.
Wang sat on the ground wiping her tears. She thought her children had no conscience. Why did she steal?
She just wanted them to live a better life and arrive safely in the wilds of Lingnan. No one understood her thoughts.
There was no fun to watch, so Jiang Yue and his servant went back to sleep.
The next morning, when we gathered, the officers delayed our departure.
The fugitives lined up in the courtyard of the county government office, looking at each other, not knowing what was going on.
The chief constable came out with a whip in his hand and said, "We had a constable named Heizi before, everyone still remembers him, right?"
The fugitives looked at each other. Jiang Yue and Jiang Xue raised their eyebrows. Are they going to investigate Heizi's case?
"Kuroko didn't disappear; he was murdered. His body was thrown into the river and drifted towards Kyoto.
Now the county government has received the notice and has come to investigate.
Whoever did it among you, come forward and you can get a lighter punishment. But if I find out!
snort!
Kill without mercy!
You should know that officials are also officials.”
Jiang Xue looked at Jiang Jinyun and saw that her face was pale, without a trace of blood.
I didn't dare to look up, and my body was still shaking slightly.
Sure enough it was her.
None of the convicts moved, and the chief officer walked back and forth several times.
He stared at them intently, "When Heizi was found, all the silver he had was gone. But he had a jade gourd with his name engraved on it.
Now men are searched by the police, and women are searched by the maids from the county government office."
Jiang Jinyun clenched his fists tightly. He did touch a jade gourd on Heizi that night.
She never had the chance to go out and buy something to sell, so it was still on her.
How to do?
His eyes darted around and finally saw Wang, and he made up his mind.
He secretly stuffed the jade gourd into Wang's waist and went into the room to be examined first.
Just after the examination, I saw my mother Wang come in.
He stopped, his body trembling slightly, tears in his eyes, and turned to walk out.
After a while, there was a commotion in the house.
The old women held down Wang's arms and threw her in front of Liu Fan.
Wang cried out in injustice, saying that someone had stuffed it on her and it was not hers.
The chief officer looked at the three people from the eldest house. "Oh? He stuffed it into your hands. He must be someone close to you who could have stuffed it into your hands without making any noise. That means you three have a chance. Jiang Jinzhou has been handcuffed the whole time, so it can't be him.
That's Jiang Jinheng and Jiang Jinyun, who are they?"
The two were so scared that they knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that it was not them.
The chief officer ordered his men to whip the children. Wang looked at her children who were about to be beaten, and then looked at her daughter's pleading eyes.
In an instant she understood who had framed her.
But this is her only daughter, and she is the one she loves the most among her three children since childhood.
