spend time

Jiang Shaohua glanced at the women's faces one by one, feeling a little heavy.

The men are easy to deal with. Just give them some money for travel expenses and let them go home. How should we deal with these women who are looking miserable and confused?

In fact, the custom in Daliang is quite broad, and widows can remarry. However, these women in front of me have all been tortured by bandits, and the world cannot tolerate them.

"Please tell me your name one by one." Jiang Shaohua calmed down and said slowly: "Tell me your name, age and how you entered Heisong Village."

The women had never seen Jiang Shaohua's fierceness and ferocity when killing people. They only felt that the Nanyang Princess in front of them was beautiful, gentle and friendly, and she was crying without opening her mouth.

"Princess, my name is Lin Huiniang." A woman cried: "This year is twenty-three. I passed here with my husband three years ago, and our husband and wife were arrested in the stockade. The bandits threatened my husband's life, and I I don’t even dare to die, I have been living in the bandits’ den for three years, and I am too embarrassed to go back to my in-laws’ house, and I can’t go back to my parents’ house.”

The other women also cried and complained that their experiences were almost the same as those of Lin Huiniang. Seven or eight of them had their husbands standing by.

But only three people opened their mouths to take their wives down the mountain. The others remained silent, obviously unwilling to take their wives who had lost their virginity home.

Jiang Shaohua glanced at the three men who took the initiative to take their wives home: "Think carefully, are you really willing to take your wives home?"

A firm answer: "I am willing."

The other attitude is also firm.

The last one hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I will take her to a place where no one knows us and resettle her."

Although not as good as the first two, it is still affectionate and righteous.

Jiang Shaohua nodded slightly and asked Tubai to bring three purses and give them to the three couples for travel expenses.

There were two small silver ingots in the purse, adding up to twenty taels of silver. Enough to build a small house.

The three couples knelt down and kowtowed with red eyes, supported each other and left.

The other women looked at their husbands eagerly. Unfortunately, what they got in exchange was face after face.

Jiang Shaohua turned his eyes and looked at the men who didn't want to take their wives away: "You guys have also thought clearly. If you don't take them away today, you will write a letter of divorce, severing all ties, and no longer entangled in them. .”

One of the tall and thin men immediately responded: "I'll write it right now."

Lin Huiniang covered her face with her sleeves and cried uncontrollably.

It seems that this is Lin Huiniang's husband.

Jiang Shaohua's eyebrows did not move, and his voice was calm: "Yin Zhu, give him a pen and paper."

The tall, thin man had been studying for two years and his handwriting was not very good, but he was good at writing a letter of divorce. After writing it, he wanted to give it to the princess in person, but Yin Zhu glared hard, took the divorce letter from his hand, and sent it to the princess.

Jiang Shaohua glanced at it and tore up the divorce letter. He moved the spear in his hand and hit the man's leg with only a little force. The tall and thin man screamed and fell to the ground, sweating in pain.

Lin Huiniang reflexively went to help her husband, but the tall and thin man pushed her away in disgust.

"Writing a divorce letter is not a divorce letter." The princess's cold voice came: "Don't waste my time."

The tall and thin man accepted the humiliation, struggled to get up, hastily wrote a letter of separation and stuffed it into Lin Huiniang's hand.

Lin Huiniang held the Heli book in her hands and burst into tears.

Some of the remaining men could not write, so they begged the tall and thin man to write for them. In about half an hour, all the letters of departure were written.

There was a woman who was crying and bumping against a stone pillar with her book in hand. Thanks to the quick eyesight and quick hands of the soldiers, they knocked this excited woman unconscious.

Not only did the woman's husband not come forward to care, but he looked disgusted and wished she would be killed immediately. Jiang Shaohua's eyes were slightly cold and he ordered: "Send a few of them down the mountain."

Travel expenses are nothing.

A man wanted to open his mouth, but when he saw the menacing soldiers, he immediately softened and shut his mouth. He bowed his head and left honestly.

The men left one by one, and in the end only a father and son were left.

The pair are equally thin, but they can't hide their scholarly bearing, which shows that they have good backgrounds. Both father and son had scratches on their faces. It was obvious that they had been taught a lesson yesterday.

The sad girl standing next to them is slim, with outstanding appearance and gentle temperament. She is the most outstanding among the group of women.

Jiang Shaohua looked at it calmly and asked, "What is your name?"

The girl had been crying for an unknown amount of time, her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was hoarse: "Back to the princess, my surname is Kong, my maiden name is Qingwan, I am seventeen years old this year. My ancestral home is Lu County."

"This is my father and brother."

Jiang Shaohua nodded slightly and looked at the father: "Are you willing to take her home?"

The man gritted his teeth and said with a heart: "Princess, our Kong family is a scholarly family with strict family rules. There is no widow in the family to remarry, let alone a woman who has lost her virginity. She has lost her innocence and should have committed suicide long ago. …”

Kong Qingwan's beautiful face was filled with sadness, but she did not shed tears, and her eyes were dim.

Jiang Shaohua interrupted Kong Qingwan's father's chatter: "Your clan rules are so strict, do men who enter the bandit village have to kill themselves?"

man:"……"

Kong Qingwan's brother's eyes flashed with resentment, and he actually interrupted: "The man entered the bandit village because of bad luck. The woman lost her virginity. For a woman, chastity is more important than life. How can a man and a woman be together? Same."

Jiang Shaohua raised his eyelids and said, "It's different. Miss Kong is not as cruel as you and your son."

The father and son shut up again.

They didn't want to take her away at all, they were just afraid of the power of the county lord and didn't dare to speak again.

Kong Qingwan's body trembled slightly, and water shone in her beautiful eyes again. She bit her lip hard, knelt down and kowtowed three times: "The princess is so kind to save her life, and the daughter of the people can't repay her. The daughter of the Kong family can't go back. Please let the father and brother of the daughter of the Kong family go!"

He kowtowed to his biological father three more times: "Father supported me for a long time, but today our relationship as father and daughter has ended. I only hope that my father will pass the imperial examination in the future and everything goes well."

Everyone chooses their own path.

Jiang Shaohua did not interfere with Kong Qingwan's choice, and only said: "Write a letter of righteousness between father and daughter before leaving."

Kong Qingwan's biological father nodded quickly and quickly wrote a letter of righteousness. He is a scholar, writes fluently and has good handwriting.

Kong Qingwan held the book of justice, her lips trembled again and again, and she squeezed out a few words: "Take care of it all the way!"

The father and son supported each other and left in a hurry without even looking back.

Next, there are about ten women without husbands, fathers or brothers.

The worst thing was a young girl who looked like she was only eleven or twelve years old. She had not yet fully grown up. There were scars on her wrists and neck that were exposed outside her clothes. Her eyes were dull, she couldn't speak clearly, she could only giggle, and her mind was already a little out of control.

Even though he has a heart of stone, he feels pity when he sees it.
