Cute Wife Divorce Husband: Black-bellied Prince and Little Dumb Concubine

Chapter 139 The Tao Is Ruthless But Sentimental (Fate)

All kinds of cries were heard in King Jin's ears, as if he didn't hear them. With a stern face, he looked at the prison door locked by the jailer.

He walked over, and there was nothing but straw on the ground.

He observed carefully, there were spots of blood in the haystack at the other end.His brows were slightly condensed, and his pupils showed a hint of cruelty.

King Jin went to the dark prison for torture.

There are all kinds of torture instruments inside, which are no strangers to his cold-faced king.

It's just that seeing these killing tools this time, for the first time, he felt a cruel pain in his heart.

There is a kind of torture tool, which is a bamboo stick, and the flesh of the nail is pierced.Fingers connected to heart, this place hurts the most.Female prisoners are often forced to confess in this way.

Xiao Zijun just glanced at it, and felt heartbroken.

He thought of his bloody slender fingers that were slightly injured, and slowly clenched his fists in the armhole.

Seeing Prince Jin standing in the torture room for a long time, the little official in charge of torture timidly said with concern: "My lord, there is a lot of blood here, why don't you go somewhere else—"

Before the words finished, the jailer wailed, and his body flew a zhang away.

But he was kicked out by King Jin's boot.

After that, King Jin walked out of the torture room slowly.

Outside, the setting sun was beautiful, Xiao Zijuan's face seemed to be calm, but his heart had already been hurt a thousand times.

The past has become a trend, and everything can't go back to the beginning.

Not long after, I heard that the crown prince was held accountable by the emperor for this incident, but it was King Jin who interceded for him.

"Report to my father, this case has its own problems, and the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice have re-investigated it clearly."

The new judgment is that Mrs. Su's servant made a false statement, and it was Mr. Su's intention to misbehave first, and Ms. Ning's emergency defense caused the accidental death of someone injured.

According to the law at that time, the crime of rape by civilians should be punished by beheading. If the rape failed, if the perpetrator was the daughter of an official, the crime would be aggravated, and even if it was attempted, it would be sentenced to hanging.It's just that the law also has class attributes, and criminals are given different sentences according to the difference between civilians and officials.

In Ning Qingqing's case, he was acquitted in the end, Su Yutang finally kept his black hat, but a few small officials under the Ministry of Punishment became scapegoats.

*
Qingqing recuperated at the mansion for several days and gradually recovered, but Ninghou was always worried in his heart.

Even if the case is resolved, it will get a bad reputation if it gets out.

Outsiders don't say whether the murder was out of defense, even if the daughter's family was molested, it would be shameful, not to mention that the daughter's previous reconciliation with King Jin was known to everyone inside and outside the court.

One day, Marquis Ning went to a Taoist temple to seek a fortune-telling for his daughter.

Because Marquis Ning donated a lot of money for Guanli, the Taoist priest also paid special attention to him. Now seeing his sad face, he took the initiative to ask him about it.

Ning Hou shook his head and sighed, "The Taoist priest doesn't know something. My family has a debt-collecting daughter!"

The Taoist priest didn't ask all the details, but only asked her birth date and general face, and showed Ninghou her face and palm reading.

This calculation doesn't matter, the Taoist priest looked solemn, "I'm afraid the benefactor will not go well in recent years!"

"Why did the Taoist priest say that?" He obviously believed it, and his expression was a little anxious, "But my second daughter who was born in trouble?"

The Taoist priest nodded, "The benefactor looks at the extraordinary background, and the noble daughter is also a golden branch and jade leaf. She has a noble birth, and her appearance is even more impressive. It is a pity that she was born with a lot of fate. What kind of vision did she have when she was born?"

Lord Hou thought for a while, shook his head, and suddenly remembered something, and sighed, "When the second daughter was born, my wife died due to dystocia."

"This child is really not going well. Born without a mother, he had no milk to eat when he was young, and he was picky eater. When he grows up, he has a gluttonous mouth. It seems that he had nothing to eat in his previous life."

The priest said again, "Did the donor's daughter ever get sick when she was young?"

"The Taoist priest is really a god. To tell you the truth, she was sick when she was young and became stupid and dumb. She fell into the water by accident when she was 13 years old. Fortunately, God has blessed her. Her brain has returned, but she is still speechless. .It has only been half a year since he could speak. Unexpectedly, more incidents happened, and he almost lost his life."

The Taoist made some calculations, "I'm afraid that the misfortune of the benefactor and the daughter will all be caused by her speaking again!"

Ning Hou was taken aback, "Could it be that my daughter's successive troubles are all bad luck caused by her words?!"

Ning Zhihuan shook his head slowly, and murmured: "Impossible...Impossible, how could God be so cruel? She is looking forward to speaking—"

"The so-called blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and misfortunes and blessings depend on them. Once it comes, it will be safe. Everything has a certain way of heaven. We can only follow the trend and avoid it if we can."

"Pindao made a calculation, if the benefactor can escape this bad luck, unless—"

"Unless your daughter is separated from you, this place is not suitable for her to stay any longer. Her birth date does not match the current atmosphere of Kyoto, unless one day, the atmosphere here changes."

"Where is the anger?" Ning Hou couldn't help asking.

The Taoist with long twirled beard smiled faintly, "You can't do it, you can't do it. Even poor people can't understand the secrets of heaven."

Ninghou felt more and more that this priest was very mysterious and different from ordinary people.

The Taoist priest said again: "I saw that your nature is upright, so I gave a word of advice to the benefactor. In the cycle of karma, gains and losses are rewarded. If you stop and stop, disaster will happen."

It is said that after Ning Hou came out of this Taoist temple, he was very worried. After thinking about it, he would rather believe in its existence than in its non-existence.

With Qingqing's current situation, it is indeed difficult to stay in the capital, so he arranged for his daughter to leave Anjing.

Ninghou is going to send his daughter to Qinzhou, his hometown before his fortune.

Although the hometown of Qinzhou is the ancestral home of Hou Ningzhihuan, to be honest, there are no close people of Hou Ning in his hometown.

Ninghou's close branches also defected to Ninghou one after another. Back then, the Ning family in Qinzhou was a scholarly family for generations, but it just fell into decline. Ning Zhihuan was born to learn martial arts, and finally abandoned literature and became a famous general in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

It doesn't matter if he has no relatives, he just needs to write a letter, and with his reputation in Qinzhou as Marquis of Anding, it's not a problem for his relatives from the distant clan to take in and take care of his daughter. As long as there is enough money, no one will refuse.

Wait until a few years later to bring the daughter back, or find a good son-in-law from the common clan over there. With his father-in-law, the development of the son-in-law will not be a problem.

Hou Ning felt that such an arrangement was foolproof.

But Qingqing was not sent to Qinzhou immediately, it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was informed about this matter.

"Master Hou has always been a person whom Zihong respects, so he shouldn't be so superstitious. Before, Master Hou listened to the monk's words, which caused Su Changqing to resign and leave Anjing. Now you shouldn't blindly believe in these vain words in trivial matters. Word."

Previously, Su Changqing left because of his gentleness, but because the monk met Mr. Su of the Houfu by chance, and said to Mr. Hou: "This gentleman looks extraordinary, and he is definitely not mediocre. There may be some changes in the future." Na Ninghou remembered that Princess Wushuang fell in love with Su Changqing, and now his daughter has a close relationship with him, so he thought of dismissing her.
