Poor Family Laity

  The winter of the sixth year of Jiankang was a bit colder than usual. Since the beginning of winter, there have been several heavy snowfalls in the capital.

   On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily again.

  Among the snowflakes flying all over the sky, the gate of Duke Qing’s Mansion was opened, and the Luo family members were hunched over, pushed and shoved out by the Special Investigation Department, and taken to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

  The downfall of the Yipin State Mansion attracted people from the capital to watch and discuss.

  Duke Qing is not self-cultivating, and he lacks control over the Luo family, so that the Luo family often do evil outside.

  As soon as Qing Guogong’s mansion fell, there were several stacks of documents from the Shenluo family on the imperial case.

  The second master of the Luo family colluded with officials, took up lawsuits, and bullied others.

  The second wife of the Luo family, greedy by nature, secretly gave us usury money, amassing money crazily, forcing countless families to ruin.

  The third master of the Luo family is a coquettish and lustful man, who rapes the women of the people and forces them into prostitution.

  The rest of the Luo family also did their own evil.

  These crimes, together with harboring Chu Qinghuan, the granddaughter of the rebellious Prince Regent, and providing money and supplies to the Yan Party, finally, the Luo family was sentenced to be beheaded by a vegetable market.

  Baihualou, Du Danyan filled Ye Mo with a cup of hot wine with a smile: "Commander Ye, I heard that the people in the Duke of Qing's mansion will be beheaded tomorrow?"

  Ye Mo glanced at her: "What do you want to say?"

  Du Danyan: "I want to ask you for a favor."

  Ye Mo raised his head and drank the wine: "What's the matter?"

  Du Danyan: "I have a sister, the one who rescued Lan Zhi with me last time. She is a little old with the Luo family and wants to give the Luo family a ride."

  Ye Mo turned his head to look at her: "The case involving the Yan Party in the Duke Qing's government, even high-ranking officials would avoid it. Are you sure you want to move forward?"

  Du Danyan showed hesitation, but when he thought of Luo Qiyun's knots in these years, he smiled again and served Ye Moman wine: "I also invite Ye Moman to complete it."

  Ye Mo stared at her for a while: "Let someone find Zhao Jing."

  Seeing that Ye Mo agreed, Du Danyan was overjoyed, and hurriedly filled the dishes with wine.

  In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Duke Qing looked at the snowflakes flying outside the window in a daze, and felt that everything he had suffered now seemed like a ridiculous dream.

  Luo’s family members were separated into men and women in the two innermost cells. The imperial decree was read out yesterday, and they knew that they would be beheaded tomorrow. Everyone was sobbing in despair.

   "Da, da, da ~"

  The jailer brought people over.

  The Luo family looked over expectantly, hoping that someone would rescue them, but it was obvious that the person who came was just a poorly dressed servant, and the light in his eyes dimmed again.

   "There is not much time, hurry up."

  The jailer sent Luo Qiyun to him, and after a reminder, he turned and left.

  Luo Qiyun stood in front of the cell where the Luo family man was imprisoned, watching the Luo family man huddled in the corner in despair and embarrassment.

  The same is true for the female relatives next door.

  Looking at the appearance of the person who had hurt her, her mother, and younger brother, Luo Qiyun felt a burst of joy in her heart.

   "Which family are you from? Are you here to save us?"

  Master Luo San, who was most afraid of death, ran to the prison door, grabbed the railing, and looked eagerly at Luo Qiyun standing outside.

  Luo Qiyun didn't speak, and looked straight at Duke Qing who was still looking up at the window.

   "Which family are you a servant of, what are you talking about?" Master Luo San roared anxiously.

  Luo Qiyun still didn't speak, just looked at Duke Qing.

  Master Luo Er noticed it, and hurriedly bumped Duke Qing with his elbow.

  Duke Qing frowned, but turned his head to look over.

  The woman standing outside the cell was in her twenties and thirties, with an unremarkable appearance, but her dull face was inlaid with a pair of dark and bright eyes.

  Looking at these eyes, Duke Qing once again felt a sense of familiarity: "Who are you?"

  Luo Qiyun sneered, and threw a piece of jade pendant into the cell with a 'snap'.

   That is a piece of high-quality suet white jade, shaped like a cloud.

  The white jade fell to the ground and shattered.

  Seeing the jade pendant, Duke Qing's pupils shrank sharply, and he looked at Luo Qiyun in shock and shock, his lips trembling: "You are. You are"

  Luo Qiyun didn't answer, she turned her gaze to the window of the cell, watching the snowflakes outside drifting into the cell.

   "Do you know what it's like to be soaked in a glacier in the cold winter months?"

   "Cold to the bone."

  Luo Qiyun looked at Qing Guogong who was both surprised and happy: "I have a younger brother, but unfortunately his life is not good, he died at the age of ten."

   "I still remember when he died, it was also snowing heavily."

   "Someone hunted us down. I hugged my brother and hid in the glacier for a whole night. After dawn, I thought I had escaped from the sky. I never thought that my brother's body had already turned cold and hard."

  Duke Qing looked at Luo Qiyun, his lips trembling, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

  Luo Qiyun raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and said with a smile: "I also have a mother, whose life is not good. She was married to a wrong person, so she lost her life in vain."

   "My dearest and most loved people are gone, how can I just survive?"

   "I thought and thought, and finally found a goal to support my life."

  Luo Qiyun looked at Duke Qing with a particularly bright smile on his face: "My goal is to send all those perpetrators to hell."

Seeing the furious and unacceptable expression on Duke Qing's face, Luo Qiyun smiled even more proudly: "I have succeeded. In the past twelve years, I have wandered on the edge of life and death countless times. Fortunately, the heavens have eyes and let me get what I want." I wish."

  Duke Qing clutched his chest, and looked at Luo Qiyun with pain on his face: "Why?" The Luo family is also your home!

  Luo Qiyun seemed to have heard some joke: "Why? You still ask me why? Luo Changxin, you deserve to be played around by Wu Xinrui, you deserve to raise a son for someone else, you deserve to have the mansion collapsed."

   "Your life is a joke!"

   "噗~"

  Duke Qing couldn't bear it any longer, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

   "Brother!"

  Master Luo Er supported Qing Guogong, looked at Luo Qiyun, through the conversation just now, he seemed to guess who the person in front of him was, and asked in surprise: "You are. Qiyun? Are you still alive?"

  Master Luo San heard it, and rushed over immediately: "Qiyun? Are you Qiyun? Qiyun, save us quickly."

  Luo Qiyun looked at Master Luo San indifferently: "Although Luo Changxin is not a long-term lover, before Wu Xinrui entered the mansion, he still looked like a father and husband. Who brought Wu Xinrui into the mansion?"

  Master Luo San stopped talking, he was the one who led Wu Xinrui into the Duke of Qing's mansion, and he was the one who hooked up Wu Xinrui with his elder brother.

  But he never expected that his elder brother would be so obsessed with Wu Xinrui!

  Luo Qiyun no longer looked at Duke Qing, but looked at the snowflakes outside the window: "Mother and younger brother both died in the cold winter, tomorrow you will also experience how they felt before they died."

   After finishing speaking, he was about to turn around and leave.

"etc."

  Master Luo Er suddenly stood up: "Qiyun, the manor is sorry for you, it doesn't matter if we die, but your nephew is still young, he is less than one year old, please save him and leave some blood for the Luo family."

  Luo Qiyun turned around indifferently, and said sarcastically: "Your biological daughter married into Prince Rong's mansion. You didn't look for her, but entrusted her to me?"

  Hearing this, Second Master Luo's face froze.

  After the Luo family was imprisoned, Qi Lan never visited them.

  He knew that the Rong Palace must not allow it, but he was still a little disappointed.

Speaking of Prince Rong's Mansion, Luo Qiyun's eyes filled with sternness again, and she looked at Duke Qing: "The temptress doesn't know that I discovered her secret, as long as I deal with it carefully, the temptress will find no reason or opportunity to kill me and my brother." of."

   "But do you know, your good second brother, in order to let his daughter Luo Qilan marry into the Rong Palace instead of me, handed the knife to the seductress and Wu Xinrui."

   "For such a family with such a vicious heart, extinct heirs will be the punishment given to you by God."

  When Duke Qing heard these words, he was angry and furious. He looked at Master Luo Er with his head down, not daring to look at him, and his chest cramped again.

  He is indeed a joke!

   Not only did his concubine betray him, but even his own younger brother did so many things behind his back.

  Duke Qing looked at Luo Qiyun guiltily, and wanted to say something, but he still couldn't open his mouth.

  Luo Qiyun looked at the pained Duke Qing, sneered a few times, turned and left.

   "Stop!"

  Master Luo stopped him again, and threatened: "If you don't rescue your nephew, I'll reveal your identity. Qing Guogong's house is full of robbers, and you can't escape."

  Luo Qiyun was not frightened: "Luo Qiyun died twelve years ago, and now I am like this, who will believe you if you tell me?" After speaking, she left without looking back.

   When Master Luo saw it, he opened his mouth and shouted: "She is Luo"

   "咻~"

  A stone flew into Master Luo Er's mouth, and after a while, blood oozed from the corner of Master Luo Er's mouth.

   "Ah, ah, ah~"

  Master Luo Er covered his mouth and yelled ahhh. He yelled for a long time, but he couldn't utter a complete word.

  Master Luo San looked at Master Luo Er who was bleeding continuously from his mouth, and looked at Duke Qing in horror.

  The eldest brother directly made the second brother dumb!

  Duke Qing looked at his two younger brothers: "This is what the government owes her." As he spoke, he laughed at himself, "Don't be afraid, my elder brother will go to the guillotine with you tomorrow."

  In the dark cell not far away, Ye Mo and Zhao Jing silently watched Luo Qiyun leave, and watched Duke Qing make Master Luo Er dumb.

   "Tsk tsk~"

  Ye Mo looked at Zhao Jing who was sighing: "You seem to be very touched?"

  Zhao Jing nodded, and said emotionally: "You can't offend women, look, this woman has become ruthless, and a first-rank Duke's mansion has been wiped out like this."

   "Boss, really, many times I find that this woman is more forgiving than a man."

   "Take the matter of Duke Qing's Mansion as an example. If it was Luo Qiyun's younger brother who survived back then, it is very likely that Duke Qing's Mansion would not collapse today."

  Ye Mo: "What you are talking about is nonsense, where is the if in this world?"

   But there is a good saying, women are sometimes more open than men.

  Earlier when the Great Chu was founded, Empress Wende took the lead. The Chu clan and Empress Wende had fought against each other for decades, but they were always overwhelmed.

  Zhao Jing changed the subject: "Boss, is it really Luo Qiyun who gave us the evidence of Chu Qinghuan's crime?"

  Ye Mo: "Do you think she can freely enter and exit the Special Examination Division with her skills?"

  Zhao Jing shook his head: "Who is the person who sent us the news?"

  Ye Mo didn't answer, but said: "Order, don't spread the matter of visiting the prison today."

   On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily.

  Even if the weather is cold, early in the morning, the Caishi entrance of Nanmen is still crowded with people on the inner and outer third floors.

  Today is the day when the Luo family beheaded. Everyone wanted to come and witness the demise of a duke’s mansion.

   Outside the crowded crowd, a carriage was parked.

  In the carriage, Luo Qilan was wiping her tears with her head down.

  Chu Xuan, the prince of Rongjun, looked at his wife who was crying softly with her back turned to him, knowing that she was complaining about the palace's failure to save her, so she couldn't help explaining:

"Chu Qinghuan is hiding in the back house of Duke Qing's mansion to make trouble. The mansion of Qing Guoguo has provided the Yan Party with more than ten years of property. It is simply a den of the Yan Party. It is really difficult for the Palace to speak out. I hope you can understand." .”

  Luo Qilan sobbed: "I know that Duke Qing's crimes cannot be pardoned, but my parents are not the main ones to blame. Is it okay to save their lives?"

  Chu Xuan's expression was light: "The guilt of father-in-law and mother-in-law is not light."

  Hearing this, Luo Qilan looked at Chu Xuan with red eyes: "Are you still worried about me marrying you in place of Luo Qiyun back then?"

   "You have resentment towards my parents, and you feel that Luo Qiyun's death is related to them, and you have kept your resentment to this day, that's why you don't want to save them."

   "If Luo Qiyun begs you today, you are afraid that you are contradicting your grandparents and also speaking for Duke Qing's mansion?"

  When Luo Qiyun was mentioned, Chu Xuan's face darkened instantly: "Yun'er has been gone for more than ten years. Is it interesting for you to keep mentioning someone who has passed away?"

   After finishing speaking, he strode out of the carriage as soon as the curtain was lifted.

  Luo Qilan's servant girl saw her, and couldn't help persuading her: "Mrs. Shizi, you don't want to be angry with Shizi at this time. The Duke's Mansion is gone. In the future, in the Wangfu, the only person you can rely on is Shizi."

  Luo Qilan sneered: "I have been married to Chu Xuan for more than ten years, how has he ever let me rely on him? In his heart, I am not as good as a dead person."

  The servant girl stopped talking, the prince liked the eldest girl. After the eldest girl had an accident, it was the girl who wanted to replace her elder sister and marry into the palace.

  For so many years, the relationship between the prince and the girl has always been icy. The girl has no heirs so far, and now that the Duke’s mansion is gone, how will the girl live in the palace in the future?

  The noise outside the carriage suddenly became louder, and Luo Qilan didn't care to be angry with Chu Xuan anymore, she lifted the curtain and looked towards the execution ground.

  The members of the Luo family have been escorted over.

  Looking at the thinly dressed parents who were being escorted and kneeling, the tears in Luo Qilan's eyes couldn't stop streaming down.

  At this moment, among the crowded crowd, Luo Qiyun was also watching the Luo family who was about to be beheaded.

  Duke Qing allowed the executioner to press himself on the chopping platform. After he was taken to Caishikou, he kept staring at Luo Qiyun in the crowd until the executioner raised the machete, and then silently closed his eyes.

   "It's time, cut!"

  Luo Qiyun originally thought that she could watch the machete fall with her own eyes, but before the knife fell, she still closed her eyes.

  When I closed my eyes, there were still tears falling down.

  Smelling the smell of blood in the air, Luo Qiyun didn't look at the scene, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, turned around and left against the flow of people.

  When she squeezed out of the crowd, she saw Chu Xuan standing outside the carriage not far away. Luo Qiyun was stunned for a moment, and the moment she saw Chu Xuan looking over, she immediately walked away with her head bowed.

that person.

  Chu Xuan frowned and looked at Luo Qiyun's back as he walked away.

   "The son of the world."

  The voice of the entourage made Chu Xuan look away.

"What's wrong?"

   "Mrs. Shizi said that she wanted to collect the body of the Luo family."

  Chu Xuan gave an 'um', turned and walked towards the carriage, walked a few steps, and couldn't help but look back.

  The woman's eyes were like Yun'er's.

   Yuner

  Thinking of the girl who danced for him under the crabapple tree, Chu Xuan's heart ached.

  On the second floor of the teahouse opposite Caishikou, Shi Fuxin looked at Chu Xuan who was ordering someone to collect the body of the Luo family: "Who is that person?"

  Yan Daizi replied: "Chu Xuan, the son of Prince Rongjun."

  Shi Fuxin showed surprise: "Chu Yao's big brother?!" Hastily looked at it a few more times, and after reading it, she gave a comment, "Not as good-looking as Chu Yao."

  The cigarette bag lowered its head and did not answer.

  Shi Fuxin suddenly said 'huh': "How could Chu Yao's elder brother help the Luo family collect the corpse?"

  Cigarette bag: "Chu Xuan's eldest son's wife is the daughter of the second wife of Duke Qing's mansion. The person who married Chu Xuan should be the eldest daughter of Duke Qing, but all of Duke Qing's sons and daughters are dead."

   This news surprised Shi Fuxin even more. Luo Qiyun and Chu Xuan were originally a couple?

  With her mother and brother dead, and her fiancé lost, Luo Qiyun should have hated the Luo family.

   "Let's go, come back."
