The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

The deputy came forward to check Gao Hengzhong's body, felt his breath, and checked his pulse. He cautiously said to Xu Jingzhen, who was sitting on the chair in the main hall of the Gao family: "Associate Manager, he is dead. "

Xu Jingzhen nodded, and the deputy continued to add: "She must have taken the poison earlier, but the poison took hold just now. The poison hit her heart and she vomited blood and died."

"Restrain yourself. After all, you are an old minister who has served your country loyally."

"Yes."

Xu Jingzhen stood up and walked to the door, looking at the rain that had become lighter outside. He felt in his heart that the rain had stopped, but the wind was about to start.

In the yard outside the main hall, the black scale guards were still holding the Gao family's family members with knives. Xu Jingzhen saw the female family member holding a three-year-old child, turned to his deputy and ordered: "Seal all the Gao family's things and bring them back. The dead people in the yard should restrain themselves, and those who are still alive, especially the women and children, please ask the soldiers to be more polite, and they will be interrogated by the Ministry of Punishment later."

"Yes, Assistant Manager."

The Black Scale Guards moved quickly, but it took only two hours and it was not yet noon. Except for the seal on the main entrance of the Gao family, it seemed that nothing had happened here.

Only those close to the Gao family could still smell a hint of the bloody smell wafting from the Gao family in their own homes.

Everyone knows that the Black Scale Guards are Emperor Wu's private army. This time, the Black Scale Guards surrounded the Gao family in the middle of the night, rushed into the Gao family near dawn, and carried out more than a dozen corpses covered with white cloth after dawn. It's really scary.

You know, the last time the Black Scale Guards appeared, dozens of people were beheaded on the high platform of Zhuque Street in Chang'an City.

People who have lived in Chang'an for a long time are smart and know what can and cannot be said.

Let everyone discuss the romantic affairs of the nobles in Chang'an City, they are all treasures;
But when it comes to such a private matter, few people would say anything about it when the facts are right in front of them.

The fact that the Black Scale Guards surrounded the Gao family in the middle of the night was not known until Xu Jingzhen presented the memorial at the court meeting five days later, and everyone pretended to know about it in the court hall.

Of course, the high-ranking red-robed officials had known about it for a long time. After all, Emperor Wu had been angry with them alone during the Xiaochao meeting.

"That's it. I believe that such rebellious officials should be severely punished according to the law in order to rectify the law of the country."

Xu Jingzhen concluded with a solemn expression. He was so cold-hearted and aloof, which caused many officials to start whispering with others in their positions.

It's just that the people talking in the hall are all the officials in red robes. How can the officials in red robes not know that Emperor Wu is acting together with Xu Jingzhen?

Sure enough, after seeing that the discussion in the court had fermented enough, a man named Lang Guan, who had always been at odds with Gao Hengzhong's political views, stepped forward.

The long and eloquent speech, with its gorgeous rhetoric, can be used as a model for people to recite the whole text. In fact, in summary, what the Lang Guan said is: "Rebellion is an unpardonable sin, but seeing that Gao Hengzhong has experienced two dynasties, he was also a For the sake of serving the country and the people, leave a trace of your blood for others."

Finally, Emperor Wu issued an edict affirming Gao Hengzhong's crime of treason, but also agreed to leave a bloodline to the Gao family.

Three groups of criminals, delinquents, and guards all interrogated the Gao family in the prison. They faced the female family members and children who obviously knew nothing. They only asked symbolic questions, and it only lasted one day. A meal of gruel is enough to sustain you.

On the other hand, two legitimate sons and one bastard of the Gao family were severely tortured. The bad guys had more tricks, and they actually found out something.

As for the two legitimate daughters and one concubine who were married in the Gao family, except for the concubine who was married in Jiangnan East Road, the other two legitimate daughters were all married in Chang'an.

The Ministry of Punishments sent an official to the house for routine questioning and then gently let the two married daughters go.

But one of the two legitimate daughters was really thoughtful and spent a lot of money to find connections, hoping to go to prison to visit her relatives.

According to legal rules, people should not be allowed to visit the prison, but because of the bad guys and the Ministry of Punishments deliberately letting him go, they wanted to use this as bait to see if they could catch anyone.

Therefore, Gao Huizhen, the legitimate daughter of the Gao family, actually wore a black cloak under the night and entered the women's prison where the female members of the Gao family were imprisoned.Gao Huizhen, who had spent a lot of dowry money to get such an opportunity, hid herself under her hood, followed the female jailer, and walked quickly into the depths of the dungeon.

When they arrived at the place, Gao Huizhen looked at Mrs. Gao half-lying inside the iron fence, and her heart ached.

"Mother!"

"Your Majesty, you'd better keep your voice low. For a quarter of an hour, Your Majesty, you'd better remember it."

The female jailer left a dim oil lamp and left the prison in the dark, leaving time for Gao Huizhen.

Mrs. Gao was half-lying on the haystack. After staying in this dark prison for several days, she felt as if she was hallucinating and heard the voice of her married eldest daughter.

"Mother!
Grandma, Grandma, Grandma, are you okay?

My son is here, my son."

The first person to react was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gao family. She huddled in the corner, raised her head and saw Gao Huizhen's face with her hood off through the moonlight coming from the small window above the cell.

"Hyizhen!"

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Gao family suddenly rushed over from the corner and grabbed Gao Huizhen's hand that came through the fence, "Huizhen!
Huizhen, help me, help me, I don’t want to die!I don't want to die! "

Feeling that what she said was not quite right, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gao family immediately changed her words and said: "No, help us, help us!
How do we, the female relatives, know anything about the things our father-in-law did?

Huizhen, Huizhen you”

Before the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gao family finished speaking, she was grabbed by Mrs. Gao who reacted. Even in prison, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gao family was still afraid of the majesty of her mother-in-law.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Gao family, who shrank back, closed her mouth and even let go of the hand she had grabbed on to Gao Huizhen in desperation.

Then Mrs. Gao held Gao Huizhen’s hand and said, “Huizhen!
Why are you here?

What are you here for?

Go quickly! "

"Aniang, Aniang!" Gao Huizhen, who had already burst into tears after calling her mother twice, was really heartbroken. Mrs. Gao, who had always appeared in front of others with dignity, was now unkempt and her bun was crooked. Wow, with such an undignified appearance, how could she be the third-grade lady who was envied earlier?

Mrs. Gao, who usually cares most about her appearance, couldn't care less about her appearance and manners now.
"The saint was magnanimous and allowed the life of Sanlang's child. That child is your nephew. It would be great if you can take over Lange's son and raise him when we wait for him in the future.

It is enough to leave a bloodline for the Gao family. "

Without waiting for Gao Huizhen to retort, Mrs. Gao urged her to leave. Just then, the footsteps of the female jailer came from a distance.

Finally, amidst the urging of the jailer, Gao Huizhen took one last look at Mrs. Gao, knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Gao, put on her hood with tears on her face and followed the female jailer away.

The bad spy hiding in the darkness of the prison followed Gao Huizhen and the female jailer and ran out, but they took a secret passage.

The bad guy had a sharp eye and saw that when Gao Huizhen and Mrs. Gao were holding hands across the iron fence, Mrs. Gao stuffed something into them. (End of chapter)
