Flower Moon

Chapter 34
On the second day, Tao Yue'er was interrogated by the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture. Before the interrogation, in order to prevent her from talking nonsense, she was beaten again severely.After beating her until she could hardly tell the difference between east, west and north, she was changed into a clean dress and dragged to the court.

Outside the courtroom, a lot of theatergoers gathered. These people were not interested in Tao Yue'er, but in Miaoxiangtang.

Everyone knows that Tao Yueer stole the new fragrance that Miaoxiangtang will release at the end of the month. If the evidence is convincing, does that mean that Miaoxiangtang will not release new fragrance this year?
When Tao Yue'er appeared in the court, she kept searching the crowd, but seeing that there was no Hua Ling in the crowd, she relaxed her nervousness.

For some reason, she was actually reluctant to be interrogated in front of Hua Ling.She didn't want Hua Ling to be involved in the trouble she caused herself.

"Crack!" Fu Yin slapped the gavel violently, and Tao Yue'er was thrown to the ground.

Tao Yue'er's legs knocked against the bricks, which instantly touched the wound and tore the flesh.She grinned her teeth in pain, but didn't say a word "pain".

"Sinful girl Tao Yue'er, since you have pleaded guilty, I will spare you the sentence of imprisonment for the sake of your confession. From now on, you will be exiled to Muzhou, and you will never be allowed to return to Beijing." The verdict was as Lan Sheng wished, and Tao Yueer was driven far away from Jingzhou.

She really hated herself!

Thinking of this, Tao Yueer suddenly seemed to remember something, looked up in shock, and blurted out: "If I go into exile, what will Hualing do?"

Her breath was like a gossamer, and her voice was so small that ordinary people couldn't hear it at all.A lot of theatergoers gathered outside the hall, even if they heard it, no one knew who the flower Ling she was talking about was.

Only a red-clothed boy in fresh clothes and angry horse heard the words, raised the corners of his mouth, and snorted helplessly: "Death is imminent, and I still think about wild men."

The loud discussions from the crowd around him drowned out his unhappiness.Ji Hanyu thought about it, and decided not to get involved in this mess for the time being.

If the person surnamed Hua and Tao Yueer become strangers from now on, that is the ending he would like to see the most.As for whether Tao Yue'er should be exiled or imprisoned, it is much better than the unclear relationship with that surnamed Hua now.

As for the future, if there is a destiny, he will help where he can.

In the afternoon of the same day, Tao Yue'er was chained and chained, and escorted by two officials to Muzhou.

Muzhou is located in the northwest of Jingguo, adjacent to Liuguo, where there have been wars for many years.Not suitable for life.

Tao Yue'er is not afraid of suffering, nor is she afraid of being displaced. What she is afraid of is actually the separation of relatives and the difficulty of seeing Hualing again.

Tao Yue'er refused to go any further, and faltered and said that she would wait for someone.She was reprimanded by the officials for wandering around, and she pretended not to hear her at first, but when she was lifted up by two people driving one on the left and the other on the right, and the moment she stepped out of the city gate with both feet, her eyes suddenly turned red, and her whole body was like It's like being crushed.

"I was wronged! I don't want to leave here... I still have a younger brother who needs my care! He is still waiting for me!"

Tao Yueer is really not a weak person.She has suffered a lot since she was a child, but she has never felt so helpless... She has always lived in Jingzhou, where there are good and bad, fierce and warm.

The most important thing is that there is her concern here.

Hua Ling's illness is still not cured, and she is gone, how should she live?Let him go out to beg?

She didn't dare to imagine, how could a person like the bright moon be so hypocritical to others, how could he lower his head to flatter others?How miserable he must be!
Tao Yue'er walked forward step by step under the supervision of the official, she turned her head while walking, but she never saw Hua Ling from the beginning to the end.

She thought that she would not be interrogated so soon, and she also thought that she would not leave so soon, so Hua Ling stayed with her all night, and she should rest in the residence during the day.

She didn't expect that the mistaken miss made last night an eternal farewell.

Ji Hanyu stood under the city gate, surrounded by officers and soldiers. Originally, no one was allowed to stay here, but because Ji Hanyu's clothes were worn by the nobles' sons, plus the sword on his back, he was worth a look. People, no one will take care of him.

He looked at Tao Yue'er coldly, turning her head three times a step, reluctant to let go, he knew she was waiting for someone.

But at the same time, he also hoped that the person Tao Yueer was waiting for would never come.

Ji Hanyu followed Tao Yue'er not too far away, intending to go to a deserted place to rob the prisoners, and then give the officers some drugs to make them forget what happened on the way.The plan was perfect, and the official was no match for him, but he didn't expect that he had just walked ten feet away, when he heard a rush of hooves behind him——

"There is an order from the Holy Spirit, because Immortal Lord Penglai came to Jingguo and promulgated the edict, so the world is amnesty, and all prisoners can be exempted from the first-level punishment!"

When Ji Hanyu turned his head, he saw an official come out on horseback and galloped to Tao Yue'er.

Tao Yueer and Ji Hanyu were both taken aback.

After Tao Yueer was surprised, she was overjoyed.But Ji Hanyu was shocked.

Tao Yueer's crime of theft was already considered a misdemeanor, so she should be released in court after being pardoned.She only thought that she had regained her freedom, and she didn't care about who the Penglai Immortal Lord was.

But Ji Hanyu is a member of the Xuanmen, and the Penglai Immortal Lord represents the supreme and radiant Penglai Immortal Island, which is the most yearning place for all Xuanmen.

The Immortal Lord of Penglai is the one who governs Penglai and is above all the immortals!

For thousands of years, no one has been to Penglai.And there are only a handful of immortals coming from Penglai, and they can be counted with one finger.And among them, no one can tell whether it is true or not.

This time, it was really unbelievable that the Immortal Lord of Penglai came to Jingguo.

If he is really the Immortal Lord of Penglai, let alone Jingguo's lord amnesty, according to the Nine-Party Pact, the other nine countries must also implement great things to benefit the country and the people, ranging from tax cuts for half a year to opening warehouses to release grain , the whole world celebrates.

Seeing that Tao Yueer was safe and sound, Ji Hanyu immediately turned around and decided to go to the imperial city to find out what the Penglai Immortal Lord looked like...

Tao Yue'er was taken back to the Jingzhao Mansion Prison in this way.

At this time, many people gathered outside the prison cell, all of whom came to reunite with their relatives after hearing that the lord of the country gave the world amnesty.

Tao Yue'er watched them being released one by one, and she let go of a big rock hanging in her heart-it turned out that the amnesty for the world was true.

Tao Yue'er was removed from the shackles and shackles. She thought she was free, but the next moment, she was pushed to the ground, and a cold voice sounded above her head: "You can go, but according to the rules, you need to stay Write down something to distinguish you from ordinary people."

There was no emotion in that voice, as if what was going to happen next was an extremely ordinary thing——it was extremely ordinary for prisoners, but for Tao Yueer it was a catastrophe.

The soldering iron was burning red and stopped before her eyes.

The original way to distinguish ordinary people from thieves is to leave an eternal imprint on the thieves—branding.

Tao Yue'er's eyes widened suddenly, and then, "呵啦", Tao Yue'er felt her right forehead heat up, and a smell of burnt meat rushed into her nostrils.And then the scorching sympathy came, and the shrill cry resounded through the sky in an instant——

Stinging and scorching came alternately, but the physical pain was far less than the pain in her heart.

Now she is not only disfigured, but also completely lost her reputation.

In the future, no matter where she is in the Nine Kingdoms, she will always carry the word 'pirate'.Accompanied for life, never dissipated.

She will always be a thief.

Even if she never stole anything... She is just a 'thief' in the eyes of others.
