After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 116 That Person Always Reassures Her
Seeing that the old yamen servant was motionless, Wei Zi secretly became ruthless, and pushed the hairpin towards his neck again: "Open the door!"

The head of the hairpin was sharp, and blood beads came out.

The old yamen servant had a pain in his neck. Realizing that they were not joking, he couldn't help swallowing, and quickly ordered the young yamen servant: "Quickly, open the door for them..."

The little yamen servant held a key, hesitated for a moment, and chose to open the lock obediently.

Anyway, they were just a group of helpless women, even if they escaped, they could always be chased back. The most important thing at the moment was his master's life.

The heavy stone door was slowly pushed open.

The sun shines in from the woods, and the autumn light is soft and warm, but to the women who have been waiting in the dark for a long time in the stone building, it can be regarded as dazzling.

Wei Zi still did not let go, threatening: "You retreat half a mile away."

The little yamen servant was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "No, let go of my master first!"

"I'll tell you to retreat half a mile away." Wei Zi repeated, holding the hairpin a little harder.

The old yamen servant was terrified, and hurriedly said: "What are you still doing in a daze, do as she says!"

The little yamen servant panicked, so he had to follow Wei Zi's request and retreat into the forest.

Wei Zi didn't say until he was out of sight, "Auntie, you go first."

The women gathered at the gate of the stone building, wanting to go outside, but they dared not.

They have been imprisoned here for too long, so long that they don't know how many years have passed outside, whether their relatives at home are still there.

If you escape rashly, and the family members can't get the 20 taels of silver, will you hate them to death?
If they are caught again, what will they face?

Wordless fear filled the hearts of the women, and they looked at each other, even though the freedom and sunshine they had longed for for many years were close at hand, at this moment, they did not dare to step out of the threshold.

Wei Zi was puzzled: "Auntie?"

The old woman sighed softly.

She sat on the threshold and looked at the woods from a distance: "Even if we escape, the family will not accept us. We have no way to survive outside. There is no place to eat and live, so we can only wait to die."

Wei Zi looked at the other women, their faces were full of sorrow, obviously they had the same concerns.

They have been imprisoned for too long to face the unknown, let alone take the first step.

It is very easy to take them to escape, but it is very difficult to take them out of their lives again.

"Go quickly!" The old woman waved her hand and urged in a low voice, "If you don't go, I'm afraid it will be too late."

While speaking, a woman with a tall frame replaced Wei Zi and grabbed the old servant.

Wei Zi was silent for a long time, no longer persuading, saluted all the women, and left the rock building quickly.

Holding a wide and complicated skirt, she walked through the dense forest alone, surrounded by rolling and uninhabited mountains. Wei Zi's sense of direction was very poor, and she ran in the wrong direction at first, but it was already two days later when she found out.

She relied on the berries and clear springs in the mountains to satisfy her hunger, and used moss to judge east, west, north, south, and stopped. It took her three days and three nights to finally reach the bluestone brick road into the city.

It was mid-afternoon, the sky was cloudy, the surrounding light dimmed visibly to the naked eye, and even the air was somewhat humid.

Wei Zi looked up at the sky, expecting a heavy rain soon.

She gritted her teeth and walked along the bluestone brick road, within half a mile, she suddenly saw a few horses galloping towards her, and the person sitting on the horses was the servant of the Chen family.

Wei Zi didn't have time to dodge, and was caught by Chen's servant Ding.

They grabbed her on the horse without hesitation, then turned the horse's head and headed towards the county seat of Shanyin County.

The Chen family is in the middle of a funeral.

White silk and white lanterns were hung all over the mansion, and there was an endless stream of country gentry and wealthy businessmen who came to pay their respects.

Chen Zijing actually died?
Wei Zi was puzzled.

She was brought into Chen's house through the back door, she didn't have time to think too much, she just quietly took off a pearl earring, and secretly threw it outside the back door when the servants were not paying attention.

Knowing that Wei Zi had been found, County Magistrate Chen immediately invited the guests out of the mourning hall, leaving only Chen Ruixiang and a few confidantes.

Chen Ruixiang's eyes were red and swollen from crying. When she saw Wei Zi, she knelt down on the ground: "Bitch, you killed my brother! Are you happy?!"

Wei Zi's voice was hoarse and stubborn: "He deserves his own fault, I'm just protecting myself, what's wrong with me?!"

"Bitch!"

Chen Ruixiang grabbed her by the hair, forced her to look up, slapped her hard twice, and pressed her head against the ground involuntarily. Her forehead hit the floor tiles with a loud bang.

Chen Ruixiang gritted her teeth: "It's your good fortune that my brother has taken a fancy to you. You don't know how to be grateful, but you deliberately blinded him, and even connived in your maidservant to scare him to death! How can there be such a vicious woman like you in the world? ?! You look like a flower and a jade, but why is your heart so vicious?!"

Wei Zi trembled all over, not because of fear, but because of anger.

This family is so unreasonable, Chen Zijing steals chickens and loses money, and he deserves his life, but his family blames her for not cooperating with him in committing crimes!

She said coldly: "Magistrate Chen, your son Chen Zijing forced women from a good family, your daughter Chen Ruixiang beat and sentenced me and insulted me in every possible way, you took bribes yourself, deliberately distorted the wishes of the parties for the sake of political achievements, and imprisoned those widows in the rock tower For more than ten years. Your whole family is a prisoner, and when the magistrate of Lingzhou arrives, none of you will run away!"

Chen Ruixiang smiled: "What are you, how dare you threaten my father?! Do you know that my father is the county magistrate of Shanyin County?! What's wrong with me beating you? Not only do I want to beat you, I also want you to be my brother!" Pay for your life! Someone, tie her up for me, drag her out and beat her to death!"

"Wait a minute—"

Chen county magistrate stopped.

Chen Ruixiang stomped her feet: "Father, you won't go crazy like your brother, right? Even if this bitch is really the eldest lady of Zhen Guogong's mansion, she must die today!"

"She must die, but she can't die in our house." County magistrate Chen stared at Wei Zi with dark eyes, "Come here, seal her in Jing'er's coffin and bury her together."

Wei Zi suddenly raised his head: "Magistrate Chen, if you kill me today, you will pay for it in the future!"

County magistrate Chen laughed strangely: "Miss Wei, you don't think that Chen has no life on his hands, right? Jing'er is very lonely under the nine springs. With you by my side, we can rest assured."

While speaking, several confidant guards had opened the coffin.

They firmly grabbed Wei Zi's arm, not allowing her to resist, and forcefully dragged her into the coffin.

As the coffin was closed, Chen Ruixiang let out a long breath: "The bitch is finally sent away."

County magistrate Chen waved his hand: "Sleepless nights, long dreams, let's bury him now."

The guards lifted the coffin.

As the suona mourning music was played in the courtyard, a group of people walked towards the outskirts of the city in a mighty manner.

The coffin was dark.

Wei Zi tried to keep a distance from Chen Zijing's body.

Obviously in a dead end.

But for some reason, she firmly believed that Xiao Fengxian would definitely find her.

that person……

That person was always reassuring to her.
