Husband has a sweetheart

Chapter 27
Luo Danxia hadn't seen her cousin Zhang Yuqing for a few days. She didn't have many friends in the capital with whom she could talk, and she liked Zhang Yuqing very much, so she begged Luo Danyang to take her to Zhang's mansion to find her cousin.

Luo Danyang was also thinking about that smart and beautiful cousin, and took Luo Danxia to the gate of Zhang's mansion, just in time for Zhang Yuqing to take Wang Chunniang out in a hurry.

"Yuqing, where are you going?" Luo Danxia poked her head out of the bullock cart and asked excitedly.

Zhang Yuqing stepped forward and said, "Are you looking for me on purpose?"

"Yes!" Luo Danxia laughed, "You haven't come to my house for a few days, so I had to ask my brother to bring me to find you!"

Luo Danyang next to him looked at the quiet and beautiful girl and smiled slightly.

"Unfortunately, I have something urgent to go out today." Zhang Yuqing said in a difficult way.

Luo Danxia asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Yuqing hesitated for a moment, but there was nothing to hide from them, they were not outsiders, so she lowered her voice and said about going to the execution ground today.

"My cousin and cousin please keep it secret and don't tell my aunt." Zhang Yuqing begged, "This matter is of great importance, so please forgive me for not being able to entertain you today."

She is an unmarried woman, after all, it is inappropriate to go to the execution ground, and it is for someone who has nothing to do with her. If her elders find out, they will definitely stop her.

Luo Danxia's eyes straightened when she heard this, and when she saw Zhang Yuqing turned to leave, she immediately reached out and grabbed Zhang Yuqing's arm, "Wait, I want to go too!"

"No!" Zhang Yuqing flatly refused.

Luo Danxia was not happy, she pouted and said, "Why can you go and I can't?"

Zhang Yuqing pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing.To tell the truth, Luo Danxia is a serious official daughter, but she is just an orphan who has not been officially recognized by the Zhang family, so she can go, but Luo Danxia cannot.

"Why does my cousin do this for someone she doesn't know?" Luo Danyang asked suddenly.

Zhang Yuqing explained earnestly: "Actually, it's not that we don't know each other. The prisoner's younger brother sent us to Beijing. On the way to Beijing, we encountered bandits several times. We were able to get here safely because of their protection. I have nothing to repay him. .Now that they have difficulties, they will be powerless in the end and cannot change the result. I should also be by their side and go through this most difficult time."

"It's getting late, we have to hurry!" Zhang Yuqing said, turned and left.

At this time, a shout came from behind her, "Yuqing!"

Zhang Yuqing looked back, Luo Dan got off the carriage and looked at her with a smile.

"I'll take you there!" Rodanyang said.

Zhang Yuqing looked at him in surprise, and declined, "Cousin, the execution ground is not a good place..."

"I know." Luo Danyang smiled, "The prisoner's younger brother helped you. I, we are your relatives, and we should also thank him."

Zhang Yuqing shook her head, "But, cousin..."

"Although I'm not talented, at least I have the status of a juror. If I'm dealing with government officials, it's always better if I come forward." Luo Danyang smiled softly and brightly, "It's somewhat useful to let me follow, isn't it?"

Luo Danxia also got out of the bullock cart, and put her arms around Zhang Yuqing's shoulders, "Let us go too! Yuqing, can you treat us like outsiders?"

She wanted to watch the excitement, but of course she was also worried about the fate of the innocent prisoner who was wrongly beheaded.

Zhang Yuqing had no choice but to refuse, and got into the bullock cart with Wang Chunniang.

The execution ground is in an open space outside the city gate in the suburbs of Beijing, with a few willow trees planted beside it, very close to the moat.Many people knew that today was the day to cut off the heads of prisoners, and they all came early to watch the fun, and it was so crowded.

The sky is cloudy, the air is humid and dull, and swallows and dragonflies are flying low for food.

Zhang Yuqing and others got out of the bullock cart and searched for Fang Mo among the crowd.

I don't know if there are too many people killing people in this place, even though summer is coming soon, Zhang Yuqing still feels gloomy.

"Fang Mo!" Zhang Yuqing saw Fang Mo and shouted loudly.

Fang Mo and a group of men gathered together, beside a dilapidated cart, an old lady with gray hair and shabby clothes was lying on the cart.

Luo Danyang escorted Zhang Yuqing and the others.

Fang Mo hurriedly said to the men next to him: "This is Miss Zhang who has a way to help us!"

The old lady on the cart stretched out her skinny hand excitedly, waving and groping in the air, "Are you the benefactor who saved my son?"

Zhang Yuqing could see that the old woman's eyes were gray and without any brilliance. She was obviously blind. She reached out and took the old lady's hand, and said softly: "Ma'am, brother He is lucky, we just help Just think of a way, not a benefactor."

"If you can save my son, you are my benefactor!" The old lady burst into tears, "My son was wronged!"

He Qi has been in prison for many days, and the old lady has no one to take care of her. In addition, she is seriously ill and blind, her body is filthy, and her body smells very bad. Her dark hands are in sharp contrast with Zhang Yuqing's thin white hands.

Luo Danyang watched with his hands behind his back, and Zhang Yuqing gently and patiently persuaded the broken and wronged old woman without even frowning.

A few big guys next to him asked in a hurry: "Ms. Zhang, do you really have a way to save Senior Brother?"

"That's right, will it work or not?"

Fang Mo immediately said: "It depends on human effort. Whether it succeeds or not, I will complain for the big brother! Even if it doesn't work, I will admit it. Brothers, please don't blame Miss Zhang."

"Of course not! He also came to help us out of kindness." One of them said.

Fang Mo smiled sadly, "If it doesn't work... Brothers, remember to burn some paper for me and the senior brother during the holidays."

"What nonsense!" the men scolded.

Someone else said: "I'm going to complain! Little Mo, you managed to get a job in front of a big shot. You have a bright future! You can't just fold in like this!"

"Let me go! I am the oldest!"

Fang Mo shook his head resolutely, "You are all people with families. You have parents, wives and children at home. Only I have nothing to worry about, and the elder brother treats me as much as a mountain, so I should go. The matter is settled like this, I will complain later!"

At this moment, the prison cars for escorting the prisoners drove over one after another from the city, and the crowd who watched the excitement became commotion. Many people were amazed, saying that there were especially many people killed today, and their excitement was beyond words.

Luo Danxia hugged Zhang Yuqing's arm anxiously, she couldn't believe it, she felt chills all over her body, "What are these people happy about? Is beheading a good thing?"

She is an official lady raised in a deep boudoir, she has never seen such a scene.

Zhang Yuqing let out a long breath, shook her head and said in a low voice, "They are just cold-blooded and numb spectators... Cousin, you should go back with cousin!"

"That's right, Miss Luo, it's going to be very scary! Don't watch it!" Wang Chunniang also persuaded.She was afraid that Luo Danxia would do something bad by scaring her, and Mrs. Luo would turn her anger on Zhang Yuqing.

Luo Danxia held Zhang Yuqing's arm and did not let go, "If I don't leave, even Yuqing dares to look at it. Why don't I dare?"

She is still a sister!

One of Fang Mo's seniors suddenly pointed at a prison car and shouted, "Senior Brother! Is that man Senior Senior Brother?"

Zhang Yuqing looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a tall prisoner standing in the car with disheveled hair, a heavy wooden shackle hanging around his neck, and blood stains all over his body.

Fang Mo didn't expect the elder brother to be so miserable, and his eyes turned red.

The blind old lady on the cart squeezed Zhang Yuqing's hand excitedly, "My son is here? Is it him?"

Zhang Yuqing hurriedly said, "Brother He was brought here."

"How is my son? Is he all right?" the old lady asked with tears.

Zhang Yuqing only hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother He is a little dirty, but he seems to be in good spirits, so he didn't suffer much in prison."

The old lady was slightly relieved when she heard the words, and then she thought that her only son who was dependent on each other would be beheaded soon, her eyes were empty and desperate, and shed tears.

It hurts to watch.

Luo Danxia's eyes turned red, and she whispered to her brother: "I didn't even know that there are such miserable people in this world!"

In the past, her biggest worry was that the jewelry was not as good-looking as other girls', or that the clothes she wore when she went out to meet people were not the latest styles. She didn't know that there are people in this world who work hard day and night but can't eat enough, can't wear clothes, and have to be tortured. People were falsely imprisoned, their heads were beheaded as a public display, and there was no place to seek justice until death. His life was buried in the execution ground in vain, and a group of numb and cold-blooded onlookers applauded.

Luo Danyang said softly: "It's not in vain for you to have such an understanding. I took the risk of being scolded by my mother to bring you here." After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhang Yuqing.

Zhang Yuqing held the old lady's hand tightly and looked at the prison car sharply.

The prisoners were driven out of the car one by one by the officials like cattle and sheep, and lined up to walk to the execution ground.

The executioner of the execution ground has already prepared a sharp sword.

Some of the prisoners were so frightened that they lost their colors, paralyzed on the ground and lost control of their urine and feces, and the officials dragged them to the execution ground by the rope while cursing. He walked to the court.

The first prisoner was escorted and knelt on the execution ground. The execution officer gave an order, and the executioner raised his knife and dropped it. His head fell to the ground, blood sprayed everywhere, and his lifeless body collapsed to the ground.

Luo Danxia hid behind her brother in fright when the executioner raised the knife, covering her eyes with her hands and not daring to look.

Zhang Yuqing was also held in Wang Chunniang's arms.

He Qi arrived soon.

He Qi's tall stature was very conspicuous among the prisoners. He walked to the execution ground with numb eyes, but did not kneel down.

The boss of the executioner was upset, and kicked him hard on his legs a few times before he knelt down and raised the steel knife in his hand.

Fang Mo had already squeezed to the front, and he subconsciously looked back at Zhang Yuqing.

Zhang Yuqing nodded slowly and forcefully at him.

Fang Mo wiped his face, and before the executioner's steel knife fell, he resolutely shouted: "It's wrong to keep someone under the knife! It's wrong!"
