Working part-time as a wife is too busy

Chapter 8
Three months later, the imperial capital of the Great Qin Kingdom is getting more and more oppressive, uneasy and fearful day by day, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, especially young women, who seldom go out, just in their own boudoir. Some of them trembled.

"Miss, do you have to go back to Rong's house?" The day after Zhang Xiao led people to search the General's Mansion three months ago, Gu Xiaoya took Xuemei to the deserted Xiaozhuangzi on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

This deserted little village at the foot of the deep mountain and dense forest is Gu Xiaoya's mother's dowry village, and there is no one to take care of it. When Gu Xiaoya brought Xuemei in, the weeds were taller than people.

"Back!"

"Miss, are you going back for those members of the Rong family?" Xuemei looked at the leisurely woman sitting in the simple living room with some doubts.

Yesterday, the second housekeeper of the Rong's mansion came to invite him on horseback. He said that the masters of the Rong family were going back to the imperial capital for the New Year. Mr. Rong specially asked Gu Xiaoya, the head of the house, to take care of all the affairs of the mansion.

Gu Xiaoya smiled coldly, of course not!She ran to this little Zhuangzi where no one was paying attention, just to recover her body and train Xuemei along the way.

As for her going back now, it is because of the serial killer who has made people panic in the imperial capital for the past three months, a serial killer who is said to have excellent light skills, is mysterious, cruel and vicious, but in her opinion is a completely perverted murderer.

Snow Lost City, in the vast white world, two small dots, one black and one green, are slowly approaching the gate of the northern city of the imperial capital. The city gate guards who are shaking and squinting in the snow are looking at these two dots I got a little nervous when I got closer.

When the guard saw clearly that the two black dots and one green dot were just two weak women, they were inexplicably relieved, because these emperors were too restless before the New Year's Eve.

"The city is not peaceful, go home quickly!" The guard reminded kindly after checking the guides of the two women.

However, he was not worried that Nianhua Xiaoxiao would fall in love with these two women, one was ugly and frightening, the other face was hidden in a tight black cloak, she was not a beauty after all, all the beauties in the imperial capital were trembling now He hid in his boudoir and dared not go out.

Bitter wind mixed with icy snow ruthlessly invaded the limbs and bones of a person. After three months of hellish training, Xuemei, who had died countless times and was rescued by Gu Xiaoya, just raised her head a little uncomfortable. He glanced patiently at the quiet shops and houses on both sides of the streets in the city.

In previous years, as soon as the twelfth lunar month entered, the imperial capital would be so lively that they could step on the Qingshiban road to dig deep pits, but now it is still quiet on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and there are very few people on the street.

"Boom boom boom!"

"You're wronged... You're wronged! My son didn't kill anyone, so wronged!"

Gu Xiaoya and Xuemei were halfway walking on the street, when they heard the sound of drumming and shouting for grievances outside the majestic and cold gate of the prison department, upon listening carefully, it should be an elderly woman.

The sky is full of wind and snow, the silent city, and the restless streets of the imperial capital all seem to have a sound instantly because of the sad cries of grievances. look.

"Who, who is calling for injustice?" Obviously no one was seen, but the sound of inquiries could be faintly heard from the house with closed doors and windows in all directions.

As we all know, the criminal and prison department is in charge of large and small lawsuits in the imperial capital. Whether you are an ordinary citizen or a relative of the emperor, you must come to the criminal and prison department to file a lawsuit or defend your injustice.

"What are you shouting for! Get out! Kill someone for your life. Your son has already signed a plea pleaded guilty. Stop shouting like crazy here. I'll annoy you, and I'll put you in jail too! Get out..." From the prison secretary's heavy voice An official came out of the gate angrily, and shouted viciously at the woman who was beating the drum.

"My son didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill someone! I'm wronged, I'm wronged..." Holding a frozen drumstick in her hand, the old woman couldn't stand still, and fell onto the snow-covered stone platform as soon as she was reprimanded by the official, with words in her mouth. Call "wronged" non-stop.

"You old man, you must make me angry!" Seeing that the old woman still refused to leave, and she was crying even louder, the officer was about to kick her weak body, "Hey Yo... Whoops!" At the moment when he lifted his foot, his knee suddenly felt like being hit by a heavy object, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain, and then he rolled around in pain in front of the jailer's door.

"It's right!" someone whispered.

Although some of the onlookers didn't know what happened at this moment, but the prison chief was used to being arrogant on weekdays, and the people in the imperial capital feared and hated them at the same time. Applause, but there is also a happy smile on the face.

"What's going on, what's going on? What are you yelling about!" Soon, two more officials came out from the door of the prison department, and one of them squatted down hurriedly to check on the man who was crying for his mother because of knee pain. official errand.

"It hurts me, it hurts me!"

"Who hit it! Which one is not dead!"

As soon as the officer said these words, the people who watched the excitement in front of the door disappeared in an instant, and even the old woman who complained just now disappeared at some point.

The raging blizzard was getting stronger and stronger. After a few curses, some officials helped the injured officer to go in. Soon the thick snow covered the stone platform where the jailer beat the wrong drum. .

"Grandma, where do you live?" Xuemei helped the old woman who had just beaten the drum to complain, and turned into a small alley not far from the prison department.

Although she regretted meddling in her own business without the consent of Gu Xiaoya, her master, but thinking about Gu Xiaoya's rescue of the old woman just now, her master is also a kind person. The skin is thin, and the hands and feet are probably frozen.

"Girl, thank you for your kindness, but old lady, I can't go home. I want to beat the drums and complain. I want to seek justice for my son. He didn't kill anyone, so he was wronged!" driving, but the old lady still wanted to go back to the prison department to file a complaint.

"Grandma, there are no good people in the Prison Department. It's useless if you go. Even if your son is really wronged, those people will not help you!" Xuemei has stayed in the imperial capital for more than ten years. She knows a lot.

The officials of the Prison Division are all more vicious and difficult to deal with than the little ghosts in the Temple of Yama, and they only recognize money but not people. The ordinary people don't even think about fairness and innocence.
