Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 1537 Lingchi Execution

It took a long time to calm down the little furball, and the light outside the window also turned bright. Bai Ruozhu had no choice but to go into the space and soak in the hot spring for a while to relieve his tiredness. Then he came out of the space to wash up briefly, had a hasty breakfast and left home.

When she left, little Dengdeng was still awake. She kissed her son's forehead gently, and suddenly felt some emotion in her heart.

Fortunately, her son was not born into an imperial family. How pitiful it was for Prince Xiang Xi to be cursed at such a young age. And he doesn't know how many dangers are waiting for him on his way to growth.

Because he left very early, there were not many people on the road. Halfway there, a moon-white figure suddenly appeared and stopped Bai Ruozhu's carriage.

"Girl Ruozhu, I haven't seen you for a few days." Gao Cuan smiled and opened the folding fan and fanned it a few times.

Bai Ruozhu hurriedly got out of the car and saluted him, "Senior, why do you want to see me?"

Gao Juan waved his fan and said with a smile: "There's nothing urgent. I'm just going back to China, so I came to say goodbye to you."

How did you know that I would enter the palace at this time? Bai Ruozhu had already said this, but she couldn't bear to ask. She already regarded the handsome man in front of her as a friend. Asking like this seemed like she didn't believe him.

Gao Juan seemed to have guessed her thoughts, and said a little embarrassedly: "This is the road you take when entering and leaving the palace. I was actually waiting for you on the road yesterday. It's a pity that I didn't meet you. I thought I must be early today, otherwise I would really have to leave without saying goodbye."

"Ah, senior, why didn't you send someone to send a message to my house? How come you have been looking for me for two days?" Bai Ruozhu said with some embarrassment.

Gao Juan waved his hands indifferently, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I won't come to Danliang in the future. Maybe we can meet again in a few months. Then you have to treat me to a drink."

"Okay, I won't come back until I'm drunk!" Bai Ruozhu said, feeling a little reluctant. Gao Juan was like her relative and elder, but could he be from Jiuli?

Thinking of this, Bai Ruozhu plucked up the courage to ask, "Uncle, are you not from Chengshui Country?"

Gao Juan's face changed slightly, "Why do you say that? I don't look like a water bearer?"

Bai Ruozhu has come into contact with several Shuishui people, and the one who left the deepest impression was naturally the abnormal Zhou Jue, but Zhou Jue was obviously not the normal one.

"No, no, do you know anyone from Jiuli?" Speaking of the word "Jiuli", Bai Ruozhu's voice suddenly dropped a lot.

Gao Juan stared at Bai Ruozhu in surprise. In his eyes, he didn't know whether he was surprised when Bai Ruozhu mentioned "Jiuli", or whether he was surprised because Bai Ruozhu guessed the situation?

"Why did you mention Jiuli? Who told you?" Gao Juan's expression was a little serious, without the carefree look before.

Bai Ruozhu didn't expect his reaction to be so big, and said hurriedly: "I just heard others mention it when I was out doing errands, and thought that my uncle had extraordinary skills, so I had some guesses."

"I'm not from Jiuli. The Jiuli people hate others pretending to be one of their tribesmen. I don't dare to agree to it, and don't mention it casually." Gao Zhan said seriously.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "Okay, I understand."

After all, she still didn't figure out where he was from. Was he really not from Jiuli?

"Okay, go and do your work. I'm leaving. Let's get together again when we have the chance!" Gao Chan returned to his chic look, waved his sleeves and strode away.

His figure was getting further and further away, and he suddenly hummed a tune in his mouth, "My friend, you are going away today, so drink this glass of wine. Forget about the sorrow of traveling alone in the world, and be drunk until the end of the world..."

Bai Ruozhu was shocked and froze on the spot. Gao Juan, Gao Juan turned out to be...

When she looked at the distance, she could see Gao Quan's figure. He and she were "fellow townsfolk". Is it because he felt friendly and familiar to her?

Does Gao Zhan know that she came from time travel? Is it because you know that you want to be friends with her?

That song was originally very heroic, but Gao Chan hummed it lazily. If Bai Ruozhu hadn't had an extraordinary ear, he wouldn't have listened to it at all.

Gao Zhan didn't mean for her to hear it, right? Is he just used to it and hums it casually?

She didn't know where to look for Gao Chan, and stood there stunned for a long time. It was only after Jian Qi reminded her that she came back to her senses.

Speaking of which, Gao Juan is already the second "fellow countryman" she has met, and there is another Tang Feng who doesn't know what is going on now.

Tang Feng was sent out to inspect Jiangnan's taxes a month ago, and he didn't know when he would be back.

Bai Ruozhu retracted his thoughts, got back into the carriage, and headed towards the palace.

Along the way, Bai Ruozhu felt that the surroundings were enveloped by low air pressure. She saw a familiar little eunuch with her sharp eyes, and she hurriedly asked in a low voice.

"Master Bai, stop asking. The emperor has decreed that the spies will be killed at noon today. He has sentenced the bandit leader Xu Meiren to be executed in public. He also ordered us slaves to go and watch the execution. The slaves' calves are weak even now. "The little eunuch complained with a grimace.

"Execution by Lingchi?" Bai Ruozhu couldn't help shouting.

"Hey, Mr. Bai, please don't go and see it, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night." After saying this, the little eunuch saluted Bai Ruozhu and left in a hurry.

In ancient times, the saying of "Lingchi execution" was not just a rhetoric, it was a real punishment of being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.

It is said that there will be an executioner who is proficient in bayonets and will cut off the prisoner's flesh with one knife, making the prisoner miserable but unable to die for a while. Even if he dies, he will not be given a happy death. It is extremely cruel.

"How much does the emperor hate Beauty Xu? He wants to cut her into pieces." Bai Ruozhu murmured in her mouth, thinking of Beauty Xu who was as beautiful as a flower and a shy woman with a shy smile, and her heart felt a little clenched and painful. .

She prides herself on not being a holy mother, and she has no habit of sympathizing with others, but this incident really made her feel very bad. She couldn't explain why, let alone prove that Xu Meiren was innocent. It's very difficult.

Before she arrived at Cining Palace, Jiang Yichun appeared on the way and took her hand.

"You stay in Cining Palace today and don't go to the execution ground." His tone was a little urgent and a little domineering. He didn't know that she was not a boudoir girl who was frightened by the sight of blood, but she couldn't rest assured in her heart. She always felt that She said that she felt a knot in her heart when she asked about Xu Meiren.

"Why should she be executed in cold weather? Can't she ask the emperor to give her a clean cut?" Bai Ruozhu suddenly raised her head and asked, and Jiang Yichun found that her cheeks were covered with tears.

He reached out to wipe her, and Bai Ruozhu felt that she was crying. She sniffed, reached out to wipe her, and muttered: "I have been in contact with Xu Meiren, and I never thought she would be like this. Although I There is no evidence and nothing can be changed, but can’t we not let Ling Chi be executed?”

Jiang Yichun sighed, "The emperor wants to kill chickens to scare monkeys. Those people are too arrogant now, directly murdering the emperor and even harming the emperor's heirs. If we treat those who murder Dengdeng, will we tolerate it?"

——

Everyone guesses whether it was Xu Meiren who did it?
