"Well, go and see."
Bai Wenjing sighed, "it's still a little girl after all. We must be frightened by such a thing. Let's go and have a look, otherwise my sister-in-law should worry."
The two men came to the front hall and went to the prison under the leadership of the Yamen.
The prison is as dark and humid as it is written on TV and novels. Even the air is mixed with an indescribable flavor of Mobil.
Seeing them go in, many people who were locked up stood up.
Some people looked at them fiercely, some shouted for injustice, and some shouted to give him something to eat.
Bai Wenjing couldn't help but say, "what people are locked up here?"
The Yamen servant whispered as he walked: "there are green bandits locked inside, some sneaking around in the town on weekdays, and some murderers and arsonists. Many have gone. Look over there. That guy killed all five of his family and is ready to be beheaded in the autumn."
Bai Wen listened to this and said, "are there five people in his family?"
The Yamen serviceman sighed and nodded: "even his family, Lao Tzu is normal. I don't know how. One night, he picked up a kitchen knife and cut off the heads of those who are getting old and young at home."
When Xue Changan heard this, he reached out and covered her ears. At the same time, he said to the Yamen: "my lady is timid and can't hear this."
The Yamen servant smiled and said, "I'm really sorry."
Then he said, "you two, the people you want to see are here. Grandpa has just explained that you two can stay as long as you want. However, the prison is full of yin and your wife is still pregnant. It's better not to stay too long."
"Thanks for reminding."
After Bai Wenjing thanked, Xue Chang'an took one or two pieces of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the Yamen. The Yamen said thanks and left.
They slowly approached the cell and saw a small man curled up in the cell.
"Zhaowa?"
Bai Wenjing whispered a sentence. The people in the cell stood up at once, then jumped to the door and cried at the moment of seeing her.
"Three uncles, three aunts..."
Just called them two times, zhaowa couldn't speak any more, and once burst into tears.
"Zhaowa, don't be afraid. The third uncle and the third aunt are here. We just talked to the county master. He also believes that you have been wronged."
After Bai Wenjing's words, zhaowa continued to cry: "he won't believe it. He will only think that I killed people, because the fangs think I killed people. Most importantly, I also think there is a problem with the food I served at night."
Bai Wenjing hears this and looks at Xue Changan.
If this is the case, it will be a big trouble. If we don't find out the real culprit behind the scenes, there will be one kind of problem.
At the moment, Bai Wenjing said, "zhaowa, don't be afraid. Since it's really not what you did, or even someone borrowed your hand and used you to do bad things, it has nothing to do with you. Tell me what happened that day again."
Zhaowa nodded and then said, "it's like this. My mother-in-law scolded me about the dyeing workshop that day, because I was accompanying my mother-in-law to see what she was doing at that time, but I still didn't understand some things. My mother-in-law was eager for success and couldn't bear to scold me for a moment. I thought I was sorry, so I stewed bird's nest soup and sent it to my mother-in-law."
Xue Chang'an asked, "didn't you say it was tea?"
Hearing this, zhaowa was stunned: "fengcha? It's not fengcha. She cooked some dessert. If her mother-in-law drinks tea at night, she will not sleep well, so I stewed bird's nest soup."
Bai Wenjing also found this clue: "since it is so, who confused the audition and simply said it as fengcha? What do we don't know?"
Xue Chang'an also fell into a deep thought: "it's really uncertain. Either someone knows that the tea is poisonous, or Mrs. Fang drank the poisonous tea and ate the bird's nest before zhaowa sent the dessert, and she died when she sent the dessert in the morning and evening. Zhaowa naturally took the black pot."
Bai Wenjing said, "what's the poison in Mrs. Fang? In that case, check all the tableware and food Mrs. Fang drank that day. Won't the truth be revealed?"
Xue Chang'an glanced at Bai Wenjing and said nothing, but comforted zhaowa: "don't worry, since you didn't do it, we will give you justice. By the way, the county master also said that he will send you home tomorrow."
"Will you take me home tomorrow? Is it back to Buffalo Bay?"
Hearing this, Bai Wenjing and Xue Changan looked at each other again.
It turned out that even though the little girl had been here for a year, she still thought about buffalo Bay, even if there were too many unbearable memories for her.
"No, it's going back to Fang's house. It's your house. From the moment you're afraid to go in, it belongs to you."
Xue Changan said this, and zhaowa's eyes immediately darkened.
"Why did Mrs. Fang treat you badly?"
Bai Wenjing is worried about this problem now.
"No, Mrs. Fang treats me very well. She not only teaches me a lot of things, but also treats me as her own daughter."
Zhaowa still lowered her head and seemed to be thinking about something.
"That's why your little Xianggong is not good to you?"
Bai Wenjing asked again. In fact, she had entered Fang's house before, but he had never seen the little childe.
"The young master treats me very well, but he's not in good health. He's thin and small and bedridden all year round. I just don't want to go back to that sad place. Madam Feng and the young master treat me so well, but they... If they can exchange my life for their safety, I would like to."
Zhaowa said this and closed her eyes, tears dripping slowly.
At this time, Bai Wenjing found that zhaowa was not afraid to be locked up here, but sad that her beloved left.
"You must cheer up. You must know that once Mrs. Fang falls down, the whole Fang family will be finished. If you can't make it, what should you do? He is Mrs. Feng's only blood."
After Bai Wenjing's words, zhaowa murmured, "young master... Yes, and young master, I can't just fall down like this. Thank you, aunt. I'll take good care of the young master when I go back tomorrow, and I won't let him make any mistakes."
"That's right. It's just a routine. I'll lock you up until tomorrow. I'll send you a quilt later so that you can sleep more firmly here."
She had just seen that the whole prison had nothing but some dry straw and slate beds. If you can't sleep well in such a cold day, you will get sick.
"Thank you, auntie, and uncle. Please tell me you're okay. Zhaowa is no longer the zhaowa she used to be."
