Chapter 10 Xiaolongbao returns to the capital
Of course, a person like Ji Zhong would not feel guilty for beating his child severely. Even if this was not the case, he would hit or scold Long Baoer when he saw him.
What made him regretful and angry was that he had offended General Xue and failed to embrace this thigh.
"Bitch, bitch! Why don't you die on your own!" Ji Zhong roared in court again.
This Ji Zhong usually pretends to be gentle and gentle, but now that his interests have been touched, his true colors are completely exposed.
"Bold! Presumptuous! How can I allow you to roar in court again and again! Come here, take me out and beat you!" Mr. Xie was stunned.
Seeing that Ji Zhong was about to be pulled out by the yamen, Mr. Zhuang suddenly laughed loudly next to him, "Hahahahahaha, you bitch man and woman!"
Ji Zhong stopped suddenly and stared at Mr. Zhuang with his eyes.
After many years of marriage, Mr. Zhuang had not given birth to a son or a daughter. When he met Xue Yuhe, he was attracted by her gentleness and delicacy, and he was overjoyed that she soon became pregnant. At that time, he really wanted to divorce Mr. Zhuang and help Xue Yuhe.
But all this was ruined by his own hands. Not only did Xue Yuhe die, but his only child became a disaster star.
If it weren't for her, Xue Yuhe would be his wife now, and they might already have two or three children by their side. The most important thing is that I can hug General Xue's thick legs. From then on, I will rise to the top, and maybe I can join the cabinet and worship the prime minister...
The more he thought like this, the angrier Ji Zhong became, and he completely lost his mind.
After breaking free, the officer grabbed Zhuang's neck and beat him hard on the back with one hand. Within a few moments, blood spurted out of Zhuang's mouth and nose.
Ji Zhong was still scolding fiercely, "You vicious woman, an old hen that can't lay eggs!"
Several government officials rushed over and pushed Ji Zhong down.
"Am I an old hen that can't lay eggs?" Mr. Zhuang laughed with blood in his mouth.
And the more he laughs, the louder his voice becomes, and the more he laughs, the crazier his expression becomes, and he looks crazy.
After laughing for a long time, Mr. Zhuang suddenly stopped laughing, stared straight at Ji Zhong, and said word by word:
"You probably don't know, right? I've asked the doctor to show you a long time ago. It's you who can't give birth to a child! You will never have a wife in your life! Hahahahaha..."
Ji Zhong was stunned by Zhuang's words, and then became angry, "Nonsense! Long Baoer is my and Yuhe's child. When she and I entered the bridal chamber, she clearly..."
The words in Ji Zhong's mouth were cut off by General Xue's slap, "If you dare to talk about my dead sister again, don't blame me for being rude! Prefect Xie, didn't you say you will be tortured?"
Magistrate Xie quickly cast a red lottery ticket and said, "Drag the prisoner Ji Zhong down and beat him ten times!"
A moment later, Ji Zhong's screams and begging for mercy were heard outside the lobby.
But no one in the lobby sympathized with him.
By this time, the case had come to light.
As an official of the imperial court, Ji Zhong knew the law and violated the law, abducted good families, raped women, and even beat and abused young children. Putting aside for the moment, Magistrate Xie has been searching for evidence these days and has also discovered that Ji Zhong secretly occupied people's farmland and colluded with mountain bandits and other major crimes.
Several crimes are punished at the same time, and it is impossible to escape the death penalty. Xie Zhifu submitted a memorial, and people from the Ministry of Punishment reviewed it. If there were no problems, the original verdict was basically upheld and awaited execution in the autumn.
As for Mr. Zhuang, no matter whether she is really crazy or pretending to be crazy, it is a capital crime to help others commit evil and kill people with poison. What's more, her dowry knew that Aunt Liu framed Long Baoer, how could she not know?
It's nothing more than evil thoughts and adding fuel to the flames. Waiting to ask Ji Zhan together.
The other servants who participated were either beaten or exiled, and those who had nothing to do with it were let go home.
Now that everything is over, General Xue and his son are preparing to take Long Baoer back to the capital.
The Chinese New Year will be in two months, and the little girl is weak, so she needs to go home quickly to take good care of herself.
Although Mrs. Xie was reluctant to part with it, she could only endure it. She stayed up all night and made a lot of new clothes for the little girl, so that the child could change into them on the way.
This time when he went back, General Xue wanted to bring back the remains of his dead sister. However, it was freezing cold these days, so I discussed with Magistrate Xie to come back next year.
Before leaving, Magistrate Xie prepared a large and spacious carriage. Mrs. Xie personally arranged the interior. The sleeping area was cushioned with thick bedding, and there was a small table for snacks. The drawers were filled with large and small packages of snacks, candies, dried fruits, etc.
The sleeping area is empty underneath and can be stuffed with a charcoal brazier. It's freezing cold and the journey will last for who knows how many days. Don't let the kids freeze.
On the day before she left, Mrs. Xie couldn't stop crying. She hugged the little girl and kissed her again and again. It was difficult for General Xue to urge her, so he had to ask Xue Lei to urge her. After urging Mrs. Xie several times, she wiped her tears and let her go.
"Long Bao'er, when you get to the capital, remember to ask your uncle to send us a message." Mrs. Xie put the little girl on the ground, "I won't go out."
Xue Lei nodded, knowing that if Mrs. Xie went out, it would be delayed again.
He wrapped Long Baoer tightly in a cotton cloak and hugged him, "Thank you, sir, aunt, we are leaving now!"
"Auntie, Long Bao'er will miss you." The little girl struggled to stretch out a small hand and waved towards Mrs. Xie.
"Yeah!" Mrs. Xie's tears immediately fell.
Mr. Xie sent the group of people to the road. After watching everyone get on the car and leave, he turned around and saw his wife behind him.
"Go back, the little girl is lucky."
"Yeah. Tell me, why don't I have a daughter?"
"It's possible."
General Xue came out this time with all the cavalry. When he came, he could ride the horse at a gallop, but now he couldn't. Everyone followed the carriage obediently.
In the carriage, Long Baoer was wrapped tightly by his brother Xue Lei.
"Long Bao'er, are you cold?"
"It's not cold!" Long Baoer said loudly.
The little girl sat cross-legged. The mattress under her buttocks was sewn by Mrs. Xie herself. It was thick, soft and warm, because there was a charcoal brazier under the seat, which was heated from outside the carriage.
The cloak on his body had been taken off when he entered the carriage, and there was also a thick cotton coat underneath. He put a small quilt on his legs. In this ice and snow, it seemed like a warm little world.
"That's good. Do you want some water? Or some snacks?" Xue Lei opened the small drawer, "Auntie Xie has prepared a lot of delicious food for you."
"I won't eat it, but my brother will."
Xue Lei immediately became happy, "Brother won't eat it either, I'll keep it for Long Bao'er."
"Brother, are we going back to the capital?"
"Yes."
"Then, what is the capital like?"
"The capital is very far away, but it's very big there. Our family is also very big. Then you can meet my mother, your aunt, and your other brothers!" Xue Lei thought about the family at home. The mother and several younger brothers also smiled.
"There are still a lot of delicious things in the capital. When the Chinese New Year comes, we will make a lot of delicious things. Can my brother take you to eat candied Luhahu?"
The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard it, especially when she heard about the candied haws of sugar. She was probably overly excited, and she opened her mouth to say yes, but her saliva flowed out first.
Xue Lei was stunned for a moment and quickly wiped Long Baoer's mouth with a handkerchief, laughing while wiping it back.
Although Long Baoer was young, he was still shy. He covered his eyes with his little hands and shook his head in shame, "Brother, don't laugh, don't laugh."
