"Rou Niang, the people sent to Lucheng by Fourth Master have returned!" Xinmei looked at Rou Niang in front of her and said.

"Empress, there, there, Brother Yun..." Rou Niang took a step forward eagerly, her voice trembling and almost silent.

Xinmei looked sad, "It's a pity that there is no survivor in Yunjia Village, except for you. The people sent by Fourth Master to Yunjia Village are already covered with weeds. I'm afraid your husband will also suffer."

As soon as her body swayed, Rou Niang fell backwards. Fortunately, Xinmei had taken precautions. Chunhong stood on Rou Niang's side. Seeing Rou Niang was about to fall, she quickly reached out her hand and hugged Rou Niang tightly.

"Quick, help me to the side and sit down!" Xinmei quickly ordered.

Chunhong pinched Renzhong again and poured tea. After a while, Rou Niang woke up faintly, opened her eyes, turned slowly, looked at the people in the room, and slowly started to cry.

flow out.

Instead of crying loudly and hoarsely, Rou Niang just stared at a certain place with her eyes blankly, tears silently sliding down her cheeks. But it made people even more pitiful to watch.

Xinmei looked at Rou Niang's look and couldn't help but feel sad along with her. "Rou Niang, the deceased is already dead, you'd better express your condolences and take the opportunity to do so. The Fourth Master has already captured all the gangsters who kidnapped you, which can be regarded as revenge for you.

.”

Rou Niang stood up straight, knelt down towards Xinmei, and kowtowed several times vigorously, "Thank you, Madam, thank you so much, Fourth Master. I dare not say thank you for your kindness. Rou Niang is here to kowtow to you and Fourth Master on behalf of your deceased relatives."

.”

Xinmei felt apologetic in her heart. Although this was a good intention, it must still be a lie. The fourth master only caught a few people who escorted Rou Niang to Beijing. The real gangsters could not be caught, but others could not be caught.

.

"Hurry up. It's God's will that you happen to meet us outside the city. We will naturally help you."

Look, it’s all purple.”

"Young Niang cannot repay the deep kindness of the Fourth Master and the Empress, so she can only kowtow harder. When I return to Yunjia Village, I will set up longevity tablets for the Fourth Master and the Empress, burn incense every day, and pray that the Fourth Master and the Empress will have a safe life.

May you live a hundred years," Rou Niang said.

Xinmei was shocked, "You want to leave?"

Rou Niang nodded, "My mother and Fourth Master have avenged my great revenge. I have to go back to Yunjia Village to guard the tombs of my parents and Brother Yun, and talk to them every day."

"You can't leave!" Xinmei blurted out.

Rou Niang raised her eyes to look at Xinmei, her eyes full of surprise.

Xinmei looked at Rou Niang, hesitated for a long time, and said: "Rou Niang, your matter is related to a very important person. This person, even the fourth master, cannot be easily provoked, so you can't leave, not even

Take a step outside the palace, otherwise, you will be killed."

Rou Niang lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said, "My dear, is this the great prince?"

"You, how do you know?" Xinmei was greatly surprised.

"When I was outside the city, I heard the Fourth Master saying that the person who escorted me all the way was a disciple of the Grand Prince. Madam, I think the Grand Prince is a member of the Emperor's noble family, and he must not know about this matter.

What's more, why would the great prince embarrass a little person like me?" Rou Niang said.

Xinmei shook her head, "Rou Niang, I might as well tell you that this incident is actually very involved. Compared with the murder of more than a hundred people in Yunjia Village, that incident is even more horrifying. If it is involved, I don't know how many people will be killed.

To land, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are tens of thousands, and you are the key witness in this matter, think about it, will they let you go?"

Rou Niang looked at Xinmei in shock.

"Your Majesty has already made a decision. All the people involved in this case will not survive. Madam Rou, do you know how much risk the Fourth Master took to save you? Not only can you not leave the house, you also have to change your name.

From now on, the words Qin Rouniang will never appear."

"How could this happen?" Rou Niang murmured.

"If you leave the house and fall into the hands of those people, not only will you not survive, but you will also have to implicate the Fourth Master. In fact, when the Fourth Master refused to hand you over, you were already at risk. You will not let it go.

The risks that Fourth Master took for you have gone down the drain, and you might even implicate Fourth Master for this!" Xinmei said.

"Then, can I never go back to Yunjia Village again? Can I never burn a stick of incense in front of the graves of my parents, mother-in-law, and brother Yun, and build and weed their graves?" said Rou Niang.

.

Looking at Rou Niang's eyes, Xinmei was shocked again. With Rou Niang's words and eyes, could it be that she had a death wish?

"Rou Niang, listen to me, it's not impossible, but you have to wait until one day, the day when Fourth Master can keep his word. At that time, no one can stop you from doing anything. You can

Do what you want to do. You know what I mean?”

Rou Niang is also a person who has read books. She has heard her father tell many historical facts. When she heard Xinmei's words, she already understood the meaning, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

"wait?"

"Yes, wait, Rou Niang, you have to live well and wait for this opportunity, otherwise, your parents, relatives, and your Brother Yun's grave will really have no one to burn incense, burn paper, hoe the grass and cultivate the soil."

Rou Niang knelt down in front of Xinmei again, "Thank you so much for taking me in. I am willing to wait until the day I can return to Yunjia Village."

The prison of the Ministry of Punishment was gloomy and never saw the light of day. Burning torches illuminated the figures, like ghosts. From time to time, the sound of prisoners crying and howling could be heard. After Suo Wenhai was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, he was thrown into a separate prison.

For several days, no one came to pay attention to him. He seemed to have been forgotten.

Lying on the thatch in the cell, Suo Wenhai had endless hatred in his heart. He hated the eldest prince. He worked hard for him and suffered so much for him, but he still killed his family in the end.

He still wants to silence himself. He hates the fourth prince, hates him for crossing the river and burning the bridge, and ruthlessly abandoning him. He hates Rou Niang, this woman, who brought him from a comfortable life to the endless suffering now.

He hated the jailer here and hated the world. His heart could not hold anything else except hatred.

My legs are already in great condition. The doctor in the other hospital has very good medical skills and has done a good job in grafting the bones. Although I can't walk yet, I think I will be fine in a while. However, I can still live.

At that time?

Suo Wenhai hasn't eaten for several days, and no one has brought him food. If the prison hadn't been so gloomy and some water droplets seeped out of the walls, he wouldn't have been able to survive this time.

He was extremely weak.

"I want to live!" he shouted in his heart.

There was a rustling sound in the thatch. He opened his dull eyes and looked beside him. A mouse was looking at him furtively, but it was not afraid at all. It seemed to be waiting for him to die so that he could have a good meal.

The corpse of this rat was so fat that it was unknown how many human flesh it had eaten.

"I want to live." Suo Wenhai gritted his teeth and said every word. Looking at the rat, not knowing where the strength came from, he suddenly reached out and caught the rat in his hand.

The mouse squeaked, its head shook, and its legs kicked, trying to escape from his grasp. Suo Wenhai shouted frantically: "I want to live." He grabbed the mouse with both hands, brought it to his mouth, and opened his eyes.

He closed his mouth, opened his teeth and bit down hard.

With a squeak, the rat stopped moving. Suo Wenhai gnawed at the rat's flesh and blood like crazy, until his mouth was filled with blood. He even ate all the rat's fur.

There was no daylight in the prison, and no one knew how much time had passed, but Suo Wenhai survived tenaciously. It was not that rats came every day in the prison, and he could not catch them when they came, but he still survived.

Come down.

There was a creaking sound from the prison door. The door was opened and two jailers walked in.

"Boss, why is it always the two of us who have to do the job of carrying the dead? It's so annoying!" said a voice.

"Say less, we two have nothing to rely on. If we don't do this work, who will do it?"

"Who did the guys here offend? The warden gave special instructions. It's been a month and the bodies are probably smelly!"

"Whoever he is, why do we care so much? Carry him out and throw him into a mass grave, and that's it."

Two jailors walked in, bent down, and were about to lift Suo Wenhai. This man had been in prison for almost a month, and he had not been given a drop of water or a meal. He was already dead.

As soon as the two of them reached out their hands, Suo Wenhai's eyes suddenly opened and he sat up.

The two jailers were so frightened that they sat down on the ground, unable to move for a moment.

"You, you are a human or a ghost. You must be a ghost. Don't scare us. We are also on errands under orders. If you want to find someone to kill you, go find the person who harmed you." A jailer stammered.

"I'm still alive, I'm not dead yet!" Suo Wenhai said gloomily.

The two jailers swallowed hard. How did this person survive without eating or drinking for a month? The two stood up. Since they were not dead, they had to go back and recover quickly.

"Stop!" Suo Wenhai said.

The two of them turned around in excitement.

"Listening to what you two are talking about, it sounds like you are being bullied in this prison?" Suo Wenhai said.

The two stared at him without saying a word.

"Aren't you here to carry me out? Well, if you carry me out now, I will give you a sum of money so that you don't have to work here anymore. You can live a good life like a rich man."

Wen Haidao.

"Stop lying to people. How much money can you get from looking like this?" said a jailer.

Suo Wenhai smiled and said, "If you knew what I did before, you wouldn't think so. How about you, are you willing to make a bet and carry me out? I will give you a lot of money that you can't use up in your lifetime."

Money, of course, if I deceive you, you can chop me up with a knife and throw me on the mass grave. Can I be a match for you two in my current state?"

The two jailers looked at each other and were both greatly moved.

"Boss?" The younger one fell in love with another person.
