Although Xu Hao is a guard, he is a lowly official, and the news is closed, so he is obviously anxious and does not dare to inquire about anything in private, the only thing he can do is to run to the side of the officer with the knife from time to time, hoping to hear some useful information.

Although he is very sympathetic to Lan Yu's family, and the most concerned are his relatives, God knows what will happen? What Xu Hao is most worried about is that Lan Yu and his 'comrades' will confess their uncle, and it will be over.

At first, the guards were made to feel sympathy by the crying in the courtyard, after all, they were not very old, but as time passed, they gradually became impatient, and the more they listened to the cry, the more irritated they felt, and from time to time the guards scolded loudly, so that the women inside were not allowed to cry anymore.

The sky gradually darkened, and the weather became colder, and suddenly there was movement inside, and a woman said through the door: "My wife wants to see the lady in charge, please be accommodating." ”

The knife officer thought for a moment, and then instructed Xu Hao: "It's not good for me to come forward, you go and deal with it, try to be respectful and polite on your face, the Duchess of Liangguo is the late Kaiping prince's sister, and she can't be lazy." ”

Xu Hao led the order to the door, he paid attention to all aspects of the blue jade, because he knew that the maiden surname of the Duchess of the Kingdom was Chang, who didn't know that the founding general of the Ming Dynasty Chang Yuchun? I admire it very much.

Mrs. Chang was reduced to a prisoner in this way, and she was either strangled to death by a white silk, or a fate worse than death. This imperial power is really terrible, no matter what your identity is the day before, you may be innocently implicated the next moment.

In addition to being unbearable, Xu Hao also had the sadness of the dead rabbit and the fox, and slowly walked to the courtyard as the guards slowly opened the door.

The children in the courtyard had lost their strength to cry, and at this moment they were snuggling up to each other and sitting on the cold ground, Xu Hao raised his hand to tidy up his clothes under their desperate gaze, and slowly entered the house step by step.

The room was messy everywhere, and Mrs. Chang, who was in the prison cell, barely maintained everyone's demeanor, neatly dressed, sitting on a chair, nodding slightly, and staring directly at the young guard in front of her.

"The wife of the guilty minister did not dare to hope for anything else, but hoped that the adults would behave well, gather some quilts and other things for the family to keep warm, endure this long night, and beg for some rice porridge for the children to eat. Previously, the adults gave charcoal and food with kindness, and the sinners were grateful for this, but the Lan family had no hope and could not repay the adults. ”

The women around him who said these words all sobbed in low voices, and more than a dozen women knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Hao.

Faced with this situation, Xu Hao felt that his throat and eyes were blocked, and he couldn't say a word, nodded slightly, and finally tried to make a sound.

"I know, please wait a moment."

Xu Hao didn't want to stay any longer, and just as he turned around and was about to leave, he heard Mrs. Chang behind him say in a low tone, "My lord, the sinner still has a reluctant request, Lord Wanwang agrees." ”

Xu Hao stopped moving, and suddenly his blood surged, and he said without thinking: "Although you say, I will promise you everything I can do." ”

Mrs. Chang was shocked by the reaction of this strange young guard, and said in disbelief: "If you are not close to you, do you really dare to agree?" Aren't you afraid of being implicated and questioned in the future? ”

Xu Hao said casually: "I'm afraid, so I promise you what I can do, and if there is any trouble, please forgive my wife." ”

"Then why did you say yes so easily?" Mrs. Chang stared at Xu Hao.

Xu Hao understood her woman's hesitation and suspicion in a desperate situation, and she didn't have time to ink, so she said: "I can't hide it, I am a descendant of the Wei family, with grandmothers and elders, brothers and sisters, a harmonious family, a little little bit of food and clothing, I am now a guard with a knife in front of the holy car, I Xu Hao swear by my ancestors, and I don't have any evil thoughts in my heart." Madame, though she entrusts her heart to me, if she does not believe it, then there is nothing to say. ”

Mrs. Chang looked at him in surprise, with a hint of surprise in her expression that could not be concealed, and said, "Thank God, since I am an old man, I am relieved." Let's cut a long story short. Tell you a nephew, and my aunt begs you to find a way to protect my daughter's innocence, if you can't protect it, it's your life. After a while, a few of them will be quietly sent from the sect to the Kaiping Palace, I know that it is impossible to cancel the slavery for a while, and I don't ask for anything else, so that they can live in their mother's house, as a great favor to repay their nephews, you can choose one or two of them as concubines at will, just ask for good treatment of them in the future. ”

Xu Hao didn't look at the few poor girls around him who were hugging their heads and crying, but sighed: "I can still help others, but the young lady of the lady's family can't help it, and the crime of rebellion is inevitable to death." As for this matter, I will keep it in my heart, if there is a blood relative of my wife who escapes the catastrophe, I will never stand by and say goodbye in the future. ”

didn't give Mrs. Chang a chance to continue talking, Xu Hao turned around and walked out, what he said would definitely do his best, Mrs. Chang and the others were dying, there was no need to prove anything.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he was chased by two beauties with skirts, one of whom was beautiful but pale, and the beauty with a hot body whispered eagerly: "My lord, my sisters are just lowly dancers in the house, they should not be executed, and please take them in, and they will do their best to serve the pillow in the future." ”

Another charming beauty said even more explicitly: "As long as the adults take us in, follow the wishes of the adults, let the slave family do whatever it takes, the slave family is good at, her queen-garden flower can be called a must in the capital, my sister has a lot of stunts in the bed, and the adults who are in charge of serving are satisfied." ”

The so-called opportunity is only given to those who dare to fight for it, Xu Hao does not have any intention of despising these two, maybe they are all Lan Yu's favorite playthings, or maybe they don't care about shame in order to survive, so what? Ants are still greedy.

Xu Hao hurriedly said, "Leave your names." ”

The two beauties were overjoyed and hurriedly said: "The slave family is called Chanchan in the house, her name is Juanjuan, and her real name is Wang Chan'er, Li Juan'er." ”

Xu Hao understood as soon as he heard it, all the women with children's characters in the Ming Dynasty were basically from Lehu. Remind the people who are about to cross the tube that in ancient times, especially in the Ming Dynasty, they met what was called Cicada Juan'er, they were not serious girls, and they would be reduced to prostitutes as soon as they were born. Of course, no matter how low our hero is, as long as he has a good character, it's nothing if he dares to marry home, as for the wife, forget it.

Xu Hao didn't plan to rescue everyone from the fire pit, there are many poor people in the world, but if he met by fate, he would naturally not be stingy to help, and nodded lightly at the moment to indicate that he knew.

Under the ardent expectation of the two beauties, Xu Hao strode out of the door.

After coming out, Xu Hao thought that since these two were not finished for a long time, they were not in a hurry, and when they had a suitable opportunity, they spent money to buy them and send them to the Qinhuai River, with their qualifications, it was not difficult to find someone to entrust them for life.

By the way, Xu Hao had an idea in his heart, why don't you train them and then use them as secret spies?

Forget it, it's better not to do this kind of unconscionable thing, it's better to be a human being.

The female relatives in the courtyard trembled and felt that life was like a year, but what about Xu Hao outside the courtyard? The chief of Yuming, the officer with the knife was also reasonable, and ordered the guards to find more than 100 sets of quilts and other things, and sent them in.

Xu Hao cooked rice porridge in a large iron pot with his own hands, and after boiling it, let the women carry it in by themselves, in order to prevent someone from committing suicide with a porcelain bowl, Xu Hao took people to stare closely.

The women silently shared the sticky porridge in an orderly manner, while Mrs. Chang and other hosts had no appetite and sent the tray back intact, and many people couldn't help but guess if this was a zuihou dinner?

At night, the sword officer went out for a trip, and when he came back, he said to Xu Hao: "Lan Yu has already subdued the law, and the saint has decreed to peel the skin and grass, and spread it to all places, and all the three clans will be executed, and the slaves will be sent to the sect to be slaves forever." ”

Xu Hao sighed faintly, glad and a little surprised, he didn't expect Lan Yu to be executed in less than a day, the efficiency was too fast, and in such a little time, presumably the uncle would not be confessed.

All within the three clans will be beheaded, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is outrageous, he basically wants the entire Lan family to be killed, both men and women, how many people have to be killed? Mrs. Chang's wish Zuihou was completely disappointed.

Xu Hao smiled bitterly: "My lord, you won't let us kill people with our own hands, right?" ”

The blazing torches made a sizzling sound from time to time, and under the light of the fire, the face of the officer with the knife was not very good-looking, and he shook his head and said: "No, this is a conviction by the Criminal Department, and the Holy Order has made those black-hearted executioners to do it." ”

Xu Hao couldn't help but say: "With the identity of Mrs. Chang, it's too unseemly, even if you give a cup of poisonous wine." ”

The officer with the knife glanced at him, and said quietly: "You have experienced too little, do you really think that those quilts are used to avoid the cold?" Wait and see, there will be a lot of unjust souls under the beams of that house tonight. ”

Xu Hao was stunned and looked at the dark courtyard wall, his heart immediately became cold, and he was terrified.
