"What do you have to say about the forbidden area?" Mr. Beigong looked seriously at his 'filial' son in front of him.
The second master of Beigong was shocked. Could it be that the thing that lured the wolf into the mountain was exposed? He took a deep breath. No matter what, he definitely couldn't admit this: "Father, my son doesn't know what you are talking about..."
"Hey." Old Master Beigong sighed, "The clan elders in Ding'an County sent a letter saying that the ancestral tombs and ancestral halls on Yuanshan Mountain should be renovated. You can go back with your second wife to do this.
After the ancestral hall is repaired, you can live there and serve your ancestors every day. You are not allowed to return to Yunling City at will."
The second master of Beigong knelt on the ground with a bang: "Father, my son is willing to return to his hometown to repair the ancestral hall and ancestral graves, but his home is here, how can you not let me come back.
Father, you can't be so cruel to your son..."
"I'm cruel?" Old Master Beigong said coldly, "You bastard who killed his father and his nephew, how can you say that I'm cruel?
I have said that the head of my Beigong family should be a capable person. The 'ability' I say means doing things with true ability, not doing some heretical things all day long."
"My son is wronged!" Beigong's second master, a grown-up man, cried so hard that his eyes and nose ran with tears, but Beigong's old master remained unmoved.
Seeing that his father had no intention of relenting, Mr. Beigong decided to blame all the blame on Mrs. Bei Gong: "Father, please calm down... My son really doesn't know what is going on. I'm afraid
It's Chen's bitch who is behind this! My son should go find out the truth now and give his father an explanation!"
"Nangfang." The old man rubbed his forehead. This was his Bei Gongqi's son. He pushed the woman on when something happened. He was really responsible.
"Master." Nanfang came in from outside.
"Take him to the water prison to read his confession." Old Beigong waved his hand, signaling for them to leave.
Nanfang was not polite and directly took the second master Bei Gong by his collar and walked over the walls to the 'Water Prison'.
There are many people imprisoned in Beigong's water prison.
Those who trespass into forbidden areas, and those who are discovered by spies sent from all over the place, will be locked up here. This water prison goes from shallow to deep, and ordinary prisoners are locked in the outermost layer. The water only reaches the knees, and the water in the middle layer reaches the waist. In the last layer, the water reaches the waist.
On the inner floor, there is a cell where felons are held. The water can reach up to the chest. If you are short, you may only be able to expose your head.
Mr. Bei Gong had never been to the water prison before. As soon as he entered, the rotten and moldy smell hit his face and almost made him vomit out his breakfast.
The further I walked in, I felt frightened when I saw the prisoners soaking in the water - those people were obviously still alive, but lifeless, soaking in the water numbly, as if they were dead floating corpses...
When we arrived at the deepest part of the water prison, the light was already very dark. Mr. Beigong's eyes gradually adapted to the dimness, and then he saw clearly that the two people soaking in the water were the same people who were sent to deal with Wolf Fern Flower last night, and the ones who were sent to Chu Yun before.
Lingcheng's men.
Both of them were of medium build. In the deepest part of the water prison, the water did not even reach their chins. They had to hold on to the iron chains locked on their bodies to completely surface their heads. When they saw their master, the two of them were astonished.
Finally, there was a glimmer of light in the eyes of a pool of stagnant water.
They stretched out their hands to the second master of Bei Gong. There were staggered whip marks on his arms. Due to being soaked in water for a long time, the wounds had been swollen and turned white: "Master... please master... let the little one die happily."
…”
They knew that they would die if they were caught after doing something like that, and now they just wanted to die quickly.
The second master of Bei Gong took a few steps back, and something ran across his instep. The second master of Bei Gong lowered his head and looked at his feet, and found that there were groups of black shadows in the narrow aisle, all of which were smaller than cats.
Not many big rats.
A cold air rose from the soles of his feet and spread to all his limbs in an instant. At this time, he wished he was being carried from the south and not letting his feet touch the ground, so that no mice would step on his feet.
"Second Master, shall I torture you through the interrogation, or shall I directly show you the signature and the signature?" Nanfang asked in a serious manner.
"No need." Mr. Beigong didn't want to stay in this hellish place for a moment longer, "I want to leave here."
Nanfang did not embarrass him and made a 'please' gesture to him.
The second master of Beigong walked faster and faster. If he didn't want to maintain the last bit of dignity in front of the south, he would have just run away. Those rats running all over the ground were really disgusting.
The second master of Beigong walked out of the water prison, his face was pale. He returned to Fuxi Courtyard, but the second wife of Beigong had not come back yet. He asked his attendants to inform the concubines and children in each room, saying that he would take them back to Ding'an to worship their ancestors as soon as possible.
Pack your luggage and set off in two days.
The concubines were all confused. They couldn't even enter the gate of the ancestral hall. What could they do if they were asked to worship their ancestors?
On the other hand, the concubine children were very happy. Their father was willing to take them back to their hometown to worship their ancestors, which showed that he valued them and ordered his servants to pack their luggage in a hurry.
When Mrs. Beigong returned to Fuxi Courtyard, she saw that everyone was busy, as if something big had happened.
She walked into the bedroom and saw the servant packing the antique ornaments in the room: "Master, what are you doing?"
In front of the second wife of Beigong, the second master of Beigong no longer concealed anything: "When the Dongchuang Incident happened, my father expelled our second wife from Yunling City and sent us back to Ding'an County!"
Mrs. Beigong almost fell down, but fortunately her maid helped her: "Madam, please be more careful."
The second wife of Bei Gong pushed Xiao Tao's hand away and stumbled to the second master of Bei Gong: "How did father find out?"
"You ask me, who am I going to ask?" Mr. Beigong was so frightened just now that he has fully accepted to go back to his hometown in the countryside. Although the countryside is not as good as Yunling City, it is still better than the water prison!
Mrs. Beigong felt that it didn't matter where she went, but what should she do with Shishi? Shishi was already sixteen, but her marriage had not been settled yet. If she followed them back to Ding'an, it would be difficult to marry back to Yunling.
City.
"Master, I want to take Shishi with me and stay in the mansion for a while." Being used to the prosperity of Yunling City, the second lady of Beigong herself did not want to go back to the countryside. "Shishi is not young anymore. If she goes back
Ding'an, it's just a matter of delaying the kiss."
"Tell your father yourself." Mr. Beigong just wanted to leave quickly now, but he was afraid that if he walked too slowly, his father would be angry and throw him into a water prison.
When he closed his eyes now, he saw the hopeless faces of the prisoners and the rats scurrying all over the floor.
"I...hey..." Mrs. Beigong realized that her husband was of no use at the critical moment.
I had no choice but to deliberately rub my red eyes and go to the old lady to cry.
