Humans are animals born with the desire for freedom. Even if the body is restrained, the pursuit of freedom will never stop.
Otherwise, there would be no words like "Life is truly precious, but love is even more valuable. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away."
The less you can get something, the more you cherish it; the more you take it for granted, the less you take it for granted.
For Zhan'er, freedom is the most extravagant thing in her life. For this reason, she did not hesitate to do the most evil things, which caused her to suffer from mental illness.
They were bought into brothels like goods, and learned how to serve and please people under the sticks and whips.
After finally defeating Yabozi and getting the "key" to freedom, he was thrown into the abyss again.
As for Ying Niang, is it good for her? Compared with ordinary maids, it is naturally good, but even so, it is not enough for Zhan'er.
Because she doesn't want to be the maid of the first wife, and she doesn't want to "warm up" her uncle. This may be a reward in Yingniang's eyes, but it's an insult in Zhan'er's eyes!
For this reason, she killed people, three in a row... Even though her hands were covered in blood, she never regretted it.
When Ye An exposed her, this ill-fated woman did not show a trace of regret. She believed that what she did was not wrong.
It is true that according to the laws of this era, Zhan'er committed the crime of murdering the master's family. But in Ye An's case, she seems to have done nothing wrong. If she had the same experience as her, she might have acted more violently.
.
Since it's not her fault, it's because the era is wrong.
For some reason, Ye An felt that he should save her from suffering and let her live a life that an ordinary person should live.
Not only because of the moral standards in my heart, but also because of a faint impulse to challenge the "bullshit rules" of this era!
There were already shouting, screaming, crying and cursing coming from the carriage in front.
After Ye An got out of the car, the Wang Gang came back and whispered: "I heard that the young lady's maid Zhan'er stole something she shouldn't have stolen."
Xuan Chengzi glared at Wang Gang with dissatisfaction and said: "What nonsense are you talking about?! Stealing is stealing, is there anything that should or should not be done?!"
Gang Wang nodded repeatedly and said: "What the old immortal taught me is that villains are stupid!"
Ye An asked curiously: "What did you steal?"
Wang Bang scratched his head: "I don't know? I heard that it is a valuable thing. Official Wang has already passed by?" Mrs. Wang shouted that she wanted to send him to the official, and also said that the Wang family could not afford to lose this person."
Are the shouts in front getting louder? Xuan Chengzi frowned and refused to step forward. He just looked at Wang Yuan and Lan Jizong who got off the bullock cart together and said: "Something happened to the Wang family. It seems that they can't leave for the time being? Listen.
He said that he has to be sent to the official position. If a little girl is not a very evil person, she will make people angry."
But Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Whose family doesn't have a few unclean hands and feet? I'm afraid that Prince Rong is good at saving face, but others will say that he is not strict in running the family!"
Lan Jizong frowned and said, "How long have we been walking before this happened? Let's talk to Scholar Wang. I'll go ahead and wait for him at Baishayi in front!"
The personal officer had just received the order when he saw a servant from the Wang family approaching Ye And and said: "Little fairy? My master has invited you!"
Ye An was slightly startled, then said: "Why is it me?"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Ye An became more and more embarrassed and said, "I won't interfere with this kind of thing. I would also like to ask Scholar Wang to hurry up and leave."
The servant whispered: "What Zhan'er stole is yours!"
Following the Wang family's servant's words, Xuan Chengzi's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked at Ye An and said: "Don't you never leave your little bag? How could someone steal it?!"
Ye An shook his head slightly: "Disciple, you still don't know? In that case, let's go and take a look and we will find out!"
Since it was about Ye An, it was natural for Xuan Chengzi to pass by? Wang Yuan and Lan Jizong rolled their eyes and followed him.
The three of them have their own ideas?
Wang Yuan was a little curious. How could the maid of the Wang family steal Ye An's things? Even if she stole it, she should have sent it back quietly? She shouldn't have made such a noise to lure people over.
As for Lan Jizong? But he has more curious ideas. He has seen Ye An's watch and the person who sold it to the Wang family. What was stolen this time? Could it be something exquisite!
Watching the excitement is always something that people avoid but also flock to. Under the guidance of servants, a group of people arrived at the carriage of the Wang family's female family members. At this time, Zhan'er could no longer look at it.
His whole body was covered with scars from whips. The whip used to whip animals was made of twisted wire. Even an animal couldn't bear the whip, let alone a weak woman.
Fortunately, the Wang family still cared about their last dignity and did not say hello to Zhan'er's face. However, the faint blood stains oozing from her body "bloomed" through the thin clothes like plum blossoms.
There were three or five strong old women standing nearby. In their words, they had saved Zhan'er's face by not taking off her clothes.
Wang Yuan was a little disgusted with this kind of vulgar slang, and frowned at Wang Hao, who was full of anger. He didn't know whether it was out of pity for Zhan'er or because he felt that he was being devalued. He whispered: "If Zirong doesn't succeed, I will send him to the official."
To humiliate a woman like this is an insult to politeness!"
The old woman standing next to her, who was as strong as a pig, sneered: "This noble man doesn't know how to deal with such a thief who has insulted his master's name. He should be stripped naked and paraded through the streets!"
Ye An felt cold in his heart. It was just a theft case, but it would eventually destroy Zhan'er's life.
Looking at Zhan'er who lowered his head silently and hid his fists trembling in his sleeves, Ye An asked: "I wonder what was stolen, why is this kid implicated?"
Wang Hao looked at Ying Niang and said with embarrassment: "It's a silver judge from Guiguan, which is worth half a catty of money! Nephew Ye Xian, this silver judge is usually not allowed to be spent, but when he carries it with him, he is being watched by gangsters.
!”
Silver was not circulated in the Song Dynasty. It could only be circulated by going to the government and converting silver into copper coins. Silver was often engraved with a mark. If silver without a mark appeared in the government, not only could it not be converted into copper coins, it would even be confiscated and punished.
The young lady Bai Zhe held a palm-sized silver coin in her little hand, which was surprisingly heavy.
The bottom of the silver medal clearly marked its identity: on the fourth day of August in the third year of Tianxi, the Ministry of Rites granted Songshan Laojun Temple, which lasted until the eighth day...
The weight and origin were clear. It was obviously a gift from Laojun Guande. Xuan Chengzi's face changed instantly, and he looked at Ye An with questioning eyes.
Ying Niang spoke loudly to the side about the process of discovering the silver pen: "Brother, when we were riding in the car, my little sister asked this bitch to take Xinrou with her. Who would have thought that she was smart and actually stuffed Guiguan's silver pen into it?
If the little sister had not wanted to exchange the hairpin for a lighter one in the car, I would have let this bastard succeed!"
After Yingniang finished speaking, she handed the heavy silver medal to Ye An as if to take credit, her face was full of pride, and everyone also knew the whole story, and their eyes looking at Zhan'er were full of disgust.
