The guards in golden clothes took the people to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and left. The prison leader asked the jailer in charge to come over and take everyone in the Shangshu Mansion into the prison.
Although the prison of the Ministry of Punishment is large, it is impossible to cram everyone into one cell and can only be held separately.
Men and women are not in the same prison, and masters and servants are not in the same place.
There were guards escorting Ling Shangshu and others to the cell where the men were detained. Naturally, the female relatives such as Ling Chu and Tai Fu would be imprisoned in the women's cell.
Seeing everyone's hesitant steps and slow movements, the jailers couldn't help shouting at everyone, and even insulted them rudely.
A jailer took out the key, opened the cell door, frowned and shouted impatiently, "Hurry up, it's useless no matter how slow you delay. Once you enter our cell, don't even think about getting out again."
"Wait a minute..."
At this time, a jailer from behind with a few pockmarks on his face shouted and walked over quickly, blocking the door of the cell with his tall body.
Although they didn't know what the jailer was going to do, everyone couldn't help but feel even more uneasy when they saw him looking at them greedily.
The pockmarked jailer looked around at the group of female relatives, and then said impatiently, "You should be wise and hand over all the valuable things you have, otherwise I will take them myself."
The jailer who opened the door frowned and said hesitantly, "Master Zhao, is this not good for you?"
Mazi's jailer's face darkened, "Ma Dalin, if you can keep your mouth shut, you will get your share of the benefits. Otherwise..."
He didn't finish the rest of his words, but Ma Dalin knew what he meant.
Zhao Ping relied on his good relationship with the people behind him to do this kind of bullying of prisoners.
Even though Ma Dalin couldn't bear it, he didn't dare to offend Zhao Ping, otherwise he wouldn't get any good results.
Hearing the words of the jailer surnamed Zhao, the female relatives of Shangshu Mansion were filled with shock and anger. It was like being bullied by a dog.
They were originally the female dependents of high-ranking second-grade officials, and these lowly jailers were not even qualified to see them in the past.
I didn’t expect that now that they were scolding me and not saying anything, would they still force me to hand over everything I had on me?
All the property in the mansion has been confiscated by the Jin Yiwei, and now only the jewelry on his body is left.
Although I don't want to in my heart, I have to bow my head under the eaves.
The madam's face was grave, and she raised her hand to take off the jewelry on her head.
A flash of greed flashed across the face of the pock-marked jailer, and he quickly reached out and snatched the jewelry from the Madam's hand.
Then he turned sideways, stepped away from the door of the cell, and waved casually to the madam, "Okay, come in quickly."
Then he turned his head and looked at the eldest lady and the others greedily.
Being stared at by this gaze, everyone felt uneasy, especially when they saw the jailer staring at several girls. In addition to being greedy, his gaze even showed an unabashed and explicit look.
The first lady and the second lady felt their hearts sinking, but they dared not speak out in anger.
They could only quietly block their daughters behind, while quickly taking off all the jewelry on their bodies and handing them to Mazi, the jailer.
Ling Chu stood behind and saw the whole scene, but she did not step forward to stop him.
Money is something external to the body. As long as you keep your life, if the money is gone, you will still have the opportunity to earn it back in the future.
Now it's just a matter of losing money and eliminating disaster.
Seeing that no one dared to resist, the jailer Mazi felt proud. In the past, these high-ranking nobles would not even give a single look of charity to people of low status like them.
Now she has to lower her proud head in front of him and obey his words as an imperial edict.
Seeing that the eldest wife, the second wife, and several concubines all gave their jewelry to the jailer Mazi, they also endured their anger and heartache and handed over all their jewelry.
The jailer Mazi took out a big cloth bag and put all the scraped jewelry into the bag.
Those who gave the jewelry were put in jail.
When the sixth girl arrived, she took off the jewelry on her head and handed it to the jailer with trembling hands.
I don't know if she was too nervous and scared, but the sixth girl didn't notice that there was still a silver hairpin on her head that she had not removed.
The Mazi jailer's eyes circled around her face, he reached out to take the jewelry in her hand and put it into the bag, and then quickly pulled out the silver hairpin from her head.
However, no one could have imagined that after the Mazi jailer pulled out the silver hairpin, he would touch the beautiful face of the sixth girl with his hand.
The sixth girl didn't know if she was frightened out of her wits, but she didn't resist. She just shivered and let her tears fall with a pale face.
Her biological mother, Aunt Liu, had already entered the cell and followed the second lady.
Ling Chu did not expect that Mazi's jailer was not only greedy for money, but also dared to molest him.
Unexpectedly, when Aunt Liu saw her daughter being bullied, she did not come over to protect the sixth girl. She just stood precariously beside the second lady, not even daring to say a word.
When the Mazi jailer saw that no one dared to stand up and stop him, he suddenly became bolder. He stared at the sixth girl with narrowed eyes, and put his hands around her waist.
Ling Chu, who was standing behind, glared at Miss Six with disgust.
He stretched out his hand, slapped the back of Mazi's hand hard, and quickly tapped the acupuncture points on his hand.
The jailer Mazi was caught off guard, and his hands were naturally slapped off.
He didn't expect that someone would dare to stop him, so he turned around and glared at him fiercely, but he didn't expect that the girl who hit him turned out to be as beautiful as a fairy.
Seeing that outstanding face, the evil fire in Mazi's heart not only did not go out, but became even bigger than before.
With that revealing look, Ling Chu almost couldn't help but poke his eyes out.
The situation was wrong, he couldn't hit anyone, and he felt aggrieved, but Ling Chu would not let such a disgusting thing bully him.
"Mr. Zhao, aren't you? Have you been having bad luck recently? However, I see from your face that your fortune is good today and you will make a fortune. Mr. Zhao must seize this opportunity.
I advise you not to move your hands arbitrarily. If you touch something you shouldn't touch, be careful if your hands become crippled, and your fortune today will be at risk. "
The jailer Mazi was shocked and confused after hearing Ling Chu's words.
How did this girl know that he was having bad luck recently?
I don't know what's going on, but he has indeed been losing for more than half a month recently, and he hasn't even won half a copper.
He collected so much jewelry today, and even though he had to hand over some of it, he was able to keep a lot for himself. He was thinking about playing a few more games today and winning back what he had lost previously.
However, the two girls in front of him were so beautiful that it made him feel itchy.
How about he enjoy it first and try his luck later?
Just as Zhao Ping made up his mind, he found that the arm he had just been hit on suddenly lost strength and was in unbearable pain.
"What did you do to my hand?" the Mazi jailer asked angrily.
Ling Chu said lightly, "Maybe I was not careful just now and I got a little too strong."
After finishing his words, he raised his hand and quickly tapped his acupuncture point.
Zhao Ping suddenly felt that his arm was back to normal.
He didn't expect the girl in front of him to have such means. He was silent for a while before asking, "Girl, you know how to read faces. Did you just say that I have good fortune today?"
Ling Chu nodded, "Yes, I lived in a Taoist temple since I was a child, so I naturally learned the art of physiognomy. You will indeed make a fortune today."
Getting rich was indeed real, but Ling Chu didn't say a word.
This Zhao Pingyintang turned black, his fortune was mixed with blood and disaster, and the aura of death lingered all over his body, almost drowning him.
