Chapter 5 Rule of Man
Aunt Gu was stunned when she heard this. She pointed her index finger at the stoneware bowl with three layers of ash on the edge of the fence. She grinned at Ye Sanniang and said, "I wonder if the third young lady of the Bai family is used to eating."
If you eat the food in the cell, how can I make money?
How can I let you get what you want by cutting off my wealth?
Ye Sanniang pursed her lips tightly and swallowed, as if she couldn't eat any more.
It's not that she's being pretentious, it's just that she really can't eat it.
Aunt Gu tilted her chin slightly and looked at her proudly. Not many people could eat the food in her prison that was like pig food.
Especially the young lady from this wealthy family, who is not well-off.
It's okay if she can't bear this hardship, otherwise how would her purse be full.
"I'll eat it." Ye Sanniang clenched her fists and said with determination.
"Okay!" Aunt Gu snorted coldly, looking to see how long you can hold on.
"Miss, the money this slave earns is enough to buy you food." Oriyuan said with great distress as he looked at his pampered child.
How have you ever suffered such grievance!
"Save it! I will eat the food provided by the prisoner." Ye Sanniang looked at her with bright black eyes and said without doubt.
"Miss..." Zhe Yuan looked at Ye Sanniang with pleading eyes and said.
"Okay, it's settled!" Ye Sanniang made a decision directly, "Let's go quickly! Don't keep the children waiting."
"Yes!" Zhe Yuan felt blessed, carried the food box out of the cell, and left quickly.
Aunt Gu locked the cell door, then shook the key in her hand, clattering, clattering, and walked to the door of the cell with square steps.
When Aunt Gu saw Zhe Yuan, her eyes flashed with a greedy expression, 'This is not coming.'
Aunt Gu pretended to be angry and said, "Why don't you leave? It's time to visit the prison. Don't make me suffer."
"No, no, it's just a trivial matter, slave." Zheyuan bent down and looked at Aunt Gu flatteringly and said, taking out some broken silver from his waist and stuffing it into Aunt Gu's fat hands.
Aunt Gu nodded with satisfaction, but said, "No reward for no merit. If the prefect knows this, he should punish minor crimes."
"This is your hard-earned money. Let's buy some tea to drink on this hot day." Zheyuan said sweetly as he blessed himself.
"What do you want me to do?" Aunt Gu was worried when she heard this. She deserves to be from a wealthy family and is good at doing things and talking.
"My slave will bring the food. Please ask Aunt Gu to send it to my young lady. Just say it was prepared in the prison." Zhe Yuan begged, feeling blessed again.
Coupled with that pitiful little appearance and weak Liu Fufeng figure, it really made Aunt Gu, a woman, feel pity for her, and reluctantly said, "Okay then!"
Zhe Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said to Aunt Gu, "But..." Her heart started to rise again.
"Aunt Gu, if you have any requests, please tell me. If you can do it, I will definitely find a way to do it." Zhe Yuan looked at her eagerly and said, his peach blossom eyes filled with tears.
Aunt Gu glanced at her and sighed heavily, "Hey! Who told me that I'm so soft-hearted! It's the worst thing to see someone beg me." Bata, Bata said, "What I want to say is, you
Just buy a roadside stall for your lady. At least it’s clean. If you buy food from restaurants, you can tell at a glance. My cell doesn’t have that kind of food, do you understand?”
"I understand, I understand." Zhe Yuan nodded hurriedly, and blessed Fu Shen again, "Thank you for your advice. Ordinary food." He nodded and bowed and said, "Thank you, thank you. I won't disturb you anymore." He finished his words.
He took the food box and left.
Aunt Gu opened her big hand, looked at the broken silver in her hand, weighed it a few times, and said, "The quality is really good." She pulled up a chair and sat at the door, shaking the big cattail leaf fan and humming a tune, which was very comfortable.

Ye Sanniang continued to chew on the steamed bun in her hand, chewing carelessly, thinking about her case.
There was a mature judicial system in ancient times, but ancient justice was ultimately 'rule by people' rather than 'rule by law'. It would be difficult for the newly appointed prefect to retry the case!
Only if the chief judge has the law in his mind can he retry the case. If there is no law, the result will remain the same after repeated trials.
Just be afraid, what will the new prefect do with the new prefect in order to protect the incoming prefect, or the incoming prefect does not want to harm his official reputation?
Officials protect each other!
Ye Sanniang was really wronged, and even if she knew she was wronged, she would still die unjustly.
Evidence? Now you still have to find evidence that is beneficial to you.
Compared with its peak period, the Bai family's property can be sold for a lot more, and this is all due to the Yamen's change records.
There is a possibility of being concerned about Ye Sanniang’s dowry, but what does this mean? Evidence is what matters most in handling cases, and no one would believe it based on speculation.
The crime scene has been destroyed after such a long time. I was beaten by the Bai family's eldest son at that time. Is there any record in the case file?
Were there any injuries examined that day?
Damn it, 'Ye Sanniang' couldn't find this memory at all. What was she doing at that time?
The more she thought about it, the more discouraged she became, and coupled with the fact that Mr. Guan had a crooked butt, she was really doomed.
Could it be that she was just waiting for her head to disappear? She didn't want to die again.
As a party who has been sentenced to death, you should be able to look at the court file recorded on that day!
This case was heard in public, and the people who came to the yamen gate to confer with each other were crowded on three levels inside and three levels outside.
The cell leader, Aunt Gu, must know more than 'Ye Sanniang'.
"Aunt Gu, Aunt Gu." Ye Sanniang shouted at the top of her voice.
But the voice of 'Ye Sanniang' was sticky and charming, with a bit of charm in it. Hey... she got goosebumps when she heard it.
Listening to the pitiful sound like a kitten meowing, Aunt Gu hurriedly stuffed the broken silver into her armhole and said in a loud voice, "What's it called?" She stood up impatiently and muttered to herself, "For the sake of the money.
For my sake, let’s see what you’re doing?” As he walked towards the cell, he shouted, “Here he comes, he comes. You’d better have something important to do, otherwise I won’t be able to spare you.”
Ye Sanniang looked at Aunt Gu who came over with her deep eyes and said, "Aunt Gu, when I first came in that day, I was beaten all over my body."
"Yes! You were beaten so badly that your little slap-sized face was swollen like a pig's head." Aunt Gu said without thinking, muttering in her heart: It's so miserable! The punishment in this prison is nothing more than punishment.
So, bah! How can this be compared?
Ye Sanniang sat upright excitedly, looked at her eagerly and asked, "Has my injury been tested that day?"
"It's been tested. Wu Zuo has tested it for you personally." Aunt Gu blinked and looked at her in confusion and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
"Is there anyone..." Ye Sanniang suddenly braked. Although it was not herself, she could not say the crime.
Who is Aunt Gu? She has been working in a prison cell for so many years, but she can't tell the difference. "Giggle..." she slapped her thighs and laughed, "You want to talk to people, but why are you beaten so hard that your nose is bruised and your face is swollen!" It's funny to see.
