The legend of Dukang

Zhao Wanru has never believed in ghosts and gods. If there were gods, there would not be so much injustice and injustice in the world; if there were ghosts, so many wicked people would not be allowed to die well.

So Zhao Wanru never remembers the appearance of the dead, because she doesn't believe that there will be retribution!However, I don't know when, those faces that were already blurred became more and more vivid, lingering in front of my eyes every day.

The women's prison is dark and deep, full of resentment!Even in daylight, there is no light to be seen.There are often whining ghost cries at night, the sound seems to come from far away, and it seems to be close to the ear.

I heard from the female yamen guard who watched the prison that it was because of heavy resentment.Although there are not many female prisoners in the women's prison in a year, all those who are locked in will die miserably in all likelihood!

After being thrown into this dark cell, Zhao Wanru lived very hard every day.The environment in the cell was harsh, rats and cockroaches were everywhere, the humidity was heavy, and there was always a musty smell in the air.Even the two daily harsh meals were cold.

The two rough envoys who delivered the food said that if the prisoner is willing to pay some money, he can be transferred to a cell with better conditions, and the food can also be eaten hot.Although the crime of beheading has been determined, at least he can live a comfortable life before death.

It's a pity that when Zhao Wanru was sent to the court, Mrs. Li stripped off all the precious ornaments on her body.The Su family will definitely not spend money to take care of her.But what about her mother's family?Zhao Wanru thought sadly: Over the years, the benefits her natal family has received from her are beyond count, and their good life is all given by her.But now that she is thrown here, she is so incompetent that she should not be called every day, and her natal family has not come to see her!

It's a pity that Zhao Wanru can't wait anymore. Her courage and resentment seemed to have been exhausted in the court that day, and all that was left was confusion and helplessness!The hand holding the belt is tight and loose, loose and tight, hanging is better than walking down the street in public and then being beheaded!But Zhao Wanru has been unable to make up her mind, even she herself doesn't know, what is she waiting for?

I don't know how many dark days and nights have passed. On this day, Zhao Wanru curled up in a corner of the cell, buried her face in her knees and shivered.Suddenly footsteps sounded from the depths of the cell.

Who else would come but the two vitriolic women who served the dinner?Zhao Wanru was puzzled, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help being overjoyed, could it be that her parents and brother came to visit her?

Zhao Wanru quickly got up and staggered to the fence. Although it was dark in front of her eyes, she threw her head into the crack of the fence and looked out.

It didn't take long for Zhao Wanru to gradually feel that something was wrong. At the end of the cell, there was no dim light from the broken lantern of the yamen servant, but only the firmer footsteps in the endless darkness.

The visitor is not good!This is Zhao Wan's subconscious reaction.She hurriedly retreated to the previous corner.The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty cell, as if stepping on her nerves, walking towards her step by step.There seemed to be a huge pressure in the air, which made her unable to breathe!

The visitor finally stopped, as if carrying the coldness of hell.Zhao Wanru hugged her shoulders tightly, shivering from the cold. She tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart, and bravely raised her head to look into the darkness.

The moonlight shone in through the small window on the wall, leaving a piece of silvery white on the messy ground, and the cell instantly brightened up.

With the help of the white moonlight, Zhao Wanru finally saw the man's face clearly, and couldn't help being shocked: "You? How could it be you?"

The person who came was wearing a blue gown. He looked handsome, but his face was pale. The shadow reflected by the moonlight hit his expressionless face. He looked like an evil ghost lurking in the dark, or a vengeful Shura.

His arrival was indeed unexpected, but it seemed reasonable.Zhao Wanru couldn't figure out what was going on in her mind for a moment, so she looked at him cautiously and said, "Su Qin? Why are you here?"

Du Shaokang didn't answer, but looked down at Zhao Wanru who was sitting on the ground through the fence, his eyes were dim, as if he was looking at the grass on the ground.

Zhao Wanru's whole body shivered from his icy stare, she lowered her head guiltyly, and thought to herself: Although she had the idea of ​​plotting against Su Qin, she hadn't had time to carry it out after all.On the bright side, she can be regarded as one of the few people in Su's residence who is kind to him.Besides, if she hadn't killed Su Qiubao and Zhang Qiushi, Su Qin wouldn't be in vain.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wanru couldn't help being a little angry: She had worked so hard for many days, but she didn't expect to make wedding clothes for others!In the court that day, she admitted Su Tong's life experience in order to anger Mrs. Li, and placed Su Gu on Zhang Qiushi's body.Doing so would undoubtedly cut off the two sons' future paths, cleared all obstacles for Su Qin, and made him the only legitimate heir of the Su family!

Right now, he has become a prisoner in distress, but he is standing outside the fence in well-dressed clothes, with a proud look.The more Zhao Wanru thought about it, the more angry she became, she couldn't help but raised her head, and said bluntly: "Yo! Isn't this Young Master Su Qin? Why didn't the well-behaved Su Manor stay here and came to this prison?"

"I'll take a look at my cousin! The weather has turned cold recently, how is my cousin?" Du Shaokang said lightly.

"The concubine took several lives from your Su family, Su Jinxiu probably has the heart to eat the concubine alive! How could she pretend to let you come and see me?" Zhao Wanru straightened her messy hair and said coldly Said: "I see! He sent you to see how miserable I am! But unfortunately, there are still a few months before I will be executed. I heard that Su Jinxiu has been ill, and Li Shi is also dying. I am afraid they will not survive. How long, maybe, I will still walk ahead of my concubine!"

"Hehe!" Du Shaokang rarely smiled: "My cousin is overthinking, I was not sent by Su Jinxiu, and naturally I was not sent by Li. Besides, Su Qiubao and Zhang Qiushi did a lot of evil, they died , I'm afraid the whole city of Suzhou is applauding, and my cousin sister-in-law is doing harm to the people!"

Looking at the corners of Du Shaokang's raised mouth, he showed his disgust towards Su Qiubao and Zhang Qiushi nakedly.Zhao Wanru couldn't figure out his intention for a while, so she stared at him cautiously and didn't speak.

Du Shaokang continued: "The younger brother came here this time to thank his cousin for her great kindness. If there was no help from the cousin, how could the younger brother enter the Su family so easily. It's a pity that the cousin's tricks were exhausted, but in the end she was left behind." It's really bad luck to end up like this!"

These words undoubtedly stepped on Zhao Wanru's painful foot. Looking at Du Shaokang's gloating face, Zhao Wanru was extremely angry, but she put on a smile on her face and said sarcastically: "Cousin, don't be too happy! It's already at the end of its strength, and it's not as glamorous as it looks on the outside. If Su Jinxiu hadn't been gritting her teeth to hold on, she would have collapsed a long time ago! Now that the Su family has such a scandal, Su Jinxiu will not have a few days to live. Such a dying Su Home, what's the use of snatching it?"

"I think the one who is too happy is my cousin!" Du Shaokang said leisurely: "Your two sons are still staying in the Su family. Their father died, and their mother was sentenced to death. If the Su family collapses, Where should they go?"

Zhao Wanru's original sneering smile instantly froze on her face.

Du Shaokang sneered and said, "Biao sister-in-law has never thought about the two children all this way? As long as she has the heart of being a mother, she would not do so many unconscionable things!" Looking at Zhao Wanru's gradually turning pale face, Du Shaokang continued: "My cousin doesn't know yet! The second day after you were sentenced to beheaded, your parents, younger siblings disappeared from the city of Suzhou, and even the few shops you worked so hard to run for them It’s all paid off at a low price, and I really leave without nostalgia. That’s right! They’ve taken a lot of money from you over the years, and now their reputation in Suzhou is rotten! As long as they leave Suzhou, they can change their appearance and be comfortable Live. But it’s really chilling to treat a biological daughter who is a parent of food and clothing like this!”

No wonder the parents and younger siblings didn't visit the prison, they ran away long ago!Zhao Wanru's heart felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, so she heard Du Shaokang continue: "My cousin is really miserable! He tried his best to please Su Qiubao, but he still treats you as a dispensable thing, and still spends his time outside; doing his best But Su Jinxiu treats you as a tool for raising children, while Li Shi only treats you as a lowly servant! As for your parents, siblings... even more ruthless! They treat you as a hen that can only lay eggs , a tree that can make money, once it is useless, kick it away immediately! For so many years, you have carefully catered to and flattered each of them, but the ridiculous thing is that none of them treat you as a human being!"

"Shut up! Don't talk anymore! Come on! Come on!" Du Shaokang's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and finally crushed Zhao Wanru's nerves. She cried out heartbreakingly , trying to call the yamen servant over to drive the man in front of him away.

Du Shaokang watched coldly, and let Zhao Wanru howl until she could no longer make a sound, then said slowly: "Biao sister-in-law, don't waste your efforts! Those guards may not wake up until tomorrow, except me today , no one will come!"

Hearing this posture, all the servants who wanted to guard the door were controlled by him!This Du Shaokang knew that she couldn't call anyone, and let her yell, obviously it was intentional.

Looking at Du Shaokang's cold gaze, which seemed to turn into a sharp blade to pierce her through, the disgust and hatred in it were self-evident, Zhao Wanru couldn't help but shuddered, but also felt baffled: Although she did a lot of evil, she couldn't get in touch with Su Qin after all. Too much, and I didn't have time to do anything to hurt him.Where did such monstrous hatred come from?

"You...what on earth do you want?" Zhao Wanru said hoarsely, "I have no grievances or enmities with you, why should you keep pestering me!" Zhao Wanru struggled to pronounce, her throat twitching pain.

Seeing how hard it was for her to even say a single word, Du Shaokang chuckled and said, "It's hard to be dumb! But it's better than being given dumb drugs! Don't you think so?"

Hearing this, Zhao Wanru's whole body was shocked, and all the doubts finally found a foothold.She opened her eyes wide, stared at Du Shaokang and said with difficulty: "You, you are for him? You... who are you?"

"Who am I, you will never know! But why I came here, I think you have already guessed!" Du Shaokang took something out of his sleeve and threw it in front of Zhao Wanru.

The thing floated down slowly, like a duckweed that had left its roots, and landed on the pile of straw in front of Zhao Wanru.

With the faint moonlight, Zhao Wanru could see clearly that it was a dog's tail grass.She screamed and retreated as if she had seen a scourge, moving her hands and feet with difficulty to the corner.

Now everything is clear, all the things are planned by the person in front of him; it is thanks to him that he has come to where he is today!He came to the Su family not to seek the Su family's property, nor to cling to the Su family!His last name might not even be Sue!His ultimate goal is to take revenge, to avenge Dong Chun!

Zhao Wanru trembled and said, "You...you came here to avenge him!"

"Hehe!" Du Shaokang shook his head: "I just want to repay his wish and send you a ride for him! Your natal family has abandoned you, and the Su family will not recognize you! In vain you think you are so beautiful , when you are about to die, there is no one behind you, it is really desolate!"

"I don't need your fake kindness!" Zhao Wanru roared, "I have never regretted what happened back then! I just want to pursue a better life, is there anything wrong with that?"

Du Shaokang looked at Zhao Wanru's desolate appearance, and said with a smile, "Did you get what you were after? Have you been happy these years?"

Thinking of the trembling and trembling days in the Su Mansion, Zhao Wanru was instantly speechless.

"For your own selfishness, you harm others and disregard their lives. It's a pity that even if you are so miserable, he still doesn't want to hate you!" Du Shaokang said coldly.

Dong Chun's handsome face and gentle and gentle eyes appeared in front of her eyes, Zhao Wanru felt a pain in her heart, but she was unwilling to regret it, because if she regretted it, it would mean that everything she had done for so many years was wrong.She can lose, lose to fate, lose to luck, lose to someone who is more ruthless and smarter than her, but she can't make a mistake, if she makes a mistake, it means that she asked for everything today!It's like the happiness that she once obtained was ruined by her own hands!

Zhao Wanru gritted her teeth and said, "Don't come and teach me a lesson! I have killed so many people in my life, and Dong Chun is no worse than him! There is no need for his hypocritical forgiveness!"

"He really doesn't hate you!" Du Shaokang said flatly: "He said, love is as deep as hatred! Since there is no love, there will be no hatred!"

After hearing this, Zhao Wanru's face was instantly as pale as ashes.

Du Shaokang also lost the interest to continue tormenting her, took out a pearl hairpin from his sleeve and put it beside the fence, saying: "This is what Brother Dong promised you, now you all return to the ashes, the heavens and the earth, Never meet again!"

Du Shaokang stood up, took one last look at Zhao Wanru, and said, "Dress up nicely, so you can go on the road!" Then he turned and left.

The moonlight seemed to have disappeared with Du Shaokang's departure, and the death-like darkness and silence returned to the cell, even the ghostly cries were silent.

The pearls on the hairpin looked like fakes. They were covered with a layer of low-quality fluorescent powder, which glowed green in the dark.Zhao Wanru crawled over with both hands and feet, grabbed the hairpin in her hands and covered her heart.The silver hairpin was cold and sharp, piercing fiercely into the palm of her hand and into the flesh, but she clung desperately and refused to let go, like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood.Tears flowed down my cheeks. This was what she met in a small shop in Xilan County, and Dong Chun agreed to buy it for her.Unexpectedly, after so many years and so many things, this hairpin is still in her hands.

The chest that had been numb to the cold seemed to be injected with a warm current, melting the hard shell on the surface, revealing a fiery and soft heart.Zhao Wanru finally burst into tears. The only person who was sincere to her, the precious thing he once had, was finally buried by her own hands!

As if thinking of something, Zhao Wanru's heart moved, she struggled to climb to the fence, and shouted heart-piercingly to the boundless darkness: "Su Qin! Su Qin! For the sake of Brother Dong, please talk to me! Please talk to me! Son! This is my only wish! Su Qin! Did you hear that? Su Qin!"
