"Are you Han?" Huo Xi asked again to the woman in black who abducted her.

The woman only glanced at Huo Xi, then lowered her head without any reaction.

"I know you can't speak, but you can understand what I say."

Huo Xi asked someone to bring her a chair to sit on, "In that mountain stream, if you hadn't hinted several times, I should not have made the decision to run away so quickly."

The woman's arms were tied, her head was bowed, and she didn't look at Huo Xi.

"I read the statements of those three people. You want to send me out of the border and sell me to Laos, right?"

This woman got along with her for a few days, and maybe she couldn't bear it at the last moment, and she was not tied so tightly along the way.He also suggested several times that she escaped.

"If you have any difficulties, you can defend yourself, otherwise you will be sent to the county government for the crime of plundering and selling people."

The woman shrank her feet when she heard this.

Seeing this, Huo Xi sighed.

"I heard that for plundering and selling people, you will be punished with a hundred sticks and exiled for three thousand miles. Not to mention whether you can bear the punishment of one hundred sticks, even if you survived, but the journey of exile for three thousand miles is not enough. I’m afraid it’s hard for you to make it to the place of exile alive.”

The woman's body trembled.

"You don't want to die, do you? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I will let you survive for the sake of reminding me."

After waiting for a while, she still didn't respond.

"Madam, maybe she really doesn't understand."

"No. She responds to what Madam said, so she must be able to understand Madam's words." Mama Ma was the most observant of words and expressions. She stood by the side for a long time, she was sure that this woman could understand her daughter's words.

I just don't know why it looks like a life without love.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Huo Xi sighed, "Forget it, because you still have a conscience and hinted at me running away, I wanted to help you and reduce your punishment, but since you don't want to, let it go. But because of your reminder, I finally managed to escape and was found by my husband, I have ordered someone to notify your family, and let them come to see you off."

After speaking, he got up and left.

Not wanting to make a splash behind her, the woman slipped from the chair and kowtowed at Huo Xi.

"What is she doing?"

"Thank you ma'am?"

"Please, please madam..."

"Ah, you can talk!" Vanilla and the others were very surprised, isn't she dumb?He ran over to help her, but she refused to get up, so Xiang Cao and the others squatted down and looked at her, "So you are not dumb?"

"Then our wife asked you, why didn't you respond at all?"

"That's right, and our wife tricked you all the way, you didn't say a word, you are wrong, otherwise our wife wouldn't have to suffer so much, and might have escaped early."

As soon as the woman's hoarse voice came out of her throat, she even frightened herself. After a while, she said again: "Please Madam, please Madam..." After a few words, it became smoother, not so The guy is dumb.

"Quickly, pour her a glass of warm water." After Mama Ma ordered, she walked over to look at her, "Have you not spoken for a long time?"

The woman nodded with tears in her eyes: "Two, it's been 20 years..."

Haven't spoken in 20 years?Everyone was stunned again.Huo Xi looked at her in surprise. Haven't spoken in 20 years?why?Prefer to think of myself as dumb.

The lady even drank two cups of warm water to moisten her throat, and although she spoke slowly, she was coherent, "Please don't, please inform my family, just pretend that I'm dead." As long as she's dead, it's fine.

"Why? We asked those three men. Although they didn't know where you were from, we found out about your family through the clues they provided. There are men in your family, a son, a daughter-in-law and a two-year-old grandson. There is also a daughter to be married, you have family members. Why don't you want to see them?"

The woman shook her head while weeping.I'm afraid my daughter won't survive this meeting, she has nothing to miss in this world.

"Please madam, please madam, don't, don't tell them!"

Communication failed, and everyone had to leave the house.

Looking back, he saw that the door of the woman's room was closed tightly again, and two guards were guarding the door, one on the left and the other on the right.Can't help but sighed.

"Madam, why do you think she doesn't want to see her family?"

"After doing such a thing, I'm afraid that the family will not tolerate her."

"But you're about to die, don't you want to see your family again? Don't you have any worries?"

"Ma'am, isn't she from Luoluo? Why do you keep asking her if she is Han?"

Huo Xi sighed: "The interviewers came back and said that they didn't know where her natal family was. She was sold to her husband's house. She could understand what I said, and she looked different from the barbarians. I guessed it. "

"Then she must have some difficulties, otherwise she will not speak for 20 years, and even her husband and children will be hidden."

"Forget it, if she doesn't want to say it, let's not say it."

"Yeah, no matter how difficult you are, you will help the evildoers. Follow those three men to sell your wife. It's really abominable. Let the prince send someone to send them to the county government. If you do something wrong, you will be punished."

"Senior?" "I've seen you."

"Why are you here? Are you done?" Huo Xi walked towards him with a smile.Mu Yan held her hand.

The two returned to the house.After eating dinner early, I was ready to go to bed and rest after freshening up.

"Let's rest at the inn tonight and return to Kunming City tomorrow morning."

Huo Xi nodded, thinking of the woman named Ah Wu, and asked him: "That woman, can you reduce her sentence?"

Mu Yan frowned, he wished they would die and their sentence be commuted?Face full of disapproval.

"Do you think I'm okay?" "No."

"If she hadn't hinted, I wouldn't have chosen to jump off the cliff. Otherwise, I would have been sold to a neighboring country now!" Seeing that Mu Yan was indifferent, she pushed him and told him that she saw the woman just now situation.

"I always feel that she must have some difficulties. It looks very pitiful. Besides, why did you convict them of plundering and trafficking? Shouldn't it be 'robbing and selling people, selling them to be concubines and slaves'? "

If only the crime of plundering and selling human beings is convicted, the penalty of one hundred plus three thousand miles will be given.If the crime of plundering and selling human beings and selling them to others as concubines or slaves is committed, the crime will be added to the crime, and the penalty will be one hundred plus three years in prison.

If the woman can withstand a hundred rods and three years in prison, she can still come out.But if she was exiled for three thousand miles, she might not survive on the road.

Mu Yan raised his eyebrows, if they were convicted of this more serious crime, wouldn't that allow them to survive?

"Because it's unreasonable." Mu Yan frowned.

Most people can't stand a hundred sticks.Even if the three men could stand it in the end, they would not be able to survive the three thousand miles of exile without medical treatment.Even if they were sent to exile, he would not let them live.

If you want to move his heart, you must die.

I don't want to say more, "I will send them to the next county tomorrow morning, and the county magistrate will worry about it. Go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow morning." He won't let her come here again.

Huo Xi pouted and refused, "Can't she be spared? It's okay to separate them and convict them."

"Convicted separately? The crimes of the three men are lighter than hers?"

"And why didn't she stay alive? She was only exiled for three thousand miles, and she was not hanged like in the previous dynasty. Whether she lives or dies depends on whether her life is hard or not." Mu Yan didn't want to say more, hugged Huo Xi just sleep.

Unexpectedly, after sleeping until midnight, he was awakened by crying and howling outside.
