第九章(1/4)

一清早，家家户户男男女女就被官军们一个一个从家里赶出来，站在大街两边，等着看宋葆贞被游街后斩首示众。
                                                                                                                                                                听说要把宋葆贞斩首，全镇的人都感到忿忿不平，却没有一个人敢说出一个不字来。他们毕竟是一群安善良民，对官府有一种天生的畏惧感。
                                                                                                                                                                “来呀，把犯妇宋葆贞带上堂来！”汤怀德和保成坐在公事房的大厅里，升堂提审女死囚。
                                                                                                                                                                葆贞昨晚被关在公事房后院的厢房里，吃得好，睡得好，还在两个从省城跟来的女狱卒的帮助下洗了一个澡，唯一同她那看似乐观的表情不相符的，便是她从被有财强奸的那天起就再也没有说过一句话。
                                                                                                                                                                女狱卒把她带到堂上，让她跪下，葆贞不毫无驯服地挣扎了一阵儿，还是被硬按着跪在地上。
                                                                                                                                                                “叫什么？”
                                                                                                                                                                “……”
                                                                                                                                                                “这是验明正身，必得回复的，否则没法行刑。”女狱卒在旁边低声说。
                                                                                                                                                                “行不更名，坐不改姓，宋葆贞。怎么样？”
                                                                                                                                                                “大胆宋葆贞，你聚人作乱，抗拒朝廷捐税，今日将你斩首，你有何话讲？”
