Chapter 617: Abandoned Child (21)
"what!"
The subordinates turned the person over, and everyone saw that the woman's forehead was covered in blood. She put her trembling fingers to the tip of her nose, but there was no breath.
"how?"
"My Lords, the prisoner has died."
"Oh, what bad luck! This woman died quickly. Bring the poisoned wine over here and pour it into me. I will pay off my debt even if I die."
Seeing them being forced to drink poisoned wine, bitten by poisonous snakes, and pierced with poisonous silver needles, the anger in their eyes lessened a lot. Before leaving, they said, "It's bad luck if such people die. Don't let them stay in the prison to get in the way."
"Yes!"
Because they were released, Hong Yuan and others had been locked up for the past few days and were already at a loss. But when they saw the bloody face on the ground, one figure was stunned, and then his steps became much lighter.
Gu Yuxi once again got up from the mass grave and kicked away the smelly corpse. Those people were so cruel that they didn't even let the dead go and even poured in larger doses of poison.
"Bah, it's not fun, not fun at all. The heroine halo around her is only half-built. Wu Dejing is really a bootlicker. In order to save Bai Heqi, she has lost three loyal secret guards."
The sky is vast and the wilderness is boundless, there are crows in the old trees, and a few vultures not far away make happy sounds, as if they are congratulating this feast of delicious food.
Because the satisfaction rate has reached 85%, Gu Yuxi will never give up. However, she can't see that Ke Tu has any romantic feelings for her. If she goes to find Ke Tu at this time, she will only expose her whereabouts.
She had confused the minds of those people in the Heavenly Prison and made them throw herself into a mass grave, which had already wasted a lot of her energy. The best strategy was to keep doing nothing.
She tiptoed away and quickly left the mass grave with her light Kung Fu. When she appeared again, she had turned into a fair-faced scholar with red lips and white teeth.
"Waiter, are there any rooms available?" The man's slightly rough voice sounded, which temporarily ruined his handsome and elegant appearance, but was also very distinctive.
"Yes, sir, you live..."
"How much is the price for a regular room?"
The waiter looked at the scholar in front of him. He was wearing clothes that were washed bleached, and had a book box on his back. He didn't look like a rich man, but scholars have a future. Besides, the imperial examination held every three years would be held in half a month. This scholar might even be a juren. They couldn't offend him easily.
Thinking of this, the waiter became more respectful and said, "An ordinary room is ten cents a night, and a large bunk bed is five cents. If it's late, the room back there will be more than twenty cents a night. I suggest that you pay the full fee for one month at a time, so that you don't have to worry about not having a room back there."
The scholar naturally knew what Xiaoer meant, but refused, "Thank you for the reminder, Xiaoer. I have other places to stay, and I am not qualified to be on the list now."
After hearing this, the waiter couldn't help but look down on him and said sarcastically: "Yes, the scholar is not so stingy."
The scholar calmly fanned himself, feeling that human nature is hard to change and that one should just get used to it. She smiled gently and then carried her things into the room.
The next morning, smoke rose from a wonton shop on the corner of the street. Several men with fierce looks kept looking outside. They saw the shop owner carrying a bowl of wontons to the table next to them. An impatient man pounded the table.
dong dong dong-
"Hey, what do you want, sir?"
"I say, you are really a dog-eye look down on people. You didn't see that we brothers have been waiting for a long time." As he spoke, he twisted the shop owner's ears and hair.
"Ah... Master, wait a minute. I'll bring it right over. I'm sorry for the poor hospitality."
"you……"
"Okay, we are here to do serious business, don't cause trouble."
The man was not convinced and said to the scholar next to him: "Tsk, you still look poor and down and out...ah!"
Bang!
One of the man's front teeth fell onto the table, his mouth full of blood. The people at the table immediately stood up, and the leader said, "I speak without restraint, please don't blame me, sir."
"Brother, I..."
"shut up!"
The toothless man sat down and took off the axe from his back. He saw a big hole on the steel axe and became as quiet as a quail, not daring to speak.
"Dear guests, your wontons are ready." The shopkeeper happily brought out the wontons.
While eating wontons, the group couldn't help but say, "Brother, have you found out everything? Is it true that the courtesan has Baicao's unique skills?"
"How can I deceive you? Yuanhongyuan still owes us three thousand taels of silver. We have to collect this debt. If all else fails, we can use that chicken coop to open a gambling house."
"Don't mention it, that bitch Honeysuckle still owes me three hundred taels of silver. This time I'm going to arrest her directly."
"Brother, why did you give that woman so much money? She is pretty... Hey, they are out. Those people have been released."
Everyone saw that all the madam and prostitutes of Yuanhongyuan were released. They all had empty eyes and pale faces.
"They are all out. I didn't expect that the second young lady of the Bai family committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
"She is a vicious woman. She deserves to die. Otherwise, I don't know how she would harm others."
A group of big men walked over with weapons in hand, and the madam of Yuanhongyuan's face changed when she saw this.
"Master Wen."
"I'm here to get the silver. Where is that bitch Honeysuckle? And..."
"How can there be so much? There are only two thousand taels."
"Here is the written document. Do you still want to deny it? Do you want to stay in the cell for a longer time, my brother..."
Before Bai Heqi could react, she was pulled into the arms of a man. She struggled hard, but was strangled by the neck the next second.
"let me go."
"Ren Dong, why are you so heartless? You still owe me a lot of money. Now Yuanhong Courtyard has been divided up by those owners. That place and you are all our brothers. As long as you follow me, you will definitely get benefits in the future."
"Let me go, you bastard, let me go."
"Honeysuckle, you've been through a lot in prison these past few days, and your voice has changed. Don't worry, follow me, and I'll make sure you have everything you need."
The woman's face changed. They had originally planned to find a place to stay and then find a chance to leave, but they didn't expect to run into this group of scoundrels.
"Your indentures are all with us. Now that you are out, follow us and leave. Otherwise, we will not recognize you with the sticks in our hands."
Bai Heqi didn't want to go with that man, so she left with the madam and others. However, she didn't expect that there were still so many troubles in Yuanhongyuan. It was too late for her to regret now.
"let me go!"
"Get out of here if you know what's best for you. Those who are good-looking can stay, and those whose looks are unbearable can be sent to the human trafficking market."
The citizens on the street were just watching the fun. Those men were hooligans who could not be provoked. They had the support of the royal family. However, there was a lot of excitement in the past few days.
As for Bai Heqi, she had lost all her martial arts skills for some reason, as if she was possessed by a demon. She tried to call for help but fainted...
