Dressed as the villain's stepmother

After Jiang Lianzhu hesitated for a moment, she finally expressed her inner speculation.

Liao Yunchuan did not refute: "It is very likely that, as you just said, the two parties have colluded in advance and want to benefit from this matter."

"So what should we do now?"

Jiang Lianzhu's breathing stagnated slightly, then she raised her head and looked at Liao Yunchuan.

She originally thought that after the troops from the capital arrived, the people trapped in the cottage would be able to escape successfully.

But now it seems that what I thought before was too good. As far as the current situation is concerned, this is simply impossible.

"Don't act rashly first, let's see what actions both sides take before talking."

Liao Yunchuan replied, picking up the candlestick placed aside.

"I will bring Lin Suji here early tomorrow to exchange identities with you. After you successfully get out of the village, it is best to find a way to leave, so as not to arouse suspicion later."

"I know, isn't it just a fake death?"

Jiang Lianzhu curled her lips, her eyes full of understanding.

The next day.

A ray of light hit Jiang Lianzhu's face through the sealed window. She opened her eyes suddenly, packed herself up neatly, and sat quietly waiting for Lin Suji.

About a quarter of an hour later, the sound of the door lock being opened came from outside, and Lin Suji and Liao Yunchuan walked in one after another.

Lin Suji held a cloth bag in his hand, and after much hesitation, he placed it in front of Jiang Lianzhu.

"Miss Jiang, these are the clothes we usually wear when shopping, and we must also carry this brand with us."

"Okay, is there anything else that needs attention?"

Jiang Lianzhu opened the cloth bag in front of her, and what she saw was a set of folded clothes, and a wooden sign placed on top, with the words Lin Suji crookedly engraved on it.

Lin Suji shook his head and answered simply.

"Nothing else. The one who led the team to purchase this time is Liu Wanli. He is arrogant and domineering but not careful. If you leave the team secretly, no one will find you."

"Okay, I'll change my clothes now." Jiang Lianzhu understood in her heart, picked up the folded clothes in the bag, and then her eyes fell on Liao Yunchuan. She paused slightly and said, "You go out first."

"I know, I won't take advantage of you."

Liao Yunchuan smiled helplessly, turned around and walked out to help guard the door.

Jiang Lianzhu quickly changed her clothes, gave herself a bun that was exactly the same as Lin Suji's, and then wiped some dirt on her face, which made her complexion look sallow.

She hung the wooden sign on her chest, lowered her head and walked out, kicking Liao Yunchuan who was standing aside.

"You can take me now."

Liao Yunchuan glanced at Jiang Lianzhu and locked the door.

"Come with me."

Jiang Lianzhu followed Liao Yunchuan to the gate of the cottage. Liu Wanli was just waiting for his men to count the number of people there. Seeing Jiang Lianzhu hurried over, he asked sharply: "Who are you?"

"The second boss... I, I am Lin Suji. The wooden sign hanging on my body fell off before. I wasted a little time when I went back to pick up the wooden sign."

Jiang Lianzhu imitated Lin Suji's tone and answered Liu Wanli's words submissively.

After hearing this, Liu Wanli just waved his hand and asked Jiang Lianzhu to quickly go to the back of the queue.

After Jiang Lianzhu stood still, she dared to quietly raise her head and look around.

There were about twenty or thirty people who came out to buy with her. They were all dressed the same as her. Their heads were lowered tightly and they didn't dare to raise them.

Outside their group, five burly men were specially arranged. Liu Wanli stood in front of this group, holding a cloth bag in his hand.

Jiang Lianzhu stood on tiptoe a little and glanced at the shiny things inside the cloth bag, which were probably gold and silver.

"You guys should have already figured out what you're going to buy on this trip down the mountain, right?"

Liu Wanli glanced at the people in front of him and spoke in an extremely arrogant tone.

"I just bought some supplies in this town. If I find anyone trying to escape in the chaos, it won't be as simple as losing their head after being caught!"

"Yes."

The group of people below responded in a low voice, holding a small bag of copper coins that Liu Wanli had been given, and followed the leading man to the town.

Jiang Lianzhu kept her head lowered, looking at the girl standing next to her with her peripheral vision, and when the big men weren't paying much attention, she reached out and tugged at the hem of her skirt.

"Miss Liu, are we really going to have no chance to escape this time?"

When Jiang Lianzhu was dragging her, she also saw the wooden sign she was carrying, and Miss Liu screamed smoothly.

"Shh, don't let them hear it!"

Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Liu Yuanyuan immediately warned Jiang Lianzhu seriously.

"You must have just been caught by them. You must not know what happened during the previous purchase... There was a girl who took advantage of the chaos and tried to escape. In the end, she was drowned in the water by the second boss. Just in front of a few of us."

Liu Yuanyuan was still frightened when reminded of this matter.

She was standing not far away and could clearly see the struggle on that person's face.

Hearing this, Jiang Lianzhu understood, and then asked again.

"Then, which town are we going to on this trip?"

"I can't even name it. Rather than saying that we are going to a town, it is better to say that it is a market specially set up by a group of people...many of the stalls there are refugees, which is similar to the people in the village. An unclear relationship.”

Liu Yuanyuan replied.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a cruel gaze on her body, and her whole body froze immediately.

She raised her head carefully and met the eyes of the man next to her: "What were you two talking about just now?"

Before Liu Yuanyuan could explain, Jiang Lianzhu immediately responded submissively.

"I am new here during this period. I just asked the sister next to me to confirm with her what I want to buy. I am afraid that I will make a mistake and make the second master dissatisfied..."

"Next time, don't give me any more chirping!"

The big man rolled his eyes and then ignored them.

Jiang Lianzhu breathed a sigh of relief and followed the person in front.

The group of people soon arrived at the so-called town. Jiang Lianzhu squeezed the bag of copper coins in her hand tightly. When the group of big men were not paying attention, she took off the wooden signs on her body and hid in a clothing store. .

The shopkeeper recognized Jiang Lianzhu's clothes, and just when he wanted to shout loudly, Jiang Lianzhu covered his mouth tightly and took him aside.

"If you don't want to die, don't talk."
