The old lady is reborn

Chapter 161 Escape

Bai Shengxue smiled: "I am going against her just to get my man back." Then, she hugged one of my arms and said, "It's fine for me to stay with you. I don't care about Mochou's position."

With one of his arms held by her, he looked down at the woman who had her face pressed against his arm and asked her, "The fourth floor is where Xiao Chunfeng makes the most money. The other girls use their bodies to make money and then take a cut.

Miss Mochou gets the same commission as other girls, but her bonus is huge...are you really not tempted?

As Miss Mochou, apart from serving the Lord from time to time, I no longer have to deal with other guests. I can put on my clothes one by one and meet people when I am dressed up..."

It seemed that he wanted to continue talking about the benefits of being Miss Mochou, but Bai Shengxue sighed: "I don't care about these benefits.

But whenever I think about how I knew all these benefits but was willing to give them to her, I feel sad. "

After hearing this, he glanced at Bai Shengxue, suddenly stood up and picked her up: "Let's do something happy."

When I left at dawn, I felt refreshed.

Han Min, one of the guards on the underground floor, felt a little dazed that night. Although there were always some strange noises on this floor, he felt something was wrong that night.

Han Min began to check one by one, until he walked past a room and was touched by a look that flattered him.

He walked into the room and closed the door. But when he was happily hugging the woman and touching her, he was suddenly surprised to find that there were four girls in the room and he had locked the door.

In shock, he didn't even have time to scream before he was hit hard by a candlestick and saw stars.

Then a hairpin poked out one of his eyes, and as he howled in pain, something was stuffed into his mouth. Besides the candlesticks, a chair also exploded on his head. Four tortured women were venting their anger.

Han Min struggled to walk towards the door. Even though he only had one eye left, he had now calmed down after being ambushed by them in the first place.

These women used unknown tools and dug through the walls between two rooms in the corners of the room where there was no visible angle.

He started by grabbing a girl and beating her to death, and when he had knocked one girl down, he would beat the second one!

Whoever stops him from opening the door will die!

There was a girl who seemed frightened by his crazy counterattack and stood aside at a loss.

One girl was being beaten, and the other two girls were fighting back with all their might, but they seemed unable to win. The situation seemed to be developing in a direction that was favorable to Han Min.

But two more girls came out from the hole in the wall of the room, one of them holding a candlestick with a long thorn for inserting candles.

Seeing such a critical situation, she immediately rushed over and stabbed the sharp end of the candle into Han Min's neck. The first time, the second time, by the time Han Min reacted, blood was already pouring out.

But he still wanted to walk towards the door. He was going to die, but they would not live either. The closer he got to the door, the faster his blood flowed. A chair hit his head again and he finally fell down.

The girls held the quilt on the bed to block the blood. There were big boxes in each room, which contained various instruments for torturing them, and they even found a hairpin.

But now they wanted to quietly gather more girls and then rush out together. As long as they could get to the first floor and get to the gate of Xiao Chunfeng, they might be able to survive.

The six girls crawled into the hole in the wall and carefully came to the next room. Usually these holes were covered with beds.

The excavated soil was spread evenly on the ground bit by bit. Anyway, unlike the upstairs, which had a floor paved with bluestone slabs or wooden floors, the land here was originally sandy and gravelly.

Based on the guard changes, the girls estimated that they appeared at dawn.

Just when it is dawn and turning into daytime, there are the least customers and it is the best opportunity.

When another guard walked to the room where Han Min's body was, he knocked on the door and said, "Han Min, hurry up! I need to go to the toilet!"

The girls were terrified that he might open the door.

One girl shouted boldly, "Han Tou is having a good time. It's so boring to interrupt his fun! Why don't you go to the toilet by yourself? Do you really want Han Tou to accompany you?"

Another girl asked, "Do you want to use the toilet in my room?"

The guard whipped him viciously and walked away cursing.

This is the best opportunity!

There are twelve rooms in total whose walls have been dug through, but they are divided into two sections by the parts that have not been dug through, with six rooms connected to each other at two places.

At first, the six girls opened the doors of many rooms, but they didn’t have time to open the doors of the rest, so they could only leave Han Min’s key chain and let them try by themselves.

A total of twenty girls rushed to the first floor and then rushed out of Xiao Chunfeng's door.

This is the last step, the shortest and longest distance.

The guards on the first floor and at the main gate stopped the girls tightly.

When the guards saw that they were unable to stop the women, they ordered the girls on the first floor to pull the women back. Those who watched and did not pull them back would be reported and severely punished!

Many of the girls on the first floor were new and were very afraid of being punished. Most of them didn’t know what the underground floor meant. Why were these women rushing out? So they went over to stop them.

Because of this delay, the guards on the second and third floors also rushed downstairs to help. Twenty girls failed. Some of them even pushed open the door and saw outside, but were dragged back.

When they finally realized that the situation was hopeless, five girls either banged their heads against the wall or pulled out the hairpins of the girls on the first floor and committed suicide.

The rest who didn't make it in time were taken back to the basement.

Bai Shengxue was watching on the third floor. She felt nervous for these girls in her heart, but her face was full of indifference, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Seeing that the situation had calmed down, she returned to her room.

Not one escaped.

Was what she did right? Bai Shengxue had been thinking of various ways and taking advantage of various opportunities to bring some "little things" to the basement through meals, guests, quilts, and shoe clips for more than a year.

As far as she knew, there were other girls on the second and third floors who were doing the same thing as her. She was doing it for revenge, and those girls were doing it for their friends who were locked up in the basement.

But, are they all wrong?

Not one escaped.

That night, Bai Shengxue found out that not only was Han Min dead, but three girls from the basement had also escaped.

The guards who had gone to buy breakfast on the basement floor and the guards who had gone to the toilet came back and, seeing this situation, stopped people at the first-floor gate.

On the underground floor, a girl dug a hole, first going downwards and then upwards, leading directly to the outside. Three girls escaped through that hole.

After the master went to see it, he asked his men to check the background of the three girls to see if any of them were descendants or apprentices of the tomb robber.

This skill of digging tunnels and the ability to accurately judge directions seem to have a source.

Han Min's death made Bai Shengxue feel much better. She glanced at Feng Qi, who followed her master closely, and her gaze slipped away again.

The guards in the underground had committed a serious dereliction of duty. Except for Han Min who had died, the rest had not ended up well. Bai Shengxue had never seen those people again. She didn't know whether the master had killed them all in a rage, or had "exiled" them somewhere after being punished.

Soon there were new guards in the underground level, and those who were brought up were very happy.

After all, the guards in the basement can often do whatever they want to the girls, and the commission they get from the basement is quite generous. In addition, the guests who come for entertainment often give the guards some extra money so that they will pretend not to hear anything they heard.

So this job is considered to be a lucrative one, with money and women.

Bai Shengxue discovered that someone wanted to be a guard on the underground floor through Feng Xin's connections, and these two people actually got the job...

...dividing line

The news of the disaster in the three counties began to spread in Kyoto in the form of gossip about ten days after Rong Huaiyuan left.

Later, this was also confirmed by an official public notice to stabilize grain prices. After all, the reason for the first sentence was the disaster in the three counties.

The six kings hiding in Niujiagou decided to leave Kyoto. This was a godsend opportunity.

Before leaving Kyoto, the Sixth Prince sent people to the rice shop and Xiao Chunfeng to ask, "Is it convenient to travel far away?" and "Is everything going smoothly?"

The news I got was not very good. It has been raining a lot and the wind is strong recently, so it is not suitable to go out.

After receiving such a reply, the Sixth Prince hesitated. One of the guards beside the Sixth Prince said jokingly, "Go ask them if it's okay for them to stay here. It's definitely not okay."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. The Sixth Prince actually sent someone to ask. As expected, just as the guard said, Mi Dian and Xiao Chunfeng both said that staying in Niujiagou was also very dangerous.

In this case, there seemed to be nothing to hesitate about. After a few days of delay, the Sixth Prince decided to leave the capital.

Every road out of the capital was covered with visible and hidden checkpoints. The six princes and three or four trusted followers were targeted as soon as they appeared.

The six princes thought their disguises were very clever, but they were useless. As the encirclement continued to shrink towards the six princes, someone suddenly shouted, "Be careful, refugees are coming to Beijing!"

Everyone looked at the huge wave of refugees. The victims from Wan'an County, one of the disaster-stricken counties closest to Kyoto, had already flocked to Kyoto. They rushed over like a tide hitting the shore and merged into the original crowd. No matter which direction the original crowd was from, after they joined, there was now only one direction, the direction of the refugee tide.

The Sixth Prince and his followers disappeared in the crowd.

It took a whole day and night for the refugees to be led into the vacated manors in the counties surrounding Kyoto and properly resettled.

According to Rong Huaiyuan's urgent report from the 800-li journey, although he and local officials had set up resettlement points along the way to disperse the flow of people, there would probably still be a certain number of refugees who would arrive in Kyoto.

Based on his estimated number of people, he suggested setting up resettlement sites in counties surrounding Kyoto.

Although these resettlement points were quickly set up, a few days later, when a large wave of refugees poured in, everyone was swept away and lost their original direction.

It was not until the tide of refugees was gradually cut into small "tides" by the streets of Kyoto that it gradually seemed to lose its vitality and stopped.

All the officials of Jingzhao Yin were mobilized, and the minor officials of the six ministries of Kyoto were assigned in advance to guide the refugees from various districts to return from different exits of Kyoto. When they were halfway through the journey, the Imperial Guards took over.

There were also refugees who, after walking a distance, did not want to go any further and wanted to rest on the spot, but then they heard people in front of them say that a big porridge pot and a cake stall had been set up outside the city, so they left the city one after another.

Sure enough, people were lining up to get the pancakes. Walking further out, there were water tanks lined up along the way, stretching as far as the eye could see, with many ladles floating on them, so people could drink water at any time.

When they arrived at a village in the surrounding counties, they would let some of the refugees in, and then they would immediately set up a big pot and let the refugees work together to cook porridge and hot soup.

From the imperial court to the common people, almost everyone in Kyoto stayed up all night. After a whole day and night, everyone seemed exhausted.

Song Ying provided three farms for the refugees to rest and settle.

Fearing that something unexpected might happen and that the three village heads would not be able to handle it, she rushed there early in the morning out of worry.

Huai'an and his colleagues at Jingzhao Yin were busy all day yesterday and had no idea how many times they had been on the verge of life and death.

As soon as the refugees entered, the six killers split into three factions.

One group planned to take advantage of the chaos to attack. Jingwei was one of those who advocated the action.

One group felt that it was not the right time. If they took action, given the current situation, not only would they easily injure others, but they might also not be able to escape.

Another group said to wait until the refugees were resettled.

During the day, the six killers were all wearing ordinary old clothes, which made them inconspicuous in the crowd. When they saw the refugees entering the city, they all smeared their faces with dirty clothes and looked like refugees.

Because of disagreements, the few people met briefly and then separated, and all agreed to wait and see the situation.

But as we watched, we saw that two people from the last group were already helping out in the crowd, carrying children who couldn't walk and supporting elderly people who were prone to falling.

The two people in the middle were a little confused: Was it to get closer to the target person Rong Huaian more naturally?

They had nothing to do anyway, so they followed behind. If they saw someone about to fall, they would help them up.

Jingwei and another person belonged to the first group that wanted to take action. Seeing this scene, they were extremely annoyed.

Jingwei knew that there was such a person. There was one in the Third Prince’s Mansion before. He was obviously a killer who had no say in anything and he also cared about the people of his country and the world.

Jingwei tried hard to be a good killer in order to survive, and the other killer said, "A good minister chooses a master to serve." The third prince is wise and steady, he will accomplish great things in the future, be a wise ruler, care about the people's livelihood, and bring peace, which will be a blessing to the world.

Later, he probably realized that the wise ruler in his mind and the hope for the future of the world were not what he had imagined.

He kept repeating "I was wrong, I was wrong" every day. His hair was falling out in clumps at a young age. Seeing that he was distressed, Jingwei advised him to run away and go to another place to "choose a good master." But he said he would not eat Zhou's grain and would not serve two masters.

Jingwei was confused by him. Isn't it "a good minister chooses his master"? Does it mean that he can only choose once?

Later at Eagle's Beak Cliff, the Third Prince also needed some people who were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect him. This fool became one of the guards who were not told the truth. He risked his life to protect the Third Prince, who was unlikely to get into trouble at Eagle's Beak Cliff, but the Third Prince gestured to kill him from behind.

Jingwei shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes for some reason. It was after that fool died that she made up her mind to leave the Third Prince.

There are still fools like this nowadays. Jingwei looked at the two who helped the refugees. They both became independent traders, took odd jobs, and worked for the underworld. Do they still want to be good people?

Would anyone consider them good people? What do they think?
