Ruyan never knew who the real boss of Zangxiang Tower was. The person in charge of Zangxiang Tower was Mama Zhen. The reason why Ruyan knew there was someone behind Mama Zhen was because she had become a cash cow in the building.
Jane's mother told her that there was someone above her, and they were from Beijing, and warned her that people in their profession would know what they should know, and don't be curious about what they shouldn't know, so that they can live longer.
Ruyan was raised by Zhen's mother. Although she has no real mother-daughter love for Zhen's mother, she is used to obeying Zhen's mother's words [to put it bluntly, she is a cash cow who has been successfully trained].
Therefore, after Ru Yan died, she doubted everyone, she doubted her rival Ru Wu, she doubted the guests she picked up that night, she also doubted the other girls in the building, but she never doubted the mother Zhen who raised her.
"Why, why is she so cruel?"
After Ruyan was kicked out by Qi Bao'er, she had nowhere to go and ran back to Zangxiang Building, but her room in Zangxiang Building had already been occupied by a new girl, and there seemed to be no place for her in Zangxiang Building.
.
Unknowingly, she floated to Jane's mother's house.
Mother Zhen no longer accepts customers as she has grown old. However, Mother Zhen has several people who fight for her. Among them, Du Ge, who is in charge of the thugs at Zangxiang House, is one of them, and he is still the more 'favored' one.
When Ruyan left, Zhen's mother had just finished her stay with Du Gewen, and the two were talking.
The content of the topic is Ruyan himself.
Jane's mother said: "It's a pity. I have trained her for more than ten years, which is when I can make a lot of money."
Du Ge comforted her, "Don't feel bad anymore. Ruwu and the others are not bad. Besides, she was so unlucky that she saw something she shouldn't have seen."
Ruyan was confused when she heard this. Did she see something she shouldn't have seen?
As the conversation between the two continued, Ruyan realized how unlucky her death was.
——It turned out that on the night of her death, when Ruyan accompanied the guest back to the house, it happened that Ruwu, the neighbor next door, was also accompanying a guest to enter the house. Because of her relationship with Ruwu's mortal enemy, Ruyan took a few more glances.
I want to see who Ruwu is accompanying this night and whether he is better than her guest.
However, the guest kept his back to her, and the guest she was accompanying was eager to drag her into the house, so she only saw his back.
She didn't take it to heart. Girls like them who had become cash cows had to accompany guests every night except for a few days when they were young. How could she be curious because Ruwu had guests at night?
Who knew that those few glances would lead to her death.
"That person turned out to be someone sent by the boss."
Why is she so unlucky?
Qi Baoer: "..."
Is there something wrong with your focus?
Oops, my head hurts a little.
"You...forget it."
Qi Baoer fell down again, this time he closed his five senses and went to sleep.
For several days after that, Qi Baoer stayed in the inn and did not go out. Qi Kangan wanted to find his daughter, but he didn't know where she was.
The closed city seemed very peaceful, but something seemed to be surging.
It wasn't until midnight that day that a group of officers and soldiers suddenly surrounded the house where Prince Li and others were staying.
"Who did you say you were going to arrest?" Xiao Yuanzi deeply suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
The leading general had a fierce look on his face and repeated what he had just said, "We are here to capture the Hushan bandits on the orders of the prefect."
Xiao Yuanzi was so angry that he almost jumped, "How dare you, where did the bandits come from here?"
The leading general didn't listen to him. If he could talk to him properly, it was because his quality was high enough.
He raised his hand and waved, "Come on."
Here we have to push Xiao Yuanzi who is blocking the door.
How could Xiao Yuanzi let him succeed? He ducked out of the way and closed the door with a bang.
This made the leader angrily say, "Let me attack you, life or death."
If they want to strengthen their skills here, and they don't care about life or death, the Qi family army inside will naturally not sit still and wait for death; so, the battle started like this.
But, it ended quickly.
Compared with the Qi family army, these officers and soldiers were not enough to watch at all. Within ten minutes, they were either knocked unconscious and thrown aside, or they were stripped of their weapons and squatted in a corner with their heads in their hands.
The leader who was showing off his power just now had his arms removed and tied to a chair.
Prince Li stood in front of him and asked with a sullen face: "Who said we are bandits?"
His dignified third-grade prince has turned into a bandit. How can he not be angry?
The leading general could see something was wrong here. He was a soldier himself, and if he couldn't see that those who beat them just now were at least once soldiers, then he wouldn't be worthy of being a soldier.
Looking at the magnanimity of the man in front of me again, if a bandit can have such magnanimity, then what kind of bandit can he be?
This person is either rich or noble.
Looking at the man in the distance, his aura is no weaker than that of their general.
If he guessed correctly, this person must have been a first-rate general at least once.
It seems like he discovered something extraordinary.
Can···
"We are following orders."
How could he know who said these people were bandits?
He got the order and led his troops to suppress the bandits. It was as simple as that.
Prince Li noticed that this man was not panicking, and looking at his clothes, he was a seventh-grade, hundred-year-old man in the city defense camp. He was such a small role, and he couldn't possibly know anything important.
After waving his hand and asking someone to escort him down, Prince Li came to Qi Kangan's side.
"Uncle Qi, it seems that someone doesn't want us to stay in the city."
This was an understatement, as they were framed as bandits, but not only were they not allowed to stay, they were probably wanted to kill them.
Qi Kang'an did not reply to his words, but said: "The wind and waves are calm when we close the city. It is a rare quiet place in the south. I didn't expect..."
"To be able to be peaceful in a chaotic place is not normal in itself."
Qi Kangan was stunned for a moment, too.
"Prince, what should we do next? The city defense army has already taken action, and we don't know what will happen next. The general feels that it is better for the Prince to leave first."
Prince Li was unwilling to give in. He had just found something. If he left now, wouldn't all his previous efforts be wasted?!
But what Uncle Qi said makes sense. It is said that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Now he is only a hundred-year-old in the city defense army. What about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go, let's get out of the city first."
But it is not easy to get out of the city. Not to mention that the city gate is closed at night and will not be opened without the prefect's order. Let's just say that the people who want to arrest them tonight have backup plans to prevent any of them from escaping from the city.
There were several times more defensive soldiers on the city wall than usual.
It was impossible to leave the city for the time being, so Prince Li had no choice but to discuss with Qi Kang'an and decide to disperse. Everyone would hide in the city first, look for an opportunity to leave the city on their own, and then gather at the agreed place.
At the same time, Deyuan Inn also welcomed a group of government servants, saying that there was a thief in the magistrate's home, and the birthday gift that the magistrate wanted to give to Concubine Li was stolen. The whole city was now under martial law, and the thieves were searched.
Ruyan walked through the wall with an anxious look on her face, "Little Master, what's wrong, Little Master, a lot of officials came to the inn, saying they were looking for thieves, and several of them have been arrested. The shopkeeper and the waiter are going to stop them.
