Reborn! The terminally ill prince has taken a fancy to me again

Hua Zuili was still a little dizzy and weak, but fortunately there were no ropes on her hands and feet, so she barely supported her body and sat up leaning against the wall, taking a few deep breaths before she regained consciousness.

Although she was dizzy on the sedan chair just now, she was still able to maintain some sense of reason. Somebody carried her out of the sedan chair, mixed into the crowd and ran around without knowing where she went, but she was sure she hadn't left Shangjing.

The cold wind blew in through the window made of iron pillars, Hua Zuili shuddered, a little thankful that she had some thatch stacks under her buttocks, otherwise she would not have been frozen into an iceman if she just sat on the muddy ground.

With a sound of 'swipe pull', the sound of the iron chain was crisp, and Hua Zuili sat upright in an instant, her right hand unconsciously stretched into the sleeve of her robe. Fortunately, the small scissors she stole from home were still there.

The broken wooden door opened a crack, Hua Zuili stood up on one leg and made a defensive posture, staring at the open door tightly, slowly stretched out a hand, put down the bowl he was carrying, and then retracted it.

'boom'!The door was then locked.

Hua Zuili tried her best to put it up, but in the end she didn't even see anyone. She stood up while leaning on the wall and walked over, only to see that the bowl she put down was half filled with millet porridge, and there was still some white mist upon closer inspection. , Presumably it is hot.

She jumped up and lay down on the edge of the window to look out. The surrounding area was empty like the courtyard of a poor man's house. A man dressed as an old farmer sat on a boulder pier and smoked a pipe.

So... what's going on here? !Take hostages without extorting confessions or torture, and give them a bowl of millet porridge in a decent way?Or just let an old farmer watch her?
Hua Zuili took the bowl and sat back on the thatched pile again. The thick rice porridge exuded a faint sweetness. She only ate a bite of pastry in the morning, except for the fact that there was no grain of rice until now. She was indeed a little hungry, but this bowl of millet porridge But she dared not drink.

Covering the bowl and warming her hands, she pondered for a while, whoever arrested her but ignored her, presumably they didn't want to get anything from her, and used her to persecute someone, the prime minister's mansion, the general's mansion, the prince's mansion... ...Heh, looking at it this way, her role is really not small, but it can't just be like this...

She lowered her head to look at the porridge bowl in her hand, and suddenly she loosened her strength, and the earthenware bowl fell to pieces with a crisp sound. At the same time, she also twisted her neck, and her whole body fell limply on the thatch stack.

The sound of the iron chains colliding was urgent and tense, and the door was opened all at once, and the slanting sunset outside just shone on her face, but she couldn't feel a trace of warmth.

"What's the matter?!" The old farmer guarding her had never seen anything in the world, so he was frightened on the spot, and hurried over to help her, "Son, why are you..."

The sharp scissors approached his throat, and the old farmer opened his mouth wide, his throat trembling but he dared not make a sound.

"Answer my question honestly, and I won't harm you." Hua Zuili sat up slowly, and the scissors in her hands were two points closer to him. "Who are you and why did you arrest me?"

The old farmer shook his head frequently: "No, no, I didn't catch you, I listened to others and watched you here."

Hua Zuili hurriedly asked: "Who is that person?"

The old farmer seemed a little hesitant, Hua Zuili moved the scissors closer: "Say! Or I'll kill you."

"Don't, don't, don't, don't worry, I'm listening to someone else's orders. That person is completely black, and even his face is covered by a hat. I really don't know who it is!"

His voice trembled in panic, Hua Zuili stared at his eyes seriously, without dodging or hesitating, for this reason she was sure that the old farmer was not lying, so she slowly retracted the scissors in her hand, seeing this, the old farmer breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked up, he saw that the girl in red had an even weirder expression, and the scissors cut his skin against the wind.

"If you dare to lie to me, I will definitely let you die without a place to bury you."

"No, no, no, dare not, that person will let me watch you carefully, not let you run around, and won't let you do anything, and he will give me a lot of money when he comes back, I, I really I don't know anything."

Hua Zuili was completely relaxed this time, she slowly retracted the scissors, stood up and walked out while supporting the wall.

"Hey! Where are you going?!" The old farmer wanted to stop her. After all, the man in the black robe said that as long as he watched her, he could get 1000 taels of silver.

He stretched out his hand and was about to grab her, Hua Zuili didn't dodge, she raised her right hand lightly, the sharp knife teeth stopped only an inch away from his eyes, the old farmer shrank, Hua Zuili said lightly:
"Old man, this matter is extraordinary, you should not get involved in it, be careful if you make a mistake, it will be bad if you lose your life."

The old farmer stopped in his tracks, Hua Zuili walked out of the dilapidated yard step by step, the dirty and dusty streets, and three or five beggars in ragged clothes gathered in a pile, her appearance made the crowd astonished. Xixi stared at her closely, and some even licked their lips.

If she retreated back to the yard now, it would give the group of people the impression that they were weak and deceptive and could take advantage of the opportunity. She stretched out her hand and pulled out the hairpin from her bun, as well as the crystal clear jade bracelet and silver chain on her wrist.

"Do you know what these are?"

"Miss gave us whoring money? Hahaha."

It's normal for this kind of rascal talk to be said, and the less popular it is, the more it can arouse their interest. Hua Zuili listened to their nasty bastard talk and lewd teasing, just smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly:
"The jadeite ice jade bracelet is full of brilliance. Among the hundreds of pieces of jadeite, there is only such a piece of high-quality plump jadeite ice jade. It is worth 9 taels. There is also this colored butterfly double-flying glazed step shaker, made of pure gold and decorated with silver wire. A small gem on it costs at least 500 taels, not to mention my fringed and feathered corolla."

"These things add up, enough for you to enjoy happiness and happiness for eight lifetimes. There are countless beauties."

As she uttered her words bit by bit, the looks of those beggars who were staring at tigers became more greedy and naked, and some of them even started to move around, but they also had their brains to work. Hearing her words, he softly snorted, "Why, do you want to use this to buy you?" Us? You girl looks like a daughter of a certain family, if you are arrested, are you afraid that you will not be able to enjoy the glory and wealth?"

After the others heard his words, their greedy and blatant eyes shifted to Hua Zuili again, Hua Zuili was not afraid, she took two steps slowly, and said with regret: "Since you don't appreciate it, then I don't like it much." What did you say, it's just a pity that these treasures, which can clearly protect food and clothing, are still abandoned like shoes."

"Since that's the case, what's the use of keeping it!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and threw the corolla jade bracelet forward.

If people's greed is to seek more, then in the face of "lose", any small gain is worth fighting for, especially for beggars who have long regarded money and food as more important than their lives. One move is more heartbreaking than killing them.
