Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

After a pause, the man with drooping eyes softened his tone and rubbed his eyes with his sleeves that were blackened to a greasy shine.

"My brothers and I were originally refugees who had fled here from famine. Because we had no tax money to enter the city, we could only wander around outside Changzhou.

During the day, they survived on two meals of disaster relief porridge provided by the government, but they were still not full.

My poor old mother died of starvation on the road to escape famine, and my old father also... "

"If you were just an 'ordinary' disaster victim, how could anyone have the 'insight' to ask you to kill people?" Luo Xiaoran interrupted his pitiful words and pushed down the knife on his neck.

"Lady, please spare me! Lady, please spare me!" The man with the drooping eyes begged for mercy.

"We are really just ordinary disaster victims. We were just doing some robbery outside the city when we were seen by those two girls. They came after us. I really didn't lie to you."

"What do those two young ladies look like?"

"They were wearing veils to cover their faces, so we couldn't see their faces clearly. One of them came up to us and gave us instructions.

The other person was standing behind. After the young lady finished talking to us, she whispered something to the person behind her, and then the two of them left together.

From this perspective, they look like a master and servant, and the one standing behind is the real mastermind.

"Let me see the portrait." Luo Xiaoran vaguely felt that this matter was strange. Since the person who came to assassinate her and Qiu Niang must be someone who knew them.

But according to Qiu Niang, she was just a well-behaved scholar's wife and should not have any enemies.

As for her original body, she was already dead, so she was able to revive through the body.

What was the cause of the original body's death? Was this incident aimed at the original body?

"Well, good, the portrait is in my arms, I'll take it out right away."

"You don't have to take it!" Luo Xiaoran stared at him and called to Uncle Li behind him, "Uncle Li, please help me search his body."

Uncle Li came over, pressed the man's shoulder, reached his hand into his arms, and quickly took out two pieces of paper.

When I opened it, I saw that it was indeed two portraits of women. One of the paintings was very detailed, depicting Luo Xiaoran's appearance very realistically, while the one of Qiu Niang was much more perfunctory.

Qiu Niang: It turns out that you are not looking for me.

Luo Xiaoran: ······It seems that these people are coming for me. Could it be that I was accidentally bumped into by someone my original self knew, or someone who was my original self’s enemy?

Since he was seen by someone, and that person only asked to kill himself and Qiu Niang, it means that the mastermind behind the scenes only saw himself and Qiu Niang, and did not see Uncle Li and Xiao Xingchen who were with them.

At that time, the four of them went together to buy a carriage in Changzhou City.

Uncle Li, Xiao Xingchen and Qiu Niang went together to take daily necessities. Uncle Li asked Qiu Niang to take some of his daily necessities with her, and he and the others went in two different groups to buy food at that time.

The only time he and Qiu Niang were alone together was when they went to the clothing store, and then they went to the bookstore. It was probably during that period that they were seen by their original enemy.

They also watched a lively scene in the garment shop where several women were vying for the favor of the new prefect of Changzhou.

Later, I went to Xurixuan and just bought a few books. There was nothing wrong with it.

Where was he recognized?

"Did she tell you to kill me and then go see her with some evidence? It can't be my head, right?"

"She said you have a golden hairpin on you and asked us to take it to her. When she sees the hairpin, she will give us the reward."

Luo Xiaoran sneered, "Then she isn't afraid that you will run away with the golden hairpin!"

"She won't run away. The reward she gave is much more than the price of the gold hairpin."

Luo Xiaoran, who only has one gold hairpin on her body, is the most valuable: ······

"After you succeed, how will you meet?"

"She said you are a weak woman who knows nothing." She looked at the knife on her neck and swallowed her saliva. "We can succeed tonight. Let's wait for her outside the city tomorrow with the golden hairpin."

She lied to us. A weak woman could point a knife at someone's neck without batting an eyelid. These two bitches hid behind the scenes and pushed their brothers out to die!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He simply closed his eyes and continued:

"She also said it would be best to rape you first and then kill you, so that you die in as much pain as possible.

It was really her who ordered us to do it. She looked like a daughter of a noble family, and we were just helpless victims outside the city.

She said that if we didn't do as she said, she would have the government stop providing us with porridge, and then we wouldn't even have food to eat.

She threatened us to do this, lady, you need to be more careful. "

"Wow, Caicai, your enemy is so cruel. Did you do something wrong to him that made him hate you so much?"

Uncle Li not only watched the fun from the sidelines, but also planned to add fuel to the fire.

"Grandpa, my sister is so nice, how can you say that to her!" Xiao Xingchen quickly stood up for Luo Xiaoran.

"That's right! Uncle Li, we have been with Cai Cai for so long, don't you know what kind of person she is?" Qiu Niang also quickly responded.

Luo Xiaoran was sure that her character was still okay, but she really had no idea what her original self was like.

The original body is dead, the past is gone, and now the owner of this body is her, Luo Xiaoran!

She didn't want to pursue the affairs of her original body. Her greatest wish was to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to farm, cook delicious food when she was free, and live a leisurely, simple and happy life.

But the "killer" has come to her door, and based on what Uncle Li and his friends have learned about Cai Cai's character during this period, it would be very abnormal if she did not seek revenge.

How about taking the golden hairpin back to them and reporting back?

No, this gold hairpin looks very valuable. It must be enough to buy a lot of land and grow a lot of crops. I can’t give it to you!

Luo Xiaoran stared at Diaoshaoyan with an expressionless face, which frightened Diaoshaoyan so much that he trembled continuously, but in fact, his brain was frantically thinking about how to deal with this matter.

Qiu Niang put her hand on Luo Xiaoran's shoulder, "Cai Cai, let's rush back to Changzhou overnight to see who the young lady behind the scenes is?"

"Sister, let's go beat the bad guys!" Little Xingchen's eyes widened.

"Hey, nonsense, a child shouting about fighting and killing all the time, what a mess!"

Uncle Li patted Xiao Xingchen's butt gently, and then said to Luo Xiaoran excitedly:

"Cai Cai, how about I remove the arms of these people first, and then reattach them when the mastermind comes tomorrow." Take me there, take me there, I'll help you beat them up!

Luo Xiaoran’s stern face could no longer hold back: Aren’t you in a hurry to go north?

Since everyone wants to join in the fun, then...

"I will rush back to Changzhou tonight, and will rush back tomorrow morning after finishing my work. Please wait for me here for half a day tomorrow."

I won't take you with me, haha~~
