The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

The guy who caused the commotion couldn't be Jiang Shi, right?

Hu Luanfei was unsure, but she was also glad that the disturbance gave her courage. At least she knew that there were people guarding outside.

Finally, he dropped his shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the person who came was not Jiang Shi, but the old man he had met in Bailian Village.

He smoked his pipe calmly, puffs of white smoke drifting in the air. He came to the door of the cell where Hu Luanfei was imprisoned, staring at her with his deep and vicissitudes eyes without blinking.

"Talk," he said.

It was only a few hours since we last met, and we hadn't had any interactions since we first met. The sudden show of goodwill made Hu Luanfei's thoughts run wild.

But I also remember the evil intentions he revealed when he gave me the local specialties.

Hu Luanfei’s first reaction was that the weasel was wishing a happy new year to the chicken.

But another thought came to my mind. Maybe I have suffered too much and my mind has become narrow, so I think badly of others. Now that the old man has taken the initiative to talk and put aside the past, I think his attitude problem can be eased.

Hu Luanfei withdrew his thoughts and looked at him with confusion and inquiry in his eyes.

The old man said calmly: "I can take you out."

Hu Luanfei said "Huh?" and his reaction was a little slow.

It’s not clear for the moment whether he is a good or bad person.

The old man continued, "I have a condition."

Hu Luanfei curled his lips and complained in his heart: I knew there is no free lunch in the world.

"You said."

The old man was not in a hurry. He stuffed a ball of tobacco into his pipe and then said slowly: "I have a son who has not yet married."

It seems correct to say that he is shameless.

Hu Luanfei immediately understood what the old man meant, "I refuse."

The old man was not angry, but said with a slightly threatening tone, "No one can escape from this prison. No matter how powerful a young man is, he can't fight against the officials."

Hu Luanfei suddenly sneered: "Master, you don't think there is no king in the fiefdom of Menghu Mountain?"

The old man was not to be outdone: "Anyone who questions us, no matter if he is a king or a bandit, will become the nourishment of the Elephant Valley."

This was to tell her that he was capable enough to become the King of Kings.

Hu Luanfei calmed down, "The local county magistrate's ability is enough to cover the sky, right?"

"I'm sorry, but there are some things I can't tell you in detail." The old man said, "If you want to get out of prison, you can agree to my terms. In addition, if you want to ensure the safety of my young master, I advise you to stay out of the affairs of Bailian Village."

"What if I said no?"

"A dead end."

"..."

"I hope you know what's good for you." After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and walked away.

The prison returned to peace, as if the noise and fight just now had never happened.

Hu Luanfei felt powerless. She believed that if no one eradicated the cancer, a county magistrate and a few instigators would be able to make Menghu Mountain shrouded in the illusion of rice husk flower.

"Tsk." She kicked the thatch beside her irritably and accidentally kicked the shackles, causing the two bones to fly and hit the wall.

As if something was touched, something suddenly fell from the ceiling.

"Bada——" it fell on the top of the head.

The stench of decay in the air grew stronger.

Hu Luanfei took the thing down angrily. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a piece of black cloth, the same color as the ceiling.

"Ugh..." It stinks! I can't even keep my hand anymore.

She quickly threw away the disgusting thing, and several mice immediately rushed over to grab and bite it.

Just as Hu Luanfei was curious, the black cloth was torn open, revealing a little bright yellow mark. The mice suddenly moved slowly, as if they were poisoned, spitting blood from their mouths, and then turned over and lay on the ground motionless.

poisonous? !

Hu Luanfei stared at the five fingers that were gradually turning black with wide eyes, panicking, and with a "whoosh" he dodged into space.

The space is like spring all year round and full of light.

Under the light, the five fingers were as black as carbon ink, with many black threads faintly visible.

The jailer outside heard her screams and rushed in. The cell was empty. The few dead mice on the ground were the gifts left by Hu Luanfei before he disappeared.

"Oh no! The prisoner escaped!"

A panicked word reached Hu Luanfei's ears. She had just finished drinking enough water and began to wander around in space.

You can't see outside from inside and you can't see inside from outside. It's like a parallel world. I can hear your voice but you can't see me.

Soon, the footsteps faded away.

Hu Luanfei was still thinking about the poisonous substance. While there was no one in the prison, she quickly returned to the cell, picked it up with tongs and returned to the space.

The poisonous part should be the outer layer of black cloth, under which is a layer of bright yellow tinfoil.

She spent a little time and effort to carefully unwrap it layer by layer, only to find that there was a letter inside, which recorded the county magistrate's corruption and bribery over the years, as well as various evidence of drug production in Bailian Village.

Who wrote this? God is helping me.

With this, will you still worry about not being able to get rid of the rice husk flowers in Bailian Village?

However, a new question stumped her.

Even the county magistrate knew about the affairs of Bailian Village and chose to go along with it. Are there any other officials in this area who can be trusted?

Menghu Mountain was already Qi Siliao's fiefdom. Apart from himself, only Qi Sili, who was at the top, could take action. If he wanted to get rid of the county magistrate, he had to get someone higher in rank than him.

After folding the letter, he was ready to get out, but was stuck with several questions.

This letter - who wrote it? Why was it hidden in the ceiling of the prison? Where did the writer go?

Finally, she was frightened by her own thoughts. If she couldn't escape, she might be the next person to turn into bones.

She couldn't afford to think too much and couldn't waste time in jail.

Hu Luanfei suppressed his confused thoughts and began to think of countermeasures.

There were chaotic footsteps outside, and many people were coming with a clattering sound.

The county magistrate saw the empty cell and angrily asked the jailer, "Who has been here?"

The jailer bowed his head: "Old man Zhang."

Glancing at the wound on the jailer's face, the county magistrate raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Did old man Zhang do it?"

The jailer said nothing, but guessed about 70% of the answer.

The county magistrate looked around the cell. The walls had not changed in more than a decade, the darkness had not changed, and there was a skeleton buried under thatch. Everything that should be there was there.

"Old man Zhang left with several people."

Jailer: "One comes and one leaves."

As he thought of something, the county magistrate said in an unhappy tone: "I don't believe she can escape from the sky and the earth. Find her for me. Search the entire Menghu Mountain. I must find her alive or dead."

Jailer: “Yes.”

Hu Luanfei was secretly worried. He guessed the county magistrate's thoughts and did not dare to act rashly.

When there was no sound outside, she showed up, crouched down, picked up a small stone and threw it outside. Only when there was no response did she dare to sneak out.

It's already dawn.

She planned to find more evidence and sneak around the county government office. But she was unlucky and ran into someone she shouldn't have run into before she could make her next plan.
