After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 316 They won't even give us food?

Pei Yuanshi and Liu Wu both had expressions that said they had learned something.

While everyone was hoeing the ground, Song Lan didn't let Su Xianyun and the other two be idle.

Song Lan asked Pei Yuanshi to teach Su Xianyun and Liu Wu how to draw talismans.

By the time the sun had set, everyone was so sore all over that they couldn't even lift their arms.

"The sun has set! Can we go back now?"

As night deepened, everyone was overcome with joy and wept tears of happiness.

Zhao Yueli muttered to herself that Song Lan was a skinflint, making them do hard labor and not even feeding them, insisting that grains contained spiritual energy and that eating them would do them no good... Damn it!! How can they work if they're not full!!
wrong! !
Even if she was full, she didn't have the energy to work, let alone the fact that she wasn't even full.

Zhao Yueli was heartbroken.

That day, Song Lan only gave each of them a bowl of water, not a drop more!
"Go back."

Song Lan's gaze swept over everyone indifferently, without any emotion: "Let's continue tomorrow."

"what?"

Everyone felt as if the sky had fallen.

But they didn't dare to refute her, otherwise Song Lan would definitely say: "Go if you want to leave, I won't stop you. If something happens, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself. Just don't ask me for help, I can't help you at all."

The moment Song Lan looked over, everyone fell silent, trembling with fear.

They all lowered their heads, behaving as obediently as little quails.

Fortunately, Song Lan didn't actually go so far as to expose him.

Dinner was still prepared for them.

They even prepared two braised pork knuckles!

They would normally not even give a second glance to something greasy and fattening like that.

Not to mention it was at night.

But now... ha! I'm about to lose my life, who cares about being fat or not!
Who knows how much work I'll have to do tomorrow? If I don't eat more now, how will I be able to work tomorrow?
The braised pork knuckle, which was usually regarded as a monstrous threat by the women, was devoured in no time.

After eating and drinking their fill, and quickly washing up, no one had the energy to even exchange polite goodnight wishes. They went back to their rooms, collapsed onto their beds, and fell asleep within a few breaths.

Song Lan was still awake, while Su Xianyun and Liu Wu were being checked on their talisman-drawing skills learned that day.

"...It's very well drawn, don't draw it again next time."

Song Lan picked up the talismans and looked at them repeatedly, but she still couldn't figure out what they were supposed to be.
-
Unlike the peaceful and tranquil Changsheng Temple, the capital is now in complete chaos!
"what!!!!!"

A scream echoed throughout the Yang family's residence, startling several neighboring houses as well.

Besides Yang Qing, several other people were also sent back.

Unsurprisingly, these same households also emitted a long scream of "Ah!!!" in the dead of night.

These families don't live too far away.

After those screams, many people were immediately awakened.

Almost the entire northern part of the city was alarmed.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?!"

The people living nearby were awakened by the screams and quickly put on their clothes and shoes.

Grabbing his tools, he cautiously peered through the doorway to see what had happened.

Many people are wondering whether such a big commotion is a raid on homes or a palace coup. It can't be that the enemy suddenly attacked the city, can it?

Or has a demon from beyond the realm arrived?!
Everyone was filled with apprehension, and no one dared to be the first to go out and check.

They were afraid that something might go wrong outside, and that going out now would just be throwing their lives away.

Fortunately, the people from the Jingzhao Prefecture arrived shortly afterward.

"Why is the Prefect of Jingzhao here? Is there a murder case?!"

Jin Hu lived across from Yang Qing's house and could see everything clearly. He was whispering and gossiping when suddenly his vision went dark.

Looking up, he saw a small tuft of beard blocking his view through the crack in his door.

Jin Hu was about to angrily curse, "Which bastard dares to block your grandfather's way?" when he suddenly remembered that he still didn't know what was going on with the Yang family across the street.

What if he suddenly shouts here and attracts some murderer?

I wonder if the murderer has gone far?
If they hadn't gone far, wouldn't they have become so audacious that even with the people from the capital prefecture arriving, they would still dare to continue killing to silence witnesses?

Even the people of the capital prefecture might not escape this calamity.

Upon realizing this, Jin Hu immediately covered his mouth.

Cover your ears and steal the bell.

Boom boom boom!
The sudden knocking on the door startled Jin Hu, who was already frightening himself, so much so that he fell to the ground.

Oh my God!

The murderer is coming.

"The Jingzhao Prefecture is handling a case." As if sensing the movement behind the door, Jiao Bubai decisively protected his home.

It took Jin Hu a while to recover from his shock.

"The capital, the capital prefecture?"

He hesitated, trembling, and after a long while, he dared to open the door a crack and cautiously ask.

Jiao Bubai looked down at the person, his lips twitching slightly: "Did you see what happened at the Yang family's house across the street?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Hu immediately became alert.

"No!" He shook his head repeatedly.

He waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, no, absolutely no, I didn't see anything."

Not to mention that he hadn't seen anything at all, the tone of the man's question didn't seem to belong to the Jingzhao Prefecture at all.

It's more like... a murderer lingering at the scene.

They used deceptive confessions to induce people nearby to say whether they witnessed the crime.

If you reveal what you saw, the other party will immediately kill you to silence you.

Jin Hu didn't want to die.

His mother had just arranged a marriage for him not long ago.

With his wife about to marry him, he didn't want to risk his life for nothing.

Besides, he didn't see anything at all.

He only heard the noise, so he came out and peeked through the crack in the door to see what was going on.

If anything bad happens, it's better to leave with your family as soon as possible.

If you really can't leave, hiding away is a good option.

Perhaps the other party simply didn't have the patience to search and just overlooked this family.

Jiao Bubai looked at Jin Hu, who had his eyes tightly shut and kept shaking his head, saying that he knew nothing and had seen nothing, and his lips twitched slightly.

"I am from the Jingzhao Prefecture..."

He had barely uttered a few words when Jin Hu, once again extremely agitated, exclaimed, "Oh yes, yes, you're from the Jingzhao Prefecture! I didn't see anything! I didn't hear anything!"

"I was just passing by, just passing by!"

"Sir, what do you want to ask or know? Why don't you go check with someone else?! I know nothing!!"

Jiao Bubai: ...

No? Dude! I don't think I asked anything, did I?!
