Yue Rushuang and Xing'er came out. Behind the princess mansion was a small alley with no one around.
There is no place to ask.
Yue Rushuang had no choice but to go outside the alley with Xing'er and ask people.
Yue Rushuang saw a group of little beggars sitting there with a broken bowl in front of them.
hurriedly walked over.
"Did anyone come out of that alley just now?"
After saying that, he threw a handful of copper coins into the bowl.
A group of children got up and grabbed the copper coins.
There is a child with a dark face and bright black eyes.
"I sat here all day, and then I saw two people coming out, pushing a wooden cart with two wooden barrels on it."
Yue Rushuang: "Do you know where they went?"
The child was thin and small. He pointed and said, "Go there."
Yue Rushuang saw that he was pointing in the direction of Xicheng.
The child said: "I saw one of the men pushing the cart in the west of the city."
Yue Rushuang pulled out a golden hairpin from her head and stuffed it into his hand.
"Follow me. If you recognize him, there will be a reward."
Another child stood up immediately and said: "We will go with you too. Is there any reward?"
"We all know the beggars in the west of the city. Some of them have talked to each other and some have fought with them."
"Okay, after I finish my work, I'll treat you to a restaurant for some meat, plus a pair of good clothes for each of you, and money."
A group of little beggars took Xing'er and Yue Rushuang to the West City.
***
Yuxue drank too much tea and wanted to go to the toilet.
She never let anyone follow her in the house, and He Rui let her go.
As soon as she reached the back door, someone covered her mouth and she fainted.
When she woke up, there were a room full of children together, all gagged and tied with ropes.
Yuxue was so frightened that she cried.
A girl opposite stood up, jumped over and sat down next to her.
He opened his mouth and spit out the cloth in his mouth, and said crisply: "Don't cry, save some strength, the fairy will definitely come to save us."
It was Liu Yongxue who needed a beating.
Yuxue looked at her and wanted to ask who the fairy girl was. Will she definitely come?
But there was a cloth stuffed in his mouth.
"I'll help you get the cloth out, but you have to pretend to bite it in your mouth for a while so the guards don't notice it, do you understand?"
Yuxue nodded.
Liu Yongxue said: "Then don't move, I'll bite it out for you."
After speaking, he faced Yuxue's mouth, bit the piece of cloth, pulled it back hard, and hit his head on the wall behind him with a bang.
The pain made Liu Yongxue roll her eyes.
"Ouch, oh my god, it hurts!"
Liu Yongxue said.
Yuxue said: "I'm scared."
Liu Yongxue said: "Don't be afraid, I have been arrested for a whole day."
"The fairy will definitely come to save me."
"Xiangu can't live without me."
Yu Xue choked and said: "My mother can't live without me."
After saying that, I cried.
Liu Yongxue touched her with her arm: "Don't cry. If you cry, you will be beaten. Wait a while and you will pretend to be a fool."
Yuxue said: "I don't want to be a fool."
Liu Yongxue said: "It's just pretending. You don't object to anything those people say. If you pretend to be obedient, he won't pay close attention. You can only run away when he doesn't pay attention."
Yuxue nodded.
"Let's get the cloth out of their mouths, too."
Yuxue looked at the children.
Liu Yongxue said: "I don't think they are smart enough. If their secrets are revealed later, they will harm us. Let's run out and call someone to rescue them."
Yuxue nodded.
"Um!"
I don’t know how long it took before the sound of footsteps came.
"Quick, bite the cloth."
Liu Yongxue hurriedly bit the cloth.
Yuxue also imitated her and bit her.
Someone unlocked the door, took a basin of steamed buns, put it on the ground, and pulled out the gag cloth one by one.
"It's time to eat!"
Several children started crying.
"Eat quickly and get on the boat as soon as you're done."
The man roared and went out.
Liu Yongxue spat out the hair in her mouth.
"I can't get on the boat. I can't swim. If I get on the boat, I can't run away."
Yuxue also imitated her and vomited, the cloth stuffed into her mouth was not clean.
"What should we do? Will Fairy Girl come yet?"
Liu Yongxue thought for a moment.
"Xiangu's heavenly eye may have failed."
"Don't move!"
Liu Yongxue stood up and took one of the pearl flowers off Yuxue's head with her mouth.
"This is quite valuable, isn't it?"
"We threw this on the ground. If someone picked it up and took it to the pawn shop, they would know that we were imprisoned here."
Yuxue nodded in agreement.
"Are you afraid?"
Liu Yongxue thought about it seriously.
"It's still a little scary."
Yuxue had already regarded this little girl as someone she relied on, and raised her little face to look at Liu Yongxue, who was slightly taller than herself.
"It would be great if I could open my eyes."
Liu Yongxue said with great regret.
While the two were talking, they saw a man coming in. He was thin and cursing.
"You haven't eaten yet? If you don't want to eat, I'll take it away to save you the trouble of going back to the boat and peeing and defecating."
The man bent down, picked up the pot of steamed buns and left.
"Hey hey hey!"
Liu Yongxue said crisply: "There is a little man behind you, lying on your back, showing his white teeth and trying to bite you."
The man trembled.
"Little brat, what did you say?"
"Go and exorcise the evil spirits quickly, otherwise you will definitely be in trouble."
Liu Yongxue said: "My heavenly eyes have been opened. If you don't exorcise the evil spirits, you will definitely die. You will lose every bet."
Liu Yongxue imitated her mother and said, "There is Lady Liu in Daliushu Village on the outskirts of Beijing. You go to her for free. She will help you exorcise evil spirits and you will win money every time."
The man just came back from the gambling house and lost money.
"Really? I've been a little unlucky lately."
"It's too late. Let's talk next time. I'm sending you away tonight, so don't play tricks."
The man turned to leave.
Liu Yongxue rolled her eyes.
"What if I take away my money?"
"Miss Yingchun from Yingchun Tower still owes me money. It's a full ten taels. You go and get it back for me, and I'll give you half of it."
The man chuckled.
"Yingchun Girl? Oh, you little brat, you still know about Yingchun Girl? She is the number one in Yingchun Tower."
Liu Yongxue said: "You go to her and ask for the wine money she and her guests owe me. Each of us will get half of it."
"You remember to tell her to stop being sour with that man. In two years, we will be tired of each other."
The man looked at her.
"Really or not? There are as many as ten taels?"
Liu Yongxue said: "Of course, Zhou Fuhu from Dahe Village is her regular customer. Two taels of silver and a pot of wine, one time..."
Liu Yongxue hated Zhou Fuhu from Dahe Village the most, so she casually settled on him.
"One time..."
Liu Yongxue didn't know how to count, so she checked pot after pot in her mind.
The man said: "Five pots, five pots are twelve taels."
Liu Yongxue said crisply: "Yes, it's the Five Pots!"
The man gave her a cold look: "Don't play tricks and be honest."
The man went out and locked the door.
Liu Yongxue arched towards Yuxue.
"Yingchun and Fairy Girl know each other. If I lose it, my mother will definitely ask Miss Yingchun to help find it."
"As long as he goes, my mother will know."
Yuxue nodded confidently.
***
Yue Rushuang followed a group of beggars to the west of the city.
There was a man named Xiao Sanzi who went to ask a familiar person. He showed his height and appearance, and finally found out that the man was called Chen Er. He had no real business and was fond of gambling and prostitution.
Yue Rushuang drew a portrait according to what the mistress said and gave it to Cang Qing, and the two of them looked for it separately.
He Rui mobilized people from the Kyoto garrison and government officials, all wearing plain clothes to mingle with the crowd, and also had people guard the city gate secretly.
The main reason is that they are afraid that the kidnappers will kill and silence them.
Even the emperor was furious.
***
The four girls in Yingchun Tower in spring, summer, autumn and winter are at a loss.
Aunt Liu Xian came to them and said that Liu Yongxue was lost.
Kidnappers usually sell people to dirty places like this, or to dental shops in other places.
Liu Xiangu's fairy spirit was gone.
Like a headless green clover, he went to places where Liu Yongxue might have been and asked people everywhere, completely losing his previous calmness.
When it got dark, a small man entered the Yingchun Building.
