The sudden massacre in the night immediately caused chaos among the residents. The lights in the slums immediately lit up dots, and the people came out to look in horror. Some gangsters took the opportunity to rob homes, rape and plunder. The chaos quickly spread Spreading, there was the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling everywhere.
Shenjing is very uneasy these days. First, a big star official was assassinated, and then there was a night attack by an assassin from Huangzhuang. These incidents greatly aroused the court's vigilance and attention, and the number and frequency of guards sent to patrol at night doubled as a result. .
But... these are only for other areas of the Imperial City. In the slums in the southwest area, the poor people will never see patrolling guards, let alone the Shenjing Blood Guards or the Black and White Guardians.
The people responsible for public security here are the major gangs entrenched here. They have various camps, divide the areas, and occupy the king's land. Usually, the gangs are responsible for the security of their respective areas, but what they do is not because of their kindness. , but this will make it easier for them to exploit the people and collect their protection fees.
Shenjing is the most benign place. Thousands of refugees flock to the capital every month every year to seek survival. This time, the two rivers flooded, and the Gyeonggi area was hit by disasters continuously. The refugees rushed towards Shenjing like a tide. Come, and as the government, it cannot let these refugees live or die, so the court can only open a porridge restaurant to provide relief to the victims.
After all, the best place is about face.
It is said that the Huanghuang Empire is a peaceful and prosperous time, but if the emperor is starving and dying everywhere, it would be too shameful. Where is the dignity of the imperial court
But now Daqi is like a huge ship riddled with holes, money is needed everywhere, and things that seem to be vital are everywhere. Who will care about these people who are pouring into Shenjing to seek life now
Therefore, these officials gradually began to let the refugees go their own way and no longer paid much attention to the refugees. However, these refugees could not go anywhere else or stay. They gradually gathered in the southwest city, forming a population of three people. A huge slum of more than 100,000 people.
These people gathered together and were controlled by gangs. Naturally, the public security was not much better. The court was too lazy to waste manpower and material resources on governance, and simply threw them to these gangs. Then they would throw a bone to these gang leaders from time to time, so that They saw that there was room for improvement and they could use it for themselves. In this way, they could indirectly manage these refugees who gave them a lot of headaches.
In this way, the court resettled these refugees without spending an extra copper, preserving its superficial reputation; and the refugees also had a place to stay. Although they were controlled by the gangs, they survived because of this; and the gangs also benefited from this. The increased power is like killing three birds with one stone, and everyone is happy.
Although people with insight have long realized that if this continues, the southwest urban area will become a huge cancer that cannot be eliminated, but if we eliminate them, we will have to face more than 300,000 mouths waiting to be fed!
Thinking of this, even the most knowledgeable people will choose to keep silent. Even for some officials, they wish that more people would die here to save them trouble in the future!
Therefore, when this place is in chaos, there is still no guard or a protector rushing here to manage the security. Even if they only need a team of three blood guards and a black and white protector, they can completely suppress these things. people!
But... no one comes!
This place seems to be a forgotten wasteland, where chaos and darkness are the prevailing order!
That night, the Blue and White Building was the source of the turmoil. With it as the center point, a wave of waves quickly swept around. Everyone was originally a miserable poor person. Once the turmoil broke out, how many people could bear it? Going to rob homes and homes
Tonight's action seemed like a perfect move.
It was proposed by Xiao Yueping and completed by Gu Cangping.
With Xiao Yueping's temperament, he sent assassins to kill the mother and daughter and that was it. There was no need to go to such trouble. After all, there were millions of people in Shenjing. If the two dead people were thrown into the ditch, there would be no trace at all.
However, Gu Cangping always cared about Li Chengfeng's existence and proposed to let the traitor lure the mother and daughter out first, then pretend to sell them into a brothel and send them to a distant place to save their lives.
But in fact, the real killing move came from behind. The killers sent out at night killed everyone in the Qinghua Building and triggered a riot to conceal the real motivation and intention behind the riot.
At that time, Li Chengfeng wanted to trace it, but he could only trace it to the brothel floor at most, and he would never be able to trace them on this line.
But they never expected... Xiao Zhuzi to be so alert and clever.
Xiao Zhuzi was unwilling to be trapped and escaped from her woodshed as early as possible, which allowed her to escape!
After escaping from the woodshed, Xiao Zhuzi patiently hid in the bushes in the corner and never showed up. It was not until nightfall that she quietly came out and searched around the corner for her mother's whereabouts.
Xiao Zhuzi knew that Xu Niang would never lock her mother up in one of those beautiful attics. Although she wouldn't be locked up in the same yard as her, it was certainly not far away.
Therefore, after carefully observing several courtyards, she found that one courtyard had the most guards. Normally, there were only two guards patrolling back and forth. However, in that courtyard, there were three guards guarding the gate of the courtyard, and one person guarding the gate. At the entrance, two people guarded the door of the courtyard.
Xiao Zhuzi immediately judged that her mother was probably in this courtyard room!
But Xiao Zhuzi still didn't take any action. She hid in a dark corner not far away, staring at the guard at the entrance of the courtyard with a pair of smart eyes, patiently waiting for the opportunity.
Finally, after she waited for an hour, the guard turned around and said hello to the two companions inside. He turned around and walked aside to unbutton his pants and release the water.
Xiao Zhuzi immediately ducked down and quickly got in along the other corner. After she got into the yard, she immediately hid in the dark corner, using the trees in the yard to cover her figure, bit by bit. Moved towards the woodshed inside.
Xiao Zhuzi held her breath and concentrated, her heart beating fast. The temperature was bitingly cold at night, but she didn't notice it at all. She only felt that her whole body was extremely hot, and her palms were sweating. She quietly walked around to the back of the room, and then followed the same pattern. Look for small holes to dig behind the house.
Fortunately, this is just a woodshed and the structure of the house is just a mud house. Although there are no mouse holes behind the house, there is a small ditch for drainage.
Xiao Zhuzi hid behind the house, found a stone, and started digging along the entrance of the small ditch. However, it was already night, and even the soil was frozen hard, so Xiao Zhuzi dug a few times without making much progress.
But the movement here attracted the attention of the proprietress inside. She came to the wall in fear and lowered her voice and whispered: "Who is it?"
Xiao Zhuzi held back her tears and choked in a low voice: "Mom, it's me!"
The landlady immediately burst into tears!
She covered her mouth, lest she make any sound, and after a while she trembled: "Xiao Zhuzi, how did you escape?"
Xiao Zhuzi whispered: "Mom, dig out from here quickly, you can escape here!"
The landlady immediately cheered up, picked up a piece of firewood in the room, and dug hard along the small ditch that led to the water.
The two of them dug hard at the corner of the wall. They dug like this for an hour. When both of them were sweating profusely from exhaustion, suddenly the landlady heard the door behind her creak and a man pushed the door in!
