Chapter 2586 Who has the last laugh

"Oh, excuse me for disturbing you." Bai Ruozhu felt disappointed and said politely before leaving.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yichun took her hand and winked at her. Bai Ruozhu followed his line of sight and found an old lady standing a little further inside. She was washing the dishes, but she lowered her head at the moment. , shoulders were tense and seemed tense.

Bai Ruozhu couldn't see her expression, but Jiang Yichun must have seen it. This old lady seemed to know something!

She walked closer to the old lady and said to herself in Fusang: "Who doesn't have a daughter? If a good girl disappears like this, her parents will go crazy. Anyone with children at home can't bear to see it. Such a thing."

The old lady's hand slipped, and the bowl in her hand fell into the basin below, hitting the bowl in the basin with a ping-pong sound.

The old man was startled, looked at the old lady and said, "Honey, what's wrong with you?"

The two were an old couple, and they knew each other very well after all. The old man soon understood why. He looked at the old lady, then at Bai Ruozhu, and whispered, "Do you know something? Otherwise, just tell them."

The old lady was still hesitant and muttered: "What if we cause trouble? How can our old bodies hold up?"

The old man felt a chill in his heart and said nothing more.

Bai Ruozhu didn't press him. The old lady had her own considerations even if she didn't say anything. It's normal for people to want to protect themselves, and there's nothing selfish about it.

She took Jiang Yichun's hand and said, "It seems no one here knows. Let's go and ask elsewhere."

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and when she saw Bai Ruozhu and the others walking away, she sighed quietly. She felt extremely panicked.

So the old lady excused herself and went home first.

As soon as she turned to the side of the alley, she saw the pair of fairy-like young people standing in front of her.

"Old lady, there is no one here, no one will know if you tell us." Bai Ruozhu said softly.

The old lady was a little scared and hurriedly looked back to make sure that there was no one there. Then she sighed and whispered: "My old man only sells some tofu at night, but I also go out to sell some tofu during the day. I just walked to the corner of the street over there." At that time, I saw the two girls you mentioned."

The old lady casually told what she saw, and then said: "The officers and soldiers said they would be arrested and taken to prison, but I think they were right. They were still hit by others. Isn't this an injustice? Otherwise, you go to the government to see it. Look."

Bai Ruozhu felt that it could not be a government matter. Thinking of the woman the old lady said had an argument with Yaxi and the others, she described it in the same way as Huizi. The old lady nodded, "Yes, that's it, but the woman looked It’s quite fierce.”

"That's right!" the old lady suddenly shouted, "The girl with round eyes said: Huizi, you still dare to go out."

"Sure enough, it's her." Bai Ruozhu narrowed his eyes, "Thank you, mother-in-law, please go home as soon as possible."

"Okay, hurry up and save those two girls, they are so pitiful." The old lady said kindly.

After the old lady left, Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun hurried back to the post house. The two of them calculated that it was impossible for the government to help Huizi arrest people. The person who did this was either Kishimoto who fled Kyoto or General Akamatsu.

"I don't think it will be Kishimoto. He will not come back so soon after being seriously injured. Even if he comes back, he will definitely hold back his energy and do something big. He will not just capture two noble ladies. As for the soldiers dispatched, it is probably Akamatsu's private army. "Bai Ruozhu said.

"The person is probably in Chisong Mansion. Should we knock on the door and rescue him?" Jiang Yichun asked Bai Ruozhu what he meant. When his wife gave the order, he would definitely rush in front.

Bai Ruozhu thought for a while, "First ask someone for information, such as Xinye."

Jiang Yichun's face darkened when he heard this, "We can just send someone there. There is no need to trouble him. I don't want you to owe him any favors."

Bai Ruozhu rolled her eyes at him, "I helped him take over his broken leg. He owed me a favor, and I just happened to pay it off this time."

"The last time he came into the palace, he reminded us that we were already clean." Jiang Yichun said with a look of disapproval.

Bai Ruozhu also lost his temper, "Forget it, don't bother others, I'll go find out the news myself!"

As she was about to walk out, Jiang Yichun hurriedly followed her, "Bring a few more people with you so that someone can help during the fight."

Bai Ruozhu was not an impulsive person. She took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down. As a man, she was good at everything except being jealous.

Then they called Yuan Licheng, Feng Lanying, Jian Qi, Qiu Zhi, and Tang Feng to go out and went straight to General Chisong's mansion.

In the dungeon at this moment, Yoshiko and Aki were shivering together. On the one hand, it was cold at night and the dungeon was damp. They didn't even have bedding, they were just chained to some straw.

On the other hand, there is the head of a maid next to it. How can they not be afraid?

At this time, footsteps came from outside, and both of them were agitated, fearing that the other party would send something terrible in.

"Are you cold and hungry?" Huizi's voice sounded, with a strong sense of ridicule.

The two people who were still scared suddenly turned red with anger. Yaxi rushed over and reached out from the cage to hit Huizi. He cursed angrily: "You can just target me, but you actually killed my maid. You don't have to die well." !”

Huizi took two steps back, avoided Axi's hand, and said angrily: "If you want to die, you will die first, let's see if you can die well."

After saying that, she laughed faintly, "Do you think I should scratch your faces first and then kill you, or cut off your limbs and put them in an urn?"

Yoshiko got up and glared at her fiercely, "Even if I die, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"

"Who are you trying to scare? Even if you turn into a ghost, I can beat you to death. If you fight me, will you have the last laugh?" Huizi said and suddenly raised her hand, and something black appeared in the palm of her hand. , and then the thing suddenly flew up and rushed towards Aki in the cage.

"Let my baby play with you. If you are obedient, you won't have to suffer here. But if you still don't know how to appreciate me, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Yoshiko and Aki desperately regretted it. They were both frightened. What is this? Could it be the legendary Gu insect in the court?

Will it control your every move if it touches you?

They saw the black Gu insect flying towards the two of them, but suddenly stopped and landed on the head of the maid on the ground.

The two of them covered their mouths in fear, and watched helplessly as the Gu worm got in from one of the maid's eyes, and soon came out from the other eye. The head quickly dried up and rotted, and the original one could no longer be seen in the blink of an eye. Looks like it.

Yoshiko and Aki were so frightened that they screamed again, and the screams spread all the way outside the cell...
