[You've been here for ten years, why are you still so innocent and naive? You shouldn't have let that sordid thing invade your life.]
[And invading... Let me tell you, this is my nature. I never saw darkness in my past life, and this is the first time I've experienced it firsthand.]
In her past life, she was dedicated to education, spending her days preparing lesson plans, reading papers, and conducting academic research. Her sources of exposure to darkness were cell phones, TV dramas, and so on.
She wasn't afraid of those things, but even if they were true, she always felt something was missing. She would never leave her home in this life, and she didn't even have a single friend. How could she possibly come into contact with such sordid matters?
More contact was through Xiangxiang, and Ji Yingying even suspected that someone was creating hype for her by suddenly getting in touch with her.
[Host, you are truly innocent and naive!]
After eating, Ji Yingying went to find County Magistrate Li. County Magistrate Li had just finished his work and when he saw her, he quickly saluted her.
"Magistrate Li, Magistrate Li, have you eaten yet?"
Magistrate Li looked puzzled, but still replied, "Not yet."
"That's okay. You eat first. I'll wait for you to finish eating and then we'll leave here. Let's go to Anmin County and disguise ourselves to see what's going on over there."
"yes"
Anmin County is probably not doing very well.
I know, but I'm worried that there might be instances of cannibalism.
Ji Jiayu, who was following behind him, almost slipped.
Exchanging children for food?
Not really!
Why do I say that?
I suspect this city lord is plotting a rebellion; he may have seized the power previously held by Princess Qi.
[In just six months... For men, things develop very quickly. Look at that old emperor, everyone's eyeing that position; he's not comfortable sitting there!]
[Indeed, the Emperor's dragon throne is terrifying. Thankfully, you, host, are unwilling.]
[Pah! I wouldn't even want to be an official. Look at me now, in this freezing weather, I can't even go home.]
Ji Yingying was just about to take a nap and just as she closed her eyes, County Magistrate Li said that they could set off.
Ji Yingying had no choice but to get up.
“From now on, Magistrate Li is my father and my brother’s father. Brother, he should be able to be our father.”
"Sure, shall we pretend to go to Anmin County?"
"Yes, let's say we're relatives of someone, and we came all the way back from out of town to look for them, how about that?"
“Okay, I’ll do whatever you say.” Ji Jiayu didn’t care much about these things; he only had one goal in mind: to protect Ji Yingying.
One carriage was provided, and Rong Yi was in charge of the coachman's position.
"Rong Yi, how are Rong Er?"
"It's okay for Rong Er, just rest for a few days."
"It's alright."
He was accompanied by several guards; although there weren't many of them, they were all highly skilled.
"Your Highness, let's clear away the dark clouds over this awful place before the New Year and give the people a clear sky."
"Alright, Yingying, you'd better work hard." Ning Qingran replied, and then instructed An Yi to protect Ji Yingying.
"Here, take this. If you have Chinese medicine poisoning, you can take one. There are more than a dozen in here, so don't be stingy."
"Thank you, Imperial Sister."
You're welcome, you're welcome.
We got on a carriage and left. It took half a day to get from Jiangnan City to Anmin County by carriage. We drove for half a day and arrived at Anmin County after dark.
This is a small county town. As soon as Ji Yingying entered, she frowned. The streets were too desolate and quiet!
"Something is wrong!" Ji Yingying stuck her head out to look. The street was not long, but she was almost at the end. There was not a single store with lights on, and no one was there.
"There aren't even any night watchmen around. That's really strange."
Just as they were trying to figure out a solution, they discovered a brightly lit and magnificent house not far from the city gate at the other end of the bend. There were women on the second-floor corridor greeting people and playing around.
There were still people greeting customers on the first floor. This street was crowded with people, vendors, and so on.
Why does this business only operate on one street?
This is the rich people's street. The street we just came in on was the poor people's street. The poor people didn't have money, and the rich people didn't want to go there, so it naturally didn't become a street.
That largest den of iniquity housed many women who were kidnapped from various places and forced into prostitution, as well as men, including Nanfeng.
[Host, you'd better hurry and save the man inside. I have a feeling that even if you save him, he'll hardly survive.]
Why?
Chrysanthemum Terrace is covered in wounds...
【Huh... I get it now. Sigh, prostitution is tragic for women, but for men... it's even worse!】
"Let's save him, it'll be a good deed. Who knows, if we pull this off, I might level up."
[Help! After the upgrade, I need cannons! I need to build them! After all, truth lies only within the range of cannons, and dignity lies only on the edge of a sword. If I get cannons, I think the rumors and gossip in this world will surely quiet down a lot.]
[Heh, you should fire a few shots at this world, then it will be quieter.]
Ji Yingying: ………
"Brother, I'm hungry. Let's go somewhere to eat. I think it's somewhere that suits my status."
"No, if you want to explore that place, I can go there. You can find an inn to rest."
"No need, brother, trust me. I'll take down that bastard official who replaced County Magistrate Li tonight."
Ji Yingying chuckled twice and laughed so brightly...but it looked so scary to others!
"Then you can't leave my side."
"Absolutely." The Northeastern accent caused everyone to pause for a moment, and then the person went out, so they had no choice but to follow.
"Hey, sir, are you here for dinner?"
"Yes, yes, your girls are so beautiful!" Ji Yingying's gaze was fixed on the girl behind the madam, and she even touched her.
Ji Jiayu couldn't stop them. The carriage was pulled away, with County Magistrate Li on board. As for the others, some hid, and some followed Ji Yingying.
"Oh dear, if the young master likes them, Mama will find him two."
"Okay, okay, find two guys who can take care of grandma. I like filial people."
The madam was stunned for a moment, but soon understood.
"Oh my, young master, it really is this!" Giving a thumbs-up, Ji Yingying was delighted and quickly called out, "Xiao Yu, reward him!"
Ji Jiayu frowned. This girl was becoming more and more unruly. He would definitely have his mother give her a beating when he got back.
Although I was unhappy, I still took out a silver ingot and gave it to my mother.
"Thank you, sir!"
"You're too kind. Please make arrangements for me. I've just come from Xinhe County and I'm very tired. Today, I'd like to enjoy a massage from Grandma."
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
The words were full of obscenity and the money in the hand made the mother even happier. She welcomed the man in and opened the private room. Inside, it seemed that there was nothing wrong.
As soon as everyone left, Ji Jiayu was about to preach, but was stopped by Ji Yingying. She stood up and walked into the cabinet, where there were all kinds of things: whips, small candles, ropes, which were so embarrassing to look at.
