Bai Xi, who was hiding in the dark outside the yard, heard the shout and felt anxious. The princess was still in the yard!
At this time, Si Jinxing had already hidden in Xinglin Yaxu. She looked down at the hem of her skirt that was cut by the flowerpot and tore off the piece directly.
It was just the sound of a small hole being torn, but Jia Wensheng actually heard it?
I underestimated him!
After Jia Wensheng finished shouting, he strode out of the room.
He looked at the dozen or so guards who had entered the courtyard and asked, "Is there anything unusual? Did you see anyone suspicious?"
Those guards had been patrolling outside the courtyard, but they didn't see any movement at all, let alone anyone!
They said in unison: "No, sir, everything is as usual!"
Jia Wensheng walked to the window and suddenly looked at the pot of purple chrysanthemums that were in full bloom.
He squatted down, reached out from the soil in the flowerpot, and picked up a few newly fallen petals!
His eyes darkened and he shouted coldly: "Check!"
The Jia family immediately fell into a tense search, not daring to leave out any courtyard!
The person they were looking for had already met Bai Xi in an alley not far from the mansion.
Bai Xi discovered that his princess was really not an easy person to deal with!
"Princess, what I'm saying is, could you please stop scaring me like that? Scare me to death, and it won't do you any good!"
Si Jinxing ignored him and just clung to the wall at the entrance of the alley, looking towards the noisy Jia Mansion not far away!
She waved her hand, asked Bai Xi to come closer, and asked in a low voice:
"Do you know a place called Heyan? Which direction is it?"
Bai Xi stepped forward and also looked towards the Jia Mansion, saying:
"I don't know. Why does the princess ask this? If it's really important, let's go back and ask Mo Qiu to find out!"
Si Jinxing was so angry at this guy that she was speechless. She asked Qingchan to serve her personally and Mo Qiu to get information.
I don't know what's the point of having Bai Xi?!
She rolled her eyes and walked deeper into the alley!
Tonight, she has a third stop, which is outside the northern suburbs!
You can't ride a horse at night. The sound would be as loud as thunder in the quiet night. It would be strange if it didn't attract patrols!
If I were to walk to the northern suburbs, it would take me until dawn! Fortunately, there was Bai Xi, a master of Qinggong...
Si Jinxing glanced at Bai Xi. Well, this guy seems to be of some use!
When the two arrived, it was midnight, around twelve o'clock.
Bai Xi reminded her, "Princess, now is the time when the two groups of soldiers guarding the city take turns. This is the best time!"
Si Jinxing responded and asked, "Bai Xi, do you know how thick this city wall is?"
Bai Xi didn't know why the princess asked this, but he answered honestly: "The bottom is four meters thick, and the top is three meters thick!"
When Si Jinxing heard this, he understood that the thickness was twelve or thirteen meters!
She told Bai Xi, "Wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon!"
Bai Xi knew that his princess would not give up until she took a look at her, so he did not try to stop her and just stood there to watch!
In the dark night, Si Jinxing quietly walked to the base of the city wall. Her yard should be thirteen meters long!
She slipped into Xinglin Yaxu and started walking from the backyard steps!
When she came out, a damaged human figure appeared on the wall behind her!
Tsk...
This was really close to trapping her in the city wall!
She looked at the human figure and had to use the impact drill to randomly drill a few times until the outline of the human body was not so obvious.
After Si Jinxing finished cleaning up this place, he glanced to the north and saw several bonfires burning in the distance!
She walked quickly towards that side, but the bonfire looked close, but it felt a bit far away when she walked!
She looked around and pulled a bicycle out from the backyard of Xinglin Yaxu!
This bicycle was won by her in a lottery. She had never ridden it before, but now it comes in handy!
With a bicycle, the speed is much faster.
Soon, she was not far from the bonfire!
However, when Si Jinxing saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned and could hardly breathe!
What kind of hell on earth is this?
I saw countless torches lit around the bonfire!
The outermost area is surrounded by iron frames!
Outside the iron frame, about ten feet away, hundreds of police officers took turns on duty, walking around and patrolling from time to time!
Inside the iron frame, thousands of people, divided into dozens of clusters, huddled together to resist the autumn wind...
Si Jinxing hid behind a big tree, took out the telescope with trembling hands, and looked at the people!
I saw that all those people were skinny and had pale faces and skinny bodies!
Some of them curled up in balls, clutching their stomachs; some looked ashen; some crawled into corners and vomited uncontrollably...
She also saw...
Each of them had a long chain hanging on their calves, and the other end of the chain was locked to an iron frame!
She also saw...
In the northernmost corner, there is a small hill. Looking closely, it is actually a human mountain made up of hundreds of people!
Si Jinxing only felt soreness in his eyes and a bit of smoke in his throat!
In her previous life, she had seen countless corpses in the hail of bullets, and had dissected countless more in the morgue!
But now, just a few hundred people made her break out in cold sweat and dared not look directly at them!
What a great Jia Wensheng!
What a great local official!
Not only is he suspected of embezzling taxes and neglecting his duties, he also disregards human life, leaving the people homeless and disregarding their lives!
