When the earthquake first occurred, the three kittens ran fast and avoided the rocks and fallen trees. After staying in the mountains for a while, the kitten, young and playful, felt that there were fewer wild animals on the mountain and was bored, so he wanted to go down the mountain for a walk.
They met the white fox outside the city.
At that time, she had become the magistrate's concubine, wearing fine clothes and eating delicious food, and was surrounded by people and served by others.
Several of them were very angry. Why did she get to live such a good life? She hadn't even redeemed herself for her sins, and she was already a lady.
Before they came to settle the account, the white fox came to them on its own initiative and said that he would give them an even better life than before, with no worries about food and drink and someone to take care of them.
The white fox was timid and had always been submissive. They thought she was the little vixen from the past who had no ability to cause trouble, so they agreed to the appointment without thinking much about it.
I never thought that she was so cruel and I foolishly fell into her conspiracy.
The prefect brought a group of people with him and set up a tight net.
These birds had a keen sense of smell and as soon as they arrived, they keenly sensed the danger, but it was too late. The enemy was outnumbered and had a large net, so they were forced into the cage step by step.
What happened later was what Jiang Yue and the others saw.
These three were forced to go on stage and fight with others every day. If they refused, they would be whipped.
Even though the creatures they were fighting against were the most ordinary and weakest of the two-legged beasts, they were able to win without any effort.
But this kind of behavior of being made a fool of is a great humiliation for them.
Moreover, the daily round-the-clock fighting has exhausted their energy, and no matter how strong they are, they can hardly hold on.
It was only because of meeting Jiang Yue that he was able to save his life.
Jiang Yue did not interfere in their affairs, but only reminded them solemnly.
"Now, you can seek revenge on those who have harmed you, but I hope you won't kill innocent people. I don't care whether what happened in the past was right or wrong; it has nothing to do with me."
"But now that I've saved you, I don't want to be an accomplice to evil. If you end up like him, I won't let you go. Do you understand me?"
A few nodded to show that they understood. Then they lowered their heads and leaned towards Jiang Yue and the others. This was their most solemn way of expressing their gratitude.
Jiang Yue opened the door and looked at the backs of several people walking away. There were bloodstains on the ground, which made her feel a little desolate.
I hope they return victorious.
The white fox took a bath, changed her clothes, and walked towards the front yard without even putting on makeup.
She was wearing a pure white dress, with a graceful figure, the fragrance of lotus on her body, and her hair was slightly wet, like a blooming white lotus that was untainted by the mud.
She knew that men liked this kind of pure and seductive look. She had climbed into the prefect's house as an orphan to satisfy the prefect's heroic complex.
It has to be said that the more men the White Fox experiences, the more sophisticated the methods she learns.
The prefect was enjoying singing and dancing with a group of people, drinking and having fun. Seeing that everyone below had carried the beauty, he turned to ask the maid, "Is my aunt not ready yet?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked in barefoot. Everyone's eyes moved away from the dancing girl and cast on her. Her pair of jade feet stepped on the ground, as if lotus flowers were blooming with every step, stepping on their hearts.
"Sir~"
The white fox did not bow, but walked forward, leaned on the adult, and sat in the main seat together.
Her eyes were charming, and the adult swallowed his saliva, stroked her slender waist, smiled, and didn't care about this little thing.
He hugged the beauty and enjoyed the singing and dancing, and felt that this day was quite beautiful.
Everyone in the hall was his confidant. He raised his glass, and the people below also faced him and raised their glasses with both hands.
"Everyone, follow me, and I will definitely not treat you unfairly..."
Everyone complimented the master, and his face flushed, clearly enjoying being so admired. As the emperor was far away, he was considered a local emperor in this land, living a carefree life.
Across the courtyard wall, the common people outside were living in poverty, starving, and risking their lives for a bite to eat. Meanwhile, the lords inside the courtyard walled over themselves in revelry and drunkenness every night.
The white fox leaned against the master, its delicate hands resting on his chest, its eyes glancing at the dancers in the hall. "Master, watching this singing and dancing every day isn't very satisfying. It's more fun to watch the fighting. Have you found those beasts yet?"
The master touched her smooth arm. It was indeed more exciting to watch a fight. Thinking of those ferocious beasts, in less than half a month, they had made him a lot of money. It was the time to pay attention to it, but now all of it would be gone. Dissatisfaction appeared in his eyes.
"We haven't found it yet. They're all just trash. They actually let an outsider steal the beast without anyone noticing. There's no point in keeping their worthless lives."
The beasts were chained and caged; if they had the ability, they would have escaped long ago. Furthermore, they were injured, making it impossible for them to break through the double shackles and escape. Someone must have been jealous and stolen them.
As for the traces being erased, it must have been a thief in the courtyard, a coordinated operation. He arrested everyone and tortured them severely, but unfortunately, everyone kept the same story and refused to admit it...
"Don't worry, I will definitely have someone find him. Even if he runs back to the mountains, I will bring him back to you!"
The white fox lowered her eyes and gently fumbled with the keys. Without the keys, dragging the heavy iron cage, she doubted they could escape back to the mountain. Even if they did, they wouldn't survive long with the chains on their bodies.
Whenever she thought of the suffering she had endured in the past, she wanted to whip them again. She had only made a small mistake, what was there to atone for? It was just an excuse to humiliate her...
The white fox was immersed in the past. Suddenly, her expression changed. She took out the key ring. Under the candlelight, her face became ugly and faintly pale.
"Beauty, what's wrong?"
"One of the keys is missing." She touched the texture on it. "No, this key is not the key to the cage holding the beast!"
"Someone came in and stole the key!"
Baihu sat up suddenly. She never left the key ring without her except when sleeping or bathing. The maids who served her were all familiar with it. The only one who had changed was the new maid who came to the outer room tonight. She was the only one who had touched the key ring!
"Sir, search all the servants immediately!"
The adult stood up and said, "Stop everything!"
Everyone below was enjoying themselves when they suddenly heard the adults stop all the singing and dancing, and called the housekeeper, who immediately closed all the doors and forbade anyone to enter or leave.
Everyone looked panicked, not knowing what had happened. But seeing the adults' expressions, they didn't dare to ask any more questions.
From the guests, the housekeeper, the kitchen staff, the gatekeeper, as well as the opera singers and deliverymen, everyone was called together and searched and interrogated one by one in the front yard, causing a great deal of trouble.
Jiang Yue and the other person took advantage of this opportunity to rush into the warehouse.
