Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 1673 Critical Escape

At this moment, everyone in the capital is in danger. Even ordinary people who no longer care about government affairs know that things have changed. They are afraid that if they say something wrong or do something wrong, they will be arrested by the people of King Rui who is about to ascend the throne.

"Did you hear that the shopkeeper who was welcoming guests was arrested by the Dragon Guard for making false claims about the Queen Mother who had just died of illness?" someone murmured in a low voice on the road.

"No way? Doesn't it mean that you have a big background to welcome guests?" The person next to him said in confusion.

"It's because you have a big background that you die quickly, unless you're someone from over there..."

"Hey, keep your voice down. A lot of things are still unclear at this time? Forget it, let's not talk about state affairs. Who knows where the Dragon Guard is hiding. I still want to keep this head."

"..."

Wei San couldn't help but quicken his pace after listening to these discussions.

This Yulong Guard was just established. Each one of them was a secret guard trained by King Rui. They were good at snooping for information and interrogating prisoners. During this turbulent period, I don’t know how many people were caught secretly.

He frowned, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Because of his distant relationship with the Yang family, and the fact that he had run errands for Yang Tianhua for a while, he was fine in this situation now. People would even be more in awe when they saw him on weekdays. .

Because the Yang family had joined King Rui's party, I wish King Rui had made great achievements in seizing power. Soon he would become a close minister of the emperor and one of the most favored families in Beijing.

But Wei San just felt nauseous and wanted to tell others that he had nothing to do with the Yang family, but he had experienced a lot of troubles outside in the past few years, and he was not an impulsive boy.

He made many twists and turns, and finally went around the back alley of Hua Xiangrong Beauty Shop, climbed over the courtyard wall and entered.

In the courtyard, Guizhi's face turned slightly red and she said with a straight face, "I told you not to come. What will the other maids think of me if they see me?"

Wei San looked solemn, "What do you care about others at this time? You can't delay any longer. I will send you away from the capital tonight."

"I won't leave!" Guizhi refused again, "I told you that I would stay here to help Ruozhu make money. Otherwise, what will happen to this beauty salon if I leave? I still don't believe that King Rui came to target law-abiding people after he ascended the throne. He is a commoner, isn't he afraid of being drowned by spittle?"

Wei San suddenly rushed over and covered Guizhi's mouth, "Auntie, please keep your voice down and stop talking about King Rui. The Dragon Guards are everywhere nowadays. If they hear this, we will deal with you secretly. We will deal with you secretly." You are indeed a law-abiding civilian, and you are not afraid of people punishing you openly, but if you are dealing with someone secretly, who knows?"

Guizhi hit Wei San's hand angrily, and his cheeks turned as red as rouge.

Wei San hurriedly let go, pulled her into the room and continued: "I don't know about the other people, but you are the adopted daughter of the Bai family. It is very likely that Prince Rui will cause trouble for you as soon as he is done with his work. You don't know Ruozhu yet. With your character, would she disregard your safety for the sake of these properties? She must have not sent you a letter because she was afraid that her letter would be intercepted and cause trouble for you, but she must be hoping that you would flee the capital as soon as possible. Could it be that Do you really bear her worrying?"

"I..." Guizhi frowned, and it seemed that her attitude had softened a little, "But if I leave, what will happen to these maids?"

"I can't secretly send more people out of the city, but they are just ordinary maids and have never been with Ruozhu. You can give them some money and let them hide in the market to find a living. It won't be too late to pick them up later. "Wei San said again.

"Then, what about Ruolan?" Guizhi was still worried, "And Uncle Zhang and the others?"

Wei San felt a headache and said hurriedly: "I went to see Uncle Zhang yesterday. He contacted the Chamber of Commerce and found a way to leave. I originally wanted to call the two of us, but I also have a way here. I thought it would be safer for everyone to spread out. Some of them, I made an appointment with them to meet up at the boating place.”

"Will Uncle Zhang and the others take Ruolan with them?" Guizhi was still worried.

Wei San paused. He couldn't bear to lie to Guizhi. "Ruolan made a big fuss as soon as she left the yard. Uncle Zhang planned to use medicine to confuse people and take them away, so this is the only way to try."

Guizhi nodded, no wonder Wei San said the target was too big, it was really troublesome.

She thought about it again and then nodded in agreement.

Wei San was still worried and lowered his voice and said: "Don't call all the maids to tell her that you are leaving. You must be on guard against others. Find the most reliable person to talk to her alone."

Guizhi wanted to say that all the maids here were reliable, but after thinking about it, she nodded and agreed.

Soon Wei San left, and Guizhi went back to the house to quickly pack her things. All the income she earned these days was exchanged for banknotes, which were now stuffed into her two hollow silver bracelets and the inside of the hairpin on her head.

This method was something Ruozhu once taught her, but she didn't want it to be useful one day, but she would rather never use it.

She sewed a few more sheets into the insoles and packed some scraps of silver on her body for emergencies.

There are very few people taking to the streets these days, and business has plummeted. Otherwise, based on past revenue, she wouldn't be able to hide it like this.

In the blink of an eye, at night, Wei San walked into the yard again from the original route. Seeing that Guizhi had packed up, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Guizhi would have a bad temper and would not follow him.

Another point is that he knew that Guizhi was afraid of returning to Houshan Village and facing her family, so he kept talking about leaving the capital because he was afraid that Guizhi would regret it.

He lifted Guizhi to the wall, then turned over to pick her up, and then took her hand and left quickly, but she never took it. Wei San was secretly happy. After waiting for a while, he must be with Guizhi. Branches get married.

The two of them left, and a maid in the yard poked her head out and quietly walked out of the door.

Wei San had bribed the guards at the west gate. He took Guizhi and ran all the way, and soon arrived near the west gate. As long as he got out of the west gate and there were horses he had hidden outside, he could take Guizhi and fly away.

He stuffed the guard with a stack of banknotes, and the city gate creaked open a small crack. The guard lowered his voice and said, "Hurry up and don't let anyone find out."

Just when Wei San pulled Guizhi to go out, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats from behind, and the guard's expression changed drastically, "Why did you lure the Dragon Guard here?"

He said angrily and wanted to close the door. Wei San reacted quickly and kicked him over, then pulled Guizhi and rushed out of the city gate.

Guizhi's legs were so frightened that her legs went weak. Fortunately, she was a country girl. She was used to running in the fields before, so she ran much faster than those wealthy ladies. She didn't dare to look back, but when she heard the sound of those horses' hooves, the sound became more and more intense. Close.

"You can't run away!" A cold voice sounded, and the voice of the dragon guard who spoke was cold and even smelled of blood.

A few horses followed and circled to the front, completely blocking the way of the two of them. They formed an encirclement with the horses behind, trapping the two of them in the middle.

Guizhi looked at the woman in orange on a horse in horror, and her heart suddenly went cold...
