Shengjing Noble

Chapter 239: More danger than good

Hearing this, the woman was speechless and didn't bother to pay attention and let her take her pulse.

It’s not that she looks down on Su Lanyin, it’s just that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.

What's more, in her eyes, Su Lanyin was just a weak girl who couldn't take care of herself. Not to mention saving her, she might not even be able to save herself.

But even though she was thinking this in her heart, her eyes couldn't help but look at the teenage girl in front of her.

She has delicate eyebrows and fair skin that is as smooth as a baby's. Although the clothes she wears are not very expensive, they are not the coarse cloth that ordinary poor people wear.

Moreover, his accent sounds like he is from another place.

The woman couldn't help but ask, "Where were you captured from?"

Could it be that this group of bullies have become so rampant that they have kidnapped people in other places?

Su Lanyin was concentrating on checking her pulse, and she only subconsciously replied to her question: "I came in voluntarily."

After saying this, the woman showed a look of shock, and even the girls standing nearby who overheard were filled with surprise.

"Are you kidding? Why would someone come here and seek death?"

The woman didn't believe her and thought she was just talking nonsense because she was scared.

After taking Su Lanyin's pulse, she took out a small medicine bottle from her bosom and poured out a pill.

"Eat this."

The woman looked questioning: "What is this?"

"If you still want to live and reunite with your daughter, just eat it obediently." Su Lanyin said coldly.

She didn't want to take it at first, but when she heard her daughter, a hint of emotion flashed in the woman's eyes, and she couldn't help but take the medicine and put it in her mouth.

After eating it, she instantly felt the pain in her body relieved a lot, but she did not feel happy at all. Instead, she felt worried and regretful.

"Why did you save me...I just want to die now."

Su Lanyin stood up, brushed off the dust on her butt, and said calmly, "Don't worry, you won't die."

The woman sighed helplessly: "Alas, you little girl don't understand anything. You don't know what we are about to face."

"They are just a bunch of scum! What are you afraid of?"

"If you had seen how those women died, you wouldn't have said that."

When the woman thought of this, goose bumps instantly appeared on her body and she covered her head in fear.

Su Lanyin took off her coat, revealing a simple and capable nightgown underneath.

She lowered her eyes to look at the woman and asked, "Let me ask again, why are so many people imprisoned here?"

The woman looked up at her when she heard the voice and noticed that she had changed her clothes. She was surprised.

Could it be that this girl really has some abilities?

If you think about it carefully, how could an ordinary little girl carry medicine with her and know medical skills? She must be a chivalrous female hero.

They are saved!

Thinking of this, the woman immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Lady, I was blind just now, please don't blame me!"

Seeing this, the others also knelt down and said, "Lady, please save us..."

Su Lanyin quickly made a gesture to keep quiet and said, "Don't let the jailer hear you, be quiet!"

The girls immediately fell silent, all covering their mouths and looking cautious, not daring to make any sound.

The woman was also helped up by Su Lanyin. She quickly explained, "I heard that the new county magistrate went to Qiu County incognito, so Wang Tao and his gang of bullies locked up all of us ordinary people."

“Why are you locked up?”

"They were afraid that the matter of the relief grain money would be exposed, so every citizen in the city took away an old, weak, woman or child from their home to threaten them and put on a show in front of the new county magistrate."

"Acting?" Su Lanyin frowned.

"That's right! Wang Tao wanted the new county magistrate to see that the people of Qiu County had received the disaster relief grain money, so he resorted to this desperate measure."

"Isn't he afraid that he won't be able to hide it for too long? As long as the new county magistrate checks the population records in the county, won't he be exposed?"

"Alas, nowadays, many people in Qiu County have fled, and we can't find them all even if we check them."

"So as long as the new county magistrate doesn't leave, won't you be imprisoned forever?"

"Ah, actually, I thought about it when I came in. We are in great danger."

Su Lanyin shook her head: "No, on the contrary, you will be safe. After all, they will not massacre the entire Qiu County."

"Then they are..."

"Yes, they will kill the new magistrate just like they killed the previous one!"

There was a fierce light in Su Lanyin's eyes. She had to leave here.

"Do you know who is behind Wang Tao?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

They are all ordinary people, how could they know these things? Su Lanyin didn't hold out much hope. It seemed that she had to find the clues herself.

"I'm leaving the cell. Don't alert the enemy. Wait for me to come back and save you."

"Lady, will you really come back?" The woman looked worried.

"Don't worry, I will be back. I will let you out tomorrow morning!"

When everyone heard this, hope suddenly appeared on their faces.

"Lady, how can we help?"

Su Lanyin thought about it, and then said: "You have to help me leave the cell!"

……

After a while.

There were bursts of screams in the cell, attracting a jailer.

"Oh no, a sister has fainted, someone come quickly!"

"Help! Someone is going to die! Sir, please come quickly!"

"Someone here fainted, could he be dead?"

……

Hearing the annoying noise, the jailer kicked the cell door impatiently and shouted angrily: "What are you making so much noise for? Shut up!"

One of the thin girls stepped forward and said, "Sir, please come in and take a look. This sister has fainted. I'm afraid she's dying!"

When the jailer heard this, he was furious!

The superiors had specifically ordered that nothing should happen to these hostages. If one of them died, wouldn't he be implicated?

Thinking of this, the jailer immediately opened the cell door and went in to check.

"Everyone, get out of the way. Let me see what's going on..."

He lowered his head to look at the fainted woman, but did not notice that Su Lanyin had walked behind him.

She struck the jailer hard on the back of his neck with her knife, and he fell to the ground unconscious.

Seeing that the jailer had fainted, the girls immediately went up to him, took off his clothes and gave them to Su Lanyin, and put her on the jailer's robe.

"Lady, now that you're wearing this bastard's clothes you can go out, but be careful!" the woman warned.

Su Lanyin dressed herself neatly and then used the dust on the ground to smear her fair face. Anyway, it was dark in the dungeon and with the hat covering her face, no one could see her appearance clearly.

"Wait, what should we do if this thing wakes up?" a young girl asked nervously.

Su Lanyin took out a black pill and handed it to the woman: "This is Mi Xiang, you put this into his nose, I guarantee that if you don't take it out, he won't wake up in ten days or half a month."

"So magical!" The woman looked curious, and then stuffed it directly into the jailer's nostrils.

"Okay, wait for me here. Remember not to alert the enemy!"

"Got it! Take care, lady!"
