After Princess Jiaojiao was reborn, the little general’s crematorium

Chapter 69 Rectifying the slums

After Helian Wenyu left Chu Liuge's place, she felt mixed emotions in her heart.

She felt very confused inside at the moment, and suddenly felt very tired.

In the past few days since her rebirth, she has been in intrigues with others or on the road to intrigues with others. Even though she has lived two lives, she is a little tired now.

She doesn't even know who else she can trust...

Fu Yanping rebelled in the previous life, and Chu Chuanping was full of doubts in this life. Even the personal maid Chunhua, because of the addition of Xu Weian, Helian Wen Yu could not believe it easily...

This kind of life was clearly not what she wanted, but she still made it this far.

Is it still necessary to investigate everything now and in the past? After a thorough investigation, what will happen if the truth is revealed?
  Does the truth still matter at this point?

She didn't know, and she didn't want to know.

"Let's go to the jade shop." Helian Wenyu said expressionlessly.

Now she just wants to know the truth about that hairpin.

As for what to do after learning the truth, she hasn't decided yet...

She seemed unable to wait any longer, she just desperately wanted to know the truth.

Chunhua said respectfully: "Yes."

Helian Wenyu looked in the direction of the palace and murmured: "No one can touch the things of this palace."

The purple phoenix jade hairpin can only be hers in the last life and this life. No matter who it is from, even if it is destroyed, it can only be destroyed by me.

When passing near the previous slum, Helian, Wen and Yu met the gangster Scarface and his group. From the looks of them, they seemed to be preparing to move.

Helian Wenyu looked down on such lowly people. She originally wanted to pass by as if she didn't know her, but she didn't expect that the sharp-eyed scar face recognized her and quickly saluted respectfully:

"The grassroots people have met Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

Now Helian Wenyu could no longer pretend that she didn't know him, so he could only bite the bullet and said: No courtesy, what are you—"

——She just asked this casually. In fact, she had never been interested in these things.

On the contrary, Scarface had a flattering look on his face, and said with a wry smile:
  "Returning to Your Highness the Princess, the villain bumped into Your Highness a few days ago due to lack of eyesight."

"Now the officials are vigorously rectifying this entire street, and basically all the local gangsters have been imprisoned."

"Ruffians and gangsters are not allowed to work here. I'm afraid that one day some blind gangsters will bump into Her Royal Highness."

Helian Wenyu heard this and said, "Isn't this good? It has improved social security..."

But don't look at the people in these slums. They are really willing to risk their lives for money.

It's normal for people to do hard work. The so-called ruffian industry is mainly based on robbery. In the past few years, there have been endless robberies nearby.

Scarface and the others were unable to refute for a while and didn't know what to say. Finally, he smiled bitterly and bowed:

"Okay, that's great, but..."

Helian Wenyu hated people who only spoke half of their words, so she quickly asked: "But what?"

Scarface scratched his head with a wry smile: "I'm not afraid of Her Royal Highness the Princess's jokes. You also know that social bastards like us don't know any other way to make a living except for those little tricks that don't make much sense. "

"The official incident caused such an incident, which directly cut off our livelihood..."

Helian Wenyu was displeased when he heard this and said, "Is it possible that you should be allowed to oppress the people and do whatever you want?"

Scarface retreated cowardly, not knowing how to defend himself. A younger brother was still smart and said: "So we can't survive now and are ready to move away?"

Helian Wenyu was stunned for a moment and asked: "Where to move? Do you want to change to a place where you can feed the common people?"

The younger brother quickly shrank his neck and did not dare to speak.

Scarface sighed and said: "Your Highness, Princess, don't listen to his nonsense. Isn't this villain planning to pack up his family property and join a relative who joins the army?"

"Do you have any relatives who have joined the army?" Helian Wenyu was deeply surprised. She didn't expect that a ruffian would have relatives join the army.

"I was forcibly recruited by the officials. I had my arm broken two years ago. I retreated to the border and became a householder."

Scarface said it quite calmly, but Helian Wenyu saw the loneliness in his eyes - of course, she was just not interested.

"That's it," Helian Wenyu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, as long as you are not ordinary people, for the sake of getting to know each other, if you encounter difficulties, you can come to me to solve them."

Scarface was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. Helian Wenyu's casual promise was enough to benefit him for a lifetime.

Helian Wenyu was worried that he would use her name to do bad things, so she specifically warned and beat him: "If I find out that you use my idea to harm the people, I will never forgive you!"

Scarface said yes repeatedly.

Immediately afterwards, Scarface kicked his hand and said: "Hurry up and put your bags on your back, get ready to go——"

Several of his men carried their burdens and were about to set off. Helian Wenyu looked around and felt that something was missing.

It wasn't until the group of people drifted away that Helian Wenyu thought of something and hurriedly stopped him and said in surprise: "No, where is your carriage?"

This time it was Scarface's turn to be surprised: "What carriage? We didn't call for a carriage."

Helian Wenyu was shocked: "It's thousands of miles away from here to the border, and you just walk there like this?!"

Scarface shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Actually, it's not that far. It's only two or three months' journey. It's just walking."

Helian Wenyu was speechless for a long time, and finally took out a large gold ingot from her arms, threw it at his feet, waved her hand and said, "It's better to rent a carriage from the Escort Bureau."

Scarface was stunned, and was about to refuse, when Chunhua, who had been silent until now, said, "Take it, your Highness the Princess is not short of these few crooked dates, as long as you don't do bad things in the name of our princess - —”

Before she could finish her words, Scarface had already taken over, licking his smile and saying, "That's definitely not possible."

Helian Wenyu didn't want to spend too much time here, so she turned and left.

——She didn't take these people seriously, and naturally she wouldn't have thought that a small act of kindness today would actually save her life in the near future.

Walking back to the street, the slums were the only way to go to the Jade Shop, but it was so cold along the way, which surprised Helian Wenyu.

Maybe everyone went to the temple to pray?
  Seeing this, Chunhua explained: "Recently, there has been an uproar in the imperial court and there is a war, so a temporary decline in people's livelihood is inevitable."

Helian Wenyu just smiled, not knowing what she was thinking.

This is Xuefeng’s capital!

Even the capital city under the emperor's feet is like this, let alone how poor people's livelihood in remote areas is...

When he walked through the slums just now, Helian Wenyu didn't meet any more thieves - he must have been suppressed by the government before, so he was afraid.

However, in addition to fear, there was more numbness in their eyes than last time.

Helian Wenyu didn't know what else she could do for this. The only thing she could do was to speed up and walk through the area, not daring to look at them.
