I dress up as a poor noblewoman, and I bring my whole family home with my literary talent.

Chapter 44 Rest 6 Resistance
Yu Youzhi looked at Yun Ji indifferently, his eyes no longer smiling, emitting an icy chill that made people shudder.

The thugs and servants from Hesi Building have already rushed down the stairs.
That group of literati finally stood up and resisted
The riot begins

The guards were well-trained and lined up to meet the enemy.

"I obey the orders of the Emperor. If you do not obey, it is equivalent to treason and you shall be executed!"

Yu Youzhi remained calm and composed. These words seemed like a formal warning. He really had no intention of leaving anyone alive. The resistance of Yun Ji and others actually saved him time.

The thugs and servants fell one after another, but they still rushed forward.
"In this case, there is no need for me to show mercy."

Swah——

The Imperial Guards cut off the head of the scholar who attempted to attack Yu Youzhi

Blood splattered on Yu Youzhi's handsome face, but his expression did not change at all.

Under the flickering candlelight, he forced out a cruel and cold smile, his black eyes seemed to be burning with dark red ghost fire, and he shouted loudly: "Don't leave any one alive!"

Just a stick of incense

The lobby was in ruins, with countless corpses lying all over the place. The smell of blood was thick and the air seemed particularly sticky.

The eight guards were covered in wounds and gasping for breath. After confirming that no one was alive, they reported to Yu Youzhi, "Sir, the traitors have all been executed!"

Yu Youzhi brushed off the blood stains on his sleeves and frowned, "Set fire."

"Yes!"

The door of Hesi Building opens again
Nine people walked out of Hesi Tower with flames on their backs, rode away on red horses.

Flames shot up into the sky from the Hesi Building. The wooden structure collapsed under the fire and soon began to collapse with a sound like thunder.

"It's on fire! It's on fire!"

"The Hesi Building is about to collapse!"

The howling sounds all around were overwhelming
A huge cloud of black smoke rose up into the sky, blocking out the sun.
In a place that no one noticed, several black shadows flashed from the eaves at high speed and fell into the backyard of Hesi Building.
Five men with ghost faces and dressed in black clothes soaked their clothes without thinking, covered their mouths and noses, and rushed into the fire.

Lu Jing used a knife to smash the window open, not caring about the holes on his clothes that were burned by the flames, and turned over to enter Hesi Building.

"Yun Ji! Yun Ji!"

"cough cough cough cough"

The temperature in the building rose rapidly, making it difficult to open your eyes.
No matter how they called, no one in the building responded.
The burning bodies one after another showed the tragic situation inside the building.

As time went on, the situation in the building became more dangerous and they could no longer stay.

Jiying held back Lu Jing who was still trying to go deeper, and urged him loudly: "Master! This place could collapse at any time. It's not safe anymore. We have to leave!"

Lu Jing's chest rose and fell violently, and his anger surged. He gave the order with difficulty: "Retreat!"

The five men moved quickly and methodically out of Hesi Building and stopped in an open area.

The Hesi Building behind them completely collapsed into ruins after the final explosion!
boom--

Lu Jing punched the stone railing with his fist, his face still showing the anger that had not yet dissipated, and he shouted in a low voice: "Why didn't anyone report it in advance!"

Jiying knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Please forgive me, my Lord. We did not receive Madam Yunji's distress signal in time. It must be Yu Youzhi who prevented the news from spreading."

Lu Jing took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, with a fierce light in his eyes, "Yu Youzhi will definitely throw all the dirty water on Hesi Tower in the court. We must not sit and wait for death."

"Follow me out of the city!"

that side
After leaving Suochun Tower, Song Lingyi walked in the direction given by Azhao, holding a dagger in her hand and keeping a vigilant eye on her surroundings.

West side of South Bridge, the night is hazy

Occasionally, a few families light lanterns in front of their doors.
It's only two streets away from Song's residence

A loud noise came from the east side of South Bridge, shaking the earth and making dust float in the air. Song Lingyi's heart trembled slightly, she looked up at the dark road ahead, closed her eyes and covered her ears, and rushed forward in one go.

"Girl...Girl..." A voice as weak as a mosquito came from the street. Song Lingyi was halfway through her run when her ankle was suddenly grabbed. She screamed in fright and collapsed to the ground.
"what--"

Song Lingyi's legs went limp, her mouth opened slightly unconsciously
After seeing what grabbed her ankle, her eyes widened in shock.

I saw a woman half-lying on the side of the road, her clothes were soaked, probably because she was injured. The originally light-colored clothes were stained with large patches of red, her lips were pale, and she was dying.

"You...you are injured!?" Song Lingyi was so nervous that she stuttered. She hurried forward to check the woman's injuries. "I...can you hold on? I'll go find a doctor right away."

Song Lingyi didn't know this woman, but with human life at stake, she couldn't care less.

"Hold on!"

As soon as Song Lingyi stood up, a weak force pulled the corner of her clothes.

She looked down and saw the woman slowly raised one hand and spread it out, revealing a jade pendant in her palm.

The woman used up her last bit of strength to stuff the jade pendant into Song Lingyi's hand

"Jade pendant...Prince..."

Song Lingyi frowned, "Persimmon? You want to eat persimmon?"

You’re so badly injured, and you still want to eat persimmons?

"Jin...shi...zi..."

"Huh?" Song Lingyi squatted down, trying to hear more clearly, but the woman had completely stopped breathing.

Lying quietly on the roadside, with a calm face and no sound
But it gave Song Lingyi a heavy blow to the heart

There was no time to feel sad, a burst of hurried footsteps came from under the South Bridge
…………

Song Lingyi didn't know how she got back to the Song residence. She was in a daze all the way and held the jade pendant tightly in her hand.

The person who opened the door for her was Azhu

Ah Zhu looked at the distraught Fifth Lady, and his heart tightened. He asked with concern, "Fifth Lady, where have you been? Why did you come back just now?"

Song Lingyi opened and closed her lips, not knowing how to speak

Azhu pulled her in and whispered, "The master brought the eldest girl back tonight, but she was not in a good condition, so the master locked her up."

After hearing the news about Song Zhirou, Song Lingyi regained some consciousness.

"He's just locked up. Madam and Master didn't pursue anything else?" Song Lingyi frowned slightly.

Azuki nodded.
A thin mist rose in front of Song Lingyi's eyes, and a faint bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Where is the person?"

Azhu noticed that the fifth girl was in a low mood, paused for a moment, and said, "The firewood room

Song Lingyi was furious and strode towards the firewood room.

Twenty square meters of cramped space
The last time, the wounded Song Lingyi was imprisoned, and this time, the person imprisoned was Song Zhirou, who was on the verge of collapse.

The moonlight filtered through the windows, casting strange shapes on the tall piles of firewood.

Song Zhirou was lying in it, with her limbs tied tightly. A row of sternums protruded from her collar, propping up her loose and shriveled skin.

boom--

The door was kicked open
Song Zhirou propped herself up in response, waking up as if from a nightmare, and stared at the door with wide eyes in fear and horror.

Seeing that the person coming was Song Lingyi, his breathing stagnated, his expression was flustered and ridiculous, "You... why... are you here?"

Song Lingyi walked in without saying a word and closed the door.
His eyes were as cold as a pond, "Why did you betray me?"

"I can not understand what you say!"

Song Zhirou didn't want to admit it at all
