Tsundere Prince Concubine: The prince kneels down and sings to conquer

Chapter 871 The Truth
The old man took the pancake and ate it, but she seemed to swallow it without chewing.The pancake got stuck in her throat, and the old man lay on the ground, drinking the rainwater accumulated last night.

Tianyu took two steps back, startled by the old man's sudden movement.The rainwater on the ground is so dirty, drinking it will definitely cause stomach upset.She quickly took the kettle and held it in the old man's hand: "Old man, have some rice soup."

The old man thanked him repeatedly, took a deep breath after eating the cake, and said, "I just heard from you two that you two came from other places? How did you two get into the city?"

"There is a hole at the west entrance to the north of the city, and the two of us got in." Tian Gui replied.

"What the woman said just now is correct. This is not a place for people to stay. Before the government finds you two, you should leave quickly."

"Old man, we didn't know the situation when we just arrived here. What happened to the desolation here? Could it be that there is also a disaster in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"It's a disaster, but it's not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!" The old man sighed, his tone full of desolation.Her eyes seemed to be unable to see anything, but a cloudy tear still flowed from the corner of her eyes.

"What does that mean?"

"Since you gave me food, old woman, tell the truth to you two, don't look at the people here who dress so well, they are all fake. We can't leave Jiangnan, where these jewelry can't be exchanged for money, We can’t eat a single meal a day, and the men are all locked up as coolies, except for the prosperity of the main city, this is the scene in the south and north of the city.”

Tianyu was stunned when she heard this, no wonder she seldom saw men on the street, it turned out to be like this.

"Men locked up as coolies? What kind of coolies?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen my son for a long time. I heard that he was sold to other places and served as a slave to a landlord and official. The women and children here are also very pitiful. Some women have to exchange their bodies for food. Children who have reached the age of seven, regardless of gender, must be locked up in a place called the "Shan Xuetang", which is said to teach children to read, but in fact it is for the rich to have fun."

Tian Gui was startled, and was about to speak, but the old man interrupted the two of them: "That's enough talking, you two should leave quickly, look at these people around here, they have already made up their minds to rob you!" Dry food. It’s too dangerous here, so let’s go as you come here.”

The old man gave up and stopped talking.Seeing that there was nothing to ask, Tian Gui took out some steamed buns from his body and stuffed them into the old man's arms.They stood up and walked to a secluded place.

"Brother Tiangui, what shall we do next?"

Tianyu asked.

"Let's go back and report to the master first." Tiangui said.

Tianyu nodded, and the two of them left here after thinking so.But they stopped when they crossed an alley.Tianyu took out a flying needle, turned around and shot towards a place, only to hear a scream from there, followed by the sound of a giant falling down.

Seeing this, Tianyu and Tiangui quickly chased after him, only to see a man lying there with a ghost mask on his head, holding the needled leg and screaming.

Tianyu pulled the mask off the man's head. Under the mask was a strange face. Tianyu put the dagger in his hand on the man's neck, and said fiercely: "Say! Who told you to follow!"

The man didn't reply, he gritted his teeth fiercely, frowned and fainted, and then black blood came out of his mouth.Since they left the west entrance of the city, this person has been following the two of them, Tianyu and Tiangui deliberately went to a side alley to capture this person.
