Zhou Ying faintly felt that something was wrong.

She said that she and Zhou Jue were illiterate, and Cai Ye casually took a piece of jewelry as a token, which was indeed as she expected, but Cai Ye didn't ask her what her surname was, where her home was, and who was in charge of the family, so she directly took the token and prepared to blackmail.

I'm afraid that only Cai Ye has already stepped on them and aimed at them, this one explains.

Pushing back like this, the person who played a hundred tricks yesterday missed and injured people, causing chaos, I am afraid it was not an accident, but man-made. Otherwise, it would not be possible to explain the coincidence that day, she and Zhou Jue had a difficult time going out once, and they encountered that kind of mess, and her sister and brother were separated from others in the blink of an eye.

But Zhou Ying thought about it and felt that it was not quite right.

From the skillful routine when besieging Zhou Ying and the others yesterday, to today's dungeon that is a few years old, it shows that this Cai Ye is not a novice in this business, and he can lead such a vote of people to be a human trafficker at least a local snake.

Since Cai Ye is a local snake and a veteran, it is impossible not to investigate the identity and background of their sister and brother after stepping on the point.

Maybe Cai Ye's level is low, and he can't get in touch with the upper echelons of Jinfu officials and businessmen, and he doesn't know that there are nobles who come to Jinfu and live in this mansion. But even if Cai Ye didn't know the origin of their sisters and brothers, he only thought that they were the children of the original owner of the house, but the original owner of this house was not an ordinary person, although it was not as generous as Zhou Ying, but the ransom that could be paid would definitely make Cai Ye's heart move.

So why didn't Cai Ye, who saw the money, move the extortion before, but now he does?

There is only one possibility, the premise she assumed was wrong, Cai Ye did not step on it in advance, and did not take the initiative to target her and Zhou Jue.

No, if you think about it carefully, the only person who was targeted at the beginning was Zhou Jue.

Zhou Ying lowered her head and brushed it again.

On the premise that Cai Ye did not step on the point, he knew about Zhou Jue and Zhou Ying's deposits, and knew early on that the two of them would appear in Li City at that time. Because of this, Cai Ye was able to arrange manpower around the Baiju stall in advance, and in the case of sudden changes and chaos around him, he could also accurately find Zhou Jue, and after she escaped with Zhou Jue, she persevered in chasing for so long before taking down the two of them.

Zhou Ying's heart gradually sank, I am afraid that someone deliberately hired Cai Ye to kidnap Zhou Jue. And those who know Zhou Jue's identity and can report the news in time will only be the people in the southern patrol team. Who could it be?

As for whether the people behind this scene want Zhou Jue to die or him to disappear, these are unknown.

But it is not difficult to guess from the tone of Cai Ye and Sister-in-law Wu that it is common for this group of people to act in a disobedience, making two sums of money at a time, one is to buy murder money, the other is to use waste, and then sell it again to make a profit. But now Cai Ye knows that her sister and brother are either rich or expensive, and their safety can be guaranteed for the time being, but I am afraid that Cai Ye will also blackmail her family, and even bite back, to blackmail the person behind the curtain to add money.

No matter how Cai Ye acts, since the people behind the scenes are in the southern patrol team, I am afraid that the news of both aspects will reach his ears. If the people behind the scenes jump over the wall in a hurry, make a mess, and are caught by the Royal Foresters, it will be over.

I'm afraid that this person will be ruthless and pay a lot of money to buy Zhou Jue's life, which will be a bad thing.

Therefore, Zhou Ying can't passively wait for rescue, she must save herself.

Sister-in-law Wu put away the silver, took a box of plasters, and threw it at Zhou Ying's feet, "Erase it yourself, don't really die." ”

Zhou Ying was so painful that it was difficult to bend over, so Zhou Jue picked it up obediently, "Sister, I'll give you medicine, right?" ”

Zhou Ying took it, "I'll take a look first." She lifted the lid, and inside was a lard-like paste, milky white, which looked good, but I didn't know if it was good or not. She thought about it and tried it on the wound on her hand first to see if there were any drawbacks.

Next, Zhou Ying no longer acted rashly, and only ate on time. Thinking about the other day, she was afraid that her stomach would be delicate, and the stalls on the road didn't dare to eat casually, but now this porridge is half-rancid, and the cake is so hard that she can swallow it, and she can't help but laugh at herself.

Every day, except for Cai Ye, who guards this small prison, this group of people will come to rotate.

Therefore, Zhou Ying counted a total of nine people in this group, eight men and one woman, who looked like they had big shoulders and round waists, and none of them looked like good stubble. However, most of the time it is Sister-in-law Wu who comes to watch the prison, from Sister-in-law Wu's eating and drinking, Zhou Ying knows that it is not that Sister-in-law Wu has more time, but that the other few are lazy, and would rather take a little money to exchange with Sister-in-law Wu, so that they can go outside to find women, drink flowers, wine, and gamble......

And the other children in the prison were taken away in just a few days and never brought back. The small ones are good to sell, and there are only two big ones left. A little girl older than Zhou Ying, named Xianglan, was the only one wearing clean clothes, and she was brought up every night and sent back in the morning. The other is a younger boy, named Lin Ze, who has a wound on his hand and is lazy and doesn't care about people every day.

Zhou Ying observed for a few days, and the injuries on her body eased a little, and she gradually had an idea in her heart.

In the evening of this day, Hu San came down again to take Xianglan away, and looked at Zhou Ying with bad intentions, Zhou Ying endured disgust and didn't know. When Hu San left, except for her and Zhou Jue, only the guarded sister-in-law Wu and Lin Ze were left in the corner.

Zhou Ying asked Zhou Jue to take out the pair of jade earrings, stepped forward and said through the fence: "Sister-in-law Wu, can you give saliva to drink?" ”

Sister-in-law Wu swept her eyes and sneered, "Isn't the toilet full of water?" If you are thirsty, drink it directly, I still stop you? ”

Where is the water in the toilet, it is obviously feces and urine, so she can say it, Zhou Ying felt nauseated in her abdomen, but she could only grit her teeth and endure it, and she had to smile on her face, with a look of embarrassment: "My brother has a little fever, and I ask Sister-in-law Wu to make it convenient, I won't make it difficult for Sister-in-law Wu." As she spoke, Zhou Ying stretched out her hand from between her sleeves, and her right hand turned up, revealing droplets of water like emerald ears.

Sister-in-law Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, she stopped drinking the wine, and the pig's trotters stopped gnawing, so she wanted to grab it when she pounced.

Zhou Ying quickly withdrew her hand, "Sister-in-law Wu, where is my water?" ”

Sister-in-law Wu patted the fence impatiently, "Don't bring the things over, you are all here, and you dare to negotiate conditions with the old lady?" ”

Zhou Ying stood up, but did not walk towards the fence, but walked to the toilet with her nose covered, hung her hand on it, and a little emerald light appeared between her fingers, "Although Sister-in-law Wu can come in and rob it, I can't stop it, but I can still decide where it went before." ”

Sister-in-law Wu thought about reaching out and digging it out, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes in disgust.

Zhou Ying softened her tone at the right time and said weakly: "I just need some hot water and steamed buns, and this pair of jade ears is Sister-in-law Wu's." ”

When Sister-in-law Wu heard that the reward had doubled, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said angrily: "You still dare to ask for steamed buns?" ”

Zhou Ying smiled embarrassedly, "I can't get used to the food I send every day, but I look at the sweetness of Sister-in-law Wu's food." Saying that, Zhou Ying looked at the small table with envy, on which were wine, bacon jerky, pig's trotters, a plate of peanuts and a plate of steamed buns.

Sister-in-law Wu hurriedly blocked it, afraid that Zhou Ying would say a few more words, and took away a few other things, a few steamed buns on the left and right were worthless, and she would definitely make a lot of money by changing to a pair of jade ears, so she hurriedly said: "That's it, your sister-in-law Wu will be kind today and give you a few steamed buns to eat." ”

As she spoke, Sister-in-law Wu specially picked out three small steamed buns, poured a large pot of hot water, and handed it to Zhou Ying, "Let's eat it for you." ”

Zhou Ying hurriedly came over from the fence, "Thank you, Sister-in-law Wu." ”

Sister-in-law Wu's palms were facing upwards, stretching forward, and she smiled kindly: "Look, Sister-in-law Wu is talking about it, what about things?" ”

Zhou Ying reluctantly rubbed the jade earring, and handed it over after a while, "This earring was specially given to me by my mother on my tenth birthday." The craftsmanship of the master of Tianbaolou is the only one in the world. Please take care of Sister-in-law Wu, and when I go back, I will definitely redeem it with Sister-in-law Wu. ”

Sister-in-law Wu snatched it over, looked at the light and looked at it, only to see that the earrings were shining with emerald soft light, the arc was soft, and there was no flaw in sight, so she knew that this pair of earrings was definitely of the highest quality, and she couldn't help but be happy.

At this time, Zhou Ying was a hen laying golden eggs in her eyes, and Sister-in-law Wu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take good care of this earring." ”

After speaking, Sister-in-law Wu happily put away the jade ear, walked around the house for a long time, but did not find a good hiding place, and moved the ladder to hide.

Seeing that Sister-in-law Wu was gone, Zhou Ying pushed Zhou Jue up, "Hurry up and eat something." ”

Zhou Jue has always been stubborn, he hasn't eaten a few bites of glutinous rice and cold porridge in the past few days, and he is hungry enough, but now he has clean hot water and fragrant steamed buns, and he suddenly couldn't help it anymore, sat up and gobbled it up.

Zhou Ying chewed and ate slowly, while telling Zhou Jue to slow down and not choke on herself.

At this time, a sentence suddenly came from the side, "You want to escape?" ”

Zhou Ying was told the central matter, and her eyelids jumped. She looked up and saw Lin Ze, who had never liked to deal with people, sat up rarely, staring at her with a focused gaze. At this time, Lin Ze's tone was affirmative, and he repeated, "You want to escape." ”

Zhou Ying settled down and asked, "Where did this come from?" ”

Lin Ze's dark eyes looked at Zhou Ying, and said firmly: "You can't fool me, otherwise, it's so good, why do you take out your precious jewelry for so long to exchange it for such a little worthless steamed hot water?" ”

As if frightened by Lin Ze's appearance, Zhou Jue was a little scared, snuggled in Zhou Ying's arms, and secretly glanced at Lin Ze.

Zhou Ying hugged Zhou Jue and rubbed the top of his hair, "I'm just worried that my brother's body can't bear it." After all these days, it's time for my father and mother to pay the ransom. When the time comes, I will be picked up by my father and mother, is it better than running away without my strength? ”

Lin Ze hugged his arms and sneered, "Don't sue me, you really believe their nonsense." ”
