The west side of the manor is filled with a strong smell of medicine and blood.

There are rows of large water tanks, filled with various kinds of rich concoctions, some steaming, some freezing cold.

There is a person in each jar, his hair is shaved, his face is either pale or abnormally red.

Everyone was chained up, unable to move at all. They were either unconscious, silent, or moaning in pain.

Yan Ruyu had only read a few words in ancient book records before. When she saw the scene in front of her, she was first shocked and then angry.

There were three people nearby who were picking up the corpses. In their hands, the humans were no different than animals. They were talking and joking while picking up the corpses.

"Quickly, pack these and throw them into the stove behind."

"After you finish this, go buy some wine. I'm so hungry."

"How about we call a girl from Hualou? The song Miss Ying sang last time took my soul away."

"Just scream and see if anyone dares to come."

"Give me more money and cover my eyes again. She doesn't know. How exciting."

Huo Changhe tightened his grip on the sword hilt.

An Cizhou's vision turned black, he was frightened and angry, and almost fainted.

"You, these beasts! Cold-blooded animals!"

"You're a bastard who's worse than a beast!"

"You're worse than a bastard!"

An Cizhou cursed loudly and exerted all his strength, as if this could relieve the anger in his heart.

Several people didn't pay attention at all and were startled. When they turned around and saw them, the leader asked: "What are you doing? Where did they come from?"

Several others had already picked up their weapons and came quickly.

"You guys brought this to your door!"

Just swing the knife and cut.

As soon as An Cizhou closed his eyes, Huo Changhe moved away with his sword and pushed him back two steps.

There is only one left in the blink of an eye.

"Who are you from?"

"We... don't belong to anyone. We were robbers before. When we got into trouble, they killed most of our brothers and captured us to work here."

This kind of person is cruel and has no foundation. If he kills him after using it, no one will find him. Even if he is caught one day, he will not know anything about it and cannot explain anything clearly.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other and understood each other.

An Cizhou said: "I will send people back and inform the people to come over and let them see this kind of evil behavior!"

After a slight pause, he sighed and continued: "Let them identify if they have any family members, so that they can be taken back and resettled."

"No."

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe said in unison.

An Cizhou was surprised: "Why?"

Yan Ruyu said: "Many people will never see this kind of scene in their lifetime, and they can't even imagine it. If they see it with their own eyes, I'm afraid the shadow in their hearts will never be erased."

"Furthermore, there are both men and women here. If we call people here, even if these women survive, they will be troubled by this matter in the future."

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment: "Rescue them first and place the women alone. I'll give them a look. Then I'll find some carriages and take them to the small market. After the house is closed tomorrow night, let them leave or leave." Let your family get it.”

Huo Changhe nodded: "What the princess said is exactly what I want."

An Cizhou suddenly realized and said sincerely: "I didn't think well, so I'll just do what the princess says and I'll make arrangements right away."

Yan Ruyu looked at the people in the medicine jar one by one. Unfortunately, most of them had weak breaths and would not survive long even if they were rescued.

The fifth jar was a woman. She seemed to have something in her heart. She slowly opened her eyes: "Girl..."

Yan Ruyu stopped and leaned slightly: "Say."

"I don't want to live anymore," the woman forced a smile, "Please, please give me a good time."

Yan Ruyu pursed her lips slightly, and tears flowed from the woman's eyes: "I also have a fiancé who was supposed to get married during the Mid-Autumn Festival...

I can't let him see me like this, so I'd better keep it in my thoughts. Please, give me a good time..."

Yan Ruyu's heart trembled: "Do you have anything else to say to him?"

"Tell him to find a good woman and live a good life," the woman smiled with tears in her eyes. "Please, girl, please fix my hair so that I can die with dignity."

"it is good."

"My name is Xia Gu."

"it is good."

There were nine people in total, and only two survived.

When An Cizhou came back, his throat was severely blocked.

The courtyard at the back was not even modified. A large stove was placed directly, and several unburned corpses were placed aside. The smell of blood, decay, and fire made people almost nauseous.

Huo Changhe closed his eyes slightly: "I thought the corpses I saw on the battlefield were cruel enough, but the ones here are even worse."

"The prince is talking about war. The essence is to protect the home and the country. The evil in people's hearts cannot be compared here."

Yan Ruyu's palms were sweating, and she tried to calm down: "Burn all the dead people, they don't want others to see them like this."

An Cizhou opened his mouth, but was unable to close it.

I was busy until almost dawn before I finally got it done.

Most of the people who came out of the prison had gone back, and some of them were injured. An Cizhou had ordered his entourage to take care of them first, and then they would go back together in a carriage.

The three of them walked tiredly to the gate and saw a young man coming after hearing the news. As they walked, they asked eagerly: "Have you seen Aunt Xia?"

"Have you seen my fiancee, Aunt Xia?"

Yan Ruyu's heart trembled slightly, and her hand holding the jar tightened.

Huo Changhe moved his fingers slightly, but still stretched out his hand and gently held her arm.

"Sir?" The man rushed to An Cizhou, "Is it Mr. An?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Is there anyone else inside? I'm looking for my fiancée!"

An Cizhou didn't know how to answer, so Yan Ruyu said, "Are you looking for Aunt Xia?"

"Yes, yes, have you seen her? Where is she?" The man's eyes were shining with anxiety.

Yan Ruyu stared at him and slowly handed the jar to him: "Gu Xia said that I am very happy to be your fiancée. She is very strong and has endured for a long time.

She also said that you should be as strong as her and live a good life without thinking about her. "

The man was startled, stared down at the jar, took two steps back, his lips were trembling and he could not speak.

"Take her home."

The man opened his mouth wide and howled loudly, holding the jar tightly in his arms, his grief turning into desperate sobs.

Yan Ruyu turned away, and Huo Changhe held her hand and comforted her silently.

The three of them walked back in silence, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

……

Dawn is approaching, which is the darkest time of the night and the time when people sleep the deepest.

A black shadow quietly fell in the courtyard. When he saw the guard taking a nap in front of the door, he lightly jumped up the slope of the house and climbed into the house through the back window.

The Wing King in the room had just narrowed his eyes when a black shadow came to his side and reached out to pat him.

King Yi suddenly opened his eyes and almost wanted to scream.

The black shadow quickly stopped and pointed outside.

King Yi quickly sat up, his eyes full of hope: "How did you get in?"
