This is your world

Dead, dead?

This news caught Li Beifeng off guard. read

М

Qiu Xin is dead?

He suddenly raised his head and stared at the old woman in front of him: "How did she die? When? What happened?"

The old woman was numb all over from being stared at by Li Beifeng. Although she didn't know who the man who suddenly appeared in front of her was, she was trembling under the cold gaze.

"Just, just a few months ago, she..."

The old woman spoke tremblingly and pointed to an old well not far away: "She, she threw herself into the well there..."

Li Beifeng's eyes followed her hand and saw a well in the corner not far away.

It was an old well, and the edges of the well were covered with weeds.

People in the courtyard basically avoided the old well. Presumably, they should also know about it.

"This, this is really not my fault, it has nothing to do with me at all..."

The old woman's stammering voice came from the side: "I don't know why she suddenly couldn't think about it and threw herself into the well... When I tried to save her, she had already died..."

Li Beifeng glanced at her and said in a cold tone: "Are you thinking of saving her?"

"I'm afraid her death has nothing to do with you, right?"

The old woman trembled, Li Beifeng's cold tone frightened her.

He wanted to say something to refute, but was shocked by Li Beifeng's eyes and swallowed it back.

"You, who are you?!"

The old woman reacted with shock and fear.

Who is this person who suddenly ran in and questioned her as soon as he came up?

She turned around and waved, trying to call the guards from behind the yard.

However, the two guards who had previously known Li Beifeng's identity were indifferent and just gave her a cold look.

Seeing the guard's eyes, the old woman's pupils suddenly dilated.

She was able to get along like a fish in the Jiaofang Division, and the old woman was good at observing people's emotions.

At this moment, she still didn't understand that the young man who suddenly appeared in front of her was a big shot.

"answer my question!"

Li Beifeng glanced around the yard, and finally landed on the old woman.

The old woman's eyes were horrified at this moment: "No, it's none of my business..."

"It's none of your business, so why did she commit suicide suddenly?" Li Beifeng stared at her.

The old woman suddenly became speechless, her face looked horrified, and she could not speak.

Li Beifeng's eyes fell on the courtyard. At this moment, the courtyard had attracted a lot of attention.

The women in these courtyards were in ragged clothes and looked embarrassed, and many of them were trembling with fear. Among them, many people looked at Li Beifeng for help.

Obviously, they are treated badly here.

For them, this place is undoubtedly a hell on earth.

Needless to say, the old woman next to him must have caused all this.

Insult, bully, teach, torture... I'm afraid, she often uses such methods to deal with the women here.

Most of the women who were reduced to the Jiaofangsi were the wives and daughters of ministers or the daughters of famous families.

No matter how noble their status was in the past, when they got here, they became slaves.

They are official prostitutes and they will never be able to get over themselves.

Therefore, the old woman can bully them unscrupulously, drive them to work, and humiliate them...

Qiu Xin has been here for so many years, and it is self-evident what kind of treatment she has received.

Li Beifeng felt a strong sense of anger in his heart.

Although he had never met Qiu Xin, everything she had suffered came to his mind, and he felt angry inside.

Especially when he saw this tragic scene in front of him, Li Beifeng felt unspeakably depressed.

This is a bad habit!

However, he was unable to change anything.

At this moment, a woman with a miserable look and delicate figure appeared at Li Beifeng's feet.

She looked at Li Beifeng with a pitiful expression and said in a weak tone: "Help, help me..."

It seems that Li Beifeng's identity is very unusual. Even the old woman who teaches them here to be arrogant is afraid of her.

The woman seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and said with excitement: "Please, save me, save me..."

Li Beifeng looked at her calmly.

This is a woman with a beautiful face. Although she is not a beautiful woman, she is still extremely beautiful.

However, at this moment, she became an official prostitute of the Jiaofang Division.

It was freezing cold at the moment, and she was only wearing thin clothes that did not cover her body. There are still some bright red whip marks on the exposed skin.

Apparently, she had been beaten and tortured by the old woman many times.

As if grasping this last life-saving straw, the woman grabbed Li Beifeng's trousers and tears kept flowing down: "Please, help me, I am the wife of Mr. Chen, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites... Mr. Chen is under the imperial court. I was framed by a traitor and my head was chopped off. I beg you...save me out. I can do whatever you want..."

Jiaofangsi's cruel treatment is not something ordinary people can bear.

As long as she can get out from here, she can do anything.

When the old woman on the side saw this scene, she suddenly became furious!

You still want to go out?

Still want someone to rescue her?

Once here, no one can get out!

However, she now knew that the identity of the young man beside her was not simple.

He glanced at Li Beifeng cautiously and then said: "Young Master, this woman is the wife of a guilty minister... Her husband intended to rebel and has been beheaded. She, she is a guilty person..."

Li Beifeng glanced back at her: "Are you threatening me?"

The old woman trembled: "No, I don't dare..."

Li Beifeng slowly withdrew his gaze and glanced at the half-clothed woman at his feet. The woman looked at him pitifully, and I felt pity for him.

The cold wind blew, and she was shivering all over.

"Find her something thick to wear!"

Li Beifeng glanced at the old woman beside him.

The old woman trembled all over and quickly glanced at the two servants next to her.

Soon, the servant found a thick piece of clothing.

Li Beifeng took the clothes and covered the woman in front of him.

The woman's eyes were excited, and she wanted to catch Li Beifeng.

She knew that the young man in front of her was the only one who could save her...

However, before she stretched out her hand, Li Beifeng had already dodged it.

"I can't save you!"

Li Beifeng spoke softly.

When she heard this, the woman's excited expression froze on the spot.

The women in Jiaofangsi are all official prostitutes.

The forces in this place are complex, and every woman who falls here must have someone secretly instigating and controlling them.

Even if Li Beifeng wanted to break the rules, it would not be that easy.

certainly……

Li Beifeng can indeed save the woman in front of him.

But what if he rescued her?

He could save the person in front of him, but he couldn't save everyone.

And the woman in front of him is the wife of a doctor from the Ministry of Rites.

The doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette is dead. What good will happen to her as a single woman even if she goes out?

Will her husband's political opponents in officialdom let her go?

Will those who have coveted her for a long time let her go?

Save her, I'm afraid her end will be tragic.

If there is no one to protect her, her final end will be either becoming the concubine of a political enemy, or falling into a folk brothel... and becoming the plaything of countless people.

For a person of her status, it would be better to die!

The light in the woman's eyes dimmed and disappeared little by little...

She understood the meaning in Li Beifeng's eyes.

She understands...this is the best place for her to belong.

If she leaves here, her end will only be worse!

She laughed miserably and looked at Li Beifeng: "Thank you, Master..."

After saying that, she slowly turned around and left.

Her life is over!

…

Li Beifeng stood up slowly and glanced back at the old woman indifferently: "Where is Qiu Xin buried?"

The old woman trembled all over: "Just, buried in the backyard over there..."

Although Jiaofangsi was a place where the wives and daughters of criminals were imprisoned, it was still affiliated with the government. If someone died inside, it wouldn't be a trivial matter.

Therefore, after Qiu Xin committed suicide, in order to reduce trouble, she dug a hole in the backyard and buried her directly... This is what many people who died here did.

…

The backyard of Jiaofangsi is a small, remote and desolate place.

It's dilapidated and gloomy, giving people a bleak feeling.

Li Beifeng stood in front of a small hill.

There is no monument, only a small arched hill, proving that a person was buried here.

Here, Qiu Xin’s body is buried!

Li Beifeng stood in front of the grave and remained silent for a long time.

Everything is unexpected, but also expected.

Qiuxin was sold into the Jiaofangsi since she was a child and became a maid here.

Perhaps Qiuyue's relationship prevented her from becoming a government prostitute sleeping with those clients. But here she was, absolutely humiliated and tortured.

She ultimately chose to commit suicide by throwing herself into a well, which was perhaps to be expected.

When he learned from Qiuyue that they had not seen each other for several years, and even the last letter was half a year ago, Li Beifeng had a vague premonition that something was not good.

At this moment, Li Beifeng's mood was slightly complicated.

Indescribable emotions.

It has been almost a year since he came to this world. He has almost integrated into this world and accepted most of its worldview.

But...as a top student who has received nine years of compulsory education. There are some things that Li Beifeng still finds difficult to accept.

But he knew that with his current ability, he couldn't change anything.

Without enough power, he cannot break the rules that the world has long established.

Unless, one day he can overturn all of this...

is it possible?

Li Beifeng felt a little strange in his heart.

Finally, peace comes.

He turned and left.

Outside the rear members, the old woman was standing at the door, waiting for Li Beifeng to come out.

When she saw Li Beifeng coming out, she quickly put a smile on her face, cautiously came up to him and said to her, "Dragon protector, do you have any other instructions?"

Just now, she had learned Li Beifeng's identity from the two guards.

Glancing at the old woman who was bending down to flatter her, Li Beifeng's eyes flashed with disgust.

He raised his head and glanced at the yard not far away, where a few thin figures were working in the cold wind.

Li Beifeng glanced at her again; "Next time I come, if I see you bullying them again... I will kill you!"

The smile on the old woman's face froze, and then she nodded quickly: "What the Protector taught you is, I, I will definitely not dare to do it next time..."

The protector of Qin Tiansi!

Such a big shot could easily kill her!

The old woman immediately calmed down and secretly made up her mind to treat these criminals, wives and daughters better in the future...

Li Beifeng withdrew his gaze, ignored the old woman's flattery, and turned to leave.

He can't change the order of the world now, so he can only do his best to help those he can.

…

Su Mansion.

inside the room.

Su Shan sat by the stove and looked up at Qiu Yue, who was not far away and was a little distracted.

From time to time she looked up and looked out the window without saying a word.

But the occasional flash of strange color in her eyes proved that she was not calm now.

Su Shan understood and said softly: "Qiuyue, don't worry too much..."

Qiuyue seemed to come back to her senses and glanced at the young lady.

Su Shan said: "Master Li has gone to the Jiaofang Division... His identity is quite high. I believe there will be news back soon. Don't worry..."

"Um……"

Qiuyue nodded.

She knew that Li Beifeng's identity was not simple...especially the guards who lived in the outer courtyard. She discovered that night that those people were not only very skilled, but also had a good background. This gave her an additional layer of knowledge about Li Beifeng's identity. guess.

At this moment, she still looked out the window from time to time.

Outside the window, there was no movement.

I do not know how long it has been.

Suddenly there were footsteps outside the yard.

Not long after, Li Beifeng's figure appeared in sight.

Qiuyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she wanted to step forward excitedly.

But in the end, I still held back.

Not long after, Li Beifeng's figure appeared outside the door.

Open the door and walk in.

In the room, Su Shan and Qiu Yue were in the room.

Li Beifeng's eyes fell on the two of them, both of whom were looking at him at the moment.

There was a look of excitement and nervousness that could not be concealed in his eyes.

Especially Qiuyue, she looked at Li Beifeng and hesitated to speak.

I wanted to ask something, but in the end I didn't ask first.

"You're back?"

Su Shan was the first to speak. She looked at Li Beifeng and asked softly.

"Um."

Li Beifeng nodded.

"So... how's it going?"

Su Shan continued to ask.

Qiuyue is her closest maid, they are as close as sisters.

Qiuyue’s sister is also her sister!

At this moment, she couldn't wait to know how Qiu Xin was doing?

However, when this question is asked.

Li Beifeng remained silent and did not speak.

Seeing this scene, the smile on Su Shan's face gradually solidified.

She was so ice-smart, and an ominous premonition came to her.

On the other side, Qiuyue saw Li Beifeng's silent expression.

The originally excited heart suddenly sank violently.

"She, what happened to her?"

She didn't even notice that her voice was trembling.

"You, come with me!"

After a long time, Li Beifeng looked up at Qiuyue and spoke softly.

Qiuyue remained silent and nodded.

…

Jiaofangsi!

backyard.

Li Beifeng returned here with Qiuyue.

The icy cold wind whistled past, and there was a loneliness between heaven and earth.

Qiuyue's heart felt heavy, she had already expected something.

More and more silent!

Finally, Li Beifeng stopped on a hill.

After a moment of silence, he spoke softly: "She is right here..."

Qiuyue looked at the inconspicuous hill and fell silent!

Not a word was spoken.

for a long time!

Li Beifeng looked back at her.

I originally thought she would be sad, angry, furious, or even...cry!

However, there was no reaction on her face.

He just stared blankly at the hill in front of him, silent.

…

As if silent for a century, Qiuyue slowly turned around and looked at Li Beifeng.

At this time, Li Beifeng suddenly realized that her eyes were red.

But there were no tears.

She just looked at Li Beifeng calmly.

"Can you tell me... who killed her?"

The voice is cold!

The murderous aura that cannot be concealed spreads freely in this world.

"..."
