144: C144 Tragedy

C144 Tragedy

Chu Yun had planned to disappear completely all of a sudden.

After all. . .

He had nothing else to do here. All the people of Ruyi Casino had fallen. That bastard Ma San would definitely not be able to escape the hunt. This dirty land had finally completely evaporated under the sunlight.

However, just as Chu Yun teleported back to the roof and was about to leave, a system notification suddenly rang in his mind.

Ding ~

Phase mission Triggered!

Quest objective: Protect Zhao Qianli's life!

Quest time limit: 100 days.

Quest reward: 2 Celestial Grade Baits, 10 Earth Grade Baits, 30 Spiritual Baits.

. . .

When Chu Yun heard this, he was stunned on the spot.

Good fellow, he called him good fellow!

When the first mission was announced, Chu Yun felt that it was a little ridiculous. Just by saving Zhao Qianli once, he had obtained three Earth Grade Baits, five Spiritual Baits, and ten Ordinary Grade Baits. This meant that Zhao Qianli was worth a lot in the eyes of the system.

Now, after this new mission was announced, it confirmed Chu Yun's guess. It even made him doubt whether this Zhao Qianli was the son of the system. He actually spent such a large sum of money to protect him?

Two Celestial Grade Baits, ten Earth Grade Baits, thirty Ordinary Grade Baits. . .

In just a hundred days.

In total, it had only been around three months.

If he could get this reward, Chu Yun's strength would undoubtedly rise to a whole new level, or even a qualitative leap.

But at the same time, the more rewards he would receive. . . It also meant that it would be more and more dangerous. It was imaginable that this Crown Prince called Zhao Qianli would encounter a lot of dangers in the next 100 days.

"Why don't I just tie him up?"

Chu Yun rubbed his chin and thought to himself. In order to ensure that he could complete the mission, he might as well kidnap Zhao Qianli and put him in a safe environment. After 100 days, he would let Zhao Qianli go.

In this way, it should be very safe, but it did not seem like something a person would do. After all, Chu Yun was a person who cared about his reputation, so he was a little hesitant.

While his thoughts were in a complicated state, in the courtyard, Zhao Qianli and Inspector Sun Yi had already escorted the people of Ruyi Casino to the yamen.

Of course, it wasn't the yamen of the West District. It was the yamen of Beicheng where Sun Yi was.

Along the way, Chu Yun had been quietly following them. The idea in his mind was still stirring. If there was a suitable opportunity, Chu Yun really didn't know whether he would kidnap them or not.

After all. . .

This reward was too generous.

Moreover, just kidnapping a person for a hundred days was not a threat to him. Chu Yun could even provide him with delicious food and drinks. How good was that?

Chu Yun comforted himself while his dog followed behind Zhao Qianli.

After the group arrived at the Beicheng's yamen, Sun Yi pressed the group from Ruyi Casino to the hall for interrogation. Apart from the serious crime of attacking Crown Prince, Sun Yi was also interrogating the people from the gambling den about the bad things that the gambling den had done. He had tortured many of the gambling den's people.

Under the old coroner's means, the cowards in the gambling den naturally revealed everything that they should and shouldn't have.

Not long after, the officials of the Beicheng yamen caught many more people from outside. When they entered, they saw that it was the hoodlums, Ma San and the people from the Ruyi Casino's base camp. Almost all of them had been caught.

Then. . .

They followed Zhao Qianli's instructions and let Ma San and his men go through the torture. After that, they were sentenced to death by the autumn execution. The dragon service was very thorough.

"Alright, I'm satisfied. "

Zhao Qianli crossed his legs and observed for a long time. Finally, he nodded in satisfaction and patted Sun Yi's shoulder. He said, "Chief Sun did a good job. I will remember you. "

"Crown Prince is too kind. If possible, I hope you can say a few words for me in front of His Royal Highness and Eldest Young Master. Then Sun Yi will be very grateful. "

Chief Sun chuckled and cupped his hands towards Zhao Qianli.

"The prince and the young master. . . "

A trace of sadness flashed in the depths of Zhao Qianli's eyes when he heard these words. However, it only lasted for a brief moment. With an unchanged expression, he said a few words to Chief Sun, Sure, sure. After that, he turned around and left the Beicheng's yamen.

When he arrived outside the yamen, Zhao Qianli arrived at a teahouse. Before he even got close, he saw a young woman standing at the entrance of the teahouse from afar.

"Crown Prince!"

The young woman looked sad and sad. When she saw Zhao Qianli from afar, she immediately went up to him and kneeled down three steps away from him. Her forehead heavily hit the hard stone floor.

She used so much force that when she raised her head, her forehead had been knocked open. It was blood red and there was a lot of dust and dirt on the ground.

And this was not the end. After the young woman's head hit the ground heavily, she got up and wanted to kowtow again. Moreover, her strength did not decrease at all compared to the first time.

If one were to talk about sincerity in this gesture, it would definitely be extremely sincere. However, she did not seem to be treating her head as a head. It was as if it would be fine even if she knocked it down.

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Qianli went forward and grabbed the collar of the young woman. He lifted her up and said, "Why are you kowtowing so hard? What if you knock someone down and cause them to stumble while walking?"

This was supposed to be a joke, but the young woman's face was full of sadness and sadness. She could not laugh at all. After being helped up by Zhao Qianli, she was unable to laugh. She couldn't hold her emotions any longer. Her eyes were full of tears.

"Sigh. . . "

Zhao Qianli sighed and said, "In my life, I can't bear to see a woman cry in front of me. Take it easy. "

After saying that, Zhao Qianli brought the young woman and walked to the side of the river. If this continued to develop in this busy city, he was afraid that Crown Prince's reputation would be tarnished the next day.

Walking to the side of the river, Zhao Qianli glanced at the young woman and said: "You have heard about it, right?"

. . . "I saw it with my own eyes outside the yamen. "

The young woman took a deep breath and calmed down her sad mood. However, when she spoke, there was still a strong nasal sound, as if she would burst into tears at any time. Her two slender hands were tightly clenched into fists. Her sharp nails pierced into her palms and were about to stab out blood, but she did not care at all.

"Sigh. "

Zhao Qianli was not used to this kind of conversation. It was too depressing for him. After sighing, he scratched his head. He said, "The villain who lured your husband to gamble, his name is Ma San. Now that he has been arrested, I sent someone to give him a serious punishment. Torture him until he looks like a human being, and arrange for execution after autumn. The rest of the people in the gambling den won't be able to escape this punishment either. "

With a plop, the young woman once again knelt on the ground and knelt down towards Zhao Qianli. Her forehead was tightly pressed against the ground as she sobbed, "Thank you, Crown Prince, for upholding justice for me. I am unable to repay this great kindness. In my next life, I am willing to be Crown Prince's horse. . . "

As she spoke, the young woman quickly pulled out the hairpin from her hair. She held it with her hand and was about to stab it into her heart.

However, Zhao Qianli was a martial artist after all. With quick reflexes, he grabbed his wrist.

"Well said. Why do you want to commit suicide again?"0

Zhao Qianli was a little angry.

He took the hairpin and threw it into the river. Looking at the little woman's sad face, he could not help but say, "And what do you mean by being my slave in my next life? What if my next life is a grass? In this life, a man will live like this. If they die, they die. How can there be any future life?"

“. . . ”

When the young woman heard this, she sobbed silently. She closed her eyes in pain and said, "Crown Prince, You better not stop me. The husband of the woman was beaten to death by them. When I was thrown out of the city, I was also sullied by those beasts. After losing my virginity, I escaped from the gambling den with all my might the day before. It's just that I don't want to die in dirty places like brothels. Now. . . I have already gotten my revenge for my daughter. I will leave this lowly body behind. There's no reason for me to continue living. . . "

When Zhao Qianli heard these words, he opened his mouth, but no words of consolation could come out of his mouth.

Because, in the first half of his life, Although he wasn't living a good life, But he definitely wasn't as miserable as this young woman. He had never experienced such pain before, so he naturally couldn't empathize with the young woman's emotions. At a time like this, the words of consolation that were casually spoken would only appear to be so weak and powerless.

The place where Zhao Qianli and the young woman met was at the riverside.

It was at dawn the day before yesterday.

Zhao Qianli was lying on a small boat, drunk to death. He did not know how long he floated on the surface of the water, but when he suddenly heard a woman crying in pain by the riverbank, he was jolted awake.

He looked up and saw that the young woman had thrown out a three-foot-long white silk under a willow tree on the shore. She was ready to hang herself to commit suicide.

At that time, Zhao Qianli had gotten up in a fit of rage. He had a very irritable temper, so he had said: "Why are you howling so early in the morning? Which family doesn't have some bad things? As for hanging yourself at such a young age?"

The young woman ignored him. Crown Prince's temper rose. He rowed the boat to the shore and cut off the rope used to hang the young woman. Take a look, where are the bamboo shoots?

The young woman failed to hang the bamboo shoots. She could not withstand Zhao Qianli's inquiry and exposed her experience. After Zhao Qianli heard it, he immediately sobered up. Because this was really tragic. . .

This little woman lived a poor life. Her father died early, and her mother brought her to remarry, but in the end, she was not virtuous. Her childhood was often beaten and scolded by her step-father, and her life was extremely tough.

When she reached adulthood, she finally met a person she liked. Although the other party was only a poor scholar and did not have much money, their lives were also very sweet. However, one day, the husband suddenly made some bad friends and got involved in gambling problems.

At first, it was said that small gambling was easy, but later on, the gambling became bigger and bigger, betting the entire family business. Not a single cent of the lost was left, and he still owed a lot of gambling debts.

In the end, her husband also treated herself as a gambling stake, betting on a card game. . .

In the end, she naturally lost.

Her husband regretted and went to find her, but in the end, he was seriously injured and thrown into the wilderness, with a slim chance of survival.

As for herself, she had fallen into the hands of the gambling den. As a beautiful woman, it was imaginable what she would experience.

That period of time, to this young woman, was simply not a human's life. And after that bunch of beasts had their addiction, they even sold her to brothels. . .

Actually, at this point, the young woman did not want to live anymore, but the last shred of her self-esteem made her unwilling to step into a brothel no matter what. Thus, she took the opportunity with all her might and actually managed to escape.

After Zhao Qianli heard her story, he was deeply moved. He agreed to avenge the young woman, and then there was the incident of the Beicheng's yamen assaulting the Ruyi Casino.

But. . .

To the little woman, although she had already gotten her revenge, her life had already been destroyed, and there was no way to redeem it.

If the young woman could still live for a little bit of hatred before Ma San was punished, then she really did not know what reason she had to continue living in this world.

. . . "Your husband is not dead yet. "

At this time, a calm voice came from the riverside.
