Chapter 606 Cruel Heart

The guards, honor guards, local officials and other people had traveled dozens of miles from Yugan County to reach this Dayuanba village. After all the trouble, it was almost evening, so everyone had to rest there for the night.

The officials requisitioned many houses from the people. Fortunately, the guards had military tents with them, so they were able to settle down in this small village where there was nothing.

Qian Rui and Du's mother lived in their own home. Zheng Shi Huang Gou arranged many eunuchs and soldiers to take turns guarding outside. The mother and daughter lived in a dilapidated house, and there were several young palace maids to serve them.

After night fell, the bedroom was full of dark brown dirt under the oil lamp, some of which were smoked by soot and dust in the humid air. There were even strips of black stuff hanging from the roof, which were called "yang dust" by the locals. They were the remnants of spider webs smoked with wood ash.
