Chapter 16: Saving Lives
The Chen family has three tiled rooms, one is where the Chen family and his son live, one is the living room, and the other is the kitchen and grocery room. The father and son lived in a fairly spacious room, and the three servants were quite nervous. The three teenagers had to live in the kitchen and sleep on the hay, but fortunately it was still early October, and the weather was not too cold, and they could make do.
The father and son lay next to each other and spoke. Chen Yue proposed to his father to build a few more wings, and Chen Jianghe agreed.
"If you want to build it, you have to build two rows of three wings in the east and west rows. There are manpower in the Beijing camp, and when I turn around, I call dozens of them to help, and it can be built in a few days. We just need to buy some bricks, tiles and wood, and then take care of these soldiers and ruffians to eat a few full meals, and it won't cost much silver. "Chenjiang River Road.
"You have to be careful of Ma Pole and Wu Liang, beware of what tricks they will use." The family has money, but the money is not coming from the right way, which makes Chen Jianghe faintly uneasy.
"Don't be afraid, it's money that can't be seen, we're just eating black, and the two of them don't dare to make a noise. But Daddy, have you figured out how to tell others that our family is rich? Chen Yue comforted his father and raised his own questions. Suddenly getting rich will inevitably attract the attention of others, and if there is no better explanation, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of others.
"What is there to think, our family has not always been so poor, a few years ago it was still a big family, so I told people that I had to sell the ancestral treasure." Chen Jianghe said disapprerovingly.
"Daddy is smart!" Chen Yue hurriedly gave a thumbs up, but unfortunately Chen Jianghe couldn't see it in the dark.
The father and son chatted casually, and after a while, Chen Jianghe fell asleep with earth-shattering snoring.
Seeing that his father was asleep, Chen Yue quietly got out of bed, came to the kitchen, woke up the sleeping Chen Ping, and motioned him to go out with him.
Chen Ping was shocked, and followed behind Chen Yue with a cower, could it be that he had mistaken this master, he also liked male style, and wanted to do indecent things to himself? Chen Ping's heart was extremely frightened, and while walking with Chen Yue, he secretly thought about how to avoid the poisonous hands.
Chen Yue didn't expect Chen Ping to think so complicated and dirty, he just planned to take Chen Ping to save his sister at night. Although Chen Ping is still young and can't do anything, he has a ruthless spirit, and he is going to rescue his sister, and he can help put a sentry at a critical moment.
When rosacea offered five hundred taels of silver for redemption, Chen Yue gave up the idea of spending money to ransom Chen Ping's sister. He now has a total of more than 1,000 taels of silver, and he is not so great when he takes out nearly half of the money to save a woman he doesn't know. But Chen Yue has already promised Chen Ping, and he will do what he says, and if money can't solve it, then use force.
Chen Yue himself didn't realize that his personality was already very tyrannical compared to before the crossing, and the policeman who used to talk about evidence in everything has become a martial artist who is unwilling to use other thoughts if he can solve it by force. Maybe it's because of the original personality of this body.
took out a black scarf and covered his face, Chen Yue took Chen Ping and walked carefully on the dark street. The capital in the middle of the night is quiet, not at all like the brightly lit city that never sleeps in later generations. Occasionally, the lights of the building flickered, accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo, Chen Yue knew that it was a brothel of Qinglou that worked at night.
At night, the nine gates of the capital are closed and locked, and Xuanwu Gate is no exception. If you want to go to the outer city to rescue Chen Ping's sister, you must climb the high city wall.
Chen Yue took Chen Ping along the road to the city wall, walking in the shadows where the lights could not shine. Only then did Chen Ping know that he was going to rescue his sister, and the fear in his heart disappeared without a trace, replaced by incomparable excitement.
As the defenders of the inner city gate, the soldiers at the head of the city were hiding in the city gate tower and sleeping around the fire, and there was not even a sentry on duty.
Chen Yue took off the rope he was carrying from his back, tied it tightly to the battlements of the city wall, and then left the city.
"Can you go down yourself?" Chen Yue asked Chen Ping in a low voice.
Chen Ping nodded silently, jumped on the battlement and pulled the rope and swung down, his skills were very agile. Glancing back at the lights from the city gate tower, Chen Yue also pulled the rope and jumped off the city wall.
Following his memory to the courtyard where he was redeemed in the morning, Chen Yue signaled Chen Ping to guard the wind outside, and quietly jumped over the wall himself. Although Chen Ping's child is ruthless, after all, he is still young, and he is not suitable for fighting.
As soon as his feet landed, Chen Yue felt out the head of the gun hidden in his waist, and the expected vicious dog pounced and did not appear, Chen Yue straightened up and looked at the situation in the courtyard.
There are three main rooms, and there are wings on the east and west sides, and in the wings are trafficked girls, Chen Yue looked at them in the morning, and there were about a dozen people. Naturally, the main house was inhabited by the trafficker Rosacea and the three thugs he raised. But at such a late hour, why hasn't the lights been turned off in one of the houses?
There was a faint gasp and moan, and Chen Yue listened carefully, and immediately understood what was happening. I hope it's not Chen Ping's sister who encountered this kind of thing, it would be a pity if that happened.
Quietly touched the window of the room where the light was on, poked the window paper with his finger, and looked closely, and saw a candle on the table, the red waves rolling on the bed, and two black and white bodies were entangled.
The candlelight flickered, and Chen Yue couldn't see the face of the woman on the bed clearly, and he didn't know if she was Chen Ping's sister. Seeing that the two were fighting fiercely, they quietly came to another room, the room was dark, and the snoring sound was earth-shattering, this should be the room of the three thugs.
Chen Yue's way to save people is very simple, knock out rosacea and his men, and rescue all the women who are in distress!
With a dagger, he gently opened the latch of the door and pushed it open a little crack with his hand, and the shaft of the door turned to make a creaking sound, but it was muffled by the earth-shattering snoring. Standing in front of the bed, through the faint light outside the door, Chen Yue vaguely saw the three lying side by side on the bed.
Lifting the latch and slamming it down hard, the head of a thug tilted and the snoring suddenly disappeared. Just as Chen Yue was trying to knock out the second thug with a latch, the third thug lying inside suddenly woke up.
"Who are you? Someone, murder! He was dazed as if he saw Chen Yue stoned his companion to death, and he screamed in panic.
Chen Yue stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar, and the latch smashed down against the back of his head, and the screaming stopped abruptly.
"What's going on? What is the second ghost of Wu called? Rosacea stopped moving, and looked up in confusion to listen to the movement.
Chen Yue held his breath and stood quietly outside the door.
"Grass your mother's second Wu Lao, don't let you stop being a woman!" When Rosacea was about to continue, he found that he had withered underneath, and he couldn't help but be furious at the moment, and he was about to find Wu Lao Er's bad luck when he got up.
The door opened, and as soon as he stuck his head out, what awaited him was a slap in the face......
"Ahh The woman on the bed screamed, and Chen Yue rushed in with an arrow step, gesturing at the latch in his hand, and the screaming stopped abruptly.
"Who are you?" Chen Yue asked coldly.
"I am, I was sold here." The woman looked at the black cloth on Chen Yue's face in horror.
Seeing that she was not Chen Ping's sister, Chen Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. rummaging around the room, he soon found a dozen deeds of sale in a drawer.
"You go, you're free from now on!" Coldly saying a word to this woman, Chen Yue lit the deed of sale on the candle, watched the flame gradually rise, and turned around and left the room.
