In addition to being ashamed, where can Chen Yue's own troubles make his father take the blame for himself? decisively refused his father to fight for him, and Chen Jianghe was greatly relieved.

After dinner, before the Xibian Gate was closed and locked, Chen Jianghe left the coal yard to find Yang Zhengping. Yang Zhengping's martial arts were very good, Chen Yue was not worried that his father would go alone, so he followed Chen Jianghe with a crossbow and a spear.

Wu Wan'er looked at Chen Yue worriedly before leaving, Chen Yue smiled and said It's okay, after the matter is done, I will go out of the city and return to the coal yard, but how to get out of the city when the city gate is locked at night, of course, it is habitual to climb over the city wall.

Yang Zhengping's Chongnanfang in Zuo'anmen was originally a barren vacant land, and since the Houjin invasion several times, a large number of people outside the city have taken refuge in the city, forming a slum where refugees live. There were low shacks everywhere, sewage flowed sideways on the ground, and a pungent rancid smell emanated from the air, so Chen Yue couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.

The vegetable market street outside the Xuanwu Gate is already very dilapidated, here is ten times more dilapidated than there, this is like the capital of a country, it is like a hell for people, walking on the streets of the black hole, listening to the cries of children, the sobs of women, and the unpleasant smell in his nose, Chen Yue couldn't help but have this idea in his heart.

Such a dirty and messy environment must be full of diseases, Chen Yue couldn't help but think in his heart. In fact, in the last years of Chongzhen, a large-scale plague occurred in the vicinity of Beijing, and a large number of people died of infectious diseases.

Chongnanfang is located in the southeast of the outer city, from the coal yard to the need to pass through the whole Beijing city, when the father and son arrived at Chongnanfang, the sky has been completely dark, the whole Chongnanfang blind lights extinguish the fire, a pitch black, occasional lights flickering, soon disappeared without a trace.

Chen Jianghe and his son followed the road they explored during the day and came to an alley, which was a little better and no longer the simple shacks where refugees lived.

"This is it!" Chen Jianghe pointed to a house in front of him and said, and when he was about to pass, he grabbed Chen Yue and retreated into the darkness.

Then I heard faint footsteps coming from ahead, and five or six black figures with torches appeared in the distance.

The father and son stood in the dark shadow and watched quietly, and saw that this group of people with torches came to the door of Yang Zhengping's house.

"Who's out there?" A hearty male voice sounded from the courtyard, the lights in the house were lit, and after a while, the courtyard door opened, revealing Yang Zhengping's figure.

Seeing a large number of people outside the hospital, Yang Zhengping was startled, and grasped the handle of the short knife hidden in his waist.

"I'm Li Jin in Hejian, and I want to ask Brother Yang for a little favor, can I talk in the courtyard?" Leader Li Jin said.

Feeling the other party's ill intentions, Yang Zhengping was silent for a while, and said: "It turned out to be Brother Li, I have been looking up for a long time, but Neiko has fallen asleep, and it is really inconvenient at night, so let's talk about something here." ”

"Okay, let's talk about it here!" Li Jin didn't care either, and said his intention at the moment: "The so-called matter of being entrusted by people to be loyal to people, Brother Yang also has a great reputation in the rivers and lakes, but what you did some time ago was not very authentic!" ”

"What did Brother Li say, Ransom Yang has a bad memory, I really can't remember it." Yang Zhengping said in a deep voice.

"Why should Brother Yang pretend to be confused? Just a few days ago, Boss Yang, who opened the coal yard, asked you to deal with a newly opened coal yard with Scar and others. Scar and the others and the employer's brother-in-law disappeared without a trace, and you were the only one who survived, so you should always give Boss Yang an explanation. Li Jin said.

"Confess, what confession? I don't know what you are talking about, what coal yard, what Boss Yang, what does it have to do with me? Listening to Li Jin's words, Yang Zhengping was shocked, Scar and Pan Gui, who were directly in contact with him, had already died in the Chenjia Coal Yard, how could anyone still know that they were involved in this matter?

"It's all eaten by running around the rivers and lakes, is it interesting for Brother Yang to say that?" Li Jin sneered, "Since I have found you, I naturally know the truth of the matter, and denying it is not your Cangzhou Yang Tiegun's style!" ”

"Well, what do you want?" Now that the other party has found the door, Yang Zhengping knows that he can't hide.

"It's okay, I'm also entrusted by someone, I want to ask Brother Yang for another favor, and there is nothing else, I just need to go to the court to testify, and prove that it was Chen Jianghe, the owner of the Chenjia Coal Farm, who committed murder and killed Pan Gui and Scar and other people." Li Jin made his own request.

"Impossible!" Yang Zhengping refused without thinking, he was arrested in the coal yard, Chen Jianghe let him go, how can he betray Chen Jianghe ungrateful now!

"I'm afraid you can't do this!" Li Jin sneered, and with a wave of his hand, several of his subordinates came around.

"Is it just your rotten garlic?" Yang Tiexin sneered, reached out and took out the short knife on his waist. He was determined to slaughter the men in front of him, and then flee with his wife and son, and he would rather go into exile again than do something ungrateful.

"I've heard for a long time that Yang Tiegun's martial arts are strong, how dare you come here if you're not prepared?" Li Jin sneered and clapped his hands. Yang Tiexin was shocked to see the torch lit from his yard, and then saw his pale wife standing at the door of the house with a knife on his neck, and his sleeping son was also held in the arms of another man with a dagger.

"Bastard, you're looking for death!" Seeing that his wife and son had fallen into the hands of the other party, Yang Zhengping only felt that blood was pouring into his pupils, and he angrily raised the short knife in his hand and scolded loudly. Since his parents died in front of him, his two younger sisters were snatched away by Hou Jin Bing, his wife and son are his only remaining relatives, and he categorically does not allow anyone to threaten him with their lives!

"Why should Brother Yang be angry, I have no ill will towards my sister-in-law and little nephew, as long as Brother Yang is willing to agree to my request, naturally I don't dare to touch them at all!" With the hostage in hand, Li Jin was relieved and said to Yang Zhengping with a smile.

Yang Zhengping was silent, his wife and son fell into the hands of the enemy, he was really a rat trap, where did he dare to move, that's it, Chen Engong, I can only be sorry for you, compared with my wife and son, I can only do ungrateful things.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Zhengping was about to agree to Li Jin's request. At this moment, there was a sound of strings, and I saw the man who was pulling his wife screaming, and the steel knife fell to the ground with a "dang long", and an arrow that flew from it was stuck in his wrist. Another man with a child in his arms was startled and hurriedly wanted to retreat into the house, but at this moment, another arrow flew out of the night and was stuck in his throat, and he fell to the ground with a "poof", and the child in his arms was awakened and cried with a "wow".

When the man who had been shot in the wrist hurriedly bent down to pick up the steel knife that had fallen to the ground, a black shadow jumped into the courtyard and swept over in a few steps, the cold light in his hand flashed, and the human head rolled to the ground.

The whole process happened very quickly, and between the rise and fall of the rabbits, two men who held women and children hostage died in a pool of blood. Li Jin, the leader, looked at the scene in the courtyard in astonishment, and it wasn't until Yang Zhengping looked at it coldly that he knew that something was wrong, and when he hurriedly retreated and fled, Yang Zhengping raised the dagger in his hand and killed him.

"Kill him!" Li Jin shouted loudly and ordered the remaining subordinates to go up together, but he quietly retreated backwards.

The strings sounded again, and an arrow flew out of the darkness again, sticking into Li Jin's thigh. Chen Yue hung his crossbow behind him, jumped off the courtyard wall with a spear in his hand, and slashed into the crowd from behind.

After a short killing, all the attacking men were killed in the night, looking at the wife and children who were safe and sound at the door of the house, Yang Zhengping put away the short knife in his hand covered in blood, and knelt on the ground to thank Chen Jianghe and his son.

"It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, Brother Yang clean up and leave with me." Chen Jianghe smiled.

Yang Zhengping and his wife cleaned up the soft overnight, and left Chongnanfang with the child, Chen Jianghe temporarily arranged them in the old house in Tianshui Hutong, anyway, now the Chen family has moved to live in the coal yard outside the city, which is basically idle, and the entire Hutong and several nearby alleys are inhabited by Jingying military households, and no one dares to come here to make trouble.

"Engong saved the cheap and the dog, and Yang Zhengping's life was sold to Engong from then on!" Before leaving, Yang Zhengping knelt on the ground again and kowtowed to Chen Jianghe. didn't ask why Chen Jianghe's father and son also came to his house at night.

For Yang Zhengping, who is helpless and wandering around, he is fighting for his life there, Chen Jianghe is bold and appreciates himself, and it is a good choice to take refuge in him, which means that the family of three has a backer from now on, and no longer has to live a life of fear.

"Hahaha, Brother Yang, please hurry up, from now on, if I have a bite to eat from Chen Jianghe, I won't be hungry for you." Chen Jianghe laughed and helped Yang Zhengping up, winking at Chen Yue proudly.

After settling Yang Zhengping's family of three, Chen Yue followed Chen Jianghe out of the old house, climbed over the city wall with a hook, and returned to the coal yard.

Wu Wan'er and the three family members did not sleep, and when they saw that the Chen father and son had come back safely, they went back to the house to sleep.
