Chapter 187: A Turning Point

Hu Ye walked out of the school in a trance, because what Wang Wei said made him very worried.

Before I came, I made up my mind that I must bring those traffickers to justice. But now I realize that I can't do anything about it. It's not that Hu Ye didn't think that there were people behind those people, but some petty officials and the like, of course, were easy to bring down.

But listening to what Wang Wei said, there are not only the first and second members of the imperial court behind him, but also the royal family behind him. Should I go to this troubled water, and can I still hit this south wall!

Suddenly, Hu Ye suddenly remembered that when he first arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he told Xiaoqiang that he wanted to be a turtle for a lifetime, and Xiaoqiang's spirit of turtle was still taught by himself.

I had been doing very well before, but it wasn't until I met Lan Tingyue's group that I put down the shell of the turtle and wanted to do it in high spirits. But now Hu Ye felt that he seemed to have encountered a hurdle that he couldn't overcome, and the shell of the turtle was about to return to him unconsciously.

"Young master, you're fine!" Lao Qian saw Hu Ye walking out of the school in a trance, and hurriedly greeted him, and after holding Hu Ye, he asked with concern.

"There's nothing to do, nothing to do." Hu Ye said weakly.

Old Qian was in a hurry, and he had met this situation three times.

The first time was when Hu Ye provided information to Zhang Fu and learned that Zhang Fu's camp was eighty percent dead. The second time was after Hu Ye instigated the people of Beiping and wiped out the Zhou family. This is the third time, the first two times he had Zhang Fu by his side, but now he is not familiar with life, he is a rough man, where does he know how to enlighten Hu Ye.

"Young Master, where are you going now?" Old Qian said at a loss.

"It's errand time, of course, it's the warden's yamen." Hu Ye said and walked towards the warden's yamen. Seeing this, Lao Qian hurriedly followed, with the state of the young master, it is possible to fall on the road. If it's really the young master, what kind of loss. Let's not talk about his future, Zhang Fu will have to slaughter himself.

"A person is a good person, and an official is a good official, but it's a pity that he is not deeply involved in the world." In Wang Wei's room, the white-bearded Wang Wei looked at the door, surrounded by the residual fragrance of the withered osmanthus flowers, and said slowly.

"Come on, prepare the horse, I'm going to see the teacher."

When I came to mention the school, it only took a cup of tea. But walking back to the warden's yamen from the Tixue Mansion, Hu Ye walked for half an hour. Lao Qian only dared to follow behind him in a daze, he felt that the young master was in a bad mood now, and his intuition told him that the current young master could not be provoked.

Entered the warden's yamen. The officials looked at Hu Ye curiously, and they all came up curiously to ask.

Lao Qian saw that Hu Ye was speechless for a long time. The young master may have been stimulated by something. I had to walk forward with a smile, "Hehe, everyone, I accompanied the young master to Cui Liulou on Qilixiang Street today, and saw the treasure of the town building there, and the young master of my family just stared at it." It became what it is now. Hey, poor man, this is the heart that has been stolen by others. ”

To tell the truth, Lao Qian, the evil slave, is a good one. Speaking of words, it also sets off Hu Ye's identity as a gentleman. Those officials listened to Ha Lu Ha Da Lang's laughter, and they had also heard of Cui Liulou's name, how could the treasure of the town tower there be something that an unpopular petty official like Hu Ye could think of? Even if they are senior members of the DPRK and the cabinet, if they want to meet each other, they have to wait in line, let alone a small warden. So in the hearts of these officials, Hu Ye has become a gentleman who doesn't know the height of the sky, this is a toad who wants to eat swan meat and daydreams. But they didn't dare to show it, they just laughed together, and then went their separate ways.

"Old Qian, if you were to choose again, would you still be with me who is such a?" After those officials walked out, Hu Ye finally spoke, and there was always some boredom in his heart, not vomiting or unhappy.

"Young master, I recognize you as a person, I don't care if you go to heaven and earth, whether it is a relative of the emperor or a beggar, or a beggar called Huazi, I will follow you in this life. I believe the words of that old fairy, he must be right for me to follow you. Lao Qian said without hesitation.

"But do you know who is behind the traffickers? Even if ten more of me come, it won't be enough for them to stuff their teeth, what can I do now? Hu Ye sat on the floor with his butt and endured it for more than half an hour, and finally he could confide.

"Young Master, I don't care who is behind them, I only know that Young Master Lu Dao is invincible. When the young master had nothing, he dared to insult His Royal Highness King Yan in front of His Royal Highness King Yan. The result? His Royal Highness King Yan also treated the young master as a guest. Back then, the young master also had nothing, and he dared to go to the yamen of the town government to sue the town fusi, what was the result? and the whole house that had been pacified was destroyed. "Now that the young master has passed the exam, become an official, and have a bodyguard, he will definitely be able to do anything." If the young master feels that there is any difficulty, Lao Qian, I will take the lead and cut down those personal traffickers first, and see if they dare to do these hurtful things. Old Qian said viciously. Seeing Lao Qian's indignant look, Hu Ye felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, at least there was still an old money to use.

"Don't be reckless, there is a shadow of the royal family behind them, and it is possible that even the emperor knows about this matter. What does this mean? It shows that maybe even the emperor still acquiesces, if this is the case, even if we take our lives, it will have no effect at all. Hu Ye shook his head and said.

As soon as Lao Qian heard the ghost's scream, he immediately jumped up with his feet off the ground. "Royalty? Young master, you're not wrong, right? Falling to the ground, Lao Qian said with palpitations.

"This is what Wang Wei told me, seeing that he is a lot older, and he is about to return to his hometown, he shouldn't be guilty of lying to me." Hu Ye also thought about the authenticity of what Wang Wei said, but after thinking about it, he felt that Wang Wei had no need to deceive himself.

"The Emperor...... Emperor...... The royal family, that's not a joke, if it really makes a fuss, His Royal Highness King Yan won't be able to save people. Old Qian trembled for a while, completely losing the vigor he had just now.

"Otherwise, young master, I will be helpless?" Hu Ye glanced at Lao Qian, this thing just said confidently that he was here, but now he has changed his mind and wants to retreat.

"Less...... Young master, let's just forget about this matter, the royal family is not easy to mess with, they are not so reasonable as His Royal Highness King Yan. If you're not careful, you'll be wiped out. "Lao Qian is like a completely different person, as soon as he hears the word royal, he shudders, obviously for Zhu Yuanzhang is even more terrible than Zhu Di.

"Get out!" Hu Ye roared at Lao Qian, it was this thing who enlightened himself just now, why has he become a turtle with a shrunken head now. In fact, Lao Qian didn't enlighten Hu Ye just now, but just patted Hu Ye's ass. But this trick seems to be quite effective. The old Qian general and the young master seemed to be well, and after being kicked, he licked his face and came up.

"Young Master, don't worry. I was joking, but I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere. Old Qian said with a smile. Hu Ye glanced at him and didn't speak again, but thought about countermeasures.

"Young master, see if you can deal with the Zhou family like last time. With the help of the power of the people? "Old money began to offer advice.

"This is not Beiping, and this trick may not work. If something goes wrong. Immediately, he will be charged with inciting a popular uprising. Hu Ye frowned and said, he hadn't thought of this method before, but he was able to succeed in Beiping last time because the Zhou family did a lot of evil in Beiping, and all the people hated his family to the core, so he instigated it a little. And it worked. But this is in Nanjing, and there are Janissaries everywhere, and it is difficult for the people to make trouble. Moreover, the people's troubles have no impact on the members of the court and the royal family, at most they are labeled as homeless.

"What does the young master mean. We don't care? Old Qian asked cautiously.

"Get out, what Lao Tzu didn't want to care about just now, it was you who aroused the idle mind of this young master to meddle in things, why do you want to retreat now?" Hu Ye glanced at Lao Qian with disdain.

"Hehe, jokes, joking, why don't we go and chop up those scum?"

"To die? There are Praetorian Guards everywhere, you killed someone, just wait to go to prison. Hu Ye said viciously.

"So what the hell is going on? How about looking for Zheng Da? That's a master, and killing people doesn't leave a trace. Lao Qian's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a person like Zheng Da who protected Hu Ye, and it was not a problem to kill a few gangsters in and out of the army.

"Having said that, he is a person of King Yan, so we don't need it if we can. Besides, this problem, only killing those few traffickers, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, must clean up their backstage. Hu Ye's eyes flickered, and he was always looking for a way.

"Young master, you really want to fight the royal family, right?" Old Qian asked cautiously. "Don't talk nonsense, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, there is no good way now, let's go home first." Hu Ye looked at the sky outside, it was not early, it was time to go home. When he came out of the warden's yamen, he met a few errand officials coming back, and Hu Ye knew that although they had done a lot of bad things with Lu Shun, they might have been forced, after all, a drop of clear water falling into the muddy water would become as turbid sooner or later.

"If you can do the opposite." Hu Ye stared at a few people, but he had other ideas in his heart. "Warden, I'm going back." A servant said to Hu Ye.

"Well, that girl in Cui Liulou is really the best, Young Master Ben has to go back and find a way to get it." Hu Ye deliberately made a foolish appearance, and cooperated with the lie that Lao Qian told just now.

"Then I wish you success." Several officials seemed to be serious, but in fact, they had endless contempt for Hu Ye in their hearts.

"Cut, just like him, he still wants to mess with Cui Liulou's Ying girl, it's really a toad who wants to eat swan meat." As soon as Hu Ye came out of the warden yamen, several officials began to count him.

"Shhhh "I'm afraid that he will do something, if he doesn't know each other, Lu Zhutou will be able to drive him away. What is he a sesame official who is not in the stream, what is the ...... behind our Lu Zhutou" Before a servant could say anything, he felt that his head was patted, and he just wanted to scold, but he felt that his ass was kicked again.

"Do your business well, and don't get into trouble. This idle warden is good for all of us. After kicking the official away, Lu Shun said viciously.

"Yes, yes, my men remember." The official who was kicked heard Lu Shun's words, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly agreed. At this moment, Hu Ye had already walked out of the warden's yamen and began to walk towards the home on Yingtian Street. The sky is getting darker, but there are more and more pedestrians on the streets, most of whom are starting to prepare for the night market at night, and before the curfew, that is a good time to make money. After working all day, Hu Ye realized that he hadn't eaten today. It's been a long day.

"Old Qian, are you hungry?" Hu Ye asked slowly.

"I'm hungry." Old Qian answered truthfully, and his stomach began to ring.

"Let's go, let's eat a bowl of noodles." As he spoke, Hu Ye took the old money to a noodle stall that had just opened. I have been in Nanjing for more than a month, and I have not eaten street food, I don't know what is the difference between the noodle stall in Nanjing and Beiping, and whether it will have the same craftsmanship as Wang Laowu.

"Boss, let's have two bowls of noodles." Hu Ye sat on the chair and said to the boss.

"Okay, wait a minute." The owner is a middle-aged man. He looks older than Wang Lao Wu, but his body is not as strong as Wang Lao Wu, after all, he is not a person who came out of the army.

Soon, even if the boss came up with two bowls of noodles, it was also mutton, but it didn't taste as good as Wang Lao Wu's noodles. It always felt like something was missing. But now it's just filling in his stomach, and Hu Ye is not so picky. Stir up a ball of noodles with chopsticks and stuff it into your mouth.

But Hu Ye just stuffed it into his mouth. I noticed a middle-aged woman in ragged clothes not far away, looking at her hungrily, secretly swallowing saliva. Before Hu Ye could react, the boss had already started to drive people out, and it had just opened, and beggars came to the door to catch up with the business. It's unlucky.

"Boss, wait, let's bring her a bowl of noodles too." Hu Ye stopped the boss and beckoned to the middle-aged woman. The woman swayed and followed. The boss was very reluctant to get noodles, and he kept muttering, what is the matter of getting a beggar to come to his stall.

"What's your name and how did you get here?" Hu Ye put down his chopsticks and asked the woman who had just walked in.

The middle-aged woman sat cautiously on the chair and did not answer Hu Ye's words, but stared intently at the noodle bowl in front of Hu Ye. Seeing this, Hu Ye pushed the noodle bowl over, and the woman took the noodle bowl, not caring that it was eaten by Hu Ye, she picked up the chopsticks and ate them, so fast that even the old money was out of reach.

"Thank you, Childe, I remember the kindness of this bowl of noodles, and he will repay it again in the future." The woman quickly finished eating the noodles, then stood up and said to Hu Ye.

Hu Ye was stunned for a moment, this accent is so familiar, the last time I heard it was when I heard Yueniang say it at Wang Laowu's stall, so Hu Ye asked, "Are you from Sichuan?" ”

The woman was also taken aback, and hurriedly replied, "The old woman is indeed from Sichuan, I don't know ...... you Gongzi Dao."

"Sit down and talk, I grew up in Sichuan since I was a child, and if there are any difficulties, our fellow villagers should help me." Hu Ye pressed his hand and asked the woman to sit down, this kind of feeling of seeing a fellow villager has not been seen for a long time, especially in the Ming Dynasty, the transportation is extremely inconvenient, and if you want to run from Sichuan to Nanjing, you need not only money, but also perseverance. The woman also heard the Sichuan accent in Hu Ye's mouth, and immediately felt a lot more cordial, so she sat down.

Lao Qian didn't say a word at the moment, he only knew that Young Master Lu Dao was a son of a master, and he never knew where Young Master Lu Dao came from. Now the young master seems to have met his fellow countrymen, which makes Lao Qian suddenly feel interested. "What's your name, why did you come to Nanjing thousands of miles away, and you still ended up in such a field?" Hu Ye asked in Sichuanese.

"Hey, don't say it, so as not to trouble Gongzibai." The woman sighed.

"Hehe, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it, it's not easy for our fellow countrymen to meet in Nanjing, if you can help, I will naturally help." Hu Ye said.

The woman saw that Hu Ye really didn't look like a disciple of ordinary people, and she might really be able to help herself, so she opened her mouth and said, "The old woman's name is Wang Suxin, a native of Ba County, as for how to come back to Nanjing, but it's a long story. ”

"Ten years ago, the old woman's family lived a good life in Ba County, but one night, suddenly a group of wicked people rushed into the house, not only killed the head of the family, but also snatched our only daughter, who was only eight years old at the time." The woman couldn't help but sob.

"Didn't you report to the police?" Hu Ye asked.

"I did, but for a few years, there was no news. Originally, I was about to give up, but three years ago, I suddenly got a message from a fellow who had returned from Nanjing, saying that he seemed to have seen my daughter in Nanjing. "I thought that my daughter was fifteen years old at that time, and she had changed a lot, maybe my fellow was wrong. But when he took out the peace charm I had asked for for my daughter, I learned that my hard-working daughter had been abducted and sold to Nanjing and sent to the Qinglou. ”

"That's why the old woman came thousands of miles to Nanjing, just to see my hard-working daughter. But before I arrived in Nanjing, I had already exhausted my entanglements, and I had to beg all the way to Nanjing. But I didn't expect that there were so many green buildings on the Qinhuai River, I didn't know which building my daughter was in, and those watchdogs didn't let me in to find someone, so the old woman came to Nanjing for almost three years, and I didn't even see the face of my hard-working daughter. The old woman said helplessly.

Hu Ye heard it and knew a rough idea, it seems that this woman is the victim of that group of traffickers, but he didn't expect those people to be so rampant ten years ago, and they actually committed murder directly.

"What's your daughter's name, and do you have any tokens other than that peace charm?" Maybe I can help you find her. Hu Ye suddenly moved his mind, he could help this woman, but this woman might be able to help him solve the current trouble. (To be continued......)
