"Young master, you're fine."

Out of the prison gate, Lao Qian asked Hu Ye with great concern, and he saw that Hu Ye almost vomited all the bile.

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Hu Ye wiped the corners of his mouth, then came to a stone bench next to him and sat down, stroked his stomach and said.

Those officials were also apprehensive at the moment, and if they had been locked up yesterday, they might have become a pile of cold corpses by now.

"My lord, do you want to investigate this matter?" A servant asked in a whisper.

"You're going to check?" Hu Ye glanced at this servant.

The matter has come to this point, and everyone else has come to kill people in the prison of the swaggering Taoist priest Yamen, afraid that you will find evidence? They are not small characters like Wang Youtian, and they don't even have some evidence they want to find on the scene.

Originally, there should have been some footprints in the corridor inside the prison, but just now a few of my own people rushed in, and they must have stepped on the footprints or something. But even if you find the footprints, it's useless.

"Could it be that there was no one on duty at the warden's yamen last night?" After thinking for a while, Hu Ye asked a few officials coldly.

"My lord, it's wronged, we were on duty outside the yamen all night last night, and we never came in, so we can testify." The two officials knelt down in fear, very afraid that Hu Ye would count this matter on their heads.

Hu Ye looked at the two officials with disdain, even if they were given ten guts, they would not dare to do such a thing, it must be the proprietress of Wanghuai Tower, or her backstage someone to do it.

"Get up. You don't have the guts to do that. Hu Ye stood up, and then said, "You clean up here, I'll go to the government office, this matter is so big, nearly fifty people died at once, it's time to notify the government Yin." ”

After speaking, Hu Ye took the old money and walked to the government office, leaving a few officials with a wry smile, and then began to tidy up the lifeless prison.

"Please report it, the warden Hu Ye has something to ask to see Lord Yin." Come to the door of the government office. Hu Ye said to the guard at the door.

Last time, Hu Ye wanted to see Fu Yin. was stopped by these two officials. But this time, the two officials did not stop it, but sent someone in to report it, because the movement that Hu Ye made yesterday was too big, and they were all a little shocked. Zhilu said that Hu Ye was a master who was not easy to mess with. It's better to provoke less.

Hu Ye looked at the official who went in to report. sighed in his heart, "Sure enough, you still have to show some prestige, otherwise even the officials will dare to bully." ”

"Come with me. Lord Fu Yin wants to add you. After a while, the official came out and took Hu Ye into the mansion.

This is the second time Hu Ye has entered the palace, the first time was when he took office, at that time he had a holy decree in his hand, and Lu Chun had to see it. This time there was such a big thing, and he had to see it, after all, he was the governor of this Ying Tianfu, managing the entire Nanjing City.

"You're not a little daring."

As soon as he entered the door, Hu Ye heard Lu Chun start to ask him about his master.

"I don't know what Lord Yin of the Daoist Mansion is talking about? If it is bold to arrest a few thieves who trespass into private houses, the courage of the lower officials is indeed not small. Hu Ye said quietly.

"Do you know the Wanghuai Tower behind Wang Youtian? Who is the proprietress in that building? Lu Chun walked out leisurely, came to Hu Ye's side, and said in a solemn tone.

"I don't know who she is, she should be a relative of the prince and noble." Hu Ye guessed.

"Do you know the person who dares to arrest her?" Lu Chun sneered, "Do you think I don't know what they are doing to them?" But I can't help it, her cousin is Chongshan Hou, I have to salute when I see it, and there is a prince's figure behind him, how dare you provoke this kind of power? ”

"You are majestic, and those people have been sentenced, presumably the official document of the Criminal Department has come down today, right?" Lu Chun looked at Hu Ye the same, and seeing that his expression did not move, he knew that he was right.

"Do you think that by relying on the criminal law on the paperwork, you can make people like Wang Youtian confess their backstage? If I'm not mistaken, you're here this time for the death of Wang Youtian's group, right? Lu Chun said slowly.

Hu Ye broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, this Lu Chun said it word for word, as if he had experienced his own affairs, and even Wang Youtian's death of more than fifty people was guessed very accurately. Lin Feng now wondered if the death of those people was this Lu Chun's ghost.

"Don't be surprised, this is their usual style, and if you want to catch them, it's not something that a petty official like you can do." Lu Chun sighed, "Okay, you go back, be careful recently." Leave the dead man's affairs to me, and there are quite a few such things to deal with anyway. The previous time, I also collected the body of a warden by the way. ”

After Hu Ye came in, he only said one sentence, followed by Lu Chun's tirade, but Hu Ye didn't feel that Lu Chun was verbose at all, because Lu Chun was teaching himself how to be an official. Especially in the last sentence, he is reminding himself that those people are very retaliatory.

"Thank you, Lord Yin." Hu Ye walked out of the mansion with a solemn face, he was now sure that Lu Jie brought someone here yesterday to wipe his buttocks, and there was no hostility towards this Lu Chun in his heart.

It's just that Lu Chun's way of being an official made Hu Ye very unhappy, you are also a third-grade master, just in your jurisdiction, your subordinates were assassinated, and you still know who is behind the Dao, shouldn't you say something?

However, Hu Ye is not worried about the revenge of those people, can they still be stronger than the assassination of so many people in the world? Anyway, I already have enough enemies, and I don't care about another one.

Since you're going to on people's heads, don't blame me for being rude.

So after Hu Ye walked out of the mansion, he took the old money and killed Wanghuai Tower, he wanted to see, what if he went to the wolf's pond and tiger's den, he didn't believe that he couldn't get out today.

"Young master, you really want to go, last time you kidnapped other people's top cards, and also wiped out their thugs, this time you ...... go in" Walking at the door of Dinghuai Gate, Lao Qian said with a trace of worry.

"You're scared of a fart. In broad daylight, where would they dare to do such a thing, otherwise they would not have secretly poisoned them in the middle of the night. This time, young master, I'm not here to make trouble, I want to get back the money that belongs to me. Hu Ye snorted coldly, his 1,000 taels of silver have been placed there for two days, and if the interest is calculated, there should be more than 1,000 taels, how can it be justified if he doesn't get it back.

Lao Qian touched the horizontal knife on his waist tightly, and his heart was crossed, so many assassinations at this moment have survived. Afraid that a small Wanghuai Tower will not succeed?

Soon the two came to the Qinhuai River. Seeing that the prosperous wharf in the past has been a little depressed, and the few large boats that were parked before have disappeared, replaced by some small passenger boats, at most sending off passengers in the Qinhuai River.

Lin Feng knew that the business of this kind of trafficker was only temporarily suppressed. It is impossible to completely eradicate it.

"Let's go. Come in with me. Hu Ye looked up at the signboard of Huai Lou. He walked in with the old money.

Wanghuai Tower is still as popular as ever, and it has not become depressed because of this incident, but the thugs who shuttle in it have changed their appearance. It seems to be a bit more low-key.

Many girls still don't know about Li Xiao's disappearance, they only know that Li Xiao was called to the house by a son the day before yesterday, and then he never came back. And now that this son is here again, he may have redeemed Li Xiao directly.

So all these women gathered around, wanting to touch the light of this son.

Hu Ye knew that the proprietress would not tell these girls about this kind of thing, otherwise it would cause a riot, and he didn't want these people to know too much, so he asked Lao Qian to open a way and went straight to the second floor.

It's still the original room, and Wanghuai Pavilion is the best place.

"Childe, do you still want to order Miss Xinyue?" A girl pushed open the door of Wanghuai Pavilion and said coquettishly.

"No, call your old mother." Hu Ye said loudly.

The girl was stunned when she heard this, there is a beautiful girl who is not called, why do you want to find an old mother? Does this kid have quirks? But weren't the first two times all looking for Xinyue?

But she didn't dare to ask more, so she went straight to call the old mother.

Hu Ye knew that now that he had torn his face with Wanghuailou, if he called Xinyue again, he would not be cheering her up, but harming her. So he called the proprietress directly this time.

"Hehe, this is a talented warden, he is really a hero and a young man." After a while, the proprietress of Wanghuai Tower came to Wanghuai Pavilion, holding a pot of tea and two teacups.

"Old mother, let's meet again." Hu Ye said quietly.

"Childe, have you ever heard that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky?" The old mother laughed as she came across the table and slowly poured the tea.

"I have only heard that man will conquer heaven, and as for what is outside the heavens, I don't believe it, because there is nothing outside the heavens." Hu Ye replied slowly.

The old mother was shocked by Hu Ye's answer, and those who dared to answer like this were either dependent or crazy. But through this incident, she has already seen that Hu Ye is definitely not a madman, which can only show that Hu Ye has a lot of support behind him.

So at the moment of pouring the tea, the old mother turned the mechanism on the handle of the teapot and poured tea for Hu Ye and herself.

This old mother doesn't know what to say, Hu Ye is actually saying the truth, there is really nothing outside the sky, because beyond the universe is nothingness. However, this kind of thing was incomprehensible to the people of the Ming Dynasty, and Hu Ye did not plan to explain it to her.

So Hu Ye took the initiative to pick up the teacup and slowly put it to his mouth.

"Young Master!" Lao Qian snorted, very afraid that the tea was poisonous.

Hu Ye was not stopped by Lao Qian, but poured it down in one go.

"Hehe, Childe is really so courageous, aren't you afraid that I will poison the tea?" The old mother also did it in one go, and then said with a smile.

"Poisoned? It is estimated that you don't have the courage yet, and it is estimated that you also know that I have a holy decree, and killing me is disrespectful to the imperial power, and then you won't be able to open this Wanghuai Tower. Your cousin Chongshan Hou will also suffer, and maybe the one in the palace will be implicated. Hu Ye said with an unchanged face, then turned his head and looked at the dock, "The smoke cage is cold and the moon is long, and Qin Huai is close to the restaurant at night." The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the backyard flowers across the river. ”

"Du Mu's poem back then exhausted the prosperity of the Qinhuai River, I am afraid that I can't imagine that the Qinhuai River will become like this in a few hundred years." Hu Ye muttered.

"Childe is very literate, but I don't know something. Please also ask the son to give advice. The old mother said.

"Ask, I'll answer if I can, maybe we'll have to deal with each other in the future." Hu Ye said slowly.

"Since you know that behind me is Chongshan Hou, as well as the people in the palace, where did you get the courage to dare to confront us? And how did you choose this time to do it? The old mother asked curiously.

In fact, she had already done an investigation on Hu Ye's background yesterday, only to know that Hu Ye was a candidate from Beiping, and then passed the exam, and then became a pawn, so she didn't see anything special. She didn't understand where Hu Ye got the courage, and even so many Beijing officials in the capital didn't dare to take care of it. He, a newly-appointed warden, dared to intervene sideways.

"Courage? Actually, I don't have much courage. My favorite thing is to be a turtle in the water, how good it is to shrink in the shell and have no quarrel with the world. It's just that this incident happened to me, and it was an old acquaintance who was framed by you by mistake, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted so much effort. Hu Ye replied.

"I wonder what benefits Lu Dao will do to Childe? Is it possible to increase the rank of knight? Or can you glorify your ancestors? Isn't Childe afraid that he will accidentally fall to his death while walking in the middle of the night? The old mother asked quietly. The threat in the words is strong.

"No good. I don't want to be knighted either. As long as I think it's right, I'll do it. This time it was my negligence that allowed you to get the first shot. I have nothing to say. But next time you do this kind of thing, let me catch it again, but I won't be so lucky. ”

Hu Ye originally wanted to turn this matter over, but the tone of this proprietress was very dragging and threatening, which made people very uncomfortable to listen to, if she didn't fight back, she would really become a turtle.

"Ha Luha, Childe really has the courage, I wonder if Childe Lu Dao is interested in meeting my cousin? He should be very interested in a young talent like you, and when the time comes, he will arrange an errand casually, and it will not be countless times higher than this warden's fortune? Seeing that the coercion could not be achieved, the old mother changed it to a lure, and she also saw that Hu Ye was a talent, bold enough, if he could pull down his own camp, maybe the profits in the future would be several times higher than now.

"I'm not interested, I'm only doing things for Daming." Hu Ye snorted coldly, and then said, "When it comes to the problem of Yulu, I remember it, the day before yesterday, I spent 1,000 taels of silver in your Wanghuai Tower, and if you count the interest for two days, you should give me back 1,200 taels." ”

"Ha Luha, the interest of one percent a day is really more usurious than the loan shark, I don't know if the young man of Lu Dao will be supported to death if he takes this money." The old mother's tone became gloomy, "Childe kidnapped me and I haven't settled the account for you yet, but you came to ask for money, I don't know where does Gongzi think there is such a good thing in the world?" ”

"First, the two hundred taels are not usury, but just a fee for my mental damage. Second, I didn't kidnap your number one card, I saved people from fire and water. Thirdly, I don't have a big appetite, but I can still eat a few thousand taels of silver. Hu Ye said quietly.

"What if I don't give it?" The old mother said coldly.

"Don't give it?" Hu Ye snorted coldly, "It seems that Li Xiao hasn't gone far yet, I can call her back, and then reason with you." I heard that the veterans who were rewarded yesterday are still there, and the old man Yan Shenggong is also in Nanjing, he is a saint in the world after educating the world, I don't know what the consequences will be if he knows what the consequences of these things will be? ”

"Oh, by the way, it seems that I also heard that Zhang Tianshi also made a statement yesterday, saying that this year's drought is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. If the emperor is told about any man-made disasters that may lead to a great drought, I wonder if the emperor will be angry. ”

When the old mother heard this, her face suddenly changed, listening to Hu Ye's words, it was clear that she came prepared, and she would not give up if she didn't get the money. And Hu Ye is right. Whether it is those veterans, or Yan Shenggong, or Zhang Tianshi, their words in front of the emperor will definitely be more effective than Chongshan Hou.

She couldn't help but guess that the emperor wouldn't reward the veteran today, it was this Hu Ye who made the ghost, right? Moreover, Nayan Shenggong also came to Nanjing with Hu Ye, and he must have nothing to do with Hu Ye.

Thinking about it carefully, this Hu Ye's backstage doesn't seem to be weaker than himself.

"Childe is a good worker, we can only eat this loss in a muffled voice." The old mother snorted coldly, then took out 1,200 taels of silver tickets and put them in front of Hu Ye.

"I advise Gongzi, Nanjing City is only so big, you can't look up and look down." The old mother said and walked out of Wanghuai Pavilion angrily.

"By the way, in the future, we will not welcome the son in Wanghuai Pavilion, if the son wants to find a girl, go find it somewhere else!"

Then came the sound of her laughing, presumably meeting an old customer outside.

"It's so fast to change faces." Hu Ye smiled lightly, then put the silver ticket into his arms, stood up and prepared to leave.

"Young master, really won't you come to Wanghuai Tower in the future? I see that Miss Xinyue looks good, and the young master is also thirteen, it's time to find a young grandmother. Lao Qian followed behind Hu Ye and said slowly.

He has relaxed now, and there would have been a sword and sword shadow once, but he didn't expect it to be solved in a few words.

"Get out!"

Hu Ye roared, there are many green buildings on the Qinhuai River, even if you want to go shopping, you don't have to come to this Wanghuai Tower, and how can this young master's future wife be looking for it in the green building.

In the process of walking out of Wanghuai Tower, Hu Ye met Xin Yue again, he did not step forward to speak, but nodded his head, if it wasn't for Xin Yue's help, this case would not be easy to solve.

"Young master, why don't you go up and say hello?" Old Qian asked curiously.

"What so much nonsense, do you have enough to eat for a day?" Hu Ye glanced at the old money, and then strode out.

Old Qian muttered a few words, and also felt that he had followed.

At this time, the old mother on the second floor naturally saw this scene in her eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes. (To be continued......)
