"It's really embarrassing, when the good hall was built, how many people applauded, and those who were lonely and helpless and couldn't take care of themselves had hope. But who knew there would be such a thing!"

The boss gave himself a bowl of wonton soup, took a sip and continued: "Now the person in charge of the Shantang is called Hu Lai, and it is said that someone above is on an errand in the East Palace, so he grabbed this rich fat gap. The helpless and unwealthy people in the good hall were all kicked out by him for various reasons, not to mention, in order to prevent the people above from noticing, he used extraordinary means against the beggars here, trying to drive them all out of this area. ”

"Now, Shantang has become Hu Mansion, and the people who live there have to pay so much rental fee every month...... "The boss stretched out his hand and spread five fingers, "It's a full 500 Wen! ”

The construction of the Shantang is not small, enough for dozens of people to move in at the same time, and Hu Lai Gongbao has his own private pocket, and he treats the Shantang as his own private property and collects money at will. In this way, the monthly income is very considerable.

It's no wonder that he is ruthless enough to do such an angry thing - the so-called people die for money, but Hu Lai is to let others die in exchange for his own glory and wealth.

"As far as I know, the people who live in the church are either lonely or have difficulty taking care of themselves, where do they get the money to pay such a high rental fee?"

The boss laughed, a little mocking, "Don't you know, there are many ruthless white-eyed wolves in this world." Do you know how many people in the good hall were sent in by their own relatives? Not to mention the old people, even the children - some rich people don't want to take care of the old and young, so they simply stuff money and send people in. It's a lot of trouble!"

The two talked to the extreme, and Jiang Jingyu noticed that a head poked out of the mouth of the alley and stared at the two of them ghostly.

"Someone is coming. He motioned to Shen Xizhi, "I don't know who it is, don't startle the snake first." ”

Before Shen Xizhi could react, the boss first glanced at it pretending to be unintentional, and then his expression was shocked, "Then, that's Hu Lai's subordinates! I'm afraid the arrival of the two has already made them know! What can I do?"

"Is it really Hu Lai's person?" Shen Xizhi didn't rush to see it, but asked inexplicably.

The boss was about to nod, but he was afraid of being discovered, so he had to say: "Of course, the little one will never admit his mistake." Alas, I'm afraid I won't be able to do business these days......"

"Who-"

The person at the mouth of the alley suddenly screamed, and then there was silence.

"What about people, this and this, this ......" The boss rubbed his eyes and looked at the empty alley.

He didn't know what was going on, but Shen Xizhi had already guessed it. Jiang Jingyu is a prince anyway, and now he is ordered by the emperor to form a patrol army, and his identity cannot be the same, and there are many people who are staring in the dark.

Therefore, Jiang Jingyu is bound to have people around him who are secretly protecting him.

Shen Xi's heart was settled, and only after listening to the boss's words, did she realize that Nashantang was no longer a good place to go. However, with Jiang Jingyu's secret guard protection, it is not impossible to break through.

"I'm tired of you today, I'm afraid there will be changes in the past few days, so let's close for a few days. She said and gave the boss some more silver, which calmed the man down.

Behind him, the boss smiled and thanked him, and Jiang Jingyu had already pulled Shen Xizhi into the alley.

"Lord Wang. Wei He emerged from the shadows, and at his feet was a terrified man who had been tied up with five flowers.

"Have you found out?" Jiang Jingyu asked him.

Wei He said: "It's all found out, Hu Lai, the steward of Shantang, was originally unknown, and the family was supported by his eldest brother Hu Jun, and Hu Jun was the head of the guard in the East Palace. This incident was also begged by Hu Jun for Hu Lai. ”

"If this matter is known to the emperor......" Wei He suddenly lost his words.

Shen Xizhi's heart was turbulent. It is already very appalling that Shantang has become private property, and this matter is really related to the East Palace - whether the prince knows what the Hu Jun brothers did or not, he, as the master, actually allowed the Hu Jun brothers to do nothing, no matter what.

"No wonder...... We had only been here for a quarter of an hour when we were targeted. ”

At this time, the tied man let out a whimper, and although he was gagged, his eyes were full of panic. He knew he had heard something he shouldn't have heard, and he wanted to pretend to be dead and faint, but his body trembled because he was too scared.

"First send someone into the palace to inform my father, and then bring a team of people to arrest people. Jiang Jingyu was resolute and prepared to cut through the mess quickly.

Wei He responded, "Then what should I do with this person?"

Suddenly, there was a smell of urine in the alley.

Jiang Jingyu: "If he can use it for himself, he can live well, if he can't ......"

"Hmmmm!" the man whimpered and nodded vigorously, and even supported his body to kowtow to Jiang Jingyu, the meaning of surrender was very obvious.

After a while, the man sneaked out of the alley, and when he passed by the wonton shop, he found that the shop was closed and the owner had gone. He secretly scolded the other party in his heart for running fast, but he also left in a hurry.

Shen Xizhi and the three of them walked out of the alley after the man left, "Just let him go, aren't you afraid that he will turn back?"

Jiang Jingyu took her to Shantang slowly, "If it's against the water, it will be solved together." ”

Shen Xizhi was no longer entangled, but followed and walked side by side with him.

The man rushed all the way back to the good hall, and when he entered the door, he knocked down Hu Lai's wife, and Hu Mo was so angry that he scolded, and the posture was even more terrible than that of ordinary shrews. When the people in the good hall saw it, they turned their heads and moved away.

However, the man ignored him and rushed directly into Hu Lai's study.

Hu Lai didn't read anything, but as the steward of Shantang, he thought about how to pretend, so he deliberately got a study and came out. And his study is just a resting place for him to sneak and cheat.

"Boss, boss is not good!" the man shouted as he approached, and Hu Lai was so frightened that he splashed his tea.

"Are you tired of being alive?" Hu Lai scolded loudly, "I told you to keep an eye on people, what are you doing when you come back?

His scolding made the man stunned for a moment, and the words in his heart quietly changed, he clenched his fists and said, "The boss is clear, the little one has already gone to see it!"

Hu Lai gave him a blank look, "Then why do you say it's bad? What are the identities of those two?"

Hu Lai is powerful in this area, and he has a lot of eyeliner, and he guards against people with eyes from coming over on weekdays, for fear that the secret of Shantang will be discovered. Today is also a coincidence, not long after Shen Xizhi and the two came over, they were discovered by Hu Lai's men.
