Ye Yong became a frequent visitor in the tea garden.

Under the fame, a tea garden is hard to find, and the most important thing in the capital is the rich and noble children of the Eight Banners, when those people spend thousands of dollars with each other in order to compete for seats, Ye Yong will no longer go to the tea garden, he can't afford to pay that money.

It's just that every time he goes on a business trip, Ye Yong always has to pass by the tea garden, and then stands alone at the threshold, straightens his body, and looks at the figure hovering on the stage from a distance, carrying a knife and leading a horse, looking forward to it.

Such a poor and sour style will only provoke a burst of ridicule from those squishy people.

After a play, the audience will shout and whistle and throw some jade and gold and silver folding fans on the stage.

The most valuable object in Ye Yong's hand, but the hundred refining knife in his hand was still given by Liu Bantou, and if he threw a knife on the stage, he would probably be laughed to death.

The audience coaxed to see the true face of the figure, and the figure on the stage bowed down with a smile, bowed and retreated, as usual, he would not really show his true face to these people.

At this time, Ye Yong would hold the handle of the knife very happily, but he also knew that he should go, and when he turned to leave, Ye Yong thought, what a woman who is self-respecting and self-respecting and not flattering and rich, but it is a pity that she has made a play.

But what about the play, the play is probably pitiful, the Tsing Yi swords and horses on the stage, love and hate, but it is just a big dream in life, and the audience is still humble and can't jump out.

The following year was Ye Yong's most difficult year.

There are frequent murders in Beijing, and there are even court officials who die bizarrely in the house, many murders, the deceased died in the same state, disemboweled, and the blood dried up, just like the Xiucai who died back then.

It is even rumored that in the Forbidden City, visions are frequent, and the dragon body is uneasy when the pilgrimage is made.

The capital of the capital and even the six ministries of the imperial court were under great pressure.

Ye Yong was the same, it should have been a good opportunity for him to show his skills and accumulate merits, but Ye Yong painfully found that Ye Yong could not find a single clue in the thick stack of files about the case accumulated in the official mansion.

He has also blamed the culprits on ghosts and demons countless times, but he is unwilling, if it is blamed on ghosts and gods, then the so-called dynasty law is a joke.

And the unevenness in Beijing did not stop because of this.

In the same year, Emperor Yongzheng rebuilt the Laojun Palace, and more Taoist priests entered the palace to offer Dan.

In the middle of July, the curfew in Beijing was two hours earlier than in the past, and Ye Yong led the officials to patrol at night, only to know that the reason for the early curfew was because a Taoist priest wanted to open an altar to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts.

Ye Yong felt ridiculous, he didn't think that these Taoist priests could stop the murder by throwing some paper money and burning some incense.

That night, just after the hour, there was a long howl in Beijing, and at the same time, the fog shrouded countless streets and alleys, and the fog was faintly filled with a disgusting fishy smell, and the same filled the ears, there was a miserable howl.

The officials around him were frightened, Ye Yong had to hold the knife, picked the white lantern alone, followed the sound to find it, and waited to find the place where the group of Taoist priests opened the altar, the scene in front of him made Ye Yong physically and mentally cold, none of the Taoist priests were alive, his face was blue, there were blood stains flowing out of the seven orifices, his eyes were round, and the huge tooth holes between his neck kept stirring Ye Yong's nerves.

Not far from the corpses of the group of Taoist priests, there were several headless corpses, as if they had been cut off with a knife, but the heads did not know where they went, Ye Yong examined the corpses, and was shocked to find that the smooth knife edge between the necks, except for a red red spot, there was no trace of blood flowing out, which was not logical.

Ye Yong twisted his fingers and sniffed it, he still recognized the cinnabar, but there was something mixed in this cinnabar, and it smelled a little weird.

In addition, nothing was found, Ye Yong had to report to Fu Yin, and it was another unsolved case.

However, to Ye Yong's surprise, the unsolved case did not really become an unsolved case, only early the next morning, the government actually posted a notice, saying that the demon in Beijing had been executed on the spot by Ye Yong, the head of the government office.

Just before Ye Yong could react, the rewards of the imperial court had already come down, three brocades and one hundred taels of gold.

Except for Ye Yong, no one was mentioned, and it seemed that all the rewards fell on Ye Yong alone.

Ye Yong, who got the reward, went to the government angrily, put the reward in front of the mansion, and asked why?

Fu Yin smiled bitterly and said: "Ye Bantou, the imperial court, you just take it, why bother with money?" Since it doesn't hurt you, why do you need to drill this bull's horn? ”

After listening to these words, Ye Yong understood that the court and the government needed to give the people an explanation or reassure them to maintain their face, as long as the people could accept it, it didn't matter if it was true or not.

Ye Yong, who understood, was silent for a long time, and distributed the three brocades to his servants, and went to the tea garden with a bag full of gold, and listened to the play for a whole day.

The reputation of the head of the Yaye team in the capital city for spending a lot of money soon spread.

But Ye Yong did not have the pleasure of squandering his daughter at all, and in the days that followed, Ye Yong still had no money to buy a seat, and still passed by the tea garden every day, rain or shine.

Until one day, it rained heavily.

Ye Yong leaned on the threshold, staring at the singing figure on the stage, but Dr. Tea brought a cup of tea at this time.

Before Ye Yong could thank him, Dr. Tea pointed to the stage and said, "The girl in the troupe ordered me to send it!" The team will come back in the future, and the tea will be sent! ”

Ye Yong suddenly felt that the tea was tasteless, so he only sneered softly and asked, "For the sake of the hundred taels of gold?" ”

Before Ye Yong's words fell, Dr. Tea came over with a bag of things, Ye Yong pinched it, it was the bag of gold.

Dr. Tea said, "This is also what the girl sent me back to the head of the class." ”

Ye Yong's hand holding the tea trembled slightly: "What else did she say?" ”

Dr. Tea replied again: "The girl also said that this gift is too heavy, and it is not appropriate to accept it, let Ye Bantou take it, but fortunately there is a family in the capital!" Ye Bantou is not young! ”

Ye Yong drank all the tea, didn't take it, and said with a smile: "The eldest husband only suffers from fame and fame, why should he have no wife?" ”

Ye Yongcai said that, and a hand reached over and snatched the bag of gold.

"That's a good thing, I'm afraid that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink! If you don't want any of this gold, why don't you fulfill it with me? ”

The man held the gold, took off his robe, and hung a ruler-long seedling knife obliquely between his hips.

Ye Yong was a little displeased, and reached out to grab the gold.

The man dodged and said with a smile: "Ye Bantou? Oh~, the poetry of the clouds, out of its east gate, there are women like clouds, although they are like clouds, I think about it. Where is the person Ye Bantou is thinking about? ”

Ye Yong's face gradually turned red, and he twisted and pinched for a long time, only asking, "What's the matter with you?" ”

The meaning of the man's smile was unknown, and he patted the gold in his arms: "Whether you please your wife or not has nothing to do with me, but this bag of gold should not have been taken by you, forget it for me!" ”

With that, the man untied his saber from his waist and snatched a chair for himself, but angered the flag man who fell to the ground after being robbed of his chair.

The man didn't care about it, he just slapped the Miao knife on the table and stared at the banner man: "You have a good head, you can't take it, it's a pity, it's a pity!" ”

The banner man's face changed, and he got up and left in hatred.

Ye Yong stared at the knife, and suddenly remembered the corpse that was beheaded that night......
