A moment later.

A group of three people dressed in casual clothes came to the so-called Yulin Street.

Yulin Street is located in the bustling area of the inner city, not too far from Wu City.

With the fame of Deshantang during this time, Chen Zheng inquired casually and found its specific address.

People came and went on the street, and at the end of the market, the door of a hall was wide open, and there was a large open space in front of the door.

In the open space, several teenagers with vegetables on their faces worked together, either cleaning, or pulping laundry to dry, or weaving bamboo baskets, and the work was in full swing;

In addition to this, there are also adult men shouting to fight bags of grain from the hall, and then push them into the cart, I don't know where they are being delivered.

Seeing Chen Zheng's suspicious expression, Chang Qing explained:

"My lord, it is said that Deshantang has to give porridge to all parts of the city every day, and this food should be used for soup kitchen."

Chen Zheng nodded, and after observing for a while:

"Go around and ask around, this charity hall has been open here for more than two months, and these neighbors around should have a lot of contact, go to them to find out the situation."

"Yes!"

Chang Qing Chai Tiefeng and the others didn't say a word, so they went separately to look for targets along the street and probe.

Chen Zheng was not idle, he walked for a while, came to a stall selling sugar cakes on the street, bought a sugar cake, and talked about it by the way.

"This lord, do you ask Deshantang?"

The vendor is a rather talkative old man, and after Chen Zheng's inquiry, he immediately opened the conversation:

"Hey, if you want to talk about this Deshan Hall, that's amazing, the boss of the Baiyu Building is really a good man with a bodhisattva's heart, and he has to put porridge in the outer city once a day when he opens this good hall, but he has lived the lives of many beggars.

In this world, you also know that rich old men only want to scrape oil and water from the bodies of poor ghosts, so that they can take food out to give relief, which is really as rare as a living Buddha......

Under the old man's chatter, Chen Zheng soon had a general understanding of this Deshan Hall, and couldn't help asking:

"Who is the owner of the White Jade Building?"

The old man smiled:

"The boss of the White Jade Building has been here a few times, and the old man was fortunate enough to see it once. That boss is a woman, with a beautiful appearance, and she is a woman who does not let her eyebrows go, and I don't know whose ancestral grave can smoke and marry such a strange woman."

Woman......

Ji Xunyi also mentioned this information, and Chen Zheng asked a few more words, but what the other party knew was a rough idea, and there was no special information.

After a while, Chang Qing and the others went and returned, and Chen Zheng stepped aside and listened to the report of the two:

"My lord, this Deshan Hall is indeed opened by the boss of the White Jade Building."

"The owner of Bai Yulou is called Bai Ruyan, and he has been operating Bai Yulou in the north of the city for several years, and for more than two months, this Deshan Hall has to spend hundreds of catties of food every day to give porridge in different places in the outer city, and Bai Ruyan often comes out to give relief in person, and now it seems to be on the side of the shed in the west of the city."

"And it is said that a few clever beggars and homeless people will be left behind by them to work in the charity hall, so now in the slums of the outer city, this white as smoke has become a bodhisattva-like existence."

This doesn't seem to be a problem, Chen Zheng frowned slightly, and then saw a few teenagers at the door of Shantang not far away, who were busy with the work at hand and began to track and fight, and suddenly said:

"Those at the door should be the helpers recruited by Deshantang from the beggars? Go and call two of them and ask about the situation."

Although Chang Qing didn't know why, he complied, stepped forward quickly, and beckoned to the two big boys who rushed to the street to track him:

"Little ghost, are you from Deshantang?"

When the two teenagers saw a stranger questioning, they were stunned for a moment, and nodded with vigilance and vigilance on their faces.

Chang Qing pretended to be kind, and took out a few copper baht from his arms and shook them:

"When you come here, I have something to ask you, and if the answer is good, I will buy you meat to eat."

Even if you work in the good hall, you eat meat

It is a very extravagant thing, and the eyes of the two teenagers who are no more than twelve or thirteen years old lit up, and they hesitated:

"What does the master want to ask?"

Chang Qing gestured, and led the sweeping boy to Chen Zheng at the corner of the street: "Chen Da...... Boss, you ask."

The two teenagers were barely neatly dressed, with patches on them, and there were still a lot of unhealed chilblains on their hands, looking at themselves and the others with a wince, Chen Zheng asked peacefully:

"What's your name?"

Perhaps it was the temptation to eat meat, and the two teenagers said boldly:

"My name is Huzi."

"My name is Dog."

"Are you a new helper from Tak Shan Tang?"

"Yes, Sister Bai is a great good person. After my mother left, I had to beg for food on the street. Last month, when Sister Bai was giving soup porridge, she saw that I was pitiful and brought me here."

"Who is Sister Bai?"

"Ugh...... Sister Bai is Sister Bai, and it seems that she opened the good hall."

"Do you know, how many helpers like you have been recruited in this good hall?"

Huzi obviously hadn't learned arithmetic, so he pinched his fingers and counted for a long time before he said, "There may be thirty or forty of them...... Right?"

But the dog baby said, "There are more than forty, and there may be sixty or seventy of them."

"So many?"

Chen Zheng raised his eyebrows:

"All like you, were beggars before?"

Huzi scratches his head:

"Almost, there are a few adults, anyway, there are people in every neighborhood who want food, I know several of them, sir, what are you asking for?"

"A boy my friend knows was also recruited to Shantang, but he disappeared inexplicably when he got off work, so I came to help inquire."

Ji Xunyi has already told the name and even the physical characteristics of the missing beggar, Chen Zheng said:

"There's one named Ah Le, who is not tall or short, with a missing front tooth and a missing piece of his scalp here, do you two know each other?"

The dog baby immediately said:

"I know, I know, I know him, and I have spoken to him!"

"But I haven't seen him since the other day, and I don't know what's going on."

Chen Zheng narrowed his eyes:

"In a situation like this, where someone suddenly doesn't come, is there anything else in the good hall?"

The two teenagers looked at each other and said uncertainly:

"Like, no......

Those who can grow so big by begging on the streets are often very clever and precocious, and they felt that something was wrong from Chen Zheng's questioning, and they immediately felt apprehensive in their hearts.

The two teenagers knew very little, Chen Zheng signaled, asked Chang Qing to hand over the copper baht to the two, and gave him a few silver baht, and then admonished:

"You collect the money yourself, and what I asked you just now will be treated as if it didn't happen, and no one will reveal it after returning to the Shan Tang, understand?"

So much money at once. The two teenagers were surprised and frightened:

"Thank you, thank you, sir."

"We're not going to talk about it!"

After collecting the money, the two ran away and returned to Shantang.

Chang Qing heard it at the moment:

"My lord, do you suspect that there is a cat in this good hall?"

"Whether it's boring or not, it still needs to be verified."

Chen Zheng pondered:

"You say, today's white as smoke, maybe he is also cooking porridge outside?"

Chai Tiefeng nodded:

"I heard that it is, do you want to go and see it?"

"Of course."

Chen Zheng's eyes sparkled:

"I have to see if this person is a human or a ghost......

Nothing else.

After setting the itinerary, Chang Qing and the two immediately inquired, and then went straight to the shed street in the west of the city.

The so-called shack is actually a slum in the outer city.

The roads here are dilapidated, sewage is flowing everywhere, and there are people with yellow faces and thin muscles, even beggars and displaced people, and even the occasional dead corpse on the roadside.

Lingqiu County has a population of nearly one million, and only a small part of them can be clothed and fed, and a large number of poor people in the outer city have no land to plant, most of them are hungry and full, and their lives are unbearable, and a large number of beggars are also breeded.

In this case, the belly can't be filled, let alone reading and practicing martial arts to change your fate.

The inner city and the outer city are completely two worlds.

And when Chen Zheng and the other three inquired all the way and found the location of the soup soup in Deshantang, it was already crowded with people.

The soup kitchen set up a simple porridge shed in a simple open space, and hundreds of poor people and even beggars around the place surrounded the water and waved the broken bowls in their hands excitedly.

The noise was shocking, and there were several powerful men in front of the porridge shop to maintain order, and in the shop, there was a woman dressed in white, while directing, and personally serving bowls of porridge to the people in line.

Every person who received the porridge was grateful and grateful.

Even if it was more than ten zhang apart, Chen Zheng could see that the woman was about thirty years old, and she was quite beautiful, and he immediately frowned:

"That is the boss of Bai Yulou, white as smoke?"

Chang Qing and Chai Tiefeng hadn't seen each other, and said uncertainly:

"It should be, right?"

"It's so young, it seems that he still has martial arts......

After the crowd, Chen Zheng stared:

"In this world, it is impossible for an ordinary woman to run such a big restaurant without being coveted, and it is natural that she has some ability, the key is whether she has any other background......

Chang Qing said very knowingly: "My lord, give us two days, and we will definitely find out this person's background!"

Chen Zheng nodded:

"Okay, I'll leave this to you. In addition, check for me how many people have been recruited into the Shan Tang, and whether any of these people have disappeared inexplicably, but remember not to startle the snake."

The two of them immediately agreed in unison:

"Yes!"

......

In the blink of an eye, it was night.

Dead.

There are several large shops in the hall, where most of the homeless beggars who have been called in to help sleep here.

In the sound of snoring, in the room with nearly a dozen people, Huzi and Dog Wa were lying in the corner, one was asleep, and the other was tossing and turning.

As if he had finally made up his mind, the dog baby, who had been rolling and not falling asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, and then nudged the tiger beside him.

After shaking for a while, Huzi woke up, and the dog baby immediately made a silent gesture, and then tiptoed to put on his clothes and jump out of bed.

Huzi thought that the dog baby woke him up to pee together, so he could only reluctantly mumble a few words, and then put on his clothes and went out of the house, walking in the direction of the thatched house.

The night breeze in early spring was still cold, and the tiger who came out was excited, and complained:

"Dog, you're so bold on weekdays, do you have to call me when you hurry up to pee?"

"Be quiet!"

However, the dog baby was different from before, covering Huzi's mouth very nervously, and at the same time didn't know where to take out a small package on his back:

"Don't talk nonsense, I've packed all your stuff for you, let's get out of here tonight!"

"Huh!?"

Huzi was taken aback:

"Are you crazy? Stay here well, have work to do, have food, maybe you can get the appreciation of Sister Bai and Uncle Hai, practice martial arts, why do you want to leave? Just because of the questioning of those three unknown people in the morning?"

The dog's immature but weather-beaten face showed an uneasy look:

"Not bad. Those three people are obviously masters from the government, can't you see it?

I

I came more than a month earlier than you, and I saw a lot of helpers coming and going. I thought about it carefully, and there were several beggars like us, all of whom seemed to have not appeared recently.

Uncle Hai said before that they were going to the restaurant to help, and I didn't care, but I secretly went to the restaurant this evening to see it, and there were no such people at all! Say, 'Where have they gone?'

Huzi is also a smart one, and horror appeared on his face:

"Could it be that this good hall is actually a nest of human teeth?"

"I don't know, but I always felt like it would be dangerous to stay."

The dog baby said anxiously:

"Alright, now is not the time to talk nonsense, let's get out of here first!"

Huzi nodded in surprise, and the two and a half teenagers looked around silently, then ran out of the big house and went straight to the gate position.

At this moment, a low voice suddenly sounded: "You two, where are you going?"

A tall shadow appeared like a ghost in their path, looking at it with an indifferent look.

"Hai, Uncle Hai......"

Facing the sudden appearance of the figure, the two teenagers' faces turned pale, and the tiger baby was in a hurry, and said:

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the two of us can't sleep, and we all want to come out and see the moon!"

The strange man known as Uncle Hai sneered:

"You have the audacity to lie in front of me?"

Before the words fell, a whew!

He suddenly made a move, grabbed the necks of the two teenagers with a thunderous force, and directly stunned them.

At this time, two men arrived when they heard the commotion, and they were surprised, "My lord?"

"These two little things don't know what they found, and they want to run away."

Blood Spirit Dao Protector Xue Ruhai said lightly:

"Inform the white dragon and let her come to the backyard immediately."

Then, he carried the two teenagers to the backyard, where no one else was allowed to step into it at will, and then came to an underground secret room through the secret passage in the firewood room.

After a while, the white dragon dressed in white hurriedly arrived, and immediately saw the two teenagers who were tied up, and frowned, "Xue Protector, what's going on?"

"These two boys seem to have discovered something and want to run away."

Xue Ruhai licked his lips and showed a vicious smile:

"You say, did you kill them alive, or do you use this shriveled flesh and blood to make alchemy now?"
