Chapter 18: Darkness Chencang
Early the next morning.
Last night, he completely cut off the feelings in his heart, and Ye Yu got up a little disappointed and prepared to go to the Spirit Department to take duty.
He listlessly pushed open the door and saw Xu Xiaoya waiting outside the door with a washbasin.
"You ......"
Seeing him go out, Xu Xiaoya said with a hippie smile: "Son, wash up quickly, otherwise you will be late for the upper duty." β
With a speechless expression, he said with a cold face: "Xiaoya, call me second brother!" I'll do it myself after that. β
Xu Xiaoya, who was not in the same channel at all, urged: "Don't delay, breakfast is ready, slave... I'll bring it to you. β
Putting the basin into the house, she hurried out of the house and ran towards the kitchen.
Scold! Still so fond of running.
At this time, Ye Yu revealed a trace of joy in his heart, but there was still frost on his face.
A moment later, Xu Xiaoya cautiously walked in with porridge.
"Childe! Serve hot. β
He didn't reply, but took the food box a little helplessly.
Seeing that he took the food box, Xu Xiaoya smiled sweetly at him and left the hut happily.
Witnessing her leaving, Ye Yu had a headache, could it be that he was lonely last night? Why is this little girl still like this?
"Young Master! The carriage was ready. β
At this time, Zhang San said respectfully outside the door.
"Don't take the carriage anymore, you let the coachman rest!"
"Yes!"
"Come back!"
Drinking the slightly bitter salty porridge, Ye Yu remembered the plan outlined in his mind. Stopped Zhang San and ordered: "Go to the market and buy a cart of coarse salt and come back." β
After speaking, he threw a silver spirit dollar to Zhang San.
At the current price of ten pounds of salt, one silver spirit dollar is enough to buy one hundred pounds of coarse salt.
Zhang San, who was full of question marks on his face, took Lingyuan and was stunned, he didn't know why Ye Yu wanted so much coarse salt.
Seeing through this kid's thoughts, Ye Yu said with a smile: "You don't understand it, hurry up and buy the coarse salt back, and you'll know when the brother comes back." β
Nodding ignorantly, Zhang San turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate.
Hearing him muttering in a low voice before going out, Ye Yu smiled and didn't care, after the white salt was refined, he would know what it meant to turn stone into gold.

Spiritual Department West Division.
Stepping on the point and rushing to the Si Yamen, Ye Yu walked directly to the heavenly prison.
Today, he plans to pry open Bing Thirteen's mouth, so that he can confirm Xiao Gui's incriminating evidence as soon as possible.
This is not the afterlife, but there is no such thing as judicial detention.
In this era of the privileged class, if the case drags on for a long time, all kinds of things may arise.
"Captain of the Guard!"
Jiang Wu, who had been in the prison all night, saw Ye Yu coming, and hurriedly got up and respectfully clasped his fists and saluted.
"How? Is there a breakthrough? β
"Also... Not yet! This guy is too strict-mouthed, and he hasn't let go of all kinds of punishments. Jiang Wu replied with some shame.
Ye Yu was not surprised by this result, the punishment of the ruthless man who licked the knife was not enough to make him speak.
He waved his hand and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter! Take him to wash up and serve him good wine and food. β
Although he didn't understand Ye Yu's purpose, the strict subordination made him carry it out without any hesitation.
Ye Yu raised his hand and pressed it weakly, signaling that the other four auxiliary guards did not have to get up.
He sat down in the presiding seat and tapped the table rhythmically, staring thoughtfully into the prison cell.
After sitting for a quarter of an hour, five old soldiers came in from outside the prison.
When the leading old man saw Ye Yu, he hurriedly beckoned the other four to kneel on the ground.
"Subordinate Yu Deshui."
"Huang Li!"
β¦β¦
"Meet the Guard!"
Hearing the movement, Ye Yu came back to his senses and said with joy: "Haha! Uncle Yu, it's good that you're here, Brother Xu didn't embarrass you, right? β
"How can it? When the general flag heard that you transferred us to the Spiritual Department, he didn't say a word, and happily signed the order. Huang Li grinned after getting up.
He had reason to be excited, he had inquired clearly as early as when he accompanied Ye Yu to hunt down the murderer, and knew that Ye Yu still had five auxiliary guards in his hands.
Auxiliary guard is a coveted position for a soldier, and it is not only a high rank, but also has many privileges.
The most intuitive thing is to have two people who are exempt from servitude in the house, do not need to pay field grain, and if you have money, you can also hire slaves and maids at home.
Jane directly entered the squire class directly from a commoner, and her social status was almost equal to that of the Xiucai among the scholars.
"I originally wanted to invite Brother Xu to come, but he didn't worry about his brothers, so he refused to come to me." Ye Yu nodded and said with some regret.
Uncle Yu habitually wanted to take out his cigarette stick, but realized that this was not a border barracks, so he immediately stopped his movements.
He withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "Xu Xiaozi's cultivation is not small, he has gained some merit a few days ago, and it is estimated that he will be able to rise to 100 households soon." β
The border army hundred households are a military attache from the ninth grade, although it cannot be compared with the hundred households of the six products of Jinyi Weizheng, but it can be regarded as a big soldier to an officer.
"That's a good feeling! Uncle Yu, you will be the captain of your army. Ye Yu said with a smile.
Yu Deshui was stunned when he heard this, and his heart was a little agitated, the auxiliary guard commander was a high-ranking martial artist.
He didn't expect to come here and mix up from the seventh grade, which was several levels higher than Xu Zhongjie.
Of course, he also knew that this position was originally reserved for Xu Zhongjie, but he got it by accident.
"Woo...... Captain of the Guard! Rest assured, we will die in the future. Pressing the excitement in his heart, Yu Deshui said solemnly.
Looking at the five old soldiers, Ye Yu nodded, beckoned Jiang Wu and said, "This is Jiang Wu, the first captain, Uncle Yu, you two will lead the team well in the future." β
The two newly promoted auxiliary guard captains glanced at each other, and they all showed their fighting spirit, they knew very well that with Ye Yu's ability, his future achievements would definitely be more than the present.
Therefore, both have the intention to occupy an important position in this team, and naturally the competition between the two teams starts invisibly.
In the two lives, Ye Yu had no experience in leading, and now his team Jianqi naturally couldn't perceive the atmosphere between the two groups.
He saw that the two of them were running into each other amicably, and he was immediately relieved.
"Done! You're busy, I'll go to the division to order Mao first, and I'll meet that Bing Thirteen for a while in the evening. β
After saying that, he left two teams and ten auxiliary guards to continue the run-in, and he raised his feet and walked towards the public house of the first team of the West Division.
Entering the public room, he found the previous table and sat down.
Soon after he sat down, he felt a little cold in his back, and he looked back suspiciously, and saw Luo Qiang, who was sitting not far away, staring at him with resentment in his eyes.
Hehe, naΓ―ve! Didn't you accidentally sit in the wrong place for him, as if you had robbed him of a woman, is it necessary to act like a resentful woman?
Ye Yu intended to ease this inexplicable Liangzi, so he got up and wanted to go over and bow his head.
Just as he moved, Jiang Wu walked in from outside the public house.
He walked quickly to Ye Yu and said very hurriedly, "Wei Chang! Xiao Gui's case... It's over. β
"C13 opened his mouth and leaked?"
"No... No. β
"Huh?"
Seeing Ye Yu frowning, Jiang Wu hurriedly explained: "Xiao Gui has confessed. β
"Huh! That's not a good thing, and it saves us a lot of trouble. β
"But ......"
"Can you speak without panting? What about jokes? There are bedding and mating. β
Jiang Wu exhaled and said in one go: "Not long ago, Xiao Gui happily confessed his guilt and surrendered to the law, and just now the division received an official document from the dead soldiers' battalion. β
Ye Yu's eyes protruded slightly when he heard this, and he asked in disbelief: "You mean that the Dead Warrior Battalion took away Xiao Gui?" β
Nodding his head slightly, Jiang Wu replied helplessly: "Yes!" Xiao Gui was characterized as a death row prisoner to the death camp, which was in line with the laws of the Ming Dynasty. β
"I can live a few days in the Spiritual Department and wait for the verdict, and if I go to the Death Camp, isn't it certain that I will die?" Ye Yu was a little puzzled by the Xiao family's purpose.
"Captain Wei, you may not know the inside story. The Xiao family is also powerful in the Dead Soldier Camp, and Xiao Gui may not necessarily die if he enters it. Jiang Wu gritted his teeth, with a sense of letting go.
"Grass! What a dark Chen Cang! β
