Besides, Ren Xiao and Feng Shang, thanks to Wutong who led Geng Di away, Ren Xiao and they were able to get out, and the two didn't dare to stay in Pei's Mansion for a moment, so they hurriedly jumped out of the wall and walked away.

"Where are we going now?" Feng Shang knew that he didn't have Ren Xiaoduo in mind, so he asked. Ren Xiao said: "I originally thought that we could let the county commander of Ziyang City assist us in exterminating Sun Tiansheng, but now it seems that we not only have no helper, but also have one more enemy. Now we have to start with the school, find out the person behind the school, and see if he can help us. ”

"But didn't you receive the letter in the morning?"

"He told us not to meddle in the letter because he was afraid that we would be implicated, but we were in charge of the matter. The lord of the country has worked hard for this country, but he didn't expect that there would be such a black sheep underground, and we must help him get rid of it. ”

Soon, the two returned to the school, and it was the time for the children to have afternoon classes, so Ren Xiao and the others could only tiptoe to the back of the school. Du Wenyuan, who was lying in the courtyard and sleeping, noticed the two of them, got up and stretched, and said, "Is the investigation clear? Pei Yuxiang is not a good thing, right?"

"We went to his house, and according to the calculation of the ordinary county order, it is obviously impossible for him to build such a large mansion, although his behavior is also a little strange, but we have not found any evidence that he has done bad things. Ren Xiao was a little frustrated.

Du Wenyuan looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, "If you want to find his handle, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, this old fox has been in the chaos of officialdom for so many years, how can you easily find loopholes! I advise you to visit ordinary people and see what they think of Pei Yuxiang." ”

Ren Xiao sat beside Du Wenyuan, "Please also ask Brother Du for advice!"

"On the surface, the people of Ziyang City live and work in peace and contentment, but the prices here are dozens of times higher than those in other places. Even the most common rice flour has to be purchased at a huge cost, and many people work day and night to barely fill their stomachs. ”

"What about the people's own crops?" Feng Shang asked.

"The crops were originally outside the city, and after the robbers plundered them several times, the government took away all the people's land for protection, and only allowed them to retain the right to cultivate, and finally all the crops were handed over and distributed by the government to the cultivators. But the food that can really reach the hands of the common people is not worth mentioning at all. There are also those pharmacies that are sky-high drugs, and no one can treat the onset of the disease at all. Even the tavern is a place where only the rich can go. ”

Ren Xiao remembered that they had eaten at a "Taifu Tavern" when they first came to Ziyang, but he couldn't remember how much it spent. So he asked Feng Shang: "Feng San, did we spend a lot of money on dinner in the tavern that day?" Feng Shang smiled: "Have you forgotten? We didn't spend money at all!"

"What's going on?"

"Someone paid for us!"

Ren Xiao then remembered that he had met the three bounty hunters outside the Saiwai in the tavern that day, and he must have settled his account under the coercion and temptation of Feng Shang.

Du Wenyuan continued to explain to Ren Xiao, "There are also those drug trafficking, casinos, and brothels. All of it was handled by Pei Yuxiang, and all the money spent by the rich went to the county order, and the money of those rich people must have come from us ordinary people. Now more and more beggars and refugees have fled to Ziyang City, but look, are they a little better off than outside?"

Du Wenyuan's words came from the bottom of his heart, and his eyes were already red after speaking. Ren Xiao comforted him and said, "Brother Du, don't worry, we will definitely change the current situation in Ziyang City." He turned around and said to Feng Shang again: "Feng San, it seems that I have to bother you to make a trip!"

"Where to go?"

"Capital!"

Feng Shang, who left Ziyang City, rushed all the way to the southeast. Although he was very reluctant, Ren Xiao also made it very clear that it was impossible to go against the county order with their identity, let alone overthrow him, and only with the consent of the lord of the capital could he become famous.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Ren Xiao also helped the old woman in the school to take care of the children's lives when he had nothing to do, but fortunately, Ren Xiao had stayed in the Shanyang Hall before, and he was also handy in doing these things.

On this day, there was another group of fresh faces at the "Taifu Tavern". The leader was a fat man with a kitchen knife hanging from his waist. Behind him were two graceful women, followed by a seven-foot-tall monk with rags wrapped around his head, Buddhist beads wrapped around his left arm, and a bag behind him.

"Little Er, here are four bowls of fried noodles!" Zhou Quming shouted after sitting down. The indifferent shopkeeper walked to the table, yawned and said, "Four bowls of fried noodles for one or two silver!"

"What?" Zhou Quming stood up from the stool in fright and asked, "Hey, listen up, it's four bowls of fried noodles! ”

"That's right! It's four bowls of jajangmyeon. This is the price in our store, you can go out and inquire, the whole Ziyang City fried noodles are at this price, I think you are like poor, it is already cheaper than usual. Xiao Er said disdainfully while clasping his nostrils.

"You guys are driving up prices! Is there any royal law?" Yi Muke stood up and roared angrily. Xiao Er was taken aback, and immediately stabilized his mind and said, "Guest officer, it's not that I deliberately want to raise prices, it's just that this is the rule in our Ziyang City." ”

"Who set this rule? The old lady asked him to comment on the theory, it was simply blackmail!" Yi Muke seemed to be planning to not forgive. In the end, he calmly persuaded Yi Muke, "Yi girl, forget it! We are not here to quarrel, the most important thing is to find Ren Xiao as soon as possible after eating." ”

Yi Muke naturally had to give face to the air, so he had to hold back his anger for the time being, and said in a low voice: "When I'm done with things, I'll come back sooner or later to open his shop!"

Zhou Quming took out a tael of silver from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Er.

"I think Ren Xiao and they should also be in Ziyang City! After eating, we'll go and inquire. "Tian Yuqi is the weakest link in the team, although he also has some martial arts, but it is okay to deal with miscellaneous soldiers, and it is useless if he encounters a little more powerful character. At the very least, Yi Muke has superb medical skills and can provide good logistical support for his companions. Therefore, Tian Yuqi is the most inconspicuous in this group of people, although everyone does not despise her because of her weakness, but in Tian Yuqi's own heart, she still feels that she has dragged everyone back, and often shows a sense of inferiority.

While eating, two men with blue noses and swollen faces suddenly came in and broke in with a scolding and scolding. "Little Er, bring the best wine to the master! ”

"Okay, sir, wait a minute!"

"It's been eight lifetimes of mold today! I was beaten by a little ghost!" one of the men was visibly furious. The other one is a little better,

Persuaded: "I said don't complain, we're all lucky, two days ago I heard that there were two people who were almost killed on the spot." Lying on the ground is a blur of flesh and blood! It was the kid who beat people today. ”

"When did this person come to the casino? I haven't seen it before!"

"I heard that it was a newcomer, introduced by Master Pei, and it was called a ruthless, and there were obviously fewer people who went to gamble recently, and they were all afraid of this kid. ”

"It turned out to be Master Pei's subordinates, no wonder he dared to be so arrogant. But doesn't he want to do business in the casino? If he finds someone like this to watch the show, sooner or later the casino will be ruined. ”

"I heard from the guy in the casino, that kid has slowly become honest these days, and it's no wonder that the two of us are too conspicuous today, maybe we have won too much, so that kid can't stand it!"

"That's it, I've already made a lot of money anyway, and I'll go to gamble when I'm almost done! By the way, do you know what that kid's name is? Let's stay away from him in the future." ”

"It seems to be called Ye Lan! I don't know. ”

Hearing the two Chinese characters mention Ye Lan's name, Yi Muke and their spirits were shocked. Zhou Quming smiled: "God helped me, I found them just now!"

"But how can they watch the casino and beat people. Tian Yuqi was puzzled. Dangkong quickly finished eating the noodles and said, "It seems that they have already started to act, so let's not take the initiative to reveal our identities first." After speaking, he gave Zhou Quming a look. The latter understood.

Zhou Quming moved the kitchen knife behind his back, then walked to the side of the two men, and said with a smile: "The two eldest brothers, the younger brother of Shicai heard the two mention the casino, I don't know where they are?"

The two looked at Zhou Quming for a while, and said disdainfully: "What, you also want to play two?" Zhou Quming hugged one of the shoulders and said, "Don't hide it from the two eldest brothers, the younger brother only arrived in Ziyang today, do you know why I came to Ziyang?" The two shook their heads.

"I'm here to hide from debts, and I owe a lot of debts in Tianshui gambling, so I escaped!" As soon as the two heard that Zhou Quming was also a person on the road, they smiled and said: "It turned out to be a friend of Tianshui, fortunately, I will be lucky!"

Zhou Quming quickly inquired about the location of the casino with his infectious round face and clever mouth.

Outside the casino, several big men were standing or squatting at the door, smoking cigarettes in their mouths, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Zhou Quming looked back at them, sighed, and said, "You guys should wait for me outside! I'll go in and take a look." ”

"Why are you the only ones going in, I'm going to go in too!" Yi Muke was not to be outdone. Zhou Quming glanced at the big men at the door with his eyes, and whispered to her: "You have such fine skin and tender meat, you don't look like it's on the road, beware of those big men doing things to you!" Yi Muke followed Zhou Quming's gaze and saw those rough men, his body trembled, but he still compromised.

"I'll go in with you!" Although Dangkong knew that it was a little inappropriate for him to go in, he still thought it would be better for him to go in just in case. Zhou Quming shook his head and said, "Second brother, forget it, the people in Buddhism pay attention to the six purities, so you should not go to this kind of place." If there is a problem, I will yell at the first time, and you will come back to help me when the time comes. Besides, the two of them still need someone to protect them. As he spoke, he looked at the two girls who were helpless.
