Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Rivers and Lakes Shake
"Sister Ling, you don't know, my sister-in-law is a well-known cold judge, the prisoners we couldn't try before were all tried by her, no matter who it is, as long as it passes through his hands, anything can be said, we beat him a few times It's quite light, and when it comes to my sister-in-law's hands, it's not just as simple as being beaten" Long Lan said softly.
Although Ouyang Ling is very familiar with some people in the Blood Shadow Guard, because she was found by Yang Luochen, and she grew up with Yang Luochen and Long Yu since childhood, Ouyang Ling doesn't know anything about their personalities and what they are good at.
Compared with others, Ouyang Ling was more familiar with the things that Yang Luochen brought with her in the early days, such as Yan Xintong, Ouyang Ling was very familiar with her, and she knew Yan Xintong's skills.
Everyone took Steward Wu and returned to the ghost market, after some clearance and rectification, the ghost market at this time was no longer so prosperous, those guests left one after another after the war, and all the guards were locked up in the dungeon of the ghost market.
Everyone found a room to rest and stayed comfortably for one night, and the next day, Yan Xintong took the money left by Wu and dismissed the maids.
Yang Yan got up early in the morning, and if he had nothing to do, he helped dismiss those people together, and as for Poria Cocos, he was still resting. Long Yu has been taking care of Huo Linglang, and Poria has given him a little medicine, and it is no big deal, and he will be fine when he wakes up.
There are still a lot of women and children left in the ghost market, some of their parents and families have been laid off, and the rest are really homeless, Yan Xintong found three maids to stay and take care of them, and Xiaohong is also among them.
Looking at the dozen women and children in front of her, Yan Xintong was a little ruthless in her heart, but she was also very helpless, this kind of thing has always existed, and she can only meet and manage it, it is impossible to put an end to this kind of thing, and she doesn't have such a big ability.
"What are your plans for the future?" Yan Xintong asked, looking at them.
These people looked at each other and shook their heads, Yan Xintong sighed lightly, it was impossible for her to run around with these people.
"Sister, are you leaving?" asked the little beggars in the abandoned compound with Yan Xintong in their eyes, and only the little girl named Ting remained silent and did not speak.
Yan Xintong looked at the sincere eyes of these children, and felt very unbearable in her heart, but there was really nothing to do, at this time Di Yuan came to Yan Xintong's side and said: "I went to inquire, the original owner of that compound has long been missing."
"I went to the government and spent money to get the title deed, and now it is ours. Also, Wang Kang fled with his family last night, and those who had something to do with the ghost market also disappeared in Kang Tong City, and it is estimated that he was frightened by Xiaoyi last night."
Yan Xintong was a little surprised, she thought that it might be a little troublesome to enter Kang Tong City again, but she didn't expect that overnight, Kang Tong had changed a lot.
"If you are homeless, then I have a good place, and if you want to stay, and we take care of each other, and if we treat each other like family, then come with me. If you don't want to, take the money and make a living for yourself."
Yan Xintong said and opened a box, which was full of silver, which meant to take it casually.
The men looked at each other, and several women got up, and each took a few hundred taels of silver, and all left, leaving eight children, all about ten years old, both boys and girls.
Yan Xintong also knows the hearts of those women, they are homeless, and they also want to find a place to live, but they are unwilling to let them take care of these children, it is better to take some money and go out to find a good family to marry.
"What about you?" asked the three maids who had stayed behind.
The three maids looked at it, and Xiaohong said: "We discussed it last night, we are willing to take care of these children, we don't want them to go through our affairs again"
Yan Xintong nodded, and then said to those children with a smile: "Children, this is Sister Xiaohong, Sister Xiaofang and Sister Xiaolin, they will take care of you in the future, let's go, take you home, you don't have to starve in the future."
"Do you have steamed buns to eat?"
"Is there a queen bed?"
"Don't you have to work?"
"Can we play the game?"
“......”
A group of children asked nonsense, and Yan Xintong kept answering until "Yes, yes, yes, it will get better in the future"
The Blood Shadow Guard group collected the money in the ghost market, which was a million taels of silver, which was a small amount, plus those rare treasures, the value was probably around five million taels.
As soon as the liquidation came out, Yan Xintong and Ouyang Ling were a little surprised, they didn't expect that such a small Kangtong ghost market would collect so much money, it is conceivable how rich the big people behind this ghost market are.
It took a long time for the Blood Shadow Guard to move the money to the abandoned compound, and they packed up a room and piled it up, almost filling the entire room.
Poria slept until the things were moved, followed them to the abandoned compound, looking at the mountains of gold and silver treasures, curious, rummaging left and right.
Yan Xintong thought that Poria had taken a fancy to something and wanted to turn it out, but when she asked later, she found out that Poria didn't want anything, but was just curious to take a look, because she hadn't seen many things.
After that, the group lived in Youkang for two days, and found someone to clean up the compound, and the plaque at the door was also changed and replaced with "Yanyuan", which means Yang Yan's compound, which is also the meaning of Yan Xintong.
The group of Blood Shadow Guard was busy cleaning up the compound, but there was a shock on the rivers and lakes, and the mysterious ghost market was served overnight in Kangtong's stronghold, and the entire family related to Kangtong and the ghost market disappeared in Kangtong overnight.
The major restaurants and teahouses in Yunguo have been talking about this matter in the past few days, but there are different theories, and the only thing that can be determined is that Kangtong's ghost market has indeed been served.
Inside a very ordinary teahouse in Yunguo.
"Did you hear about it? Kang Tong's ghost market has been served by a group of people."
"I've heard about it, I've heard that those people are ruthless and have directly killed all the treasures that the people in the ghost market have robbed"
"No, no, those people went to steal it, and later found evidence of collusion between the ghost market and the government and forces of Kang Tong City in those treasures, and Kang Tong's forces absconded in fear of crime."
"Wrong, wrong, those people didn't kill people, but took over the ghost market and continued to operate"
"You guys are all nonsense, obviously you have destroyed the full door of Kangtong's forces"
"You just talk nonsense, who has the ability to destroy the entire Kangtong force overnight"
"Someone saw the poison boy that night"
"You mean that the Yang Family's Blood Shadow Guard did it? This may have wiped out the entire Kangtong force overnight."
"Whoever said it was destroyed, it was absconding, absconding, don't count these bad things on the Yang family"
“......”
was originally just a discussion, but suddenly it turned into a quarrel, and the scene was so lively.
Yunguo Yunjing, in a luxurious compound, a person's roar came from the living room, "Rubbish, it's all rubbish, get out of me"
A group of people escaped from inside, all of them with very good faces, and they could only whisper, and they left quickly.
Biquan Villa, Ouyang Quan took the note in his hand, his face was a little weird, Ye Ming snatched it, looked at it, and said: "Blood Shadow Guard, these people can really cause trouble, is this manager of Kangtong Ghost City a straw bag, it is so easy to be served in a pot"
Ouyang Quan gave him a blank look, and said slowly: "Didn't your father tell you, don't mess with the people of the Yang family?"
"This is to say, Old General Yang is a well-known calf protector, you said that Yang Luochen is also forgotten, and the people of the Blood Shadow Guard are also like their own children."
"Idiot, no wonder I don't have friends" Ouyang Quan put down a sentence and walked away, leaving Ye Ming with a confused face.
"Hmph, call me an idiot, you're no better, you're not without friends"
Yunjing, Qi Yangping looked at the note in his hand, he seemed to be smiling, his face was very weird, and the person next to him said: "Pavilion Master, the matter is true, it was indeed they who did it"
"I know, the message they sent has been detailed, but this thing they asked me to do......" Qi Yangping said, and glanced at the note again, "This thing is really thankless"
Then, Qi Yangping thought seriously for a while and ordered: "Let Miao Yue and Miao Xing come over and give them a task, and they should give their two sisters a vacation." Oh, by the way, send a copy of the message to the old man, so that he will not be upset"
"Pavilion master, it's been sent early, since the last time the young master's matter was hidden from him for a while, he was specially entertained by the old man once, and now the following is actively sending a message over there"
"Well, that's good, call their sisters over."
In the Yunjing Palace, a man in his fifties, wearing a dragon robe, was reviewing the recital, and an elderly eunuch next to him was standing in an orderly manner, adding tea and water from time to time, very careful.
Suddenly, a little eunuch looked at the door, and the old eunuch wanted to go out, but the emperor didn't raise his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
The old eunuch hurriedly bent down and whispered: "Your Majesty, there is recent news from the rivers and lakes below."
The emperor waved his hand, and the old eunuch retreated, and quickly took a delicate little book, held it in a proper manner, and stood there.
The emperor reviewed it for a while, and then said, "Let's hear it."
The old eunuch dared to open the small notebook, and then sorted out the meaning on it, and said: "Your Majesty, the King of Yingchuan and the fourth princess are already on the way back, and there are blood shadow guards protecting them along the way. ”
"Also, Kang Tongcheng is too guarded by Wang Kang, and there is collusion with the ghost market of the Jianghu forces, and he has absconded in fear of crime, and the current Jianghu forces of Kang Tong have left Kang Tong, and it is said that it is related to the destruction of the ghost market, and this ghost city is served by the Blood Shadow Guard."
The emperor suddenly raised his head and asked, "What kind of force is this ghost city, which can actually collude with Taishou?"
"Back to Your Majesty, this ghost market is a force that has only appeared in the past few years, extremely secretive, I heard that it is mainly based on a large amount of wealth, and the ghost market can earn millions of taels overnight"
"Do you know who's behind it?"
"The old slave doesn't know"
The emperor slowly stood up, moved his muscles, and the eunuchs around him followed closely and came to the outside of the study, and the emperor said: "You don't know if you are careful, if you can hook up with the forces of Taishou, there must be a big official behind you, otherwise he won't dare to borrow Wang Kang's hundred guts."
"Your Majesty is Wise"
"Pass the decree and let the Criminal Department thoroughly investigate this matter, I want to see who is behind the scenes, and let them arrest Wang Kang, I really want to take a good look at this Wang Kang"
"Yes, the old slave will go to the draft"
"Wait, send a secret message to the princess, if the Blood Shadow Guard finds out something, she doesn't have to play, just send me a secret letter"
"Yes"
The old eunuch hurriedly went down to do these things, but the emperor looked at the sky and said to himself: "Yang Luochen, your movement when you come back this time is really not small. The plague has wiped you out, and now a stronghold in the ghost market has also been given to you. It seems that I should put it in order, otherwise these unfilial sons will be ruined below."
The Emperor said, returning to his study, and proceeded to review the pieces.
In the far north, when Young Master Kun Yao heard Yuanfeng's report, there was no joy or sadness on his face, he just said leisurely: "It's good that he found the Blood Shadow Guard, but I didn't expect him to escape from the hands of the Ghost Moon Hall."
"Your Highness, this matter is very strange, I haven't heard of the person who survived from the Ghost Moon Hall, and it must have been done by pretending to be someone from the Ghost Moon Hall."
"Hmm, there's any news for that stinky boy?"
"No, the kid of the emperor family has arrived in the cloud country, and there should be news soon. Your Highness, I'm afraid we won't be able to hide for long here, Your Majesty's condition is getting worse and worse, I'm afraid it's ......"
"I know, but we can't jump out of the name now, if it weren't for that stinky boy, I wouldn't mix, it's better to find a place to open a villa like Ouyang Tianyou, and live a quiet life"
"I heard that the girl next to Yang Yan is a miracle doctor, why don't you ask her to come over and show your majesty secretly?"
"Will she come?"
"If His Royal Highness goes down, Yang Yan will definitely agree to come over"
"Alas, I don't know if he remembers it now, whether it's Yang Yan or Yang Luochen, the king of Yingchuan, if he remembers, as the king of Yingchuan in the Yun Kingdom, he categorically refuses to come to Gale, Ouyang Jin will not let him go"
"Your Highness lends you a token, I'll let the kid of the emperor's family go to meet him first, it's always right to try"
Young Master Kun Yao nodded, took off the jade pendant on his waist, handed it to Yuan Feng and said, "If he doesn't come, don't force it, after all, our identities are already doomed."
Yuanfeng nodded and walked out of the bamboo house, leaving the young master Kun Yao alone.
In Yunguo, in a post station in the north, a handsome young man, dressed in purple brocade clothes, with a pinch of purple in his black hair that was particularly conspicuous, was listening to the merchants around him talking about the affairs of the ghost market in Kangtong.
"Yang Luochen, Blood Shadow Guard, interesting"
The young man drank his tea and muttered a few words, then threw down a little bit of silver, disappeared into the inn, and hurried south.
On the other side, in a restaurant in Fancheng, a teenager ordered a table of dishes, but he didn't eat much, and listened attentively to the discussions of the people around him, which seemed to be more delicious than a table of delicacies.
This young man is handsome and quiet, dressed in the linen cloth of ordinary people, and his eyes are shining, at first glance, he is somewhat similar to the young master Kun Yao.
"Several, you said that Kang Tong's matter was done by the Yang family's Blood Shadow Guardian Poison Boy?" the young man asked loudly as he listened.
"Where did the boy come from, we didn't say it, it's all rumors, who saw it"
"Yes, yes, yes, the rumors in the rivers and lakes, true or false, who knows if someone is pretending to be it"
"You better hurry home, don't ask about these things, the rivers and lakes are very dangerous"
The young man didn't seem to hear it, he thought about it, and said to himself: "King Yingchuan, I heard that you have come back, and you have cured tens of thousands of people in Fancheng, I came to Fancheng and you said that you went to southern Xinjiang, and I was about to go to southern Xinjiang, and said that you went to Kangtong."
Thinking of this, the young man called the shopkeeper and asked, "If you go to Yunjing from southern Xinjiang, what cities do you have to pass through?"
"The first stop is, of course, Kangtongcheng, and then we have to pass through Yangquan, Huaning, Yudu, Hanshan, and finally Yunjing."
After hearing this, the young man threw down a piece of silver, disappeared into the inn, and went west, leaving behind a confused shopkeeper and a table of untouched delicacies.
