Chapter 179: First Arrival in Qing Beijing

Several members of the Yuan family were already desperate, but they were suddenly rescued, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed. One of the two men who were a little stronger in martial arts asked the robbers about the situation, and the other was a young man who was close to thirty years old, and he was born tall and burly, so he came to thank him.

Chen Shu got out of the car and had a conversation with him. This man claimed to be Yuan Xing, and he was the second young master of the Yuan family in Beijing. Chen Shu didn't know what kind of famous the Yuan family in Beijing was, so he casually admired a few words. He gave himself the pseudonym Zheng Hua, and frankly admitted that he came to Beijing for recreation. Yuan Xing was rescued by him, grateful, and saw that Chen Shu was a talent, and his attitude was humble and close, so he gradually called him a brother. After hearing this, he hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "Brother Zheng, please rest assured, this is all wrapped up in the little brother, and I guarantee that you have a good time, brother." Talking full of jargon, what a quiet fragrance building, drunken moon building, hearing Chen Shu's scalp numb, only to feel the four eyes behind him poking around on his back, hurriedly coughed, and said: "The younger brother is just in love with the landscape, but he is not interested in the Fengyue place." "Damn, do you want to kill me?

Yuan Xing was surprised, but he only said that he was young and thin-skinned, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Shu had no interest in this Yuan family, but Yuan Xing hit him off at first sight and wanted to go together. Chen Shu was originally so beautiful in Xiangche, how could he be willing to be with such a person, but it was only a short distance to the capital, and he could get there tonight if he was a little faster, so he would follow him.

The closer I got to the capital, the more I saw that the damage on the road was very serious. Many displaced people gathered together, without food and clothing, but the Qing government did not take measures to deal with it. All the way, I only heard the crying and pleading of the road head, Chen Shu was silent, but Yuan Xing turned a blind eye to the tragic situation, talked loudly, and boasted to Chen Shu about the wealth and power of their Yuan family in the capital. Chen Shu was extremely impatient when he heard this, and suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Yuan, your family is so rich, I saved your life in time, how much silver taels is this worth?"

Yuan Xing's mouth opened wide. never expected him to say such words, and thought that he was going to blackmail Ensuo to repay him, so he suddenly felt disdain in his heart, and said lightly: "With the identity of Yuan." If he was really kidnapped by the bandits, he would have to ask for at least 10,000 taels of silver. If Brother Zheng needs it, he can make a price. ”

Chen Shu nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Tai and I originally met in Pingshui. I'm afraid that there won't be many opportunities to meet in the future. Since Brother Tai is a rich family, you can take out tens of thousands of taels of silver as my reward for saving you, and give alms to these victims. ”

Yuan Xing originally secretly scolded this person for ignorance in his heart, with his identity as the second son of Yuan, as long as he could tie up, he wanted nothing, but he was greedy for the immediate advantage. When he sneered in his heart, he didn't expect Chen Shu to say such a thing, and he was stunned.

Chen Shu arched his hand. said: "The younger brother is still a little urgent, I have to hurry up, and I can't accompany Brother Yuan." As he spoke, he ordered everyone to gallop quickly and throw Yuan Xing and the others away. He didn't believe that this Yuan Xing would really go to the relief of the victims, but felt that this person's boasting of his family's wealth was mostly nonsense. If you really have such an identity, how many people will you only take with you when you go out?

Along the way, more and more victims gathered, and when they arrived at the foot of the capital, the victims outside the city were actually black. Chen Shu couldn't help but be stunned, this earthquake was only much more serious than he expected.

And anyway. I finally arrived in the capital. At this time, Beijing's status was naturally far inferior to Chen Shu's big Beijing in the world, but it was also the former capital of the Ming Dynasty and was still a first-class big city in the north.

into the city. I saw that the city was very prosperous, and the streets were full of traffic and people. Wang Yuyan and Huang Rong were full of interest and got out of the car to go to the market to hang out. Chen Shu could only be a follower to accompany the two bosses, only to see rock sugar gourds and sugar-fried chestnuts. All kinds of snacks, Wang Yuyan ate all the way, her face was full of happiness. Chen Shu, as a single seller, looked at her joy from the bottom of his heart, but he also felt very warm.

At this time, it was getting dark, and after walking for a while, I found an inn to stay.

On the way, Chen Shu drew a secret note, contacted the brothers of the Red Flower Society, and pointed out his residence. This was agreed with Wei Chunhua before, and Zhao Liu also told him about the secret stronghold of the Heaven and Earth Society in the capital before.

He had expected that the Red Flower Society would come to him that night, but by the next day there had been no movement. He felt strange, but he thought maybe he hadn't noticed, so he went to draw a few more places. When I found the secret stronghold of the Heaven and Earth Society, I was surprised, this stronghold had been sealed, and several Qing soldiers were guarding the door with swords, watching the passers-by with shiny eyes.

Chen Shu suddenly felt bad, and by noon the people from the Red Flower Society had not appeared, which was also unreasonable. After all, all the brothers knew about his visit to the capital, and it was impossible not to pay attention to the exclusive secret mark. It seems that something must have happened at the two sessions.

When he wanted to find the beggar gang to divide the rudder, he found that no one from the beggar gang could be found, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked, what has happened in the capital in the past few days?

He came to the capital to live in a strange place, and he was expecting the brothers of the Red Flower Society to help find out the news of his family, but now he can't count on it, so he can only find it himself.

He discussed it with Huang Rong and decided to find out the situation in the capital first. A few people went out separately to inquire, but Wei Xiaobao was the most clever and found the most clues. Even the prisoners who were escorted from Jin Guo were held clearly. His ability is indeed innate, and Chen Shu is also sighing to himself.

When eating in the lobby of the inn that night, the six immortals of Peach Valley complained repeatedly, saying that it was too far worse than Huang Rong's craftsmanship. Wang Yuyan also thought the same, but she saw that Chen Shu and Huang Rong were both thinking about the problem with calm faces, so she didn't say a word knowingly.

At this moment, Chen Shu suddenly heard the people at the table next to him talking about it, and when he listened carefully, they were saying that there was an extremely deep hole in the eastern suburbs of the capital, which was as dark as if it had no bottom, and he often heard the sound of crying from below in the middle of the night.

A few people said it vividly and terrifyingly, but one person on the side laughed and said: "I am afraid that the words of several people are also rumors, how can there be such a hole in the sky." ”

One of those people said, "If you don't believe it, just see for yourself." This cave appeared during the earthquake, and many people heard the crying from below. It's just that the entrance of the cave has been surrounded by officers and soldiers for the past few days, and everyone thinks about it, if there is nothing special about it, why would the officers and soldiers surround it and not allow others to see it?"

Many people in the lobby nodded yes, obviously knowing what the officers and soldiers were doing in the eastern suburbs. Chen Shu and Huang Rong glanced at each other, and they were both very surprised. Chen Shu thought that it was not uncommon for an earthquake to shake a hole, and it was probably someone else's rumor that there was often crying in the middle of the night.

This matter has nothing to do with them, and the biggest question at the moment is, where did the Heaven and Earth Society Red Flower Society and the Golden Snake Alliance Beggars Gang go? Why did they suddenly disappear and not a single person could be found? This question could not be found out, and it was really a headache. Could it be that many of these anti-hutong roads have had accidents and have been harmed by the Qing people? )
