Chapter 21: Youling is gone
Ye Cheng patted Youling's head, leaned over and whispered: "Brother Ye go do something, I'll be back in a while, you sit here and don't move, wait for me." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Youling looked very sleepy at this time, and nodded with her eyes slightly open. Ye Cheng then quietly left the table and followed the little minions of Hailongzhai who wanted to relieve themselves to the backyard.
In addition to the stables in the backyard, there is a thatched house, and the people eating in the front hall are chatting, which just seems to be quiet here. How could the little minion expect someone to be following, and just took off his pants, only to feel a cold sharp object against his waist.
"Don't move, or my sword will pierce you in the stomach. Ye Cheng deliberately pretended to be hoarse and said coldly.
It's funny, not to mention that this top is really diuretic, and the little minions even save the time for brewing, so they pee out directly. I saw him trembling and asking, "Good man...... The good man spares his life, but the little one is just a miscellaneous man, and he is penniless. ā
Ye Cheng continued to say in a hoarse voice: "Uncle, can't you see that you are a poor ghost? But Uncle has to kill someone every day, and if you don't kill someone, you will feel uncomfortable. ā
The little minions are fighting and can't speak. Ye Cheng saw that he was so scared, and he was amused in his heart, thinking that it turned out that these people in the gang were powerful and powerful on weekdays, but they were just dogs fighting people, foxes and fake tigers, and once they encountered hard stubble, they would be immediately exposed.
"Uncle has something I want to figure out now, if you can answer, I can let you go, if you can't fight......" Ye Cheng said sharply.
"Uncle has something to ask, the little one will know everything, and he can't help it...... "The little minion hasn't read any books, and now he is in a hurry, and he is even more nonsense, and he said the words he could remember before, and it was really not the horse's mouth.
Ye Chengqiang couldn't help laughing, and said, "Okay, then let me ask you, who will do tomorrow's meeting, and what do you want?"
The little minion felt that the sharp weapon on his waist had pierced into the flesh for half an inch, and suddenly sweated like rain, and replied in fear: "Tomorrow's meeting is called Chongxiao Society, which was invited by Ning Wang Zhu Quan, as for what to do, even our Liu Gang leader has not received the hero post, and we have no way of knowing as subordinates." ā
Ye Cheng continued to ask, "Do you have to have a hero post to enter the Chongxiao Society?"
"That'...... That's natural, hero, don't you know, this hero post is just a piece of paper, but a sect only gives one, and not all the heads of the sect can get it. The minion replied.
"Then who still has this hero post, talk about it quickly, otherwise you will die!" Ye Cheng said with a strong hand.
"Don't, don't! Hero, my grandfather, although not everyone has this hero post, but some people are not a few, and the little ones can't remember it all for a while. I just know that there must be a water ghost gate, because there are only two of us in the big gang on the sea, so I still know a little about their small ones. "The little minion felt like his legs and stomach were starting to turn tendons.
"Who is the head of the Water Ghost Sect, where is it now?" Ye Cheng took the opportunity to ask.
"Their head is called Zhuge Qing, and when the little one came to the Luodeng Inn to eat with the lord of Liuzhai, he knew that he was drinking tea in Chunhua Building, and it is unknown whether he is leaving now. The Chunhua Building is not too far from here, go out and go straight to the west for three streets, and you can see it at the three-way intersection five hundred meters to the south. "Little minion Nuo said.
After saying this, the little minion didn't dare to breathe and waited for a while, but found that there was no movement behind him, and couldn't help but feel his heart pounding, and after a while, he had the courage to whisper: "Hero, hero?" Seeing that no one answered, he had to turn around, but he saw that the back was empty, how could there be any hero. At this time, there was a sudden "pop", and an object fell to the ground, and the little minion looked down and saw that it was a branch with a sharpened head.
The little minion hurriedly put on his pants and made sure that there was no one in the backyard, so he began to curse, but there was no sound except for the occasional snort of a few horses in the stable, as if they were laughing at him.
Ye Cheng came to the front hall, and he had already calculated in his heart, arranged Youling in a safe place first, and then went to Chunhua Building to wait for the opportunity to steal the hero's post.
The front hall was still lively at this time, and the diners didn't realize it, but when Ye Cheng was about to return to his seat, he couldn't help but let out a cold sweat.
The seats are empty, and there are no traces of Youling!
"Oops!" Ye Cheng suddenly had a pimple on his body, as if he was in a cold sweat, and his heart was rolling, and he regretted not falling.
"It's all my fault for being careless, this Yixing City is now mixed with dragons and snakes, I actually put a little girl alone in this inn, how can I not let the villains keep an eye on me? This must be a scheming person who sees that I am not kidnapping Youling, how should this be good!" Ye Cheng became more and more anxious the more he thought about it.
Ye Cheng desperately wanted to calm down first, but when he thought that if a seven or eight-year-old child was kidnapped by bad people, the consequences would be unimaginable, how could he calm down. But at this moment, he suddenly found that there seemed to be something under the corner of the table, so he quickly lifted the table and took it out, and found that it was a note.
"If you want to find children, but look for purple clay pots. Ye Cheng unfolded the note and saw these ten words written on it.
Although Ye Cheng was still annoyed in his heart, he saw that the person who kidnapped Youling left a note, and knew that he must have wanted to use it as a blackmailer, but if that person asked for something, Youling's life would be at least temporarily unhindered. Thinking of this, my heart was a little relieved.
"Purple clay pot...... Zisha pot, what does the person who kidnapped Youling have to do with the purple sand pot? It is said that the Yixing purple sand pot is the most famous, but where to find it?" Ye Cheng meditated.
At this time, the little minion from the Sea Dragon Village also returned to the hall, and saw a few people from the Sea Dragon Village next to the owner of the Liu Village teasing: "Where did you go to water the flowers, it takes so long to pee, isn't it useless, haha!"
The minion straightened his neck, raised his thumb and said: "You know a fart, Lao Tzu just met an idea in the back, and he wanted to give Lao Tzu a few strokes, so that Lao Tzu cleaned up, and immediately knocked on the scoop." ā
Most of the minions didn't believe it, and they couldn't help but laugh for a while. Ye Cheng didn't have time to take care of others now, so he decided to go to Chunhua Building first, saying that he couldn't hear any news, and secretly thought in his heart that since he wanted to take care of Youling and let her change her ways, he must not let her fall into danger.
The place where Yixing merchants come and go, it is naturally the pearl of the city, and the household is prosperous, but when it comes to the famous at home, it is still the purple clay pot the most. Although the flourishing period of the purple clay pot will not be until the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the late Hongwu period has begun to emerge, and the Jianwen period is becoming more and more mature. The Chunhua Building that Ye Cheng was looking for was the leading purple clay pot shop in Yixing at that time, but Ye Cheng didn't know it at the time.
According to the little minion of Nahai Dragon Village, Ye Cheng walked the streets and alleys, and finally found this Chunhua Building. I saw that although this Chunhua Building was not built on the main street, its structure is unique and ingenious. The gate flag is displayed, and there are three eye-catching red characters on the book, "Chunhua Building". On the jujube red pillars on both sides of the door, the words "Xiaoshi Cold Spring Leaves Early Taste, Purple Clay New Product Pan Chunhua" are written, and it seems that the name of this "Chunhua Building" is taken from this poem.
Ye Cheng first observed the surrounding environment, only thought that he was a tourist who came to Yixing to play, and stepped into the hall. But above the hall, there are antiques displayed everywhere, all of which are exquisite and exquisite. There is a plaque hanging on the sandalwood shelf, which reads, "How to take the jewelry in the world, Yixing purple sand is the best", and the inscription is Zhou Fengyang. Ye Cheng didn't know this person, and thought to himself that it was probably a celebrity or a gentry here.
The person who left the note wrote, "If you want to find children, but look for purple clay pots", this happened to be a place where purple clay pots were sold, Ye Cheng paced while scanning the people around him with his spare eyes, wanting to find some clues.
Although there are not many people in this store, at a glance, he can see that they are either rich or expensive, they are not ordinary people, but there are no people dressed in rivers and lakes, Ye Cheng couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Could it be that little minion deceived me?" Or has Zhuge Qing already left this store?"
Thinking of this, I saw that a middle-aged man dressed as a bookkeeper was there to greet guests, so Ye Cheng stepped forward and said, "This gentleman, dare to ask where the shopkeeper in our store is now?"
The bookkeeper glanced at Ye Cheng, he had never seen this young man, he guessed that he was a guest from out of town, and he was very young and did not look like a rich man, so he replied expressionlessly: "The shopkeeper is not here, it doesn't hurt to tell me anything." ā
Ye Cheng was so smart, he immediately saw that this bookkeeper was also a person who flattered the rich and hated the poor, and his heart was really a big bully in the store, which was not false at all.
"This gentleman, I want to talk about some big business with the shopkeeper, and I hope to make a good noise. Ye Cheng still smiled respectfully.
"Talking about business? It's not that I, Li Youcai, look down on Your Excellency, how much business can you talk about? Your Excellency may not know the name of this Chunhua Building, and any purple sand antique here is extremely valuable. Young people, there are still some places that sell cheap goods in Yixing City, so you might as well go elsewhere. The bookkeeper said in a strange manner.
Ye Cheng had the leisure to entangle with him here, seeing that it didn't make sense, he thought in his heart: "This guy is really hateful, but it's still early, and it's a busy city here......
Thinking of this, Ye Cheng suddenly had an idea, only to see him take out a gold ingot from his arms, and said upside down in his hand: "Mr. Li is a clear-eyed person at a glance, Xiaosheng does want to buy some things, but he doesn't want to be greedy, he came here to take a fancy to our purple sand treasures, and he just wants to be able to talk to the shopkeeper, I wonder if Mr. Li can make it convenient?"
Looking at the yellow and clear gold jumping in front of him, the bookkeeper Li Youcai's eyes were straight, and he stared at the gold and said casually: "Good, good, should, should!"
Ye Cheng was disgusted in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he held Li Youcai's arm with one hand, and put the gold in Li Youcai's hand with the other.
Li Youcai took the gold, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and said: "This son, my shopkeeper Song is meeting distinguished guests in the backyard guest room, you wait for a while, and when the matter over there is over, I will immediately take you in to meet him." Don't take it to heart what happened just now, in fact, I, Li Youcai, have been in business for many years, and I have long seen that you are not an extraordinary husband, and the words of the right people are just to force out the real dragon, you see, aren't you revealing this? Hahaha. ā
A guest next to him had been looking at a purple clay pot for a long time, and just wanted to ask Li Youcai about the price, but Li Youcai pushed it away and said, "Wait a while, don't you see any distinguished guests here?"
Ye Cheng smiled secretly in his heart and sat down, but how did Li Youcai know that the ingot of gold that Ye Cheng took out was already all his savings.
