It was daylight, Mingwei got up, got dressed, and opened the door.
People, it is really easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After asking Duofu to follow me for several months, she was not used to fetching water to wash herself.
I hope Duofu will come back soon...
After breakfast, I was stopped as soon as I left the alley.
A familiar carriage was parked on the street corner.
Mingwei was not polite and jumped directly onto the carriage.
Yang Shu lazily leaned on the other side, raising the curtains to look at the scenery outside. When he saw her coming up, he said hello: "Let's go watch the show."
"Watching a show, what show?"
Yang Shu smiled and said: "What a show."
The carriage started and stopped after a long time.
This is a narrow alley where people from all walks of life live, most of whom are foreigners who have just arrived in the capital.
As soon as their carriage arrived, many people gathered to watch.
Mingwei rolled his eyes: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Yang Shu smiled mysteriously: "You will know later."
After waiting for a while, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside, and a group of officials strode forward, passed in front of the carriage, and entered the alley.
"The Yamen is handling the case!" the leading official shouted loudly, and then kicked open the door of a certain house.
Not long after, shouts and cries were heard in the alley, as well as the sounds of fighting.
The officers escorted people out one after another. Most of them were men, and a few were women.
Mingwei looked at these men thoughtfully: "The stronghold of the Beggar Clan?"
Yang Shu nodded happily: "The Imperial City Division has found several strongholds. I have handed them over to Mr. Jiang and asked him to send people to arrest them."
Mingwei figured it out quickly: "Are you trying to scare someone away?"
"Yes!" It was really easy to talk to her. She knew what he was going to do from the very beginning. "We have to pull out their strongholds one by one and force them to retreat. Under the urgency, there will inevitably be loopholes."
As of now, they have found out that they are inseparable. Wei Xiaoan and the others were abducted, but they don't know where they were hidden. And the bones in the bridge hole are related to the Beggar Gang.
Here we are advancing step by step, asking beggars to help, but over there Ji Xiaowu can find the loopholes.
Yang Shu took out the Yihe picture and put it on the small table. Every time the official checked one, he would erase one.
When the dots on the picture were almost painted, he stretched and said, "Okay, let's wait for the news from your cousin."
…
Ji Xiaowu didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
He was still worried about how to change his strategy, but the Beggar Gang made some moves first.
On this day, he came back excitedly to find Gui Niang. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Gui Niang's yard, he heard a voice coming from inside: "Sir, no!"
Ji Xiaowu grabbed a girl and asked, "Who is inside?"
The girl squeaked: "Mr. Guo, you'd better go and rest first. Sister Guiniang has guests here..."
"Ah!" Gui Niang called out, and then she fell down again, only sobbing.
Ji Xiaowu's expression suddenly changed, he threw the girl away and rushed in.
The woman guarding the door tried to stop him, but he threw them all away.
Ji Xiaowu rushed into the room and saw Gui Niang with her clothes disheveled on the table. She was shocked to find him coming in: "Guo..."
The person pressing her was a middle-aged man with a shiny face. He glanced at him and said displeasedly: "What's going on? The master is doing something, why don't you hurry up and get out!"
Ji Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, then became furious and stepped forward to kick him: "Get out!"
The man was kicked by him and said angrily: "Where did you come from, you stupid boy, who dares to attack the master! Someone is here!"
Chang Sui, who had just avoided the side, hurriedly came in: "Master!"
The middle-aged man pointed at Ji Xiaowu: "If this kid dares to ruin my good deeds, I'll beat him to death!"
"No!" Gui Niang rushed over, "Sir, no! This is my younger brother, he is ignorant..."
Hearing that she was her younger brother, the middle-aged man became even more unscrupulous: "How dare you tell me to get out of here and beat you up!" He then grabbed Gui Niang with a grin and said, "You are so shameless! You are a bitch.
, where do you have the confidence to say no to the master? If you don’t drink a toast, you will be punished with a fine drink!”
After saying that, she tore it with all her strength, and with a "chi-la" sound, most of the clothes on Guiniang's chest were torn off, revealing the small clothes underneath.
Ji Xiaowu got angry, took out his dagger, and threw it away.
The sharp blade entered the body easily and hit the back of the heart. With a sound of "ah", the middle-aged man stopped moving.
Gui Niang was stunned: "Sir?"
Chang Sui was also surprised: "Master!"
The two of them ignored Ji Xiaowu and rushed over to see that their master was bleeding profusely and was already dead.
Ji Xiaowu was stunned. He didn't expect his dagger to be so accurate. Did he kill someone?
While his head was still dazed, he saw Duofu rushing in, grabbing the two attendants' necks with one hand and twisting them hard.
"Crack!"
Gui Niang was frightened again and pointed at Duofu: "You, you..."
Ji Xiaowu slowly came to his senses, and there were three more corpses in the room. He also looked at Duofu: "Did you kill them?"
Duofu said: "If the master kills this man, his servants will definitely report him to the official. This is the only way for slaves."
"..."
"Master Qi!" A voice sounded outside.
Several people turned around and saw Qi Ping stepping in.
Seeing several people lying in the room, he was also shocked: "What's going on?" He looked at Gui Niang and then at Ji Xiaowu, heartbroken, "Brother Guo, did you kill them?"
Ji Xiaowu opened his mouth.
"It's over, it's over!" Qi Ping was heartbroken, "Brother Guo, do you know who he is? This is Mr. Cao from the Ministry of Personnel! You are in trouble!"
Ji Xiaowu was confused. He discovered that Guiniang had been bullied for only a short time. His anger just now was real and not for show. Although he was not in love with Guiniang, after spending these days together, he also felt that she
She is a good woman, but when she saw her being bullied, she couldn't help but take action. Unexpectedly...
Seeing Qi Ping's expression now, he suddenly calmed down.
Qi Ping looked so sad, but his eyes glanced at Gui Niang with a warning...
He understood instantly, and acted panicked, grabbing Qi Ping: "Brother Qi, I didn't mean to kill him, it was just a mistake..."
Qi Ping helped him up and sighed: "Brother, of course you know. It's just that you made a mistake and got into big trouble! The doctor in the official department is not a Jianghu person, and the government will definitely investigate thoroughly."
Ji Xiaowu looked panicked: "What should I do? Will they take me back? No, no, I will let dad know... No, this matter is no longer a problem that dad knows about. I should tell dad. No.
That's right, I need to contact you..."
Seeing him about to take something out, Qi Ping grabbed his hand suddenly: "Brother Guo, you must not involve your father in it. We and the government are enemies. You don't want to cause trouble to your father, right? In this way, I think
I wonder if there is any way to remedy this..."
Ji Xiaowu looked grateful: "Brother Qi is righteous, and I will listen to you."
