Lin Ye never thought that some people could be so doting on their children without a bottom line.
But he didn't dare to condemn this bad habit because he was that child.
He made a very excessive request to his aunt, which was so excessive that it broke the rules of Shangwuyuan.
As long as his aunt is a normal person, it is impossible to agree, but his aunt is not a normal person.
Therefore, Lin Ye had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. He could go to Shangwuyuan, but he had to wait until he had the confidence to go.
My aunt's attitude is that if you can't get the confidence you want within half a year, then she will stuff it into his arms.
Lin Ye said that it is not good for you to do this, it will make your children lazy, unwilling to make progress, and have no pursuit.
My aunt said that would be fine too.
There is no reason to argue.
The following days seemed to be the same as usual. During the Chinese New Year, Lin Ye would practice martial arts, coax the children, etc.
Sometimes he felt that he was really not a brave person, because he didn't even dare to use sparring to help Xiao Zinai improve his strength.
At a fixed time every day, Lin Ye would go out and go to Maolinzhai in the city to buy books. He would spend about an hour reading quietly in the teahouse of Maolinzhai. No one would disturb him during this period.
The tea room is on the second floor and has windows. Sitting here, you can see people coming and going, and of course you can also see Yunzhou Temple directly opposite.
He didn't come to see the temple, even though the stone tower in Yunzhou Temple was indeed spectacular.
On the street beside Yunzhou Temple, everyone who walked by was the target of Lin Ye's observation.
Because this street is the only way to enter and leave the ghost market, the ghost market has been destroyed, but the people entering and exiting the ghost market have not stopped.
Winter in Yunzhou City is not very cold, perhaps because the mountains stretching across the north block the cold wind from the south.
Reading a book while basking in the sun by the window, glancing down the street from time to time, this life seems particularly pleasant.
Tang Jiu always came through the back door, went upstairs via the back stairs, and then waited until no one could see him before entering the house.
He would not go to the window seat because he felt that even coming into contact with someone like Lin Ye would put him in danger.
Lin Ye sent a disciple of Dafu Dog to find him a few days ago, hoping to talk to him.
This was the first time that Lin Ye took the initiative to show his kindness to Tang Jiu, which made Tang Jiu feel flattered. After all, Lin Ye was now someone he looked up to.
When they met for the first time, Lin Ye said, Mr. Tang, how many people are available around you?
Tang Jiu wanted to leave at that time, because with this sentence, he understood Lin Ye's intention.
This young man, who is only fifteen years old, actually wants to interfere in Yunzhou Prefecture.
Lin Ye said: Except for you, no one in the government office has been imprisoned, only sixteen, including the deputy chief arrester Xing Chaoyun.
He said... you don't have any of your men left, the rest are all Xing Chaoyun's people, and he is respectful to you on the surface, but he also understands that you won't last long as the chief constable.
Xing Chaoyun was just transferred to Yunzhou. His weak foundation was originally his weakness, but now it has become his strength.
Because he just came, he was not included in Lord Jin's comrades, but you were not included, just because Xing Chaoyun didn't know Yunzhou City that well.
After you get Xing Chaoyun familiar, you will probably have to go to prison to keep Master Jin company.
Mr. Fu Zhi is in jail, the Fu Cheng is vacant, the Chief Registrar, the Prison Superintendent, etc. are all in jail. Now you are the biggest arrester in Yunzhou Prefecture.
If you are short of manpower, please request transfer from the contracted military camp under the government office.
Lin Ye said, I can probably help you, and I am the only one who can help you.
From that day on, Tang Jiu came to Maolinzhai every day and brought something to Lin Ye every day.
Every day he would stay in Maolinzhai for an hour, waiting for Lin Ye to finish reading the things before leaving. Lin Ye read quickly, which was his only comfort.
The fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
According to Yunzhou custom, this is another day to eat dumplings, and the people call it Po Wu.
The afternoon sun is still so lazy and warm, entering thousands of homes through the windows, making people feel that if they don't get a good sleep, they will be sorry for this warmth.
Lin Ye did not come to Maolinzhai today, but started shopping.
He was walking around aimlessly, as if he was wasting time, which made Tang Jiu feel uneasy, but was there anything he could do to stop it?
In return, Lin Ye transferred 50 supervisory guards from the Qi Barracks to Tang Jiu, and also arranged for a big lucky dog person to be sent in, namely Flea.
As another kind of reward, Dafu Dog provided Tang Jiu with a lot of information, so Tang Jiu seemed very busy in the past few days.
He captured a lot of little minions, who were like ants in the eyes of the big shots, all related to the secret business of the City Lord's Mansion.
The people in Dafu Dog are all at the bottom of the world, but because of this, they can gather a lot of information.
The fourteenth day of the first lunar month is not a bad day if you like to eat dumplings. Anyway, any day in the north is suitable for eating dumplings.
Lin Ye walked outside the door of a small carriage and horse racing shop in the south of the city. This shop only had a fleet of cars and seven or eight people, and they probably could barely make ends meet.
Lin Ye was not wearing the captain's military uniform. He stood at the door, and a man from the carriage shop came out and greeted him politely.
The waiter asked with a smile: "This young man needs a carriage and horses?"
Lin Ye said: "Can I go in and have a look?"
The waiter thought that Lin Ye probably just wanted to see how the carriage and horses were doing, which was certainly not an excessive request, so he led Lin Ye through the door.
He walked in front, and Lin Ye followed behind. After entering the door, Lin Ye turned around and closed the door. This seemed a bit excessive.
The man stopped and looked at Lin Ye: "Sir, what on earth do you want to do? Do you want to go to the hospital to commit murder in broad daylight?"
He spoke in a loud voice, and everyone in the horse carriage rushed out.
Lin Yezi looked carefully, and his eyes finally fell on a middle-aged man at the back.
It looks like this man is about forty years old, wearing commoner clothes. Perhaps due to hard work, his temples are a little gray.
Lin Ye looked at him, and he looked at Lin Ye. After a moment, the man turned around and left.
After a few breaths, he looked back and saw seven or eight people lying in the yard, but the young man was nowhere to be seen.
After another breath, he turned around and found Lin Ye already waiting for him in front.
"Sima Lingru."
Lin Ye looked into the middle-aged man's eyes.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, then clasped his fists and said, "I have a lot of money in the house, and the banknotes I have exchanged for Dayu Tong alone are tens of thousands of taels. If you let me go, it will all be yours."
Lin Ye: "You're welcome. If you don't let it go, it's all mine."
The middle-aged man was silent for another moment. A dagger slipped out of his sleeve. As he stretched his hand forward, the dagger went straight to Lin Ye's throat with a red light.
Lin Ye thought, this is right.
How unreasonable it would be for a person who became a lieutenant in the Fearless Camp to not even reach the Diocesan realm.
The middle-aged man said: "You are very brave to come here alone."
Lin Ye raised his hand when the red light flew in front of him in an instant, and with a snap, the red light was caught by him.
The middle-aged man's face changed drastically, and fear appeared in his eyes for a moment.
Lin Ye said slowly: "I came here alone because I have some secrets that cannot be known to others, but I also need to practice my skills."
There was a ball of black sand in his palm. It was not Lin Ye's palm that held the red light, but the black sand.
Lin Ye just stretched his hand forward, and the black sand formed a vortex in his palm. The red light was twisted into it, making the sound of metal being polished on the sand.
The middle-aged man struggled to pull back, and the red light struggled in the black sand. It flew back several times, and was caught by the black sand at critical moments several times.
About three breaths later, as the black sand continued to grind, the red light dissipated and the dagger became dim.
A faint red light flashed in the black sand, and then retracted into the sleeves of the forest leaves.
Lin Ye asked: "Can you answer a few of my questions now?"
The middle-aged man probably knew that he had no way out. In terms of speed, he was far inferior to Lin Ye. In terms of strength, his aircraft was destroyed in one move.
He nodded: "Okay."
Then a second dagger slipped out of the cuff. This was not a flying weapon, just an ordinary dagger.
He stabbed the knife towards his heart.
Then, a dark shadow flashed.
A black ball hit his wrist, knocking off his dagger and breaking his wrist.
Lin Ye felt that this moment was the least cool since he entered the door, because he needed to walk over and pick up the black ball.
Those black sands are really good things, but Lin Ye has no inner strength, and his control over the black sands is only within the range of the palm of his hand.
His flying weapons hurt people... just smashed them.
But he hit it accurately.
Lin Ye actually walked over, bent down and picked up the black ball. This scene made the middle-aged man a little confused.
But how could someone like him really be captured without a fight?
The moment Lin Ye approached, he grabbed a bottle from the leather bag hanging on his belt, quickly unscrewed the cork, and poured the poisonous powder inside towards Lin Ye.
Then, he saw Lin Ye walking out of the poisonous powder, and waved his hand impatiently to disperse the poisonous powder.
Can't fight, can't win, can't you survive the poison?
This makes middle-aged men really desperate.
Lin Ye pointed at the middle-aged man's left chest, a little lower. The middle-aged man immediately let out a cry of pain and collapsed on the ground a moment later. The sweat on his face soon began to flow down.
Lin Ye knelt down and looked into the middle-aged man's eyes: "Sima Lingru?"
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and nodded: "I am, what on earth do you want to do!"
Lin Ye: "You are not, you are Sun Enwei."
The middle-aged man's eyes widened this time, and he turned around and tried to run away, but he tried his best and could only crawl forward a short distance despite the severe pain.
Lin Ye walked to the opposite side and waited for Sun Enwei to crawl over. He took off the red rope from his neck, and the red rope swayed in front of Sun Enwei's eyes.
At this moment, Sun Enwei seemed to have seen a ghost.
With his personality, he would of course remember those people in the city who needed to be remembered, so he recognized Lin Ye when he entered the carriage house.
But he didn't guess why Lin Ye came, so he didn't choose to escape at the first moment, but wanted to take a look.
By the time he wanted to escape, it was already too late. Even when he was defeated by Lin Ye, he still thought that he was catching a fish that had slipped through the city lord's mansion.
So there is nothing to be afraid of. After all, he is really a very small role in the city lord's palace.
Until he heard the name Sun Enwei and saw the red rope.
"you you......"
He said the word "you" twice in a row, but he didn't even know what he wanted to say.
Lin Ye: "Want to know how I can find you?"
Lin Ye reached out and grabbed Sun Enwei's hair and carried him to the backyard.
"I'm not a very smart person."
Lin Ye said as he walked: "So I used the stupidest way to find you."
He guessed that Sima Lingru might be Sun Enwei. If a person wanted to change his name, Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou, Wu and Zheng could do it. It would save trouble and cause less trouble.
But he chose a compound surname like Sima. The only reasonable explanation is that it is necessary.
If you are a normal person, you will definitely think about what is necessary.
But Lin Ye is not a normal person either.
He only knew that in Yunzhou City, the number of people named Sima must be much less than the number of people named Zhao, Qiansun, Li Zhou, Wu and King Zheng.
So, he asked Tang Jiu to help him find all the families with the surname Sima registered in Yunzhou City from the Jia Ge Library, including their relatives and friends, as long as they were relevant.
He read it, memorized it, and then looked for it one by one.
