Chapter 583 The darkness under the capital [1 more]
Chu Yi followed Zhu Zaiji's gaze and saw a white-haired old man playing with candy figures on the street not far away. In front of him, several children stood eagerly.
Each one of them held their fingers in their mouths and stared at the lifelike candy figures in the old man's hands.
Seeing this situation, Chu Yi couldn't help but smile, patted Zhu Zaiji's little head, and the two walked to the old man.
Zhu Zaiji looked at the candy man with excitement on his face, and then said to Chu Yi: "Teacher, teacher, Ji'er wants to..."
When there were no outsiders, Zhu Zaiji called Chu Yi Taifu, but when there were outsiders, Zhu Zaiji followed Chu Yi's instructions and called him teacher.
After all, even a fool would know what it means when he hears the title Taifu.
Whether it is Chu Yi or Zhu Zaiji, although they have changed their clothes, their temperament has been cultivated by the environment they have been in for a long time. For the old man who has been on this street all year round, he is used to seeing all kinds of people.
In other words, it can be said that one can tell at a glance that Chu Yi and Zhu Zaiji are definitely from wealthy families.
"You two, I wonder which candy man you have chosen?"
Chu Yi didn't speak, but just looked at Zhu Zaiji. At this moment, Zhu Zaiji blinked and said to the old man: "Grandpa, Ji'er wants a candy man like the teacher. Well, by the way, I want another one."
A sugar man like Gil!"
The old man was slightly startled, and subconsciously looked at Chu Yi. Chu Yi did not expect that Zhu Zaiji would make such a request, but Chu Yi just smiled and nodded to the old man and said, "This will help me."
While speaking, Chu Yi took out a few copper coins from his sleeves and handed them to the old man.
The old man saw this and said with a bit of joy: "Noble, please wait for a moment, I will be pinched by you now."
For the old man, making sugar figures has become his instinct. With Chu Yi and Zhu Zaiji as reference, in just a blink of an eye, two lifelike candy figures were made.
At first glance, there is really no difference between Chu Yi and Zhu Zaiji.
At this moment, an angry curse came: "Old man, have you paid your protection fee today!"
Chu Yi raised his brows, stretched out his hand and gently pulled Zhu Zaiji to his side. He heard a cry of surprise and saw several big men with sinister faces and sinister looks walking over.
Zhu Zaiji, who was holding the candy man in his hand, couldn't help but look at the big men curiously, his little face full of doubts and confusion.
When those big men's eyes fell on Chu Yi and Zhu Zaiji, a strange look flashed in their eyes. A big man headed by them swept over Chu Yi and Zhu Zaiji without leaving a trace, changing his previous fierce look.
He looked at the old man and said, "Old man, Mr. Tiger is in a good mood today, so I will waive your protection fee today."
Upon hearing this, the old man quickly thanked Li Hu and the others with tears in his eyes.
Chu Yi glanced at Li Hu and the others indifferently, shook his head slightly, patted Zhu Zaiji on the head and said: "Ji'er, let's go."
Zhu Zaiji is a child after all. He nodded happily when he heard this, holding two candy figures in his hands, and skipped ahead.
Chu Yi followed Zhu Zaiji step by step, and not far behind Chu Yi and the others, the fierce-looking Tiger Master and his group quietly followed Chu Yi and the others, and gradually approached Chu Yi and the others.
.
"Eh!"
Zhu Zaiji paused, with a look of confusion on his little face. Looking along Zhu Zaiji's gaze, Chu Yi only saw the entrance of a small alley in front of him. Two thin little beggars were huddled in the corner. It looked like
He is only six or seven years old.
Following Zhu Zaiji, Chu Yi did not stop Zhu Zaiji, but instead allowed Zhu Zaiji to run to the two beggars.
The two little beggars had a timid look in their eyes, but when they saw that the candy man in Zhu Zaiji's hand still had some food, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva and stared at the food in Zhu Zaiji's hand.
Zhu Zaiji handed the food in his hand to the two little beggars and said: "Little brother, Ji'er will give it to you!"
Chu Yi, who was standing aside, looked at Zhu Zaiji's actions and nodded slightly. The reason why he brought Zhu Zaiji out was not only to let Zhu Zaiji leave the stuffy palace and come out for a breath of air, but more importantly, he wanted to let Zhu Zaiji see the people from an early age.
suffering.
If Zhu Zaiji wants to be a wise king in the future, it will obviously be impossible if he just stays in the Forbidden City.
If you don't know the sufferings of the people and don't go deep into the people, how can you be a capable monarch?
When Zhu Zaiji was young, he was in a stage where there was no good or evil. The environment in which he grew up had a great impact on a person.
As the saying goes, those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black. If Zhu Zaiji is allowed to stay in the palace all year round and outshine the hands of women and eunuchs, I wonder what the future will be like.
Now that Zhu Zaiji is just a child, his actions don't seem to mean much, but at least it can be seen that Zhu Zaiji has a pure and kind nature, which is beyond doubt.
If those Confucians saw this, I don't know how they would praise Zhu Zaiji.
"Um!"
At this moment, Chu Yi suddenly turned around, and with a focused look, he saw Li Hu and the others walking towards them with ferocious expressions on their faces, carrying large sacks.
"Tsk, tsk, tender skin and tender meat, full of nobility, you can see that you are from an extraordinary family. Those big men must like it very much!"
Li Hu muttered, his eyes flashing with excitement, looking at Chu Yi and Zhu Zaiji, it was like seeing a pile of gold and silver.
Chu Yi was slightly startled when he heard Li Hu's muttering, and suddenly felt a little angry in his heart. In broad daylight, in the most virtuous place in the capital, there would be such human traffickers.
Needless to say, if nothing unexpected happens, these people must be shameless human traffickers. If they are ordinary human traffickers, that's it. But judging from the actions of people like Li Hu targeting Chu Yi and Zhu Zaiji, Li Hu and others
This person is by no means an ordinary human trafficker.
As Li Hu himself said, whether it is Chu Yi or Zhu Zaiji, anyone who is not a fool can tell that they have good temperament and obviously have extraordinary backgrounds.
However, under this situation, instead of keeping a distance from Chu Yi and Zhu Zaiji, Li Hu and others had the audacity to think of seizing and selling them.
There is never a shortage of people in this world who are bold and wanton. With Chu Yi's knowledge, just looking at people like Li Hu, he can imagine that there must be a powerful force behind these people. Otherwise, these people will definitely
He didn't dare to rob nobles with such high status in the capital.
Several people carried sacks and rushed towards Chu Yi and Zhu Zaiji with ferocious faces.
Zhu Zaiji opened his eyes wide, looked at these people curiously and then said to Chu Yi: "Teacher, are they going to play games with Ji'er?"
Chu Yi smiled slightly, nodded towards Zhu Zaiji and said, "Yes, these people are playing games with Ji'er!"
When Li Hu and the others saw the appearance of Chu Yi and Zhu Zaiji, they sneered. These wealthy young men were just ignorant, but it was okay. They had such decent looks and good temperaments. As long as they were captured and trained by the elders in the sect,
After all, I believe those noble people will be willing to pay a high price for it.
However, at this moment, several figures suddenly appeared, and with a bang, the gleaming Xiuchun knife came towards Li Hu and the others.
Li Hu and others were obviously stunned by this sudden change. Just a moment ago, they were thinking of putting Chu Yi and Zhu Zaiji directly into sacks, and then throwing them on the carriage to take them away. However, one day
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Jinyi guards appeared.
Although these Jin Yiwei did not have any gorgeous clothes, anyone with some knowledge could judge their identities from the chilling aura on these people and the embroidered spring knife in their hands.
"What's going on? Who are you?"
Li Hu and others were surrounded. Facing more than a dozen embroidered spring knives, Li Hu and others did not even dare to have the thought of resisting. In the blink of an eye, they were captured one by one.
A member of the Jinyi Guards saluted Chu Yi cautiously and said: "Your Highness, my subordinates came to rescue you late. Please forgive me."
Li Hu opened his eyes wide and looked at Chu Yi stupidly, especially when the royal guard called Chu Yi His Highness. This made Li Hu feel very puzzled. Could it be that he was so unlucky to be in this long street?
Have you met anyone from the royal family?
In the eyes of Li Hu and others, there seems to be no one other than the royal family that Jin Yiwei can respect so much and call him His Highness.
"My lord, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
Li Hu rolled his eyes and immediately begged Chu Yi for mercy.
Chu Yi just glanced at Li Hu and the others, his eyes condensed, and a terrifying aura filled the air from Chu Yi. Li Hu and the others immediately froze, feeling as if they were being targeted by the peerless god of death.
generally.
Chu Yi patted Zhu Zaiji on the head. When passing by Li Hu and others, Li Hu and others still maintained their sluggish appearance.
When Chu Yi walked by and his aura subsided, Li Hu and the others came back to their senses. Looking at the backs of Chu Yi holding Zhu Zaiji, one big and one small, their eyes were filled with infinite fear.
"Who is this person? He is so terrifying! Even the guardians in the teaching are not so scary!"
Such thoughts flashed through Li Hu's mind. At this moment, the Jin Yiwei Baihu stepped forward and punched Li Hu, hitting Li Hu's pubic area. Bone-piercing pain came from Li Hu.
Tiger's head felt a pain, and then he saw a face full of murderous intent.
It turned out that the Jin Yiwei Baihu punched Li Hu hard, then grabbed Li Hu's hair and raised him in front of him.
"You are so courageous, you dare to even dare to attack His Highness King Wu and the little prince..."
