The carriage is moving again.

Taking advantage of the approaching night, Liang Yuyan drove outside the carriage and kept asking the surrounding residents, but the result has always been disappointing.

Seeing that lengli hasn't come back to report, Luo qingluan can guess that he hit the wall. Most of the residents in the center of the city are well-off families who don't worry about food and clothing, so they don't want to take that risk. Those who commit crimes against the wind take in a businessman without a guide.

Then you can only go where you need it

Luo qingluan just planned to ask Liang Yuyan to call lengli back. He said he had something to tell him. He saw lengli hurried back to the nearby carriage and said, "princess, there are patrolling officers and soldiers ahead. Let's avoid it quickly."

"Go." Luo qingluan was unambiguous. When the carriage started rapidly, she asked, "lengli, didn't you find out the law of officers and soldiers patrolling in Daqing city? It's reasonable that there will be no officers and soldiers in a short time on the road we take. What's the situation?"

"Princess, the defense in Daqing city is really tight. At night, there are two teams of patrol officers and soldiers, twice as many as the general city. Therefore, the place where we were just located is no longer safe." Lengli drives with both hands and flies fast.

"I see." Luo qingluan pondered for a moment, "just now I was about to discuss with you. It's better to go to the slum in the city. Most of the people there are poor families. Give some silver to make things happen."

"Yes." Lengli drove away from the haunted patrol officers and soldiers, and quickly drove to the slum of Daqing city.

East of Daqing City, slum.

Zheng Xiaojuan is a widow in her forties. Her husband died of tuberculosis three years ago. Once her rich family broke up. Excluded by the clansmen, she could only hide from her husband's house with her son, and had no face to go back to her mother's house. Finally, she became a servant girl in the slum.

Zheng Xiaojuan sat in the yard washing clothes. Her seven year old son was playing outside the door in rags.

Amid the dust, a carriage appeared in the field of vision. Although the carriage was extremely low-key, its expensive cost could be seen everywhere. Looking at the carriage coming straight to her dilapidated yard, Zheng Xiaojuan was puzzled.

Strange.

Just don't know why, her eyes catch a layer of inexplicable excitement.

……

Liang Yuyan got out of the car and said, "elder sister, do you have any spare room at home? We are businessmen from the West. We don't know the rules of your city. We don't have a road guide, so we have nowhere to sleep at the moment. Would you please make it convenient?"

Zheng Xiaojuan is submissive: "no, no, the family is poor and has no spare room. You, you go quickly."

Liang Yuyan took out a pair of silver in her arms and smiled happily: "elder sister, it's convenient. We don't occupy the house. Two rooms are enough. Besides, we're not unreasonable. We'll give you the room money. This is 50 Liang silver. I'll show my heart and accept it."

Glancing at the silver, the woman's eyes hesitated for a moment.

As soon as Liang Yuyan saw that there was a way, she immediately tried her best to persuade him: "elder sister, you see your son is young, don't you want to add two clothes to him and leave some for the shuxiu of the private school?"

"Yes, but only for one night." Zheng Xiaojuan seemed to agree reluctantly.

Liang Yuyan was delighted: "thank you, elder sister. I'll call my family now. I'll also bother elder sister to prepare some hot food."

Zheng Xiaojuan said repeatedly, "yes, yes. Please wait a moment."

Half an hour later, Luo qingluan sat around Zheng Xiaojuan's kitchen. The cramped environment clearly showed the poverty of the host's family. On the small wooden table, there are four dishes and one soup. They are all simple dishes. It can be seen that the cook has spent a lot of time.

After serving the dishes, Zheng Xiaojuan took her son and hid in her room. Liang Yuyan shouted several times. She couldn't shout her mother out to eat together, so she had to give up. Zheng Xiaojuan held her son tightly and lowered her head. She didn't know what she was thinking.

"The eldest sister is really very. She cooked dishes to entertain us, but she didn't come to eat some together." Liang Yuyan turned back to the kitchen and smiled and sighed at Luo qingluan.

"Leave more silver for them." Luo qingluan ordered.

"OK." Liang Yuyan smiled.

After several people had eaten, Luo qingluan said, "go and have a rest for one night and discuss it tomorrow." Several people went to the two rooms sorted out by the woman. Although the conditions were poor, there was nothing to be picky about.

Several people sleep without mentioning.

After a good night's sleep, Luo qingluan asked, "I don't know what happened to the other branches of the dark night hall."

Leng Li answered: "now the situation is bad, and I can receive limited news. I only know that several branches in Daqing City alone have lost news."

"Take away the dark night hall forces in Daqing City... Emperor Dongwan is playing with fire and provoking the Lord. There is no good end!" Liang Yuyan is very angry. The members of the dark night hall are all her brothers.

Mu Xiaoyu nodded and seconded.

"What I care about is the attitude of emperor Dongwan..." Luo qingluan stroked his chin, "is the situation on the Lord still under control..."

Lengli got up and whispered: "princess, there's a situation I haven't said. I'm afraid the princess is worried."

"It doesn't hurt if you say it directly." Luo qingluan looked at lengli.

"There are two people who have been following us. Originally, the subordinates are not sure, but we have just evaded the patrol officers and soldiers. In this case, we have been chasing after them. It's a little suspicious." The cold leaves the complexion.

"Lengli, why didn't you say it earlier?!" Liang Yuyan is in a hurry.

"Since when?" Luo qingluan whispered, "don't worry, jade swallow."

"There will be after entering the city." Leng Li said, "although it hasn't been confirmed yet, look at the body method. It's the move of the dark night hall. I suspect it's Hu Bingcheng."

"Hu Bingcheng?!" Liang Yuyan "Ho" stood up, "what does this guy do with us?!"

"Don't worry about the princess. They seem to have no malice." Leng Li hardly hesitated and turned to a firm way, "why don't I catch him and ask him severely?"

Luo qingluan thought for a moment: "Yuyan, you go to help, the little fish stay for protection. I want to ask the situation, what's going on..."

Mu Xiaoyu helped them change their looks again, and they simply mixed into the crowd.

Half an hour later, Liang Yuyan and lengli came back. Lengli carried a man in his hand. It was Hu Bingcheng.

Luo qingluan's eyes projected coolly, and Hu Bingcheng explained himself.

"Princess, the villain felt guilty and worried about the safety of the princess, so he did the following activity." Hu Bingcheng grabbed hold of his loyalty. "This villain in Daqing city is familiar. I hope the princess will leave a villain, and the villain will be helpful!"

Luo qingluan glanced at Hu Bingcheng and turned to lengli.

Leng Li understood Luo qingluan's meaning and hung his head and explained, "I had simply interrogated him in the street. I saw that what he said was reasonable and not like pretending. So he released his men, caught the man and asked the princess to decide."

"You can stay." Luo qingluan took a sip of tea. "Then let go of your defection first. Your future achievements and demerits depend on yourself."

Hu Bingcheng nodded and felt more and more stupid: "but at the command of the princess."

"Then tell me about Daqing city." Luo qingluan put down the teacup in his hand and looked solemnly, "want real and comprehensive information."

Liang Yuyan answered, "yes. It doesn't mean you're familiar with Daqing city. If you can't give a detailed description, you don't have to stay!"

"Yes, the villain said in detail." Hu Bingcheng said, "princess, no wonder the villain was confused at the beginning. Not only the situation in Daqing city is severe, but also the situation of all the dark night hall branches in Dongwan is not optimistic."

"The officers and soldiers patrol suspicious people and so on, and the Patrol Force has more than doubled. The dark night hall has not experienced any dangerous situation. Only this time, the emperor Dongwan shot quickly and saw blood with a knife. We were beaten unprepared."

"The branch rudders lost contact with each other, the morale of the army was uncertain, there were many defectors, and there were those who vowed not to follow to the death. They were all... Killed." Hu Bingcheng's tone was low. If he didn't really lose hope, how could he defecte as an old man in the dark night Hall

"Now the officers and soldiers are rampant in the city, and the people are miserable and miserable. Some foolish people say... Say..." Hu Bingcheng began to hesitate.

"Just say it." Luo qingluan looked at him deeply.

Hu Bingcheng was an agitator, and each word jumped out in a rush: "saying that it was the fault of the Lord, they cursed the Lord one after another, saying that the people would not suffer such a disaster if it was not for his sake!"

After that, Hu Bingcheng looked up and saw Liang YuYan's iron blue face. It seemed that at this time, he thought of what damn words he said, and hurriedly explained: "princess, this is not what villains say, it's those fools..."

"Shut up!" Luo qingluan got angry in his words and immediately calmed down, "it's not the fault of the people, it's someone behind the fire..."

Except for Hu Bingcheng, everyone else in the room looked calm. Unexpectedly, Daqing City, no, the situation of the whole Dongwan is so tense.

Luo qingluan made a decision: "little fish and jade swallow stay here, lengli and me, and you - Hu Bingcheng!"

"The villain is here!" Hu Bingcheng quickly answered.

"You two go out with me. I'll inquire about the situation myself." Luo qingluan turned to Mu Xiaoyu, "let's go now. Xiaoyu will change my face for me."

When they got to the street, they inquired and heard the complaints of the king of Chu.

"Ah! The king of Chu, what's Dongwan? It makes our people miserable. He's really a plague God!"

"Isn't it! You have to check when you go in and out of the city gate. You can't get through without silver. This officer and soldier is as determined as a snake and scorpion and is specialized in detaining our little people!"

"In the final analysis, it's not the bad luck brought by the king of Chu! Now business can't be done. My wife and daughter dare not go out and are in panic all day."

"If the king of Chu is not good, heaven will punish him!"

"Yes, good and evil will be rewarded!"

Luo qingluan's face was livid.

Leng Li planned to come forward and teach those ignorant people a lesson. Before he could do it, a group of officers and soldiers came in front, pulled a few prison cars and caught some disheartened people.

Luo qingluan said, "lengli, come back."

The three quietly watched the team of prison cars approaching from a distance. It was an identity that needed to be hidden in the crowd. Hu Bingcheng was suddenly excited: "that, that's... Huh!"

Before he yelled, lengli covered his mouth and dragged away a few steps. The three turned to an empty alley. Luo qingluan stared at him and lengli asked, "what's the matter?! we are sensitive, how can you shout!!"

Hu Bingcheng took a few breaths and explained, "yes, it's Zhang Cheng!"

"Who is Zhang Cheng?" Luo qingluan frowned.

"To the princess, Zhang Cheng is the owner of the lucky gambling house in Daqing city. He is the last man in the prison car. He is also one of the branch helmsman of the dark night hall!" Hu Bingcheng couldn't help getting excited. His face turned red. "I thought he was killed. He was still alive!"
