Daxuannv's sentence

Chapter 95

After struggling for a long time, Ye Ke finally came out of the alley. Standing in the shadows here, she watched with lingering fear that the sister-in-law pulled her half of her sleeve and went back in disappointment. She let out a long sigh of resentment. He glanced at Zhu You, who was gloating at the side.

"Just look at it and you will know it! You didn't know just now, help me!?"

Zhu You touched his nose, "I'm also afraid of being pulled in by her."

Ye Ke: "."

The two walked closely for a while, during which, Zhu You was in front, and Ye Ke kept pointing at Zhu You's back and cursing from the street all the way to the end of the street, but still felt that it was not enough, at this moment, he suddenly found the person in front of him. Zhu You didn't move, and looked forward, it turned out that there was a lonely house next to the innermost side of the quiet and dark street ahead, and the dim light reflected a square on the ground.

Taking a look under the light, above the gate of the courtyard, there is an old plaque engraved with two large characters: Yizhuang!
There was a light of surprise in Ye Ke's eyes, and he rushed over with Zhu You, and found a white-haired old man in the courtyard door, with a thin figure, who was dragging a dead body down from the cart. After he moved the corpse vigorously, he had to gasp for several breaths, as if he was going to use up all the strength in his body.

The two tied their horses to the post in front of the door, stepped forward and said, "Old man, I'll help you!"

With his back to the door, the old man was startled by Ye Ke's words, and the corpse in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. Looking back, he saw two handsome young men, one tall and one short, and immediately said: "No, no !” He stopped in front of the two of them.

The old man's face was full of wrinkles, and his sallow face showed signs of age. His slightly cloudy eyes looked at the two of them twice before he said, "My lords, are you looking for a place to stay?"

Zhu You stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Old man, my two brothers are from the capital city. They came to Anxi County to do some business, but they were delayed on the road for a while. It was already dark and we couldn't find the inn. I saw that there was a Lantern, this is the only time I came to disturb you."

The old man looked at the two of them twice again and said with a smile: "There are quite a few young masters from the capital, but they all went to the kilns in the smelly water alley. Could it be that the two young masters can't find their way?"

Ye Ke immediately said: "The old man was joking, my brother and I are clean and self-sufficient people, just now the kiln sister pulled me, but I didn't go, you see!" She pointed to her half-broken sleeve.

Then the old man said seriously: "So that's it, you two, this is Yizhuang, where the dead live. It's unlucky. You two should find another place." The corpse, at this moment, Ye Ke and Zhu You stepped forward and lifted the corpse up.

Seeing the two people stepping forward to carry the corpse, the old man turned pale with fright. Ordinary people see the corpse and avoid it, so who will come up to carry it?He hurriedly said: "Young masters, no, no, bad luck, put it down quickly!"

But Ye Ke said with a smile: "You can live in this Yizhuang old man, why can't the two of us live?"

Zhu You comforted the old man and said: "Old man, don't worry, my brother is a gangster!"

"Ah!" The old man exclaimed in surprise, "It's really a pity that such a handsome young master has become a lowly citizen."

The two of them carried the corpse to Yizhuang. Inside were some dilapidated coffins. Some corpses didn't even have a coffin. They were rolled up by the straw mat and placed on the ground. There is a small oil lamp on a pillar in the house, which is being flickered by the cold wind passing through the hall.

The old man led the two to sit down in the corner of the room and lit a charcoal fire. This is a clean corner surrounded by the old man with straw mats. Immediately, the old man took out two sesame seed cakes wrapped in clean oil paper and handed them to the two. : "If you two don't dislike it, let's deal with it."

Although the place is simple, when the old man took out the sesame seed cakes just now, the action of rubbing the oil paper touched Ye Ke's heart. As a result, the sesame seed cakes were eaten immediately. I wish you to eat more elegantly, but Also eat with relish.

When the old man saw that the two were eating generously, the trace of cowardice in his eyes disappeared, and his face was full of joy.

"The little old man's surname is Feng. I have been guarding Yizhuang here for more than ten years. The neighbors in the neighborhood call me Old Feng." The old man introduced himself.

"My name is Zhu You. This is my brother. Zhu Ke." Zhu You also gave a brief introduction.

While eating, Ye Ke glanced at the corpses in Yi Zhuang and said, "Mr. Feng, why are there so many corpses unclaimed?"

Old Feng said in a low voice: "Yes, they are basically from the side of Stinky Water Street!"

"Why did so many people die? From what I see, they all died violently. Does the official uniform not care?" Ye Ke asked.

"Shh! Keep your voice down, young man!" Old Feng glanced outside, then lowered his voice and said, "Hey, there are many brothels, brothels, and brothels in the smelly water street. There are a lot of them, it's the prostitution halls, it's quite normal to kill a few people there."

Ye Ke didn't quite understand, stared at the big eyes with doubts, and asked: "Are the prostitution restaurants alone?"

Old Fengtou said: "Young man, you don't know that brothels and brothels need to be taxed by the government on the surface, and the smelly water street in Anxi County is where the famous brothels are located, so many people in the capital Young masters will also come here here to look for flowers and ask willows, and when there are more people, some people's minds will come alive, and there will be more prostitution halls, and the prostitution parlors do not need to pay taxes to the government."

"But won't the government investigate?" Zhu You asked.

"Hey! Although the prostitution halls don't pay taxes, they still have to pay tribute to the local officials and lords. If the government collects taxes, it goes to the court, but the filial piety of the prostitution halls, the officials put them in their pockets. What happened? Turn a blind eye, close one eye, you do your business, I make my fortune!"

Ye Ke was startled when he heard that, but at this moment, Old Feng said: "Young man, although you are a coward, I can assure you that you have seen a lot of corpses in this room, right?"

Ye Ke nodded.

"Let me tell you, compared with what happened 20 years ago, it's all pediatrics!" Old Feng said with a dark head. Everyone in the village is dead!"

Zhu You instinctively felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, please explain in detail."

At this time, old Fengtou pointed in one direction and said, "Do you know the forest near the capital?"

Ye Ke's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Feng Bo Ridge!?"
