Chapter 19 Hei Ya
The sun was rising in the east, and the distant morning bell rang in the huge city. The area around Mingyu Tower was already crowded with countless wanderers from all over the world trying to make a living.

Ye Jingtang rode a black horse through the bustling streets and alleys, and stopped outside the Wubian Yamen near Mingyu Tower.

The black yamen is quite large. Outside the main entrance is a small square with a flagpole on it, but instead of a flag, it is a place where people's heads are hung. There is even a word in the rivers and lakes called "hanging head black yamen",
Hei Ya is known as the 'Hall of the King of Hell', and it belongs to the 'Private Guards of the Prince's Mansion'. It is not included in the framework of the six departments, and it does not accept lawsuits for interrogation. Usually, no one visits. There are only two policemen standing guard outside the door.

Ye Jingtang handed over his badge and was invited into the gate.

Inside the gate is a normal lobby, with classrooms on the left and right, but no place to receive guests.

After waiting for a while behind the screen wall, two people walked out from the back of the lobby, led by 'Bai Wuchang' wounded Jianli.Different from the dress of Jianghu guest yesterday, he was wearing a blue robe.

By the way, nicknames such as 'Bai Wuchang' and 'Liu Sha' were given by people in the Jianghu. The original intention was derogatory, but the hard power was too strong, so they became respectful titles.

Shang Jianli is a serious military officer who enjoys a fourth-rank salary, so he probably won't like the title of 'Death to Life'. He wears a blue robe instead of white, presumably to avoid suspicion.

Following behind Shang Jianli was the bearded Wang Chihu, Yaoyao politely waved:

"Brother Ye, you are really dishonest. You pretended to be poor for me two days ago, but the result is good. The entire Tianshui Bridge belongs to your family. Fortunately, I still want to help you..."

Ye Jingtang stepped forward and bowed his hands: "My lord, Wang Zongqi, why did you come out to welcome the guests in person? It's too embarrassing."

Wang Chihu laughed and said: "It's good to know Zhesha. As the young master of the Pei family, Catcher She's head was injured by you. Why don't you go to Jinping Tower and order a dozen girls to wait on you, and you still want to hang out in the capital?"

"It's natural. I accidentally hurt Master She yesterday, and I haven't had time to apologize. Why don't I invite Master She to Jinping Tower now?"

While talking, Ye Jingtang looked at him a little, only to realize that Shang Jianli was very young, at most in his early thirties.

The masters of the inner family are all more demonic as they get older. It is terrifying to have a reputation that makes people in the Jianghu fearful at this age.

Shang Jianli's demeanor was quite cold, but facing Ye Jingtang, he still showed a smile:
"I don't like drinking and lust, and She Long still has to recover from his injuries for a few days. When the office is over, Mr. Ye can go with Wang Zongqi. Mr. Ye came to the door, but you want to see Prince Jing?"

"I'm just a grassroots person, so I don't dare to disturb Prince Jing. Prince Jing appreciates you, so I came here today to try my best to see if my martial arts can help the court."

"Oh?"

When Shang Jianli heard this, his eyes showed approval, and he led Ye Jingtang to the back office:
"Young Master Ye has such a heart, King Jing will be relieved to know that. The world outside is too big, and the powers of the black yamen are not clear. The dirty work that the judicial yamen can't handle is all thrown on the black yamen. The yamen's catcher is I really can't run..."

After chatting for a few words, Shang Jianli brought Ye Jingtang into a main hall.

There are several rows of bookshelves in the hall, and the walls on the west side are covered with 'wanted warrants', and it is estimated that there are nearly a hundred people. The single vacant one on the top has the name 'Xue Baijin' written on it.

This name is a bit unfamiliar, but Ye Jingtang looked at the content a little bit, and was shocked——Xue Baijin, nicknamed 'Pingtian Jiaozhu'.

Pingtian Sect Ye Jingtang is like thunder, it is an organization established by the remnant party of the previous dynasty, and it defends Nanxiao Mountain to death, and still refuses to surrender after [-] years of destroying the country.

And Pingtian leader, ranked No. [-] among the Eight Quests and No. [-] in the world, known as "Invincible under the Mountain", has no opponents in the secular world, except for the three old monsters who cultivate immortals on the mountain.

Standing in front of the wall, Ye Jingtang looked at the arrest warrant of the leader of Pingtian, and felt that it was just a decoration.

And Wang Chihu, who was behind, guessed what Ye Jingtang meant, and joked:
"Master Dizang shook his head when he saw this thing. No one dared to pick it up. Brother Ye wants to try it?"

"The ones hanging on this wall are all heavenly soldiers and generals. I can't afford to offend the one at the bottom. Wang Zongqi, stop joking."

"One must have ambition."

Wang Chihu sighed: "Master Pingtian, this dog thief, is not a good person. The former number one beauty in the Jianghu, the 'Goddess of the Toad Palace', is highly chivalrous in martial arts, and has countless admirers in the Jianghu. Peerless demeanor, I don’t know how many knights I have attracted, to this day, women in the Jianghu love green clothes more than red clothes..."

Ye Jingtang had never heard of this allusion, and asked curiously:
"This heroine was murdered by the leader of Pingtian?"

"If it hurts, I still respect Xue Baijin not to be moved by her beauty. According to rumors, the 'Goddess of the Toad Palace' is a chivalrous hero, accidentally met the leader of Pingtian, and then became the leader's wife"

"Pingtian Cult Master took people back?"

Shang Jianli stood by his side, shook his head and said:
"Don't listen to the rumors in the rivers and lakes. The Pingtian Sect will stick to Nanxiao Mountain and will not surrender. They are stubborn and want to restore the previous dynasty. The Pingtian Sect will not be sought after by so many people in the Jianghu. Such a hero, how can he do the lowly business of robbing women."

Ye Jingtang thought about it too, and nodded.

Shang Jianli might be afraid of being misunderstood by Ye Jingtang, so he explained:
"Of course, I'm not saying that the leader of Pingtian is a good person, but he is a little bit more moral than the 'green bandit' who is full of evil. To the court, he is an unforgivable traitor. If the mountains and Junshantai are so loyal to the imperial court, or they are as peaceful as Honghualou and Shuiyunjiantan, the world will be peaceful long ago."

Wang Chihu, who was beside him, was very courageous, and said directly:
"Those who know the injustice and inhumanity of those in power, but dare not use martial arts to violate the ban, are not worthy of the word 'Xia'. If everyone can eat and drink enough, how many people will hang their heads on their waistbands and walk in the world? In my opinion, the world People are flooded and disobedient, and the problem lies in the three rows in front of the Tai Chi Hall, so we can’t blame Jianghu people for having backbones.”

? !
This is no longer chatting to death, but chatting to death.

Shang Jianli turned around and left, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Ye Jingtang was stunned, bit the bullet and asked:

"May I ask Wang Zongqi's father?"

Wang Chihu showed a haughty look on his face: "My father, Duke of Zhen Wang Yin, Prince Jing is my cousin, isn't he fierce?"

Ye Jingtang really didn't see it, no wonder he was so unafraid of death, he cupped his hands and said:
"It's amazing, it's because I'm blind."

"Where where..."

Shang Jianli should have been accustomed to Wang Chihu's unrestrained words and deeds, so he came to the book, took out a bunch of files, and handed them to Ye Jingtang:
"Young Master Ye, these are the errands that Hei Ya is running. They are all under the jurisdiction of Yunzhou. You can choose them at will. Master Ye is not from Hei Ya. According to the rules, after completing the errands, the rewards will be sent directly to the mansion. The credit is only Please don't mind if it can be recorded under the name of Shang Mou."

This word means 'outsourcing', because there are too many people in the Great Wei Jianghu, and the yamen is not manned enough, such things are actually very common, and 'reward order' is one of them.

Ye Jingtang came to Hei Ya to make some connections, so talking without practice is definitely not enough, so I took over a stack of files to check...

Hu Jianli is really impolite, it's all a big case!
The perpetrators basically have quack nicknames, such as 'heart-cutting hand' and 'skin-peeling scholar', they look like quack devils at first glance, and the evaluation of martial arts from the rear is either 'first-class master, suspected master', or 'ruthless and cunning, Treat with caution'.

Ye Jingtang flipped through a few pages, his expression slightly awkward:
"Is there something simpler? I just came out of society...cough...just out of the rivers and lakes, these jobs are probably..."

Shang Jianli gave a "ghost pat on the shoulder": "Young Master Ye almost took off She Long's arm. He is not a master, but he is not far from the master. Let the young master catch a few thieves who reward you with money, it would be too bad for the young master, Hei Ya There is no such a simple errand. They are all here, just pick one at random, and if it is done, it will eliminate harm for the people, and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t.”

Ye Jingtang bit the bullet and turned down, and finally found a burglar——Yanzhou bandit 'Wingless Owl', his light skills are outstanding and his combat power is not high. According to the tip, he came to the capital recently and secretly sneaked into the 'Yubei' where historical materials are stored. Ge', seems to be looking for something, should still stay in the capital.

Wingless Owl has a few lives in his hands, which is why he was wanted by the black government, but those who can be "thieves" probably won't be too exaggerated in combat power, and the danger is low.

Ye Jingtang originally wanted to take over, but after looking at his resume carefully - the most famous feat of the Wingless Owl was stealing the Yanshan Jieyun Palace!

Ye Jingtang was startled, never thought that there are burglars in the world, who can steal things from Bada Kui.

This person is dangerous but not dangerous, but a fierce person who even dared to steal from Jieyun Palace and was able to get away with it could be easily caught?

Other cases are much more risky than this one. Ye Jingtang went back and forth twice, and it was not easy to get myself into it. It seems that this is the only one. Think about it or take out the file of 'Wingless Owl':
"I don't have much experience in fighting. Try this. If you can't catch it, don't blame me for hurting you."

"The yamen is also investigating, Mr. Ye can do his best, even if he can't catch him, if he can find his whereabouts, the reward will not be less."

"To live or to die?"

"The gangsters who can be hunted down by the black yamen all have serious crimes and are dangerous and cunning. Except for some people with special identities, others can be killed on the spot, so don't keep your hands. Because of this, the yamen was closed down a lot in the past. Younger brother, Ye Gongzi must not be merciful."

Ye Jingtang nodded slightly, and after receiving the errand, took advantage of the situation and said:

"I'm quite keen on sword skills. Master Shang mentioned the 'Tianhe Sword' Qiu Tianhe yesterday. I heard that he is a master of sword skills. I don't know if it's convenient for you..."

Shang Jianli saw Ye Jingtang's sword technique yesterday, and it's not surprising that he was curious about the sword masters in the Jianghu.

Ye Jingtang's family background is clear, in the black yamen, and he is not afraid of him robbing prisons and killing prisoners, so Shang Jianli turned around and led the way:
"Let's go, take Young Master Ye to have a look. Qiu Tianhe is a famous master of swordsmanship, if you can give Young Master Ye a few words of advice, it will be of great benefit to Young Master Ye."

Ye Jingtang didn't expect Shang Jianli to be so straightforward, he immediately followed behind, cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you for the convenience, my lord."

"It's a lot of work, what's the point."
