After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 1017 Returning on a Snowy Night 3

They are the cousins ​​who live next door to Peng Dachui.

The prison robbery failed.

Baimei and Shili were both captured.

Only one of those idiots from the First Chamber of the Privy Council escaped!
Although the Privy Council requires all spies to commit suicide once captured, it is difficult for humans to have the courage to commit suicide.

Even if you are a prisoner, life is still better than death!
But to live is to suffer.

Unless you confess!

Qianyue didn't know whether Baimei and Shili would commit suicide, or whether they would confess, so she couldn't gamble!

The two of them were probably unable to withstand the torture instruments of the Punishment Department.

So she and Shen Jiye hid in this slum.

Although this place is dirty, messy and poor, the government agents rarely come here.

Because there is no oil or water.

What Qian Yue never expected was that this place was really a mixed bag!

The next day, the two of them went out to inquire about the news. In just a few hours, when they came back, the temporarily rented house had been looted!
That's really a waste!

Not even a single piece of her obscene clothing was left behind!
It is impossible to report to the official, and it is impossible to kill someone.

You can't kill indiscriminately with your eyes closed. What if you attract the police?
He could only knock his teeth down and swallow it into his stomach.

Fortunately, I still have ten taels of silver in my purse.

But the house leaked and it rained all night. Just two days ago, the two went to inquire about the news again, and their wallets were also stolen.

This time I was really penniless.

I went out hungry today. I wanted to make some money by performing on the street, but I was worried that my identity would be exposed.

They also wanted to rob, but they didn't dare to move in the face of the current situation.

Today, I walked around the entrance of Duke Luo's Mansion. I wanted to ask Luo Ye to get some money, but I found that there were many spies outside the Duke Luo's Mansion.

I heard that the emperor asked Luo Ye to worry about three years...

It seems that the little emperor has become suspicious of Luo Ye, so those captured may have confessed.

Don't stay here for long!

Qianyue decided to leave.

You have to eat before you leave!

We have to take advantage of this snowy and cold night to leave Yujing City!
Originally, I wanted to grab some steamed buns after dark, but unexpectedly, my neighbor was making dog stew!
damned!
This dog meat tastes so delicious!

Qian Yue suddenly realized that the so-called delicacies she had eaten for more than ten years could not compare with the taste of this dog meat!
She swallowed again, her stomach growling.

I looked up at the sky, it was not dark yet.

I turned around and looked at the street. Those miserable neighbors were still wandering around.

"Hold it!"

"Wait until dark!"

"I can't eat hot dogs in a hurry!"

"Go, go back!"

Shen Jiye reluctantly withdrew his gaze and followed Qian Yue towards the dilapidated house in front.

"Where shall we go after leaving Yujing City?"

Qian Yue glanced at Shen Jiye:

"Go to Vietnam!"

"Who are you exactly?"

Qian Yue lifted her steps and walked against the wind and snow.

"Don't ask, save some energy and you will kill people and eat dogs!"

……

……

Dark as ink.

There was only a dim oil lamp in Peng Dachui's room.

But the room had warmed up, and the worry on Yang Huai's face, who was sitting in front of the stove, had completely dissipated.

Perhaps it was the contrast of the charcoal fire, or perhaps it was the renewed hope for the future, that her originally pale face had a blush.

From time to time she looked up.

Beside the shabby little table, the five beautiful girls were sitting quietly.

The husband had a very pleasant conversation with Lin Linqi, the young first secret agent of the Imperial City Division. It is said that the Imperial City Department is like a palace of hell, filled with terrifying imps with ferocious spirits, souls, and lives...

But this secret agent seemed different.

He is very easy going.

Always had a smile on his face.

He was able to contact the emperor, so his status was expected to be extremely high.

But he didn't give people a feeling of being superior. He was more approachable than the policemen in the yamen.

The husband is now much less restrained than he was at the beginning, so it seems that the husband has made up his mind.

Yeah.

Living is better than anything else!
A monthly salary of ten taels of silver...

Although it is far from what it was when he was in Huihe, Yang Huai is already very content.

Not to mention the people living in the slums, it is extremely difficult for even the small traders in Yujing City to earn ten taels of silver a month.

What's more, the fish scale armor made by her husband has been approved by the emperor, and he has won the war. Maybe the emperor will be rewarded if he is happy.

My husband must have a good relationship with this Master Zero Zero Seven!

It is impossible to have no foundation or backing in the imperial court.

But I don’t have anything at home, so what should I give this adult so that he can help his husband?

By the way, ask your husband to make a lighter and thinner armor for him. After all, the work done by the Imperial City Division is very dangerous, so I think he will like this life-saving armor.

Just when Yang Huai was thinking this, Li Chenan had already roughly understood the situation in this place from Peng Dachui's mouth.

Almost of the more than 150,000 people living here are not natives of Yujing City.

Most of them are refugees, that is, refugees who have fled from various places over the years!
“This place used to be a mess.”

"I heard that when Ji Tai was in power, deaths were common in this place."

"There are people who kill for a steamed bun, and there are also people who are government servants who kill people because they don't receive filial piety."

"Of course there are some desperadoes in the world who kill people randomly."

"It's gotten better in the past two years. When we came here, we heard that Jitai had been killed by the emperor, and the officialdom had been rectified, and the servants no longer dared to act recklessly."

"Jingzhao Mansion also set up a police station in Beixinqiao. There were about twenty police officers to maintain order here, and the place gradually calmed down."

"But still poor!"

"The villain dared to say something that shouldn't be said...The villain has lived here for two years. In fact, the people living here are not lazy...there are very few lazy people."

Li Chenan looked at Peng Dachui and asked with a smile:
"Then what do you think the reason is?"

"...There is nowhere to use your strength!"

"This is the capital of Ningguo. What this place really needs is not coolies, but learned people."

"There is a limited amount of work available for coolies... Even if every household provides one laborer, there are still 40,000 men here willing to work."

"Those big merchants have their own servants to guard their homes. Even if their goods are moved, they rarely hire outsiders."

"Recently, I heard that the emperor intends to build the dock in Huaishan County... This is actually a great thing!"

“With the Huaishan County Wharf, the Yuguangdao Canal can really be put to use!”

"If the wharf is to be built, it must be large enough so that there can be enough ships to transport goods from various places to Yujing City."

"The portage requires a lot of labor, which is enough to solve the problem of making a living for the prime people here."

"In addition... I went to Huaishan County to see that place. It has long been abandoned, but it is far away from here."

"If you want to work at the dock for a long time, it is best to live in Huaishan County."

"Sir, when all the 40,000 households here move to Huaishan County... Huaishan County will become lively, and here... the court can rebuild a new city!"

Li Chenan was immediately impressed by Peng Dachui!
This is a real estate trick!
No need to demolish it!

This is a great way to kill two birds with one stone!

"What you said...makes sense!"

Just as Li Chenan finished speaking, the door was kicked open with a "Bang!"

Two people broke into the house.

A voice came:
"do not move!"

"I just want a bite of dog meat..."

After a three-breath pause, the sight of the man holding the knife in front adjusted to the light in the room. He stared at Li Chenan in shock, as if he had seen a ghost!
Li Chenan also stared at Shen Jiye in surprise. For a moment, he was happy:

"Hey, brother-in-law, come on, come on!" (End of chapter)
