Touring the Ming Dynasty

The area around Jiming Mountain in Yingtianfu (Nanjing) is a lively place. There are many temples under Jiming Mountain. Although the rebellion was initially decided, the city of Nanjing has resumed its prosperity. Especially in this area, there is an endless stream of people burning incense and worshiping. The big girl and the little daughter-in-law who are rarely seen are here.

Duan Fei came all the way from the Confucian Temple, Guandi Temple, and Zhenwu Temple. Since he was temporarily recruited to Yingtian, he has not been so relaxed and free. He was rushing around, wishing he could whip his whip behind him. Duan Fei was lucky. He was in charge of daily patrols and security around Jiming Mountain. There are many temples and shops here, and the law and order are not bad. Duan Fei is not short of money, so I can feast on my mouth every day, and wash my eyes well by the way. There are still many beauties in the Ming Dynasty.

Yingtian is close to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Su-like clothing is the trend of this era. The girls are all dressed up, and they are not as rigid as in the legend. Give me a wink, although Duan Fei is dressed in ordinary civilian clothes and is not considered handsome, but with his unique temperament, he feels like he stands out from the crowd, so he will receive a wink or two from time to time.

Just as he was enjoying watching, a man rushed out of an inn by the roadside. Duan Fei couldn't dodge, and was bumped by that man, but the man who bumped him fell to the ground. Duan Fei's person turned out to be a girl in a commoner white dress.

A fat man in a gorgeous Ge robe rushed out from the Tianxia Inn behind Duan Fei, grabbed the woman on the ground by the collar and lifted her up.

Before Duan Fei understood what was going on, the fat man had already yelled at the woman: "Stinky girl, seeing that you are sick, my uncle kindly let you live in the best room on credit, and even invited a famous doctor to treat you. You owe me half a month's rent and medical expenses and you still want to slip away, I'm going to arrest you and bring you to the court!"

The woman looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, her complexion was sallow, her eyes were dull, her lips were scorched, and she looked sick. Her body was thin and white, and she was as weak as a willow in the hands of the fat man. No support.

Her weak pale hands wanted to break away the fat man's fat hand, panting and struggling to argue: "I just want to pawn something for money, don't wrong me!"

The fat man sneered viciously and said, "Being something? Just kidding, you don't have anything, even the package you have left behind, what else do you want to pawn it? Do you want to go to Qinhuai River to pawn yourself off? I No matter, you owe me so much money, I will drag you to the court!"

Many passers-by gathered around to watch, and the two clerks of the inn also came up together, and said to him, "That's right, you girl uses the most exquisite everything in our inn, but you don't have the money to pay the bill yourself, if the boss didn't kindly give you credit , and invited a doctor to treat you, you would have died by the side of the road a long time ago.”

The other said: "Girl, you have no relatives or reasons in Yingtian. If you enter the yamen, you will not be able to get out. Why don't you sign the contract obediently and be a maid for my boss for a few years to pay off the debt."

The girl was trembling with anger, she shouted angrily: "You are dreaming, let me go! I will get the money and pay you back, if you don't let me go, I will be impolite!"

The fat boss of the inn was not willing to let go. He changed hands and grabbed the girl's thin shoulders, turned his head and said to the onlookers: "Everyone has seen it, I didn't bully her. If you owe money, you have to pay it back. I am a maid, and everyone is a witness!"

Most of the onlookers left in a blink of an eye. Duan Fei watched coldly and found that many people dared not speak out. How could an innkeeper have such a great deterrent effect?

Of course, Duan Fei couldn't let this fat man bully a weak girl in public, he stretched out his hand to touch his waist, and when he was about to stand up, the girl kicked the fat boss's knee, the fat boss let go of his hand with a yell Holding her feet like a big spring, she jumped on one foot a few times, the girl turned and ran, the fat boss yelled, "Grab her, don't let her run away!"

The two guys reacted very quickly, the girl was weak and moved slowly, and they caught up with them within two steps, one grabbed her by the shoulder and the other grabbed her Xiu, Duan Fei yelled that his throat was already in his throat, When I was about to blurt it out, but when the two guys exclaimed at the same time, they let go of their hands as if they had been scalded. Although the girl was free, she fell powerlessly to the ground...

Duan Fei dashed over and hugged the girl by the waist just as her nose was about to touch the ground, this time he finally caught up.

"Hey...why did you faint...Wake up, girl, wake up..." Duan Fei half-kneeled and let the girl lie in his arms, and found that she was covered in cold sweat and unconscious, so Duan Fei tried From her breath and the pulse on the side of her neck, she felt that her breathing was rapid and her heartbeat was chaotic, but her life should not be in danger for the time being.

"Boy, don't meddle in your own business, give her to me quickly!" The fat boss shouted viciously.

Before Duan Fei could say anything, Shi Bin stepped forward and shouted majestically: "You are so bold, how dare you yell in front of our brother Fei, get out of here!"

The fat man was so angry that his whole body was trembling with fat, he laughed back in anger, stretched out his hand to stop the two guys, and shouted: "Two little bastards appeared out of nowhere, do you know that I am Liu Bi, the boss of the World Chamber of Commerce, known as Hun Jiang Long Shiya, my brother-in-law is Wang Xu, the commander of the North City Military Division! You better give me some insight!"

The Wucheng Bingma Division is in charge of arresting theft and maintaining law and order. Although they have different affiliations, they can barely be regarded as Duan Fei's superior at this special time. Although Duan Fei doesn't know much about it, he also knows that it is a powerful department. He became vigilant, but he sneered and said, "No one can buy and sell by force, or force her into prostitution. How much does this girl owe you? I'll pay it back for her!"

"You brat, don't be ashamed of your face. She owes me 500 taels of silver. Can you afford it? Get out of here immediately, or I'll beat you until your mother can't even recognize you!" Liu Bi stepped forward and pushed Kai Shibin is about to reach out and grab someone.

Several police officers brought by Duan Fei rushed forward and pushed him away. Duan Fei helped the girl to stand up, and said loudly: "This girl has lived with you for at least half a month, and the medical expenses are not worth it." How much silver, you say she owes you 500 taels, okay, you can show evidence, if you can’t calculate the 500 taels of silver, you are blackmailing! According to the law, you need a fifty-fifty rod, and you will wear the shackles as a public display!"

How could Liu Bi produce any evidence? Seeing more and more onlookers, he felt anxious. He trembled and let out a strange cry: "Evidence? What your uncle Liu said is the evidence. Come on, come on." Teach them a lesson and take them back!"

"Bold!" Duan Fei shouted sharply, took out his waist card and flashed it, and said sharply: "Assault officials in public, you want to rebel!"

The rebellion of King Ning had just subsided, and the whole country was arresting the rebels. At the time when people were panicking, Duan Fei's stern shout really calmed down everyone present, and Liu Bi stared blankly at the badge in Duan Fei's hand. , Remembering my brother-in-law's warning in my heart, I was confused for a while.

Duan Fei didn't give him time to think and react, and continued to speak loudly: "Liu Bi, the dragon of the river, pretends to be an official, and when the emperor dragon is in the sky, in broad daylight, he robs the women, extorts, and attacks the tolerance. I suspect that Liu Bi is suspected of treason and rebellion, come here, lock me back to the yamen for careful interrogation! Anyone who dares to cover up the arrest will be killed for the crime of treason!"

Several police officers rushed forward and twisted Liu Bi's arm. Liu Bi was so frightened that he was at a loss and did not dare to resist. At this moment, a man rushed out from the inn, and said with a smile, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! How many times?" Grandpa, please act slowly, the flood has washed into the Dragon King Temple, it is all a misunderstanding!"

Duan Fei snorted, and a few arresters who were familiar with his methods stopped and waited for the change.

The person who looked like the accountant laughed and said: "This official, this girl actually only owes us 50 taels of silver. For the official's sake, it's fine. My Dong Weng misheard the amount, and saw her leave quietly. I only chased him out to question him in a moment of anger, please forgive me, and this matter should not become a big deal."

The accountant quickly stuffed an ingot of gold into Duan Fei's hand, and said in a low voice: "Small kindness, it's not a respect, invite some officials to drink a pot of good tea, it's a small one to make amends for Dong Weng."

Duan Fei threw the ingot and said with a sneer: "Do you want to add another crime of public bribery? Hmph, I don't want your stinky money, and I don't want to make things big. This girl owes you money." Even if Liu Bi pays her medical expenses with this ingot, it seems that she still has luggage in your store?"

The accountant hurriedly called the clerk to take out a blue cloth bag, Duan Fei said a few more polite words, then picked up the girl and walked away.

Liu Bi finally came back to his senses, and angrily scolded the accountant: "You have done a good job. You see the officials as soon as you see them. Don't you be afraid of them! You can tell at a glance that they are wild boys from other places. They captured Beicheng soldiers and horses. No one will care if you die!"

The accountant pulled him to persuade him in a low voice: "Today is not the same as in the past. You better say a few words less, my boss. This guy doesn't know where he came from. He rebelled and killed each one. My boss should not cause trouble for Mr. Wang. It’s not stunning, but forget it…”

"You know what a fart..." Liu Bi was immediately discouraged when he reminded him, turned around and walked into the store, but kept mumbling: "That girl is in good shape... Qinhuai Siyan's skin is not as good as hers. water……"
