Chapter 286 Pursuit
The store clerk was taken aback by He Ruishan's actions, and was about to get angry, but seeing that He Ruishan was tall and not angry, he became timid at first, and hurriedly shouted to the guard behind He Ruishan : "Say it quickly! This is General He!"

Hearing the word general, the shop assistant was so frightened that his legs went limp, and it took him a long time to remember who they were going to ask.

Seeing that the store clerk was stunned, Chen Ling hurriedly said, "Pei Xin, about eighteen or nineteen years old, a little taller than me, and very handsome."

The store clerk thought for a while, and then said: "There is such a person, but he couldn't even pay for cigarettes yesterday, and he wanted to come here to enjoy, so we kicked him out."

Chen Ling quickly asked, "Where did he go?"

The store clerk curled his lips and said, "Zuo just lives in the South Alley. You can probably find out when you go there and ask."

Chen Ling didn't know where the South Alley was, and He Ruishan didn't know even though he had lived in the capital for a long time.

The yamen servant said to them: "The villain knows the location, but..."

Chen Ling hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

The yamen servant said: "It's nothing, it's just that there are mixed fish and dragons there, and most of them live with sneaky, cheating and low-level people. It's the most chaotic place in the capital."

Chen Ling and He Ruishan looked at each other, both were shocked, how could Pei Xin live there?
Why didn't he go home if he was in short supply?

Anyway, since they had news about Pei Xin, they still had to go there.

The three of them headed towards the south alley again.

The South Alley is indeed the dirtiest place in the capital.

Chen Ling didn't expect that such a prosperous and prosperous capital city would have such a dirty place.

Dirty and dilapidated shacks are everywhere, and garbage littered everywhere.

Occasionally, there is an open space full of slender poles, hanging tattered clothes whose colors have long been unclear.

Chen Ling and He Ruishan couldn't help feeling heavy, they frowned and looked around, hoping to see Pei Xin here.

After walking around, except for some people with bad eyes looking at them hostilely, there was no sign of Pei Xin.

Seeing that this was not the way to go, Chen Ling found an older woman and asked, "Auntie, is there a young man named Pei Xin here? He looks eighteen or nineteen years old, taller than me, and is pretty and handsome." The one is a scholar. I am his younger brother, and I am here to find him."

Perhaps because of Chen Ling's handsome appearance and gentle speech, the woman looked at him with a much more kind gaze, pointed to a dilapidated low eaves house on the right and said, "I don't know if you are talking about that young man , but there is a newcomer living in that room, and his age is about the same as what you said, go and see for yourself."

After that, he turned around and entered the house again.

Chen Ling nodded towards He Ruishan, and walked towards the house pointed by the woman.

The light in the room was dim, and it was hard to see if there was anyone inside. He Ruishan nodded at the yamen servant, and the yamen servant stepped forward and knocked on the door vigorously, but no one answered the door after a long pause.

He Ruishan's gaze sank, "Break the door."

The yamen servant was also straightforward, and kicked open the door that was not very strong. Chen Ling rushed in first, and saw only a dilapidated bed, a table and a stool in the small dilapidated house. something else.

There was a black and shabby quilt rolled up on the bed, but looking around the whole room, there was no one there.

"Not here." Chen Ling was a little disappointed.

He Ruishan looked at the sky, it was already unitary hour, and the sky would be completely dark within an hour, even if it was a kennel, that person would rush back to sleep at night.

So He Ruishan said in a deep voice: "Since we can't find it, let's wait here!"

Such a dilapidated house doesn't smell very good. Although Chen Ling frowned, she still found a place to sit down and wait quietly.

He Ruishan asked the yamen servant to leave first, and he found a place to sit down.

Sitting bored, the two chatted about each other's recent life, and the sky darkened unknowingly.

Suddenly there was a person looking into the room with his head poking his head, He Ruishan saw it with sharp eyes, jumped up and grabbed the person in his hand.

That person wailed and cried out, but it wasn't Pei Xin.

He Ruishan shouted: "Who are you? What are you sneaking around the door looking at?"

That man was a short man in his twenties, with a deer-headed mouse-like face and a mean look. After He Ruishan asked him, he hurriedly said, "Hero, please forgive me! The kid in this family owes me two taels of silver for several days and has not paid it back." , I just passed by here, saw the door open, thought it was him coming back, so I wanted to come in and ask for a debt."

Chen Ling asked: "The person who lives here is called Pei Xin? He is less than twenty years old, and he looks like a scholar?"

The man said: "I don't know if he is a scholar. Would a scholar live in a place like ours? But it is indeed a young man named Pei Xin."

He Ruishan took out two taels of silver from his bosom, and shook it in front of the man's eyes, and the man's eyes suddenly showed a hint of surprise.

He Ruishan didn't give him the money directly, but said: "I'll ask you one last question, as long as you tell the truth, the money is yours, and you are not allowed to ask Pei Xin for debts in the future."

The man was overjoyed, nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, you just keep asking questions."

He Ruishan said: "Do you know why Pei Xin lives here? Why does he want to borrow your money?"

The man had nothing to hide, so he said: "That Pei Xincheng hangs out with a few ignorant young masters every day, and goes to Fushouju to smoke every day. If you want to say that you are rich, you can take two puffs, but I don't know. Why, those friends of his disappeared within a day. Then Pei Xin had no money, so he had to move to this place, but living in such a place, he still couldn't forget to go to the smokehouse to smoke. After a few times, he was so poor that he only had a suit of clothes left, so he borrowed two taels of silver from me, and it took four or five days, and he still didn’t pay it back.”

Pei Xin was so down and out, and Chen Ling's heart was also heavy. He Ruishan saw that the man's words did not seem to be fake, so he threw the two taels of silver into his arms and said, "Okay, let's go."

The man narrowed his smiling eyes, agreed, and disappeared in an instant.

He Ruishan sighed deeply, sat down again, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't study well at a young age, why go to some smoking den all the time? It's depraved!"

Chen Ling frowned and said: "I seem to have found such a smoke den in Yunzhou, but I don't pay much attention to it. What is the magic power of this smoke den? It can make people so obsessed?"

As soon as the words fell, they suddenly heard someone stumbling in from outside, and fell to the ground as soon as they stepped into the room.
