"Hey, miss, look, is that Mr. Lu?"

The Hancai girl walking in the crowd let out a light sigh.

Her eyes flickered as she looked at a young man in blue who was passing by Yanyu Bridge.

The woman whom Hancai called Miss also followed her gaze.

But I saw a young man walking slowly under the Yanliu Bridge.

The young man has a handsome figure, like a bamboo, and his black hair is like satin, tied up casually with a black belt.

At this moment, the young man's back was turned to the two of them. If he were an ordinary young man, Miss Hancai would not be able to catch his figure from the crowd.

But Lu Jing's background all looked refreshing and energetic, a bit mixed with aura, which was unforgettable.

The young lady squinted her eyes and took a look. Her eyes were like the bright moon in the night sky, with light shining out of them. Then she nodded and said, "It is indeed Mr. Lu."

"What a coincidence that I met him on the banks of the Zhutai River."

Miss Hancai had a smile on her face, but she didn't want to disturb Lu Jing.

The young lady also walked safely, and couldn't help but think of that night not long ago, when Lu Jing gave so many precious foods to those children, and even broke a jug of wine in order to distract the guards...

Su Weilang found that most of the children who entered the central area of ​​Taixuanjing were sent to the north of the city, where there was a mixture of fish and dragons. These helpless children were afraid of becoming vicious dogs under the hands of the big beggars, or even being beaten by the big beggars.

He mutilated his limbs and used them to beg on the streets.

If Lu Jing hadn't helped him that day, the lady in white might also have helped.

But what Lu Jing in front of him did that day was indeed beyond Miss Bai's expectations.

"I thought that most of the young people in the center of Taixuanjing are people who have never seen the suffering in the world. Even if they have good intentions, if they find these children, they will probably only contact the government..."

It was precisely because of what this young lady did that day when she saw Lu Jing.

When Lu Jing was seriously injured, she would help him to prevent him from fainting on the street.

"Master Lu... seems to have entered that charity hall?"

Just when the lady in white clothes was thinking about it, her tone became more joyful: "It's such a coincidence... But why did our neighbor go to Mr. Xu's charity hall?"

The lady in white's eyes moved slightly, but she didn't say much.

Miss Hancai stepped on her feet and looked around. She could vaguely see the entrance of the charity hall. There were many people coming and going.

Most of them are richly dressed young ladies, and occasionally there are civilians coming in and out.

The lady in white frowned.

Miss Hancai was also a little confused and said: "But since it is a charity hall that supports many children, old people, and poor people, why does it need to be established in this busy city? There are so many people coming in and out..."

"Just do it with the monarch before..."

"Hancai!" Miss Baiyi said softly: "Now that we are in Dafu, we cannot talk about many things. Otherwise, even if we hide under the Dafu Palace, there will be many disasters."

Hancai nodded and whispered: "I wonder if it has gotten better..."

The young lady snorted coldly: "The lives of common people are like feathers. Even his ministers and people very close to him will die because of his drunkenness. If he doesn't die... how can things get better there?"

Hancai nodded slightly without saying a word, and the two of them stood in the distance, looking at the charity hall.

At this time, Lu Jing had already entered the charity hall.

Stepping inside, Lu Jing frowned subconsciously.

But I saw that this place was extremely lively, and the furnishings in the charity hall were also quite exquisite. There were pavilions, pavilions, rockeries and flowing water. At a rough look, it looked like I had entered an attic.

Here, there are many young masters and young ladies who often come with their servants to chat with each other in groups of two or three.

Most of them were surrounded by children, and many of them had smiles on their faces, looking up at these noble family members in reverence.

As soon as Lu Jing walked out of the door, a boy came up, saluted Lu Jing and said, "Master, what kind of tea would you like to drink?"

Lu Jing was a little puzzled for a moment. He raised his head and asked, "I heard this is a charity hall...can you still drink tea?"

The young man smiled at Lu Jing and said: "This is Master Bai Yan's charity hall, but he is poor. Fortunately, many young masters and ladies from aristocratic families help him. As time goes by, more young masters and ladies come here to take care of these children.

stand up.

The reason why these poor people are alive is thanks to them."

Lu Jing was startled, but he didn't object to Xu Baiyan's actions. He really wanted to support people, so it wouldn't hurt to add some tricks.

only……

Lu Jing looked around and saw many young masters and young ladies chatting happily with each other. The children around him, aged five, six, seven or eight, were serving tea and pouring water.

This is nothing in the first place. In this world, if someone feeds you and makes you live, what does it mean if you serve tea and water?

Because of this, these children always have a lot of gratitude on their faces.

But those young masters and ladies didn't even look at these children.

"Sir, is this your first time here?"

As the boy walked, he pointed to a plaque on the side.

"If you have a kind heart, you can donate a few taels of silver. After all, these are poor people who need noble people like these young masters and ladies in the charity hall to survive.

If you donate too much, your name and surname can be engraved on a plaque in the distance, so that people in Xuandu will know your kindness."

Lu Jing's eyes fell on the plaque.

I saw many names and taboos engraved on them, and those who donated more money... turned out to be as much as a thousand taels of silver!

The names on the plaque are densely packed.

But on the top of the plaque, there are many words clearly engraved on it.

[We are both human beings, and Xu Baiyan cannot bear to see him starving, nor can he bear to see him end up on the streets. If you help me today, you are helping each other on the right path, and you will have merit for all generations!]

These lines of text are carved into the wood, and are plated with gold, making them shine brightly.

Lu Jing remained calm and asked: "There are so many kind-hearted young ladies and gentlemen in Xuandu?

With so much silver, I'm afraid I can support thousands of children at the same time."

The young man said with sincere admiration: "These poor people are very well fed and clothed. In addition, they often give porridge and help people in other prefectures. Therefore, the poor people in the charity hall at this time are not the same."

Not that much."

The young man answered like this, and seeing that Lu Jing was just asking and not taking out any silver coins, he said, "Master, please forgive me, but the space in the courtyard is limited, and we have to receive many young masters and ladies who have donated silver coins..."

Lu Jing took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the boy. A strange look flashed in his eyes and said, "I just came because of the reputation. You don't have to entertain me. I'll take a look around and then leave."

When the boy saw the ten taels of silver in Lu Jing's hand, he looked normal and said with a smile: "Since it is the master's wish, we accept it here, but we don't know the master's name?"

Lu Jing turned to look at the plaque and asked, "For ten taels of silver, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the plaque. It's just a thought. Why do I need to say my name?"

The young man looked apologetic in his eyes and said with a smile: "The young master and the young lady on the plaque are all very kind people. They have donated two to three hundred taels of silver at least... Please forgive me."

After he finished speaking, he saw someone coming in from a distance, so he went to entertain them again.

As Lu Jing walked in the charity hall, he thought of the letter sent by Prince Chong'an.

Princess Chong'an really valued Lu Jing very much and had already tried her best to investigate Huai Gang and Xu Baiyan.

If we only check Xuandu, I'm afraid we won't find anything.

But in just a few days, Princess Chongan conducted an in-depth investigation of the Huai Gang and discovered something...

Every few months, a very hidden Huai Gang ship docks in the three states of Chong'an. What's on the ship is not some strange cargo, but... many children!

When these children come to Chong'an, they will be sold separately in the three prefectures, sold to many rich people as domestic slaves, or they will become members of the Sophora Gang, a water ghost who throws his head and blood, a sophora leaf in the streets, and even more

Worse...

More importantly, the children who were sold as domestic slaves seemed to be very good at serving young ladies.

As for those water ghosts and locust leaves, their thinking is often numb and their speech is unclear.

Princess Chongan said in her letter...

"The ships are hidden, and the local officials have always ignored the Huai Gang ships. There are countless refugees in the world. If they didn't know the origin of the ships, and if they hadn't also checked Xu Baiyan, even the palace would not have guessed Xu Baiyan's Shantang and that Huaiyan."

Helpful relationship!"

"I sent two Yuanshen monks to check two of the three domestic slave children. Their memories are vague, but they vaguely remember Yanyu Bridge and Xu Baiyan vaguely."

Lu Jing looked around, feeling a lot of anger welling up in his heart.

"The children in this charity will change every few months...Xu Baiyan claimed that the charity spent a lot of money to find well-off families in various houses, gave them money, and asked them to raise them. People in the charity would often return to visit...

…”

"The young masters and ladies in Xuandu, whether it is for fame or for the kindness in their hearts, have donated so much money.

If he didn't establish these names and replace these children, how could he digest so much money?"

"And... selling these children can bring a lot of profits. This charity hall itself is a place to cultivate domestic slaves. Those five or six-year-old children have to serve tea and water to these young masters and ladies, and they have to learn how to

Just watch your words and emotions, there must be someone behind the scenes to teach them!"

Lu Jing took a deep breath.
