Chapter 187 284~285 The clouds are treacherous and extremely evil
After a moment.
A group of three people dressed in casual clothes came to the so-called Yulin Street.
Yulin Street is located in the bustling area of the inner city, not too far from Wuhan City.
Because of Deshantang's reputation during this period, Chen Zheng casually inquired and found the specific address.
There were people coming and going on the street, and I saw that at the end of the street, there was a large open door in front of the door.
On the open space, several young men with vegetables divided their work and collaborated, either cleaning, washing clothes and drying, or weaving bamboo baskets, drying them in full swing;
In addition, there were adult guys shouting to fight out bags of food from the main hall, then pushing onto the cart, not knowing where to send it to.
"Sir, Deshantang is said to have to provide porridge and relief in various parts of the outer city every day, and these foods should be used for porridge."
Chen Zheng nodded and observed for a while:
"Go around to inquire. The Shantang has been here for more than two months. The neighbors around should have contacted a lot and go to them to find out the situation."
"yes!"
Changqing Chai Tiefeng and the other two went on a separate way to find targets along the street and start inquiring about them.
Chen Zheng was not idle either. He walked for a while and came to a stall selling sugar cakes on the street, bought a sugar cake, and started chatting.
"Master, do you ask Deshantang?"
The vendor is a very talkative old man. After Chen Zheng asked, he started talking:
"Oh, it's amazing to talk about this Deshan Hall. The boss of Baiyulou is really a great charity with a heart of a Bodhisattva. The good hall he opened has to put porridge in the outer city once a day, but he has survived many beggars.
You also know that rich men will only think of scraping oil from poor people, and use food to provide relief in this way, which is as rare as a living Buddha.”
As the old man chattered, Chen Zheng quickly gained a general understanding of this Deshantang and couldn't help but ask:
"Who is the boss of Baiyulou?"
The old man smiled:
"The boss of Baiyulou has been here several times, and the old man was fortunate to see him once. The boss was a woman with a beautiful appearance and was as good as a man. I don't know whose ancestral grave could emit smoke and get married to such a strange woman."
woman
Ji Xunyi also mentioned this information, and Chen Zheng asked a few more questions, but what the other party knew was a rough idea and there was no special information.
After a while, Chang Qing and others returned. Chen Zheng walked aside and listened to the report of the two:
"Sir, this Deshan Hall is indeed opened by the boss of Baiyulou."
"The owner of Baiyulou is called Bai Ruyan. The Baiyulou that operates in the north of the city has been operating for several years. In the past two months, this Deshan Hall has to spend hundreds of kilograms of grain every day and distributes porridge in different parts of the outer city. Bai Ruyan often comes out to provide relief in person, and now it is like being in the shed in the west of the city."
"And it is said that some clever beggars and refugees will be left to work in the Shantang. Therefore, in the slums in the outer city, this Bai Ruyan has become a Bodhisattva-like existence."
It sounded like nothing was wrong. Chen Zheng browed slightly, and then saw a few teenagers at the door of Shantang not far away who had finished their work and started to track and fight. He immediately said:
"The ones at the door should be the helpers recruited by Deshantang from the beggar refugees? Go and call two and ask about the situation."
Although Changqing was not sure about it, he did as he did. He quickly stepped forward and waved to the two young men who were rushing to the streets here to follow him:
"Little kid, are you from Deshantang?"
When the two teenagers saw a stranger asking questions, they were stunned and nodded with vigilance and alertness.
Changqing pretended to be kind and took out a few copper zhu from his arms and shook it:
"Come here, I have something to ask you. If you have a good answer, I will buy meat for you."
Even if you work in Shantang, eating meat is a luxury. The two young men who are only twelve or twelve years old lit up their eyes and said hesitantly:
"What do you want to ask?"
Chang Qing signaled and led the sweeping boy to Chen Zheng at the corner of the street: "Boss Chen, please ask."
The two teenagers were barely dressed neatly, with patches on them, and there were still a lot of unhealed frostbite on their hands. Looking at themselves and others timidly, Chen Zhengping asked:
"May I have your name?"
Perhaps it was the temptation of eating meat, the two teenagers said boldly:
"My name is Huzi."
"My name is Gouwa."
"Are you new helpers from Deshantang?"
"Yes, Sister Bai is a great charity. After my mother left, I could only beg for food on the street. Last month, when Sister Bai was serving porridge, she saw that I was pitiful and brought me here."
"Who is Sister Bai?"
"Uh, Sister Bai is Sister Bai, and it seems that she has opened Shantang."
"You know, how many helpers are recruited in this kind of charity hall like you?"
Hu Zi obviously hadn't learned arithmetic. He pinched his fingers for a long time before saying, "Maybe there are thirty or forty?"
But Gouwa said, "More than forty, there may be sixty or seventy."
"so much?"
Chen Zheng raised his eyebrows:
"Everything is like you, was a beggar before?"
Hu Zi scratched his head:
"It's almost the same. There are also a few adults. Anyway, there are beggars in every neighborhood. I know several of them. Master, what are you doing?"
"A young man my friend knew was also recruited to Shantang, but he disappeared inexplicably when he was working, so I'll help me inquire."
Ji Xunyi has already told the name and even the morphological characteristics of the missing beggar. Chen Zheng said:
"There is one called Alai, who is neither tall nor short, one missing front teeth and one missing scalp. Do you two know each other?"
The dogba immediately said:
"I know, I know him, and I have said a few words to him!"
"But I have never seen him again since the previous few days, and I don't know what's going on."
Chen Zheng narrowed his eyes:
"As there any situation like this, someone suddenly stopped coming, is there any in the Shantang?"
The two teenagers looked at each other and said uncertainly:
"It seems, no."
Those who can grow up to such a big age by mercy on the street are often very clever and premature. They felt something was wrong from Chen Zheng's question and were immediately worried.
The two teenagers had very little knowledge. Chen Zheng signaled and asked Changqing to hand over the copper zhu to the two of them. He gave him a few more silver zhu, and then told him:
"You keep the money yourself. Just ask you what you asked just now as if it hadn't happened. No one will reveal it after returning to Shantang. Do you understand?"
After getting so much money at once, the two teenagers were surprised and frightened:
"Thank you, thank you."
"We will never say it out!"
After collecting the money, the two of them ran away and returned to Shantang.
Evergreen can hear the taste at this moment:
"Sir, do you suspect there is something wrong with this good hall?"
"Is there any tricky thing? I still need to verify it."
Chen Zheng pondered:
"You guys say that Bai Ruyan might be giving porridge outside today?"
Chai Tiefeng nodded:
"I heard that's right, do you want to go and have a look?"
"certainly."
Chen Zheng's eyes shining:
"I always have to go and see if this person is a human or a ghost."
There is nothing else to say.
After setting up the itinerary, Changqing and the others immediately inquired, and then went straight to the Wushang Street in the west of the city.
The so-called shed is actually a slum in the outer city.
The roads here are broken and sewage flowing. There are people with pale faces and skinny faces, even beggars and refugees. There are sometimes thin dead bodies on the roadside.
Lingqiu County has nearly one million people, and only a small part of them can cover their bodies and food and fill their stomachs. A large number of poor people in the outer city have no land to plant. Most of them are hungry and full, and their lives are difficult, and a large number of beggars have also been bred.
In this case, your belly cannot fill your body, let alone read and learn to change your destiny.
The inner city and the outer city are completely two worlds.
When Chen Zheng and the other three inquired all the way and found the place where Deshantang gave the porridge, it was already crowded and uninterrupted.
The porridge was put on a simple open space and a simple porridge shed was built. Hundreds of poor people and even beggars around him were waving the broken bowl in their hands excitedly.
The noise was shaking the sky, and several powerful men from Kong Wu maintained order in front of the porridge shop. In the shop, there was a woman in white who was commanding and personally served bowls of porridge for those who were queuing up.
Every person who received the porridge was grateful and grateful.
Even though they were more than ten feet apart, Chen Zheng could see that the woman was about thirty years old and was quite beautiful, and she frowned:
"That's the boss of Bai Yulou, Bai Ruyan?"
Chang Qing and Chai Tiefeng had never seen each other before, so he said unsure:
"Probably?"
"He is so young, he seems to have martial arts skills."
After the crowd, Chen Zheng stared at:
"In this world, an ordinary woman cannot run such a large restaurant without being coveted. It is natural that she has some skills. The key is that she has no other background."
Changqing said very well: "Sir, give us two days, and we will definitely find out the details of this person!"
Chen Zheng nodded:
"Okay, leave this to you. In addition, check for me, how many people were recruited into the Good Hall? Is there anyone else missing among these people inexplicably? But remember not to alert the enemy."
Changqing and the others immediately agreed in unison:
"yes!"
It's night in a blink of an eye.
It's late at night and people are quiet.
There are several large shops in the Shantang, most of which are called to help, and the homeless beggars sleep here.
With a loud snoring, there were nearly a dozen people in the room, Hu Zi and Gou Wa were lying in the corner, one slept soundly and the other tossed and turned.
It seemed that he had finally made up some decision. The dog kid, who had been rolling and not falling asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and pushed the tiger next to him.
After shaking for a while, Hu Zi woke up. Gouwa immediately made a gesture of banning voice, and then tiptoed on his clothes and jumped out of bed.
Huzi thought that Gouwa woke him up to pee together, so he could only mutter a few words reluctantly, then put on his clothes and walked out of the house and headed towards the thatched cottage.
The night wind in early spring was still cold, and the tiger came out shuddered and complained:
"Gouwa, you are so brave on weekdays. You have to call me if you urinate quickly?"
"Sound light!"
However, Gouwa is different from before. She covers Huzi's mouth nervously, and at the same time, she doesn't know where to take out a small package and put it on her back:
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll pack all your stuff for you. Let's leave here tonight!"
"ah!?"
Hu Zi was startled:
"Are you crazy? You stay here well, have work and food, and maybe you can get the appreciation of Sister Bai and Uncle Hai. If you practice martial arts, why do you want to leave? It's because of the three people of unknown origin in the morning who asked questions?"
The young but weathered face showed an uneasy look on his face:
"Yes. Those three people are obviously masters from the government. Can't you tell them?
I came more than a month earlier than you, and I often saw a lot of helpers around me. I thought about it carefully and found that there were many beggars like us who seemed to have never appeared again recently.
Uncle Hai said before that they were working in a restaurant, so I didn’t care, but I secretly went to the restaurant to see it this evening, and there were no one at all! Where did they go?"
Hu Zi is also a smart person, with fear on his face:
"Can this good hall be a human tooth nest?"
"I don't know, but I always feel that it's dangerous to stay."
The dogba said anxiously:
"Okay, now is not the time to talk nonsense. Let's leave this first!"
Hu Zi nodded in panic, and the two half-year-old boys looked around silently, then ran out of the big house and headed straight to the gate.
And then, a low voice suddenly sounded: "Where are you two going?"
A tall shadow appeared on their must-pass path like a ghost, looking at it with an indifferent look.
"Hai, Uncle Hai."
Facing the sudden appearance of the figure, the two teenagers turned pale, and the tiger baby was wise in a hurry and said:
"Actually, it's nothing. We two can't sleep. Everyone wants to come out and see the moon!"
The weird man called Uncle Hai smiled sarcastically:
"You are very brave and dare to lie in front of me?"
Before he finished speaking, he shouted!
He suddenly took action, and pinched the necks of the two boys with thunder, and directly pinched them to death.
At this time, two men arrived after hearing the movement and said in surprise: "Sir?"
"These two little things didn't know what they discovered, and they actually wanted to escape."
Xue Ruhai, the Blood Soul Dao protector, said lightly:
"Notify Bai Long and ask her to come to the backyard immediately."
Then, he carried two teenagers to the backyard where others were not allowed to step into at will on weekdays, and then through the secret passage in the woodshed, he came to an underground secret room.
After a while, the white dragon in white clothes arrived in a hurry. He immediately saw the two young men tied up and frowned and said, "Master Xue, what's going on?"
"These two boys seem to have discovered something and want to escape."
Xue Ruhai licked his lips and showed a fierce smile:
"You said, were they cut off alive, or were they using this little shriveled flesh to refine the alchemy now?"
