The area around Jiming Mountain in Yingtianfu (Nanjing) is a lively place. There are many temples at the foot of Jiming Mountain. Although the rebellion has begun, the city of Nanjing has restored its prosperity. Especially in this area, there is an endless stream of people burning incense and worshiping. It is very popular elsewhere.
The eldest daughter and daughter-in-law who are rarely seen are here in a hurry.
Duan Fei patrolled all the way from the Confucian Temple, Guandi Temple, and Zhenwu Temple. Ever since he was temporarily transferred to Yingtian, he was not so relaxed and free. Emperor Zhengde came to Yingtian with his dragon, and the whole Yingtian Mansion did not dare to neglect, and the people below him
He was rushing around and wanted to be whipped behind him. Duan Fei was very lucky. He was responsible for the daily patrol security in the Jiming Mountain area. There were many temples and shops here, and the public security was not bad. Duan Fei was not short of money, so
I had a good meal every day and washed my eyes properly. There were still many beauties in the Ming Dynasty.
Yingtian is close to Suzhou and Hangzhou. Suzhou-style clothing is the trend of the era. The girls are all dressed up in a flashy way, and they are not as restrained as the legend says. They invite friends and swagger by, and they will do the same if there is a handsome man who likes them.
When Duan Fei was given a wink, although he was not handsome in ordinary clothes, he stood out among the crowd due to his unique temperament, so he would receive one or two winks from time to time.
Just as he was looking happily, a man suddenly rushed out of an inn on the roadside. Duan Fei couldn't dodge and was knocked staggering by the man. The man who hit him rolled to the ground, and a scream came from the collision.
The person Duan Fei met turned out to be a girl in civilian clothes and a white skirt.
A fat man in a gorgeous Ge robe strode out from the Tianxia Inn behind Duan Fei, grabbed the woman on the ground by her collar and lifted her up.
Before Duan Fei could figure out what was going on, the fat man had already shouted at the woman: "Smelly girl, when I saw you were sick, I was kind enough to let you live in the best apartment on credit, and also invited famous doctors to treat you. You
You owe me half a month's rent and medical expenses and you still want to run away. I'm going to arrest you and go to the official!"
The woman looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a sallow complexion, dull eyes, and withered lips, giving her a sickly look. Her figure 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 open the fat man's hands, and she gasped and argued with difficulty: "I just want to pawn something for money, don't accuse me wrongly!"
The fat man sneered evilly and said: "Pawning it as a pawn? What a joke, you have nothing to offer, and you have even left the package you carry with you, so what else can you pawn it off with? Do you want to pawn yourself off by going to the Qinhuai River? I
No matter, you owe me so much money, I will drag you to see the official!"
Many passers-by gathered around to watch, and two waiters from the inn also came up and helped: "That's right, you girl uses the most exquisite everything in our inn, but you don't have the money to pay the bill. If the boss hadn't been kind enough to give you credit,
, and invited a doctor to treat you, but you would have died on the roadside long ago."
Another said: "Girl, you have no relatives or friends in Yingtian. If you enter the Yamen, you won't be able to get out. You might as well sign the contract and work as a maid for my boss for a few years to pay off the debt."
The girl was so angry that she shouted angrily: "You are dreaming, let me go! I will get the money to pay you back. If you don't let me go, I won't be polite!"
The fat owner of the inn was not willing to let go. He grabbed the girl's thin shoulders with his hand, turned to the onlookers and said: "Everyone saw it. I didn't bully her. If you owe money, you have to pay it back. If you don't have the money, you have to mortgage it."
I am a maid, and everyone is a witness!"
Most of the onlookers left in a blink of an eye. Duan Fei looked on coldly and realized that many people dared not speak out. How could an innkeeper have such a strong deterrent?
Of course Duan Fei couldn't let this fat man bully a weak woman in public. He reached for his waist and was about to step forward when the girl flew up and kicked the fat boss on the knee. The fat boss let go of his hand with a loud cry.
Holding her feet and bouncing a few times on one foot like a big spring, the girl turned around and ran away. The fat boss yelled: "Catch her, don't let her run away!"
The two guys reacted very quickly. The girl was weak and moved slowly. They caught up with her before she could even take two steps. One grabbed her shoulders and the other grabbed her hips. Duan Fei let out a loud shout that was already stuck in his throat.
When he was about to blurt out, he heard the two guys exclaim at the same time, and let go of their hands as if they were burned. Although the girl was free, she fell weakly to the ground...
Duan Fei rushed over and hugged the girl's waist just as her nose was about to touch the ground. This time he finally caught up.
"Hey... Why are you fainting... Wake up, girl, wake up..." Duan Fei knelt down and let the girl lie in his arms. He found that she was covered in cold sweat and was unconscious. Duan Fei tried
Her breathing and pulse on the side of her neck showed her breathing was rapid and her heartbeat was erratic, but her life was not in danger for the time being.
"Boy, stop meddling in other people's business and leave her to me!" the fat boss yelled viciously.
Before Duan Fei could say anything, Shi Bin stepped forward and shouted majestically: "You are so brave, 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. He laughed angrily, 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 big boss of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, known as Hun Jiang?"
"Long Ye, my brother-in-law is Wang Xu, the commander of the Beicheng Army and Horses Division! You'd better give me some clues!"
The Wucheng Military and Horse Department is responsible for arresting theft and maintaining public security. Although they belong to different departments, they can still be regarded as Duan Fei's superiors at this special time. Although Duan Fei doesn't know much about it, he also knows that it is a powerful department. In his heart
He became vigilant, but sneered: "No one can buy or sell by force, or force a good girl into prostitution. How much does this girl owe you? I will pay it back for her!"
"You brat, you are so shameless. She owes me five hundred taels of silver. Can you afford it? If you are wise, get out of here right now, or I will beat you until your mother can't even recognize you!" Liu Bi stepped forward.
If you push Shi Bin away, you will reach out to grab him.
Several detectives brought by Duan Fei rushed forward and pushed him away. Duan Fei helped the girl stand up and said loudly: "This girl has been living with you for at least half a month, and she doesn't even have to pay for her medical expenses."
How much money is it? You said she owes you five hundred taels. Well, you can provide evidence. If you can't calculate the five hundred taels of silver, you are blackmailing! According to the law, the rod must be fifty and the man must wear a yoke to show it to the public!"
How could Liu Bi get the evidence? Seeing more and more onlookers, he became anxious. He trembled his muscles and shouted strangely: "Evidence? What your uncle Liu said is the evidence. Someone, come on,
Teach them a lesson and take them back!"
"Bold!" Duan Fei shouted sharply, took out his waist card, flashed it, and said sternly: "Attack an official in public, you want to rebel!"
The rebellion of King Ning had just subsided, and the whole country was looking for the rebels. It was when people were panicking. Duan Fei's sharp shout really calmed everyone present. Liu Bi stared blankly at the waist card in Duan Fei's hand.
, I remembered my brother-in-law’s warning and was confused for a moment.
Duan Fei didn't give him time to think about his reaction, and continued loudly: "Liu Bi, the dragon of the river, pretended to be an official relative, and when the emperor's dragon was riding in the sky, in broad daylight, he robbed the women of the people, extorted money, and attacked the official. I
I suspect Liu Bi of treason and rebellion. Come here, lock me back to the Yamen and interrogate carefully! Anyone who dares to cover up those arrested will be killed for treason!"
Several detectives swarmed up and twisted Liu Bi's arm. Liu Bi was so frightened that he did not dare to resist. At this time, a man hurriedly ran out of the inn and said with a smile: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! What a misunderstanding!
Sir, please slow down, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple, it’s all a misunderstanding!”
Duan Fei snorted, and several agents who were familiar with his methods stopped and waited to see what happened.
The man who looked like a bookkeeper smiled and said: "My lord, this girl actually only owes us fifty taels of silver. For the sake of my lord, let it go. My boss misheard the amount and saw her leaving quietly."
, I was angry for a while and chased him out to question him, asking the official to forgive me and not to make this matter a big deal."
Mr. Accountant quickly stuffed an ingot of gold into Duan Fei's hand and said in a low voice: "It's a small thought, but it's not respectful. I'll invite some of the officials to have a pot of good tea, so I can make amends for Dong Weng."
Duan Fei threw the ingot away and sneered: "Do you want to add another crime of public bribery? Huh, I don't want your dirty money, and I don't want to make the matter bigger. This girl owes you money."
With this ingot of gold, even if Liu Bi pays her medical expenses, she still seems to have luggage in your store?"
The cashier hurriedly asked the waiter to take out a blue cloth bag. Duan Fei said a few more words, then picked up the girl and walked away.
Liu Bi finally came to his senses and angrily scolded the accountant: "What a good thing you did. You met with the officials when you saw them. Why are you afraid of them? You can tell at a glance that they are wild boys from out of town. They were captured by Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division."
No one will care about it even if it’s evil!”
The accountant pulled him and persuaded him in a low voice: "Today is different from the past. My boss, you'd better say a few words. This guy doesn't know his background. He rebelled and beheaded one after another. My boss, it's better not to cause trouble for Mr. Wang. The woman also
It’s not a stunning beauty, let’s forget it…”
"You know nothing..." Liu Bi was immediately discouraged after being reminded by him. He turned around and walked towards the store, but kept mumbling: "That girl has a good figure... none of Qinhuai's four beauties have skin as good as hers."
