I have a book of salvation

Do not return to the mausoleum.

Shitou held a large piece of dried meat and gnawed it quietly.

——Since practicing Tiangang Boundless, his already terrifying appetite has skyrocketed again, and he has to eat eight or nine meals a day just to ward off hunger.

Beside him, a long table was filled with yellow paper and bamboo strips, as well as a small pile of cinnabar and a plate of ink.

Shitou just stared at his master, busy at the table, and finally made a paper man.

"Shitou, you stay here, I'll go out for a while." After finishing the paper figurine, Yu Chen told Shitou and went out.

Shitou didn't ask him what he was doing, he just agreed and then cleared away all the yellow paper and bamboo strips on the table.

Wait quietly on the mountain.

But as the night got darker and darker, it soon passed the second watch.

Shitou suddenly heard something moving outside, opened the door and went out to take a look.

To say that this honest man is indeed obedient, but only obedient.

——Although the funeral director had reminded Yu Chen before, he must not go out after the second watch at night.

But Yu Chen knew that humans and ghosts had different paths, and he didn't believe in ghosts at all.

What's more, even if it is really haunted, there is no guarantee that it is the ghost that scares him or he that scares the ghost!

So it went in through the left ear and out through the right ear, so I didn’t take it seriously.

Naturally, I didn’t remind Shitou specifically.

Since Yu Chen didn't say anything, Shi Tou didn't know either.

Just at midnight, at midnight, I went out.

Then, only a cry of "Ghost" was heard, and then there was no more sound.

In the capital city.

Yu Chen first went to the home of Zhao Dayan, the tyrant of Qingwa Street.

——This man is also the only one Ma Laizi recognizes among the three people who killed his horse that he met during his revolving door.

At Zhao Dayan's house, several scoundrels were drinking and playing cards.

Yu Chen didn't find Zhao Dayan, but he easily got Zhao Dayan's whereabouts from those rogues.

Let’s talk about Zhao Dayan. He was born in poverty, but he was brave and fierce. He soon became entangled with a bunch of thugs on Qingwa Street and established an underground gang. He usually bullied men and women and was domineering.

A lot of money was gathered.

Just when he was complacent, he offended someone with a word and was blinded in one eye, leaving him unable to fight back.

From that moment Zhao Dayan understood.

He may be considered a figure in Qingwa Street, bullying those honest and humble people.

But after leaving Cheong Wa Street, it’s nothing!

So Zhao Dayan began to build relationships with Zai and make connections.

And those big shots are as smart as ghosts. Not to mention building good relationships, people like them can't even see their face on weekdays.

But this is not a problem for Zhao Dayan.

If you can't make friends with those big shots, you can make friends with their children!

Those dandy boys who are eating, drinking and having fun are so careless, so close!

No, under Zhao Da's eyes and intentions, he hooked up with Tang Zhe, the son of Tang Hongzhou, the boss of Ji'anfang.

The capital city is divided into three parts: inner city, outer city, and imperial city. The outer city is divided into four square cities: Suzaku, Xuanwu, Qinglong, and White Tiger. Each city has countless streets and alleys. It would be too burdensome if it were managed by the imperial court.

Therefore, during the reign of the late emperor, there was a position without any official rank—the head of the workshop, also known as the head of the workshop.

In the four outer cities, ten streets constitute one square, and the chief square is the head of these ten streets. He is appointed by the government and recommended by the neighbors. Although he has no official rank, he is still a big shot among ordinary people.

Qingwa Street is the most remote street in Ji'anfang.

Zhao Dayan is quite capable of getting involved with the son of the president.

All in all, during this period, Zhao Dayan did nothing but took Tang Zhe to eat, drink and have fun all day long.

Tang Zhe liked hunting, so they would go out to the mountains to shoot wild animals during the day and roast them on the spot. Tang Zhe liked drinking and dancing, so Zhao Dayan took him on the Luoshui flower boat and invited him to drink and listen to music.

And tonight, it's still the same.

After Zhao Dayan came back for a tour in the afternoon, he took the money and went out. He heard that he was going to listen to music on the flower boat.

He also revealed to his brothers that Tang Zhe had convinced his father to give him a big job!

So these brothers are staying at home, waiting for his good news!

After getting the news, Yu Chen turned around and went to Luoshui.

Luoshui is a grand scene in the capital. Known as the river that never sleeps, Luoshui is always brightly lit even in the middle of the night.

The lights on the flower boats of different sizes are like stars and the bright moon. They are bright, colorful and lively!

The melodious sound of the piano and harp echoed endlessly from the boat. Through the boat window, you could still see the enchanting and seductive dancing of the thin gauze dancers inside!

Yu Chen stood on the shore, paper cranes flying in his hands and hovering high in the sky.

You can have a panoramic view of this area of ​​Luoshui tributaries and hundreds of flower boats.

On the deck, people drinking and having fun, mingling with each other, came into view one by one.

I searched for half an hour.

The birds in the sky disappeared, and Yu Chen opened his eyes on the ground.

--found it.

At this moment, there is a flower boat on the deck.

In front of the carved round wooden table, there are several young gentlemen surrounding them. They are wearing gold, silver, and luxurious robes. At first glance, they belong to a wealthy family.

Zhao Dayan and several middle-aged men who looked like servants were waiting aside.

Looking at Tang Zhe, the son of the president of Ji'anfang, who was blushing from drinking and talking loudly among the crowd, Zhao Dayan was really happy in his heart.

During this time, he and Tang Zhe had become close, and this ignorant young master regarded him as his half-brother.

Zhao Dayan knew that from now on, with Tang Zhe's support, he would no longer have to live in trepidation in Ji'anfang.

Tang Zhe, who was at the wine table, didn't care much about what Zhao Dayan was thinking. While admiring the graceful dancing of the dancers in front of him, he drank a sip of strong wine and bragged about it.

"Let me tell you, what do you think I hunted today?"

"Lion? Tiger? Bah! I'm tired of hunting those. I don't even bother to look twice before them!"

"It's a war horse!"

"I heard that it was a war horse that had been on the battlefield in Mobei! The taste and texture of the meat can be described in one word - absolutely amazing!"

"Where else could it be? It's on the Dahuang Mountain! Zhao Dayan took me there. It's really a good place for hunting. I'll take you guys to play together next time!"

"..."

At the wine table, everyone was chatting.

Obviously, Tang Zhe was quite proud of the fact that he hunted Lame's horse during the day.

"That's right! That war horse seems to belong to a lame man! The lame man is dressed in rags, has crooked eyebrows, and is unkempt. It's not a good thing at first glance!"

"After we hunted his horse, he still chased us to kill it!"

"It's a pity that his horse is gone. He chased us for ten miles, but he couldn't catch up with us!"

"It's so much fun!"

"..."

As he said this, he seemed to remember what happened on Dahuang Mountain during the day, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Obviously, he didn't care that the lame horse died.

Not to mention whether anyone cared about the death of an old man from Qingwa Street. Even if he did, it was the lame old man who chased them with a sickle first. He was acting in self-defense wherever he went.

As for the killing of horses.

——This capital city has nothing to do with it. Human life is worthless, let alone a horse?

That's why Tang Zhe could boast confidently and boldly.

Unexpectedly, there was a pair of eyes in the darkness, staring at them.

After another two quarters of an hour, Tang Zhe was tired of talking and drank a little too much wine.

His eyes became blurred.

He looked at the girls dancing on the stage. He didn't know if it was because of drinking, but he felt his body getting hot.

He stood up, staggered forward, pulled one of the most beautiful girls and walked into the cabin.

The girl's expression changed and her face turned pale. She looked at Tang Zhe who was so drunk that she felt extremely unwilling to do so.

It's not like erecting archways or anything like that, after all, that's what she does herself.

It's just that there are rumors in the market that Mr. Tang Zhe is not very good at that, but he is good at it and loves to play.

He always used some weird tricks, which made the girls who served him complain endlessly.

And the more painful these girls were, the more excited he became.

All in all, it's quite perverted.

I heard that even though I could earn a lot of money by serving him for one night, I would have to stay in bed for ten days and a half before I could get out of bed.

But this dancer is also from Ji'anfang, so why doesn't she know Tang Zhe's identity?

She didn't dare to resist at all, so she could only let Tang Zhe hold her and walk into the cabin.

There were tears in my eyes, and I couldn't tell the pain.

The dancers on the side were both happy and pitiful.

On the other side, the other young masters understood it and smiled without saying a word.

Zhao Dayan also understood. As the person who rented this flower boat, he waved his hand, "Keep playing music, keep dancing!"

Immediately, on the flower boat, there were waves of harps and flutes, melodious flutes, fine wine, and charming shadows, just like the drunken life and death, the wine pool and the meat forest.

But what no one expected was that just when Tang Zhe was about to step into the cabin with the woman in his arms.

Something happened.

The wind is howling!

A strong wind blew from nowhere and blew out all the lights on the flower boat in an instant!

into darkness.

"Huh? It's such a strong wind!"

"Why can't I see it all of a sudden?"

"Didn't the astronomical and astronomical department say that there will be no wind or rain tonight?"

"..."

Shouts of exclamation echoed on the flower boat.

After the waiter on the flower boat hurriedly relit the lamps, the light returned to the upper part of the flower boat.

Everyone looked around in false alarm.

One of the young men was about to complain, but his eyes suddenly widened!

Look at the entrance to the cabin. The dancer is still there, standing there in shock.

But Tang Zhe, who was hugging her, had disappeared.

They looked around again and found that not only Tang Zhe, but also Zhao Dayan and the servant who personally protected Tang Zhe, who had actually organized the situation, were missing!

"Could it be...could it be blown away by the wind?"

The sudden change made everyone sober.

One of the young men spoke slowly,

But they also knew that if this was a demonic wind that could blow away people out of thin air, the ship would probably have been capsized long ago.

But at this moment, apart from the candle being extinguished, Tang Zhe, Tang Zhe's servants, and Zhao Dayan were missing!

There is only one possibility.

It's not a celestial change, but... man-made!
