After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.
Chapter 173: Exploring the Dark Alley Again
However, Wuxi Mountain had been crossed so many times when searching for Miss Yin, and the road leading out of the city and into the mountain must have been almost worn out. If there were any suspicious wheel tracks, they would have been discovered long ago.
Xu Chengjin, who had come over at some point, leaned against a wooden pole and waved his favorite fan in the late autumn night, and said, "I heard that since Miss Yin disappeared, the wife of the Yin family has been sitting on the steps in front of the government office and howling every day. She goes there once a day and sits there all day. The government office takes care of her food and drink, so everyone knows about it... If I were the criminal, I should have been hiding in my lair for the past few days and waiting for this storm to pass... Who would have thought that they kidnapped someone even bigger."
"Leaving the city and returning to the nest, there are soldiers all along the way, and it is hard to predict whether it will be a blessing or a disaster. In this case..."
Yuan Ge looked up suddenly, "Still in the city!"
But there were many soldiers in the city, and the government office and the Northern Pacification Office were almost all out. Just before noon today, the servants of the Yin family were still searching the streets with sticks. If they were in the city, where could they hide...
The three of them looked at each other, the dusk was falling, and they all thought of the other person -
"Dark alley!"
One of them wanted to pick up martial arts again after his rebirth, but he gave up on it because he lived a comfortable life for too long; one of them knew a little bit of martial arts but it was totally not good enough; and there was another one who could climb up the roof and jump up and down, but he was just trying it out... None of these three people had good martial arts, but they all had courage, so they hit it off and decided to take Jianshu with them and bravely enter the dark alley!
The dark alley at midnight was the busiest time. The four people came to the dark alley wearing the coarse linen clothes that Jin Xiaoye had collected from somewhere, but they did not attract the attention of others. The clothes that Jin Xiaoye was wearing were patched and washed white. It was unknown which farmer had stolen them. In response, Jin Yunian said that he gave them silver.
Yuan Ge went to the tofu pudding stall as he was familiar with the place. The aunt was still there, but she had forgotten the little girl who said "Come again another day". After all, she had to hear such words countless times every day. She just greeted the four young men enthusiastically, "You look unfamiliar, you seldom come to the dark alley, do you? What are you here to buy today?" The dark alley is a place where mostly poor people make their living, but it is also a good place to hunt for curiosities.
These four people were dressed modestly, but the charm between their eyebrows and eyes could not deceive anyone.
"Come and have a look." Yuan Ge took the tofu pudding and said with a smile, "They said that rare medicinal herbs can be bought here. My husband has a strange disease and the doctor is helpless, so they asked me to try my luck here."
She said it calmly, but Master Jin choked on his tofu brain and was so dumbfounded that he wanted to applaud: Does Song Wenyuan know that his sister-in-law is ruining his reputation outside? Strange disease... How could he know that Song Wenyuan really had a strange disease, and Yuan Ge really wanted to try his luck here.
The aunt was still as enthusiastic as ever. After a moment's thought, she pointed inside and said, "Then you have to go inside. Generally, the good things are in there. But... those items are also expensive. After all, each has its own origin!" She lowered her voice and sighed after she finished speaking. There was obviously a bit more empathy and pity in her eyes when she looked at Yuan Ge.
He is probably a miserable person.
Yuan Ge did not ask more questions, but nodded and said, "I know... If you have money, you can treat it. If you really can't buy the medicine even if you spend all your money, then you won't treat it... Anyway, the world is not peaceful nowadays. Who knows how long you can live after being cured. This morning, when I passed by the government office, I saw the lady of the Yin family still crying. I think she is desperate. I don't know how she will be in the end."
"You don't know yet, do you?" The woman who was also eating tofu pudding beside him interrupted and said, "We found it in the afternoon... Unfortunately, it's gone! I heard that the one from the Yin family was carried out of the government office and fainted... It was pitiful."
Understanding what was meant, Young Master Jin pulled a stool over and said, "Gone? Oh my God...how could that happen?" With just the right amount of emotional expression, he instantly became part of the "group".
The woman shook her head and sighed, "Of course not... I'm telling you, you two beautiful girls, don't go out at this time of year! I heard that a lot of girls have gone missing in the past two months. Haven't you seen more police patrolling the streets than usual? I don't know what's going on, but I haven't allowed my girl to go anywhere lately. I'm so scared!"
"Yes!" Jin Yunian held his chin and nodded seriously, "No wonder when I came in, I felt that there were fewer girls in front of the stall than before... Are they hiding at home and not daring to go out?"
"You are a bad guy who visits girls all day long!" The woman smiled and nodded his head, then sighed, "This alley is good, with only one exit. We know most of the girls doing business here, so if anything goes wrong, our neighbors can stop them. I heard that all those who disappeared this time were from the southwest of West City, so..."
The woman frowned and looked up at the aunt in front of the stall. "It's the spice shop of Old Liu's family. You know it... Liu, Liu Mazi's family!"
"Yonghefang."
The woman suddenly realized and slapped her thigh, "Right! Most of them are girls from Yonghefang and Yongpingfang! Speaking of which...Didn't Liu Mazi disappear too? Could it be that this human trafficker not only captures girls, but also men?"
Yuan Ge's eyes suddenly darkened. She lowered her head slightly, her long and thick eyelashes covering the flickering emotions in her eyes. She looked like she was eating tofu pudding with aloofness, but it seemed as if there was a huge rock in her heart, sinking down little by little... After a while, she scooped up a mouthful of tofu pudding, tilted her head to look at the woman, and asked with a smile, "Yes, there is only one exit in this dark alley. So it is still safe?"
"Of course!" The woman said with a smile, "Although the police don't come here to patrol, these shopkeepers are all warm-hearted. I am a frequent customer here and I am familiar with every shop! I heard the eldest sister said she wanted to buy medicinal herbs? Go inside, the third shop from the bottom has good ones! There are many bamboo poles standing behind the shop, which are easy to recognize. Speaking of these bamboo poles, I have said it many times. When the ground shook that day, all of them fell on his head, but he refused to take them away. It's weird..."
She was talking to herself, and then she waved her hand anxiously to drive him away, "Go, go, don't keep talking to a woman like me, you young people should go and do your business!"
What a warm and cheerful one.
Yuan Ge ate all the tofu pudding, stood up, paid the bill, thanked the two aunts, and then walked into the dark alley together.
The tofu pudding lady just stared at the piece of silver in her hand and remained silent for a while... What the girl gave was really too much, but she walked so fast that she was merged into the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye... Come to think of it, that girl seemed familiar.
