The rivers and lakes are full of local tyrants

People who walk the rivers and lakes, no one knows what will happen in the next moment, so they all have the habit of carrying disguised things on their bodies, just in case they are needed.So half an hour later, Shen Qianfeng and Shen Qianling turned into two small traders, looking very low-key and simple, not eye-catching at all.

Since it was still early, there were not many people in the city.Shen Qianling followed behind Shen Qianfeng with a small burden on her back, she couldn't be more bouncy.

"Walk well." Shen Qianfeng tapped his head.

"Why." Shen Qianling was very serious, "Brother Ye said, my character is set to be a lively peddler!"

Shen Qianfeng: ...

Shen Xiaoshou made faces at him.

Shen Qianfeng was angry and funny, and led him into a breakfast shop.

"Two guest officers, sit down quickly." There were not many tables in the store, so the boss was still busy, and when he saw it, he ran over to pour tea himself, and said, "It's too early, there are only steamed stuffed buns with three delicacies and meat porridge. "

"Two servings each." Shen Qianfeng said, "Get a few more sugar cakes."

"Okay." The boss slid down to get ready.Shen Qianling was playing with a teacup, and the jingle bells rang together. He was so lively that he successfully attracted people around him to turn their heads.

"Calm down!" Shen Qianfeng reprimanded, "What does it look like?"

"It's boring to be idle." Shen Qianling hummed, acting very well.

Shen Qianfeng shook his head and poured water to drink by himself.

"The two of you are not locals." The boss quickly came over with the buns, "The accent doesn't sound like it, and it doesn't look familiar."

"We came from the south." Shen Qianfeng said, "According to my master's order, if you want to set up a shed in this city to give out porridge and rice, it is considered a merit."

"Really?" The voice of this sentence was a bit loud, and the diners around could hear it, so they came over one after another.

"Yes." Shen Qianling nodded, "My master has a son, so he wants to do some good deeds, so that he can grow up safely. Originally, he just gave away porridge near his hometown. Later, when he heard that the heavy snow in the northeast caused disasters, many people were worried. We had no food, so we sent the two of us here to see if we could unite the rich local households and do something for the poor folks."

"Thank you so much." The boss was also very happy after hearing this, and ordered the staff to cut up two plates of beef and sighed after thinking about it, "There was a snowstorm in Lonicera City a few days ago, and many villagers fled to other places , I don’t know how much Xia Tian can come back, it would be nice if you two came earlier.

"It's a pity that we are not familiar with this place, and we don't know who to contact." Shen Qianfeng said, "I wonder if the boss can tell me who are the wealthy households in the city?"

"This place is not richer than Jiangnan, and there are not many big families." The boss said, "However, when it comes to doing good deeds, Mr. Kang in Chengbei is one of them. the poor."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Kang is a good man." The rest of the people around also nodded, "I have helped everyone a lot."

Shen Qianling glanced at his brother, and it was right when he was blindsided.

Shen Qianfeng smiled, not too surprised by this.After all, Kang Dafu was famous for being honest and honest back then, and he brought a lot of bank notes when he came to the Northeast. If he had done business well, it would not be surprising that he became a generous landlord now.

"I wonder if you can take the two of us to Kang Manor?" Shen Qianfeng said, "If you make a decision earlier, I can write a letter back earlier and ask the merchant to prepare rice, grain and clothes for delivery."

"I'll take the two of you there right away." The enthusiastic young man immediately volunteered, "Mr. Kang's residence is not far from here. If you walk faster, it's time for a cup of tea."

"Thank you very much." Shen Qianfeng stood up.

Shen Qianling quickly stuffed half of the sugar cake into his mouth, clapped his hands and stood up, chewing hard with puffed cheeks.

The boss looked like he wanted to laugh, and said cheerfully, "If this little gentleman is hungry, you might as well finish eating before leaving, and don't worry about it for a while."

"No need." Shen Qianling shook his head, "It's important to do business..." It's very sad to choke suddenly, I just want to swallow the sugar cake quickly.

Although it is one of the largest households in the city, the Kang Mansion does not look very imposing. There are two handymen sweeping snow in front of the door. They greet the young man with a smile, obviously they are familiar with him.

"Is Master Kang up yet?" the young man asked, "I brought guests over."

"Guest?" The handyman glanced at Shen Qianfeng and Shen Qianling, and asked hesitantly, "Who are you two?"

"These two are big families from the south, and they want to do some good deeds in the city." Before Shen Qianfeng opened his mouth to speak, the young man warmly introduced them, "So I brought them to find Master Kang."

"So that's how it is." The handyman was stunned, and hurriedly put down the broom and opened the door, "Master got up early in the morning, and he should be boxing in the courtyard at this time. Come and sit first, I'll go pass the pass."

"Thank you." Shen Qianfeng smiled.

Shen Qianling was a little surprised, isn't he a cook, how can he still punch?

The snow in the courtyard was swept cleanly. There were several large stoves in the middle of the hall, and there was still a faint sweet smell in the air. The servants brought tea up. Shen Qianling took a look at it and felt a little strange, "Why is it so thick." And there are sesame peanuts on top.

"Mr. Hui, this is oil tea noodles. Drinking it can warm your body and fill your stomach." The servant said, "I came so early, I think you two haven't had breakfast, and drinking some of this will make your stomach feel better."

"That's it." Shen Qianling smiled, "Thank you."

"Where is it, Mr. Xiao is being polite." The servant said, "You two came here from thousands of miles to do good deeds, and we should be grateful to you."

"I wonder when Master Kang will come?" Shen Qianfeng asked.

"Come right away." The servant said while turning his head, "No, it's already here."

Shen Qianfeng put down the teacup in his hand, and as soon as he stood up with Shen Qianling, he saw an old man coming in from the door. Although he was full of white hair, he was tall and burly with a red face, and he looked like a master.

"Master." The servant greeted respectfully.

"Master Kang." Shen Qianfeng also smiled at him.

Since the two had changed their appearance, Kang Dafu didn't recognize him, and while ordering his servants to bring some melon seeds and snacks, he sat down and said, "I heard that the two of you came here this time to give porridge to the people in the city?"

"Yes." Shen Qianfeng nodded, repeating what he said earlier in the shop.

"That would be the best." Kang Dafu said with a smile, "If there is anything you want me to do, you two just ask."

"What request does Master Kang have?" Shen Qianfeng asked.

"Request?" Kang Dafu frowned slightly.

"Naturally." Shen Qianfeng said, "When doing good deeds in the South, there is always a particular point."

"What's the point?" Kang Dafu was puzzled.

"My master is a businessman, and he pays attention to the word 'profit' in everything he does." Shen Qianfeng has a deep meaning, "Even if he does good deeds, he must pay attention to rewards."

Kang Dafu was immediately displeased when he heard the words, "They are all poor people, so how can we talk about repaying them?"

"You can't get anything in return from the people, but you can talk to the government." Shen Qianfeng smiled, "Boss Kang is also a businessman, so he doesn't understand these things, right?"

"What exactly are you trying to do?" Kang Dafu became vigilant.

"It's natural to do good deeds, but we also want to do legitimate business." Shen Qianfeng said, "Although women in the Northeast are beautiful, they are not as graceful and petite as Jiangnan. We want to open a brothel in the city, but the imperial court is very strict about such businesses. so we--"

"So the two of you want to use the pretext of doing good deeds first, to deceive the government and the people, and then open the Goulan Courtyard conveniently?" Kang Dafu interrupted him.

"Master Kang is really shrewd." Shen Qianfeng smiled, "How about it? If you are willing to cooperate, this is a profitable business. I have plenty of girls."

Shen Qianling hummed silently in her heart, if my sister-in-law hears this, just wait and kneel on the washboard.

"Forgive me for not being able to cooperate with the two of you." Kang Dafu stood up in a huff, "It's easy to leave."

"Master Kang, why bother to be so reticent." Shen Qianfeng said unhurriedly, "In this way, you and I can earn money, and the poor can also have food. I really don't see any harm."

"Which brothel in the world doesn't force girls into prostitution. I've been upright all my life, so how can I care about such unconscionable money." Kang Dafu pushed open the door, "Come here!"

"Yes." The servant trotted all the way over, "Master, what's the matter?"

"See off the guests!" Kang Dafu walked out without turning his head.

The servant is puzzled, isn't it for talking about good deeds?Why did they fall out.

"Master Kang don't think about it anymore?" Shen Qianfeng said behind him, "After passing this village, there will be no such shop."

"Yes, yes." Shen Qianling also joined in the fun.

"Get out!" Kang Dafu's voice was like a bell, obviously very angry.

"Yes!" Although he didn't know what happened, the servant was still very conscientious, and blasted the two of them out with a broom.

Shen Qianling was filled with emotion outside the door, "It's really fierce."

"What do you think of him?" Shen Qianfeng asked.

"Shouldn't be a bad guy." Shen Qianling said, "Otherwise, it's unlikely that he would put money away and not make any money."

Shen Qianfeng nodded, "Uncle Kang was originally jealous of evil, but now it seems that he has not changed at all."

"Then what should we do now?" Shen Qianling rubbed his hands, "It's a bit cold."

Shen Qianfeng smiled, and pulled him to knock on the door again.

"Why are you again?" The servant opened the door a little impatiently, "My lord has ordered that both of you are liars, you are not allowed to come in again."

"There was a misunderstanding just now." Shen Qianfeng explained patiently, "Can you pass it on again?"

"No, no, hurry up, or don't blame us for being rude." The servant hurried away.

Shen Qianfeng took out a small silver medal from his pocket.

"Hey, you still want to bribe me?" The servant mocked, "Just say you're not a good person, hurry up and leave!"

Shen Qianling praised, "You really have backbone."

"That's right, I don't even look at who my master is." The servant didn't bother to bother anymore, he reached out and was about to close the door, but was stopped by Shen Qianfeng, so he said angrily, "Are you looking for a beating? Don't leave, be careful I will report to the police! "

"Please give this to Master Kang." Shen Qianfeng said, "He might change his mind after reading it."

"What new tricks are you playing?" the servant was wary.

"Master Kang will know after reading it." Shen Qianfeng smiled, "We will wait here and won't go in."

The servant frowned and thought for a while, and finally went back to give the silver medal. Before leaving, he naturally did not forget to close the door, lest these two liars would take the opportunity to sneak in again.

"Aren't you going to leave?" Kang Dafu was about to have breakfast, when he heard his back beard up and down, "Find some people to drive him away, it's really troublesome in the morning."

"They said they have something to give to the master." The servant handed over the silver medal.

"Is there anything else you want to give me?" Kang Dafu frowned first, then took a look at it and was surprised, "The two of them really gave it to me?"

"Ah, yes." The servant nodded, "Master knows?"

"Let them in." Kang Dafu hastily put down his chopsticks, "Take them to the study."

"Yes." Jia Ding turned around and ran out, and brought him to Kang Dafu after a while.

"Who are you two?" There was no outsider in the study, Kang Dafu opened his eyes wide, trying to identify who they were.

"Uncle Kang, forgive me." Shen Qianfeng smiled, "The matter is so important that we have to act out a play."

"What do you mean?" Kang Dafu was still puzzled.

Shen Qianfeng tore off the mask on his face, "It's me."

"Eldest Young Master?" Kang Dafu was shocked at first, and then beamed with joy, "How could it be you?"

"It's not just me." Shen Qianfeng looked at Shen Qianling, "Are you planning to wear a mask?"

Shen Xiaoshou raised his head vigorously, "Tear it off." Although Yirong is very fun, it hurts every time to tear off the mask. This time, seeing his brother's movements so chic, he deeply believes that it is because of his lack of skills.

Shen Qianfeng tore off his mask casually.

"Ah!" Shen Xiaoshou screamed, because it was still in pain!

It turned out that his brother was not good at technology, but thick-skinned!

"Young master." Kang Dafu was even more surprised.

"Well, it's me." Shen Qianling rubbed her face with guilt in her eyes, "Well, I lost my memory."

"I've heard it all, as long as you're fine." Kang Dafu pulled him to look back and forth, and said with a smile, "That's right, I'm much fatter than when I left Sun Moon Villa."

There was a thunderbolt on a sunny day.Shen Xiaoshou was severely injured again.

It's fine if you're fat, but you have to add a lot more!

And no good!I've been losing weight lately!

Shen Qianfeng suppressed a smile, "Ling'er dislikes being called fat."

"There's nothing wrong with being fat, you'll be rich when you're fat." Kang Dafu patted his belly, "Having a belly makes you more handsome!"

Shen Qianling: ...

I don't want style at all.

"Uncle Kang should take the matter just now to heart." Shen Qianfeng said, "After all, we haven't seen each other for a while, and Ling'er and I didn't dare to come to the door rashly, so we had to test it out first as a last resort."

"It's okay, people's hearts will change, and it's normal to have such concerns." Kang Dafu poured tea for the two of them himself, "I also heard the news before that the young master and his party came to the Northeast, and I was thinking of waiting for you to pass by Lonicera City At that time, I wanted to invite you to my home as a guest, but I didn't expect to see you in advance."

"To be honest, this trip is to ask for something." Shen Qianfeng said, "I don't know if Uncle Kang knew about Zhou Jue?"

"Naturally, there are rumors about him everywhere in Northeast China." Kang Dafu nodded, "There are good and bad rumors. Some people say that he is the real dragon emperor, and some people say that he has a bag on his head."

"Pfft." Shen Qianling laughed out loud, it was very straightforward that he had a bag on his head.

"Our trip is to exterminate Zhou Jue." Shen Qianfeng said, "I found out some things a while ago, so I wanted to come here and ask Uncle Kang, how is Boss Li of the Shunfeng Escort Bureau in Lonicera City?"

"Li Tie?" Kang Dafu snorted, "Being rich and being unkind is not a good thing."

"For example?" Shen Qianling asked.

"Different from Jiangnan Escort, SF Escort seldom escorts goods, and their business is to escort caravans across the glacier." Kang Dafu said, "His family does not charge a fixed fee, but evaluates the value according to the goods. The rest of the bodyguard agencies, although they earned a lot of money, never paid back to the people. Li Tie only cared about his own enjoyment every day, and there were at least a hundred wives and concubines in his family."

"Hundreds of people?" Shen Xiaoshou was stunned.

"Although not all of them are kept at home, but they are almost the same." Kang Dafu shook his head and said, "Li Tie is very lustful, and his biggest hobby is to search for beauties from all over the country, and then keep them at home for fun. After a while, I get tired of it They sent them back in batches, counting the comings and goings like this, hundreds of people are considered a small number."

Shen Qianling made a disgusted expression.

"Why did the two young masters mention him?" Kang Dafu asked.

"To be honest, we suspect that he has something to do with Zhou Jue." Shen Qianfeng said, "I wonder if Uncle Kang can do us a favor?"

"Master, you're being polite, but it's okay to say it." Kang Dafu was very straightforward.

"We want to live here temporarily." Shen Qianfeng said, "so that we can find out about Li Tie."

"No problem, I'll go and order the guest room to be tidied up." Kang Dafu said, "If you need me to come forward, the young master can just ask."

"Thank you." Shen Qianfeng nodded, "For the sake of convenience, Ling'er and I are still disguised as businessmen. As for the other two, we can only stay out of the house for a few days and show up as rice deliverers after a few days. "

"What are the other two?" Kang Dafu was a little confused.

"Shaoyu and Xiaojin are here too." Shen Qianfeng said, "It's just outside the city."

"Palace Master Qin and Gu Master Ye?" Kang Dafu said with a smile, "We didn't catch up with the marriage back then, but this time it's good, we can see each other at once."

In the afternoon, the four of them all moved into Kang Mansion.Kang Dafu insisted that no one in the house should approach the small courtyard, because guests like to be quiet.

"Li Tie from Shunfeng Escort." Shen Qianling dragged his cheeks and asked, "Is he famous in Jianghu?"

"No." Shen Qianfeng shook his head, "It's not like opening a bodyguard bureau casually, and you can say that you are from the Jianghu. This Li Tie is at best a businessman."

"According to what Uncle Kang said, the one who transported women to Beixun Village these years should be absolutely true." Ye Jin said, "Using his lustful name, he searched for women across the country and raised them at home for a while before transporting them." Out of the city, it was claimed to be tired of playing and sold, but in fact it was given to the rebels."

"What are those girls thinking?" Shen Qianling shook her head, "I agree to this kind of thing."

"So what if you don't agree?" Ye Jin said, "If you can choose, I'm afraid not many women are willing to do this kind of thing, but it's a pity that they don't have the power to restrain the chicken. Once threatened by the villain, they can only obediently obey their orders."

"Then what should we do next?" Shen Qianling asked.

"Although I know it well, after all, everything is speculation, and evidence is needed." Shen Qianfeng said, "I also want to meet him, maybe I can find out more things."

"Then why not ask Uncle Kang to come forward and gather all the wealthy households in the city in the name of doing good deeds?" Ye Jin said, "When you attend with Ling'er, you will naturally be able to meet Li Tie."

"I think so too." Shen Qianfeng nodded, "After seeing people, adapt to the situation, as much as you can get out."

"Then when will we act?" Qin Shaoyu asked.

"It's not too late. Naturally, the sooner the better." Shen Qianfeng said, "I'm going to find Uncle Kang now."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a sound of noisy footsteps outside, as if a group of people ran past the courtyard wall.

"What happened?" Ye Jin frowned.

"I don't know." Shen Qianfeng picked up the mask, "I'll go out and have a look."

"I'll go too!" Shen Qianling volunteered.

"You are not allowed to go." Qin Shaoyu hugged him into his arms, "Stay with me."

Shen Qianling: ...

In front of his brother and sister-in-law, his man is really annoying.

Not long after going out, Shen Qianfeng turned back, "There is a person missing in Kang's residence."

"Ah?" Shen Qianling was surprised, "Who lost it?"

"It's a boy. He said that he lost his way when we went to the mountains together. The others all came back, but he was lost alone." Shen Qianfeng said, "Uncle Kang has already sent someone to look for him."

"Which mountain?" Shen Qianling asked.

"There is only one mountain nearby, and it is from the south gate." Shen Qianfeng said, "It's neither near nor far, and it looks quite high."

"Isn't that hard to find? It's such a cold weather." Shen Qianling looked at Qin Shaoyu, "Why don't we go help?"

"I can go alone, you stay indoors." Qin Shaoyu said, "It's too cold in the mountains."

"The room is boring, let's go together." Shen Qianling said, "Brother Ye and Brother are here, so I don't need to do anything."

"But it is said that there are ghosts in the mountains, are you sure you want to follow?" Shen Qianfeng asked.

Shen Qianling said, "How old do you think I am?" She actually used such a childish excuse to stop it!

"I didn't lie to you, it's really haunted." Shen Qianfeng said, "It doesn't matter to Shaoyu, but you are timid, I'm afraid you will be scared."

"Really?" Shen Qianling frowned.

"I just went out to inquire, and the handyman was talking about it." Shen Qianfeng said, "The mountain group is divided into two parts, the east and the west. The east side is fine, and the people often go in to hunt and collect herbs. The west side is haunted one after another. I heard that they go there and never return."

"..." Shen Qianling hesitated.

"With me here, you don't have to be afraid of these things." Qin Shaoyu looked at him, "If you really want to help, I will take you out now."

"Yeah." Shen Qianling held his hand, "The two of us go together!"

"Be careful on the road." Ye Jin didn't stop her, "Depending on the weather, it might snow heavily at night, so come back earlier."

Qin Shaoyu nodded, and led Shen Qianling out of the Kang Mansion secretly, all the way towards the mountains in the south of the city.
