Chapter 32: Ninth Uncle
Tang Ye did not rush to go out of the city to return to the Yizhuang Village, but instead wandered around the city and found a place to settle for lunch.
Today is the Zhongyuan Festival, the atmosphere is quite strong. Almost every household has set up braziers and other items at the door. When it is evening, they start to burn things.
There are many kinds of products in the Yin people, and incense, paper and money are just basic. There are also sedan chairs, cars and horses, clothes and wardrobes, slaves and boys, etc. Anything that exists in the world can be manufactured and formed an industry.
The business is quite booming.
Tang Ye followed Taoist Linghe to Yinjie and learned the inside story. The amount of Yin Qi contained in these Yin people's products depends on the materials used. However, there are fewer and fewer good materials. In this industry, the only way to use inferior products as good ones is to make them. Over time, many things are made, and the Yin Qi is almost ignored.
In other words, burning these things is more of a symbolic meaning.
After walking on the street for a while, I found a good restaurant with many diners, so I walked in, ordered a table of dishes, and slowly enjoyed it.
Tang Ye is rich now, and a large bag of silver dollars is carried in his hand. He is also a master of art and courage, so he dares to do this. If he had changed to an ordinary family, he would have run home and hide with so much money.
The dishes in this restaurant are tastefully cooked, especially the signature braised pork, which is full of color, aroma and taste, and is very good.
"Have you heard that? The girl from the Yang family at the west end of the city has disappeared."
"Oh, is it missing?"
"I don't know, it's been three days since I haven't seen you anyway."
"Hey, this world is messy in the county town, and it is getting more and more uneasy."
"No, in our county, young girls disappear for no reason every year, and the guys in the security team ignore them..."
"It's not that I ignore it, it's that the case cannot be solved."
As the man said, he suddenly lowered his voice: "There are rumors that these young girls were attracted by the Ghost King, so they took the lead in becoming ghost brides."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the deskmates suddenly became ugly, and one of them asked, "Is there really a ghost king here?"
"Who knows?"
The man shook his head: "Anyway, the rumors are so terrible."
"It's impossible. If there is a ghost king, why don't Uncle Jiu come forward?"
"Haha, do you think the Ghost King is so easy to deal with? Although Uncle Jiu is powerful, he is not a god..."
These people are very happy when you say something or I say something.
Tang Ye was quick to listen and understood.
In an era of chaos, the disappearance of a population is not a great thing. People who are separated are not as good as peaceful dogs, and their lives become low.
However, in this place, people are missing every year and there are still young girls, which is intriguing.
"Is it because someone trafficked people?"
Tang Ye first thought of this possibility.
In the first act, he was hiding on the docks and heard many ugly evil deeds, such as smuggling opium, selling guns and fire, and trafficking in humans.
For the sake of generous benefits, some gang forces do not hesitate to collude with foreigners and specialize in these activities that harm their compatriots.
"If you have the chance, you should check it..."
Tang Ye made up his mind.
After learning martial arts, he became a little jealous of evil. When encountering injustice, he couldn't help but want to take action. As the saying goes, "A hero violates the ban with martial arts." The better the force, the less he cares about the so-called secular ban.
After the meal was finished, I saw that it was getting late, so I walked out of the city with my money.
After walking for two or three miles, we came to a deserted place, a small forest.
Tang Ye turned around suddenly, and as expected, more than a dozen men soon followed him, each of them dressed in short dresses, with a bulging waist, and clearly a weapon hidden.
These men surrounded Tang Ye with a thunder, and showed weapons, short knives, daggers, axes, etc.
The leader, with a shiny scalp and a strong skeleton, said grimly, "Boy, hand over the money and you can spare your death."
Tang Ye smiled slightly: "Tell me who asked you to come, and you can die."
"court death!"
The big man said angrily: "Side by side, chop and feed the wild dogs."
Boom!
The subordinates shouted and waved their weapons to attack.
Tang Ye was not afraid of the elite soldiers holding guns, and he would not be afraid of these rascal villains.
This time, he took action without mercy.
The other party's situation is clearly about killing people and robbing people. Since this is the case, he should act as a way for heaven.
Crack!
With a heavy punch, the door that rushed the fastest was smashed, like a watermelon that exploded; then he swept across his legs, and two more flew out backwards and fell to the ground, losing their voice.
The remaining men were frightened when they saw this.
These people were all desperate people who gathered in the county town and committed crimes, with a lot of bad deeds.
Today, I heard that Tang Ye received hundreds of rewards from the Ren family. After being encouraged, they had already set their sights on Tang Ye.
In the county town, there are many people and it is difficult to start, so I followed them all the way out and left the city.
These people didn't know Tang Ye's power, and just thought it was a young apprentice. If it were Uncle Jiu's apprentice, they might be a little afraid, but they would have no mercy to talk about Taoist Linghe's apprentice and dared to attack directly.
Kill people and rob people, run away with money.
Unexpectedly, he got into trouble with a bad star. After a few encounters, five or six of them had already fallen.
These people did not fall to the ground due to injuries, but died directly.
Such a method is so shocking.
For a moment, the remaining few people lost all their fighting spirit and turned around and ran away.
Tang Ye was about to chase after him, and two people turned out on the other side of the road, looking exhausted. When they saw the situation here, one of the young men walked over quickly and saw the corpse on the ground, and was surprised: "What a cruel method!"
Tang Ye looked at him and saw that his thick eyebrows were quite heroic; then he looked at the other one, who looked over fifty years old, his hair was a little gray, and his eyebrows were very thick, and he raised it strangely; the eyes under the eyebrows were bright and energetic.
The young man stared at Tang Ye: "Why did you kill someone?"
Tang Ye replied: "Because people want to kill me."
"Even so, you don't have to kill anyone."
When Tang Ye heard this, he laughed and did not have a quarrel with him.
The young man snorted and turned his head and said, "Master, look?"
The middle-aged man in his fifties looked at Tang Ye and asked, "You are very strange, aren't you a local?"
Tang Ye replied: "Yes, I'm a foreigner."
The middle-aged man sighed: "When people from other places come here, they will inevitably be bullied. However, you are young and full of evil spirits, and you must have killed many people."
Tang Ye said in a little surprised: "Can you see this? Who are you?"
The young man said first: "My master is famous and everyone calls him "Uncle Jiu".
Tang Ye looked suddenly, it was indeed this person. He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said respectfully: "So it's the second uncle."
Uncle Jiu was stunned: "You call me Master?"
"Yes, my name is 'Tang Ye', and my master is Taoist Linghe."
"What? Are you Linghe's apprentice?"
Uncle Jiu was quite surprised.
