“It hurts, it hurts…”

Ye Liangchen grinned.

Although he was also a third-rate warrior, the number of the men in black on the opposite side was large, and Ye Liangchen had no good way to resist their crazy beating.

What’s more, the man in black opposite is the guard of the prime minister of the dynasty.

It can also be considered as his personal army.

Ye Liangchen didn't dare to offend.

Fortunately, these people were holding sticks instead of swords, otherwise they would have been covered in scars.

He looked at the wrinkled marriage certificate in his hand, frowning.

He originally had Gu Xiangxiang under his control.

However, he didn't expect that she would break off the engagement and know all those things about him.

Ye Liangchen's eyes were filled with resentment, and he was a little crazy. He spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground, "Who on earth is it? Destroying my feelings... Without the help of the Gu family, it would be difficult to climb to a high position in a short period of time."

The only thing that makes the empress take notice of him now is his talent.

But Ye Liangchen suddenly thought that in the future he could only make steady progress and slowly climb to a higher position, and he became irritated for a while.

Just at this moment.

A little servant boy beside him ran over in a hurry, looked at the bruises on Ye Liangchen's body, and helped Ye Liangchen up with heartache.

His eyes were full of worry, "Are you okay, sir?"

"It's okay." Ye Liangchen gritted his teeth, shook his head, and then said: "Fubao, why did you come over here?"

"Sir, I rushed here as soon as I got the bad news." Fubao replied.

Ye Liangchen turned his head and looked at him, "What bad news?"

Fu Bao took a breath first, and then told everything without hiding anything:

"This morning, when Miss Tong married into the young master's house, Miss Qin and the son-in-law started talking to Miss Gu. I don't know what they talked about. Miss Gu looked depressed and asked the maid to check on you."

"Not long after, news spread in the Gu family that Gu Xiangxiang wanted to cancel the engagement... I also heard it from a servant of the Gu family, so I hurried over."

Ye Liangchen fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Today is his wedding day.

However, taking a concubine does not require a grand banquet. Just a simple fire pot, placing some furniture, and entertaining some guests are all that is needed, and the matter is called upon.

So, Ye Liangchen took advantage of the time in the afternoon and went to the Black Tiger Gang headquarters, intending to get this matter done.

But he didn't expect that someone also set fire in his backyard.

Ye Liangchen first smiled bitterly, his eyes gradually turned cold, "I didn't expect that my home would be stolen in such a short time. The Qin family's son-in-law and that Qin Yumo all deserve to die!"

He clenched his fists tightly.

Then he punched the tree stump hard, and a huge hole appeared in it.

…

at the same time.

Xu Qiu just came out of the palace.

Walking on Zhuque Street, he stepped into a tofu shop and ordered a bowl of tofu pudding to taste.

The inspection work is completed today.

As usual, he went to look for the Seventh Princess, and in addition to teaching her swordsmanship, he also took her medicine.

There was no shortage of materials in the palace, and all kinds of precious medicinal materials could be found. After Xu Qiu refined the medicine, he drank a big gulp like he did last night, and gave the rest to the seventh princess, An Xinyu.

Xu Qiu felt his internal strength a little.

He applied a little force with his palm, and the white porcelain bowl containing the tofu pudding shattered the next moment.

The shop owner saw this scene.

He was slightly stunned. "This bowl was fine, why did it crack?"

She came to Xu Qiu and said, "I'm sorry, sir. This bowl has probably been used for a long time, so it cracked like today. I'll go get you another one."

After wiping it clean, the female shopkeeper brought him two bowls of tofu pudding.

The extra bowl was an apology.

Xu Qiu felt quite embarrassed when he saw this, and muttered to himself, "The growth of internal strength is unexpected."

With his current strength, he is able to defeat second-rate warriors of a higher level.

This is completely possible with Xu Qiu's current swordsmanship and internal strength.

He simply finished his tofu pudding and put down the money for two bowls.

Then leave Suzaku Street.

Wait until we arrive at the Qin Mansion.

However, he heard a burst of crying sounds in the mansion. When he entered the room, he found that many women, maids and girls were half-kneeling and expressing their gratitude to Qin Yumo.

Xu Qiu stood aside, his arms crossed over his chest, looking curiously.

However, when the women found Xu Qiu coming back, they all knelt in front of him and said in unison: "Thank you, benefactor!"

There was also a girl of seven or eight years old who said in a baby voice: "Thank you, big brother."

Xu Qiu observed that they had already changed into new clothes. Although they were only servants' clothes, they were much better than before and at least could cover their bodies.

Qin Yumo quietly came to Xu Qiu's side, and a faint fragrance spread to his nose.

Qin Yumo's crescent eyelashes flickered, and she opened her cherry lips slightly and said, "Brother-in-law, they are all a group of pitiful people. Some were kidnapped by bandits and sold to the Black Tiger Gang. Many were pawned to gambling houses by gamblers, or farmers who could not pay the rent and were sold by landlords for mothers and daughters. Of course, a small number were abducted by beggars."

Listen to what my sister-in-law said.

The Black Tiger Gang has various channels to recruit people and then sell them.

The only thing that confused Xu Qiu was, "Aren't they afraid of losing money?"

"Losing money?" Qin Yumo shook his head and moaned, "These women are sent to the capital, and the price doubles. Especially the brothels, brothels, and prostitutes are four or five times higher than outside. If they are not so good, there are pawnbrokers who will take them, so doubling the price is not a problem."

Xu Qiu suddenly realized, and with one hand on his chin, he thought for a while and said, "No wonder they like to deal in human goods so much."

This kind of business is too violent.

The price is four or five times higher than that of pornography, gambling and drugs.

With such huge profits, the Black Tiger Gang doesn't care about these lives at all.

Xu Qiu glanced at the women, maids and girls kneeling on the ground.

He coughed dryly, put his hands behind his waist, and said in a calm tone: "According to the laws of Daqian, human trafficking is a serious crime. I am the inspector of Beihe Street, and it is my job, so you don't need to thank me."

Xu Qiu had no intention of taking credit.

These people are trouble.

He didn't want to get involved in too many causes and effects, even though there were good and bad ones, they could affect his practice.

When Xu Qiu left, he told Qin Yumo, "I'll leave these people to you. I won't interfere."

"Don't worry, brother-in-law, mother will help too."

Qin Yumo patted her pink chest with a confident smile on her pretty face, but her breasts were a little flat, as if they were lacking nutrition.

Maybe he is still in the developmental stage. Qin Yumo is only eighteen years old. In his previous life, he would be a high school student.

Xu Qiu just took a glance, then turned his head and walked towards the inner courtyard.

As soon as he took a step.

Suddenly I felt someone pulling my sleeve, I stopped and turned to look.

But Qin Yumo lowered her head hesitantly, her eyes drooping, her two white jade-like hands tightly grasping his sleeves, her cherry lips slightly opening and closing, and after a moment she mustered up the courage to say:

"I'm sorry, brother-in-law. It was Yu Mo's recklessness that put you in danger today and also provoked the Black Tiger Gang."

Qin Yumo thought about what happened today and wanted to slap himself in the face.

It actually caused trouble for my brother-in-law.

I can only blame myself for being too kind. I can't bear to see others suffer, but I let my brother-in-law bear everything silently and offended the Black Tiger Gang.

Qin Yumo also blamed himself for not having the ability.

At this time, Xu Qiu gently patted her forehead and said, "Don't think too much. If I see this, I will help. This is the duty of the inspector."

After saying this, he continued walking towards the inner courtyard.

Only Qin Yumo was left, clutching the corner of his clothes and staring foolishly at Xu Qiu's back.

I cannot see the rewards given on Qidian. I can only guess who gave the reward based on the book club list. So if there are people who gave rewards on Qidian and I haven't thanked them, thank you very much.
