Chapter 101 Gang
[4 years old: Today is your birthday!
It is not easy to live to this day. Something terrible is surging under the calm surface.
And you are trying to take control of your life and survive the danger.
Welcome back, happy fourth birthday!
Physical fitness has been greatly reduced, wisdom has been slightly increased, and reputation is constantly increasing. 】
Wu You felt strange about this: "The simulator is broken again? I remember my birthday has already passed. Why is it coming again?"
He searched upwards and finally saw the familiar "口口口" literature. He placed his hands on his stomach with relief and said, "That's not surprising."
Sure enough, it broke down again.
Wu You began to doubt whether he could really escape with the help of the simulator?
He's almost getting used to this kind of life.
[4 years old: You followed the usual practice and asked for the files, but this time you went in a different direction.
By the way, take Wang Youyu back.
This time, you can't stay at home, you have to leave! 】
This was a hint given to him by my previous self.
The great **** anchored him in a 24-hour cycle on the timeline.
When the snake eats the frog, the cycle will end and time will flow forward.
Before the end of the cycle, if he cannot change the ending within the cycle, then the entire Xijing, including him, will die in their sleep.
Chu Songjun had previously avoided the end of the cycle by killing his own body in advance to remove the tadpoles in his body, making it impossible for the snake to hunt.
This card BUG trick can be used, but it cannot be used too many times.
After all, every time he starts a cycle, his lifespan is consumed.
It would be a hell of a joke if he didn't change the ending and died directly because his remaining life was completely consumed by too many cycles.
Chu Songjun knew that he couldn't stay in one place forever, he had to move so that he could avoid being hunted by the snake and avoid committing suicide early to end the cycle, making this cycle ineffective.
In the shadow, a ghost baby climbed out like a spider and blew a breath towards the Chu family’s guards.
Cassia waved his hands.
Chu Chenghong retracted his gaze, puffed up his chest and said seriously: "The plan of sneaking into Chencang has been completed, brother, you don't have to worry about the empty city plan! I will always stand by you!"
"Please, bro!"
Chu Songjun also nodded seriously. He turned his head and looked at the high wall.
He chose a simple way to leave - climbing over the wall.
Why not dig a dog hole?
Because the Chu family didn't keep dogs, the ghosts couldn't find the dog hole.
Chu Songjun is now 4 years old and still a little potato. Although the ghosts can help, Chu Songjun always feels that he is somewhat exploded when stepping on a group of babies.
He had to choose someone stronger and taller.
Although he may carry some risks.
Wang Youyu was a little nervous: "Sir, who are you talking to?"
"......" Chu Songjun coughed lightly: "Help me, help me get out."
The reasons were too complicated, so he chose not to explain.
Wang Youyu's heart was obviously in great turmoil. His face turned a little pale and he said firmly, "Young Master! Youyu will definitely protect you!"
I lost three fingers on my left hand, so it's a little hard for me to exert force.
Fortunately, Wang Youyu's agility made up for this.
This was the first time that Chu Songjun came out to see Xijing.
In the past, he lived in the deep mountains and had never been to the prosperous area of Xijing.
After being picked up by Chu Bingtian, in order to survive, he basically did not leave the Chu Mansion, and naturally could not visit Xijing.
The atmosphere in Xijing is more relaxed than that in Zhongzhou. Every area in Zhongzhou's capital is patrolled by the Heavenly Supervisors. Whenever they pass by, the streets immediately become silent. Even a passing dog has to accept the scrutiny of the Heavenly Supervisors.
Xijing is not as prosperous as Nanzhou. After all, Nanzhou’s “Yujing” was once the world’s trade capital, a flower of civilization carefully nurtured by souls from another world.
Xijing was just an ordinary royal city, similar to the ancient capitals of every dynasty in history.
There were some hurried passers-by on the streets, some guard dogs with drooping ears, some hawkers shouting loudly, and some people secretly dumping filth into the river.
However, the people of Xijing, like the people under the rule of every prosperous dynasty, lived a relatively happy and fulfilling life.
The clothes of noble families are different from ordinary white clothes.
Chu Songjun noticed that the common people quickly recognized which family he belonged to. Perhaps because the Dali Temple was conscientious, they were quite friendly to him.
But he still carefully wrote it down in his notebook, reminding himself to change clothes next time he went out.
The vendor rubbed his hands and said, "Young Master, missing? There are illegal residents missing in the North District of Xijing every month. I heard that they entered the territory of the Rat Gang and were eaten by the gang's boss."
He swallowed and said, "Young Master, is this helpful to you?"
"Yes." Chu Songjun signaled Wang Youyu to give some money to the small vendor.
The vendor left happily. After he left, the next person couldn't wait to squeeze in and said, "There's a family in our alley who lost four daughters and three sons! Does this count?"
Chu Songjun narrowed his eyes and nodded: "Please tell me in detail."
The man immediately started gossiping.
From the disappearance of the first child to the last one.
Chu Songjun frowned as he listened.
Rather than being kidnapped, he felt that the children were more like being sold.
"The eldest son of that family is currently studying in Songluo Lane. He is said to be very intelligent and is very likely to be recommended to the Lu family."
The man curled his lips, obviously looking down on the bad things this family had done.
"According to current laws, such behavior can only be said to be immoral and does not violate the law."
A faint voice suddenly interrupted.
Wang Youyu immediately stood in front of Chu Songjun vigilantly.
The man was wearing a green academic robe and holding a book in his hand. He smiled at Chu Songjun and said, "Why are you here, Songjun?"
Xie Jinghe?
Chu Songjun raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xijing has four urban areas: east, south, west and north.
The West City District is inhabited by aristocratic families, the North City District is at the foot of the Imperial Palace, and both the North and South City Districts are inhabited by common people. Now Chu Songjun deliberately went to the East City District. No matter how you look at it, Xie Jinghe should not be here.
"This gentleman..."
The gossiper obviously didn't expect Xie Jinghe to suddenly talk to him, and he immediately started to stammer, even though he was originally eloquent.
Xie Jinghe smiled gently at the man: "But I can tell the Lu family about the shameless behavior of their retainers."
The man was speechless for a long time. In full view of everyone, he covered his face and walked away without even asking for the money.
With Xie Jinghe in front, the rest of the onlookers didn't dare to come any closer and left one after another, as cautious as rabbits seeing a wolf.
Xie Jinghe is not like Chu Songjun. He is just a teenager with the air of a noble family. Even though he looks easy-going, he is surrounded by more than ten servants. If he gets angry, he will surely give the enemy a thundering blow.
Chu Songjun was four years old, with baby fat on his face and dimples on his cheeks when he smiled. Even though everyone was aware of his identity, they could sense that his behavior was harmless, and driven by money, they were willing to gossip with him.
"It's my bad luck that I came at such an inopportune time. I've ruined Mr. Song's mood."
Xie Jinghe said quite embarrassedly.
He was obviously aware that his arrival made the people feel threatened.
Chu Songjun shook his head: "Xie brother, why are you here?"
At the birthday party, Xie Jinghe's manuscript showed his hard work. When it was handed to Chu Songjun, the ink was not dry yet. He had copied it overnight.
Chu Songjun was well aware of Xie Jinghe's kindness towards him.
Xie Jinghe lifted his robe and sat down: "Just strolling around, are you listening to the grievances of the people, Lord Song?"
Chu Songjun nodded: "I want to know something, are you following me?"
Xie Jinghe's expression froze: "How could it be, this is not what a gentleman does."
Chu Songjun could also see from the details how much the Xie family respected the family motto, so he gave them a way out: "But if you are worried about your friend's safety, that is what a gentleman does. Maybe instead of stalking, I should use a different word, 'protect.'"
Xie Jinghe was silent for a moment, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red.
He went to the birthday party on purpose, but was told that it was inconvenient for them to get together. He was reluctant to leave, so he waited outside the door for a while longer, thus gaining a reputation for being "courtesy to friends".
Just before leaving, he received a warning from his ancestor and waited for a while, then he found Chu Songjun wearing a small cloak and his tall medical boy secretly climbing over the wall and leaving the house.
Xie Jinghe acted like a yellow bird and followed behind Chu Songjun, until now he couldn't help but jump out.
"It seems that gangs are rampant throughout Xijing. There are various small groups such as the Rat Gang, the Cat Gang, the Dog Gang, etc., like moss attached to Xijing..."
Xie Jinghe didn't understand this and nodded when he heard it.
But he had another purpose for coming out: "Lord Chu and my father are working not far from here. I saw people from the Dali Temple. Song Jun, if you don't want to be discovered, you'd better leave here, otherwise they will definitely find you here and take you back."
Xie Jinghe said with concern: "And if my father finds out, he will definitely find a way to report you, and the crime will probably be 'wasting the people's time'. We'd better leave quickly."
He knows his father best.
Chu Songjun immediately realized that it was Chu Bingtian who was arresting Wen Shao: "Okay! Then let's go to the North City District first!"
There are quite a few gangs in the North City District, and since they are gangs, perhaps we can get some information from them that the Dali Temple doesn't know.
He held back the words that he wanted to send Chu Songjun home.
Xie Jinghe called for a carriage: "Okay!"
The North City District is located at the foot of the Imperial City and should have good public security. Unfortunately, in the Xuanyuan Dynasty, the emperor's power is weak and cannot compete with the aristocratic families.
The gangs realized this and began to infiltrate the North City area little by little.
Xie Jing and this bright and handsome young man naturally didn't know much about gangs. In fact, because of their lack of understanding, they were eager to try.
But his attitude towards this didn't matter.
With his status as the young master of the Xie family, it is enough to make all the goodwill surround him.
Gangs are mice hiding in the dark, and they know best who to mess with and who not to mess with.
As a member of the top family in the dynasty, they would naturally gather around the children of the royal family when they see them parading around in the streets with gold in their arms, praising them for their graceful walks while hiding their dark thoughts in the deepest part of their hearts.
Otherwise, the rats will face the most horrific cleansing.
The largest gang in North City District is called the "Leopard Eye Gang". From the first step when Chu Songjun, who was wearing the Chu family emblem on his shoulder, entered the neighborhood, they recognized him as the only son of the Dali Temple Chief Justice. In the second step, they noticed Xie Jinghe next to him and realized that he was the noble son of the Xie family.
The leader of the Leopard Eye Gang is an old woman in her eighties or nineties. She has eyes as sharp as a leopard and is both vicious and cruel.
She was informed by her servants that a distinguished guest had come to her house. She held her cane with her rough hands and said, "Why do these gold-making masters like to come here so often recently? I am not going to do business anymore!"
She muttered to herself, but still had to go into battle herself, ran over to check the situation, and told her subordinates to be careful and not to scare the lambs, otherwise the "Leopard Eye Gang" would have no future.
The old woman kept a male slave who was handsome and tall. This was the tenth male slave she had.
He received the message and whispered, "Boss, Jinwawa is here to investigate the case."
"Tsk! Unlucky stuff, what kind of case does the Leopard Eye Gang have to investigate!" The old woman sighed softly, "These golden dolls are always on the spur of the moment. If they are really allowed to see the world, they will be scared out of their wits. Find a few people to put on a good show to trick them away, and notify those on duty to quickly get rid of these golden dolls!"
The old woman was old and did not seem to be very agile, so the male slave gave the order, lowered his head and helped the old woman to the street, and secretly followed her.
When she was young, she learned the secret arts in Nanzhou and gained a pair of ghost eyes.
Relying on these, he immediately became successful after returning to Xijing.
When she was full of vigor and vitality, she had tried to challenge the prestige of the noble families, but in the end she realized that some giants must not be provoked, let alone stroked.
She walked at a leisurely pace, just like an ordinary old woman walking on the street.
But the faces of the pedestrians on the roadside changed drastically after seeing her. The closer they got to the two golden dolls, the fewer real pedestrians there were.
***
Something is getting wrong with people.
Xie Jinghe's face was tense.
They did not look like ordinary people. Instead, there was an indescribable murderous aura between their brows.
Xie Jinghe instantly recalled the bloody ghost guests in the "Ghost Banquet in Changshou Palace" and subconsciously approached Chu Songjun.
He whispered, "Hold my hand, Song Jun, something seems wrong here."
Xie Jinghe's hands were trembling a little.
Rather than trying to give others a sense of security, Xie Jinghe at this moment may be more concerned with drawing a sense of security from others.
This pitiful symptom comes from the recent disaster of ghost painting.
So Chu Songjun reached out and held his hand.
Xie Jinghe calmed down a little: "The gang is right next to us. They seem to have surrounded us. Don't worry. The servants I brought are strong enough and should be able to deal with them."
Chu Songjun tilted his head and glanced at those people: "Wait and see, they dare not attack us."
Xie Jinghe nodded.
These gang members were obviously not able to read people's expressions to an outrageous degree, and they began their performance.
The first to come on the scene were the merchants who signed huge loan agreements due to illiteracy.
Then he knelt down and prayed.
Then he followed the arrogant faces of the villains and their haughty attitude towards the bystanders.
The villain actor has excellent acting skills, and when the audience sees him, they feel like slapping him in the face.
Not to mention, there just happen to be two young men from noble families who are supposed to be passionate and fearless.
They were just waiting for "Long Aotian" to tremble his dragon body, and then successfully slide to his knees after being slapped in the face several times.
These gangs are very good at playing, and the emotional value is provided directly.
Chu Songjun exclaimed in his heart.
What a talent!
This trick fooled a lot of people, right?
Chu Songjun suddenly noticed an old woman and a young man approaching on the roadside, and couldn't help speculating in his mind.
What roles will these two play later?
“Bang—”
It was the sound of a cane falling to the ground.
The old woman opened and closed her mouth for a long time, and couldn't help rubbing her eyes with her trembling hands.
She stared at Chu Songjun, a hint of fear appearing on her face.
Everyone couldn't help but be attracted by her attention.
Suddenly she walked very fast.
"You, what important business do you have here?"
Deep in her pupils, she saw the children on the street emitting sinister energy. One, two, three, countless ghosts of dead bodies were clinging to the children's bodies, with bloodshot eyes densely opened on their bodies, and the man was dancing with thousands of ghosts.
But he just tugged at his sleeves calmly, with a smile on his gloomy face.
When people die, they sometimes turn into evil ghosts, which often feed on humans.
The old woman heard a saying in Nanzhou when she was young.
Evil spirits are not untamable.
It is extremely difficult to control an evil ghost full of murderous intent.
Those who can truly succeed are often extremely terrifying people, otherwise how can they make evil spirits submit to them?
But now this person is filled with murderous aura, his eyes are bloodshot, and his body is full of ghosts.
These ghosts are crawling all over the sky and at your feet.
How was it trained?
What a cruel method, what a cruel means!
The old woman didn't dare to think deeply.
She trembled all over just thinking about it.
Even she was afraid of it.
"Please give me your orders!"
Chu Songjun tilted his head in confusion.
