The Child Emperor

Chapter 71 Heroes

There are not a hundred palaces in Baiwangxiang, and there are only thirty or so mansions, but there are really hundreds of princes and princes who have lived there for many years.When the emperor is happy, this place is extremely lively. The princes and kings from all over the country compete for extravagance, leaving a lot of good stories in the capital. Once the emperor's suspicion becomes serious, all the princes and kings have to return to the country obediently. into Beijing.

Since Emperor Wu killed the prince in his later years, Baiwang Lane has never been lively.

It is winter now, and most of the princes and kings stay in their home countries, so Baiwang Lane is even more desolate. It is almost dusk, and the adjacent residential areas are just lit up. Only a few lanterns are lit at the dozens of gates here.

The Juanhou Mansion, which has just hung a new plaque not long ago, is quite lively in front of the gate. From time to time, people walk by together and look inside the gate.

One of Yang Feng's "friends" came over and said, "It's okay, they are all friends from the city, and my brother will get rid of him with just a few words."

Yang Feng clasped his fists and said, "Thank you."

Han Ruzi followed Yang Feng, but the man didn't even look at him.

"You have quite a few friends..." Han Ruzi whispered.

"Some friends are very easy to make. If you lower your posture, be polite, and then offer money, you will have friends. It doesn't matter even if you don't know each other."

Han Ruzi asked in surprise, "Are they hired?"

"Hire? You may not be able to hire me with the same amount of money." Yang Feng walked up and down the front yard, and when he met a "friend", he bowed his hands to each other. He was polite, but never humble.

There is another set of rules in the Jianghu, Han Ruzi couldn't understand it even more, followed with small steps, and said: "Junyang Hou Huabin said that he wanted to justify the names of heroes who died in vain during Emperor Wu's time, these friends of yours... are they considered heroes? "

"These friends are heroes in the alleys of the capital, as for Marquis Junyang?" Yang Feng snorted disdainfully, stopped in his tracks, "A man who wants to be famous."

"But he really said that, and... also tried hard, and now he is still on the run, and his whereabouts are unknown."

Yang Fengdao: "The Hua family is indeed famous all over the world for its heroes. They have a lot of friends, and they can't distinguish between good and bad, so they planted the root of disaster. When King Qi conspired against him, he recruited many local heroes, and more than half of them had contacts with the Hua family. They were ordered to go to Kanto The officials who investigated the case collected enough confessions to fill ten carriages. The Empress Dowager did not act for a long time because she hoped that the evidence would be more sufficient to uproot the Hua family and the same family. Unexpectedly..."

"The Marquis of Junyang has made an advance move." Han Ruzi suddenly realized, "Hua Bin had already prepared to escape, and participated in the palace change to strengthen his reputation, and he could be protected by a hero wherever he fled, no wonder the court has not been able to catch him. Then those words he said at that time... Oh, they were not meant to me, there are other people outside the door, and they will spread the word in Jianghu for Marquis Junyang."

"Well, in Jianghu, fame is power, and the sword must bow before fame."

"Mr. Yang has a good reputation in Jianghu, right?" Han Ruzi asked curiously.

Yang Feng replied bluntly: "In Jianghu, Yang Feng is an unknown person." After that, he went to check the door.

Han Ruzi stayed where he was, feeling more and more that Yang Feng's past was not simple.

The people outside the gate of the Hou Mansion not only wandered back and forth, but some simply stayed behind, standing or squatting at the door, greeting each other, and some suddenly became violent and yelled at each other by name, and those who were scolded usually turned around and ran without People dare to talk back, and no one dares to stay and fight back.

Feeling that it was almost time, Yang Feng walked up to the thirteen "friends", clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, please light the lamp."

Below Han Ruzi, no one in the house understood what "lighting the lamp" meant, but those heroes in the streets knew it. Two of them took off their waist knives, solemnly handed them over to their companions, and then each picked up a lamp that had been prepared. Lantern, go out through the convenient door and close it.

"Lighting" turned out to be just lighting. Han Ruzi, the eunuchs and court ladies couldn't help being surprised and disappointed. Soon, their thoughts changed.

The door was not closed tightly, and the voices from outside could be heard clearly.

"Bai Taiyong in Xiaxiaochunfang, I don't need to mention him, everyone knows him, the second brother of Yi Kuang, the tailor of Sanliu Lane, we two brothers are here to say hello to all friends. Juanhou moved to a new house today, I didn't expect there to be so many people A friend came to celebrate, and the preparations were not well prepared, so we specially asked our two brothers to come out to entertain. There is nothing to say, Xiaochunfang Zuixianlou has prepared wine and food, everyone go now, mention our two brothers' names, and we will not get drunk when we go upstairs No, we'll be there later..."

Standing behind Juanhou, Zhang Youcai said in a low voice, "This man can really talk, Brother Kuang of Sanliuxiang, his name is also interesting, wine and vegetables? How can we..."

Yang Feng turned his head and took a stern look, Zhang Youcai stopped talking, but he was not very convinced, and said in a softer voice: "It's really deceiving, no matter what, it's a prince's house, and he invited a bunch of gangsters to eat, and he was still hungry .”

Han Ruzi didn't think so, but listened very carefully, trying to figure out every word from outside.

After Bai Taiyong, Kuang Taiyong also said a few words. He seemed to be a tailor, and the first thing he said was: "So who, you took three sets of robes from my shop, when will you pay? Today we have to work hard. Let's talk about..."

Laughter sounded outside the door, and a few people opened their mouths to provoke, but before Bai Taiyong and Kuang Taiyi could speak, they were scolded away by others.

Not long after, Bai and Kuang came back from the convenient door, left the lantern in their hands outside, took the knife from their friend, bid farewell to Yang Feng, and still didn't look at Juanhou.

Then several groups of gangsters came, and the "friends" invited by Yang Feng took turns to wait and see at the door. Whoever could speak up would go out to persuade them to leave. A few words of cursing actually took effect.

Around [-] o'clock, there were no more gangsters, and there were three heroes left. Yang Feng walked over, whispered to them, and then sent them out the door in person, without being rude at all.

Han Ruzi didn't realize until now that Yang Feng didn't just recruit thirteen heroes from alleys and alleys at random. These people are all big men in the capital who can control one side, and are responsible for driving out different gangsters.

After seeing off all the heroes, Yang Feng said to the eunuchs and maids: "Everyone go to rest, remember, no matter what sounds you hear, don't go out at night."

Getting rid of the gangsters seemed too easy, and everyone was not very scared. Zhang Youcai even dared to joke, "What about the urgency? We didn't eat, but we drank a lot of cold water."

Everyone laughed, and Yang Feng said sternly: "Hold on, I'll give you another knife if I can't hold back."

Zhang Youcai was startled, and clutched his crotch, "Then I'll hold on, master, go back to the room and rest."

Yang Fengdao: "You step back, Juanhou stays, I have something to say to him."

Most of the people lived in the front yard. Yang Feng went to lock the door himself, checked the latch of the gate again, took Juanhou to the second yard, and said to Zhang Youcai, "Why did you stay? You weren't asked to follow."

"The master is a noble body, so someone must serve him. I don't think Manager Yang is very good at doing this kind of thing."

Han Ruzi said: "No, I can take care of myself, you go to rest."

After the master spoke, Zhang Youcai finally walked away. Yang Feng looked at the young eunuch's back, "I just left the palace, and my temper has grown, so I have to clean it up in the future."

"It's because the imperial palace is too oppressive." Han Ruzi laughed, "Even I want to run around."

"Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future." Yang Feng walked into the second courtyard, stood under a tree in the middle, and looked around, as if he was looking for something.

Han Ruzi asked, "Will anyone else come?"

"Well, the previous ones were all small troubles, and the next ones are big troubles."

"How much did it cost to hire those heroes?" Han Ruzi was very concerned about the details.

"Fifty to 100 taels of silver per person."

"So few?" Han Ruzi was surprised.

"Yinzi is just a sign. What they want is fame. Within three days, the story of 'Thirteen Heroes of the Capital Protecting the Deposed Emperor' will spread throughout the capital."

"Heh... would someone really say that?" Han Ruzi felt a little ridiculous.

"Of course, I've already made arrangements." Yang Feng walked towards the East Wing, seeming to think that the roof over there was suspicious.

Han Ruzi stopped laughing, stood still and thought for a while, then caught up with Yang Feng, "The big trouble will come later, shall we just deal with it?"

"No, I found two helpers...why haven't they arrived yet?"

Han Ruzi felt strange again, why did he look at the roof when the helper didn't go to the gate?So I also looked around, turned around, and saw nothing on the roof, but there were two more people under the tree.

That was the place where Han Ruzi and Yang Feng had just stood, and now there were two other people standing, one old and one young, they couldn't see clearly in the night, only they were very thin.

Han Ruzi was too surprised to speak, and tugged on Yang Feng's sleeve.

Yang Feng turned around and looked at the two, not surprised at all, but a little dissatisfied, "Is this necessary? Saying hello won't affect your reputation."

The young man took two steps forward, not much older than Han Ruzi, "I made a bet with grandpa that you know martial arts, but he said no, it seems that I have lost."

"I don't know martial arts, I can 'use' martial arts." Yang Feng strode up to the two, turned around and introduced to Juanhou: "This is Du Motian, a famous swordsman in the world, this is his grandson."

"Hey, why don't you say my name, my name is Du Chuanyun, people in the world call me..."

"Don't give yourself random nicknames, wait until you're older." Yang Feng was rude to the two, but he didn't annoy each other.

The thirteen heroes who came before did not take a look at Emperor Fei, but Du's grandfather and grandson were different. Du Chuanyun looked at Han Ruzi with a good eye, Du Motian stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "The grassroots don't know etiquette, and they come to visit at night, I hope you will forgive me."

These two people are not heroes in the village, but more like knight-errants. Han Ruzi didn't know how to receive them, so he clasped his fists clumsily and said, "A rare visitor is here, and I didn't prepare a wine ceremony. I'd like to ask you two to forgive me."

Du Motian smiled, and Du Chuanyun said: "Grandpa, there is nothing special about the emperor, I think I can be one too."

"Nonsense, your father didn't even leave you any property, why do you become emperor?" Du Motian scolded, and turned to Yang Feng, "I've asked friends in the Jianghu, and there seems to be no movement. Everyone is unwilling to provoke the court."

"I'm afraid there are people like Gui Yuehua."

Gui Yuehua is a native of Jianghu, and also the coach of Junyanghou's mansion, so he will inevitably participate in court disputes.

"It's okay, with our father and son here, we can definitely keep the emperor worry-free."

Just as Han Ruzi was about to say that he was not the emperor, there was a sudden noise outside, as well as knocking on the door, and a blunt voice shouted: "Open the door! Open the door to the gentlemen of Habayashi Guard!"

Yang Feng's expression changed slightly. All his preparations were used to deal with the people in the world. In his prediction, no one from all parties in the court would dare to publicly punish the abolished emperor.
