Chapter 106 Rescue
I'm so proud of myself.
Looking at Yang Jinhua, who was in high spirits on the snow dog, Tofu Xishi (the leading female character) was a little dazed.
She stared blankly at Yang Jinhua's back as it disappeared into the distance on the street, then sighed silently.
"No matter how capable a woman is, it's better to marry well."
She muttered something under her breath, then turned around and slapped away a black hand that wanted to touch her fat buttocks.
The man behind him felt pain, retracted his hand and said with a wry smile: "Tofu Xishi, do you have eyes behind your back?"
"Do you think that I was selling tofu on the street these years because it was fake?" The tofu beauty put her hands on her hips and acted like a shrew: "I was just trying to protect myself from cheap men like you."
A group of men nearby laughed, and the man who was hit on the hand didn't care and laughed along.
This is also one of the fun of buying tofu here, to see who has the chance to take advantage of the tofu beauty.
Rumors about Tofu Xishi are flying everywhere, and many men say that they have taken advantage of her in some way or another. However, based on observations from men who often buy tofu, they all seem to be bragging.
Tofu Xishi is very charming and it seems that ordinary people cannot touch her.
On the contrary, because customers often come to buy tofu, her business is quite good.
Amid the noisy and flirtatious voices of the men, Tofu Xishi's tofu pudding and tofu were quickly sold out in less than an hour.
Then they packed up and went home. The men who had queued but failed to buy tofu were disappointed.
After the tofu beauty left, the men also dispersed, and the women who were setting up stalls nearby started gossiping.
It is said that Tofu Xishi seduces people at night, steals people, and sells things in a dark room. These are just some of the stories, and they sound very serious about them.
After some time, Tofu Xishi returned home, cooked the meal, and brought it to the bedroom to feed the man lying on the bed.
After daybreak, it became clear that although the man had a sallow complexion, his facial bones were actually quite good-looking. With a little washing and dressing up, he would become a handsome man.
The man swallowed a few mouthfuls of food and suddenly was able to speak. He pleaded in a low voice, "Wife, I know I was wrong. Please let me get up. I will go back to my hometown with you and live together as husband and wife, okay?"
"Not good." Tofu Xishi stroked the man's face and chuckled, "I finally rescued you from the hands of the two evil spirits in Mianzhou. How can I let you have the opportunity to abandon me again!"
"I really don't dare to think like that anymore."
"I've already written the divorce letter, and you're still saying you don't want to?" Tofu Xishi's smile became more and more creepy: "My lord, if you want to take a concubine, I have no objection, but you shouldn't divorce me."
The man's throat rolled a few times. Seeing that his plea was in vain, he angrily said, "Qin Xianglian, you bitch, the husband is the head of the wife, and you are not a good wife. Even if I divorce you, it is still in accordance with the law."
"Sir, you are wrongly accusing me." The female leader's smile suddenly brightened: "I can swear to heaven that I have never had an affair with anyone, but from the look on your face, it seems that you really want to do so. Otherwise, I will bring back a few wild men tonight and have sex in front of you, how about it!"
The man on the bed was stunned for a moment, then showed a horrified expression: "Qin Xianglian, when did you become so mean and vicious?"
"When you wrote the divorce letter." The female leader narrowed her beautiful phoenix eyes, looking at people like a sharp Guandao: "By the way, your new wife, Qingyao County Princess, has not come to you again. She has secretly recruited many male lovers during this period."
"You're lying, you evil woman, you're just jealous of her."
"I am indeed jealous, but I am not lying. The master knows my identity, and it is actually very easy for him to find out such things." The female leader smiled quite happily, gloating over other's misfortune.
The man was choked and speechless, and his expression became gloomy again.
After the meal is finished, it is afternoon again.
The leader girl was embroidering some floral fabrics at home and was about to go out to buy some household items when she saw two extremely .
One was wearing white clothes, the other was wearing sky blue clothes, and behind them were a group of detectives in black.
The female leader hurriedly lowered her head , looking a little embarrassed, and retreated back to the yard.
The female leader raised her head only after the two men passed by.
She stuck her head out of the wall and looked at the direction where the group of people were heading. She couldn't help but wonder, "Wait, this direction seems to lead to the sewer entrance in the west?"
Although the underground waterways of Bianjing City are "deep, wide and long", there are still several important openings with many connecting passages. A cellar opening in the west is one of them.
Her expression was slightly nervous, but at this moment, the man in white in front of her suddenly turned around.
The female leader was startled, and then she showed an expression of a woman looking at her lover and being caught shy, and she covered her mouth lightly and stepped back.
Then she walked into the room gracefully, her shy expression quickly turned into indifference, and her face was gloomy.
After a while, she returned to the bedroom, smiled at the man who was unable to speak again on the bed, and said, "Sir, maybe we should live somewhere else."
On the other side, Lu Sen withdrew his gaze and walked forward again.
At the side, Zhan Zhao also turned around. He didn't see anything and asked, "Lu Xiaolang, did you find anything?"
Lu Sen continued to walk forward and said with a smile: "It seems like a red apricot is looking at you."
Zhan Zhao rolled his eyes helplessly: "I'm about to get married, Lu Xiaolang, please stop joking. It won't be a good thing if Yuehua hears it!"
"tigress?"
"That's not the case. It's just that when she is unhappy, she will look at you with grievance, without saying anything, with tears in her eyes. It's unbearable." Zhan Zhao sighed.
Although it was a complaint, the tone was full of doting.
Lu Sen got goosebumps all over his body when he heard this. He shuddered subconsciously and changed the subject: "But to be honest, with your calm and cautious personality, I really didn't expect you to come and help me."
"Wuyou Cave and Guifan Tower! These are the two major poisons in the capital. If they are not removed, the people of the capital will bleed and be hurt." Zhan Zhao said slowly, "The gentlemen in this hall have no solution. If you have a solution, Lu Xiaolang, then I will naturally listen to you."
"But if the matter is investigated, you might even be stripped of your official uniform." Lu Sen said with a smile.
"In the past, there were righteous men who pleaded for the people and were not afraid of death. I, Zhan, have no official uniform, so what can I do?"
As the two were talking, they had already arrived in front of a cellar. A foul smell gushed out of the well, making the surrounding area stink.
Lu Sen took out a glass-like scroll and opened it. A map of the place appeared on it. It was a three-dimensional map that could rotate.
Looking at the interconnected structure inside, Lu Sen pointed to the green dots on it and said, "These are the people hiding inside. I can't tell whether they are good or evil, enemies or friends for now. The yellow dot in the middle is the detection ball I threw down and it drifted here. After you go down and capture the people, help me get the ball up."
After that, Lu Sen handed the scroll to Zhan Zhao: "Thank you for your help."
Then he took out three more torches: "I made these torches myself. They are very bright and will not go out when in contact with water. They can burn for six hours."
"I obey your order." Zhan Zhao's eyes sparkled, he clasped his hands together, then took the torch, lit it, opened the seal of the cellar, and jumped in first.
Then a dozen more constables jumped down, and there were still four constables left on top.
One is to protect Lu Sen, and the other is to stay and help.
Lu Sen took out a stone pickaxe from the system backpack and, together with two constables, dug up the nearby floor. He slightly changed the terrain, enlarged the entrance to the cellar, and built a stone staircase leading to the bottom.
This action quickly attracted a large number of people to watch, and the remaining two constables maintained order and prevented people from approaching casually.
It’s just that people love to watch the fun.
Especially since Lu Sen was dressed in white and looked handsome, he was quickly recognized.
'Wait, that's Master Lu, where is he and what is he doing?'
'Next to them are the constables of Kaifeng Prefecture. The cellar has been greatly enlarged.'
"Is Master Lu going to attack Wuyou Cave?"
"No way, several Kaifeng prefects have sent hundreds of people each time, but they still can't solve the problem. Can Master Lu do it?"
"I am a land immortal, why can't I do that?"
In this way, people were talking about it nearby, and then more people gathered around.
Fortunately, Lu Sen had a great reputation and most people didn't dare to get too close to him, otherwise, with only four constables, there would be no way to maintain order.
Time passed little by little, and Lu Sen stood there, with his hands in his sleeves and his eyes closed.
About an hour later, the sun set and it was almost evening.
During this boring time, the onlookers not only did not disperse, but more and more people gathered together.
Not many people are fools. Even a big shot like Master Lu is standing here waiting, so there must be something big to see.
After a while, there was a sudden noise from deep in the sewer. Not long after, Zhan Zhao came out with several constables.
There were a lot of blood stains on his sky blue robe. As soon as he came out, he said to the four constables, "Zhao Hu, quickly inform Bao Fuyin and ask him to send more people to help. The situation is very troublesome."
The constable nodded, immediately squeezed out of the crowd and ran towards Kaifeng Prefecture.
Lu Sen squatted down and asked Zhan Zhao, who was still standing in the sewer: "Xiong Fei, what's the situation?"
"It was a den. We rescued dozens of women and boys. More than half of the victims were in extremely bad health and probably won't last long."
When he said this, Zhan Zhao's expression was very angry, almost to the point of becoming ferocious.
The tragic scene below was almost beyond the imagination of this young hero.
After listening to this, Lu Sen immediately took out a few plates from his system backpack, and then took out a dozen pears. He cut each pear into several pieces and arranged them. Then he said, "Have someone feed them these things. If one piece is not enough, feed them a few more. No matter what, keep them alive first."
Zhan Zhao nodded, then rushed into the sewer again with a few constables carrying plates.
Not long after, a large number of constables from Kaifeng Prefecture arrived, first dispersed the idle people, and then a large number of constables entered the sewer holding torches.
Bao Zheng also came. He stood by the cellar and looked for a while, then bowed to Lu Sen.
Lu Sen returned the greeting expressionlessly.
Now is not the time to smile and say hello.
Soon, a large number of constables came out of the sewer carrying dirty people.
Either boys or girls, or women.
Moreover, they were completely naked, each of them was skinny and so dirty that they barely looked like human beings.
Some girls even had white sticky spots on their bodies, emitting a disgusting odor.
When these people were carried out, Bao Zheng's white face, which looked like a jade crown, became so gloomy that it was about to turn into charcoal, and the people around him began to cover their mouths and back away because the stench was so great.
Several people wanted to rush in to see if their missing relatives were inside, but they were stopped by police officers who were maintaining order.
Bao Zheng looked around and said, "All the rescued women and children will be sent to Kaifeng Prefecture for proper placement. If they are too seriously ill, they will be sent to the sanatorium at the foot of the hill for treatment. Neighbors who have lost their relatives before can go to Kaifeng Prefecture to identify each other in two days. Now, elders and villagers, please make way and wait for the detectives to send the people back to Kaifeng Prefecture first."
After saying this, the crowd made way for him.
The detectives carried these limp victims and quickly moved towards Kaifeng Prefecture.
The rescue operation lasted until midnight, during which time Zhan Zhao fought off two waves of beggars who wanted to rob people in the sewer.
Although he was not familiar with the terrain, with the detector given by Lu Sen, he could still figure out from which direction the people were coming.
Around early morning, almost all the victims sent to Kaifeng Prefecture survived.
After eating the fruit slices provided by Lu Sen, most people felt better and were able to speak and tell their identities.
But there were still a dozen or so who were in a trance, with their eyes half-opened and motionless, as if they were dead.
Their physical injuries had actually healed, but their hearts were broken, and there was nothing Lu Sen could do about it.
Staying in Kaifeng Prefecture, Lu Sen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that everyone was fine for the time being and was about to leave.
At this time, Bao Zheng came over, clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "Thank you, Master Lu, for saving the people from danger."
"It should be done." Lu Sen smiled and said, "Just Bao Fuyin, there is one thing you have to understand. I will continue to follow up on this matter slowly, but you have to help me block the interests involved."
Bao Zheng was stunned at first, then his face showed anger: "I have long been fed up with the intrigues in the court. I couldn't find evidence before, but now whoever dares to jump out, I will definitely crush him to death."
After saying this, Bao Zheng clenched his right hand heavily, as if he had imagined that he had already crushed someone's head.
Looking at Bao Zheng with murderous intent, Lu Sen smiled, feeling quite happy.
If we were to say who among the civil servants had the strongest murderous nature, it would not be those who had built forts on the border or served as military supervisors, but Bao Zheng.
He had been a local official for thirty years, and he had tried countless cases. During this period, he had personally thrown the token and ordered the execution of at least three hundred criminals, if not five hundred.
So when Bao Zheng got angry, his murderous intent was almost the same as Di Qing's.
Lu Sen bowed, left Kaifeng Prefecture and returned to Aishan.
After soaking in the hot spring for an hour and feeling that there was no odor on his body, Lu Sen returned to bed and hugged Yang Jinhua's soft body to rest.
And the next day, the city of Bianjing was in turmoil.
