Riding the Pheonix Chapter 193: Dark

Mother Tong is an elder of the Ji family. When they met Mrs. Ji, they held their heads and cried bitterly. ()

Ms. Dong comforted her for a while before she calmed down.

The next step is to arrange luggage and manpower.

Mother Tong brought a lot of people. Fortunately, Mingwei bought the house next door in advance, so it was possible to live there.

That night, Mingwei told them his plan.

"Mommy, I want to cancel my marriage to my fifth cousin. However, my uncle's family are all good people. As long as my uncle doesn't drive me away, we will stay in the Ji family in the future, okay?"

Nanny Tong was very pleased: "The young lady is close to my uncle's family, and it's too late for me to be happy. As for the marriage, the young lady makes her own decision."

Actually, Nanny Tong felt it was a pity that the Ji family had such a good family tradition that it was difficult to find them even with a lantern. However, the young lady has her own ideas, and she doesn't mess around.

"Su Jie, Bing Xin."

Hearing her call, the two girls stepped forward: "My slave is here."

"My mother said before she was alive that you are old and it's time to get married, but I want to give you a choice."

Mingwei motioned to Duofu to take out the box.

The two girls were a little uneasy.

The box opened, revealing a thick stack of real estate deeds and banknotes.

"This is the property that my cousin won for me, and it is also the capital for us to settle down in the future. If you want to get married, I will ask my aunt to choose a good family for you, and then give you a generous dowry, and I will never be a slave again. . If you don’t want to get married now, I want to ask you to help me take charge of these properties, but you have to think carefully. Choosing this path will not be easy. You have to show your face and take care of things like men."

A few people did not expect that she would say these words, and were stunned for a moment.

It is not unusual for a close maid to help manage the property. But Mingwei specifically mentioned the issue of marriage, which was obviously not an ordinary matter.

Bing Xin was bold and asked bluntly: "Miss, you said like a man, how exactly do you mean it?"

"That is to say, I will not treat you as maids in the future, but as assistants. You recognize Awan and know what she does with Mr. Yang, right?"

Sujie thought for a while: "But Miss Awan knows martial arts and medical skills, but neither Bing Xin nor I can."

Ming smiled and said: "Who is born with these things? You are only teenagers, you can learn it now. Of course, you don't need to learn martial arts and medical skills like Awan, I just use her as an example."

The two girls looked at each other, and Bing Xin was eager to give it a try: "Miss, I am willing to stay with you, and I am also willing to learn."

Su Jie also said: "This slave is used to following the young lady."

Mingwei nodded: "In that case, I will start making arrangements. Mammy, you will be in charge of this box for now. They can't afford it now, so you can give me some guidance first."

Mother Tong readily agreed: "My slaves can still move now and know a little about outside things. I will try my best to teach them in the future."

Ming Wei smiled: "Mommy, don't tire yourself, let's take our time."

After arranging these things, Nanny Tong took Bing Xin Sujie and left.

I hesitate to say what a blessing it is.

"What can you do?" Mingwei saw through her thoughts.

Duofu lowered his head: "My slave, my slave knows that it is not easy for me to show up..."

Ming smiled: "You are not easy to show off, but it's not because of your face."

Doufu has always had low self-esteem because of the birthmark on his face. Especially going to the academy caused the young lady to be laughed at.

"Duofu, you are careful and capable, but not good at words, so I won't ask you to do those things that are public. But think about it, have I taught them mystical arts?"

Duofu raised his head, with confusion on his face.

"Not everyone can be a Xuanshi." Mingwei said, "What I have to do in the future will be extremely difficult and dangerous, and only you can help me."

Duofu understood and became happy: "Don't worry, miss, I will practice hard!"

Ming smiled and nodded, reminding her: "You haven't looked in the mirror much recently, have you? Your birthmark is lighter than before."

……

Late at night, a figure flew over the courtyard wall.

"What do you want from me?"

Mingwei was absorbing the moon essence when he heard the voice and opened his eyes: "I have something to ask you."

Yang Shu sat down on the roof: "Tell me."

"How much do you know about human trafficking in Beijing?"

Yang Shu was stunned for a moment: "Why are you suddenly interested in this matter?"

Ming Wei said: "One of my classmates got lost last night. I asked Lei Hong and he said that there was a high possibility of being abducted."

"Oh." Yang Shu said, "Public security is the matter of the governor, and we at the Imperial City Department have nothing to do with it. However, we spy on intelligence and have some contact with those who are shady. There is indeed a dark underground world in the capital. The governors of all dynasties will crack down on the clean-up, but you know, those who do this must have backers, intertwined interests, and tips, so it is difficult to root out."

"So, you know how to enter this underground world?"

Yang Shu looked at her warily: "What are you doing? Don't mess around! It's very dangerous."

In order to dispel her thoughts, he said: "Gao Huan led people to search the hole last night and found that it was connected to the underground waterway. The bones we saw yesterday are probably related to those shady people."

Unexpectedly, what he said made Mingwei even more interested: "So, is it still a thing? What action is Master Jiang taking?"

"Hey!" Why are you getting more and more enthusiastic with the persuasion?

Mingwei reassured: "Don't worry, I won't mess around until I figure things out."

Yang Shu squinted at her: "Does that mean you're going to mess around after you figure it out?"

"How could you misunderstand my words so much?"

"Haha." Yang Shu didn't believe her at all.

He advised earnestly: "The forces in the capital are so complicated that neither Jiang Wenfeng nor I dare to take action rashly, let alone you."

Mingwei said: "I know you don't dare to take action rashly, so I took action. That girl is very friendly to me, and I can't ignore this friendship. You should know that a girl like her is abducted~IndoMTL. com~ Something might happen to her. If she really falls into that situation, her life will be over."

Yang Shu understood that a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old girl who fell into the hands of a kidnapper basically had only one use. The only difference was who she would be sold to. If you are lucky, you can sell them to others as wives and concubines. Bad luck, it's that kind of dirty place.

Either way, this life will be ruined.

"Even so, you don't have to do it yourself. Miss Wen is also lost, and the prince will not sit idly by."

Mingwei shook his head: "Instead of expecting others, it is better to rely on yourself."

She added: "I came to you because I was afraid that if I acted rashly, I would delay Mr. Jiang's affairs. So I need to understand your situation first and make sure there is no conflict before I take action."

Yang Shu stared at her for a long time and sighed helplessly: "There's nothing we can do about you. Let's put it this way, Lei Hong is trying to catch a few kidnappers and get information from them. You know, Jiang Wenfeng I have just taken office, and many hidden clues have not yet been laid, so this matter cannot be rushed."

Mingwei nodded: "I understand, it does not conflict with my plan."
