Ye Ming didn't know whether the City God's Temple would spare the life of the female prostitute, but this time Lei Ling undoubtedly showed her face in front of the City God here and gained a lot of favor.
Winning the favor of the local city god is undoubtedly a good thing, at least it will not be focused on, although the city god does not have enough manpower to pay attention to this now.
Early the next morning, Ye Ming set up a stall beside the donkey cart, and two children guarded it together.
The people here seem to be particularly dissatisfied with the current situation, and there are many people seeking immortality and fortune-telling.
There are even people who are so poor that they can hardly afford to eat, so they still collect five copper coins to ask for fortune-telling, hoping that good luck will come to them.
But unfortunately, good luck did not come.
That is to say, Ye Ming should speak more tactfully, otherwise he will definitely be beaten.
After calculating for about an hour, I earned a lot of copper coins.
At this time, I suddenly heard a few shouts, and a group of people who looked like city guards came swaggeringly. The people around them quickly got out of the way.
The leading soldier glanced at the money basin in front of Ye Ming. There were a lot of copper coins in it, including hundreds of coins.
Seeing the money, the leader made eye contact with the deputy beside him.
The deputy understood, took a step forward, and walked to Ye Ming:
"Blind man, Master Jun, I also want to tell fortunes!"
"What does the military master want to do?"
"Calculating fortune."
"Master Jun has good fortune and will get a sum of money soon."
"Oh~~where is the money?"
"Right in front of you."
With that said, Ye Ming pointed to the money basin in front of him.
Seeing this, the deputy looked at Ye Ming with a look that said he was sensible and wanted to take the money.
Seeing this, the team leader on the side slapped him, glanced at the people on the surrounding streets, walked up to Ye Ming, and said:
"Master Jun, how can we take people's money for free? You blind man is a wise man. You can always set up a stall here from now on. If anyone dares to embarrass you, come to us at the City Patrol Department and we will help you deal with him!"
After hearing what the team leader said, the others understood that they didn't want to make things look too ugly, so they also gave a few words of assurance.
When Ye Ming heard this, he looked like "tears of gratitude".
"Since the military masters have said so, I will definitely trouble you military masters if I have anything to do!"
A group of city patrol soldiers thought that Ye Ming was talking nonsense and did not think that Ye Ming really dared to go to them. They took the money in the money basin and went to eat and drink.
Maisui saw that all the money she had worked hard for all morning was taken away by these soldiers. She was very angry and wanted to hit people with stones.
Ye Ming stretched out his hand to hold her and said with a smile:
"This money is for them, so don't cause any trouble."
Maisui didn't understand this. She just felt that her money was gone and that she had no support for her life.
Ye Ming pointed to the wild fruits and said to Maisui:
"Don't worry, our real money bag is in the hands of your wife."
Hearing this, Maisui looked at Ye Guo, who nodded and pointed to the inside of the thick cloth.
Knowing that the money was still there, Maisui felt relieved, but she still didn't like those soldiers and gangsters.
Ye Ming didn't take it seriously and continued to tell fortunes.
Soon, Ye Ming became famous in the city for his accurate fortune-telling skills, and many people came here to ask him to tell fortunes.
No one will be refused at night, as long as they give money, they will give him divination.
By the time it got dark in the afternoon, I had accumulated nearly two hundred copper coins.
A group of local gangsters who had been secretly observing Ye Ming in the morning had been waiting for this moment. After confirming that Ye Ming was a blind man and that there were only two children, a cat and a donkey, the group immediately got their ideas flowing and swarmed up. Two of them The man pushed Ye Ming to the ground, and several others came forward and snatched away all the money in the money basin.
After the robbery, a group of people ran away without a trace.
Maisui was a young man. He was knocked to the ground by the gangsters who suddenly rushed out. Now when he saw the group of people running away, he wanted to hit them with the stones in his hands.
But he was stopped again by Ye Ming.
"They're stealing money!"
Maisui was a little anxious. There were so many copper coins, although they were not as valuable as a tael of silver, but seeing so many of them being robbed, she almost cried.
Ye Ming just smiled and said: "Why are you crying? Let's go and find the city patrol officer."
Get on the donkey cart, take the two children, and go to the city patrol department together.
In the middle of the journey, the two children were also covered in ashes.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the City Patrol Division, he was stopped.
"What are you doing? You can come to the city patrol department too? Get out, get out!"
The soldiers guarding the gate were originally very lazy, but when they saw someone coming, they immediately became fierce.
Ye Ming got off the donkey cart and only said that he knew their captain.
When the guard heard this, he no longer dared to act arrogantly, and one of them went in to inform.
The team leader came out and saw that it was Ye Ming. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect anyone to dare to come to the city patrol department.
But he didn't intend to help, and what he said in the morning was just for the occasion.
But when Ye Ming opened his mouth, he realized that ten taels of silver had been taken away, which made the team leader change his mind and take the initiative to ask.
Ye Ming pointed to the wild fruit and asked her to tell the leader what those ruffians looked like.
Ye Guo was a little afraid of the team leader, so he hesitated and talked about the characteristics of those ruffians.
When the team leader heard this, he immediately knew who it was.
They all hang out in the city, and those gangsters are usually blackmailed by these "military lords". Unexpectedly, this time they actually hit the point of a gun.
After hearing Ye Ming say that he had ten taels of silver, the team leader immediately decided to take people to deal with these guys.
A team of people from the City Patrol Department were dispatched, and they were very familiar with finding the gangsters. They found a few of them in a short time.
But a few gangsters only said that they had robbed some copper coins and had already spent them. They had never seen the money at all, and they all accused Ye Ming of lying.
Ye Ming said that he was indeed robbed of ten taels of silver, which were all broken pieces of silver. A circle was carved on the bottom of each piece of silver with a knife.
Seeing that Ye Ming said he had a nose and eyes, it didn't sound like he was lying, and the team leader didn't want to go in vain, so he immediately ordered his brothers to search the house forcibly. Several gangsters were very reluctant, but there was nothing they could do.
Not long after, someone found money from the ruffians' homes.
They are all broken silver, and each piece has a circle engraved on it.
When the team leader saw the silver, his eyes lit up, and he took the silver to confront the gangsters.
The gangsters were horrified when they saw the money. The money was not stolen from them, but was kept secretly by themselves. They planned to escape after saving enough money. How could it become the blind man's money?
There are actually circles on it.
The gangsters couldn't defend themselves, but it was useless no matter how much they complained. They were all taken away by the team leader.
The leader took the silver, looked at Ye Ming and said:
"There are still doubts about this case. The money is regarded as stolen goods and cannot be returned to you for the time being."
With that said, he stuffed all the money into his pocket.
Ye Ming didn't mind either. He pulled the leader aside and said with a smile:
"Master Jun, it was not easy for me this day, whether it was wind or rain, I just wanted to make some money.
Do you think this is a good idea? You allow me to go to the military camp to tell fortunes. Then we can split the money we earn 30-70. How about you 70-70? "
When the team leader heard this, his eyes lit up and he looked at Ye Ming as if he had seen a treasure.
"Okay, no problem, you come to me tomorrow and I will take you to the military camp to tell your fortune.
Don't worry, I know several centurions in the military camp very well. If you tell fortunes, you will definitely make money.
If there is that bastard who dares not to pay, I will smash his head in! "
After chatting with the team leader for a few more words, the two of them immediately became as good as brothers.
Through small talk, I learned that the leader was also a centurion with a surname of Xiao.
After the two agreed, they dispersed.
Logically speaking, those who can reach the level of Centurion are generally not too poor.
But that also depends on what kind of centurion they are. These centurions are all without any background. Those children of military generals and noble families usually hold the title of centurion, but they almost never go to the military camp. Living a life of wealth and wealth is not comparable to them.
After returning to the inn in the evening, Mai Sui sat on the bedside angrily. She was very unhappy with Ye Ming's behavior today. She felt very angry especially when she saw Ye Ming and Team Leader Xiao calling themselves brothers.
Why should you be friends with a person who robs you of your money?
Yeguo didn't dare to offend either side, and he also sat by the bed, not daring to speak.
Seeing Mai Sui's angry look, Ye Ming smiled and gave her a "shudder", which made Mai Sui glare at her angrily.
"At such a young age, the situation is too small, so we need to open it up a bit."
Ye Ming joked.
Maisui ignored him, hugged Yeguo domineeringly, and fell asleep.
"Why do you even bully a child? You are so inhumane!"
Lei Ling was speechless at Ye Ming's evil intentions. If she hadn't been unable to defeat him, she would have wanted to deal with this big devil.
Early the next morning, Ye Ming walked to Xancheng Division alone, leaving wheat ears and wild fruits at the inn.
Anyway, with Lei Ling watching, nothing will happen.
When they arrived at the gate of the City Patrol Division, before the guard could send a message, Leader Xiao went out as enthusiastically as if he had seen his half-brother. He took Ye Ming's hand, asked Ye Ming to get on his horse, and took Ye Ming to the military camp with him. That feeling, I'm afraid that if I go too slowly, I won't be able to make any money.
The military camp was in a plain area five miles outside the city. The weather was so cold that it made people shiver.
From a distance, this military camp looks pretty good under the white snow, giving it the feeling of a military powerhouse.
But when I saw it up close, this impression was immediately dispelled.
The armament in the military camp was extremely lax. In the middle of winter, there were only a few sergeants standing guard with weapons in a symbolic manner.
People in the camp were either sleeping in tents or gathering together to gamble.
You can hear a group of people laughing and cursing from a distance, showing no military discipline at all.
"Brother Yang, let me tell you, this 'Shishou Camp' is the strongest garrison outside Shoushui City. No bandit or gangster can be their opponent. Even the militia groups in some villages and towns dare not say that they will win." them......"
Leader Xiao boasted to Ye Ming about the "brilliant achievements" of this "Shishou Camp". The most recent time was two years ago, when 300 people were dispatched and successfully defeated a bandit team of more than 20 people.
This battle fully demonstrated the high combat level of "Shishou Camp" and the strong combat power of the sergeants, making them the well-deserved number one elite in Shoushui City.
"Oh, 'Shishouying' is so powerful, I wonder which general he serves under?"
"General? Brother, I'm afraid to scare you if I tell you. 'Shishou Camp' does not serve any general, but serves the Duke of the country!"
"Which Duke?"
"The current Duke of Shou! This Duke is the first person to sit in Shoushui City, and he is a descendant of the founding general Wu Mou!
Shishouying's current combat effectiveness is all due to the cultivation of the Duke! "
After Leader Xiao praised Duke Shou for a while, the two of them had already arrived at the military camp.
After getting off the horse, Leader Xiao took Ye Ming to find some centurions to clear things up.
The centurions were drinking and gambling in a tent. After hearing about Leader Xiao's purpose, their eyes immediately changed when they looked at Ye Ming, and they all regarded him as a cash cow.
There was a centurion who believed in fortune telling and asked Ye Ming to calculate it for him. As a result, Ye Ming's words were exactly in line with his experience, and he was immediately respected.
With the cooperation of these centurions, it became easy for Ye Ming to tell fortunes in the military camp.
Moreover, these black-hearted centurions directly forced all the soldiers to come to have their fortunes told. If anyone did not cooperate, they would be beaten and kicked.
Ye Ming turned a blind eye to their actions. Anyway, he was just a blind man, he just wanted to tell his fortune.
The reason why Ye Ming did this was of course not because he really wanted to make money. He did it because he wanted to find someone.
Find a person who is evil to the core.
