Ye Yutong had seen a secret room similar to this one in Tongxuan Mansion, so he didn't think it was strange.
I felt a little excited.
"Tongtong, you walk behind me."
Li Yunze held her with one hand and held a knife in the other.
Ye Yutong took out a flashlight from the space. The two of them walked down the stairs of the secret room.
This basement is not very big, visually measuring four or five square meters, with several large and small wooden boxes.
Li Yunze opened the box with a knife. Inside were some gold and silver ingots, as well as various jewelry, calligraphy and paintings.
"With so much money, that old witch has done so many unscrupulous things."
Although Ye Yutong is happy to see the money, we also know that it is not clean money.
"Ping An, why don't we kill that old witch? We'll save her from harming others in the future."
Li Yunze covered all the boxes and nodded, "Okay, you put these things away first, and we will wait for her in the room."
Ye Yutong put away the things, and the two restored the darkroom to its original state. Just sit in the room and wait for the old witch to come in.
But what they were waiting for was not an old witch, but a middle-aged man.
As soon as the man opened the door, he felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to retreat, Li Yunze quickly pulled him in.
A hand knife struck him, and the middle-aged man lost consciousness.
Ye Yutong knew him, he was the man who went to the cellar to look after the child just now.
The man who should be the old witch must be involved in the sale of children.
"Ping An, this one is also a bad guy, let's kill him."
"good."
Li Yunze broke his neck without any hesitation.
But after waiting for a while, the old witch didn't come in.
Ye Yutong looked at the time. It was already two o'clock in the morning, and the originally lively courtyard gradually became quiet.
Just as the two were getting impatient, the old witch came in yawning.
Li Yunze didn't give her any chance to speak. After she entered the door, he sent her to see the King of Hell.
After dealing with the pair of demons, the two left the brothel.
They didn't enter the space and went straight out of the city.
Ye Yutong thought regretfully that there was no way to get so much cloth ordered during the day.
It's not that I feel bad about the deposit, it's just that it's too difficult to buy supplies now, and only the capital is more complete.
The two went directly to the nearby mountains.
The time agreed upon with Uncle Shitou was the night of the third day.
It's only the second day. We can only take these children to stay in the mountains for a day and then meet them in the evening.
Ye Yutong released these children and untied them.
Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingzhe took turns feeding them some well water.
When they all woke up, it was already dark.
The group of children huddled together and looked at them timidly.
The handsome man stood up and cupped his hands towards them, "Thank you young masters for saving me. My name is Song Yichen, and my father is Song Jingwen, the mountain chief of the famous academy.
I don't have much money now, so I can't thank you all. I wonder if you can leave your contact information so that I can thank you in the future. "
Li Yunze narrowed his eyes and asked: "Song Jingwen of the famous academy? The Song family of Fengcheng?"
"Exactly, the leader of the Song clan is my grandfather."
"Then why are you here? And you are locked up in the basement of the brothel."
The Song family in Fengcheng is the head of the four major families in Yunchao Kingdom.
The Famous Academy is even more remarkable. It is full of talented people and scholars. It is every student's dream to go there to study.
Two of the teachers his uncle hired for him came from the famous academy of the Song family in Fengcheng.
Song Yichen smiled sarcastically, "My second uncle and I went to Linyang City for a funeral, but he pushed us off a cliff on the way. We were lucky enough to survive, but by some strange combination of circumstances, we were caught in a brothel by the old witch."
His father is the next head of the Song clan.
My mother was injured when she gave birth to him, and she never got pregnant again. My mother wants to take a concubine for my father, but my father does not agree.
The two are childhood sweethearts who grew up together and have a very good relationship.
If something happened to him, my mother would definitely not be able to bear the blow.
Even if Dad takes a concubine now, it is not certain whether he will be able to give birth to a son.
The second uncle's wife and concubines have four sons together. If you think about it, you will know what his plan is.
Li Yunze understood it as soon as he heard it. He didn't inquire about other people's private affairs, he just asked:
"Then what are you going to do now? There are disaster victims everywhere on the road. I'm afraid it's not safe for you to travel alone."
Song Yichen was silent for a moment and asked: "Young masters, I wonder where you are going?
My eldest sister is getting married in Jinzhou. If I come along, could you please ask a few gentlemen to give me a lift? I will be very grateful when I get there. "
After saying that, he bowed deeply to Li Yunze.
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong looked at each other and both felt that this opportunity was rare and they must make him owe this favor.
Ye Yutong pretended to be unbearable and said: "Ping An, this young master is so pitiful, how about we give him a ride?"
When Ye Mingxuan heard him talk about Fengcheng Fengcheng Academy, his thoughts moved.
When they were on the mountain, Master Zhou told them many deeds that made the academy famous. It is said that many officials in the DPRK came from there.
If this Song Yichen is really the son of the famous Academy Headmaster, then this brother-in-law will be a great help in the future.
He also echoed his sister's words: "This young master was left in the middle of the road by his uncle. His parents don't know how worried they are. Brother-in-law, how about we send him off!"
Li Yunze had no choice but to agree, "Then let us go first! Send Mr. Song to Jinzhou before we talk!"
Song Yichen said gratefully, "Thank you so much, brothers. I'll keep this favor in mind. If you ever need me in the future, just ask. As long as I, Song Yichen, can do it, I won't hesitate."
"Hey, you're being polite."
Ye Mingxuan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "We sent you there because we were afraid that your elders would be worried. We didn't do it to make you grateful to us."
One is interested in making friends, the other is grateful. After a while, the two of them started calling themselves brothers and said they wanted to become brothers of the opposite sex.
Ye Mingzhe was talking to the children.
By the time Ye Yutong and Li Yunze passed by, he had already found out the life experiences of these children.
These are all farm children, the oldest is thirteen years old and the youngest is just seven years old.
Some of them were sold by elders in the family, and some were robbed.
Ye Yutong asked them: "What are your plans in the future?"
The children shook their heads in confusion.
In such a world, they have no money and no food, where can they go?
I'm afraid that as soon as I go out, I will be treated like a two-legged sheep.
Ye Yutong looked at their expressions and said straightforwardly without any nonsense:
"Our family lives in the mountains, and there is no shortage of food there. You can follow us, but you have to do farm work in the mountains.
If you don't want to go, I'll give you some food, and you can make your own way from now on. "
The older boy said: "Sir, my sister and I will follow you. I am strong and can also do farm work.
As long as you don't despise us two brothers and sisters, I will be a cow and a horse for you from now on. I only hope that you can give my sister something to eat. "
