Wait a minute, heroine

Chapter 19 Black Yamen

The rising sun is rising in the east, and the distant morning bell is ringing in the huge city. The area around Mingyu Tower is already crowded with countless wanderers from all over the world who are making a living.

Ye Jingtang rode a black horse through the bustling streets and stopped outside the Wubian Yamen near Mingyu Tower.

The Black Yamen is quite large. There is a small square outside the main entrance. There is a flagpole on it, but instead of hanging the flag, it is a place where people's heads are hung. There is even a special word in Jianghu, called "Heiya Yamen with hanging heads".

The Black Yamen is known as the 'Palace of the King of Hell' and belongs to the 'Prince's Private Guard'. It is not within the six-department structure and does not accept lawsuits for questioning. Normally no one comes to visit, and there are only two police officers standing guard outside the door.

Ye Jingtang handed over his waistband and was invited through the door.

Inside the gate is a normal lobby, with squad rooms on the left and right, but no place to receive guests.

After waiting for a while behind the screen wall, two people walked out from the back of the lobby, led by 'Bai Wuchang' Shang Jianli. Different from yesterday's Jianghu guest, he was wearing a blue robe.

By the way, nicknames such as "Bai Wuchang" and "Six Evils" were given by Jianghu people. The original intention was derogatory, but because of their strong hard power, they became honorifics.

Shang Jianli was a serious military officer, enjoying a fourth-grade salary. He most likely wouldn't like the title of "impermanence for life". He wore a cyan robe instead of white, probably to avoid suspicion.

Following Shang Jianli was the bearded Wang Chihu, who waved politely from a distance:

"Brother Ye, you are really unjust. You pretended to be poor for me two days ago, but the result is great. The entire Tianshui Bridge belongs to your family. Fortunately, I still want to help you..."

Ye Jingtang stepped forward and bowed his hands: "Sir, Mr. Wang Qi, why do you guys come out to welcome guests in person? It's really embarrassing."

Wang Chihu said with a smile: "It's good to know how to defeat evil spirits. As the eldest young master of the Pei family, She Baotou was injured by you. If you don't go to Jinping Tower and order a dozen girls to wait on you, do you still want to hang out in the capital in the future?"

"It's natural. I accidentally injured Mr. She yesterday and I haven't had time to apologize yet. Why don't we invite Mr. She up now and sit at the Jinping Tower?"

After looking around for a while as he spoke, Ye Jingtang realized that Shang Jianli was very young, in his early thirties at most.

The masters of the family become more and more sophisticated as they get older. It is terrifying to be able to achieve a reputation that scares people in the world at this young age.

Shang Jianli's temperament was quite cold, but when facing Ye Jingtang, he still showed a smile:

"I'm not good at drinking and lasciviousness. She Long has to recover from his injuries for a few days. After the office is dismissed, Mr. Ye can just accompany Wang Zongqi. Mr. Ye is here, but he wants to see Prince Jing?"

"How can I, a commoner, dare to alarm Prince Jing? Prince Jing appreciates me, and I came here today to try my best to see if my martial arts skills can help the court."

"oh?"

When Shang Jianli heard this, his eyes showed approval, and he led Ye Jingtang directly to the back office:

"Prince Jing will be pleased to know that Mr. Ye has this intention. The world outside is too big, and the powers of the black yamen are not clear. All the dirty and tiring work that cannot be handled by the Fasi Yamen is thrown at the head of the black yamen. The catchers of the yamen are I really can’t run away..."

After chatting for only a few words, Shang Jianli led Ye Jingtang into a main hall.

There are several rows of bookshelves in the hall, and the walls on the west side are all covered with 'wanted posters'. It is estimated that there are nearly a hundred people. The name of 'Xue Baijin' is written on the single empty one at the top.

The name was a bit unfamiliar, but Ye Jingtang took a brief look at the content and was shocked - Xue Baijin, nicknamed 'Pingtian Cult Leader'.

The Pingtian Jiao Night Terror Hall is a thunderous organization established by the remnants of the previous dynasty. It defends Nanxiao Mountain and refuses to surrender after sixty years of annihilation.

The leader of Pingtian, ranked first in the Eight Chiefs and fourth in the world, is known as the "invincible under the mountain". He has no rivals in the world, and the only ones he can't defeat are the three old monsters who cultivate immortality on the mountain.

Standing in front of the wall, Ye Jingtang looked at the wanted notice for Leader Pingtian and felt that it was just a decoration.

Wang Chihu, who was behind, probably saw what Ye Jingtang meant, and joked:

"Master Ji Zang shook his head when he saw this thing. No one dared to pick it up. Brother Ye, want to try it?"

"The people hanging on this wall are all heavenly soldiers and generals. I can't afford to mess with the ones at the bottom. Mr. Wang Qi, stop joking."

"People must be ambitious."

Wang Chihu sighed: "This thief, Master Pingtian, is not a kind person. The former most beautiful woman in the world, the Goddess of Toad Palace, was highly skilled in martial arts and chivalrous, and had countless admirers in the world. She was dressed in blue and gliding under the moon." His peerless style has captivated countless knights, and to this day women in the world love green clothes more than red clothes..."

Ye Jingtang had never heard of this allusion and asked curiously:

"This heroine was harmed by the leader of Pingtian?"

"If it hurts me, I still respect Xue Baijin for not being moved by beauty. According to rumors, the 'Goddess of Toad Palace' is a chivalrous and righteous person. She accidentally met the leader of Pingtian, and then became the wife of the leader."

"Did Leader Pingtian kidnap someone back?"

Shang Jianli stood beside him, shook his head and said:

"Don't listen to the rumors in the world. The Pingtian Sect clings to Nanxiao Mountain and refuses to surrender. It stubbornly wants to regain the former dynasty. It is true that it is an unforgivable traitor, but it does occupy the word 'loyalty', otherwise The Pingtian Sect will not be sought after by so many people in the world. How can such a tyrant do the dirty deed of robbing women?"

Ye Jingtang thought about it and nodded.

Shang Jianli might be afraid of misunderstanding in Ye Jingtang, so he explained:

"Of course, I'm not saying that Master Pingtian is a good person. He is just a little more ethical than the 'green bandits' who are full of evil. To the court, they are all unforgivable traitors. If all the people in the rivers and lakes are like Yuxu If Shan and Junshan Terrace were loyal to the imperial court like this, or if they were as peaceful as Honghua Tower and Shuiyun Jiantan, the world would have been at peace long ago."

Wang Chihu next to him was quite courageous and said directly:

"Those who know that those in power are unfair and unkind, but dare not use force to violate the prohibition, are not worthy of the word 'Xia'. If everyone can eat and drink well, how many people will hang their heads in their belts and wander around the world? In my opinion, Jianghu People are overflowing and disobeying control. The problem lies in the first three rows of Tai Chi Hall. We can’t blame the Jianghu people for having backbones.”

? !

This is no longer chatting to death, but chatting to death about people.

Shang Jianli turned around and walked away, as if he didn't hear anything.

Ye Jingtang was stunned and asked bravely:

"May I ask, Mr. Wang, who is your commander?"

Wang Chihu looked proud: "My father, Prince Yin, Prince Jing is my cousin. Isn't he powerful?"

Ye Jingtang really didn't notice it. No wonder he was so unafraid of death. He cupped his hands and said:

"It's amazing, but I'm ignorant."

"Where, where..."

Shang Jianli must have been used to Wang Chihu's outrageous words and deeds for a long time. He came to the books, took out a pile of files, and handed them to Ye Jingtang:

"Young Master Ye, these are the errands that the Hei Yamen are doing. They are all under the jurisdiction of Yunzhou. You can choose as you like. Young Master Ye is not from the Hei Yamen. According to the rules, after completing the errands, the silver reward will be sent directly to the house. The credit is only If it can be recorded in Shang’s name, please don’t mind Mr. Ye.”

This word means 'outsourcing', because the Wei Dynasty was overpopulated with people and the yamen were short of manpower. Such things were actually very common, and 'reward orders' were one of them.

Ye Jingtang came to the Hei Yamen just to manage the relationship. Talking without practice would definitely not work, so he immediately took a stack of files to check...

Shang Jianli is so rude, it’s all a big case!

Those who commit crimes basically have nicknames, such as "heart-cutting hand", "skin-peeling scholar" and so on. At first glance, they are the devils of the world. The evaluation of martial arts from behind is either "first-rate master, suspected grandmaster", or "cruel-hearted, cunning, Treat it with caution'.

After flipping through a few photos of Night Terror Hall, his expression became slightly embarrassed:

"Is there anything simpler? I just came out of the society... ahem... just came out of the world, these jobs are probably..."

Shang Jianli got a 'ghost slap on the shoulder': "Young Master Ye almost took off She Long's arm. He is not a master, but he is not far from a master. Let him catch a thief who is rewarded with a few taels of silver. It would be too unfair to the master. Hei Yamen There is no such simple errand. Come here, just pick one. If it is completed, it will eliminate harm for the people. If it is not completed, it is okay."

Ye Jingtang bravely dug through it, and finally found a thief - the Yanzhou thief 'Wingless Owl', who has extraordinary dexterity and low combat power. According to the tip, he recently came to the capital and secretly infiltrated the 'Imperial Monument' where historical materials are stored. Ge' seems to be looking for something and should still be in the capital.

The Wingless Owl has a few lives on its hands, and is wanted by the black government for this reason. However, those who can be a 'thief' will probably not be too exaggerated in their combat prowess, and their risk level will be low.

Ye Jingtang originally wanted to take it, but then he took a closer look at his resume - the Wingless Owl's most famous achievement was stealing the Yanshan Jieyun Palace!

The Night Terror Hall was all shocked. They never expected that there would be thieves in the world who could steal things to the head of the Eight Great Leaders.

This person is not dangerous, but a fierce man who dares to steal from Jieyun Palace and still get away with it can be caught so easily?

Other cases were much riskier than this one. I looked through it twice in the Night Terror Hall. It was not easy for me to get involved. It seemed that this was the case. I thought about it and took out the file of 'Wingless Owl':

"I don't have much fighting experience. Let's try this. If you can't catch it, I hope you get hurt. Don't blame me."

"The Yamen is also investigating. Mr. Ye just needs to do his best. Even if he can't be caught, if he can find his whereabouts, the reward will not be small."

"Alive or dead?"

"The gangsters who can be hunted by the black yamen are all involved in major crimes and are dangerous and cunning. Except for some people with special status, if others can be killed on the spot, do not hold back. In the past, the yamen was destroyed because of this. Young brother, Young Master Ye must not be merciful."

Ye Jingtang nodded slightly, finished his errands, and continued:

"I am quite passionate about swordsmanship. Yesterday, Mr. Shang mentioned the 'Tianhe Sword' Qiu Tianhe. I heard that he is a master of swordsmanship. I wonder if it is inconvenient for you..."

Shang Jianli had seen Ye Jingtang's sword skills yesterday, and it was not surprising that he was curious about the master of sword skills in the world.

Ye Jingtang's family background was clear. He was in the black office, and he was not afraid of him robbing and killing prisoners. Shang Jianli turned around and led the way:

"Let's go and take Young Master Ye to see him. Qiu Tianhe is a famous master of swordsmanship in the world. If he can give Young Master Ye a few words of advice, it will be of great benefit to Young Master Ye."

Ye Jingtang didn't expect Shang Jianli to be so straightforward, so he immediately followed behind, cupping his hands and saying:

"Thank you Sir for the convenience."

"It takes a little effort, but it doesn't matter."
