Abuse reformation

Ye Huai didn't want to delve into Xiao Huoya's magical brain circuit.

After eating, he wanted to go out for a walk to digest food, but suddenly he saw a few pigeons outside the yard.

"These pigeons are..."

Xiao Huoya, who was clearing the table, looked up immediately after hearing this, and said with a smile, "That's a carrier pigeon raised by Ma Ye, specially for the brothers who are going down the mountain to deliver news."

"...That's it."

Ye Huai turned around, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.

"Mr. Ye asked this for what?" Xiao Huoya was a little puzzled.

"It's nothing, I just saw that the pigeons are quite fat. I thought that roasted pigeons should taste good."

Hearing this, Xiao Kuoya's expression suddenly became flustered, "These pigeons can't be roasted pigeons! If Master Ma knows, then..."

"Don't worry, I'm just talking casually, I won't really eat it."

Hearing this, Xiao Huoya breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"Mr. Ye, if you really want to eat roasted squab, I will ask the brother in charge of purchasing to buy one for you someday. Those pigeons must not be moved."

Ye Huai smiled, "Understood."

After the sun went down, Ye Huai washed up and went to bed early as usual, and waited for Cheng Shi's routine work report by the way.

However, before his subordinates came to his house, an uninvited guest came to his residence.

Seeing Ye Huai in pajamas, Ma Ye's eyes flashed with surprise, "Mr. Ye is planning to go to bed?"

Ye Huai was bending over to make the bed, and a gentle smile appeared on his gentle face when he heard the sound, "Yeah, Mayor is looking for me for something?"

"Mr. Ye really has a clever plan."

Ye Huai blinked his eyes when he heard this, and in a split second he had a calculation in his heart.

"I don't know why Ma Ye asked Ye Mou?"

Seeing Master Ma smiled, he sat down at the table and poured a glass of water, "Mr. Ye's place is very lively these past few days. I saw that many people in the village came to you to tell their fortunes."

"It's all brothers' affection." Ye Huai replied modestly.

"Oh, you can't say that." Master Ma waved his hands and said, "This is all Mr. Ye's ability. Mr. Ye is so talented at such a young age. I think he will make great achievements in the future."

Looking at the pockmarked and creased face in front of him, Ye Huai, who is a mildly phobic patient, instinctively felt a little uncomfortable.Still, lip service has to be said.

"Master Ma's words are serious. I'm just a fortune-teller, but I just spend my time in the rivers and lakes, so I can make a big difference. If Master Ma has something to do, just ask. As long as I can help you, I will definitely be obliged to do so."

"So good."

After hearing his words, the smile on Ma Ye's face deepened, as if he was very satisfied with the other party's way.

He took a sip of his tea and said, "I've been observing you secretly these days, sir, and I admire your fortune-telling ability so much."

Ye Huai smiled when he heard the words, and asked casually: "Maye, do you want me to tell you a fortune too?"

"It's for fortune-telling, but it's not for me."

"Oh?" Ye Huai raised his eyebrows, "Then Madam, are you..."

At this time, Ma Ye finally stopped playing around with him, and said bluntly: "I want you to give our boss Uchikawa a divination."

Ye Huai looked at him wrongly.

"It's been more than three days since he went down the mountain with Liu Huzi, and he hasn't even sent a letter back..." As he said, Ma Ye showed a slightly worried look on his face, "I really don't know what's going on in my heart." Practical."

Ye Huai was stunned when he heard that, and then he smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem."

Although there was no expression on the surface, Ye Huai's heart secretly sounded the alarm at this time.

If he hadn't heard the nasty words between this pockmarked face and Uchikawa Zongzheng from Xiao Kuoya, he would have been easily deceived by him.Right now, I still don't know why he did this, so I can only take one step at a time.

Thinking about it, Ye Huai took out a few copper coins and made a guess.

During the divination process, Ma Ye stared closely at the coins on the table, regardless of whether he could understand them or not.After a few copper coins were rolled and dusted on the table, he immediately asked Ye Huai, "How is it?" His expression could not hide his nervousness.

Ye Huai glanced at the hexagrams on the table with downcast eyes, it was very fierce.

After hesitating for a moment, he raised a smile and said, "The hexagram shows that although he encountered difficulties on this trip, the result is still good, and he looks like he turned the danger into a bargain. Don't worry too much, Mr. Ma. In the future, your boss will be able to return safely. .”

Hearing this result, Ma Ye's face changed slightly.Although the corners of the mouth were raised as much as possible, there was an unnatural pull in the smile, which seemed like a superficial smile.

Sure enough, the smile on his face disappeared in the next second.

I just heard him say: "Sir, the ability to judge good and bad fortune by divination is indeed superb. But I want to know, besides these, do you know anything else?"

Ye Huai remained calm, "Which aspect are you referring to?"

When the conversation came to this point, Ma Ye stopped playing around with him, and just said: "I don't know if you know how to hate victory?"

Hearing this, Ye Huai's hand holding the teacup gave a sudden pause.

"To be honest, I don't want Neichuan and Liu Huzi to come back."

Oh, he actually had a showdown?

Although the other party's reaction was within his expectations, he had to do a full set of acting.A bit of panic flashed just right on Ye Huai's face: "Maye, what are you talking about, I... why can't I understand? You said you wouldn't let them come back, but your legs are on them... ..."

Ye Huai wanted to be sloppy, but the other party obviously didn't want him to get away with it.

"In the land of Nanyi, there are witchcraft techniques that can drive Gu insects to harm people, and Taoism has the art of restraining people's souls. I don't care what method Mr. Ye uses, as long as the two of them can go back together... from now on From now on, you will be my guest at Black Wind Village."

Hearing the words Nanyi and Wugu, Ye Huai's heart thumped twice.

Does this pockmarked face know something?Could it be that he realized that he used the Heart-biting Gu to control Tie Zhu and the others?

However, as soon as this idea came up, he was immediately rejected.

Totally impossible.

On the day he got out of the cell, he had secretly observed the other party's performance, and this mayor didn't seem to believe these nonsense things at first.If you don't believe it, how can you detect it?

This is like a ghost, in the eyes of believers, this thing exists.In the eyes of unbelievers, they do not exist.

After some rational analysis, Ye Huai quickly came to a conclusion——

Perhaps it was just a coincidence that the other party mentioned the art of witchcraft.

If so, then he has nothing to fear.

Thinking of this, Ye Huai immediately raised his head, showing a look of surprise and anger, "Master, what do you want to do? This soul restraining technique is a forbidden technique of Taoism, and it cannot be used casually!"

As soon as he heard this, Ma Ye knew there was something going on.

The boy's first reaction was not to say that he didn't know how to do it, but to express that this "soul arrest technique" could not be used casually.It seems that he has found a treasure!

Originally, he just asked casually with the mentality of giving it a try, but he didn't expect that he would get such an unexpected joy.

It's just... the other party's attitude made him not very satisfied.

There is nothing he Wang Mazi can't do that he wants to do, any forbidden technique, anything that can't be used casually, it's all bullshit!

Thinking about it, the kindness on Ma Ye's face gradually disappeared, "I'll give you one last chance. Do you agree or not?"

The "panic" on Ye Huai's face became a little more serious, "Master Ma...this, this really won't work!"

As he spoke, his left hand behind his back was secretly holding the whistle tightly.

Hearing the answer of refusal again, Ma Ye's patience was finally exhausted.

"I gave you a chance, but you are so ungrateful."

After finishing speaking, he took out a dagger from his waist, and a few traces of ruthlessness flashed across his thin and flat pockmarked face.

"Since you know my secret, then I can't keep you."

Just as he swung his dagger and attacked Ye Huai, there was an inaudible cracking sound in the air.Ma Ye didn't have time to react, only a dull sound was heard in the next second, and he fell to the ground.

Ye Huai glanced at the corpse on the ground, and killed him with one blow. The arrows pierced straight into the atrium, and the person was utterly dead.

At this time, there was only a creaking sound from the rear window, and a black figure rolled over and entered the room like a ghost.

In a dark corner, Cheng Shi bowed to him and asked in a deep voice, "Duke, are you alright?"

"nothing."

Ye Huai breathed a long sigh of relief, retracted his gaze and said in a low voice, "Speak. What's going on?"

"Mongsho Uchikawa is dead."

The ominous hexagram was divined not long ago, but Ye Huai is not surprised to hear the news now.

Then Cheng Shi continued: "The corpse is at the foot of the mountain, bloody and bloody, and there are traces of gunpowder on the body. It seems that it was injured by a weapon such as a firecracker."

Firearms?

This thing is not easy to do.

The guards in Ningzhou don't have this kind of thing, even if it is stored in Liang Jing, this thing is a rare commodity, only found in the firearms camp...

"The subordinate followed the trail all the way, and then saw Tang Jun, the guard of Dai Wang, outside the city."

After speaking, Cheng Shi paused, and said in a deep voice, "The man should have been killed on behalf of the king. He has come to Ningzhou."

Hearing the news, Ye Huai was stunned suddenly, and raised his eyebrows in surprise. He thought the king was trapped in Taizhou and was busy dealing with the flood at this time, but he didn't expect the other party to come to Ningzhou.

But if you think about it carefully, the so-called flood control is just an excuse to save your life.Emperor Tianjing passed away, and now the government is controlled by Situ Xiuyun. If the acting king returns to Beijing for the funeral, it will be a disaster, and it can only be used as a shield.

However, Taizhou is not a place to stay for a long time after all.If you stay still, it will only make the situation more passive.Come to think of it, Dai Wang probably had other plans for coming to Ningzhou this time.

"Have you ever found out what they are here for?"

"Never. The subordinates only know that they came here disguised as a caravan. They also captured a lot of Japanese pirates."

Ye Huai nodded.

Based on the information currently known, it is not difficult to speculate on the cause and effect of the whole incident.It should be that this group of pirates wanted to rob Daiwang, but they never thought that they would be killed by Daiwang's people instead.

As for why Dai Wang didn't execute this group of people on the spot but took them to Ningzhou City...

He definitely didn't think it was because of Situ Xiuze's benevolent personality, but because it was still useful for him to keep these people.

Maybe he wanted to use these people to find the lair of Japanese pirates?

But it's not right.

If you just want to use them to find other accomplices, then it is enough to keep only one alive, and there is no need to bring everyone.

There should be other more important reasons.

what is it?

Cheng Shi on the side hesitated.

The Dugong said earlier that he would come to the Japanese pirates' lair to inquire about news, but in the end he did a trick of bluffing and deceiving.What is even more unexpected is that he really won the trust of these thieves.However, this is not a long-term solution after all.Now that this pockmarked face is dead, the people in Heifeng Village will know about it sooner or later.At that time, the Governor...

Thinking about it, he said, "Duke, do you still plan to stay here?"

Hearing the sound, Ye Huai turned his head in confusion, "Huh?"

Seeing Cheng Shi's serious expression, "Now we know where the pirates' lair is, and we can leave the rest to General Shi. In this way, you don't have to risk yourself here. If it wasn't for today's Come down in time and you'll..."

Cheng Shi hesitated for a moment and finally did not continue.

Ye Huai fell silent upon hearing the words.

Indeed, he acted like this before because he wanted to know where the Japanese pirates' lair was, so that he could catch the thief first and capture the king first.But now that Neichuan Zongzheng is dead, and he knows the location of Heifengzhai, there is really no need for him to stay now.

only……

"I can't leave right now."

Into a poem:? ? ?

Hearing Ye Huai change the subject, "Our family will go back, but now is not the time."

Cheng Shi was dumbfounded.Now is not the time, so what is the time?

Ye Huai smiled and said, "A supervisor in our family disappeared for several days for no apparent reason after the Japanese pirates attacked the camp. Now he hastily went back like this. What do you think others will think?"

Hearing this, Cheng Shi paused, the words that were close to his mouth suddenly seemed to be stuck in a fishbone, and he was speechless.

indeed.

Almost everyone thought that something happened to the duke, but now if he went back suddenly, others would be suspicious.Moreover, Eunuch Ren in the imperial court has been staring at Duke Du with covetous eyes. If he knows about this matter, he will definitely make use of the issue and attack Duke Du to cooperate with the enemy and bandits!

"so……"

Seeing Ye Huai smiled, a trace of cunning flashed across his face, "Our family might as well just stay here and wait for the imperial court to send people to attack Heifengzhai before 'rescuing' our family. People can't pick a fault."
