Yin Ruofei sneered secretly, the only ones in the capital who dared to be so arrogant were other people besides King Ze.It’s just that King Ze never bullied the weak and ordinary people. The officials he stepped on were not upright. To be honest, every time King Ze bullied someone, many ordinary people would set off firecrackers to celebrate, and some people even went behind their backs. Pray for King Ze's incense, and hope that he will live a long life and punish those bad guys more.

The leading man was restrained, and the others stopped as expected, but they were not afraid, but looked at the followers with expressions of watching a joke.

"Boy, if I were you, let go quickly, and then chop off your own hand to make amends, otherwise you will be ruined." One of the helpers said.

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, someone actually uttered wild words, haha." This entourage is not easy to provoke, and his martial arts is also good, otherwise it would be impossible to enter Zewang's mansion as a entourage and follow Yin Ruofei out.

Hearing these words, not only did he not feel cowardly, but he pushed his knee hard, and the boy restrained by his hand screamed strangely in pain.

"Let go, let go." The restrained man hurriedly begged for mercy, cursing at the others, "You bastards watch me suffer, and dare to talk too much. This old man, please let the little one go, it doesn't matter thing."

"Hmph." The attendant snorted heavily, pushed him hard towards the group of people, turned around and went back behind Yin Ruofei.

"Give it to me, I'll be wounded and maimed, even if I'm killed, it's just a matter of a word from the superior." The boy who was let go had a grim expression on his face, and pointed at Yin Ruofei and the others.

"I don't know how to live or die." Gong Jiu, who was in disguise, sneered at the side, but this kind of thing doesn't need an expert like him to come forward.It's just a group of mobs, who can do two tricks and three-legged cats' kung fu, even the followers from the palace, their martial arts foundation is much stronger than them.

This group of mobs surrounded him loudly, but they didn't understand why the raised fist hit their own faces, and they didn't understand why they were kicked away by six feet when they only raised one foot.

In less than half a cup of tea, the group of people had already lay down with bruises and swollen faces, crying mournfully on the ground.

The surroundings were already full of people, and a few young and vigorous people cheered loudly, and someone beside them hurriedly pulled them, telling them to keep their voices down, so as not to cause trouble to the upper body.

Yin Ruofei and Gong Jiu are both practitioners of internal strength, even if their voices are a little softer, it doesn't hinder their hearing.The two looked at each other, feeling that these people might really be backed by big figures, and secretly decided to make a big deal out of it.

No matter who it is, they are no bigger than the emperor, and naturally they are no bigger than King Ze, who is under one person.What's more, looking at the reactions of the surrounding people, it can be seen that this group of people has been entrenched here all year round, and everyone is already resentful but helpless.

Although Tianxianglou is the largest restaurant, the street behind it connects several streets where poor people live.As long as Tianxianglou is more benevolent, I am afraid that the current situation will not happen.

Yin Ruofei jumped off the horse and walked to the children who had been beaten before.These children are about the same age as him, the youngest is seven or eight years old, and the oldest is no more than twelve or thirteen, but they are similar to the age when he was kicked out of the Hou Mansion before.

At this time, several children had already supported each other and stood up, "Thank you, my lord, for saving your life." These children were all orphans and did not know much about etiquette, but this did not prevent them from expressing their sincere thanks.

"Why did they beat you?" Yin Ruofei said slowly.

Although Yin Ruofei's clothes looked plain, they were actually very luxurious. He was handsome, with red lips and white teeth. In addition, he practiced martial arts all day long, with straight shoulders and straight legs, which made him even more elegant.These children had never seen a character like him before, and when they were questioned by him, they seemed a little afraid to speak.

"Don't be afraid." Yin Ruofei took out a purse from his arms, which contained the pocket money he had with him.He took out a few silver nuggets the size of pigeon eggs, "Take these, go buy some wound medicine first."

Several children bowed their heads and exchanged a few words quickly, which seemed to be arguing, and then a teenager said something indisputable despite the crowd's opinions.With a little hesitation, an older child pulled the two younger ones, bowed to Yin Ruofei, turned and left.Yin Ruofei looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, "Why don't you leave?"

"My lord, although they are just doing odd jobs in a restaurant, the people behind them are very powerful. I, I... You saved our lives, we can't watch you suffer for us." The young man glanced at Yin Ruofei, then lowered his head, "They still To take care of other sick companions, let me tell you what's going on."

"Okay. But let's not talk about it here, let's go to the restaurant." Yin Ruofei turned and asked others to take the boy.As for those people lying on the ground, everyone didn't even look at them.

Turning from this street, it is the front of the largest Tianxiang Building. The waiter at the door looked them up and down, and came up to meet them.

"Is there any room left?" the attendant asked, throwing out a piece of silver.

"There are some." Tianxianglou's dishes are not cheap, and they charge [-]% more for eating in private rooms. Seeing that they asked for private rooms, the smile on Xiao Er's face grew even bigger.As for the little beggars following behind, he didn't notice it at all for the sake of money. He didn't bother to care about it unless he had money to make.

The group quickly went upstairs and chose a private room that wasn't too eye-catching.

"Go and have a good meal, too. When Master Xiling comes, please invite him over."

"Yes." The seven or eight attendants saluted respectfully, found a table at the nearest place to the private room, and ordered dishes.And Yin Ruofei and Gong Jiu brought the boy into the private room.

"My lord, this..." The young man looked at the magnificent private room, a little afraid to move.This place is too clean and luxurious, a place he has never been to in his life, "Sit down." It's just a private room.Both Yin Ruofei and Gong Jiu are free and easy people, so naturally they don't care about each other's identity, and the upcoming Xiling Hao is not such a person.If it were those hypocritical people, maybe Yin Ruofei would hesitate a bit, but it was Xiling Hao who came, so he wasn't worried at all.

After a pot of good tea and several plates of signature snacks were brought, Yin Ruofei picked up a piece with a smile and signaled the young man to try it.

Perhaps it was the sweet snacks that relieved the tension, the boy was not as embarrassed as he was at the beginning, and began to talk about what happened.

Originally, these teenagers were all children living in the nearby streets, but unlike others, most of them were orphans, and there were more than a dozen of them.All the poor people lived in the nearby streets, and they were no exception, except that the boy was the leader of the group, and they lived in a dilapidated house left by the boy's parents.

It is said to be a house, but in fact not only the roof is leaky, but even the dirt walls are full of holes.If the house is like this, it is even more difficult to eat.But these children are not bad people. They usually go outside the city to chop firewood and sell it for money, or do odd jobs in this city to earn meager wages.

The reason why these children came here today is because they used to do odd jobs in Tianxianglou, doing the dirtiest and tiring work, but the money was delayed again and again, and they only got a few leftovers .

If one of the girls hadn't been sick, these poor, thin children would not have mustered up the courage to ask for their due wages back.It's just that their pleading still didn't work. This young man named Meng Ke planned to steal some good food so that the girl could eat some good food, which might save her life.

After that, Yin Ruofei and others saw it.Their plan did not succeed, and instead they were chased and beaten by the thugs in Tianxianglou.

"A small restaurant can actually keep thugs." Gong Jiu sneered.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, this merchant is the lowest, but they dare to be so arrogant and unscrupulous, it can only be said that there must be something wrong behind it.

Meng Ke was silent for a while, "Young master, this big brother, I don't know who the big man behind Tianxianglou is, but when we were chased and beaten today, I heard the man in the head say that even if we sue Jingzhao Jing Zhaoyi won’t care if Yin goes there.”

Yin Ruofei and Gong Jiu listened quietly.

"Could that person be bigger than Jing Zhaoyi?" Meng Ke's face turned pale, and he deeply felt that the two people in front of him were affected by them. "My lord, I'm really sorry."

"Who is that leader? Is he also a thug?" Yin Ruofei didn't answer Meng Ke's words, but asked about other things.The headed man was dressed slightly differently from the others, and he was the only one who didn't do anything at all, but just stared from the sidelines.

Meng Ke froze for a moment, "The person in charge is the brother-in-law of the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou, who is very powerful in this area."

"The brother-in-law of the shopkeeper of a restaurant is very powerful? Doesn't the shopkeeper become a local tyrant?" Gong Jiu sneered.

"Almost." Meng Ke nodded. "I don't know the background of the shopkeeper, but he doesn't care about settling accounts, he just manages affairs and checks accounts. We all knew this when we were doing odd jobs here. No matter how deep it is, we won't be able to find out."

"How many people are there?" Yin Ruofei looked at Meng Ke in front of him, and his heart moved.Although he has followers and servants, those are not the most suitable ones.This Meng Ke has courage, loyalty, and even more orderliness in speaking and doing things. If he can be cultivated, he can be used by him.

If there are many people on the other side, and they are all trained to be his people, wouldn't they have a dark force?

Gong Jiu seemed to understand Yin Ruofei's meaning, but did not speak.

"There are 21 of them, seventeen boys and four girls." Meng Ke spoke very clearly, "There are about fifteen people who can come out to earn a living, and the remaining six are too young."

"Yeah." Yin Ruofei nodded, "If I can keep you fed, read and write, and even learn martial arts, are you willing to follow me?" Yin Ruofei clasped his fingers to ponder, and opened his mouth slowly.

"I, I... can I really do it?" Meng Ke suddenly stammered.To be able to follow this young master who is obviously a good man, and to be able to eat enough from now on, and to study and practice martial arts, this is like a big cake that fell from the sky, hitting him on the head. "Yes, I am willing. Master, master accept Meng Ke to worship."

"Yo, what is this for?" Xi Linghao was led by Yin Ruofei's attendants, and when he opened the door, he saw this, and immediately burst out laughing. "Has Brother Fei been apprenticed?"
