    Three nights later.

    Walking down the street, Shen Yue felt no excitement in his heart.

    He didn¡¯t go to Mingxiang because he didn¡¯t know whether Pinghaihou¡¯s men were monitoring him.  Although they promised not to cause trouble for him anymore, he was still unhappy. In the eyes of Pinghaihou, everything seemed to be given to him, and he had no power to resist.  And the mysterious Mingxiang didn't come to him.

    But, is it true that there is no power to fight back?

    ¡°Brother Shen, don¡¯t you want a bowl of noodles?¡±

    Unconsciously, we arrived at the stalls of the night market.

    The Chaos Noodles at Lao Li¡¯s are very good and taste good too.  Shen Yue often comes here to eat and is very familiar with Lao Li.

    Nodding, Shen Yue sat in front of the stall.

    "Add a little more chaos, Mr. Shen, I'm really embarrassed today."

    Turning his head, Shen Yue saw Kong Xiangyun.

    The little girl stood there cutely, her eyes as clear as water.

    Ignoring Kong Xiangyun, Shen Yue picked up the bowl, quickly finished the chaos, paid, and turned around to leave.

    There is a full moon in the sky, and the bright moonlight is so clear that walking on the road feels like walking in a stream.  Shen Yue's shadow stretched very long under the moonlight, occasionally passing over the face of the little girl behind him.

    Several passers-by looked at Shen Yue with suspicion. After all, if Shen Yue saw someone walking on the road at night with a little girl following behind him, they would look at him like this and maybe even grab the girl.  Guy, ask him if he was drunk and forgot about his daughter, or if he robbed the girl of her money?

    "It's a pity that Shen Yue is the one who is followed.

    As if out of anger, Kong Xiangyun followed Shen Yue.

    There were stone steps paved with bluestone in the distance. Shen Yue stopped there, then sat down and waited for the little girl behind him to catch up.

    "Miss Kong, if you have anything to say, just say it."

    Shen Yue had already guessed the purpose of this little girl's visit, but her stubbornness gave Shen Yue a headache.

    ¡°Many people will never bow in the face of violence, but they do not resist soft words.

    "Mr. Shen, here are the banknotes and the secret book. Please accept them."

    She put the box that Shen Yue had seen during the day on the table with a very sincere expression.

    "No, Miss Kong, I can't get over my own hurdle after accepting your money."

    He knew that Kong Xiangyun had good intentions, and he also knew that this was actually the best solution.

    "Mr. Shen, I won't stop your future actions, I just want to help you, and my aunt also said that the Kong family was sorry for you back then. You have a lot of grievances in your heart, but don't be too"

    "What's wrong?"

    Shen Yue turned around and smiled, his white teeth standing out in the night.

    ¡°I¡¯m just an ordinary person, I don¡¯t have any power, and I¡¯m not dangerous to Marquis Pinghai. If I don¡¯t have any adventures or opportunities in this life, I¡¯m afraid I will just die an ordinary life.

    These things are very good, but I would rather make you laugh at me than make others look down on me.

    Kong Xiangyun, you can stay with me for so long because you insist on your own beliefs, but I also have my own persistence.  "

    He raised his head and looked up at the sky.

    "There are gods three feet above my head. I will not accept this money and then curse in my heart that the Kong family will suffer retribution."

    Staring at the man in front of him, Kong Xiangyun couldn't say a word.

    The watery moonlight shone on his body, giving him a deserted feeling.  Just like the steps under your feet, the hard bluestone has existed for hundreds of years, but it has never changed.

    With eyes red, Kong Xiangyun opened his mouth and closed it again.

    "Do you feel a little aggrieved? A little girl followed a grown man all night. And you did it for his own good, and even your family members blamed you. In the future, some people will laugh and say that your good intentions have turned into a donkey's liver and lungs.  ?

    If I were a man, I should put down my useless persistence and accept your kindness. Only in this way can I be graceful, right?  "

    Kong Xiangyun nodded, feeling a little sore on his nose.

    "Have you seen this yard?"

    Behind the bluestone steps, there is a dilapidated courtyard. The traces of the fire have not faded, and the black beams still tell the story of the prosperity of the past.

    "A widow lived here before. Her husband died early, leaving only a pair of twins to accompany her. The hostess liked her children very much and regarded them as treasures, but two years ago, the twins contracted smallpox.  .

    For the sake of the children, the hostess invitedThe Goddess Empress came back to worship, and at the same time, she paid a lot of money to invite the abbot of the Dragon Girl Temple to come and treat them. Unfortunately, the two children were not saved in the end.

    After the child died, the mistress went crazy and set a fire, burning the house and herself.  "

    Kong Xiangyun was a little strange. He didn¡¯t know why Shen Yue suddenly said this.

    "After the child got sick, the mistress knelt in front of the statue of the Goddess of Pox. She did not eat or drink, but kowtowed, hoping that her children would escape the disaster. This self-mutilation behavior lasted for six days, during which she fell into coma several times and woke up.  After coming, she continued to kowtow. Unfortunately, no matter how sincere she was, it would not help.

    There is an apprentice in a leather goods shop on this street. He is ten years old. He works for seven hours a day and is only given two meals. If he does the wrong work, he will be beaten by the master.  This kind of life will last for eight years, and then he can become a formal store clerk.

    There is an old man in the west post station of the city. He has no children and is alone. He has no money saved and his only hope is to have a good coffin after his death.  He worked there for sixty years and maintained that kind of life for sixty years.  "

    Shen Yue¡¯s voice was very calm, but Kong Xiangyun felt a little cold on his body.

    "Little girl, you think your persistence can impress others, but unfortunately, this is just your illusion.

    Reality is not a fairy tale. Only those who love you will be moved by you.  In other words, they are impressed by you because they care about you or want to take advantage of you.

    There are many people in this world who insist more and pay more, but to no avail.

    It¡¯s getting late, go home and sleep early. You and I are not the same person, so don¡¯t say anything bad to the scenery.

    ¡°Also, if you meet Bai Guozhang, tell him that my deduction back then was not wrong.  "

    After she finished speaking, Shen Yue turned and left. This time, there was no sound of the little girl's footsteps behind her.

    Only the cold moonlight shines on the street, and everything becomes so deserted.

    ============

    Pinghaihou Mansion, Kong Qingfeng¡¯s study.

    "Shen Yue is a talented person."

    Kong Qingfeng flipped through the information in front of him and sighed.

    Very few people know that there is a lot of information about Shen Yue in Kong Qingfeng¡¯s room.

    ¡°A man who could invent smallpox, would he have any other reservations?  Kong Qingfeng was very curious about this, so he kept paying attention to Shen Yue.

    "Neither arrogant nor humble, but persistent, this kind of person is a talent. It's a pity that he cannot be used by the Kong family."

    His finger clicked on a line of words under Shen Yue's information.

    "There is a bright moonlight in front of the bed. I suspect it is frost on the ground. I look up at the bright moon and lower my head to think about my hometown."

    This sentence looks like poetry and is catchy when read. Kong Qingfeng has read it many times and feels that this short sentence becomes more interesting the more he reads it, but he still doesn't know what is so good about it.

    Yes, there was always a cloud of doubt in his heart, that is, he had never seen cowardice in Shen Yue's eyes.

    Those who are able to face blows again and again without giving in are not because they are strong, but because they have confidence, hope, or believe that they can one day make a comeback.

    Kong Qingfeng didn't like the way Shen Yue looked at him.  It felt like Shen Yue had never defeated an opponent he could not surpass, but someone he could easily defeat.

    ¡°Maybe this is an illusion, but Kong Qingfeng doesn¡¯t think so.

    Kong Qingfeng could clearly see that kind of contempt.

    After he came back today, he told his father how he met Shen Yue. However, Kong Guozhang did not blame him. He just asked Kong Xiangyun next to him what he thought.

    Kong Xiangyun thought for a while, picked up the box and went to find Shen Yue.

    This smart niece probably used her identity as a girl to find Shen Yue and trick him into accepting the gift.

    Kong Qingfeng was very annoyed when he thought of meeting Shen Yue today, and many major events had happened in Haizhou City these days.

    A few days ago, a massacre occurred. All sixteen members of Wang Baotou¡¯s family, including six servants, died.

    Maybe it was the revenge of someone he had arrested before, but Wang Captou reminded Kong Qingfeng of Shen Yue.

    At the beginning, Wang Baotou was among the people who persecuted Shen Yue.

    There are no clues at all about the tragedy of Mr. Wang¡¯s family.  After the murderer killed Wang Baotou's family, he actually stayed there for a day and a night.  He also entertained others in the dining room and cleaned the whole house afterwards.

    A member of the Kong family came over and said something to Kong Qingfeng.

    "What?"

    Kong Qingfeng¡¯s expression changed.

    Another family member was killed, no one survived.

      =============

    Starting from the second day, there were many more patrolling personnel in Haizhou City.

    The person who died this time was a family from the south of the city. Speaking of which, Shen Yue knew the owner of that family.

    His family was originally a tenant of the Shen family. When the owner of the family was seriously ill, Shen Yue waived the rent for their family and also paid for a doctor to help with the treatment.  When Shen Yue was vaccinated with cowpox, his eldest son was infected, but this same family later said that the person who vaccinated them was Ping Haihou.

    Many people say that the children in this family are too pitiful, but in Shen Yue's heart, the twelve-year-old baby is not a good person.  A big-ass boy who has been a bad boy since elementary school. He bullied other children on the street and beat them until their heads were bloody. When he went to court with his father, he didn't hesitate at all to tell lies.

    At the first moment, Shen Yue thought of Mingxiang, she should be the one to take action.

    However, this has nothing to do with Shen Yue.  He didn't care, let alone report what Mingxiang did.

    Shen Yue would never use his compassion on his enemies.

    Of course, after the two families were massacred, Shen Yue was invited to the Yamen for questioning, and he just came out now.  He was in a bad mood and was lying by the river, looking at the flowing water in the distance.

    He has been in Haizhou City for three years, and it¡¯s time to leave.
