Chapter 245 Teahouse Trap
The tenth day of the eleventh month, East Market.
It was a sunny day and many people were out shopping, so the East Market was bustling with people.
At this moment, a sudden conflict broke the tranquility of East City.
A bully, accompanied by a group of his men, swaggered along the streets of East City.
Just when he was bored, he saw an old man and his granddaughter performing on the roadside, and he became possessed by evil thoughts.
The bully walked up, kicked over the old man's stall, then grabbed the old man by the collar and dragged him aside.
Seeing this, the old man's granddaughter hurried forward to plead for mercy, but the bully slapped her mercilessly and knocked her to the ground.
The bully then started punching and kicking the old man, while his men laughed on the side.
The onlookers were angry but dared not say anything and could only watch the scene unfold in silence.
And this incident happened just outside Mr. Jia's shop.
Master Jia witnessed all this and tried to ignore it at first, but then he accidentally saw the woman's face.
A flash of surprise flashed across his face, and then he strode out of the shop, walked up to the bully, and said in a calm but firm voice: "Let them go!"
The bully looked at the unfamiliar man in front of him and laughed disdainfully:
"Who are you? Are you new here? Do you know who Grandpa is? How dare you meddle in other people's business?"
Master Jia didn't waste any words and directly used his unique martial arts skill - Xiaoyaoyou.
He appeared behind the bully like a ghost in a flash. With just a light slap, the bully spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground unconscious.
Seeing this, several subordinates hurriedly helped the bully up and fled in panic.
"Where did this young master come from? He is so amazing!"
"This bully should have been dealt with long ago!"
"I defeated the enemy with one move, it's so satisfying!"
The onlookers applauded when they saw the bully being subdued.
Master Jia raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and showed a faint smile with pretended reserve.
After the grandfather and grandson got up from the ground, they didn't even bother to shake off the dirt on their bodies, and bowed deeply to Master Jia.
Their faces were filled with emotion and surprise, and tears were glistening in their eyes, as if they had seen a savior.
"Thank you so much for your kindness, young master!" The old man's voice trembled with excitement, "If it weren't for your help, my grandfather and I would have died long ago..."
The girl next to him also knelt down with her grandfather. She secretly looked up at Master Jia, her eyes full of admiration and gratitude.
Master Jia smiled slightly and nodded gracefully, as if he was just doing something ordinary.
He reached out and gently helped the old man and the girl up, and said gently:
"No need to be so polite. When we see injustice, we should help. You two should be more careful in the future."
The grandfather and grandson left slowly with tears of gratitude.
Master Jia, who rarely did a good deed, looked at their backs as they left, wondering about the mentality of the grandfather and grandson.
They must be thinking how miserable their fate would be if this kind-hearted person had not appeared, and they would pray silently, hoping that this benefactor would have a safe and smooth life.
Master Jia even repeatedly recalled whether his action of saving people just now was smooth and natural, and whether he showed a calm temperament?
Afterwards, he asked his confidant Li Qing to secretly find the bully and intimidate him, forcing him to get out of the imperial capital.
At the same time, he also asked Li Qing to spend money to find some people to spread the good things he had done.
The next day, Master Jia became a hero in the hearts of everyone in the East Market, and people praised his bravery and wit.
In the taverns and teahouses, people not only talked with great interest about Mr. Jia's chivalrous character, but also his relationship with the rescued woman became a topic of conversation.
After this incident, Master Jia not only gained a good reputation, but also became lucky in love because of saving the woman named Ye Xiaoxuan.
Her eyes as clear as water and her smile as sweet as spring breeze deeply attracted Mr. Jia.
From then on, they became acquainted.
He opened a shop in the East Market, and she helped her grandfather with a small business, and they often met on the streets nearby.
Whenever Ye Xiaoxuan saw him, she would always shyly call him "Brother Jia", and he would gently call her "Xuan'er".
In this way, Master Jia gradually developed feelings for Ye Xiaoxuan, and Ye Xiaoxuan also seemed to have a good impression of Master Jia.
Ten days later, Jia Mansion.
Although Xiao Yifei pretended to be Master Jia and lurked in the market, he still had more than ten secret guards who obeyed his orders in secret.
He wanted to know about Ye Xiaoxuan's family situation, so he sent secret guards to investigate her background.
At this time, Li Qing was reporting the results of the investigation.
"Sir, things are a bit complicated. Although I'm not sure yet, but..."
Xiao Yifei interrupted him directly, "Just say what you want to say."
Li Qing continued carefully:
“At first, the secret guards doubted whether Miss Ye was really as pure and innocent as they saw.
Later, they discovered some strange clues and contradictions, which made them doubt Miss Ye's true intentions.
The secret guards launched a more in-depth investigation. When all the evidence gradually came together, they found that there seemed to be a close connection between Miss Ye and Chu Tianxing. "
"what?!"
This news was like a bolt from the blue, and Xiao Yifei simply couldn't accept it.
He was extremely surprised and angry to find that the woman he had just fallen deeply in love with turned out to be a pawn in Chu Tianxing's hands.
He couldn't believe that the woman he trusted was actually a spy sent by Chu Tianxing.
He stood there blankly, his eyes full of confusion and helplessness.
The wonderful memories of these ten days kept flashing through his mind.
He recalled the moment he met her. Her smile was as bright as the sun, warming his heart.
Xiao Yifei's heart was full of contradictions and struggles.
He didn't want to hurt her, but he couldn't just watch her being used by Chu Tianxing.
Under the torture of pain and disappointment, his heart gradually became firm.
He decided to rescue her from Chu Tianxing no matter what the cost.
"Xuan'er, she must have been forced into this." He murmured to Li Qing.
The next day, he asked someone to tell Ye Xiaoxuan that he wanted to meet her at a teahouse in East Market.
He waited in the teahouse for a long time, but Ye Xiaoxuan never showed up.
At this time, Ye Xiaoxuan was in a private room in a restaurant, reporting Xiao Yifei's recent situation to Qin Rubing.
Ye Xiaoxuan is Qin Rubing's person.
On the day Xiao Yifei first arrived in the imperial capital, Qin Rubing found his whereabouts through "Xiao Yu".
So, Qin Rubing sent a female secret guard under his command, who disguised herself and hid in the East Market, and created opportunities to get close to Xiao Yifei.
The most important thing is that this female secret guard looks very much like Xiao Yifei's Crown Princess.
When Xiao Yifei fled from Yuncheng alone, he had to leave the Crown Princess behind.
This is also an indelible regret deep in his heart.
Therefore, when Xiao Yifei saw a woman who looked like the Crown Princess wandering on the street and being bullied that day, he let down his guard and couldn't help but help her.
After that, Xiao Yifei was not on guard against her, so Ye Xiaoxuan knew everything about him.
Later, Ye Xiaoxuan found that she was about to be exposed, so she deliberately misled Xiao Yifei's secret guards into thinking that she was Chu Tianxing's man.
"You did a good job." Qin Rubing praised after listening to the report.
"I didn't expect that Xiao Yifei, who is on the run, actually has a group of loyal warriors. How many are they?"
"more than ten."
Qin Rubing realized that the information reported by Ye Xiaoxuan was very important, and immediately sent someone to inform Chu Tiancheng.
Chu Tiancheng was also a little surprised when he got the news. He thought for a moment and called Yan Yi.
"Send someone to deliberately reveal Xiao Yifei's whereabouts to Chu Tianxing."
"Yes." Yan Yi took the order and left.
An hour later.
After Chu Tianxing received the news, he did not delay for a moment and immediately sent people to the teahouse to hunt down Xiao Yifei.
"Once the target is found, kill him without mercy." He gave a death order to his confidant.
At this time, Xiao Yifei was waiting for Ye Xiaoxuan's arrival in the teahouse.
He sat there quietly, thinking about their past, his heart in turmoil.
Her eyes were always as clear as water, which allowed Xiao Yifei, who was always nervous, to relax for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaoxuan's true identity is not as simple as it seems. How could she be a spy sent by Chu Tianxing to get close to him?
Faced with today's reality, how should he choose?
Suddenly, Xiao Yifei found that the atmosphere around him was a little strange. Without time to think about it, he decisively fled in panic.
