The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Chapter 395 Looking for an Escort Agency
This was the first time they had heard such words, and even Hu Jing couldn't help but look up at her.

Pan Yun said to them with a smile: "A new life is always a joy. Tomorrow I will buy you some delicious food to celebrate. First, I want to celebrate your successful escape. Second, I want to congratulate you on your new life. From now on, the mountain that was pressing on you is gone. You are free, without the oppression of your parents and relatives."

The girls opened their mouths wide and murmured, "Without parents and relatives to oppress us... But without parents and relatives, isn't it pitiful?"

Pan Yun said: "Why should we feel pity? Creatures born and raised by nature have always been regarded as treasures. You have become treasures now. The gods of heaven and earth are your relatives and support."

Pan Yun had been talking nonsense to comfort them, but she couldn't help but pause when she got to this point. She felt that this made sense. She said, "If it wasn't God's will, how could we have met? How could I have saved you?"

Pan Jun glanced at their faces and suddenly smiled, "You two met in this vast sea of ​​people. This is fate."

The girls looked at each other. During this period of time, they had been beaten, scolded, and starved, and they had always taken care of each other.

One girl's hand was placed on another girl's hand, and the loneliness in her heart due to losing her loved ones and being alone soon eased a little.

Hu Jing was carried to the room of Wang Cong and Tao Yanbai next door overnight. Without waiting for him to talk to Wang Cong, the two of them immediately tiptoed to the next room.

The girls were all injured, three of them seriously, and they had to rescue people.

There was a curtain in the middle of the room. Pan Yun and Miao Zhen were applying medicine on them from the inside. They were busy until dawn.

Pan Jun asked them to go back to their rooms and sleep. She went back to her room to change her clothes, thought for a while, and then went out shopping with Pan Xiaohei in her arms.

Miao Zhen reluctantly opened his eyes and took a look, then turned over and fell asleep facing Miao He, muttering in a low voice: "Master Junior is really energetic."

As energetic as Pan Yun is Hong Yan.

She didn't want to sleep either, so she changed her blood-stained clothes, swung her purse and ran after Pan Yun.

Wang Cong was so sleepy that he fell down as soon as he returned to the room. He always felt that he had forgotten something, but when he couldn't remember it, he stopped thinking about it and fell asleep with his head tilted.

Wanchunlou was blown up, and not only was it haunted, but all the money was looted.

All the gold and silver hidden in the warehouse by the madam were taken away, and the two people guarding the warehouse fell at the door. The boxes inside were emptied, and even the fabrics she bought to make spring clothes for the girls were taken away.

Also, her room was searched and every penny counted, even a wooden hairpin was taken away.

The madam stood in front of the door and felt cold all over.

The girls stood behind her, watching all this, their eyes twinkling.

The madam turned around with a gloomy face, her eyes slid across the girls' faces, and asked in a deep voice: "So many things were taken away, and you didn't know anything about it?"

The courtesan sneered and questioned, "Mom, are you suspicious of us? The sisters were entertaining guests last night, and there were people everywhere. There were also so many people guarding the gate. If we had the ability to rob people, we would have left long ago."

The words were unpleasant to hear, but they were the truth. The madam looked at the thugs beside her with a gloomy look, "What about you guys?"

Half of the thugs in Wanchunlou had just woken up and were all confused at this moment.

The madam stared at them with an increasingly gloomy look, "So much money and people have been lost, the building must give an explanation to the owner, and the money and people are all under your care."

The thugs turned pale, "It was a ghost, we all saw it, she appeared out of nowhere and disappeared out of nowhere."

The two people in the rockery also nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it was a ghost, a female ghost in red, we saw it too."

"Why would a ghost want my jewelry and money?" The madam originally believed it was a ghost, after all, she saw it with her own eyes, but at this moment, she said coldly: "I'm afraid someone is playing tricks on me, right?"

Anyone who could do this quietly in Wanchun Tower must have had the cooperation of someone in the building.

The madam said, "I'll give you one more chance. Return the people and the money before noon today, or I'll report you to the boss. If the boss reports you to the police, it won't be our business anymore."

Unfortunately, until noon, no one in Wanchun Tower moved. The money and the people did not come back. Instead, the news that Wanchun Tower was haunted last night spread throughout half of the city.

In Qianxi Tower opposite Wanchun Tower, Ningshuang exclaimed in amazement, "That young Taoist priest is really amazing. He can actually take people away from Wanchun Tower."

It is not uncommon to take away money, but it is rare to take away people.

"I heard that sixteen girls were lost, and three of them were seriously injured."

Ning Shuang's eyes flickered, and she seemed to be thinking, "There must be more than two of them. Haven't you found out where they live yet?"

"We have already started the spies in the city, but they dare not make big moves. The Royal Guards are in the city, so be careful to avoid them."

Ning Shuang was unhappy. "They took a lot of money from Wanchun Tower. This is big news. How long did the Jinyiwei take to find a Japanese pirate? Hu Jing didn't show up either..."

Ning Shuang thought for a moment, "Could it be that the Japanese pirates found Hu Jing before them?"

"No news yet."

"What about the Japanese pirates?"

"I've asked someone to keep an eye on him. The last time we found him, he was in Huai'an Prefecture, and we haven't received any news since then."

Ning Shuang snorted and said, "People from this tiny country are so arrogant that they dare to come to our Ming Dynasty to arrest people. They are being bullied to the face, and the Wulin Alliance has not taken any action at all?"

"I was just about to tell you, the Wulin Alliance has issued an order, and all the major sects have sent people to find Hero Hu, saying that they want to protect Hero Hu, and Qianxi Tower wants to provide information." Ning Shuang's eyes flashed, and she laughed sweetly: "Is that so? Why don't you issue a martial arts order, and directly let Hero Hu come to my Qianxi Tower nearby, or report to the Wulin Alliance's headquarters? Wouldn't this protect him better?"

The other party didn't speak.

Ning Shuang said sarcastically: "It seems that the people in the building and the Wulin League all suspect that the treasure map is in the hands of Hero Hu."

"This news is the most profitable. Wanchun Tower is not worth mentioning. Ningshuang, I advise you to stop staring at the other side and find Hero Hu right now."

Wanchunlou still reported the matter to the police.

Wang Shan, who was eating meat and drinking wine in the county government office, didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world. In addition, the owner of Wanchunlou came to report the case in person. Coincidentally, they played together last night.

So Wang Shan took the Jinyiwei to investigate, to give them face.

Liu Jing followed silently. He had mentioned once that the people at the city gate should be withdrawn, but Wang Shan was stubborn and thought that since they had already alerted the enemy, they should be alerted to the end, so he was unwilling to withdraw.

Liu Jing cursed in his heart, but smiled and praised Captain Wang for his thoughtfulness, so many soldiers were still stationed at each city gate.

The Jinyiwei also had to go on patrol from time to time, which was a huge waste of manpower.

So let alone checking the population in the city, there were not many people left around Tang Peng.

And as the surveillance time prolonged, Tang Peng seemed to have noticed something.

Liu Jing rode his horse and followed Wang Shan to Wanchun Tower, wondering if he should capture Tang Peng and use him as a hook to lure Hu Jing out if Hu Jing didn't show up.

When the Jinyiwei went out, passers-by on the road immediately avoided them.

Pan Jun held Pan Xiaohei in his arms and also pulled Hongyan to turn their backs to avoid them.

Liu Jing rode past her on horseback and did not see her standing on the side of the road.

Pan Yun looked back at him, took Hongyan's hand and said, "Let's go find the escort agency."

In just one morning, Pan Yun had learned everything about the pawnshops and escort agencies in Jinan Prefecture.

The most trustworthy brokerage firm is the one registered by the government, and the most reputable escort agency is the one diagonally opposite the county government office.

Not talking about the escort agency for now, Pan Yun decided to look for the security company first.

The status of the escort agency has always been somewhat peculiar, because it is located between all parties and is a very neutral existence.

You can say it is a gangster organization, because the escorts in it are basically gangsters;
You can also say it is a commercial organization because it is doing business;
In order to survive, it has close ties with the government.

So, it is in a three-way situation.

The foundation for maintaining the existence of an escort agency is reputation, followed by martial arts.

So before leaving the mountain, the eldest senior brother once told her that if she had any difficult problems that could not be solved, she could just spend money to find the escort agency, and it would help her solve them.

As long as there is money.

Not only do they complete what they are asked to do, they also keep their mouth shut.

Pan Yun went to the door and asked about the price of escorting people. After meeting their bodyguards, he talked to the chief escort in the room.

"Escorting a kidnapped woman?" The head escort looked Pan Yun up and down and immediately realized, "The person who caused a commotion in Wanchun Tower last night was a female knight?"

Pan Yun agreed immediately, "Although the people have been rescued, I can't just abandon them, so I want to ask the Ping An Escort Agency to escort them home."

The head escort's face turned serious and he agreed immediately, "I'll take this escort."

Not only did he accept it, he also accepted it at the lowest price.

Pan Jun was very generous and waved his hand, saying, "I know that all the brothers in the escort agency are working hard to make a living. I don't want to ask them to work hard for nothing. I will still pay them as usual."

The chief escort said, "Lady, you are so kind. We at Ping An Escort Agency are not just interested in money. This is a good deed to accumulate virtue. Let us also help."

"Captain Escort, it's great that the escort agency is willing to help you," Pan Yun said, "I have one more thing I want to ask of you."

"Please say."

Pan Yun said: "Some of the girls were not kidnapped, but sold by their parents and families. Now that they have been rescued, we can't send them back to the tiger's mouth. Their homes are also wolves' dens, so we want to find another place to settle them."

Pan Yun said, "I wonder if the chief escort has any place or people to recommend. They have hands and feet, and can farm, weave, and wash to support themselves. As long as the place is safe and they have a place to stay, it will be fine."

"This..." The chief escort frowned, "Madam, our escort agency has never dealt with such a thing..."

Pan Yun said: "I am willing to pay for the rent of the house and the land, and I am also willing to pay a protection fee, as long as the escort agency is willing to look after them for two years."

If they still cannot gain a foothold in the local area after two years, then they will have to leave it to fate.
