Chapter 40: Asking

What does it look like to ask for someone with confidence?

"Hey, you rabbit cub, keep running, why don't you run?"

The servants who caught up were also very tired, and when they saw Juan sitting on the ground, he was hunched over and panting from a distance. To say that this official is also persistent, he has been chased from the county government to the broken temple outside the city, and he is also dedicated enough.

The servant gasped for a while, and after a little rest, he shook his steps and came to Ju'an, whose attention was still completely on the six little beggars, and pulled out the knife with a "whoosh" and put it on Ju'an's neck.

"Get up, follow me back to the county office, be honest," the official said viciously.

"Wow", the little beggar named Xiaoliu started crying again, he was scared, and then he started crying, and the other five little beggars may also be frightened, staring blankly at the knife on Jue'an's neck, his eyes were full of uneasiness, but there was no reaction.

"I said, Master, can you put the knife away first?" Ju An carefully held the knife around his neck, slowly turned to face the officer, and then put a flattering smile on his face.

"Don't talk nonsense, follow me back to the county office" The official didn't pay attention to Ju An's flattering smile, in this yagong saw a group of little beggars dressed in tatters, Ju An was their leader, and the idea of not doing good things was even deeper, and the yagong was even complacent in his heart, this time he made a meritorious service.

"Bad master, I'm a good person, what did I do?" Ju An was a little panicked, thinking that he would be able to sell and sell on his own, but the official in front of him seemed to be completely unconvinced.

"Hmph, which bad guy would say that he is a bad person, don't you know what he has done?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go to the county government with you, give me a little time, and immediately" Ju An also knew, this trip to the county government was decided, and on the other hand, I thought about it, didn't I just want to go to the county government to find Wu Dalang, isn't this right.

"Ah Da, take care of them, I'll come when I go, and I'll bring you yesterday's bread back," Juan said to the little beggars who were still a little uneasy but didn't dare to make a sound.

The beggar named Ah Da nodded, still didn't dare to make a sound, in the hearts of several of their little beggars was full of fear of the county officials, who had been driven, bullied and even beaten by these officials when they were begging in the county seat before, so now they didn't dare to speak out except for Xiaoliu's crying.

In the morning, Wu Song woke up first, and fell asleep on the table when he was drunk last night, and Ling Ling (Wu Dalang) couldn't move Wu Song, so he let him sleep on the table, maybe because of the problem of poor sleeping posture, or because of the dry mouth when he woke up.

Wu Song, who was still a little groggy, climbed up, felt a dry mouth, looking for water to no avail, and saw that there was still some wine left from yesterday, so he poured a sip violently, maybe he choked too violently, Wu Song coughed.

The cough woke up Ling Ling, who was still lying on the bed, Ling Ling felt that he was getting more and more sleepy now, and he couldn't wake up when he fell asleep, and the habit of getting up on time every day in the real world was gone. After getting up and washing up a little, Ling Ling and Wu Song were ready to go out, go to Yanggu County to buy some things for the road, and prepare to go to Kyoto.

As soon as Ling Ling and Wu Song went out, they saw a servant holding the head of the beggar who Ling Ling had seen yesterday, and Ling Ling stopped and looked over there when he felt familiar.

"Hey, stop, what did he do?" Seeing that his brother seemed to be very concerned about the person next to him, Wu Song asked more.

"Uh, all heads, he's guilty...... ...... offense" The official scratched his head, and he really didn't know what the prisoner he was holding had done.

"What have you done, tell me quickly......" The official himself didn't know, so he let Ju'an say it himself.

"Official, the little one didn't know what he had done, so he was arrested."

"Hmph, how can I arrest you if you haven't committed a crime, hurry up and explain" Wu Song has been a servant for a long time, and he has seen a lot of people who have been caught and committed small things, so he just wants to educate a few words and let it go, and when he enters this county, he doesn't say that he has to peel off his skin to come out.

"Master, I really didn't commit any crimes, and I don't know why this poor master wanted to arrest me" Ju An began to cry and confide in his grievances.

"Is what he said true?" Wu Song asked the official next to him with a frown.

"This, this...... Looking at him like this, he must not be a good person, he must have committed a crime" The official looked at Wu Song's serious expression, and couldn't help beating the drum in his heart, but what should be argued is still to be argued, this is his own credit, maybe he can still get a handful.

"How many times have you said it, don't arrest people indiscriminately if you don't have evidence, why, you forgot it so quickly?" Wu Song was a little angry, and he also understood that most of the prisoners in front of him were wronged.

"Hurry up and let it go, it's not enough to succeed all day long, and it's more than enough to lose"

"Wudutou, this ...... This is not in accordance with the rules, right?" said the servant, although he had a look of embarrassment on his face, he had no intention of releasing him at all.

"Why, don't you listen to me? Hurry up and let it go, I'll take care of something."

Those who know the times are Junjie, since Wu Song has said this, the official will offend Wu Song if he does not let go, although Wu Song is only a head of the government, but he is older than him, and he can't offend now.

Seeing that the official released the wronged prisoner, Wu Song and Ling Ling turned around and left.

"Brother, do you know that person?" Wu Song still couldn't help but ask.

"Yesterday's beggar led the way"

"Oh, why do you want to beg if you have hands and feet, you really have no ambition" Wu Song still looked down on those beggars who were angry and begged for food.

"Everyone has their own suffering, whether it is begging or being an errand, it's all the same," Ling Ling said slowly. Ling Ling's thinking is still the thinking of the real world, and it is the thinking that everyone is equal in a modern society, but he is now in the feudal society of the Northern Song Dynasty, and everyone is born unequal.

…………

Ling Ling and Wu Song were chatting while walking in front, Wu Song felt that his brother had really changed, he couldn't understand many words, and now he admired Ling Ling (Wu Dalang) more.

Ju An, who had just been rescued by Wu Song, had already recognized Wu Dalang, after all, Ling Ling (Wu Dalang) was too conspicuous, Ju An was still a little cautious, and he didn't recognize Wu Dalang in a hurry when the official was still there, but kept following quietly.

Ling Ling had already found out that the beggar had been following them all the time, and he didn't care too much, he had been wandering around for a long time, Ling Ling and Wu Song bought some flour oil, etc., Ling Ling still wanted to make some cakes to eat on the road, compared to the cakes he made were the most economical on the road, Wu Song was also quite satisfied, just when Ling Ling was buying noodles, he secretly made a gourd of wine in the tavern next to him.

"Wu Dalang, I have something to ask you ......"

As soon as Ling Ling and Wu Song turned a corner, a person popped out, if it weren't for that sentence, they thought it was a robbery, and if it was this behavior, that sentence would be like asking someone to do something.
