Lei Shaoxuan was stunned for a moment, and found that he was holding the hand of a frightened eleven or twelve-year-old boy, and a little girl next to him was holding the other hand tightly, crying: "Brother, we know that we are wrong. Don't throw us, throw it into the water on such a cold day, we will die. ”

Lei Shaoxuan's heart softened, he stopped his hand, and asked in a deep voice, "Why?"

The little girl wiped her dirty face and pouted, "If we die, so will our father, uncle, and uncle." ”

Seeing this, Lei Shaoxuan was distressed, and said a little angrily: "There are fathers, uncles, and uncles, why do you still let you come out to ask for food? Did they force you? Tell my brother, brother will help you!"

The girl blinked widely, a little scared, and said, "Dad, uncle, and uncle are all crippled and can't find a job, so we came out to ask for food." ”

Lei Shaoxuan frowned slightly, "Why are they crippled?"

"They fought at a distant border, and they were wounded and crippled, some with broken legs, some without hands, and some blind. The boy didn't dare to look at Lei Shaoxuan, bowed his head and said, "They are all sergeants." ”

Looking at the timid gaze and hungry and haggard face in the little girl's big eyes, Lei Shaoxuan was distressed and said angrily: "Then why don't they beg for themselves?"

"Their faces are too fierce, their bodies are still strong, and no one gives them food. The little girl said crisply.

Lei Shaoxuan's heart sank.

Looking into the lake in a blink of an eye, the people who shouted the most just now were curling up in the water, revealing their heads, and a frightened expression appeared on their faces.

Seeing this, the crowd fell silent.

"Bibo Villa is a private villa, far away from the city, no one instigates it, and I believe you will not come. ”

Lei Shaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The pickers had been invited to the lake to drink water, and were huddled in the warm lake, and the team was quiet, and the rest was done.

Lei Shaoxuan said loudly: "Since you are here, you don't have to go back empty-handed." It's almost the New Year, give each person a tael of silver, and then leave quickly, don't come back in the future, otherwise I will ask you to go down and drink water, the weather is cold, the lake is warm, maybe drinking water is better than drinking. As for the few of you, just continue to drink water in the lake, and figure out how to get back. ”

Lei Shaoxuan turned his eyes and said sharply to the guards: "It's okay for them to leave, but no one is allowed to approach them." ”

The crowd was amazed.

The cold wind is bitter, splashing water into ice, it is conceivable that the wet clothes freeze instantly, and the people in the lake run back to the city in frozen clothes after they go ashore, and they will lose half their lives if they don't die. But can they not go ashore and stay in the warm lake forever?

Looking at the eight children who were obviously in a group, Lei Shaoxuan pondered for a moment and sighed.

"Take me to see your father, uncle, and uncle. ”

The little girl's name was Xiao Cui, who was six years old, the little boy was twelve years old, and the other six children, the youngest was seven or eight years old, and the eldest was eleven or twelve years old. This group of children, led by rats, formed a gang of their own, and their fathers were all disabled sergeants who had returned to their hometowns.

came to a dilapidated house in Yujing Lane, and entered the big house, where several men were lying.

Seeing Lei Shaoxuan enter, they all sat up, with a look of surprise on their faces.

"Daddy, there's a guest. Xiao Cui timidly said to one of the big men with a severed hand.

The big man wore his hair in a rough bun, and when he heard the guests, an embarrassed expression suddenly appeared on his face, and there was nothing in the house, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Alright, don't be busy. Lei Shaoxuan said lightly: "I was born in the Northwest Forward Battalion, and now I am a captain of the Military Intelligence Department of the Northwest South Army, and I am employed in the military department. ”

"The wolf smoke is sweeping, and the strikers are invincible. Suddenly, a man stood up excitedly and said, "My lord, I am also from the forward battalion, and the villain's name is Wei Peng." ”

Wei Peng's hair was scattered, one eye was eroded and scabbed, and at a glance, it was hideous and terrifying.

Lei Shaoxuan nodded.

"The head of the fourth battalion of the small Jiangdong Navy Division is called Wang Haozhi. A lame man said.

"The small one is the former Second Army of the Northwest and Northern Front, called Li Wengeng. Xiao Cui's father said.

“......”

These big men, almost all of them are sergeants of various front-line troops, who left the barracks because of their disabilities.

However, after returning to the city, there was no land in the city, and he was disabled and unemployed, and the subsidy issued by the military department was quickly exhausted, and he suddenly fell into a desperate situation.

"A dignified man, he actually relies on a six-year-old child to beg for a living," Lei Shaoxuan said coldly, "Do you still have the face to live?"

When everyone heard this, their faces showed shame, and they bowed their heads and said nothing.

"Sir," Li Wengeng said with a wry smile, "We have looked for jobs countless times, but our hands and feet are inconvenient, and we are quickly disliked. ”

Li Wen looked at Xiao Cui even more, his nose was sour, and his tiger eyes were full of tears.

"Watching the children go out to beg, we have nothing to do, in fact, we feel that life is better than death, and we really want to die. Li Wen lowered his head and choked, "But the children are so small, if we die, they will either be sold into the Qinglou, or they will be broken and begging, we just wait for them to be a little older, understand the matter, and then die not too late." ”

"Don't die, Dad. Xiao Cui was panicked when she heard this, and suddenly rushed over, grabbed Li Wengeng and cried.

Everyone wiped tears from their eyes.

Thinking of all the helplessness and helplessness he felt when he was in a desperate situation on death row, Lei Shaoxuan couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Wei Peng, can you still fight?" Lei Shaoxuan shouted.

"Yes, sir. When Wei Peng heard this, Huo Ran straightened his chest and said.

"How many people have happened to you like you?"

"Forty or fifty people. Wei Peng said.

"Okay!" Lei Shaoxuan looked at everyone's expectant eyes and said: "You are living in poverty, but you didn't steal and rob, and you haven't been a party to disaster, it's not easy, and you deserve to be a sergeant." ”

"The turbid world is unknown, the jackal is in charge, I need you to fight. Lei Shaoxuan looked at the crowd, "Everything is voluntary, there is a danger to life, what I can say is that if something happens to you, I will guarantee that your children will have no worries about food and clothing." ”

Wang Haozhi said with a smile, "It's not the first time to work hard, as long as you don't steal or rob, why don't you do it?"

"Oh, sell your life?" Lei Shaoxuan was surprised, "How much is a life?"

"Gang fights, sometimes ask us to participate," Wang Haozhi scratched his head, "It's only one tael of silver at a time, and fifty taels of death." ”

Lei Shaoxuan shook his head and said, "If you die, I will give you five hundred taels at a time, and if you have children, I will be responsible for their future lives." Wei Peng is the positive, Wang Haozhi is the deputy, contact the sergeant Luotuo who can be contacted, and gather in three days. ”

Lei Shaoxuan looked at Xiao Cui and said distressedly: "Xiao Cui, mouse, you guys go with your brother, don't beg in the future." ”

Guanghan Palace, Plum Blossom Hall.

Accompanied by beauties, Zhou Chong and Wang Fu were drinking and having fun.

"My lord, the news that you spent 1.2 million taels of silver to buy a Supreme Member of Bibo Mountain Villa has spread. Wang Fu hoarsely voiced, and said hatefully: "You must teach them a lesson, otherwise Guanghan Palace will become a joke." ”

Zhou Chong sneered: "Let him collapse for a few days, I have already invited a master, and let him return it with interest at that time." Sooner or later, I will take down that old lady and let their mother and daughter wait for me, such a stunning mother and daughter flower, rare in the world. ”

"I'm going to tear that kid to pieces, oops. Wang Fu covered his throat, slapped the woman in the face, and scolded: "Such a hot wine, you want to burn me to death? ”

The woman hurriedly covered her face and retreated, and a guard hurried through the door.

"My lord, no, hundreds of beggars are coming towards the Guanghan Palace. ”

When Zhou Chong and Wang Fu heard this, their faces turned pale.

Zhou Chong and Wang Fu never dreamed that the extremely lowly beggar would dare to make trouble in Guanghan Palace.

You must know that Guanghan Palace has stood by the cloud lake for decades and has never had an accident.

Everyone knows that the power behind the Guanghan Palace is strong, and no one dares to make trouble in the Guanghan Palace, and even the government turns a blind eye to some of the actions of the Guanghan Palace, and if there is something, it is also secretly negotiated, and it does not dare to find trouble openly.

"Quick! get all the guards ready," Zhou Chong said viciously, "I want to see who eats the bear's heart and leopard gall and dares to come to Guanghan Palace to make trouble." ”

A group of ragged beggars, holding white flags that read, "We want to eat." Some people are holding bamboo poles in their hands, knocking on bamboo poles while walking, and at a glance, it is quite lively.

The two sides of Yunhu Lake are quite prosperous, and it is a rare thing for so many beggars to gather, and pedestrians have looked sideways at the bustle.

Not long after, the group of beggars arrived at the gate of Guanghan Palace.

Suddenly, a group of black-clothed people rushed out of the Guanghan Palace, without saying a word, everyone held wooden sticks in their hands, waving them, and rushed into the crowd of beggars to smash them.

Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar, and they dispersed, revealing forty or fifty figures, most of whom were disabled, holding sharpened bamboo poles in their hands, faintly forming a military formation and surrounding the black-clothed people.

"Kill!" Wei Peng shouted, "Thorn the foot." ”

"Ahh

“......”

The man in black was caught off guard, and suddenly screamed again and again.

Although the men in black were strong and strong, they were unprepared, and they fought separately, how could they resist the military formation that had been prepared for a long time. The sharp bamboo poles sprinted in rows, and in a short time, more than a dozen people in black were poked to the ground.

"Strip them of their clothes, and sell them for a lot of money. ”

Hearing this, the scattered crowd regathered and swarmed up, and more than a dozen people in black were quickly stripped naked.

"Stop!"

Guanghan Palace rushed out of a group of black-clothed people, everyone with bows and arrows, lined up neatly, standing at the gate of Guanghan Palace, headed by Wang Fu.

Lei Shaoxuan followed the crowd watching the excitement, and when he saw this, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Bows and arrows are controlled weapons and are strictly managed. Guanghan Palace dared to openly hold a bow and arrow in broad daylight, and did not take the laws of the Northern Wei Dynasty in his eyes, which shows how lawless and unscrupulous the Guanghan Palace was in the past.

"What do you want to do? Don't you want to die?" Wang Fu said sharply, "The bow and arrow are ruthless, dare to take a step forward, and shoot on the spot." ”

"Guanghan Palace owes us money, and today we are here to collect the debt. Wei Peng said viciously, "It is natural to repay debts." ”

"How have we ever owed you money?" Wang Fu was shocked and angry.

"Three days ago, Guanghan Palace hired me to go to Bibo Villa to beg for food and make trouble, and said that I would give ten silver cars per person. Wei Peng said in a deep voice, "Shopkeeper Wang won't turn his face and deny it, right?"

"Why did we hire you?" Wang Fu was furious when he heard this, and flatly denied it.

"We have hundreds of certificates, and at that time you said that each person would give ten silver, otherwise we would have eaten enough and run all the way to Bibo Villa to make trouble?"

Wei Peng said coldly, "For you, a few of our leading people were invited to the lake to drink water, their wet clothes froze into ice, and they ran five or six miles in the ice and snow before returning to the city, freezing half their lives, and how many chickens (chickens) were frozen, do you want to admit it?"

"Yes, that's what the skinny monkey said. The beggars owe all their money, and they really lack virtue and arrive home. ”

"Yes, how can you freeze the chicken (chicken) and pay a hundred and eighty taels, otherwise the daughter-in-law will run away, will the Guanghan Palace take care of the daughter-in-law?"

"The chickens (chickens) are gone, what's the use of having a daughter-in-law?"

"Hmph, beggars work hard, lack of food and clothing, you owe all this money, are you human?"

“......”

The crowd was gossiping, talking, and passionate.

Wang Fu almost fainted.

The few people who were invited into the lake to drink water, except for the leader who was a beggar, the rest were all people from Guanghan Palace who pretended to be good or not, these people were gone, and they were clamoring for Guanghan Palace to find a way to send them into the palace as eunuchs.

What's more, I told the beggar gang that I would give one tael of silver for one person, but now it has become ten taels in the blink of an eye, why are these people so shameless.

Wang Fu gritted his teeth and said: "You are too shameless, don't go too far, dare to take a step forward and shoot them." ”
