Chapter 19: A Call for Help
It was only after a few soldiers beat the fat cook to the point that his nose was swollen and half dead, and returned the extorted money, that Bai Qi let them go. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Okay, okay, hurry up and get people away, and leave it here to affect the city's appearance. Bai Qi waved his hand.
A few of the soldiers left with the fat cook with a look of grief on their faces, and all they had to think about now was how to deal with the Night Stalker's revenge at the Tavern.
Seeing that there was no excitement to see, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. Bai Qi put down the little girl in his hand and said to her, "You go." ”
This little girl has a vegetable face, probably because she is hungry and anxious to steal those steamed buns, Bai Qi doesn't want to delve into this.
In order to survive, I can't blame her, if I want to blame the world.
This little girl was probably a little lacking in heart, Bai Qi asked her to go, she really left, and after taking a few steps, she remembered that she should thank her, and hurriedly turned around, but she couldn't even see Bai Qi's shadow. The girl was very ashamed, and suddenly remembered the name of Bai Qi.
"Bai Qi, yes, I will definitely repay you. The girl swore in her heart.

"You're going to teach that fat man a lesson from the beginning, right?"
The person who asked this was Mikasa. Before the recruitment was over, Bai Qi picked a pick, she couldn't cope with it, so she came over and wanted to "catch" Bai Qi to go back to work. When Bai Qi rectified the fat man, she mixed in with the crowd of onlookers and watched strongly. When the matter was over, when Bai Qi left, she followed.
"Sort of. Bai Qi said. He didn't plan to help the little thief, but he decided to make a move after listening to the fat cook tell him how to deal with the little thief.
"In that case, then why do you still give money to that fat man? She wondered.
"Do you think theft is correct?" Bai Qi asked rhetorically.
"Of course not. ”
"That's it, the little girl stole something, she should pay the price, but she can't afford it, so I helped her out. After thinking about it, Bai Qi added. "If there is no price to be paid for evil, then everyone will do evil. ”
Mikasa frowned, "But you got the money back!"
"Nope. Bai Qi shook his head. "The money has been lost to the fat cook, and it is his. I'm not taking my own money back, I'm robbing him of it. ”
Mikasa rolled her eyes: "Robbery is worse than theft, okay." ”
"Let him blackmail me over my head, this is a lesson for him. ”
"What about the soldiers? You don't teach them?"
"Why didn't you teach them a lesson? I let them beat up the fat cook, and afterwards, the fat cook would definitely trouble them, and this is the lesson for them. ”
"Tsk, that's not your style. ”
"Oh, what do you think I'm going to do. ”
Mikasa thought for a moment and said, "Hang them up and beat them." ”
Bai Qi laughed: "To deal with such scum, it's too cheap to do it yourself." ”
Mikasa was silent for a while, and suddenly remembered what was going on: "You should go back and deal with the recruitment matter." ”
"I'm going to check out the other stores, and I'll leave this matter to you. ”
Bai Qi killed the merchants who were making trouble for him and took over their resources, and this so-called resource naturally included the shops of those merchants, or how could he be said to be the most powerful merchant in the Testro district?
Hearing Shiraku's words, Mikasa looked embarrassed: "I'm afraid that I can't handle it well, and if I recruit someone with a problem, it will be troublesome." ”
"It's okay, you write down the right people, and I'll choose when you come back. ”
"Eh, don't you decide on the spot? How do you notify the chosen person? Is it difficult to come to the door. ”
"Why bother with it, you tell them that the recruitment results will come out in three days, and then we will post a list in front of the store for them to see for themselves, and the selected people will come to work by themselves. ”
"Okay. ”

After seeing the last shop, Bai Qi went home, passing by the tailor's shop in Kalula, and Bai Qi went to pay a visit.
Because he was taken care of by Bai Qi a lot, Kalula had to keep him down for dinner, and Bai Qi did not refuse. When it was time for dinner, Allen, who was working in the pioneer area, returned. Seeing Bai Qi, he was taken aback, and Bai Qi's murder left a big shadow on him.
During the meal, Calula asked about Allen's Pioneer District. This was originally a small talk, and Bai Qi didn't think much about it, but he heard a message related to him from Allen's mouth.
Hrista, the doll-like girl, is in trouble.
The owner of Hrista was a minor aristocrat. The little nobleman bought a meadow in the frontier area, made a pasture, and raised some sheep, and it was he who hired Christa to raise the sheep. Last night, Bai Qi saved her, and in order to repay Bai Qi, she secretly squeezed some goat's milk and gave it to Bai Qi. Originally, it wasn't a big deal, just a bottle of goat's milk, but I didn't expect it to be known to the little nobleman.
Although Hrista was young, her beauty was difficult to hide, and it was conceivable that she would be even more beautiful when she grew up, and that little nobleman had been beating her up for a long time, and he would not have hired her if it weren't for that.
Although he was fighting Christa's idea, the little nobleman never found the right opportunity to attack, but this time, he found an excuse.
A bottle of goat's milk is really nothing, but the problem is that sheep are the property of petty nobles, and of course goat's milk is. Christa stole a bottle of goat's milk without permission, which can be regarded as stealing the property of the nobles. The little nobleman held on to this and threatened Hrista to either get rid of him or take her to court.
After listening to Allen's speech, Calula sighed, "These nobles are really hateful. ”
"How is the little girl now?" Bai Qi asked casually. It had something to do with him, after all, Christa had done it to repay him.
The nobleman gave her a day to think about it. Alan replied.
"Aren't you afraid that she will take the opportunity to escape?" Bai Qi asked.
"I heard that someone was sent to keep an eye on her. Alan said.
Bai Qi nodded and didn't ask any more.
After eating, Bai Qi went home, trained Sylvie daily, and then rested.
In the middle of the night.
"Boom!"
A sudden crash sounded, especially noticeable in the silence of the night. This kind of sound is especially familiar to bear children, it is the sound of stones hitting windows. Bai Qi turned over and got up, walked to the window, and opened the window.
"Who?" he whispered, suppressing his displeasure.
"Mr. Bai, it's me. A familiar voice came.
Bai Qi looked down and saw that a petite figure was waving at him, and he fixed his eyes to see if it was not Herrista. Her face was full of nervousness, and she looked around from time to time, as if she was hiding from something.
Bai Qi went downstairs, opened the door, and Christa immediately got in.
"What are you doing smashing my window in the middle of the night?" Bai Qi asked.
"Mr. Bai, please help me. Christa pleaded, grabbing her white hand.
