The shopkeeper's words made me and Deng Yi stunned on the spot, and our eyes became vigilant, how did this guy know my identity, did I have the words "I am a princess" written on my face?

Seeing that Deng Yi and I didn't look right, the shopkeeper hurriedly explained in a low voice for fear of being heard by others, and said: "Last night, the princess and the general had some 'conflicts' with people outside the villain's shop, and the villain was standing at the door at that time, but the princess didn't notice it, the villain heard your conversation, and the villain's shop was facing the yamen, so it is not surprising that the villain knows what is going on." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

The shopkeeper's words caught my attention, and what he said was not unreasonable, so I bowed my head slightly, and didn't pursue it more.

Soon, Xiao Er made tea, and the shopkeeper poured me a cup of Deng Yi alone, and said, "Princess, try it, this year's new tea is still appetizing." ”

I took a sip and nodded, "The tea is good." "I'm telling the truth, this tea is really good, although I don't know how to taste tea, but I can still distinguish between good and bad.

The shopkeeper was happy, and then said: "Then you two will use tea first, and the villain will go to Zhang Luo to eat, please wait for a while!" ”

I bowed my head.

The shopkeeper retreated, and then I whispered to Deng Yi: "It seems that we have come to the right place." ”

Deng Yi raised his eyebrows inexplicably, indicating that he didn't understand.

I didn't say much, whether there was any gain, I will see later, and he smiled and added tea to Deng Yi.

Deng Yi saw that I didn't say anything or ask me, so he happily let me add tea to his cup and then drank it in a big gulp.

I shook my head, drinking like him, any good tea let him spoil it.

The shopkeeper's hands and feet are sharp, and it doesn't take long for the food to be ready.

"You two try it, if it doesn't suit your taste, the villain will let the kitchen be redone."

I glanced at the table of food, about a dozen, and all of them were full of color, aroma, and taste, and they looked very good, the kind that made people feel appetizing.

But I frowned slightly, he prepared so many meals, Deng Yicai and me, how can we finish eating?

When the shopkeeper saw me frowning, he thought I was not satisfied with the food, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly asked, "The princess thinks it's not good, I'll let the kitchen be redone!" ”

As he spoke, he reached out and was about to remove the food that had been put on the table.

Seeing this, I hurriedly stopped him, "Alas~ Shopkeeper, it's not that your meal is not good, it's that you have made so much, there are only two of us, we can't eat, it's a waste." ”

After I finished speaking, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "So that's the case!" "Look at me with a few more stars in my eyes.

"Hmm." I nodded and said, "Sit down with you, shopkeeper!" ”

The shopkeeper was so frightened by my words that he opened his mouth wide, and it took a long time to say a word: "Princess, the princess is joking, villain, how can I sit at the same table with you!" As he spoke, he wiped a cold sweat.

"There are not so many rules in my place, the shopkeeper doesn't have to be so nervous, sit down, there are so many dishes, the two of us can't finish it, besides, this princess still has some things I want to ask you."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he didn't squirm, sat down a little stiffly, and said, "If there is anything you want to know, just ask, just ask, and ask for advice, but the villain really can't afford it." ”

I had a good impression of the shopkeeper, and I said, "Then let's eat and talk!" ”

said that it was eating and chatting, but in fact, it was only me and Deng Yi who moved the chopsticks, and the shopkeeper looked at it cautiously.

Deng Yi served me vegetables from time to time, which made me a little uncomfortable, and I always felt that something was wrong, so when Deng Yi picked up the vegetables again, I moved the bowl without a trace and turned to the shopkeeper for questioning.

"Shopkeeper, can you ask, do you know the boy who was chased and beaten?"

The shopkeeper glanced out the door and said, "He! The whole Yuncheng people know him, his name is Cang'er, he is an orphan, his parents died early, he lived with his grandmother in his early years, and although the grandfather and grandson lived hard, they could barely survive. But three years ago, the group of bandits rushed into Yuncheng, Cang'er was taken away by the bandits, leaving the old man, missing his grandson very much, and not long after, he died of illness, the old man was helpless, or the villagers helped each other take care of the aftermath. Alas! What a pathetic! ”

The shopkeeper sighed and continued.

In the shopkeeper's account, I roughly learned that after Cang'er was kidnapped by bandits, about half a year later, he somehow came back.

After coming back, Cang'er's whole person seemed to have changed into a different person, skinny as wood, there was no good place on his body, new injuries and old injuries were superimposed, and there were pus in some places.

Cang'er didn't talk to anyone, and the neighbors asked him where he had been for the past six months, but he didn't say a word, and his temperament became violent, shouting and killing at every turn, like a fierce beast, and everyone was not easy to provoke him.

Knowing that his grandmother had passed away, Cang'er kept watch in front of the grave without crying or making a fuss for three days and three nights, and then disappeared for a period of time.

It's been a month since he came back again, and he is still covered in scars, and there are a few new wounds on his face, and most of his face is stained with blood, which looks strange and scary.

Cang'er came back this time, but somewhere got into the problem of stealing, the petty theft at the beginning, the big guys didn't care about him for his pitiful sake, but the more he got worse, not only stealing, but also robbing in broad daylight.

What he stole was not a small amount, and it was hundreds of taels of silver for one steal.

The neighbors had no way to take him, and wanted to report to the official, but they couldn't bear to look at the child.

Several large families in the county were stolen, where would they take care of these, reported a few times, Cang'er was beaten half to death several times, and thrown into the back mountain, everyone thought that the child would not live, but the result was a big life, and he survived several times.

But Cang'er didn't stop because of the previous lesson, and still robbed, and some people even suspected that the theft of Hu County's Ling's house was done by Cang'er.

Juan Zhi sent someone to arrest Cang'er, but he escaped, Juan Zhi wanted to take this opportunity to make a profit, this is the scene when we went into the city to investigate before, as long as the people with a lot of money and property were arrested for the crime of gangsterry.

Not only that, but there are also restaurants and shops, which have not escaped the catastrophe, and have been cleaned up by Juan.

"We are a small business, we can't make a lot of money, since the big man Hu is seriously ill, the sky in Yuncheng has changed, bandits are rampant, corrupt officials are in charge, where do we ordinary people have any days, and it is a day to mix with each other." The shopkeeper said.

My eyes sank, and I felt a little bit of hatred and anger towards Juan Zhi, and I didn't know how to feel distressed about the child in Cang'er, so I just looked at him, and he was only a thirteen-year-old child, but the encounter was chilling.

Cang'er, the Cang'er who wanders with the wind, clings to others and doesn't know where to go. It would be nice if he was just like his name, just Cang'er, and not so much distressing.
