Chapter Ninety-Seven: Road Encounters

Hearing the shouting, several people paused, looked back, and saw a woman at the corner of the street they had just passed fell to the ground, shouting to catch the thief, and another young girl dressed as a girl was running forward with her skirt a few steps forward, with a look of urgency, and pointed to a small man in a blue-gray cloth dress who was jumping around in front of him, and shouted: "Little thief! zhanzhu! Pay back my aunt's money! ”

The girl was angry because of her anger, her face was flushed, and her delicate face was more delicate than flowers, as bright as a pink peach, and she looked at several young brothers on the side of the road with shining eyes, and whispered around them, but they didn't help, thinking that they were playing with other ideas.

Wei Lan frowned, seeing that the thief had gone to another street, it was indeed a little far away from them, and it was too flamboyant to chase them now...... I didn't want to, the crowd over there suddenly stirred, and I heard the man's terrible scream, and then I cried bitterly, and it turned into a wail in zuihou.

"Looks like someone has made a move." Li Yan, who was standing with Wei Lan, said excitedly.

"Let's take a look?" Another janissary named Wang Dayong was also in high spirits.

"It's just a thief, what's there to see." Wei Lan didn't care. If the thief fled to them, he could have caught it.

"Xiaowei, you don't know, the thieves in this area all have a way, they pick on outsiders, and they don't make it difficult for the poor. Look at that aunt and nephew, they're pretty well dressed, aren't they? Although he didn't bring an attendant with him...... No, I brought a maid, it turned out that the maid had just gone shopping...... "Wang Dayong looked at while explaining, everyone followed his line of sight, and sure enough, they saw two women dressed as maids wearing green beetle goose yellow with pink floral skirts and green trousers around the woman, one of them helped the woman up, and patted the dust on the woman's body while comforting, and the other chased the girl, and really took something in his hand. Looking at the maid's movements, she should have practiced, otherwise she wouldn't have gone out like this without a manservant.

"Those thieves have a doorway, and it must not be the first time they have committed crimes, so why don't the government care?" Wei Lan said coldly.

"Sometimes, the government needs to use these gangsters to do things for them." Wang Dayong glanced at Wei Lan meaningfully. He stayed in the yamen, and later because of his good skills, he went to the door again and joined the guard. The salary of the Praetorian Guard is more than that of the Janissaries, as long as you don't make mistakes and don't encounter major incidents, and protect the palace and that one. Of course, they are also at the forefront when encountering a major rebellion, which is very dangerous, but compared to messing around in the yamen, the guards can still rely on their ability to go up. He was transferred at the beginning of the year, during the internal purge of the Praetorian Guards.

Wei Lan heard him say this and didn't squeak again. He also goes out a lot, and he knows a little bit about things on the road, and sometimes, the gang's action is faster and more effective than that of the government.

As if they had said yes, a few people turned their feet and went towards the scene of the thief catch. Anyway, being idle is also idle, and there is excitement and not looking at it.

Wang Dayong is really curious, someone dares to provoke the matter of the Tiger Gang.

At the end of the West Market, there are indeed several gangs in charge, and the Weihu Gang is the largest and most shili one. Otherwise, so many wealthy merchants, pharmaceutical merchants, and jade merchants, when there is a dispute, the government is always very annoying, and the government is more ruthless than the gang, and it is not easy to do things.

As they got closer, the thief's wails had weakened, and only sobs remained. Then, the girl's sweet and cheerful voice, with a hint of shyness, was thanking Eun Gong, and asking the other party's name and surname, so that he could repay it in the future.

"No need, but it's a matter of effort."

Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Wei Lan only felt that her scalp was numb, and she wanted to run away, and she was afraid that she would be mistaken for it, so she wanted to push aside the crowd and come forward to see what was going on.

It was Gonggong Deng who spoke. Although he deliberately suppressed his voice and changed his image, his unique voice still couldn't deceive Wei Lan, who had been with him for many years. He was raised by Gonggong Deng, and even martial arts were instructed by him.

Gonggong Deng appeared here, so, the emperor?

Sure enough, a chubby figure stood in the crowd, his eyes swept coldly, and his momentum of not being angry forced the crowd to immediately separate from each other.

The graceful and handsome man stood behind him, with a pale look on his face, and his eyes were not looking anywhere, a little loose and uninteresting.

There were also two men of medium stature standing behind him, which Wei Lan had never seen.

Dark Dragon Guard?

Wei Lan's eyes flashed slightly, and he was hesitating whether to step forward, but Gonggong Deng had already seen him, and immediately glanced at him, and the two mustaches on his lips trembled slightly, which was quite funny.

Wei Lan grinned and didn't go up.

The emperor also looked at it, looking slightly stunned, but the girl suddenly stood in front of her, temporarily blocking her vision.

Gao Shenghan frowned.

"Engong, please accept the little girl's worship!" The girl bowed down.

Gao Shenghan didn't dodge. There are people kneeling in the palace every day, and she is used to it. Besides, the thief was not caught by her, it was obviously Long Yi who made the move, no, it was not Long Yi who took the initiative, but the thief rushed into the road and annoyed Long Yi, so he kicked him. Who knew that the thief would fall to the ground and wail so unexpectedly.

Without waiting for the girl to get up, Gao Shenghan raised his foot and passed directly to the side, and almost stepped on the other party's skirt that fell to the ground. Gonggong Deng was shy, glanced at the girl, and secretly disdainful: With this posture, he dares to think of the master!

The girl watched the group of four leave without squinting, her face was blue and red, and she was very uncomfortable and embarrassed. The crowd of onlookers whispered and pointed, as if accusing the thief and laughing at her. She stood up aggrievedly, her little face flushed, and she longed for a crack in the ground to get in.

The maid behind the girl took the money bag handed over by the other party, thanked her again and again, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her young lady.

The crowd had no excitement to see and gradually dispersed.

Gao Shenghan passed by Wei Lan, paused slightly, raised his eyes slightly, pursed his lips, and went straight forward.

Li Yan and the others had never seen the emperor's true face, but they felt that this young man's expression and demeanor were very elegant, and his temperament was different from that of others, and he was followed by two guards who couldn't see the depth of kung fu, so they secretly guessed the identity of the other party.

Only Wang Dayong's face changed slightly. He had seen the emperor! Although I only glanced at it from a distance, it's just that I can mix well in the yamen and be valued and promoted by Li Ming, how can I do it without any ability? ! He has the ability to see people and never forget!

This young man is this year! That fat man...... Isn't it Gonggong Deng?

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Wang Dayong's back.

What to do, are they going to follow or are they pretending not to know? The West Market is mixed, if something happens......

I was really afraid of something, looking at the two people who were obviously from the Weihu Gang who were quietly approaching and following behind the emperor, Wang Dayong sighed and followed resignedly.
