7. Adopt a small stone

Don't look at these aunts and grandmothers who usually look trembling and trembling, and they are about to fall when the wind blows, I just heard the guy shouting: "Mung bean cake is cheap today, two boxes for a penny." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" suddenly felt that the earth was trembling, a group of women flocked to the door, and forced Jin Huang to the side of the door, there was a look at the short stature, gray hair of the old woman, like a rolling wood and stones, straight forward, Jin Huang hurriedly dodged to the side, that unstoppable, determined to win, no one dared to push it.

The room was crowded, Jin Huang looked at the emptiness, and showed the golden phoenix earrings to the shopkeeper, who knew that this was the symbol of the most distinguished guest of Wanhualou, and hurriedly invited Jin Huang into the inner room, and ordered someone to serve fragrant tea. Jin Huang asked straight to the point: "What is the relationship between the Emperor Xingmen and the imperial court of the Northern Dynasty?" ”

The old shopkeeper nodded: "This will take half a month, please wait patiently." "No matter which country, when it comes to matters in the imperial court, especially such a confidential matter, it is Wanhualou's ability to find out what is going on in half a month. Naturally, she didn't have any opinions, made a note in the account book, and got up to leave.

When the curtain came out, it was still crowded outside, and it was very noisy. It's really easy to talk about some secrets in this place, not to mention that it's far away, even if you stand at the door and listen, you can't hear what the people in the house are saying. As soon as the cheap mung bean cake was sold out, those people dispersed, and the store was suddenly quiet, so Jin Huang was able to get close to the shelf with pastries, the freshly baked rose crisp was fragrant, and the sweet potato cake sprinkled with sparkling frosting, and couldn't help but buy some to take home.

Just a few steps out of Wanhualou, her keen intuition told her that someone was staring at her on the side, and she couldn't help but be vigilant, moved the rose cake to her left hand, quietly retracted her right hand into her sleeve, and slowly unsheathed the dagger.

A gust of wind came from behind, and sure enough, there were people, Jin Huang, who had been on guard, twisted his eyebrows and flashed sideways, and at the same time, his right hand flipped over, and he was almost about to show off his dagger. If you look closely, she is a child, her clothes are tattered and dirty, it turns out to be a beggar, and the target should be the cake in her hand. "Tsk, even if it's a child, you shouldn't rob things, beggars should abide by the rules of beggars, and learn what robbers do." As soon as the words came out, Jin Huang remembered what Xue Lie said: "I keep preaching like an old lady." I can't help but feel funny.

The beggar didn't succeed in a blow, so he ran forward with his legs, for fear that Jin Huang would catch up and beat him. Originally, Jin Huang didn't want to chase him at all, but if he cried or begged for mercy, maybe she would be happy, not only forgive him, but also give him the cake in her hand to eat. After running like this, Jin Huang suddenly had a very unhappy feeling: Could it be that I can't outrun this kid. With her inexplicable competitive spirit for no reason, she raised her breath and hurried forward, and after a few leaps, she landed in front of the beggar: "If you want to grab my things, it's not so easy!" ”

The beggar ran out of breath, and when he saw Jin Huang jumping in front of him from behind him, he was already sitting on the ground in shock: "You are a monster." Jin Huang sneered: "Monsters dare to rob everything, so what are you?" ”

A familiar figure emerged from the crowd of onlookers: "Don't swagger here. It turned out to be Xue Lie, and he whispered to Jin Huang: "Uncle Zhao is taking over business again, go back quickly." Jin Huang nodded, and was about to leave, but saw the beggar kneeling in front of her: "Kind sister, take me in, I have no father or mother, and I'm about to starve to death." ”

Jin Huang frowned, and gave him a bag of sweet potato cakes: "Eat it all when you starve to death, Ah Lie, let's go." Xue Lie smiled: "Why don't you give him the rose cake?" ”

"I like to eat rose cakes, so if I haven't bought sweet potato cakes."

"Uncle Zhao knows that he has to blow his beard and stare again."

"Stare at it."

The two talked and laughed and left. The people around saw that there was no excitement to see, and they gradually dispersed. The beggar held a bag of sweet potato cakes, hid in a remote alley, ate a lot, just ate one, and a few adult beggars came around on the side, reaching out to grab it, where could this little child rob the adults, no matter how he struggled, the big bag of sweet potato cakes was still snatched away.

He looked at the backs of the adult beggars leaving in a daze, lowered his head, hugged his knees, and the tears of grievance kept falling.

"It's really useless, you know to cry, you're so old and you can only cry." A voice without a hint of sympathy sounded in front of him. He looked up and saw Jin Huang standing in front of him with his waist crossed: "If you have the ability to snatch things back, I will take you in, if you can't snatch it back, you will fend for yourself, anyway, you are a waste." ”

When the beggar heard this, he glared: "Really? ”

Jin Huang raised his eyebrows and said, "Naturally, it's true, can you grab it back?" The beggar gritted his teeth and chased after the beggars where they had gone.

Xue Lie was puzzled and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Jin Huang smiled, with a memory expression on his face: "When I was his age, I had already entered the Golden Courtyard and learned a bunch of things every day...... Don't you think it's time to train some young people? ”

Xue Lie squinted at her: "Young man, young man, how old are you yourself." ”

"As soon as I entered the rivers and lakes, my heart was old."

The beggar didn't come back for a long time, and Xue Lie said, "Let's go, he can't snatch it back." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the beggar dragging back a torn paper bag containing sweet potato cakes. There were wounds and blood stains on his body, and it looked like it was painful, but he gritted his teeth and stood firm. Seeing Jin Huang, he stretched out his hand and let her see the paper bag in his hand: "I snatched it back, my sister has to talk and count." ”

Jin Huang nodded: "Count, how old are you this year?" What is your name? ”

The beggar thought for a moment: "Six? Or maybe seven years old, I don't know, no one told me. I don't have a name, and everyone calls me a little begging for food. ”

Jin Huang smiled: "Look at your hard temper and hard bones, is it okay to call you a little stone?" The beggar nodded, and Jin Huang continued: "Are you afraid of hardship? The beggar patted his chest and said, "Don't be afraid." ”

"In the future, you will do whatever I tell you to do?"

"As long as my sister takes me in, I will listen to my sister for everything."

"Let's go, go home."

Uncle Zhao, who was waiting for the sweet potato cake, saw Jin Huang and Xue Lie bring back a little child, the child was holding a paper bag in his hand, and the paper bag contained the sweet potato cake that had been crushed, and looked at Jin Huang puzzled: "What's going on?" ”

Jin Huang smiled: "This kid got into a fight with someone in order to protect the sweet potato cake, so I brought him back." ”

Meaningless lies, Uncle Zhao didn't speak, just looked at her silently, waiting for her to tell the truth herself.

Sure enough, she said honestly: "This is an orphan without a father and mother, some courage, some means, I think it's good, so I brought it back." Uncle Zhao knocked on the cigarette pot: "Those masters in the courtyard are gone, I haven't taken a child, will you?" Jin Huang shook his head, and Uncle Zhao looked at Xue Lie again, who ran back to his room with a smoke, pretending that nothing had happened.

Uncle Zhao sighed: "It's not easy to teach children. Jin Huang smiled: "Although I can't teach, I remember how I was taught." Remember what I can't accept, and don't do to others what I don't want. Uncle Zhao, you don't have to worry when you're old. By the way, his name is Xiaoshi, and he happens to have an empty room, let him live there. ”

Taking advantage of the gap between Aunt Liu and Xiaoshi to clean up the room together, Jin Huang asked, "Uncle Zhao, what business did you take?" ”

"I haven't picked it up yet, wait for you to come back, and ask if you'd like to. Someone entrusted us to protect Du Chengyu, the secretary of the household department. ”

Hearing this name, Jin Huang suddenly raised his head: "Someone, Hanlin Du Shuyan, right?" ”

"Not really, it's a girl."

"I think it's either Akane or Poria cocos, this person is really strange, I don't need someone in my hands, what do you want me to do."

Uncle Zhao waited for her decision and did not answer.

Sitting on the stone bench, he reached out and took a piece of rose cake, Jin Huang thought while chewing, and preliminarily judged that if he agreed to this, even if the protection was not effective, at least it would not cause chaos. Thinking about it, Du Shuyan had already guessed that the emperor would ask himself to make a move, and the style of the file of Dali Siqing was obvious, and it was definitely not done by the desert emperor.

Each killer has its own style for employers to accept. At the same time, it also facilitates the government's investigation of the case, but there are too many wisps involved in it, even if you know who committed the case, you won't be able to get anyone for a while, unless it's a big case, and if it drags on for a long time, it won't be over.

Dali Siqing, a first-class official, this can be regarded as one of the best cases, but I am afraid that the Blood League will not be able to get rid of it. No matter how powerful it is, it's just sneaky and hard to get by. Jin Huang thought very clearly about this, so she hardly took on business related to the imperial court. I don't know what is wrong in the minds of the people of the Blood Alliance, and they dare to take on such a business.

Instead of worrying about others, it is better to focus more on your own stall. If you take Gao Xuanwu's list, it will go against your mind not to be involved with the court, and if you take Du Shuyan's list, you will be a direct enemy of Gao Xuanwu, although that guy is very annoying, but it will not be enough to meet him with a knife and a gun.

If they are all pushed, not to mention that the silver cannot be earned, and it is equivalent to offending both sides, Gao Xuanwu is a peer, Du Shuyan is a compatriot of the same country, and there will always be business dealings.

It didn't seem right to do anything, and after eating a pack of rose crisps, I didn't come to a conclusion. After Aunt Liu cleaned up the house, she called everyone to dinner. With his stomach full and where he could still eat, Jin Huang only sat down and drank a bowl of soup, then got up and left the table, saying that he would go out for a walk. Looking at the little pebbles and gobbling up, Jin Huang also commanded more: "Slow down, don't swallow." ”

I had something in my heart, so I didn't deliberately choose which road, I just walked along the straight avenue in the city, and I went out of the city gate unconsciously. Today, there is a lot of excitement outside the city gate, and I only know that the emperor will sacrifice to the sky tomorrow, and he has already left the city at this time and rested in the palace for one night.

Anyway, I have nothing to do, so it's better to take a look from afar, what the so-called Ninety-Five Supreme is like. Jin Huang followed the location of the palace in his memory. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
