Chapter 14: The Little Beggar

"The little real person is here!"

Yang Yun's arrival caused a sensation in the crowd.

Originally, they were all watching and catching thieves, but now they suddenly became onlookers, and many people wanted to come forward to greet Yang Yun to show their closeness, but they were blocked by Lin Geng and others.

"What's going on?"

Yang Yun walked up to the little beggar who was pressed to the ground and asked casually.

"I didn't steal anything, I picked up those money bags."

The little beggar made a muffled voice.

"I still deny it, I obviously saw that you stole it." The foreman scolded.

Yang Yun, the foreman of the yacha, knew Han Si, who had participated in the battle of burning barbarians before, and had just been promoted because of his military exploits.

Han Si stepped forward to salute: "Ask Xiao Zhenren's peace." caught a thief and searched for it to escort the person back to the yamen...... This little thing has a lot of hands and has made a lot of things. ”

Han Si showed off the five money bags that had been seized from the little beggar.

Among the five money bags, Wang Ji's money bag is the most conspicuous, the material is fine silk, Wang Ji was about to step forward to get it back, but Han Si stretched out his hand to block it.

"The thief just picked it up from Ben Gongzi." Wang Ji said with a calm face.

Han Si didn't reply immediately, Yang Yun smiled and said, "What he said is right, if it is correct, return it to him." ”

Han Si didn't check it when he heard this, and directly threw the money bag to Wang Ji, who quickly opened it to see the situation in the money bag, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered: "Obviously tied around the waist and separated by clothes, how did this little thief take it away?" ”

Yang Yun was stunned, and the picture of the little beggar pickpocketing instantly appeared in his mind, almost playing it back in slow motion.

In the flashing reproduction of the scene, Yang Yun found that the little beggar was almost separated by the king's clothes, and directly put the money bag into his hand.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "This is simply taking things apart!" How did he do it? Is it the result of a long period of training, or is there any special ability in him? ”

"Woo."

When Yang Yun paid attention to the little beggar again, he found that the little guy's sharp teeth were gone, and he couldn't stop crying, and the tears that fell washed out two white lines on his black face, looking pitiful.

Due to the frequent rebellion in the southern barbarians, Hanzhou, Pengzhou, Shuzhou and other prefectures and counties adjacent to the mountains of western Sichuan were not peaceful, and the war was spreading, the people were too busy to take care of themselves, their sympathy was slowly exhausted, and it was difficult to gain from honest begging...... Most of these children who do not have much physical strength will die of illness and starvation.

The little beggar was unkempt, and Yang Yun couldn't see his face clearly.

Yang Yun vaguely felt that this agile little beggar was not simple.

Han Siyi picked up the little beggar and said, "Why did you bother in the first place if you knew this was the case? The Tang Dynasty is rich and strong, and there are no such unsuccessful people, so they will be escorted back to the county commander for disposal. ”

Yacha was about to take people away, and Yang Yun asked, "Brother Han, what will you do if you encounter pickpockets in the past?" ”

Han Sidao: "Convict in court first...... The year is not good, there is no prison food for him to eat, and when the board is finished, he will be driven out of the city directly and let him fend for himself. ”

Yang Yun said with a smile: "Why don't you hand over the person to me, I will discipline him well, and by the way, let him help me do some work, as atonement?" ”

Yang Yun's words were very surprising, they didn't think that there was anything to pity about the little beggar who was a pickpocket.

Even Lin Geng reminded Yang Yun in a low voice: "Real person, this little thief has unclean hands and feet, you have to find someone to help, and some of them are from good families...... This man is not worthy of pity when he is a thief. ”

Yang Yun didn't explain much, and continued to beg Han Si.

Han Si had just relied on Yang Yunrong to be promoted to the foreman, and in the face of the request of a "big man" like Yang Yun, there was no choice at all.

"Since Xiao Zhenren has spoken, I will take the order myself, but Xiao Zhenren, you must not let this guy go casually, you have to wait for the county order to be sent behind." Han Sidao.

Yang Yun smiled and nodded: "Of course...... You also know my methods, and I will never let him escape easily, and I will not make it difficult for you and your brothers. ”

……

……

A dispute between the market ended with Yang Yun intervening to mediate.

Others were afraid to avoid this little beggar who was ragged and smelled all over his body, but Yang Yun felt pity for him, and of course, he was very curious about the little beggar's pickpocketing methods.

The yacha had already tied the little beggar's hands with a straw rope, holding one end in the hand, ready to take it back to the yamen, Yang Yun stepped forward to untie the rope, grabbed the little beggar's black hand, and led it all the way back to the workshop.

Wang Ji followed behind and took the opportunity to sneak into the courtyard of the workshop.

Yang Yun asked people to prepare some food, put it in a clay bowl, and put it in front of the little beggar.

The little beggar immediately reached out to grab the food, but was caught by Yang Yun, and the little beggar shook his hand again and again but couldn't break free, and immediately looked at Yang Yun in shame.

His face was dark, and he couldn't see his true face for a long time, only his slightly exposed teeth and a little white in his eyes.

The skin is not rough except for the dark, and there are no calluses or scars on the palms and fingertips.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "If it weren't for the military disaster, he should also be the master of a good life." ”

"If you want to eat, you have to wash your hands and face first, and then you can eat after washing it." Yang Yun's language is warm and authentic.

When Wang Ji entered the workshop, he immediately ran to observe the people who were grinding saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur, and then came over and said: "In the war-torn years, the streets are full of beggars, and it is good to have something to eat. ”

Yang Yun ignored it, and still said to the little beggar with a pleasant face: "Illness comes from the mouth, so you must develop the habit of washing your hands before and after eating...... Bring a basin of water. ”

A soldier went to the well to fetch water with a wooden basin, and Wang Ji took the initiative to take it in order to stay in the workshop, and brought the wooden basin to the stone platform beside Yang Yun.

"Master, when you go out, your whole body is covered with dust, you should wash it first...... This kid followed and washed two handfuls, and he was already naked. Wang Ji complimented.

Yang Yun turned a deaf ear and said to the little beggar, "After washing your face and hands, you can eat...... This is the rule, there is no rule without a circle, do you understand my words? ”

The little beggar's eyes were bright, his eyes were bright, and with the vitality of a child, he looked at the fragrant white rice and the diving kimchi that accompanied the food, and his eyes lit up, and he swallowed vigorously. But he didn't dare to stretch out his hand, and the five big and three rough and evil men around him scared him.

He looked up at Yang Yun, nodded heavily, and obediently followed what Yang Yun said, stretched out his hand, came to the basin on the stone platform, and rubbed his hands vigorously with the soap, and soon the basin of water was black.

Yang Yun asked Wang Ji to fetch a basin of water, and then took a piece of cloth out of the house and threw it to the little beggar to use to wash his face.

Seeing that the basin of water had changed color again, Wang Ji teased: "Tsk, this is obviously to take off a layer of mud!" ”

It took a great deal of effort for the little beggar to wash his hands and wipe most of the dirt off his face.

Yang Yun looked carefully, the little guy has slender willow eyebrows, dark and clear eyes, a straight nose, soft and full cherry lips and beautiful and smooth cheeks, all of which are just right gathered on the same pure and refined beauty, full of beauty billets...... That's right, this is a living girl, not a teenager.

The little beggar looked at Yang Yun, his eyes were full of longing, as if he was asking for instructions, can I eat?

Yang Yun smiled and said, "You can eat if you want...... Follow me in the future, you will have food when the matter is done, but you can't leave the courtyard for the time being, unless the county government has been convicted and your guilt has been forgiven, otherwise you will be punished as a fugitive, and I will spank you when you are caught......"

The little beggar glanced at Yang Yun, his sleeves were not raised, he quickly picked up the pottery bowl with his left hand, and with his right hand, he took a few slices of pickled radish from a small dish into the rice, pinched it into a rice ball shape three or two times, and immediately brought it to his mouth and devoured it.
