Chapter 21: Meet the Beggar
The guests in the hall had already left when Wang Laohu was looking for trouble, and after Qin Han made a move, the birds and beasts were scattered.
As soon as Qin Han turned around, he saw Wang Laohu and several people lying on the ground and wailing continuously, and when a stick fell on Wang Laohu's head, Wang Laohu lost his voice.
"Damn, dare to say that Lao Tzu's cooking is not delicious, are you tired of living? Next time, I'm going to pull out your tongue. Bah. Gong Zisong threw the stick in his hand on the ground and scolded.
"What's the matter, why are you looking at me like that? I said I could hit 10 people at a time. ”
Qin Han put away his jaw that dropped in shock, he thought that Gong Zisong was just bragging that day, and laughed at him that he could hit a hundred of them at a time. Who would have thought that he would be slapped in the face by Gong Zisong today. Regardless of whether he can fight ten at a time, anyway, when Qin Han wasted his old efforts to clean up Liu Lai, Gong Zisong cleaned up Wang Laohu and the three by himself, and fortunately, Wang Laohu only came with four people, if he brought seven or eight, it would be difficult to say the result.
Qin Han shook his head and didn't think about anything else, no matter what, today is considered to be a relief.
Qin Han waved his hand and said to the sober Ma San and the other Wang Laohu's junior brother. "Take your boss with you, and next time, it's not as simple as being knocked unconscious."
The two younger brothers limped away with Wang Laohu and Liu Lai as if they had been granted amnesty.
Walking out of the restaurant, Wang Laohu's little brother looked back with palpitations and asked Ma San. "Brother Ma, what should we do?"
"Tear." As soon as Ma San was about to open his mouth, he pulled the wound.
"What to do? Hmph, go back first, and when the boss wakes up, we are gathering people and demolishing this restaurant. Ma San looked at a restaurant with hatred, wait, you will have a good life soon.
Watching Ma San and the others leave, Qin Han hurriedly sat on the table, picked up the teapot and took a big sip directly to his mouth.
Qin Han wiped his mouth and looked at the messy hall, except for the six of himself, there was no one else, the guests had already run out, it seemed that it would not be able to open today.
Qin Han knocked on the table with his fingers, and today he and Wang Laohu stabbed the window paper. Although he won the battle today, he just relied on the fact that the other party had few people, and I believe that when Wang Laohu woke up, he would gather people and take it here. Looks like it's going to have to be arranged right away.
"Uncle Jiu, you take Xiaoliu Xiaoquan to clean up the inn, there is no way to continue to open the door today, so close it first." Lao Song, take me to the Chenghuang Temple on the outskirts of the city to meet the beggars. Qin Han thought about it for a while and made an arrangement.
"Yes, uncle."
……
At the entrance of Fan Lou, a figure ran towards the store in a panic.
Because Li Gui was clever and more active in Fan Lou, he was arranged by Zhang Yuanwai to keep an eye on Youjia Restaurant.
Li Gui is very satisfied with this errand, the shopkeeper of a restaurant rarely goes out, Li Gui basically doesn't have to do anything every day, he can get twenty wen, the errand in the restaurant doesn't have to take care of it, the salary is taken according to the salary, and it is twice as much as the original every month.
Li Gui stayed in a place where he could see the entire hall of Youjia Restaurant as usual today, and watched Wang Laohu and his party enter the restaurant with a smile and a smile, Li Gui was a little envious.
The old man said that Wang Laohu was called by him to look for trouble. Wang Laohu can be seen eating and drinking in the store every day, and he can get the usual money when he leaves. It's always money, and the money you get in one day is worth making some extra money for a month.
Li Gui stretched his waist, it seemed that today was another day of nothing. I moved my neck, found a comfortable position, and leaned against the wall to sleep.
"Bang."
The sound of the table slamming on the floor woke up Li Gui, who was not asleep, Li Gui cursed, rubbed his neck, and looked for the source of the sound.
When he saw that some guests began to walk out of a restaurant in a hurry, and there were constant sounds of abuse and fighting, Li Gui's heart tightened, and he quickly moved to the vicinity. Don't miss anything important, or you won't be able to explain it to the master.
Before Li Gui could reach the door, the sound inside stopped. Li Gui stopped, stretched out his head to look into the restaurant, and vaguely saw a few people lying inside, which was not very real.
Li Gui rubbed his hands, this Wang Laohu is worthy of being eaten by fighting and mixing rice, and the people in the restaurant can't get up after three or two hits.
I don't know what the people inside said, so two people carried one on each side, and limped out. Getting closer and closer to Li Gui, Li Gui looked at it, and his face changed instantly, isn't this Wang Laohu, how was it Wang Laohu who was beaten.
Li Gui was slightly stunned, and when he saw the two of them walking out of the door again, Li Gui hurriedly covered his body behind the wall. "It's broken, something happened."
Li Gui and the others left completely, stumbling into the Fan Tower.
……
Zhang Yuanwai was in a good mood today, he was called to the Hou Mansion by Young Master Hou yesterday, and learned that Young Master Hou was provoked, who would have thought that person was Qin Han. Zhang Yuanwai did not make a noise, and after he came back, he told the good king and tiger to act immediately, and he could get the result today. When he reports to Young Master Hou that he has cleaned up Qin Han, he will definitely be able to get Young Master Hou's attention, and his status will rise.
Zhang Yuanwai deliberately took out a collection of good tea today, and waited for news from Wang Laohu.
Zhang Yuanwai picked up the tea cup, gently skimmed the tea foam with the lid of the cup, and gently blew it with his mouth, and the turquoise tea leaves swirled in the yellow tea, which was very beautiful.
"Master, master, something is wrong! Something is wrong! ”
Before the tea was eaten, Zhang Yuanwai was startled by the panicked sound outside the door from far and near. With a flick of his wrist, the warm tea was sprinkled, and the celadon tea cup that he had been playing with for a long time also fell down and shattered to the ground.
Li Gui pushed open the door, but he didn't notice the threshold, and fell out of his head, slipping on the side of Zhang Yuanwai.
Seeing the person coming clearly, Zhang Yuanwai kicked over. "Dog-like things, what's the panic, I'm not dead yet, sir."
After eating Zhang Yuanwai's kick, Li Gui hurriedly straightened up, knelt in front of Zhang Yuanwai, and said tremblingly without caring about his hand that was cut by the fragments of the tea cup.
"Master, Wang Laohu was knocked unconscious."
"What?" Zhang Yuanwai, who was already in a bad mood, slapped the table and stood up suddenly.
Because the blood in his body instantly rushed to his brain, Zhang Yuanwai felt that his eyes were full of crystals, and his body was about to fall when he shook. Seeing this, Li Gui hurriedly got up and held him up.
Zhang Yuanwai sat on the chair and rubbed his forehead, but Li Gui handed over the tea. The warm tea is under the stomach, and I feel better.
After relieving himself, Zhang Yuanwai waved his hand at Li Gui. "Tell me what happened today."
Li Gui sorted out his thoughts, and then told what he had seen in the morning, of course, omitting the part where he was asleep, and prevaricating with the excuse that many people couldn't see it.
After hearing this, Zhang Yuanwai felt angry again, and slapped the table, but he didn't dizzy again. "Humph, idiot! There were only four people in total who wanted to smash the field, how could they not be killed. ”
"Master, what should we do, do you want to hire a few people and make trouble again." Li Gui scratched his head and whispered his attention.
Zhang Yuanwai shook his head and said, "This is not necessary, he Wang Laohu can be regarded as a tyrant in the west of the city, and he will definitely not give up like this, and when he wakes up, he will definitely find a way to retaliate." ”
"Still, you keep watching." Although Zhang Yuanwai said that it was okay, he was not very relieved in his heart, this Wang Laohu now seems to be not necessarily reliable, it seems that he has to make some plans to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
"The villain is gone." Li Gui took advantage of the opportunity, so he thought about leaving quickly, he had just been kicked, and now he was still in a faint pain.
Zhang Yuanwai waved his hand. "Let's go down. By the way, when you enter the house in the future, you will knock on the door first, and in a panic, I will have someone break your dog's leg and throw it to the bedbugs in the east of the city, and ask you to help them ask for food. ”
Thinking of the people of those bedbugs in the east of the city, Li Gui's cold sweat flowed down, and he didn't care about the pain in his body, so he hurriedly responded. "Yes, it's the master, the little one knows his mistakes, and the small one must have a long memory."
After speaking, Li Gui retreated lightly.
Zhang Yuanwai looked at the casualness on the ground, and felt a pain in his heart.
"It's a pity."
……
The beggars lived in the Chenghuang Temple on the outskirts of the city, not far from the whole city, so it was more convenient to beg in the city.
"Right here." Gong Zisong pointed forward.
I don't know if the city god did not fulfill people's prayers, and the city god temple that lost the incense has long been dilapidated. Walking in, you will see a broken statue, and the incense case is long gone.
The beams and pillars of the house have long been covered with cobwebs, and the original red column paint is also black and dark.
In the front hall lay a few people who were constantly wailing, their clothes in tatters, and their bodies covered with black ash.
"The younger ones went out to beg. The rest are old and weak, too old, and with some diseases, they can no longer afford to beg. Gong Zisong pointed to these people and said.
"Who are you?" A little beggar walked out from behind the statue of the city god, looking at Qin Han and the others vigilantly.
The little beggar's clothes were also tattered, but they were much better than those on the ground, at least they could cover their bodies completely, and they were cleaner.
"Let's come to find Brother Qi, I used to beg when I received Brother Qi's kindness, come and have a look today." After Gong Zisong finished speaking, he took out a few copper plates and handed them over.
When the little beggar heard Gong Zisong's words, he looked at the copper coin handed over by Gong Zisong, hesitated for a while, and finally turned out to be a copper coin and beckoned to the two. "Come with me."
The two of them followed the little beggar inside.
"Brother Qi fought with Zhang Shun in the east of the city a few days ago in order to save us." The little beggar said to Qin Han as he walked.
The beggars in the east of the city are not a poor and vulnerable group, and many people's children and wives are indispensable to them.
These children fall into their hands, and nothing good ends. The female baby is sold to a brothel, and the good-looking male baby is also bought by a lot of rich and noble families or those who are good in Longyang, and they can be a little scholar when they are sold to rich and noble families, and they are sold to people who are good in Longyang, but there is no good end.
When the little beggar came to the back room, there was no light in the room, and it was dim and dark. Through the dim light, I could faintly see a man lying on a dilapidated bed, surrounded by several equally small children, both men and women.
"Seventh Brother is here." The little beggar pointed to the person on the bed and said to Qin Han.
"Brother Hong."
