Chapter Twenty-Four: The Road Is Uneven

Suzaku Street, Chang'an City

Li Chen, Zhou Dacai, Qin Huaiyu, Luo Tong, Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chuliang, Yu Chi Baolin, and Yu Chi Baoqing walked on Zhuque Street.

Li Chen looked at the princes and nobles around him, thought about his identity again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: I can also be in the position of prince one day, I have to say that the world is impermanent.

A few people were walking on the street, and suddenly a figure rushed over and threw himself into Li Chen's arms.

"Childe, save me."

"Childe, save me."

Li Chen looked down at the woman who threw herself in his arms, the woman was about sixteen or seventeen, dressed in coarse green clothes, with a melon seed face, pale complexion, and a thin figure.

Li Chen frowned, although he had been here for more than ten years, Li Chen was always uncomfortable when he saw this kind of thing.

Out of the crowd came a man, the man was dressed in rags, dusty, and sloppy, the man and the woman looked somewhat similar, looking like father and daughter.

"The petty officials forgive their sins, the petty officials forgive their sins, the little girl ignorant collided with the nobles, and asked the nobles to forgive their sins." The sloppy man knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Li Chen looked at the woman, and the woman shook her head vigorously at Li Chen, and kept saying, "Childe, save me." ”

Li Chen asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Little Girl......"

"Shut up, my brother didn't ask you." Yu Chi Baoqing scolded.

The sloppy man lay on the ground and did not dare to move.

Li Chen lowered his head to the woman again and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Childe save me, my father is a heavy drinker and a good gambler, and if he loses money, he will sell me to the gambling house." The woman cried.

Li Chen frowned.

"You are really ruthless, your own daughter has to be sold to a place like a gambling house." Yu Chi Baoqing roared.

"Little official, my daughter is raised by me, and how I want to sell it is my business, and it has nothing to do with the official." The sloppy man knelt on the ground and argued with Wei Chi Baoqing.

The sloppy man made Yu Chi Baoqing angry with a few words, and took a step forward to roll up his sleeves and raise his fist to hit the sloppy man.

"Ah, in broad daylight, the people are oppressed, there is no royal law, beating people, help." Before Yu Chi Baoqing's fist fell, the sloppy man cried and shouted.

Li Chen stopped Yu Chi Baoqing and looked at the sloppy man and asked, "We bought this woman, how much do you say?" ”

The sloppy man saw that the black-faced man's fist didn't hit him, and said in his heart: It's just a group of sons who have never been out, so they have to blackmail well.

"Our daughters are all children of good families, and we are all big girls with yellow flowers, if it weren't for the difficulties in the family, we would be reluctant to sell ......"

Luo Tong, who looked at him rambling, said impatiently: "You can say how much silver you want." ”

The sloppy man thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, I have to get two ingots of silver." ”

When Luo Tong heard this, he took out two ingots of silver directly in his arms and threw them at the sloppy man.

"From now on, this woman has nothing to do with you." Luo Channel.

The sloppy man looked down at the two ingots of silver on the ground, and said in his heart: It's going to be less.

The sloppy man said again: "You hit me......"

The sloppy man didn't finish speaking, Luo Tong's temper came up and said urgently: "We beat you, right?" ”

Raise your foot and kick.

Li Chen stopped him and said, "It is a crime to oppress the people. ”

What Luo Tong wants to say, Li Chen looks down, Luo Tong understands in seconds.

Li Chen looked at the sloppy man with a smile and said, "You mean to pay for medical expenses, right?" ”

The sloppy man didn't understand what medical expenses were, but when he heard that he was going to pay for it, he nodded hurriedly.

Li Chen squatted down and smiled, took out two ingots of silver, held them in his hands, and said to the man, "Is it enough?" ”

The sloppy man nodded hurriedly: "Enough, enough." ”

Yu Chi Baoqing saw Li Chen take out the silver again and hurriedly said: "Brother, why did you give him back the silver, and asked me to say that I would just throw it aside after the fight and let him do what he should do." ”

The surrounding people also persuaded: "Little boy, this kind of person is a bad gambler, a scoundrel, if it doesn't work, report it to the official." ”

"Yes, little boy."

The coarse woman in green also pulled Li Chen and said, "Childe, don't." ”

Luo Tong pulled Yu Chi Baoqing behind him and stood up and said to Yu Chi Baoqing: "There will always be a time for you to be cool." ”

Hearing Luo Tong's words, Yu Chi Baoqing stopped talking and stood aside honestly.

Li Chen turned around and gave the woman a look, and the woman suddenly felt that Li Chen's eyes seemed to have magical power, and she involuntarily closed her mouth and stopped talking, just looked at Li Chen blankly.

Li Chen pinched the two ingots of silver in his hand, looked at the sloppy man and smiled: "Or?" ”

The sloppy man stared at the silver in front of him and said, "Yes, yes." ”

"If you want silver, okay, this silver is for medical expenses, and the silver can be hot in your hand." Li Chen said.

The sloppy man didn't seem to hear Li Chen's words, yes, he still stared at the silver: "Yes, yes"

Li Chen threw the silver to the sloppy man, and the sloppy man hurriedly picked it up, put the silver in his mouth and bit it.

When the money was in hand, the man took the money and was about to leave.

"Let you go?" Seeing the man turn around, Li Chen said again.

"I don't know what else the petty officials have to order." The sloppy man said with a smile on his face.

"If you get the medical bill, you have to go to the medicine." Li Chen looked at the sloppy man and said.

The sloppy man looked at Li Chen and said, "Yes, I'll go get the medicine." ”

Li Chen turned back to Wei Chi Baoqing and said, "This time we will give money, you can fight, first ten yuan." ”

"Huh?" Yu Chi Baoqing didn't understand.

Zhou Dacai and Luo Tong pulled him and said, "Ah what, let you fight, just fight." ”

The three of them dragged the man into the corner.

The sloppy man panicked and trembled: "You, what are you doing, you are breaking the law by beating people, and you have to give silver." ”

Luo Tong looked at the man and said, "Isn't the silver in your hand?" ”

Zhou Dacai also said: "Today we will spend money to buy a happy one." ”

Yu Chi Baoqing didn't speak, and pulled the man to the corner with a smile on his face.

After a while, a man's scream like a pig was heard in the corner.

The woman looked at Li Chen and said, "Thank you Gongzi for saving me, the little woman can't repay her, please allow the little woman to be a slave and a maid by the side of the child, and serve the child." ”

Li Chen shook his head and said, "Let's go, you are a free person now, and no one can force you to do anything." ”

Li Chen took out a bag of silver in his arms and stuffed it into the woman's hand.

"Take this silver, find a place to live a good life." Li Chen said.

The woman looked at the silver in her hand, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

Li Chen looked at it and frowned.

"Childe, the little girl is willing to stay by Childe's side for the rest of her life and serve Childe's daily life." The woman was still crying.

Cheng Chuliang pulled Li Chen and said, "You take her, she won't be able to live if you give her this silver." ”

Li Chen thought about it for a while, as if this was the case.

As long as his father is here, he will always exchange her for money like a vampire, and in the end he will not escape his fate.

Li Chen looked at Cheng Chuliang and said, "Second brother, I myself am making a living in the princess's mansion, how to arrange a place for her." ”

Cheng Chuliang pursed his lips and said, "You are a free marquis, there must be a maid by your side." ”

"Then my Houfu is still a flat land, and I am still living in the princess's mansion." Li Chen rolled his eyes and said.

Cheng Chuliang touched his head embarrassedly, the Houfu that His Majesty had just ordered to build a few days ago, and now the place and materials had just arrived, and he hadn't had time to build it yet.

"Cough, cough" Cheng Chuliang coughed twice in embarrassment.
