Chapter 164: Xie Liu
Xiao Tang leisurely wandered around the street market near the Qin Pavilion, and when he was about to go out, he saw the gatekeeper of the day, and specially asked him about the nearest street market, and the person told him on Xiao Tang's flattering smile and copper plate face.
"Huh, I didn't earn a penny, I have to pay upside down", the little boy touched the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and said, fortunately, Brother Xu Chi and Xiaoshi gave him some money in case of emergency, he is going to collect intelligence, and he has to pay next month, so he always feels that there is a big stone pressing on him.
Speaking of collecting intelligence, the little boy looked left and right, bought a lot of gadgets, held a sweet biscuit, bought all kinds of snacks, and the foodie attribute was exposed. He wanted to go to the teahouse for a walk, and in his previous life, he often described the teahouse on TV as a place to get all kinds of news, so the little boy swaggered in, and Xiao Er didn't want him to go in, because Xiao Tang's image at this time was not like a person who had spare money to drink tea.
Dressed in earthy yellow clothes, with a small black face, a small body, holding a small bag of sugar-fried chestnuts in his arms, and holding a mask in his hand, like a little broken child of someone's family, "Go, go and play, child", the shopkeeper began to catch up with Xiao Tang.
"I'm not a child anymore, I brought money", Xiao Tang angrily took out his purse, shook it, and found that the silver copper plate was a lot less, and it was estimated that he didn't have much left, but he also walked in with confidence, this teahouse is very well decorated, unlike the small broken houses on the street, tall, high-grade, and singing.
"Yo, it's the same as on TV, it's a young lady and an old grandfather and grandson who sing and make money", Xiao Tang sat on the small chair excitedly while listening to the young lady singing, he ordered the cheapest tea, there was no way that the shopkeeper kept staring at him, and he was not allowed to enter without ordering anything, "Profiteers, discriminating against young customers", Xiao Tang thought, "Bad reviews!" ”。
He didn't understand what the young lady sang, but that's it, it shouldn't be bad, look at those sanctimonious stinky men, they all stare at the young lady, how can they still have the heart to listen to the music seriously, the young lady looks okay, the skin is not white enough, but it's not very rough, the height is good, much taller than Xiao Tang, 16-17 years old, willow eyebrows, cherry mouth, eyes are not big or small, delicate and lovely, and the voice is very thin (singing).
After a while, sure enough, just like the routine in TV, the young lady was molested, the old man was pushed away, everyone was coaxing, the bully was arrogant, and the bully was also obscene, not ugly but not temperamental, the young man who was not very old, there were also dog legs around him, the legendary hero, why didn't he save the beauty, the little boy looked around and didn't see anyone wanting to help the grandfather and grandson.
"Why are they so indifferent, they are still coaxing," the young man muttered.
Don Jr.'s muttering was heard by the boy walking near him, the boy was handsome, about 17 years old, and he was interested in observing the little boy in the yellow clothes, and Don Jr. didn't know it at all. The boy didn't watch the farce in the stand.
"Second Young Master, what are you looking at?" , his subordinate asked.
"It's nothing, I found a little black dog, it's interesting", the young man who was called the second young master smiled evilly.
The young lady was still taken away by the bully, Xiao Tang stood up, sat down, and stood up again, but he didn't dare to step forward, he couldn't cause trouble, that villain brought a lot of people, he was afraid that he couldn't beat them, and others didn't save him into it, Xiao Tang is so realistic, no way, righteousness and courage are not something ordinary people can do, he has no ability, he still has to raise his younger brother (Ruan Luo said that he has always been raising his eldest brother).
"Why didn't anyone report to the official", Xiao Tang whispered.
"Little ghost, who cares about that nossy thing, that person is the famous bastard Xie Liu, there is some power in the family, and the official can't control him, he has arrested a lot of girls, and he can let ...... after a few days of play", someone said to the little boy.
"Besides, women are not worth much, and being Xie Liu's concubine is better than selling songs here, otherwise it will annoy him and sell that girl as a slave."
"Ah, how can you casually sell people into slavery," the young man wondered.
"If you don't have a household registration, anyone can sell her, of course, you can reapply for it, but it is also time-consuming, laborious and costly," someone said, shaking his head after speaking.
"Ah——, the young lady's household registration?" , Don Jr. asked.
"Just snatched away by Xie Liu"
"The old man is also crying incessantly", Xiao Tang thought to himself.
"This villain, look at me", so the "hero" Xiao Tang followed out awe-inspiringly, pretending to accidentally bump into that Xie Liu.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Childe", Xiao Tang said with an aggrieved wink.
Xie Liugang wanted to scold this kid who didn't have long eyes, but when he saw his peach blossom eyes, only this pair of eyes were more attractive than the crying girl next to him, and the singing girl was instantly compared, and then looked at this child, and found that it was a black and small ghost, and immediately gave up.
"Get out, see you again, I can't spare you!" , Xie Liu said viciously.
"Okay, Childe", Xiao Tang ran faster than a rabbit, and disappeared from their eyes after a while.
"Unlucky", Xie Liu slapped the singing girl, "Shut up, cry again, sell you into the slave house".
The girl stopped crying in fear and walked away.
Xiao Tang hid by the wall and took out the money bag that had just been taken from Xie Liu's body and the household registration documents of the young lady from his chest.
"Ah, this is the household registration, then they don't have me and Xiaoshi, will they be sold? He has to be careful in the future", Xiao Tang thought to himself, and then he rummaged through the money bag, "Hmph, he should rob the rich and help the poor (himself), fortunately, he has a lot of money in his money bag, haha, I'm so good", the little boy snickered in the corner like a little fox who had just stolen a chicken. The big eyes are shiny, and the little dimples are coming out.
These are all seen by the "Second Young Master", he has been paying attention to this little boy, and he has seen everything from the window of the teahouse on the second floor, from him hitting Xie Liu to stealing his things, and then to snickering in the corner.
"Second Young Master" laughed in a low voice, "It's a funny little ghost, a little black dog," he said to himself.
Ruan Tang secretly returned the household registration documents of the young lady to the old man, gave him some silver, and left the teahouse .......
When Xu Chi went back to cook food for Xiao Tang at noon, he found that the little boy had left a note and jumped out of the window to play.
Green tendons appeared on Xu Chi's forehead, "This kid has nothing to do, and he is not afraid of danger", and decided to educate Xiao Tang well when he came back.
The little boy here has had enough, and he also returned to the Qin Pavilion, he didn't know that he would be educated by Brother Xu Chi after he went back, and he also got into trouble with Xie Liu's .......
When Xie Liu returned home, he found that the woman's household registration and his wallet had been stolen, and he was immediately furious, thinking that it must have been done by the skinny little black-faced young man, and when he met a thief, he hurriedly sent someone to find the old man (the grandfather of the singing girl) and the little boy.
The old man had already hidden, so Xie Liu was angry with the girl, and he was no longer interested in her, and wanted to sell her to the slave house, but there was no household registration for her, Xie Liu was unhappy, so he went to the government to put pressure on them to catch the black-faced thief (Xiao Tang).
Xu Zixiang, the arrester of the Liangzhou government, was arranged to arrest the thief requested by Xie Liu, "I don't even know a name, there are many thieves in Xicheng District, I only know that I look black, thin and small", Xu Zixiang is disgusted with those gentlemen, he robs the people's girls at every turn, recruits cats and teases dogs, and does not do good things, this time he deserves to be stolen by the thief, and he has the face to report to the official, "shameless", Xu Zixiang said.
"Brother Xu, Xie Liu's family background is good, Lord Li has no choice but to investigate this matter according to his requirements, losing money is a small matter, then Xie Liu feels that it is a shame, only he bullies others, how can anyone steal him, haha, this little thief is brave enough to be fat", Xiao Liu said.
"Listening to Master Li's relays of Xie Liu's words, that little thief has a pair of big peach blossom eyes, and it's quite cute, it can't be Xie Liu-", the other catcher laughed.
"Go, I'll arrest him, in short, it's really wrong to steal things", although Xu Zixiang is also from a family, he has a sense of justice, so he chose to catch fast and start from a young age, but his colleagues don't know his family background, only his boss Li understands, so he threw this hot potato to him.
Xiao Tang returned to the Qin Pavilion in the afternoon, missed Xu Chi waiting for him, he didn't eat lunch and was not hungry, he was full of those small snacks and desserts, the same Xiao Tang jumped out of the window and entered the room, lying on the bed to rest, and leisurely.
At dinner, the little boy was taught a lesson by Xu Chi, who came back, "It's dangerous outside, Xiao Tang, you have to be careful!" Xu Chi said bitterly.
"But, Brother Xu Chi, I'm going to find out the news, don't we have to collect intelligence", the little boy said with a heartfelt voice.
"That's the case, but Xiao Tang, you first familiarize yourself with the Xia Qin Pavilion, and protect yourself when you go out", Xu Chi softened his tone and said, there was no reason to blame him for what the little boy said.
"Well, I'll be more careful, Brother Xu Chi, I did a good deed today...... the little boy nodded again and again, and at the same time told his "heroic deeds".
"Xiao Tang, when you ——, take other people's things, you have to see if this person is easy to mess with, don't be reckless, and don't be tough, you do a good job of this...... Xu Chi said.
"Let's go to dinner," he said, seeing that the boy was a little tired.
"Okay—"
After dinner, the little boy remembered the matter of household registration, "Brother Xu Chi, what if we don't have a household registration, will we be taken away as slaves", Xiao Tang asked.
"This, Liu Jin and Xiaomei and I had a household registration when we were young, but since ......, we have no household registration since I left the village, this is indeed a problem, when I have time to return to Tianluo, ask the teacher", Xu Chi pondered.
"Uh-huh", Don nodded his head, "I don't want to be a slave".
"Yes, with freedom, who would want to be a slave," Xu Chi whispered.
