Hearing this, it was like a middle-aged woman squeezing out of her teeth, Ye Jingjing looked at her with interest, then looked at Huo Feng, and asked, "What do you say?" ”

The middle-aged woman immediately had the confidence and gushed endlessly, "This child wandered to our Taiping County from outside, he said that his father and mother died, and someone took pity on him and adopted him, but within a year, his adoptive parents died."

"Later, someone brought him home, this time it was good, it lasted for three years, and he died after three years, but it was also an old man with a withdrawn personality who died, and it was really Wang Ba Mung Bean who looked at the right eye, and freaks and freaks met together......"

Before the words fell, Huo Feng suddenly jumped up from the ground, his eyes were red, and he roared angrily and rushed towards the middle-aged woman, "Don't let you talk nonsense!" ”

Shen Ping didn't have time to stop him, and thanks to Qi Wushuang's quick eyes, he gently blocked it with his scabbard, and Huo Feng was bounced away.

He was already thin, but now he fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

Ye Jingjing was motherly and complained, "Why are you using so much strength? ”

Qi Wushuang was aggrieved, "I just touched it lightly." ”

"You're a big man, you're just a child."

Zhaoyu also complained, took out the pears that he had just eaten half-eaten, and walked over, coaxing Huo Feng to eat the pears.

Huo Feng was not polite, he took it and ate it, as if he was not the one who was like an angry little lion just now.

The middle-aged woman froze her mind, gritted her teeth and said, "The starving ghost is reincarnated." ”

She turned her head and said, "I haven't finished speaking, since then, this child has become more gloomy, and every day he grabs people and says when they will die, or which one of their families has died, which is really unlucky!"

"And ah, after he said it, those people really died, exactly the same time as he said, and you say that this is not a scourge. It must be somewhere where the monster has become a spirit, coming to harm people! ”

Ye Jingjing frowned, "I don't think he's a monster, on the contrary, I think this person is very powerful, he can predict death, and he is a strange person." ”

At this time, Huo Feng actually raised his head suddenly and nodded desperately towards Ye Jingjing.

Seeing him like this, Ye Jingjing was even more convinced of her guess.

It must have been the boy who was gifted with the ability to see through human death, but because he was so young and strange-looking, all the people thought he had brought about the disaster.

Shen Ping sighed and said, "How many times have I said it, he just said it, those are all coincidences, what bad things can he do as a child......

"Look, Lord Shen must have been bewitched by this goblin, so help him speak!" The middle-aged woman shouted.

Shen Ping smiled bitterly and cast a look of help.

Emperor Qianling spoke, "You said today that you were going to drown him, may I ask what wrong thing he did again?" ”

The middle-aged woman's voice immediately shook the sky, "He said that I was going to die today, and I was still stabbed by my own master!" Holy, is this human talk?! This little cub is getting more and more excessive......"

Emperor Qianling didn't bother to take care of her, just waved his hand at Shen Ping and pointed in the direction of the yamen, meaning to ask him to take the child back.

Shen Ping nodded, coaxed Huo Feng a few words, Huo Feng wiped his mouth after eating the pear in his hand, and took Shen Ping's hand.

"Whether he's a monster or not, I'll deal with it."

Emperor Qianling dropped this sentence and turned to leave, Shen Ping hurriedly followed, Ye Jingjing glanced back at the middle-aged woman, frowned, and said, "You are so self-conscious." ”

After that, she also left with Qi Wushuang and Zhaoyu.

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't dare to step forward to stop them.

The middle-aged woman gritted her teeth and glared at the backs of Ye Jingjing and the others for a long time, until she was sure that they had gone far away and couldn't hear herself, then she said angrily, "Phew! Sooner or later, you're going to be killed by that little beast!" ”

With that, she retreated from the crowd watching the excitement and walked away with her ass twisted.

On the way to the Yamen, Shen Ping explained, "Ladies and gentlemen, Huo Feng's situation is indeed similar to that of Aunt Wang, but this child has no skills, and because he talks nonsense, he is always beaten and scolded, and he has never been able to support himself......

"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm telling the truth." Huo Feng said in a muffled voice.

"Okay, well, you're telling the truth." Shen Ping coaxed. "Sometimes I will help him, but this kid also knows shame and has not been helped by me all the time, but he is either begging, stealing or stealing or stealing food on weekdays, which is really a headache."

Huo Feng lowered his head and didn't refute this time, Ye Jingjing knew that what Shen Ping said was true.

"I said let the folks bear more, it's just a child, but it's a pity that a few of you have seen it too, maybe it's because of this birthmark...... Huo Feng is always regarded as a scourge. ”

Shen Ping said, wiped Huo Feng's face, and sighed, "Look at you, the mud on your face is dry." ”

"Why didn't Lord Shen adopt him? I think you like this kid a lot, too. Zhaoyu asked.

Shen Ping smiled bitterly, "Children need the company of their parents, I am either busy with official business or business on weekdays, how can I have time?" I'm afraid that adoption is not responsible for the child. ”

"You're still in business?" Ye Jingjing asked in surprise.

Now they finally understand why Shen Ping is obviously a Qing official but not poor, it turns out that he has his own financial support.

Shen Ping nodded, "Well, the family was originally in business, and my father wanted me to get ahead, so I got famous, but I was the only child in the family, if I didn't inherit the business, I was afraid that it would be wasted, so I could only be an official while taking care of the family business."

"However, it is a coincidence that it is precisely because of business that I can gain a firm foothold in Taiping County."

"What do you mean by that?"

"There are many squires in Taiping County, they have been rooted here for a long time, and they are very powerful, and the previous county orders have been targeted by them. It just so happened that I was also in business, and I knew how to get along with them, so that I could maintain a balance in all aspects and sit firmly in the position of the county magistrate. ”

Thinking that many local landlords have the right to speak in the local area, and some can even override the government, Ye Jingjing somewhat understands Shen Ping's difficulties.

She thought of the middle-aged woman just now, who was white and fat, and her clothes were not plain, and asked, "Is that woman also a squire in her family?" ”

Shen Ping nodded, "Yes, so Aunt Wang is used to being arrogant on weekdays, and she doesn't take a few of them seriously." To be honest, this woman is really troublesome, and I'm afraid that I will have too much to do with her, and today is really helpless......"

Because it was a turning back, everyone met Zhang Er, the fruit vendor, again.

Zhang Er was immediately happy when he saw them, and left the stall and ran, "A few adults, are your things done?" ”

This is also a troublesome master. Ye Jingjing thought to herself.
