Chapter 2: The Cunning Beggar

The two were arguing, and on the street in front of them, suddenly there was a burst of chickens and dogs.

A ragged beggar, with unusual dexterity, occasionally burrows into the stalls lining the streets, or runs onto the wooden tables on which the stalls are set up. Behind him, a fat strong man panted and chased after him, and the people on the street who hit him turned on his back.

"Catch this thief......" shouted the strong man as he chased.

The strong man is tall and the beggar is dexterous, but he is not as fast as the strong man, and he only avoids the strong man by moving and dodging in the crowd.

But when they fled to Song Nian's convoy, the flow of people on the street was empty-the posture of the Black Armor Army, no one should approach, and the pedestrians around them obediently avoided it.

Seeing that he was about to be caught by a strong man, the beggar's eyes turned and his body was short, and he actually drilled directly under the carriage.

"Come out!" Zhang Heiniu suddenly fell sideways on horseback and fished out the beggar from under the wheel, and then his face suddenly changed, and he threw the beggar out with a shake of his hand, and he was used to the ground.

I saw that on his wrist, a deep blood groove was cut.

It turned out that the beggar was caught by Zhang Heiniu, and directly took out a hidden sharp knife and cut Zhang Heiniu's wrist.

"Catch him!"

With Zhang Heiniu shouting, the two black-armored sergeants behind him stepped forward in unison, and the two steel knives were held towards the beggar's neck.

The beggar turned around, suddenly rose into the air, and rushed straight to Song Nian and Chu He on the other side.

"Not good!" Zhang Heiniu was suddenly shocked, took out the steel knife and was about to project it over, but he was afraid of injuring Song Nian by mistake, because of a moment.

Song Nian was startled, the beggar had already turned behind her, and put the sharp knife on Song Nian's neck: "Let me go......"

His voice stopped abruptly, and then, like a kitten, he was grabbed by the back of the neck and lifted high, unable to move.

Song Nian glanced at Chu He fearfully, fortunately, there was a master by his side.

Chu He threw the beggar to the ground, this time, I don't know what technique he used, the beggar struggled a few times, his body was soft, and he couldn't get up.

Several black-armored sergeants hurriedly stepped forward and pressed the beggar to the ground.

"Thank you, two adults, thank you." The strong man came panting and thanked him for his kindness.

Song Nian ignored him, picked up the sharp knife that the beggar had dropped on the ground and looked at it, glanced at the rust on it, and frowned deeply.

"Come here!" Song Nian said to Zhang Heiniu with a cold face.

Zhang Heiniu hurriedly jumped off his horse and ran over: "Lord Song, my subordinates are willing to be punished." ”

Fang Cai, it was indeed his improper handling and unfavorable protection that made Song Nian fall into danger.

"Who told you this, hand, outstretched!" Song Nian checked Zhang Heiniu's wrist, and the wound was very deep.

She borrowed a basin of water from the shop next door and cleaned Zhang Heiniu's wounds repeatedly.

This kind of rust and deep wounds are the most likely to cause tetanus infection, which is basically a violent death, and the only way is to rinse the wound repeatedly with water.

After bandaging Zhang Heiniu, Chu He said unhappily: "You are the master of grain and grass in this seat, why do you show the soldiers injuries again?" ”

Song Nian snorted: "I'm willing." ”

Chu He suddenly didn't know what to say next.

It stands to reason that how dare an ordinary subordinate talk to him like this?

But in the face of Song Nian, he really couldn't do anything for a while, and right now, he really couldn't find someone who could replace Song Nian.

After dealing with Zhang Heiniu's wound, Song Nian said to him coldly: "Before the scab falls off, don't see water in the wound." ”

"Yes, thank you." Zhang Heiniu smiled, turned around, and stepped on the little beggar's back.

This little beggar was ruthless, and almost made him a sinner in the Black Armor Army.

The little beggar was also stubborn, and was trampled on by Zhang Heiniu like this, but he still gritted his teeth and did not say a word, nor did he beg for mercy.

Song Nian glanced at the little beggar and the strong man indifferently, and asked, "You two, why are you chasing in this downtown area?" “

The strong man panted and said, "The little one...... The little one is the butcher who sells pork, and he just sold half a penny today, and he was about to go home, but he was stolen by this thief, so he had to chase after him. ”

But the little beggar cried out on the ground, "I didn't steal, I didn't steal!" It was he who wanted to rob me of my money. ”

"I ...... My half-hung money is still ...... It's still on him. The strong man panted.

"Search!"

With Chu He's order, several black-armored soldiers wiped the little beggar's body all over, but nothing was found.

"Look! I'll just say I didn't steal! "The little beggar was cunning and proud.

"This ...... My lord...... He must have hidden the money halfway! He must have an accomplice to answer! The strong man suddenly became anxious.

Song Nian smiled, half-squatted, and looked at the little beggar: "Are you very proud." ”

The little beggar laughed a few times.

Song Nian smiled, stood up, and asked the strong man: "What do you look like when you hang money?" What's the difference? ”

The strong man suddenly scratched his head: "It's just half a penny, what difference can it be...... If anything, it's that I wear it with my own hands today. ”

Song Nian took out a bunch of money from his arms and asked with a smile, "Is it this string?" ”

The strong man was suddenly surprised: "My lord, how can you be here." ”

Song Nian smiled and looked at the little beggar: "You are smart, pretending to coerce me, but in fact, this stolen goods were easily stuffed into my arms, do I really not know?" ”

The little beggar was stolen, but he still looked calm: "That's my money." ”

"Oh? How do you prove that the money is yours? Far from it, it was taken out of my arms. Song Nian asked with a smile.

The little beggar struggled twice, and was pressed to death by the black-armored sergeant, so he could only say: "I made a mark on the copper coin, and on the fifth copper coin, I engraved two marks." ”

Song Nian took a look, and sure enough, a rough triangle was drawn on the fifth copper coin.

"Your Excellency...... My lord...... This half of the money, it's mine, it's mine......" The strong man was sweating profusely, but he couldn't explain it clearly, his hands were sweating, but his face was oily and slippery.

Song Nian smiled and asked the little beggar: "If you make a mark, it may not be yours." This official, there is a way to check whose copper coin it is. “

After speaking, she put the copper coin into the water basin on the side, and layers of oil splashes suddenly appeared on the surface of the water basin.

"This half-hanging money, which butcher himself wore it, so the copper coin is covered with grease, and if you look at his hands, they are still full of grease, so ...... This half-hung money is his. Besides, you are a beggar, where did you get half the money? Song Nian patted the beggar's face: "In the future, don't steal other people's things." ”

After saying that, he threw the stolen goods to the strong man.

"Thank you, sir......" The strong man sobbed gratefully.

The crowd of people watching around immediately cheered.
