Chapter 32: The Pauper

The surrounding onlookers were stunned, which chamber of commerce is this, so arrogant and arrogant, a bag of gold was given out so casually, and later I inquired and learned that this chamber of commerce called "Xiangyun" is a new chamber of commerce with a background in the imperial court, this little accident suddenly made the unheard of "Xiangyun" Chamber of Commerce famous in Canglan City, for Ye Lingyun, he did have the purpose of earning fame by this.

After that, Ye Lingyun sent Qingsi to follow and deal with the strong man who took his gold bag, the gold in the gold bag was just a gold-plated stone, and the strong man would definitely find out after a long time, if this matter was spread, the reputation of the "Xiangyun" Chamber of Commerce might be damaged.

But now the problem that Ye Lingyun has been thinking about is this child who was saved by him, and they can't take this child with them all the time.

"What's your name?"

“……”

"Where do you live?"

“……”

"Why are you going to be a thief?"

“……”

The little boy didn't answer a single question.

"What a strange child."

In the carriage, Hongjiao thought that it was better to bring the child back first, after all, she saved the child, so she couldn't leave him again, and it would be her sin to steal and rob the child again.

"Huh...... Let me go. The little boy suddenly thought of something, and began to struggle.

"Hey, hey, you little devil, but we saved you." The red makeup pressed the little boy and didn't let him go.

"Ahh

"Ahh

Unexpectedly, the little boy turned his head directly and bit the red makeup, this bite on the side of the palm, the red makeup screamed in pain, and withdrew his hand.

After all, Hongjiao herself is just an ordinary girl, if it is Qingsi or Youxiang, then this child will not be able to escape.

The little boy jumped out of the carriage and went into the dark alley next to it.

"Little brat, you dare to bite me! Why don't you stop him? Red makeup said to the three girls beside her.

"Oops, the kid ran away, I didn't notice." Yuka said innocently.

"I said you don't really plan to bring this kid back, it's good to meet Pingshui and save him once." Qingsi said.

"But he ......"

"We have more important things to do, don't waste time on these little things." Qingsi said.

"No way!" Red Makeup said.

"I've got to find this little boy." Red makeup looks like he wants to jump out of the carriage.

The red makeup is very resolute.

"I said, what kind of wind are you smoking? Why is a street child so concerned? Qingsi Zou said with a frown.

Qingsi's words touched the red makeup a lot.

“…… I used to be a homeless kid too. Red Makeup whispered.

For Hongjiao, this child is like the epitome of herself, stealing on the street, being chased by adults, and not even living like a person, if it weren't for the owner of Xiangyun who took her in on the street and taught her knowledge and skills, she still doesn't know what it looks like.

So she wanted to help the little boy, at least not to let him go astray any longer.

"If you're going to find him, we're not going with you." Qingsi continued, for the people of "Xiangyun", the task should be above all else.

“…… Well. Red Makeup replied and jumped out of the carriage.

"After everything is done, remember to find us at Canglan Restaurant." The sound of the fragrance came from inside the carriage.

"Hmm." Red Makeup answered in a low voice, perhaps only she could hear it.

The carriage drove away, and Red Makeup ran towards the alley on the side.

……

The ruin area is located on the edge of the northern city wall of Canglan City, where the poorest people of Canglan City live, the ruin area was once the birthplace of a rebel force in Canglan City, and later became a ruin because of the imperial court suppression and the destruction of its camp, and the people who lived there also moved away, and the rich people of Canglan City were not willing to spend money to repair it, no one wanted it and no one cared about it, so this place became the favorite of wanderers.

"Here it is again...... "The king could not help but sigh.

The king's carriage passed through the ruined area, and he remembered that there was once a restaurant where everyone liked to have fun, but now it was like this.

"Wang, there seems to be a bunch of children making trouble in front of you." Quitton said.

"Leave them alone." The king didn't want to waste his time here.

"They're blocking the way." Quitton said.

"Then we'll stop here and wait, and when they're done, we'll get out of the way." Wang said.

“…… Be. ”

A bunch of children gathered on the avenue ahead, with a little girl in between.

"If the thief doesn't learn well, the whole family will be finished, and if the thief doesn't learn well, the whole family will be finished." The children were singing around the little girl, and the lyrics were quite ugly.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The little girl who was surrounded in the middle was crying all the time.

"I really didn't steal, I really didn't." The little girl cried.

"Nonsense, your father is a thief, your brother is a thief, how can you not be a thief!" An older boy in rich clothes pointed to the little girl.

"That's it, how can you not be a thief!"

The other children were echoing the older boy, and it seemed that this boy should be the son of a wealthy family in Canglan City.

"I really don't have ...... Whining...... The elder brother ...... "The little girl is very sad.

"Get out of here, y'all of you!" A teenager suddenly burst out of the alley on the side, and the teenager kicked the group of children without saying a word.

"Ahh

He kicked down a couple of kids.

"Ah, it's her thief brother!"

"Hit him, he's a thief!"

The other children immediately surrounded the little boy, and then a punch and kick ensued.

The king in the carriage saw everything, except for the richly dressed boy, the other children were all gray and simple.

"Quitton, are there a lot of street children in Canglan City now?" Wang asked.

"Many, most of their parents were killed by the imperial court because they participated in the rebellion." Quitton thought for a moment and said.

"Rebellion...... Did you mean that you followed me back then? The king asked suddenly.

“…… Not exactly. Quitton paused.

There have been many rebellions in Canglan City, but the rebellion that followed the king was the largest rebellion in the history of the northern kingdom, not only Canglan City, but also people from other towns and even other countries came to follow the king, although most of those people were ordinary people, but how could the king at that time care about the strength of his subordinates.

"That's right." The king looked out the window, he had never thought about his men.

When the king still possessed that infinite divine power, most of the people in Canglan City and outside the city worshipped him like believers, and although the king had the power of a god at that time, he still had the mind of a teenager.

The former king was like a child guarding his beloved toys, he didn't pollute other towns in the north, he just guarded his Canglan City, and those believers followed him blindly.

Until the king's departure, Canglan City began to collapse.
