Section 4: Officials, bandits, and the people suffer

The so-called people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and the legal system in ancient times was not as strict as it is today, but I completely ignored the dangers of ancient society, when I was still as easy as life in Shanghai!

I originally planned to earn some more travel expenses in Fangling, so that I could directly buy horses and drive to Yongzhou and go to the imperial capital to have a good time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But the next day, when I came to the gate of the market again to solicit business, and a few orders had just been made, when a group of county officials heard the news, they came to tie me up, and then took me to the county government office in Fangling for interrogation!

The county magistrate was a chubby old fellow, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked me who I was, and how many people I had in my family! I thought I could only make it up casually, pretending that I was from Yongzhou and that my family lived in the east of the city.

I knew that the county magistrate was not interested in this, and he ordered him to be punished without saying a word, and I was so shocked that I cried out for mercy!

It's not that I'm afraid of death, it's just that my small body is not as good as before, how can I withstand their violent beatings, and I won't be killed in court on the spot.

Seeing this, the county magistrate's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, implying that I was using money to buy my sin.

But I didn't understand a little, so I asked: "Dare to ask the county magistrate, what crime the villain has committed, I hope the adult can tell me!"

"Presumptuous!", the county magistrate was furious, slapped a startling wood very loudly, and scolded me loudly: "In the realm of my house, if I say that you are guilty, you are guilty! If you don't hand over all your money quickly, otherwise you will definitely die!"

How can there be such an unreasonable person in the world, but I have no choice, this is in his territory! In ancient times, these officials killed a person like stepping on an ant, and they did not need to bear any responsibility at all. I can't just die here, and although I can't bear the hard-earned money, I still took out the gold coins from my body and handed them all over to the county magistrate to honor him.

When I lived in the restaurant last night, I deliberately asked the boss to exchange all the copper coins with him for gold coins, I think this is much more convenient on my body! I didn't think that I was busy for a long time, and I was so busy that I was busy all the time, and I gave it to this chubby old guy cheaply!

After getting all the coins from me, he didn't even return a copper plate to me, and just let the officials blast me out.

The old immortal also replied to me and said: "Go ahead, anyway, if you have the ability, you can still make more money! These are the travel expenses for you to make a living in our Fangling, and if someone asks you for trouble in the future, they will come to the government and we will stand up for you!"

...... Is this a protection fee? Nima, black/society/society, you?

I was so depressed that I left the gate of the county government office, and had to go back to the gate of the market and continue to make a living! I don't want to make any money anymore, I'm afraid that I won't even have dinner!

Fortunately, the citizens of the city were very enthusiastic, and they comforted me and said, "This is the way it is here, the county lord is like this to everyone, and everyone who makes money and business will have to charge a protection fee." Since everyone is like this, then I have nothing to say, I can only swallow my anger and accept the reality and continue to set up stalls to make a living!

In this kind of society in this era, I must not be angry and quarrel with them, and with my current age and strength, it is not suitable to oppose anyone, otherwise my little broken child will easily become a dead soul!

I can't change this society, so I can only learn to adapt! In order to live, I have to desperately look at the people in the city, and I will be like this for the next few days, hoping to make enough money as soon as possible, so that I can rush to Yongzhou to break through!

In the past few days, when I was making a living, I found that there was a little girl who was slightly older than me who was always hiding in the distance and watching me silently, and it can be seen from her tattered clothes that she was born very cold, and she should be very envious of me for making so much money.

One evening, I went straight to her after closing the stall, but she turned around and ran away when she saw me coming.

I followed her all the way to the dark alleys in the north of the city, and a foul smell immediately hit my nose, and I immediately covered my nose.

I stopped and looked around carefully, and then I realized that this was the slum of Fangling City, surrounded by dilapidated houses, and full of hungry poor people.

Seeing that I did not continue to chase after me, the girl poked her head out of the door again and secretly hid in the door and watched me.

I opened my mouth and asked her, "Miss, are you hungry?" Why don't I take you to buy something delicious?"

The girl frowned at me, then looked up at the door.

After a while, a middle-aged man came out of the door, his face was haggard with hunger, he staggered over, saluted me, and said, "Little boy, you are really a good man! My little girl has not eaten for a few days, thank you very much!"

After saying that, he turned to the little girl and said, "Go son, he is a good man, go with him to eat something!"

The little girl seemed a little frightened, and still did not dare to come out of the door! I had to say to her father, "Uncle, you should go with you, and if there are any other people in the house?"

The man burst into tears when he heard this, nodded his head again and again, and in a few moments summoned three or four children from behind the door, and then a frail woman.

I don't think they should have given birth to so many children of the same age with their physique and age, could it be that they adopted these orphans? An inexplicable feeling immediately filled my whole body, and I realized that their poor couple was so great, that there was no need to ask more questions, it must be like this!

I took them to a nearby inn, and because there were so many people, I had to find a cheap place to invite them to eat, otherwise my money would soon be spent.

A few people sat around a long table, devouring the food, and in a short time all the food on the table was swept away, which showed how hungry they must be! I didn't call for food for them anymore, because it would be counterproductive, and it would cause great damage to their stomachs, and in the end they would vomit all the food on the table, and it would be wasted!

Seeing that they were dressed in tatters, I couldn't bear it, so I continued to take them to a clothing store overnight, picked out some fabrics for them, and then helped them carry the fabrics and send them home.

When I passed by a rice shop, I bought a few bags of rice for them and asked the uncle and aunt to carry the rice home.

The man looked more energetic after eating, and he said with a smile: "Oh, you are really a good person! I don't know which little boy you are, in the future, I will burn incense and pray for your mansion, and beg God to bless you with all the best!"

I sighed and said, "Actually, like you, I am a lonely person in this world!"

The man looked at me, shook his head with a smile and said, "Little boy, you are really good at joking! Look at your dress, and this jade pendant on your waist, at first glance, you are from a famous family, how can you be a lonely person!"

I seem to have a ghost jade pendant hanging on my body, and I have seen this jade pendant many times, but I can't see anything famous at all, I only know that there is a Jue character engraved on the jade pendant. Maybe that's my name, but I don't know what my last name is.

I had nothing to hide from them, so I said frankly: "To be honest, I suddenly woke up one day and found myself dripping at the bottom of a mountain cliff! I didn't know who I was before and what my identity was, I only knew that it was the dress I was wearing at that time!"

The uncle nodded, sighed, and said, "Maybe you fell off your head and lost your memory for a while! It seems that you are also a hard-working child, and you know how to make a living at a young age, you are really amazing!"

From the beginning to the end, the little girl didn't speak, and then she suddenly said: "Little boy, can I help you go to the stall tomorrow to see the face, thank you for your charity to us!"

Suddenly, several children shouted happily together: "I'll go, I'll go too!" The room suddenly became lively, and when I saw their cheerful appearance, I also smiled, and I had to agree to them in order not to spoil their fun!

The next morning, a few children helped me make a simple gossip map out of cloth, which is the official banner of the physiognomy master, and the gossip picture is quite perfect!

The children brought me stools from home and accompanied me to the market again to set up a stall and look at the pictures!

After a few days, the business was still so prosperous, and more and more rich bosses came to see me, and my income began to accumulate exponentially, and soon it was enough to buy a carriage!

I was going to leave for Yongzhou after another day, but in the afternoon I met the boy who came to see me on the first day.

When he saw me, he laughed happily and insisted on taking me to his house to visit, saying that he wanted to thank me well.

From his happy expression, I knew that he had been very successful in talking about business this time, and it was estimated that he had made a big deal, otherwise he would not be so excited.

These are just ordinary people, I don't care much about this, I only know that his name is Wang Xianyuan, and his family has been engaged in business for several generations, and his family is very rich!

I took a few of my children to his house for a feast, and then received a huge reward of 100 gold from him, and then took one of his guards with me, and finally took my leave of his house.

I really don't understand the ancients sometimes, although these guards are subordinates, but after all, they are also people, how can they be sent around?

Because he gave me too many gold coins, and fearing that I would be slaughtered by the unjust, he specially arranged for me to have this guard for me, so that he could protect me and follow me for the rest of my life!

Since then, I have had an additional personal guard beside me, his name is Zhang Tiedan, who is over 28 years old and the same age as me! Wang Xianyuan has always praised him for his great courage and that he is not afraid of death at any time.

I don't mind taking him with me all the time, but in case I encounter difficulties in my life in the future, I'm afraid that I will let him suffer with me!

After these poor people's children were put on the stall, I began to continue to help other poor people one after another, and with Zhang Tie Courage by my side, I postponed my plan to go to Yongzhou again and again!

I stayed in Fangling for a month, and soon I became a well-known prodigy in Fangling! Many people came to visit, and then I came into contact with more and more people, including many rich people from the mediocre country, and of course I also became the next target of the lawbreakers.
