Chapter 422: Is It a Coincidence or a Calculation?

Li Lao Er has already changed his official uniform in Mr. Wen's courtyard, and at this time he is wearing a duck egg green cotton robe, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, which cannot be said to be rich and powerful, at least it is not shabby.

The beggars and ruffians on the street just wanted to find someone to bully, and they didn't dare to provoke him like this.

Therefore, he was suddenly knocked down and sat on the ground, Li Lao Er was still a little confused, his tail vertebrae were painful and numb, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

He looked up in annoyance, and was about to scold, when he crashed into a pair of panicked eyes.

The owner of the eyes was a woman of eighteen or nineteen years old, with unkempt hair, a somewhat dirty face, and a panicked expression.

She also pulled an eight or nine-year-old boy in her hand, with a yellow face and thin muscles, as if she was also stunned, and she looked like she wanted to cry or not, which was very pitiful.

"You guys?" Li Lao Er didn't know what to say, so he insisted on standing up, trying his best to endure the pain, and asked, "Who are you?" The streets are so crowded, how can you run wildly? ”

The woman struggled to her feet, looked behind her, and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, sir, we were careless!" ”

As she spoke, she picked up the boy again, but unfortunately the boy could not stand on his feet and almost fell.

Only then did Li Lao Er realize that the kid's legs were strangely drooping, unable to eat, and in the missing half of the trouser legs, the exposed calves were swollen and unsightly, which was obviously ...... Broken.

He didn't want to pursue it, but when he saw that these two people seemed to be in a hurry, he got out of the way.

"Let's go, be careful."

The woman hurriedly thanked them, but before they could take a step, four or five peasant men suddenly came out of the street not far away, each carrying hemp rope and bricks, and when they saw the woman and the boy, they ran over like a fierce spirit.

The woman was so frightened that she was about to run away with the boy on her back, but she was quickly stopped.

The man at the beginning ignored Li Lao Er, raised the green brick in his hand and smashed it at the woman.

"Cheap girl, let you run, I'll kill you!"

The boy lying on the woman's back stood up with a scream and protected the woman under him.

The green brick fell directly on his head, and the bright red blood flowed down at that time!

"Brother!" The woman didn't care about anything, tore off the unconscious boy, and cried loudly, "Brother, brother! ”

Not only did several men not stop, but rushed forward to face the woman and continued to punch and kick.

The leading man pinched the bloodstained green bricks, and was still scolding, "Kick me to death, I don't know what to lift!"

"I have arranged a good way out for you, as if I have harmed you, and I have raised you for three years in vain, such a beast might as well be killed!"

The woman hunched over, trying her best to protect her brother under her, and let her fists and feet rain down on her, but she didn't avoid it at all.

Passers-by were stunned by such a sudden change, in broad daylight, even the slaves at home did not do so casually, and beat them to death!

Some people wanted to help, but these people looked too vicious, and they were a little hesitant for a while.

Li Lao Er was also so shocked that he didn't react for a while, after all, when he fled from the famine and people ate people, it was not so bloody.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, a little wary in his heart.

Xindu is so big, but things happened suddenly in front of his eyes......

He wanted to wait and see what happened, but unfortunately, the woman was beaten so badly that she couldn't protect her brother after all, so she lay on the ground, and the kid's head and one of his arms were exposed.

A man sneered, stomped on the back of the boy's hand and pushed it on the ground.

The boy woke up in pain, and opened his blood-soaked eyes, full of despair and pain.

This is just an ignorant child, the size of a cat brother.

Brother Cat is studying in the academy, protected by his brothers, and hurt by his uncles and aunts.

And this child was so bullied and beaten so badly!

Li Lao Er closed his eyes fiercely, and when he opened them again, he had already shouted, "Stop!" ”

A few men who beat people were startled, and turned to look at Li Lao Er, Xu saw that he was not dressed badly, but he didn't dare to scold, but asked with a cold face, "Who are you, nosy!" ”

"I'm not who I am!" Li Lao Er strode forward, pushed away a few men, protected the woman and the child behind him, and scolded loudly, "I am an ordinary passerby, in broad daylight, you are so fierce and ruthless, beating women and children, is there any royal law in your eyes?" ”

The rest of the passers-by saw that someone came forward, and they also responded, "That's it, if there is anything that can't be said well, you must do it!" How young is this child, with so much blood on his head, can he still live? ”

Several big men had bad faces, and the one who took the lead shouted, "What does it have to do with you if you don't die!" I am their uncle, their father and mother are dead, Lao Tzu is their heaven, what can I do if I am killed? ”

Uncle?

Everyone frowned.

Tianwu governs the country with filial piety, not to mention ordinary people, let's just say the palace, the queen mother is not the emperor's mother, and the emperor has to give three copies.

The Queen Mother has interfered in the government for so many years, and it can be said that Tianwu is now retreating to Jiangnan, and the Queen Mother is at least half responsible, but the emperor still can't do anything with the Queen Mother.

If the parents of the two siblings died, they should really listen to their uncle, and even if they were beaten and scolded, they would not be able to resist......

The woman sat up with support, still stretching out her arms to protect her brother, and replied with a miserable smile, "You are talking nonsense, you are just my cousin!" My mom and dad are dead, my grandma is dead, but I still have my brother! You have beaten us to death to swallow up my yard and my fields.

"Today, you are going to send us to Hualou, let me be a flower girl, and let my brother be a turtle father! I sold the money to pay off your debts! You're a pig or a dog! You're the brute! ”

After that, she was so angry that a mouthful of blood sprayed to the ground, showing that Fang had just been beaten badly and hurt her lungs.

When everyone heard this, they all took pity on the sister and brother, and shouted one after another.

"It's really unreasonable, this is to make a fortune!"

"What a desperate family, there are still boys! This is clearly to kill people and rob money! ”

"It's too lacking in morality, it's not such a bully!"

When those men heard this, they felt a little weak-hearted, gritted their teeth and stepped forward, about to pull the sisters and brothers.

"Okay, Uncle Fang is wrong, and he was angry for a while. Let's go, let's go home and talk. ”

But the sister and brother actually had a tacit understanding, and they pulled Li Laoer's trouser legs together, "No, if you sell us, we will die, and we won't go back with you!"

The leading man was in a hurry, and the green brick in his hand was about to be smashed down again, but he was pushed away by Li Lao Er.

"If you dare to do it again, I will report to the official! Sue you for murder for money! Tianwu law, even if it is a slave, it is not a death contract, and it cannot be lynched casually! What's more, it's just a clansman! ”

After that, he took a dime of silver out of his purse and asked the people, "Which brother is willing to help run to the government office, and quickly call the official to come over?" ”

"Me!"

"I'll go!"

"I know the way!"

Immediately three or four men raised their hands to take over the errand.
