Chapter 36: Four Teases
Liang Run took Zhao Yao to continue to walk around the West Market. After strolling around for a while, I saw that there were many people surrounding not far in front, as if they were watching something lively.
Zhao Yao likes to watch the excitement the most, and when he saw the excitement, he immediately pulled out his legs and ran forward. He squeezed through the crowd like a loach and squeezed to the front, relying on his small size. Only then did he see that it was several teenagers who were beating a thin young man.
These teenagers were all dressed in brocade clothes, with fierce expressions and gloating smiles on the corners of their mouths. The young man they trampled on was dressed in gray linen, his face was bruised and swollen from the beatings, and he couldn't see his true face at all. He curled up on the ground, his eyes full of horror and his mouth begging for mercy.
However, the more he begged for mercy, the more the teenagers who beat him laughed. From time to time, they kicked him a few times and whipped him with horsewhips.
When Zhao Yao saw this scene, his brows furrowed. However, he didn't rush to make a definition, but asked the uncle next to him first.
"Uncle, why did they beat him?"
Seeing that Zhao Yao looked like a pink carving, the uncle couldn't help but love it, and said to him with a loving expression: "That person is a thief, and he had the audacity to steal the money of these little boys, but he didn't expect to be caught on the spot, and then he was beaten by several little boys." ”
Another uncle next to him said: "This person is a habitual thief, and it's not the first time he's stolen someone's money." He was unlucky today and stole these people," Speaking of this, the uncle suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Steal from these overlords." ”
Someone else interjected and said: "This person also ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to provoke these people, if he is not beaten half to death, these overlords will not let him go." ”
Hearing the uncles call several brocade-clothed teenagers "overlords", Zhao Yao asked curiously: "Who are they, why do you call them overlords?" ”
The first uncle to talk to Zhao Yao saw that Zhao Yao didn't know these overlords, and felt a little incredible, after all, these overlords were very famous in the capital.
"You don't even know about them?"
Zhao Yao shook his head: "I don't know, they are very famous?" "Judging by the dress and style of these people, they should be famous gentlemen in the capital.
"The whole West City knows about them." The uncle looked at the overlords and saw that they were still bullying the thief, so he cautiously said to Zhao Yao, "Their fathers are all court officials. ”
"Imperial court official, how big?"
"I heard that they are all sons of great generals."
"General, what's their last name?" There are many great generals in the court. These generals were all heroes who fought with their fathers and emperors back then.
"The surname is Song, the surname is Zhang, the surname is Shen, and there are those surnamed Chu."
Zhao Yao looked surprised: "These are all generals." ”
"Isn't it, otherwise why would they be so arrogant." The uncle continued, "Don't look at a few of them, they dare to do anything, it's common to beat people on the street, and anyone dares to beat them." ”
"Is it so arrogant, does Jing Zhaoyin care?"
"Their fathers are all generals, how dare Jing Zhaoyin care." The uncle kindly reminded Zhao Yao, "These overlords can't be provoked, if you see them in the future, you must stay away from them." ”
Zhao Yao nodded and said, "I see." He asked, "Did any of them kill anyone?" ”
"I didn't kill anyone, but I often beat people half to death, just like now." The uncle shook his head and said in horror, "It won't end well if you provoke a few of them." ”
"They won't eat and don't pay, will they?" Zhao Yao asked very quietly, "Are they still robbing the people's things, are they still robbing the people's daughters?" ”
"Not really."
"No?" Isn't that what the kids do?
"Although they often make trouble, they don't rob things or rob people's girls."
"Then how are they overlords?"
"Because they are overbearing and unreasonable, and they often beat people." The uncle said, "They also often fight cocks and dogs. ”
"I see."
"These overlords are even afraid of the cats and dogs on the street, and they are far away when they see them."
Zhao Yao said in his heart: This is the hatred of cats and dogs.
Seeing the thief peeing his pants while being beaten, several teenagers laughed. The tallest and strongest boy among them provoked the thief's chin with a horsewhip and warned him viciously: "In the future, let us catch you stealing, be careful of your dog's life." ”
The thief cried and said, "The little one doesn't dare, he doesn't dare anymore." ”
The tall and strong young man sneered with disgust on his face, straightened up and said to the others, "Let's go." ”
"Where are you going?"
"Go to the teahouse and listen to the book."
"I'm going to the teahouse again."
"Otherwise, where do you want to go, to Yihong Courtyard?"
"Are we going to Yihongyuan, are we really going?"
"Do you dare to go?"
"Don't dare."
"I don't dare."
If their father knew that they were going to Yihong Courtyard, their lives would be gone.
"If you don't want to go to the teahouse, then you still go to fight."
Seeing that a few overlords were gone, the crowd of onlookers dared to discuss. As for the thief who was beaten by a few teenagers, no one cared.
Zhao Yao asked Liang Rundao, "Second uncle, do you know those people just now?" ”
"I know, a few of them are famous in Xishi, they are from the Song family, the Zhang family, the Shen family, and the Chu family." Liang Run said, "They are the youngest sons of these families, and they should be spoiled, which is why they are so arrogant." However, they didn't kill anyone, so Jing Zhaoyin turned a blind eye to them. ”
"The eldest sons of these families are very famous, and they all serve in the army, but I didn't expect their younger sons to make trouble in the market."
"The youngest son, he will spoil some."
"It's the same youngest son, so I'm not spoiled." Zhao Yao sighed faintly, "Alas, my youngest son was also punished for copying the Analects a hundred times. ”
Liang Run was very distressed when he heard Zhao Yao say this. He rubbed Zhao Yao's head and said, "Second uncle spoils you." "My sister and Yao Yao are not favored, it should be because their Liang family is low.
"Although my father doesn't spoil me, I have a mother who spoils me, as well as an uncle and a second uncle."
"What do you want to eat, the second uncle will buy it for you?"
"I still want to eat pastries."
"Then buy some more."
The nephews and uncles went to the most popular dim sum shop in Beijing to buy pastries, but they didn't expect to meet the teenagers just now. Three of them were standing outside the dim sum shop, and one was supposed to be buying dim sum.
Seeing the three of them standing at the door of the dim sum shop, the passers-by all looked scared, hiding from them, as if they were man-eating tigers, and if they got close to them, they would be eaten.
The three of them were very satisfied with the frightened reaction of the passer-by, and put on an unprovoked expression more and more, so that the passer-by walked faster when they passed by the door.
Zhao Yao was not only not afraid of them, but also turned a blind eye to them.
When the three of them saw a beautiful little bout, they thought they would be frightened by them, but they didn't expect this little blink to be so bold that he dared to walk into the dim sum shop directly in front of them.
Liang Run was naturally not afraid of a few little ghosts who didn't have any hair, and followed Zhao Yao into the dim sum shop.
The eyes of the three of them followed Zhao Yao all the way. When Zhao Yao walked into the dim sum shop, they looked at each other.
"Who was that little bit just now, who was not afraid of us?"
"Doesn't he know who we are?"
"Were we being underestimated?"
"When he comes out, we'll scare him to death and let him know we're scary."
Zhao Yao walked into the dim sum shop and saw the guy talking to the young man in brocade cautiously.
The young man in brocade seemed to enjoy the man's frightened reaction, and he obviously had a cute chubby little face, but he pretended to be deep and fierce.
When the guy saw the young man in brocade taking out money for him, he hurriedly waved his hand and said he didn't want money.
Jinyi said angrily: "What, look down on me? ”
The guy shook his head again and again in fright, and said with a frightened expression: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”
The young man in brocade raised his chin and put on an invincible appearance: "Master, I don't miss these money." With that, he put the money on the table with all his might.
The guy hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Childe." ”
The young man in brocade left satisfied.
When he was gone, the guy let out a long sigh of relief, and his face showed an expression of the rest of his life.
"Are you alright?" Zhao Yao asked with concern.
When the guy saw a cute little doll standing in front of the counter, his heart suddenly softened, and the expression on his face instantly became gentle.
"Little boy, what kind of snacks do you want to buy?"
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern." The guy bent down and asked Zhao Yao, "Little boy, what do you want to buy?" ”
Zhao Yao said crisply: "I want to buy peach blossom crisp, walnut jujube mud cake, lotus crisp ......" These snacks are all his favorite foods. Of course, it is also what the mother loves to eat.
"Wait a minute."
The young man in brocade just walked out of the dim sum shop, and learned from his partner that there was a little little bit who was not afraid of them just now, so he was naturally very angry. and the other three stayed at the door of the dim sum shop, and when Xiao Budian came out after buying dim sum, they would give him a good look.
Zhao Yao came out after buying snacks and saw that the four young men in brocade clothes all looked fierce and vicious, and glared at him viciously.
The brocade-clothed boys put on their most terrifying expressions, thinking that they would be able to scare the little ones to cry.
