Chapter 138: Are People Things?
I only heard that the turtle thugs in the brothel were constantly screaming and scolding in place.
Moreover, they not only scolded, but also punched and kicked, and they looked arrogant and domineering, compared to the children of the gentlemen, and the sons of the gentlemen.
On the other side, these beggars are still in a circle, allowing the turtle thugs in the brothel to beat and scold them.
These beggars, although they were not lightly injured and had blue noses and swollen faces, for some reason, gritted their teeth and held back, and they couldn't move...
In this way, they use their flesh to form a human wall, blocking the outside, as if they are using their lives to protect someone in the circle.
“…………”
Between the arguments between the two sides, they did not notice the appearance of He Shen and other officials wearing official uniforms.
Seeing such a scene, He Shen frowned again, looked up at the sky, and saw that the time was not too late, so he immediately ordered the officials around him: "Let the people who take the lead on both sides come here to see me!" ”
These sixth- and seventh-grade petty officials did not dare to slack off after hearing He Shen's orders, and after greeting them, they went to take people.
And in the face of these sixth- and seventh-grade officials wearing official uniforms, whether they were the turtle thugs in the brothels or the beggars, they all decisively confessed.
You must know that the people do not fight with officials, let alone a group of officials.
At the shouting of these officials, representatives from both sides came.
The beggars were represented by an old beggar who was holding a little girl in her early teens in her left hand.
And on the side of the turtle thugs, it is a scar-faced man covered in muscles.
…………
This way!
Seeing the leaders of both sides, coming to front and behind him, He Shen didn't ask whose fault it was.
He just looked at the two sides a few times, and then said coldly: "This is the capital, the area of goodness, and the feet of the Son of Heaven, who gave you the courage to make trouble in the capital?" ”
“…………”
The leader of the brothel turtle father, as soon as he heard that He Shen was pressing him, he was just about to say something...
However, after seeing He Shen's body, the official uniform of the fifth grade, the scar-faced man was suddenly frightened, his face was pale, squeaked, and he didn't say a word for a long time......
At the same time, the old beggar suddenly pounced, knelt in front of He Shen, and cried and shouted.
"Lord Qingtian, you must be the master of us beggars!"
The old beggar cried very desolately, but He Shen was not moved in the slightest.
Most of He Shen's energy is only aimed at the leader of the brothel turtle gong, that is, the scar-faced man...
Under He Shen's cold gaze, the scar-faced man changed his previous arrogance, and the whole person stammered, and hurriedly explained.
"I hope the official lord will forgive me, but these stinky beggars are shameless, and after selling a "thing" to us, they snatched it back. ”
"This time, we are trying to snatch back that "thing", and we don't mean to offend, and I ask you to forgive me..."
“…………”
"Oh? A beggar robbed something from a brothel? ”
"Hahahaha, this is really a strange story..."
When He Shen heard this, he laughed out loud, and his words were very sarcastic.
Although not all of the beggars are good people, there should be no fools among the beggars...
A group of beggars, how dare they take the initiative to offend the characters who can open a brothel in the capital...
“…………”
Seeing that the scar-faced man looked at him left and right, the sneer on He Shen's face became more and more intense, and then he asked.
"I didn't know that these beggars had such a chance to rob your brothel..."
"Tell me, what did they rob you?"
However, after hearing He Shen's clear inquiry, the scar-faced man looked embarrassed, and he hesitated for a long time without answering.
“…………”
And the old beggar, on his part, still couldn't stop crying bitterly, talking nonsense, just crying and shouting, begging Heshen to call the shots.
For a while, none of these two people answered He Shen's question.
In He Shen's heart, he gradually became a little impatient, and when he was just about to get angry, a young girl's voice came clearly.
“……………”
"Lord Hui, what these people are talking about is Yu'er me, and I am that thing."
Shangguan Yu'er, a girl who was just ten years old, said politely and without stage fright after giving a salute.
Shangguan Yu'er has delicate facial features, under the thin willow eyebrows, there are a pair of indifferent black pupils, and the depths of her eyes are full of innocence.
Even if she is wearing shabby clothes and her body has not yet grown, Shangguan Yuer's appearance and temperament are far beyond that of ordinary adult women.
…………
This kind of appearance and temperament, as well as the Lori-like figure, in the eyes of the people in the brothel, is indeed a strange commodity to live in, and it is a valuable commodity.
“……………”
The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.
In the Qing Dynasty, there was such a group of people, they were in high positions, had power and wealth, and were superior in the eyes of everyone.
However, as these people get old and old, they gradually feel the weakness of their bodies and the passage of life, and their hearts are gradually distorted.
These people, at this time when their bodies are extremely weak, do not like mature beauties, but have a special fetish for the immature bodies of young girls.
Many, disgusting, even horrible things have happened.
This kind of thing has also been heard from time to time in the past few years.
“………”
As the soul of the Demon Ancestor, He Shen is by no means a perfect good person, but he is also not a pure evil person.
There are some things, due to the timing and his own strength, He Shen will not be a great sage and help the world.
However, this does not mean that after seeing these things with his own eyes, He Shen will ignore them as a matter of course, as if he did not see them at all.
Thinking of the little girls and young children who were only ten years old and were caught by the brothels over the years, a raging fire burned in He Shen's eyes.
“…………”
At this moment, He Shen has already made a decision in his heart.
I saw that after he pondered for a while, he suddenly stretched out his finger, pointed at Shangguan Yu'er, and asked the scar-faced man.
"You just said that this little girl is from your brothel, right?"
"For thousands of years, you were the first person to call people things, you are so bold......"
“……”
The leader of the brothel turtle is a scar-faced man named Yu Peng.
Don't look at the arrogant and domineering way he faced the beggar just now, the eldest of heaven, he is the second one.
But when he saw He Shen in official uniform, he thought of the power in He Shen's hands, and he immediately coaxed.
If he offends He Shen, as a ninth-rate person, even if he is beaten to death, the master behind him will not be able to make decisions for him.
And now, the attitude between He Shen's words is obviously biased towards those beggars, and Yu Peng is beating a drum in his heart at the moment.
He felt that he might not be able to please this trip.
Thinking of this, Yu Peng's heart was already extremely panicked.
”…………”
However, for the task assigned by his boss, Yu Peng could only bite the bullet and nodded back with a smile.
"The villain is wrong, this girl is not a thing, it is a person."
"However, this young girl was bought by our brothel yesterday for a full thirty taels of silver, and the deed of sale was signed."
"As a result, I didn't expect the silver to be given, but this young girl was snatched away by these beggars again!"
"In the face of this situation, the little ones are coarse and hot, and they are impulsive, messing around at the door of the restaurant, breaking the rules in Beijing, this is our fault, and please take .........care of the officials."
"As long as you let us bring this girl back today, we will definitely give it back to the adults tomorrow at the latest."
After hearing Yu Peng's words, He Shen couldn't deny it, didn't say a word, neither agreed nor disagreed.
And his attitude made the heart of the scar-faced man Yu Peng fall to the bottom in an instant...
Because of this attitudeless attitude, his position has been made clearer.
Ignoring the scar-faced man Yu Peng again, He Shen turned his head to look at the old beggar who was still kneeling on the ground and crying.
"Old man, what people say is reasonable, what do you say here?"
Although the old beggar is not too smart, he also knows that at this time, he should defend himself, otherwise the ending will definitely not be good...
After coughing, the old beggar hurriedly stood up, took He Shen's hand, and said.
"Lord Qingtian! That's not the case, these beasts are reversing black and white! ”
The old beggar's side finally stopped crying uselessly, and used both hands and mouths to explain the cause and effect of this incident to He Shen intermittently.
The old beggar's words, with a very heavy northwest dialect, and Shen here, listened to it in a daze, and listened patiently for a long time, and finally understood all this.
…………
The old beggar's name is Shangguan Yunsheng and he is from Shaanxi Province.
And the reason why he came to the capital thousands of miles away was entirely because of the drought in Shaanxi Province, the crops were not harvested, and he couldn't survive in his hometown, so he could only come to the capital to beg for a living.
And Shangguan Yu'er, a beautiful embryo, is his own granddaughter.
These beggars around are also fellow villagers in Shaanxi Province!
“……………”
Shaanxi Province has been hit by drought for nearly two years, coupled with the oppression and exploitation of local corrupt officials, many families have been displaced as a result.
Shangguan Yunsheng and Shangguan Yuer, the two grandchildren, were even more ruined because of this.
These people of Shaanxi Province, in order to seek a bite to eat, traveled thousands of miles, trekked through mountains and rivers, and came to the capital.
The big guy who walked together thought that Shangguan Yu'er would be a drag, but he never thought that Shangguan Yu'er was ingenious, and small objects such as grass butterflies, grass kites, and straw shoes woven from withered grass were very popular.
And these Shaanxi compatriots, on the way to Beijing, relied on Shangguan Yuer's skillful hands to earn copper plates, and they survived by gnawing on their nests.
It's just that villains with no conscience can be found everywhere, and among these people, there will naturally be no exception.
