One day when he was begging, Fang Shou accidentally touched a small handful of white hair behind the hooves of the powerful horse, so he was surrounded by the other party's house slaves and beaten violently. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I didn't care at all that this little beggar was just a child whose bones had not grown up, and those house slaves were quite ruthless, as if they had never left their hands, and the doll in front of them was just a dirty and humble beggar who didn't even have an identity.

And just when Fang Shou was beaten to death, a majestic shout suddenly came from the crowd of onlookers:

"Well, in broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun! Don't you take the law of the court into account for conniving at the servants of the house to beat people in the street?"

"Who is troublesome?" one of them, who was obviously a leader-like house slave, passed through the crowd, came to the nosy man, and immediately raised his hand to give the other party a slap, but before he could do anything, he was caught by the other party's backhand, fell to the ground on one knee, and cried out in pain for mercy:

"Oh, sir, the little one who didn't know that the adults came here and touched your brow, damn it!!"

As he spoke, he slapped himself with his other hand, and the sound of "popping" was extremely crisp, which made the spectators present palpitate.

"Humph!"

The person who came was an official. The capable robe, the thunder-patterned belt around the waist, tied a token representing the government, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a burly figure, and a pair of huge tiger eyes, at this moment, staring at the cadre without anger and authority, only lightly spit out one:

"Get out!"

Immediately, the powerful man who was used to being powerful and prosperous on weekdays hurriedly took a group of domestic slaves and thugs and left the downtown in a gloomy manner, and ran away without a shadow in an instant. And the house slaves who were captured by the official were also released from their shackles and slipped into the crowd.

Today's Daxuan requires that any death penalty must be reviewed by the central government and checked by the emperor before it can be executed, which means that all people, even privileged classes such as dignitaries and wealthy gentry, cannot blatantly beat people to death on the street.

It's just that the criminal law is so stipulated, but whether it is strictly enforced or not is another matter, and street beggars like Fang Shou are disgusted by everyone, and basically no one will report to the official with great fanfare because of the death of a beggar. However, if you meet an official on duty, you still have to pay attention to proportion, after all, people's words are terrifying, if this is spread to the top, you will be killed to make an example of the monkey! ! !

"Do you have a name?" Coming to the little beggar curled up like a pangolin, the big man squatted down, probed his nose with his hand, and saw that he was still breathing, and immediately touched the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, and crossed into a trace of true qi.

Miraculously, at the moment when this person put his hand on the top of his head, Fang Shou only felt a warm current, extending all the way from the top of his head, flowing through the limbs and hundreds of remains, as if soaking in a warm hot spring pool, his whole body was warm, there was an indescribable comfort, and at the same time, the injuries on his body were not so painful!

As soon as this big man made a move, it was like a panacea, so that Fang Shou's injuries improved instantly, and most of his spirit recovered, and at that moment, he opened his eyelids, looked at the strange man in front of him, and replied with some inferiority: "I..... My name is Ugly. ”

"Oh, don't you have a serious name?" the big man frowned slightly, but asked quietly on his face, "That child, tell me, why are you called Ugly?"

Fang Shou pursed his lips and replied in a milky voice: "Grandpa said that I was picked up by him, and I was born handsome when I was still in infancy, like a little girl's family, but my cheap name is easy to support, so I went the opposite way and called me 'Ugly'..."

"Grandpa, are you also a beggar?" the big man raised his eyebrows, "So, you're an orphan?"

"......" Hearing Dahan's question, Fang Shou's answer was no longer as crisp as before, he was silent for a moment, and finally let out a low "um", curled up again, and no longer looked at Dahan.

"Then you.... Would you like to learn from me? Hehe, I won't let you do it for nothing!"

"Huh?" Fang Shou suddenly had a spirit, quickly got up from the ground, knelt in front of the official, and kowtowed in a panic, "I'm willing~ willing!"

Looking at the little beggar who judged the two of them before and after, the big man suddenly shook his head, and asked with some tears and laughter: "Don't you even ask what to learn first, and you are busy agreeing? Aren't you afraid that I will hurt you?"

"If the adults want to harm me, if they don't save me, why wait until now!" Fang Shou raised his head, but in his immature eyes, there was an unprecedented firmness, "Grandpa raised me to adulthood, and gave Ah Chou his name, which is Chou's own grandfather, now that Grandpa is sick, Ah Chou wants to make money to treat him, he can suffer any hardship, and he is willing to suffer any hardship!"

"Alas, I can't save all the people in the world, but I hope I can save one..... It's one!" With a long sigh, the big man didn't say much, but with great speed, he stuffed a piece of silver into the little beggar's hand, and whispered, "This money is not much, but the savings are enough for your grandfather to survive for half a month." Half a month later, come to Wudaokou Yamen to look for me, I see that you have good muscles and bones, and you are a good material for martial arts, but now you are entangled in official business, and you have no time to take care of you, so you will go to find me when the time comes! Okay, let's go!"

patted Fang Shou on the shoulder, the big man gave him an encouraging look, and immediately, he got up, ready to leave, and before he could take a step, Fang Shou bowed again, trembling slightly uncontrollably, and asked in a somewhat eager voice: "Dare to ask the benefactor's name?"

"Hehe~ but I forgot" The big man paused, turned to look back at the little beggar, the sun hit his face, but it made Fang Shou feel an elder-like kindness. The corners of his mouth hooked up a confident smile, and he said with a high-spirited face:

"Ye Naixi's personal guard!"

"Zheng Jiupin Foreign Commissar is the chief 'Wei Chi' is also!"

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Fang Shou took a heavy step.

"As expected, the scene of the trial at this time, the time should be when I stood in front of the Wudaokou Yamen, waiting for the captain to be late. ”

Seeing that there was no one to take care of the old beggar, and after watching for a long time, the small figure never appeared, Fang Shou knew that he must have gone to the Wudaokou Yamen to go to Wei Chi's appointment.

But Wei Chi did not appear in the end.

The old beggar, in the end, did not survive a week and died.

And it was on the day of the death of the old beggar that he got acquainted with Li Jixuan, the high-flying prince of the West, by chance, and since then he has soared into the sky, like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, embarking on a journey with martial arts, all the way to the entrance examination to gain fame, and as a staff member of the Xishan Palace, he has become a great admirer in the mouth of the scribes in the Central Plains - the Holy Son of Xishan.

"At that time, I inquired with Lao Liu, and it turned out that Brother Wei Chi died unexpectedly during that official business, exposing his body in the wilderness, so he missed the appointment with me...... Alas"

With a long sigh, Fang Shou walked down the empty main street, and at the end of this road, it was leading to the Wudaokou Yamen, which was the example of Daxuan's righteousness and had killed countless corrupt officials.

"It's just that for me, who was desperate at the time, it was absolutely unbearable for Wei to miss the appointment. ”

The closer he got to the Wudaokou Yamen, the slower Fang Shou's pace became, and he began to feel a little unbearable, and he couldn't bear to experience that extreme despair again. It was as if countless glass beads were rolling off the bead plate, one by one, constantly hitting the softest part of his heart, jumping suddenly, almost suffocating.

But no matter how slowly he walked, the inescapable past was still so clearly presented in front of his eyes, as if he had been forcibly peeled away from the outside, completely exposing the bloodiest parts.

The "child" involuntarily approached with his legs, Fang Shou had tears in his eyes, slowly squatted down, looked at the pure eyes that were dazed and overwhelmed, and showed an extremely compassionate look, "You ......."

"Waiting for someone?"

Half a ring, no one answered, the little beggar in front of him, as if he had been hungry for a long time, pale and blank looking at the pedestrians on the road, muttering: "Brother Wei Chi promised me, he promised me...... Something must have delayed....... Delayed ......"

The placket was already wet with tears, Fang Shou's eyes were cloudy, and he picked up the little beggar as if no one was around, and carried it on his shoulder, wanting to find a place for him to eat, and then talk about eating something, but in exchange, it was-

"You let go of me!

I don't know where the strength came from, the little beggar struggled hard, kicked his legs wildly, and kept patting his back with both hands, and when he didn't let go, he bit down hard.

"Outside the courtroom, who is making a noise?"

Immediately, the two people on duty at the yamen were about to come forward to inquire when they saw this, and Fang Code hurriedly put down the little beggar, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to stuff a bag of broken silver into his arms, and immediately transmitted a message to him:

"Ugly, remember, no matter whether Brother Wei Chi can arrive or not, don't blame him, and don't blame yourself. Take this money, it will be better for you and the old man, and besides, it is better to use force to suppress people than to convince people with virtue, if you have the opportunity, it is better to study......"

After Fang Shou finished speaking, he pulled off his steps, and before a few catchers reacted, they ran away without a trace, and the catchers had a public office, and they couldn't leave their posts without permission, so they had to scold their mother helplessly, and when they saw that the little beggar was fine, they went back to duty, and one of them sighed for a long time, and said to the people next to him:

"This beggar has somehow been waiting all night in front of the door of our yamen without eating or drinking, and now half a day has passed, if he is free for a while, give him some water....... Hey, is he leaving?"

Touching the heavy silver bag in front of his chest, the little beggar was stunned for a second, then reacted immediately, hurriedly left, didn't dare to stay longer for a moment, and wanted to go back to take care of Grandpa, but in his hurry, he didn't forget to recall, how could the man who looked strange and had never crossed paths in his impression give himself an inexplicable sense of familiarity?

And after thinking that he knew that his name was "Ah Chou", and at the same time knew that Brother Wei Chi, he immediately realized that he secretly said in his heart:

"Yes! It must be that Brother Wei Chi is busy with official business, and he didn't have time to rush back, so he sent me silver first, but this silver is too much, enough for me to live for half a year, I have to hide it carefully, so that the people of the beggar gang can't find out!"

After figuring out the key, the little beggar Ugly couldn't hold back his excitement and trotted all the way away, but the scholar who had a relationship with him and had the grace of giving him silver was slowly forgotten with the passage of time.

It's just that on the top of the beam of the main hall of the yamen, Fang Shou turned back and stared at Ah Chou from a high place, until he finally disappeared in his eyes, and somehow, he burst into tears, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart?
