Chapter 162 What do you want from me?
The man looked a bit miserable, and took another sip of his drink. He frowned when he saw the "babbling" tone on the stage, leaned on his arm and called Xiao Er loudly, saying:

"I said, these days are hard enough, let's drink some tea, can we sing a cheerful tune?"

When the little girl heard this, she smiled apologetically and said, "Yo, what you said is reasonable. I'll talk to her and change the big guy to something cheerful."

Xiao Er turned around and went to the stands.

Xie Yuan was born with powerful Danfeng eyes, and when he habitually kept his face cold, he carried an aura that strangers should not enter.

The respectable diner took a look at Xie Yuan, swallowed back the words he wanted to chat, and just turned his head to look at the stands, when he saw Shen Liuzhen raised his hand and asked with a smile:
"This big brother... I remember it was a storyteller, why did it change?"

The respectable diner turned his eyes around again, seeing Shen Liuzhen's handsome face, smiling harmlessly and pleasingly, he immediately became interested in talking:
"He, he left three years ago. He said that it became the territory of the Hu people, and said that it was the history books of the Han people. He was afraid of disaster, so he went directly to the south."

Shen Liuzhen heard about it, thought for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Then...then...have they ever existed..."

He stretched out his finger pointing outside pointingly, and stopped talking.

The man understood, and said: "Hey... there are only a few of them. They are either in the military camp or farming in the military town. They rarely go out for a stroll. Some of them moved south from the Jin Dynasty. The Hu people, after two or three generations, will be exactly the same as us Han people except that they look different."

He said here, paused, and said:
"It's ridiculous to say that there used to be a few barbarians pretending to be Xianbei people to show off their power everywhere, eating and drinking for nothing. As a result, the county guard locked them up and took them to reason with the general of the Xianbei people. As a result, they didn't recognize them at all. , Said that they can't even speak Xianbei dialect, what kind of Xianbei are they? Guess what, just treat them as Han Chinese, and Caishikou beheaded..."

When Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan heard about it, they looked at each other, and each of them became thoughtful.

A cheerful tune had already been played on the stage, and the fingers of the woman playing the pipa fluttered like orchids, smiling picturesquely.

The respectable man took another small sip, sighed and said:
"Hey... It's hard to live. I collected taxes again yesterday, one household and one piece of silk, and nothing else. After all, there are a lot of Han people in this world.... Even the Xianbei people collect taxes too often, I don't know Whichever general is in charge, he will take it back once he thinks of it. If you want to save some family wealth, you will not be able to save it if you are in trouble."

"What are you saving for... idiots are saving." The carpenter who collapsed at the beginning, who didn't know whether he was really drunk or pretended to be asleep, said this sentence.

The respectable diner chuckled helplessly, and said, "I'm not like you. I can eat enough for one person and the whole family won't be hungry. I have to plan for the whole family... If I break the cans like you, I will never get ahead." It's day."

As he spoke, he put his eyes on Shen Liuzhen and asked, "Xiao Langjun, do you think I'm right?"

"Yes... Brother is right." Shen Liuzhen nodded slightly, with a very serious expression.

"Hey, that's enough." The respectable diner drank the wine in the glass, took out a few copper coins from his cuff, put them on the table, and said:
"After drinking a cup today, it's time to go back."

He went around the table, bowed his hands politely to Shen Liuzhen, and when he walked past Xie Yuan, he suddenly pointed at her and teased Shen Liuzhen, saying:
"This little man is really energetic, he is a man at first glance." Then he curled his lips and gave a thumbs up, then turned and went downstairs.

Xie Yuan turned around to look at his back in surprise, then turned his head and asked Shen Liuzhen: "What does he mean?"

Shen Liuzhen felt a little proud in his heart, as if he was the one being praised, showing two dimples and saying:

"It's okay...he's a little afraid of you."

At this moment, a voice came from outside the window: "Hey! How can I get to the Shen family?"

"Which Shen family? I don't know!" The person who was asked was not polite.

"What's your attitude when I ask you?!"

Shen Liuzhen felt that this tone was inexplicably familiar, so he turned his head and looked out the window, and saw a carriage parked not far below. Shen Liuzhen saw that the person asking for directions was actually a servant of Zong Ai's family.

He froze there immediately, looking at the carriage with a dignified expression, his mind kept spinning.

"Does any of you know where Shen Liuzhen's home is?!" Zong Ai's servant yelled in the street.

Shen Liuzhen quickly moved away from the window, walked to the other side of Xie Yuan and sat down, frowning.

Zong Ai's servant... and the carriage, why did they come to him?
While thinking, he subconsciously stretched out his hand, turned the teacup on the table, twirling his slender and white fingers lightly, the teacup was steaming, leaving circles of overlapping watermarks on the table.

Seeing that he suddenly behaved like this, Xie Yuan didn't have the usual fake and rogue look at all, so he asked:
"What's the matter? Who is the person looking for you outside?"

Shen Liuzhen looked at Xie Yuan, his eyes flickered, he let go of the teacup with his fingers, and said, "I'll go down and have a look, A Yuan, if something happens to me, remember to save me, ah."

After that, he stood up, turned around and walked towards the stairs.

Xie Yuan leaned over and took a look out of the window, then looked at Shen Liuzhen, and saw his back standing at the stairs, shaking his sleeves to get ready, and then hurried downstairs as if he had made up his mind up.

Xie Yuan glanced out of the window again, and saw that the group looking for him was aggressive, as if they didn't pay attention to anyone, he just felt that something was wrong, so he got up quickly, with the sword in his hand, and followed downstairs went.

Shen Liuzhen hurried to the side of the carriage outside, and quickly grabbed the yelling person who asked him, and anxiously silenced him, saying:
"Hush! What are you doing? Don't you know that the imperial court is paying you people? How dare you make such a show on the street?"

When the man saw Shen Liuzhen, his eyes lit up all of a sudden, he pointed at him and said:
"Hey, what a coincidence, Mr. Shen, are we looking for you?"

Shen Liuzhen said worriedly: "Just look for it, keep a low profile... What are you looking for? Are you going to run away and run out of money? I'll go home and get it for you."

At this moment, Xie Yuan just went downstairs, and stood vigilantly at the door of the teahouse, with a straight posture, observed the surrounding crowd, and kept the location and number of this group in mind, then looked at Shen Liuzhen and the others Every move, ready to shoot at any time.

"Oh...it's not that far. We came to you because we have something to ask. Come and see me." The servant said and led Shen Liuzhen to the carriage.
