Chapter 40

"I don't believe it. In the refugee camp, there are people living in shacks who lack food and clothing. If they had money to pay, they wouldn't live in shacks." Shen Liuzhen said.

"Hey...you don't know. They fled from home because of the war. No matter how hurried they are, they have to take the valuables at home with them. Because there are too many people, there are orders from above. If they are allowed to enter the city, they can only nest outside the city gate. Then they need food and clothing, so they can’t go into the city to buy them. They don’t have the household registration of the city and can’t get in. So can’t we rely on us?” The bald bully smiled slyly , revealing a mouthful of jagged yellow teeth.

Xie Yuan rolled his eyes, because he just wanted to vomit like a villain.

Shen Liuzhen, on the other hand, seemed to be taught suddenly, and said, "Oh...so that's the case." With a pair of curious eyes, he moved forward excitedly, "Then, there must be a lot of strange things? Are there any?" What is rare? For example, what about antique calligraphy and paintings?"

Xie Yuan turned his face away and frowned, looking at Shen Liuzhen's appearance of wanting to join forces, his face was full of disgust.

"Yo, Mr. Xiaolang, you really know how to joke. Calligraphy and paintings are all things from famous clans...just like yours. Ordinary people can't even read. If you give them to him, they will have them." I don’t know what it is. Besides, I don’t know the antiques, anyway, if someone gave them to me, I gave them to Captain Zhang.”

Shen Liuzhen sighed in disappointment, and said, "Oh, it's a pity... I want to see it too."

"You go to Captain Zhang to have a look, all the good things are in his place."

Seeing Shen Liuzhen's expression of pity, Xie Yuan stopped talking, while the bald bully grabbed the fence with both hands and looked at Shen Liuzhen with a flattering expression.

She raised her arm and knocked the torture instrument in her hand against the fence.Just about to say: "You..."

With a sound of "snap", the wooden stick on the clip of her hand broke, and the pieces flew around. If it weren't for the wired connection, several of the broken ones didn't fly out, and the people standing around her would have been accidentally injured. .

Everyone was startled.

Not to mention the bald bully inside, he let go of his hand and jumped in fright, looking at Xie Yuan in horror.

Xie Yuan stared blankly at the wreckage in his hand, then raised his face and embarrassedly stuffed it to the stunned prisoner next to him, and said with an embarrassed smile:
"Hehe... This stick looks dark, and it's too weak..."

"Lang Jun...it's made of black bamboo, the toughest." The prison chief shook the things in his hands with a complicated expression, and the broken sticks connected to the strings crackled and crackled, echoing in the empty cell .

Xie Yuan was even more embarrassed, she wanted to scare her.But because this bully is really not pleasing to the eye, I unconsciously put a lot of effort into my hands...

Shen Liuzhen cleared his throat, leaned back slightly, raised his sleeves and looked at her defensively and said:

"A Yuan...do you know how heavy the epee you usually swing for practice? Next time you hit someone, take it easy..."

Xie Yuan straightened his back, pursed his lips and said nothing, and shouted directly into the cell:

"What about the fact that you brought someone to kill me?!"

"Oh... Didn't I say it? It was all a misunderstanding, Mr. Shen's family, we are just caterpillars in the field. It's not worth mentioning. If you have no other skills, you will speak harshly. It's not like you are a hero. Just spare me this time. Look..." He pointed at his head aggrievedly, and said, "Don't you see that one of my ears was cut off by you? Why are you still angry?"

Xie Yuan's angry expression loosened for a moment.

She was not a harsh person, she was usually kind.

Because of her naughtiness, the Xie family strictly controlled her words and deeds, for fear that she would go astray.The so-called knowledge of books and principles has been engraved in the blood.

If these people hadn't gone too far and crossed her bottom line with all kinds of evil, she wouldn't have cut off people's ears as soon as she came up.

Shen Liuzhen glanced at her and knew what she was thinking, so he quickly said to the bully:

"She's easy to coax, and she's short of money. How much money do you have in your family? Just pay her, and that's all."

The emotion on Xie Yuan's face changed, he frowned, looked at Shen Liuzhen and said, "I'm short of money...Do you want to say it? Do you want to be beaten?"

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, he raised his wide sleeves to cover his face, and stopped talking, looking very scared.

The bald bully took a look, and there was something he didn't understand.

The son of the military commander's family is rough, and he is probably used to running rampant, even the son of the Xie family—his friend is not immune to it...

If his irrelevant little guy falls into his hands, what good is it?

So the bald bully said to Xie Yuan with a mournful face:
"Xiao Langjun, tell me, can this matter really pass? As long as I give the money, you can let me out, don't worry about it?"

Xie Yuan's Danfeng eyes lowered, and said: "That depends on how much you have, I'm not happy if I don't have one."

"I'll give you everything I have...just please forgive me."

"How much?" Xie Yuan asked impatiently.

"I... I have 200 taels." The bully said with a distorted face, as if his flesh had been cut.

Xie Yuan pondered for a while, then looked at Shen Liuzhen again, and saw that Shen Liuzhen also looked like he was waiting for her to speak.

So he said to the bald bully:
"Okay, but I still have one condition. From now on, you will obey me. Whatever I tell you to do, you have to do."

Now the bully was happy, and his tensed face instantly relaxed, and he said to Xie Yuan:

"It's my blessing to be able to follow you. The little one can't wait, the little one can't wait."

After he finished speaking, seeing Xie Yuan with his chin up, a pair of red phoenix eyes staring at him seriously, he felt uneasy again, so he turned to Shen Liuzhen and said:

"Mr. Xie's family, you are a scholar, you mean what you say, and you value credibility. You have to give me a certificate. I will hand over the 200 taels of silver, and you will let me go. Let the past go."

Shen Liuzhen put his hands in his sleeves, nodded, and said sincerely: "It's natural....But you made a mistake about one thing."

"What... what?" the bald bully stammered.

Shen Liuzhen pointed at Xie Yuan with his chin, and said, "Her surname is Xie, and my surname is Shen."

The bald bully didn't react for a while, and stared blankly at the two ten-year-old children, dumbfounded...

……

……

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen took the bald bully to withdraw money.

He was running on the ground, while Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan were riding on tall horses, surrounded by a group of yamen servants from the county guard's mansion, and a group of Shen family's personal soldiers.

These people are all officials, and they are well-trained and imposing. He is a bastard in there, and he only feels that he is shorter than others, but he is much taller than ordinary people on the street.

At the moment, he was very lucky to be able to climb the two thighs of Xie's and Shen's families, and he didn't even care about losing the 200 taels of silver.

With shackles on his hands, he leaned next to Shen Liuzhen's horse, chatted up dog-legs while running, and said:
"Mr. Lang, it's really strange. People say that dragon begets dragon and phoenix begets phoenix. Why are you two born upside down? Are you kidding me?"
