The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 279
"Sit." Little Niqian wiped the bench with his sleeve, and brought it to Xuemei.

Xuemei sat down, took out a 100 tael silver note from her cuff, put it on the table, and said, "My master asked me to ask you who is behind those beggars and what their origins are. You said, these money It's yours."

Seeing that Little Niach was stunned, Xuemei rolled her eyes slightly, and then said: "Don't worry, my master is the most trustworthy and will not trouble you."

The word "keep faith" was a bit harsh to Little Niqiu, he didn't look at the bank notes on the table, but just looked at Xuemei's side face,
He was pleasantly surprised to find that Xuemei was wearing a hairpin from him, and only the hairpin from him.

At this moment, he decided to tell Xuemei everything he knew, not for the 100 taels, but just to not embarrass Xuemei.

If Xuemei didn't ask anything from him, I'm afraid Xuemei will be punished when she goes back.

So he said: "Our history has to start from seven years ago."

"You?" Xuemei looked sideways at Little Niach, as if she didn't understand what Little Niach meant.

Just listen to the little Niqiu talking to her: "Seven years ago, we were beggars in Lin'an..."

seven years ago.

When a severe cold comes, the ruined temple in Lin'an can't stop the wind mixed with snowflakes, and the fire that is finally burning can only feel a little warmth.

A group of beggars gathered together in a room that was still in good condition. There was a big hole in the window, which was blocked with stones and mud, but the wind still blew in through the gap.

This group of beggars couldn't go out in the cold for the past two days, and there was not much food left from the beggars a few days ago. Little Niqian sat in front of an old beggar.

But at the age of ten, he was thin and small, and the old beggar next to him was also skinny, obviously caused by long-term lack of food, but the little loach was better, and the old beggar who had food would take care of him first.

They sat a little far away from the fire, so it was even colder, he sniffed, and slowly leaned on the old beggar.

"Cold?" The old beggar glanced at him, his eyes were fierce, so fierce that he felt scared.

He was picked up by the old beggar four years ago, when he was only six years old, and for so many years, he never called the old beggar Daddy, because the old beggar didn't let him call him that.

He only knew that the old beggar was an old beggar, and he didn't know his name.

Facing the old beggar's question, he nodded timidly.

The old beggar snorted rather disgusted, but he didn't stop him from approaching. The old beggar always disliked him, always saying "I can't get enough to eat, so I brought you back, you little bastard".

The name Little Loach was also given to him by the old beggar, who said he wanted him to look like a loach.

Such a life can actually be lived on. Although he starves twice for three days, at least he will not die of starvation.

But the good times didn't last long, a group of gangsters came to Lin'an, there were seven or eight of them, all of them were as strong as cows, and they were all in peace, but one day these gangsters targeted them beggars.

That group of gangsters called themselves Tian Ba, and the leader was Dao Scar. That man really had a long scar on his face, and he looked extremely cautious.

These people will take the money they ask for, and they will be beaten if they don't want to.

With the physique of these people, a group of beggars can't beat them together, and they can only watch helplessly as the copper coins in the bowl are robbed.

Later, when they saw this group of people, they took a detour. After half a month, this group began to arrest their people, broke some of their beggars' legs, and forced the beggars to drag their disabled bodies to beg on the street.
