Chapter 257 Desolate Temple Outside the City
Gu Qingcheng and Nangong Mo looked at each other, and they both saw a bit of disbelief in each other's eyes.

The old man they accidentally saved has become a key person at this moment.

"Thank you for reminding me, old man, let's say goodbye to the two of us."

Gu Qingcheng and Nangong Mo stood up at the same time, and bowed deeply, "You should stay at home these days, and don't go to other places if you have nothing to do?"

Seeing their appearance, the old man didn't know what to think of, so he just let out a low sigh.

"You young people, let's go, let's go."

After walking for a long time, Gu Qingcheng calmed down slowly, and glanced at the thatched hut behind him, "He looks like an ordinary old man, how can he get so much secret information?"

Nangong Mo knew what Gu Qingcheng meant by saying this.

"But right now, the news we get is only this one. Even if we are human beings who want to calculate, we have made a trap, and we can only jump into it."

Gu Qingcheng gritted his teeth: "I understand the truth that there is no turning back when you shoot the bow. It's just that although this old man looks pitiful, he is also a little too suspicious. Do you want to send someone to watch secretly?"

Nangong Mo glanced at Gu Qingcheng with a smile on his face: "Don't you think I came here recklessly? Before I decided to come here, I had already communicated with the people at the post station, and now this yard has been guarded." Now, if he wants to go out, someone will naturally follow behind."

"Firstly, it is to protect the old man. After all, his son also died for the country. Second, if there is really something wrong with the old man, we can also know her movements as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Gu Qingcheng felt relieved, "Then where are we going now? A deserted temple? I know where it is, and I can lead the way."

"Then thank you, Young Master Gu."

Gu Qingcheng is dressed as a man sitting today, Nangong Mo is deliberately teasing, Gu Qingcheng squinted at Nangong Mo: "Don't dare to be, dare not be, Mr. Nan, please first."

Although the whole body is about to storm, when the two of them get along, they still vaguely look like they used to.

In the thatched hut, the old man slowly walked back to the reclining chair. The sun shines from the layers of tree branches, and casts fine spots of light in the shadows. A breeze blows through the layers, and the gloomy leaves sway. , showing a bit of skylight and a ray of blue sky and white clouds, that is the most beautiful scenery in the world.

"Old guys... I have been lingering until today, and I finally saw an opportunity, our children, you all watch carefully from the sky."

"It is said that there are gods in the sky, but some people do all kinds of evil things, but they can still be prosperous. Some people protect everything well, but in the end they don't end well, so what's the use of gods?"

"Justice is at home, so sometimes, if you want to get justice back, you can only go to someone."

The old man closed his eyes slightly, poured the dirty wine in his hand to the ground without hesitation, and hummed an unknown song indistinctly, bringing a bit of desolation.

On the other side, there is a ruined temple outside the city.

"Come on... come on... wake up! wake up!"

A person dressed as a yamen servant took a piece of copper gong and banged it in the crowd of beggars. Looking at the groups of ragged clothes, knotted hair and smelly people around him, the yamen servant made no secret of his disgust.

"Get up for me! Do you hear me, get up for me! It's already high in the sun, and you're still sleeping! What are you going to sleep on? Get up and eat!"

After the beggars were woken up, their bodies almost reflexively flinched.

This kind of movement was noticed by the yamen servant, and he immediately taunted: "Oh, the dog knows how to be afraid! If you don't think about running outside all day, can you beat you? This is because the adults above are showing mercy. You are able to have such a place to sleep and so much to eat!"

Almost all the people who nestled together dared not speak out.

Some of them are desolate people, some are from poor families, and some are orphans, who have no choice but to embark on the road of begging.

But in the final analysis, they have never intentionally harmed anyone.

Although the people in front of them showed mercy one by one, they found it extremely ridiculous in their eyes.

Before though.It's also the rats that cross the street, everyone shouts and beats them, and they use the sky as their quilt and the ground as their mat, but they finally feel at ease.

It's not like being detained in this dilapidated temple now, beating and scolding every day, even if the meal is delivered by the name, it's just a bucket of drinking water in those wine shops.

The yamen servants looked at those beggars, each of them was cowering, and no one dared to come out to answer, so they couldn't help but feel that they were not interested.

Taking out the handkerchief to cover their mouth and nose, the two of them carried the things in front of everyone in buckets, probably because the smell was really bad, and after putting them in front of those beggars, people stepped aside.

"What are you looking at? Eat! You people are no better than pigs and dogs, so you only deserve to eat something like this."

The beggars looked numb, took out broken bowls from the corners, scooped things from the buckets emitting all kinds of peculiar smells, and started eating.

Those yamen servants were far away, and the table was full of good wine and good food. Watching those people scrambling to eat the swill, the smiles on their faces were undisguised, and they even made jokes.

"You people can eat such food so happily. Hey, tell me, have you ever robbed pigs and dogs for food before?"

"It's a pity that they can only be detained in this ruined temple. Otherwise, driving them to the pigsty would be a great joy in the world."

Gu Qingcheng and Nangong Mo led a group of men in black. Everyone watched this scene from a distance, and all of a sudden, they felt mixed emotions in their hearts.

"Who are these people? They are just mere government servants, and they dare to be so presumptuous!"

Gu Qingcheng gritted his teeth, "I really don't know how the people above them exploit the common people on a daily basis.

"If they were ordinary people, these yamen servants would naturally not be able to make such a big splash." Nangong Mo looked at the group of ragged people: "But it's just because they are beggars and have no official household registration, so in the eyes of those in power, such talents I will die like nothing."

"These yamen servants are probably instigated by others to exploit the confidantes of the people. Naturally, they are used to wearing fine clothes and food on weekdays. If he is really in this group of people, then he will definitely hate such days. , and the performance will definitely not be the same as a real beggar."

"In this way, he can be found."
