On the wedding night, Concubine Doctor took two cute treasures and blew up the palace

Wen Si'er and Li Yuanxiao looked at each other quickly, then quickly hid behind the dilapidated statue.

Only after he was out of sight of the group of people did Wen Sier look up, then he grabbed Li Yuanxiao by the back of his collar and whispered, "Stop."

"what?"

The next moment, before Li Yuanxiao could react, he felt himself floating in the air.

Wen Si'er actually jumped onto the beam with him so straight!

Li Yuanxiao's head was immediately covered with cold sweat. He consciously covered his mouth and did not scream out.

Then they saw four or five soldiers walking in.

As soon as these people came in, they patrolled around arrogantly. The beggars stood there without saying a word, just watching in silence.

After walking around and finding nothing, the leading officer stopped in front of them, looked down at them, snorted, and then opened his arms towards them.

He said nothing, but all the beggars began to take things from their possession.

After begging for a whole day, he only had a few copper coins on him.

A "ding dong" sound was heard, and scattered copper coins fell into the officer's hand. He withdrew his hand, weighed it a few times, and said "tsk" in dissatisfaction.

"Why just a little bit?"

Someone whispered, "We haven't eaten a single bite, this is all we have..."

Before he could finish his words, a soldier stepped forward and slapped him hard in the face with a "slap".

The man turned his head away suddenly, and blood immediately appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The beggar leader clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sir, after all, because the city is half closed, the business of the city people is not good, so this is all we can get."

The leading officer glanced at them sideways, smiled disdainfully, and put the copper coins away.

"A bunch of trash."

The beggars clenched their fists, but no one dared to speak.

"Here, give it to you. Don't starve to death."

He took out a bag from his arms and threw it on the ground. The bag opened and revealed a few dry biscuits.

Xiaofu lowered his head in silence and picked up the pancake.

"In a few days, there will be adults from the city coming to inspect. When that time comes, you all should be alert and keep yourselves together. If anything goes wrong... hehe, you know the consequences."

After saying these vicious words, the soldier waved his hand and strode out, followed by the others.

The surroundings became quiet, leaving only speechless silence.

Wen Si'er pursed her lips, grabbed the back of Li Yuanxiao's collar, and jumped down with him.

Xiaofu's eyes were still red. He held the pancake in his hand and said to the man who was beaten, "Uncle, are you okay?"

The man spat out a mouthful of blood foam and shook his head silently.

Xiaofu's eyes became redder. "They are going too far! The cakes they gave us this time are much less. We...we don't have enough to share..."

The beggar leader waved his hands and said in a rough voice, "Soak it in water, and drink some of it when the time comes. Give my share to Yunniang."

"Uncle Zhang..."

The beggar leader called Uncle Zhang interrupted him with an impatient wave of his hand, then looked up at Wen Si'er and Li Yuanxiao, his expression still unfriendly.

"Why don't you get out of here?" Li Yuanxiao hadn't recovered from what had just happened.

He obviously didn't expect that these soldiers would bully a group of beggars!
His expression changed several times, and he said anxiously: "No, what's going on? Why do these people rob you of your money? You just stand there and get bullied!"

Uncle Zhang's face darkened and he said angrily, "You know nothing! Get out of here quickly, or I'll let those people take you away!"

"Hey, are you guys being reasonable..."

Li Yuanxiao was about to go up to argue again, but Wen Si'er grabbed his arm and dragged him back. She still had that gentle expression on her face, and said in a gentle voice: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, we can take Yunniang away."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed.

The air suddenly became silent, and Xiaofu looked at Uncle Zhang with a pleading look in his eyes.

People around started whispering to each other.

"They can take Yunniang away? That's a good thing. If she stays here, she will die anyway!"

"Do you believe them when they say they can do it? These two people come from unknown places. Why would they help us? Maybe they have other intentions!"

"But they also said that we are a bunch of beggars...what good can we gain..."

"We can't leave, we can't even ask for confirmation. We won't know if the person is dead or alive!"

"But staying here means death..."

The buzz of discussion behind him was getting louder and louder. Uncle Zhang clenched and unclenched his hands, and finally looked at Wen Si'er with a gloomy face and said directly: "Okay, if you can take Yunniang out, this is a great favor, and we will repay you like a cow or a horse!"

There was silence for a moment, and someone stepped forward and said hesitantly, "Boss..."

Uncle Zhang raised his hand, signaling him not to speak anymore. His eyes were always on Wen Sier. The original vigilance had disappeared, replaced by something deeper and heavier.

Wen Sier raised his eyebrows slightly, "Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word and hurt you?"

Uncle Zhang was silent for a while, then said in a hoarse voice: "You can see that we have nothing and nothing to gain..."

"In fact, we are all refugees from the surrounding villages. We came to Xuzhou City and now... we have to leave here for some reasons. Our village chief died trying to save us, leaving Yunniang and Xiaofu as orphans and widows."

"We don't have the ability. Hiding Yunniang secretly is all we can do. We don't want to watch our benefactor die in front of us..."

As he spoke, the grown man's eyes turned red. All the others also lowered their heads. The atmosphere seemed particularly stagnant and depressed.

Li Yuanxiao had a look of surprise on his face, and looked like he wanted to ask something, but when he saw Wen Si'er's indifferent expression, as if he already knew everything, he held back and said nothing.

Wen Si'er was also straightforward. He didn't ask any more questions and said directly, "We can leave tonight."

"Okay!" Uncle Zhang gritted his teeth, turned around, fumbled behind the Buddhist shrine and statue for a while, and took out a cloth bag with a few copper coins in it.

He opened it and handed it over, saying, "This is all we have saved for a long time. You can take it all."

Wen Sier smiled and waved his hand, "I don't want money."

Uncle Zhang took the cloth bag back and just looked at her. He suddenly whispered, "You should have noticed that we are all men. There is not even a trace of the old, young, women or children..."

He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "We are indeed refugees, but we were captured by the soldiers in Xuzhou City! They made us pretend to be beggars in the city, and our wives and children are in their hands!"

Li Yuanxiao was immediately shocked. "What's the point of asking you to dress up as beggars!?"

Before Uncle Zhang replied, Wen Sier raised his hand, signaling Li Yuanxiao not to worry, and asked softly, "Zhang Wenju... do you know this person?"

As soon as this name was spoken, everyone's expression changed... (End of this chapter)
