After Princess Jiaojiao was reborn, the little general’s crematorium

Chapter 48 The temptation of one hundred taels of gold

"Mom, I'm back."

It was a young female voice.

Then the little beggar who had met Fu Yanping before ran directly towards the woman. She obviously didn't notice Fu Yanping here.

"You kid, where did you go to the wild again?"

The woman's voice was slightly reproachful, and she stroked the little beggar's head with a hint of weakness in her smile.

"Mom, look what this is!"

As the little beggar was talking, he took out a fifty-tael silver ingot from his pocket and waved it in front of the woman.

The sunlight hits the silver ingot, shining with dazzling silver light.

The woman was stunned for a long time, and the expression on her face changed from confusion to surprise: "How did you get it?"

Soon a large group of people came and surrounded the little beggar. The man leading the group had a scar on his face, which disfigured his otherwise good face and looked particularly abrupt.

He clicked his fingers together, and there was a hint of threat in his tone:

"I just asked you, why are you so weird today? The thief is indeed you."

"Today, don't blame us for not remembering the friendship between neighbors in the past. If you want to blame us, just blame you for offending people who shouldn't be offended."

After saying that, he walked towards the little beggar.

As long as she is handed over to the Chu Mansion, a hundred taels of gold will be obtained.

"Wait a minute," the woman said, protecting the little beggar behind her, "What are you going to do?"

"He stole money from the Chu Mansion, so of course we caught him and handed him over to the Chu Mansion," Scarface said fiercely, "Brothers, stop talking nonsense to them, catch us so we can go back and claim credit. .”

As he said that, a group of people gradually approached the little beggar.

"Mother, save me." The little beggar said pitifully, with a cry in his tone.

The woman guarded the little beggar tightly behind her: "Just return the money to them. Folks, please do a good job and don't make things difficult for us two again."

Scarface obviously didn't buy it and pushed the woman away. The latter fell to the ground in pain, blood gushing out from between his legs.

Scarface was startled by the scene in front of him, and his tone softened slightly:
  "This won't work. The Chu Mansion wants us to catch the thief and reward him with a hundred taels of gold. Then we brothers will share it equally with you, and we won't have to live in this slum for the rest of our lives."

"You said that when the time comes, you can take the gold and find a reliable family to marry. A brat like her can have as many children as she wants."

As he spoke, he picked up the little beggar by his collar.

The woman had a complicated expression, as if she had been convinced by the other party, a look of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and then she nodded.

Scarface and the others took the little beggar and turned around and left. No matter how much the little beggar cried, no one present was moved.

——Except Helian Wenyu.

"Why are you stopping me from rescuing people?" She looked at Fu Yanping impatiently.

It's so cold-blooded.

That little girl just stole some money. How could a wealthy family like Chu Mansion be short of such money?
  "She is a thief. She not only stole money, this is retribution." Fu Yanping finally let go of Helian Wenyu's hand when he saw the group of people walking away.

"What can be important enough for a noble to attack defenseless poor people?" Helian Wenyu asked rhetorically.

Chu Chuanping's status jade pendant symbolizes the status of a third-rank official. In a sense, it is no exaggeration to say that it is the most precious thing in the entire Chu family.

But Fu Yanping knew His Highness's temper well and decided not to explain anything.

Unexpectedly, Helian Wenyu chased after him in the next second: "I want to see who in the Chu family dares to be so arrogant."

Tuo Zhoubai saw this and quickly followed, leaving Fu Yanping alone standing there.

This scene was obviously seen by the woman just now. She approached Fu Yanping cautiously and said with a smile:
  "This young master is from a noble family. I wonder if he has any friendship with the Chu family?"

Fu Yanping answered truthfully: "It's just like friendship."

Maybe the only friendship left is hatred. "Then my daughter...can she survive?" An imperceptible light flashed in the woman's eyes.

Fu Yanping was stunned and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Since the Chu Mansion spent a hundred taels of gold to capture the thief, they would naturally not let him go easily.

What's more... that person is Chu Chuanping.

"Then..." The woman's expression dodges a little, "Will the Chu Mansion compensate us? After all, it is not easy to raise a child from childhood to such a big age."

Fu Yanping was speechless.

If you really have money, you can do anything.

He touched his pockets, but he only had a dozen taels of silver left, so he threw them all to the woman.

"If that's the case, Fu Mansion will buy your daughter. This is the deposit, and I'll have the rest delivered to me later."

No wonder her daughter is a thief.

poor person must have something mean.

Isn't it a good thing for the little beggar to leave such a mother?
  "Thank you, sir!"

The women were so excited that they knelt down and kowtowed dozens of times.

The greed of human nature is so vividly displayed in this dilapidated slum, which makes Fu Yanping extremely disgusted.

When he first arrived here, he might have felt pity for the people here, but as time passed, he didn't want to stay for a second longer.

He bypassed the woman kneeling on the ground and chased in the direction Helian Wenyu left.

After a while, I caught up with him.

To be precise, he didn't catch up, but Helian Wenyu stopped right in front.

"None of you are allowed to come here. If you come here again, I will kill him."

It was the childish voice of the little beggar.

She was holding a dagger against Scarface's neck.

Scarface is the boss of this group, and it has to be said that her threats are quite intimidating.

Just when she was about to repeat her old tricks and escape from this place, she heard a cold snort of contempt.

"You little brat, how dare you get serious with me."

Scarface didn't accept this trick at all. He grabbed the opponent's hands and shook them hard, throwing the little beggar from behind to in front of him.

Don't underestimate the slums. The men here are basically as strong as cattle, and weak girls like the little beggar are far behind.

Being thrown away like this, the little beggar felt her stomach churn. She barely supported her body, and what she saw was indeed the ferocious scar on the scarred face.

"You have two choices: one is to follow me obediently, or the other is to be knocked unconscious by me and kidnapped to the Chu Mansion."

He wiped the blood that oozed slightly from his neck, and felt that the little beggar's resistance was so pitiful that it was almost funny.

That's a hundred taels of gold. Looking at the entire slum, who would have trouble with money?

"I dont go."

The little beggar gave him a sharp look.

Scarface raised his hand and said: "Brothers, come on, knock her unconscious and carry her to Chu Mansion."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was gearing up to approach the little beggar.

"stop!"

Seeing that someone was about to beat the little beggar unconscious, Helian Wenyu finally spoke.
