Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 18 Something happened
  Others helped each other out of the carriage. When Zhao Yujia saw Zhao Shuqing sitting motionless in the carriage, he asked, "Sister Qing, won't you get off?"

Zhao Shuqing shook his head, "I am weak and can't stand the wind, so I won't go down."

After hearing this, the girls said nothing more and walked towards the crowd accompanied by several servants who escorted them back to Zhuangzi.

After getting closer, I found two carriages surrounded by a group of people.

There were three guards beside the carriage. They glared angrily at an old woman sitting on the ground in front of the carriage. She was holding a child in her arms and crying, shouting: "Ah Yuan, grandma is so good." Sun, don’t scare Grandma”

"Okay, old woman, stop being so messy. Your grandpa has been deceived by deception. You really don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has, right? Get out of the way. If you don't get out of the way, you will be better off." A bearded guard got impatient and shouted loudly.

The old woman responded without fear: "You hit my grandson. You can't leave without paying compensation. Even if you file a lawsuit with the government, I will be justified."

Following her cry, a group of farmers with hoes, rakes and other agricultural tools appeared. They were outnumbered and seemed not to take the three guards seriously.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the three guards became increasingly grim, their eyes filled with fierceness, and they were obviously angry.

When they wanted to roll up their sleeves and use force to drive away these people, a clear voice came from the carriage, "Qi Ming, don't be rude."

Hearing this, the bearded guard said helplessly: "Master, it's not that my subordinates are being cruel, it's that these unreasonable people are being unreasonable."

"Since it was our carriage that hit someone, help the old man and the injured child into the carriage and take them to the hospital in the city for a look."

As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman said: "If I don't go to the city, who knows if you rich people will turn against us and kill our grandparents and grandchildren. You just need to give us money, and we will ask the doctor to look at the injury ourselves." "

The poor are afraid of the rich, and the people are afraid of officials.

The old woman's words sounded reasonable.

A sigh came from inside the car, "Old man, this is the foot of the emperor. Who dares to bully the weak? If your child is really injured, he should be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. It would be bad if you shirk and waste time like this."

The guard named Qi Ming gave a strange laugh and said, "That's right, old lady, you said your grandson was injured and is about to die. If you don't send him to the hospital quickly, you just want money. I think this grandson may not be your biological grandson. He You may not have been injured. You just wanted to extort money. You didn’t dare to follow into the city because you were afraid of being exposed.”

Hearing this, the old woman hugged the child excitedly and cried even harder.

The villagers holding farm tools also echoed: "Compensation, compensation for medical expenses."

"If you hit someone, you can't leave without compensation."

"That's right, compensation, hurry up and compensate."

There was a lot of noise and chaos.

Qi Ming shouted loudly: "Shut up!" Suppressed by his momentum, everyone fell silent for a while.

The young man in the car spoke again: "Qi Ming, don't get excited. It's normal for an old man to worry about his grandchildren. Let's do this. If you are worried that we have evil intentions and are not good for you, you can choose a few strong people. Accompany me."

This sounds reasonable, but if the old woman's grandson was really injured by a carriage, she would probably agree.

However, the old woman was holding her child tightly and crying, and was unwilling to go to the city for medical treatment.

The villagers started to make noise again: "Don't try to play tricks. Just leave us alive without compensation. There is nothing to say."

"This is on our territory, you don't want to bully us." Zhao Yuxiu asked doubtfully: "That young master is right, why don't they listen?"

"They are here just for the money, so of course they won't listen to that young master." Zhao Wangshu looked at the old woman's clothes covered with patches with complicated eyes.

Although the old woman should not use this method to extort money, she still hoped that the young man in the car could solve the problem peacefully instead of using violence.

Zhao Yuxiu said angrily: "In order to make dirty money, you actually ignored the safety of a child. It's really abominable."

"I see, that child may not be her grandson." Zhao Yuying probed her head and said.

After these two conversations, the situation has changed.

When several villagers saw that the young master insisted on taking people into the city, they looked at each other with unwillingness.

They know very well that if they are taken away, they will definitely not get any benefits.

At this time, a strong man stepped forward and pulled up the old woman and the child in her arms, and said dissatisfiedly: "Forget it, forget it, this kid is unlucky. Children from poor families deserve to be injured and die after falling."

When Zhao Wangshu saw the child, there was really a big bump on his forehead, and there were bloodshot eyes oozing out from the bump. He took a deep breath. This child was really hit by a carriage and needed to be sent to the hospital quickly.

"The carriage stopped a long way away. You know where this little kid got the wound on his head. Don't try to blackmail him." However, Qi Ming's words indicated that they were having trouble.

However, this group of people's tactics were very clever and cruel, and they even let a really injured child act as the victim.

At this moment, the car door opened and the young man inside came out. He has a handsome appearance, wearing a dark green brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist. His face looks like a crown of jade, and his lips are painted with elixir. He looks like a young master from a wealthy family.

Seeing this noble young master, the villagers took a few steps back involuntarily.

The strong man cursed and pulled the injured boy, causing him to stagger and almost fall.

"I met you the first time I came to Beijing. It seems that we are destined. I happen to be short of an errand boy. I am willing to pay ten taels of silver. If you are willing, you can sell this boy to me. What do you think? How is it?" Your Majesty asked in a gentle tone.

Ten taels of silver is a considerable amount of income for a farmer.

The strong man holding the boy said, "I want twenty taels of silver, otherwise I won't sell it."

Someone also echoed, "Yes, it costs twenty taels of silver. Such a big boy can do a lot of things."

The child named A Yuan looked numb, listening to the people around him bargaining and talking about the money for selling his body.

The noble prince smiled and said: "Although it is my first time to come to Beijing, I also know that buying an adult man in Beijing only costs three to five taels of silver. If I didn't think that this child is very destined for me, I might not buy him back." If you really can’t bear it, forget it.”

After hearing this, the strong man showed hesitation and asked his mother: "Mom, what do you think?"

His mother looked at him with red eyes. She was willing to do it when her son asked her grandson to blackmail him, but she was not willing to sell her grandson. "Erlang, Ayuan is the only bloodline left by your eldest brother. You let him..."

"Mom, our family has little land and many people, how can we raise him?" The strong man interrupted her.

The old woman also knew her son's difficulty, lowered her head, wept silently, and slowly loosened her hands.
