Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 59
While they were talking, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy with rough clothes and a dirty face was begging for money with a rough porcelain bowl with a rotten edge. "I beg you, high official, please give me two small coins! God bless the official in high school, and then save money."

Xingyuan, the leader of the Tribute Tribute Juren sent Jie to participate in the Tribute Judgment, Wang Xiu listened comfortably, this flattery, who doesn't like other people's compliments!The child is quite pitiful, so you might as well just take out some money and smile gently: "What's the name of the little brother, the accent is not from Kaifeng Mandarin, how can you beg along the street if you don't go to a nursing home?"

"The young Li Changsheng, whose family was poor and suffered a natural disaster, was exiled to Wanqiu when his parents died on the way. The high-ranking officials behaved well, but the young one didn't eat all day." The little beggar looked at Wang Xiu pitifully, his eyes full of tears. looking forward to.

"Okay, I'll give you some money to sell some pancakes to eat." Wang Xiu took out a money bag from her sleeve, took out three Wen coins from it, and gave it to the little beggar. After a moment of hesitation, she took out a small piece of silver and handed it In the past, the money bag was hung on the belt.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir, you are really a kind person." The little beggar knelt on the ground and kowtowed, this piece of silver can be exchanged for more than a hundred coins.

Wang Xiu was in a good mood, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, it's just a few copper coins, let's get up and eat."

"The little one wishes that the big officials will be high-ranking officials, rich in salary, prosperous in official fortune, and be enshrined from generation to generation." After the little beggar kowtowed, he got up and walked past Wang Xiu.He Wei curled his lips, and muttered in his mouth: "Little slippery head."

"It's pitiful to come out to beg at such a young age, really pitiful." Wang Xiu sighed, glanced at He Wei dissatisfiedly, and said indifferently: "The shopkeeper is rich and honored, and you have never suffered from hunger and hunger."

Although, through my own efforts, I have lived a life without worrying about food and clothing, I feel sorry for these people living in the lower class, and their lives are really poor. It can be seen that in the prosperous world, there is always a dark side.

He Wei curled his lips, feeling very unconvinced, but he didn't dare to refute.

Wang Xiu sighed, feeling pity for the little beggar, she accidentally reached out to touch the purse at her waist, trying to put the purse into her sleeve, but after touching both, it was empty.

"It's broken, I met a thief." When he looked around, but there was no figure of a little beggar, he felt aggrieved.

He Wei was startled, and said: "Thief." Immediately his face changed, and he said bitterly: "I'll go after him."

But Wang Xiu grabbed He Wei, and said solemnly: "It's just a few pennies lost, but it's enough for the little beggar to feed and feed for a few days. Quan should have done a good deed." Maybe it was self-comfort, but he felt more at ease, and he There is still money stored in the Wanshi Xingzhi Treasury. Think about feeding and feeding the little beggar for a few months, counting it as a good deed.

"I'll see you tomorrow for breakfast!"

The corner of He Wei's mouth twitched, and he forced a smile and said: "Look at what the old man said, even if the younger brother bears the cost of eating and drinking all by himself, then it doesn't matter."

"You little bastard, you actually stole from my old lady, I'll see you looking for a beating."

There was a burst of yelling and cursing, and Wang Xiu couldn't help being startled. She stopped in the footsteps she had just taken, and turned around to look.

But I saw a fat old bustard grabbing a boy and whipping him with a small whip, and a thin girl crying while pulling the boy.

The boy's face was bruised and purple, and his right eye became a panda, but he still used his thin body to protect the little girl.
"stop."

The old bustard was suddenly reprimanded, glared at Wang Xiu, and shouted with a broken voice, "Who is it?" "Let go of the two children. If you have something to say, you have to beat someone." Stealing my old lady's money, my mouth is so stubborn."

When the old bustard spoke, the little beggar struggled and almost got out of her grasp. She was so angry that she whipped the whip twice again, and the fans beside her screamed frequently.

"Ah, ah! Brother... It hurts, it hurts." The girl's thin and frail body could not withstand the whip of the old bustard, and tears streamed down her face.

"Let go of them, isn't it just a little money, let them take it out, why use a whip to beat people."

Seeing the little girl crying in pain, Wang Xiu's anger at being stolen disappeared, replaced by deep pity.

"It's easy for the officials to say. It looks like a rich kid by looking at the clothes. How do you know that the money in Goulan is not easy to come by."

"I lost a few pennies last time, or this thief stole it." An old woman reprimanded loudly. "Send it to the county Weisi." "Two little kids, just let it go, it's poor."

"Fart, stealing money at such a young age, you're still a gangster when you grow up."

"This group of brats is a group, there seem to be more than a dozen people." At this time, there were also some passers-by nearby, and they began to boo, each explaining their own reasons.

Wang Xiu was in a dilemma. The old bustard seemed vicious and vicious, but what he said made sense. Although the business of selling jokes came in for money, it was also a legitimate business. You can't say that he was a scammer, right?

"Boy, kneel down and kowtow three times to my old lady, take out the money, and forget about it."

"Old villain, don't even think about it."

"The boy who suffered from the plague, you are still stubborn. My mother beat you to death and sold your sister in the courtyard. I see that you are really stubborn."

"Old villain, hit me if you want, what do you care about my sister?"

"Let go of me, how can I give you money if you don't let me go." The boy shouted loudly.The old bustard was thinking about money, so he waved and called, "You thief, why don't you search out the money for me, just stand and watch the joke."

The steward at the side shrank his head and came over to reach out to grab the boy. It just so happened that when the steward reached out, he let go of his hand first.

After the bustard let go of his hand, the boy saw the opportunity, and very sensitively pulled the girl and ran away. "Boy, see if I'm not going to strip you..." The old bustard was fooled, and became angry amidst the laughter of the crowd, chasing after him angrily.

The steward also changed his face, and hurriedly followed to arrest people.

The crowd of onlookers had no place to run, and played a game of hide-and-seek with the bustard in the crowd. The bustard looked very clumsy, and failed to catch the two children a few times, but fell over once, causing the crowd to roar with laughter.

But the girl was weak after all, and she was grabbed by the policeman's arm within a few laps. She screamed in pain, fell to the ground, and was dragged up abruptly by the steward. Seeing the pained look on her little face The appearance makes people feel pity. "Let my sister go." "Boy, run! Why don't you run away?"

The steward sneered. "Let my sister go." The boy stood opposite the bustard, his eyes full of ferocity like a wolf.Wang Xiu's heart moved, and he seemed to want to speak, but he hesitated and held back.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, get out of the way, get out of the way." At this moment, several officials from the county government squeezed into the crowd.

The old bustard immediately shouted: "Two thieves stole my money and are about to capture the official."

A man dressed as a team leader said: "Follow me and go to the county captain to defend myself."

The steward's face changed, and he said with a charming smile: "Jie level, the young one and my wife are people who are responsible, why should we go?"

"Should I talk about it tomorrow, and I will take them away." The squad leader waved his hand contemptuously with an impatient face, and several officials were about to arrest them.

Wang Xiu sighed softly, walked up and said: "It's just a little money, but it made the two children suffer overnight, so it's better to let it go."

The boy looked at Wang Xiu in surprise, moved his lips a few times, wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, the girl looked at Wang Xiu timidly, and lowered her head in shame.

He has been working as a team leader for more than ten years, but he still has good eyesight. Seeing that Wang Xiu is well-dressed and the exam is about to start, he is probably a scholar who is rushing for the exam.At the moment, he took a breath and said: "This official, this is the rule of the yamen. The prisoner and his lover go together, that is, for interrogation."

The old bustard yelled: "My lord, the old woman is a responsible person. If I go here, how much less living money will I earn?"

"It's getting late, take them all back." The team leader got a little impatient.

"Thank you for your kindness, the high official. The small offended high official deserves the crime. The money bag is on the young girl, and the high official can take it back. Going to the yamen is also good. At least there is a straw-covered kang to sleep on." The boy was very stubborn. , The words are definitely no less than adults, and the bitterness and sadness are very strong.

Wang Xiu's nose became sore immediately, and the sockets of her eyes were hot, if she hadn't held back her tears, she would have burst into tears.
