Chapter 81 The old beggar

Hearing Shitou's muttering, Li Dongyang grabbed Shitou's shoulder and asked curiously, "Why is it a broken arm and not a broken leg?"

"A broken hand can still walk, and he can walk out to seek medical treatment by himself, but a broken leg can't, it's not easy for us to find out." Shitou said seriously.

"Smart!" Li Dongyang convinced, Shitou rubbed his head and smiled innocently.But he didn't know that it was impossible for Xiao Hong to break his hand, because Xiao Hong's real name was not Xiao Hong, and there were times when the crow's mouth was useless.

Li Dongyang walked through the crowd, looking at the beggars on both sides from time to time. These beggars were men, women, old and young. They all had one characteristic, that is, they had dirty faces and tattered clothes.

No matter they are young or old, they all hold a dog-beating stick in their hands. The sticks have different thicknesses and shapes, but they have similar functions, that is, to prevent vicious dogs from hurting themselves.

While looking at it, a little beggar approached, shaking the broken bowl in his hand. The little beggar was thin, his eyes were dull, and there were bruises and bruises on his outstretched arms.

"My lord, have pity on the poor boy, can you give me something to eat?"

Li Dongyang watched the little beggar approach, and frowned slightly. He remembered that there were such little beggars in his previous life. They were all controlled by others to beg, and the money they got was divided up by others. He didn't get a cent, and he even ate his stomach Not full.

Presumably the situation of this person in front of him is similar, Li Dongyang touched his money bag, stopped there with the hand that took out the money, and said to Shitou, "Go and buy some buns."

"Yes." Shitou responded readily, turned around and ran to the bun shop on the side of the road, bought several buns and ran back quickly, Li Dongyang took the buns and handed them to the little beggar.

The little beggar thanked him again and again, and the beggars next to him immediately surrounded him when they saw a benevolent person appearing. Mo Zhu didn't like it, so he quickly stood in front of Li Dongyang and chased him away with both hands.

"My lord, you poor little one, I haven't eaten for three days."

"Well-meaning young master, enjoy the meal."

Everyone was very pitiful, Mo Zhu couldn't catch up, so he could only stand in front of Li Dongyang to keep people from approaching, and the guards behind him also hurried forward to stop them, for fear that they would hurt Li Dongyang.

Shi Shi whispered: "Master, these people are so pitiful, can you buy them some more food?"

"Well, let's go." Li Dongyang responded, but felt a little pity for these people. This is the most prosperous city in Longyuan Kingdom under the foot of the emperor. Behind this prosperity are these poor homeless people.

Stone bought a few baskets of steamed buns and placed them on the side of the road, letting the beggars line up to get them. Li Dongyang chatted with an old beggar whose eyes were not as numb as others.

"Old man, how did you live on the street? Don't you have any family?"

"Hey, it's a long story." The old beggar sighed, looked at the void, but caught the bun Li Dongyang handed over with his hand, sighed again, and then continued to talk.

"I think that although the little old man was not considered a big man in Longcheng back then, he still had three shops." As he spoke, the old beggar stretched out three fingers, with a wry smile on his face.

"Alas, it's a pity that the little old man has no way to teach his children. There is a seedling in the fertile land thousands of miles away. He was spoiled too much since he was a child. When the child grows up, he is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. The three shops changed hands in a blink of an eye. The child still does not know how to repent, and finally died. Two places."

Speaking of this, the old beggar's eyes became even redder. Li Dongyang didn't make an expression after hearing this. It's really too many such things, so it's not surprising.

"The old woman couldn't bear the blow and became sick, but the old man was still struggling." The old beggar bowed his head, two lines of dirty tears streaming down his face, but he stuffed the bun in his hand into his mouth and bit down hard. .

While weeping, he ate the steamed stuffed bun viciously. Rather than eating the steamed stuffed bun, it was better to say he was biting the flesh and blood of his enemy. This old man was probably unwilling and wanted to take revenge on those who ruined his family.

"Your son has no money, why does the gambling house let him gamble?" Li Dongyang asked, the old man didn't respond, and continued to eat the buns.

"What an ignorant old beggar, didn't you hear my young master's question?" Mo Zhu shouted, his face was full of contempt, as if looking at him would dirty his eyes.

The old beggar trembled, and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy. Li Dongyang glanced at Mo Zhu, and regretted taking these people to the street. In fact, it was better to bring only stones, because the stones kept their duty and didn't talk too much, so they did what they were asked to do.

"Mo Zhu, now you take someone to the brothel gambling house to search for Xiao Hong." Li Dongyang said, since he felt uncomfortable, he drove away, mainly because he was suspicious of the people around him.

Li Dongyang didn't believe Xie's safety and security, he was afraid that he was planning to kill him, before he could send people to hunt him down, but now he dare not kill him openly, there must be some secret tricks, but he doesn't know who will be sent.

Mo Zhu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have crossed the line, but what was there to talk about with this old beggar, Mo Zhu couldn't figure it out, so he had to surrender and lead his guards and followers to find him.

So Li Dongyang was quiet all of a sudden, Li Dongyang looked at the old beggar and said: "I want to find someone, if you can help me find someone, I can do something for you."

"Why are you looking for an old man?" the old beggar asked, looking at Li Dongyang silently.

Hehe, Li Dongyang smiled lightly, glanced at those beggars with numb eyes, and said: "Because you are different from them, they are already numb, and their pursuit of life is to have a full meal, but you are different, your eyes And desire."

The old beggar didn't answer, but continued to bite the bun in his hand, his head was lowered, his eyes were full of thoughts, after a long time, the old beggar raised his head, his eyes became firm.

"Young master can use me if you want, even if you put your life on the line, you will help him to complete it, but you have to promise the old man one thing."

"Okay." Li Dongyang replied.

"Young master, don't you ask who the other party is and what identity? Could it be that you are lying to the little old man by answering so readily?"

Li Dongyang responded quickly, but the old beggar became suspicious instead. Li Dongyang raised his eyebrows when he said this, looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back, and said lightly:
"My son is the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo. You don't have to worship the emperor when you see the emperor. Do you think I have the ability to do something for you?"

"Yes!" The old beggar came to his senses and said hastily: "Young master, the old man's enemy is the owner of Lilai Casino. The old man has nothing else to ask for in his life, but the owner's family is destroyed."

Li Dongyang raised his eyebrows, Lilai Casino?Soon the old beggar shared all the grievances and grievances between his family and Lilai Casino. It turned out that although the old beggar's son was fond of gambling, he was not obsessed with it.

It's all because the boss took a fancy to his shop, so he made a move, and caused his son to lose all his family property overnight. That's not to say, the boss killed them all, and forced the old beggar's family to live on the streets.
