Chapter 101 The Old Beggar

Chapter 101 The Old Beggar
The sudden stinging pain instantly awakened the old beggar from his dream.

When he opened his eyes and saw the broken bowl in front of him, the old beggar's eyes were red. This is the only thing that happens to eat.He even had a fight with two wild dogs for the broken bowl, and it took a lot of effort to grab it.

The baby was destroyed, coupled with the resentment of being awakened, the beggar didn't care about 21, and opened his mouth to scold his mother directly:
"His grandma's, it's the dog hozen who broke the old man's business, see if I..."

Just halfway through the conversation, the old beggar couldn't continue because he had noticed Yu Wenjie and others not far away.

I saw Huzi holding the handle of the knife with one hand and staring at him with malicious intent.

"Curse? Why don't you continue to scold, I want to hear what kind of feces you can spit out of your bastard's mouth."

Even though the old beggar kept his mouth shut, Huzi didn't intend to let him go.

The work of patrolling the streets is very boring. For these patrolmen, the only pleasure on weekdays is to bully these humble poor people.

These people have no power and power, their lives are thinner than paper, even if they are bullied, they will not fight back.

After patrolling for a long time, I didn't see any shadow of 20 taels of gold, so I just took out my anger on this old boy.

Thinking in this way, Huzi walked up quickly and kicked the old beggar's calf.The dull sound of the soles colliding with the leg bones is painful just to listen to it.

"Ouch!"

The old beggar suffered such a kick, and immediately fell to his knees on the ground in pain.Covering his calf with one hand, his old face was distorted like a decaying chrysanthemum.

But even so, the old beggar didn't dare to scream too loudly, instead he bent his body and kept kowtowing to the tiger.

"Master, please forgive me, the villain has a cheap mouth, just treat it like a fart..."

The old beggar's forehead was pounding and thumping, and some blood even stained the thin white hair on his forehead red.

The area around the Earth Temple is not considered a remote place, but none of the passers-by dared to step forward to meddle in this matter.

The left and right are just a disgusting beggar, who will die in the stinky ditch someday, why bother to make him unhappy.

Yu Wenjie was well aware of Huzi's little move, but he just frowned slightly and didn't say much.

But now, looking at the old beggar kneeling and kowtowing, Yu Wenjie suddenly had a flash of light in his heart.

Immediately, he stepped forward quickly, pulled away the still aggressive Hu Zi, and scolded in a low voice with a sullen face:

"That's enough Huzi, do you think he's not miserable enough?"

"Uh, good boss."

Seeing Yu Wenjie's uneasy expression, Hu Zi quickly restrained his arrogant expression, and stepped aside respectfully.

"Thank you so much, thank you so much."

The old beggar breathed a sigh of relief when he saw another poor man rescued him, but he didn't dare to look up at the moment.Just change the direction of prostration and kowtow to Yu Wenjie.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, I ask you a question, and you have to answer it truthfully."

Yu Wenjie squatted down, resisting the stench emanating from the old beggar, and spoke slowly.

Hearing this, the old beggar couldn't help shivering, raised his head and said:
"Master, just ask, I will know everything about the villain..."

"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask you, are there a lot of people who fled from Youzhou among the beggars in Hexi City recently?"

Yu Wenjie pretended to look around casually, and his voice was also deliberately lowered.

"Ah? Youzhou?"

The old beggar was at a loss when he heard the words. He had spent his whole life wandering around Hexi City, so he had never heard of such a distant place name.

"Yes, Youzhou, have you heard of it?"

Seeing this, Yu Wenjie stared with some dissatisfaction. Just this inconspicuous move suddenly scared the old beggar to the ground trembling.

"No, I haven't heard of it. Most of the beggars in Hexi City are from Huazhou. I haven't heard of any Youzhou beggars entering the city recently!"

"Really not?"

"Really... really not!"

Seeing the old beggar's convincing appearance, Yu Wenjie stood up thoughtfully, turned his head and shouted to the patrolman behind him:
"Come on, let's go to the dental shop in the west of the city to have a look."

"Boss, why do we go to the dental store all the time? The good products there are only a few coins in our pockets and we can't afford them."

Hearing Yu Wenjie's arrangement, all the patrolmen were a little puzzled. The west of the city is not close to Huaishufang, and it would take more than half an hour to walk there.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll take you to earn 20 taels of gold, so you won't have to worry about it all the time."

Hearing "20 taels of gold", the eyes of several people instantly lit up, and the old beggar, who was still whispering, followed Yu Wenjie with excitement, and walked quickly towards the west of the city.

Looking at the guards who were far away, the old beggar slowly straightened up and cleaned up the broken bowl fragments on the ground with tears on his face.

……

In a dilapidated compound in the west of the city, hundreds of impoverished people with their hands and feet bound were sitting on the ground.

This compound is where the tooth shop is located. At this moment, there are quite a few well-dressed stewards, who are obviously the stewards of rich families, selecting people in the courtyard.

These people came in and out, and many of them spent a lot of money to buy dozens of servants.

"Damn it, these big households are really rich, and they bought so much at once."

Now, Yu Wenjie and his party have also arrived here.Looking at the bustling scene outside the courtyard, Huzi couldn't help but whispered a little jealously.

A grey-haired patrol next to Huzi couldn't help joking when he heard this:
"Hey, are you envious? You can also buy one as a daughter-in-law if you are envious. Didn't the guy named Zhao say that it's cheap now? After passing this village, there will be no such shop."

"I really want to, but my pocket is cleaner than my face, why don't you show mercy, brother Li, and lend me some money?"

"Get lost! I have no money."

……

Ignoring the frolicking of the few people behind him, Yu Wenjie looked at the crowd coming in and out, and the speculation in his heart deepened a bit.

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Wenjie waved back and said in a serious tone:

"Come on, let me go in and have a look. Be smart, don't say what you shouldn't, and come out immediately if the situation is wrong."

"I know boss!"

……

Several people turned out from the alley with simple knives and walked straight towards the compound where the dental shop is located.

The guards guarding the gate before breaking the courtyard keenly sensed that something was wrong, and quickly folded into the courtyard before everyone entered.

Not long after, a round middle-aged man wearing a purple leather cap came out following the guards just now.

After learning about the situation from the guards in a low voice, the middle-aged man squinted a pair of small mung bean eyes, and carefully looked at Yu Wenjie and others.

As soon as he approached, Yu Wenjie immediately clasped his fists casually, and reported to himself:
"A certain Hexi yamen is on patrol, and under the order of the county yamen master, he came here to check whether the recent 'books' are complete. Everyone, can you help me?"

Although Dayan Kingdom allows the establishment of dental shops, all people trafficked must be endorsed by government documents, and the punishment for private trading is very severe.

But even so, there are still some private transactions in various places, both openly and secretly. The reason for this is nothing but because the oil and water are really rich.

The government has always severely cracked down on such behavior.Yu Wenjie used this as an excuse to come to the door, which makes sense.

"Oh, I don't know why the wind brought you here. It turned out that the poor man came to the door for this purpose. Sixth son, take out all the documents in the house, and give the poor man a good demonstration."

The middle-aged man looked very calm when he heard the purpose of the visit.He stroked the mustache around his mouth, casually ordered a guard to fetch something, and immediately stretched out his hand to move into the house, and said loudly:
"Please come in, the paperwork is absolutely complete."

Yu Wenjie was not polite about this, and strode directly into the courtyard.
