Eighth Ye's Savage Concubine

Chapter 426 Just a Paper Tiger
Looking up at the two men with their backs turned to them, Bai Jinchu couldn't help but feel happy.

He brought Yuan Hua here today, thinking that he might be able to hear some useful news in such a place where people talk a lot.

But they never expected that their luck would be so good that they would run into a local official here.

"Hmph, what are you afraid of? That so-called virtuous king is nothing more than a paper tiger. I heard that he is disabled, and a person who can't even walk can threaten us?"

"Yes, yes, the magistrate is very right, it's the lower officials who are worrying too much."

"Let me tell you, the one who came this time is considered to be the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, as long as he dares to destroy my good deeds, I will let him go without returning!"

The magistrate's voice was ruthless.

Yuan Hua also listened to their words. She turned her head and glanced at Bai Jinchu, but saw him smile faintly, as if he didn't take such a threat to heart.

They sat in Zuiyuxuan for a long time, until the two men left, Bai Jinchu stood up slowly, and put a silver ingot on the wooden table.

"Let's go."

"Ah."

Responding lightly, Yuan Hua left with Bai Jinchu.

The old bustard came to the seats where they were sitting just now, and weighed the money in his hands: "Hey, what a few weirdos."

……

The next day, at dawn, Yuan Hua got up and went downstairs, and sat face to face with Bai Jinchu for breakfast.

As soon as Bai Jinchu finished eating a steamed bun, he raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Hua: "Let's go for a walk in a while to get familiar with the terrain and streets here."

"it is good!"

Yuan Hua responded readily, and then continued to bury her head in eating the porridge in the bowl.

After filling her stomach, she took Xi'er out of the inn first.

However, when she just arrived at the entrance of the inn, she suddenly froze.

The street outside the inn is very narrow, and beggars can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road.

Her eyes swept over those beggars one by one, and her pupils flickered slightly.

There is no shortage of beggars in every town.

When they arrived here yesterday, it was already night, so they didn't see any beggars.

But now, wherever her eyes pass, there are beggars, the number of which is several times that of other towns.

They are ragged, squatting, or sitting on the side of the road, with gray-brown despair in their eyes.

When Bai Jinchu walked out of the inn with Lei Yu, he happened to see Yuan Hua standing at the door of the inn in a daze.

He followed Yuan Hua's gaze and patted her on the shoulder lightly.

"Don't look, let's go."

"Ah."

Looking away from those beggars, Yuan Hua just turned around when a loud shout came from behind: "Go away!"

As that voice came, there was a cry behind him.

"Uuuuu, mother..."

Yuan Hua turned her head following the sound, only to see a man kicking a child.

The child was dressed in rags and had dirt all over his face.

He fell to the ground in embarrassment, wiping tears back and forth with his hands.

The woman sitting beside him hugged him distressingly and held him in her arms.

She raised her head to meet the man's eyes, and her eyes were full of pleading: "Officer, please stop beating, the child is still young, and I can't stand you kicking and beating like this."

"If you don't hit him, then I'll hit you." The man shouted, and kicked the woman's leg: "Get out, don't beg here, if the prince from the imperial city sees it, I will still be a magistrate!" Inappropriate?"
