All I heard was that the turtle thugs from the brothel were shouting and cursing on the spot.
Moreover, they not only yelled and cursed, but also punched and kicked them. They looked so arrogant and domineering that they were even more dandy than dandy.
On the other side, these beggars were still standing in a circle, allowing the turtle thugs from the brothel to beat and scold them.
Although these beggars were badly beaten and their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, for some reason they gritted their teeth and endured without moving...
They just used their bodies to form a human wall to block the outside, as if they were protecting someone in the circle with their lives.
"…………"
While the two sides were arguing, they did not notice the appearance of He Shen and other officials in official uniforms.
Seeing this scene, He Shen frowned again. He looked up at the sky and saw that it was not too late. Then he ordered the officials around him: "Let the leaders on both sides of them come here to see me." !”
These sixth- and seventh-grade officials and minor officials did not dare to neglect after hearing He Shen's instructions. After saying hello, they went to lead the people.
Facing these sixth- and seventh-grade officials in official uniforms, whether they were the turtle thugs in the brothel or the beggars, they all decisively gave in.
You know, the people don't fight with the officials, let alone a group of officials.
Under the shouts of these officials, representatives from both sides came over.
The representative of the beggars was an old beggar, holding a little girl in her early ten years with her left hand.
On the side of Turtle King's thugs, there was a scarred-faced man covered in muscles.
…………
This way!
When He Shen saw the leaders of both parties approaching him, He Shen did not ask whose fault it was.
He just looked at both sides for a few times and then said in a cold voice: "This is the capital, a place of good deeds, and the emperor's feet. Who gave you the courage to make trouble in the capital?"
"…………"
The leader of the brothel Gui Gong was about to say something when he heard He Shen's words to pressure him...
However, after seeing the fifth-grade official uniform on He Shen, the scarred man was immediately frightened. His face turned pale, he screamed, and he couldn't say a word for a long time...
At the same time, the old beggar suddenly knelt down in front of He Shen, crying and shouting.
"Master Qingtian, you must make the decision for us beggars!"
The old beggar man cried very miserably, but He Shen was not moved at all.
Most of Heshen's energy is only directed at the leader of the brothel Turtle Gong, that is, the scar-faced man...
Under He Shen's cold gaze, the scarred-faced man changed his previous arrogance and domineering attitude. He stammered and hurriedly explained.
"I hope you will forgive me. These stinky beggars are really shameless. After selling a "thing" to us, they took it back again."
"This time, we are trying to get that "thing" back. We do not mean to offend. Please forgive me, Sir..."
"…………"
"Oh? The beggar robbed the brothel?"
"Hahahaha, this is really an anecdote for the ages..."
He Shen burst out laughing when he heard this, his words were extremely sarcastic.
Although not all beggars are good people, there should be no fools among beggars...
How dare a group of beggars take the initiative to offend someone who can open a brothel in the capital...
"…………"
Seeing the scar-faced man talking about him, the sneer on He Shen's face became more intense, and he then asked.
"I didn't know these beggars were so promising that they could rob your brothel..."
"Tell me, what did they steal from you?"
However, after hearing He Shen's clear inquiry, the scarred man looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time without answering.
"…………"
As for the old beggar, he still couldn't stop crying and talking nonsense. He just cried and shouted, begging He Shen to make the decision.
For a moment, none of the two people answered He Shen's question.
In He Shen's heart, he gradually became impatient. Just when he was about to get angry, a childish girl's voice came clearly.
"…………"
"Sir, what these people are talking about is Yu'er, I am that thing."
Shangguan Yu'er, a girl who was just ten years old, said politely and without any stage fright after bowing.
Shangguan Yu'er has exquisite facial features. Under her thin willow eyebrows, there is a pair of indifferent black pupils, and the depths of her eyes are full of innocence.
Even though she is wearing shabby clothes and her body has not yet grown, Shangguan Yu'er's appearance and temperament are far beyond those of ordinary adult women.
…………
This kind of appearance, temperament, and lolita-like figure are indeed rare and valuable goods in the eyes of the people in the brothel.
"…………"
The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.
In the Qing Dynasty, there was a group of people who held high positions, possessed power and wealth, and were regarded as superiors by everyone.
However, as these people get older, they gradually feel the weakness of their bodies and the passage of life, and their hearts gradually become distorted.
These people, when their bodies were extremely weak, did not like mature beauties. Instead, they developed a special fetish for the immature bodies of young girls.
Many disgusting and even horrific things happened like this.
He Shen has heard of such things from time to time in the past few years.
"..."
As the split soul of Demon Ancestor, He Shen is by no means a perfect good person, but he is not a pure evil person either.
Some things, due to timing and his own strength, He Shen will not be able to be a great saint and help the world.
However, this does not mean that after seeing these things with his own eyes, He Shen will ignore them as a matter of course, as if he has not seen them at all.
Thinking of the little girls who were no more than ten years old and had been caught by brothels over the years, He Shen's eyes burned with blazing fire.
"…………"
At this moment, He Shen already had a decision in his heart.
After he pondered for a moment, he suddenly stretched out his finger, pointed at Shangguan Yu'er, and questioned the scar-faced man.
"You just said that this little girl is from your brothel, right?"
"You are the first person in thousands of years to call people things. You are so brave..."
"..."
The leader of the Gui Gong brothel is a scar-faced man named Yu Peng.
Don't look at the arrogant and domineering look he had when he faced the beggar just now.
But when he saw He Shen in official uniform and thought of the power in He Shen's hands, he immediately gave up.
If He Shen is offended, as a low-level person, even if he is beaten to death, the master behind him may not be able to make the decision for him.
But now, He Shen's attitude in his words was obviously biased towards those beggars, and Yu Peng's heart was pounding at this moment.
He felt that he might not be able to get away with this trip.
When he thought of this, Yu Peng felt panicked to the extreme.
"…………"
However, for the task assigned by his boss, Yu Peng could only bite the bullet and replied with an apologetic smile.
"You are wrong, this little girl is not a thing, she is a person."
"But this little girl was bought by our brothel for thirty taels of silver yesterday, and the deed of sale was signed."
"Unexpectedly, I gave the money to this little girl, but it was robbed by these beggars again!"
"In the face of this situation, young roughnecks got excited and acted impulsively. They made mischief in front of the restaurant and broke the rules in Beijing. This is our fault. Sir, please bear with me... …”
"As long as you let us take this little girl back today, we will definitely return the favor tomorrow at the latest."
After hearing what Yu Peng said, He Shen couldn't comment or say a word, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
But his attitude made the scar-faced man Yu Peng's heart instantly hit rock bottom...
Because this attitudeless attitude has made his position clearer.
Ignoring the scar-faced man Yu Peng again, He Shen turned to look at the old beggar who was still kneeling on the ground crying and asked.
"Old man, what others say is reasonable and well-founded. What do you think it is?"
Although the old beggar is not too smart, he also knows that at this time, he should defend himself, otherwise the ending will definitely not be good...
After coughing, the old beggar quickly stood up, took He Shen's hand and said.
"Lord Qingtian! This is definitely not the case. These beasts are confusing right and wrong!"
The old beggar finally stopped crying in vain, and used his hands and mouth to explain the cause and consequences of this matter to Heshen intermittently.
The old beggar's words had a strong northwest dialect. He Shen was confused when he heard it. After listening patiently for a long time, he finally understood it all.
…………
The old beggar's name is Shangguan Yunsheng and he comes from Shaanxi Province.
The reason why he came to the capital all the way was because there was a drought in Shaanxi Province, and there was no harvest. He could no longer survive in his hometown, so he had to come to the capital to make a living.
And Shangguan Yu'er, this beautiful woman, is his granddaughter.
These beggars around are also from Shaanxi Province!
"…………"
Shaanxi Province has suffered from drought for nearly two years, coupled with oppression and exploitation by corrupt local officials, many families have been displaced as a result.
Shangguan Yunsheng and Shangguan Yu'er, the grandfather and grandson, lost their families because of this.
In order to get a bite of food, these people from Shaanxi Province traveled thousands of miles and traveled across mountains and rivers to the capital.
The group of people who were traveling together thought that Shangguan Yu'er would be a drag, but they never expected that Shangguan Yu'er was very ingenious and made grass butterflies, grass kites, straw sandals and other small objects weaved from withered grass very popular.
And these Shaanxi compatriots, on their way to Beijing, relied on Shangguan Yu'er's skillful hands and earned copper coins to survive by eating cornstarch.
However, there are villains with no conscience everywhere, and among these people, there is no exception.
