"Captain Lei, where did you get the child?"
Zhang Aotian is only ten years old. When he was a child, his family was poor and his foundation was weak. Now his body is much thinner than that of rich children of the same age, and he looks only seven or eight years old.
Standing in the corridor of Pickpockets, the surrounding stone walls were very cold. The child was shivering from the cold, and was surrounded by pickpockets.
Everyone looked at Lei Peng with something strange in their eyes.
Are you too crazy?
There is no age limit for pickpockets in Jiyao Yamen, but if you get a kid who can't lift a butcher's knife, let alone kill monsters, he will be frozen to death by the yin energy of the pickpocket in one night. It is simply a crime and a waste of human life.
Lieutenant Lei said expressionlessly:
"This kid is Ma Liu's illegitimate son. He ran away and asked his son to pay off the debt."
"..."
Everyone was stunned.
When he looked at Zhang Aotian again, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were somewhat similar to those of Lao Liu.
Then everyone showed pity for the child.
Lao Liu is a top-notch evil star. He killed his wife, children, and parents before joining Papis. Later, several pickpockets he befriended, including Wang Goudan, Lao Liu, and Lao Zhou, were all robbed, and none of them died. of.
In other words, Fourth Master Xiao's life was strong enough, his strength was high enough, he had frequent contacts with Lao Liu, and they had ten years of comradeship, so he could suppress the evil spirits without any trouble.
"Look, the sixth man is going to harm someone again."
Zhang Aotian was not yet an adult, but he was forced into the skin-picking department by Ma Liu. He was about to die soon, and the evil star was really not a joke.
"Captain Lei, where are you going to place this kid? Isn't it in Grill No. 10?"
"It will be arranged on the 10th. I don't think he will come back in six weeks."
In these days when Lao Liu is away, Lei Peng Tanmo's demonic parts are greatly reduced.
Not everyone is as clever as Ma Liu and has the courage to join in his evil deeds.
The pickpockets at the bottom of the ranking don't dare to mess around, and the pickpockets at the top, like Mr. Xiao, don't need to please him.
Lieutenant Lei felt miserable, but he couldn't say it.
Of course, he didn't really want to do anything to the child.
One is to force out horse six.
Second, when he went to find Ma Liu, he found that the bookstore was being followed by retainers from the Xu family, who looked unkindly towards the child.
On the surface, Lei Peng took out his anger on the child, but in fact, he took Zhang Aotian back to the skin-picking department for protection.
Everyone didn’t know what was going on, but one pickpocket looked unbearable and said:
"Captain Lei, this child is still young and thin. I'm afraid he is not the material to kill monsters. Why don't we give him a two-year reprieve first?"
"Ma Liu is a pretty good person. You have been friends with Captain Lei for many years. Why bother a child?"
"If you come out to hang out in the world, it will not bring harm to your wife, children and family..."
"Um?"
While everyone was trying to persuade them, their words were a bit harsh, which made Lei Peng's face tighten and he said coldly:
"I don't need you to tell me how to arrange pickpockets. That's my right. If you dare to talk nonsense, if it falls into my hands one day, don't blame me, Lei Peng, for being unkind."
The pickpockets remained silent.
In this Papi Division, Lei Peng is the emperor, whoever wants to live will live and whoever wants to die will die.
Remove...
"Before Ma Liu comes back, this kid is with me."
Fourth Master Xiao did not make a sound from the beginning to the end, but just watched quietly. At this moment, Jinchou opened his mouth in a tone that did not allow for any refutation.
"..." Lei Peng took a breath and said with a red face: "Fourth Master, you..."
Just when he wanted to express his opinion, he saw Fourth Master Xiao holding the child and turning away, leaving only the back of Lei Peng's head.
The pickpockets lowered their heads and made eye contact with each other, some gloating about their misfortune, which made Lei Peng feel embarrassed and roared loudly:
"Whatever you are looking at, I will give it away!"
Everyone dispersed in a hurry.
…
Steakhouse No. 4.
There is no snake god judge on the stone wall, nor are there any pictures of the underworld, but are covered with golden symbols, which are mysterious and unpredictable, and have the power to suppress ghosts and gods.
Zhang Aotian looked around curiously, nervous and curious, knowing that this middle-aged uncle had a good relationship with Master Liu and would not harm him.
"Take it."
Fourth Master Xiao took out a fire bead from the bedroom, which was the size of an egg. As soon as Zhang Aotian took it, he felt the coldness dissipate and his whole body felt extremely warm.
"Thank you uncle."
The child politely held up his hands and thanked him, and asked a little aggrievedly:
"I've met Uncle Lei Peng before. He has a good relationship with Mr. Liu and is very kind to me. How could..."
It's embarrassing for me, a little kid.
Zhang Aotian stopped talking midway through his words.
Fourth Master Xiao explained:
"He's just angry that your sixth master didn't come back to slay the demons, and he missed the benefits. He also misunderstood that you were his illegitimate son. Don't think too much about it."
After the miracle doctor Lao Liu left, Ma Liu's only close friends were Lao Zhou and Mr. Xiao. They had nothing to do to brag and chat, and naturally they couldn't help mentioning Zhang Aotian, thinking that this child could become a talent.
In this life, people have limited time and limited energy. It is impossible to try every industry and experience all kinds of life.
If you have unfinished ambitions, most people will take on a disciple, choose a master, or give birth to a child. Through training, support, help, etc., you will place your hopes on them to complete your unfinished ambitions on your behalf.
Ma Liu helped Zhang Aotian because he wanted to have a backer in the officialdom.
More importantly, I still want to fulfill my dream of a career.
After all, in his previous life, he was just an ordinary person with no background and no backing. It was completely wishful thinking to achieve something in his official career.
Now that I have traveled through time, I want Zhang Aotian to kick open the door of officialdom and see what it is like inside.
And Fourth Master Xiao, who was only one step away from the throne back then, retreated bravely at the critical moment of seizing the throne, and came to the Papi Division alone, so why didn't he have unfulfilled ambitions?
"I heard from Ma Liu that your dream is to be an official?"
"Yeah." Zhang Aotian nodded softly.
"Being an official is not as simple as you think."
Fourth Master Xiao scooped a bowl of spiritual spring for the child and said:
"It is already cruel to live in the rivers and lakes with swords and swords, and you will die if you are not careful. The intrigues in the officialdom are a thousand times more cruel than living in the rivers and lakes. If you want to climb up and occupy a high position, you need to abandon your conscience and regard all people as cud. Dog, why do you plead for the people and seek justice? This is all a fantasy. You will take the scientific examination in two years, are you ready to become an official?"
"……No."
Zhang Aotian answered honestly, feeling that being an official was very complicated and completely different from what he thought.
He had always simply thought that becoming an official would give him prestige. Like those officials, he would eat, drink, and act arrogantly, and be cool every day, but he didn't know that there was so much truth behind the prestige.
Master Liu had never told him these truths.
Ma Liu had no experience in being an official, and none of the three thousand demons could sneak into a high position, so naturally he couldn't explain the profound way to be an official.
Zhang Aotian took the spirit spring, raised his head and drank it all. He suddenly felt refreshed and the pores all over his body were relaxing.
Fourth Master Xiao said:
"You can come to Bapisi and meet me. The two of us are destined to have a relationship. Tomorrow, you can go home and bring the books and stay here for the time being."
"I'm just afraid that Uncle Lei Peng won't let me go out."
"It doesn't matter. If you tell me to go back and get the book, he will go with you."
