The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 513

[Chapter 513 Who are you?]

The beggar was slightly startled, obviously not understanding what he meant.

Fang Xiu looked at him, took out a few copper coins from his arms, squatted down, waved them in front of him, and said, “I’ll give you the coins, and you answer a few questions. Do you understand?”

It’s not that he didn’t understand. I am willing to give this beggar a banknote, but this is not Kyoto Prefecture. Giving this beggar a banknote will actually harm him. The truth of “the common man is not guilty, but the man with the jade is guilty” needs no further explanation, it will be understood naturally.

The beggar finally understood at this time, nodded hurriedly, and responded: “Sir, just ask, I will definitely tell you everything I know.”

It was obvious that this beggar had read some books, and maybe he had learned a lot about it .

His hometown is also a decent ‘scholar’.

If it hadn’t been for this sudden disaster, Han Chuang might not have been able to obtain academic honors after studying hard for several years, but

now he is reduced to having to beg to make a living, which is really sad.

Fang Xiu just looked at him with a very indifferent look, and repeated the previous question lightly: “When did you get here?”

“Here?”

The beggar was a little confused, and after asking subconsciously, he quickly He quickly added: “The younger one was originally from Shizhou Prefecture. He left his hometown more than a month ago. He arrived at Jinhua Prefecture almost half a month ago, and then arrived here the day before yesterday.

The younger one has been on the road these days. I was confused, and there wasn’t much to eat.

When I was outside the city, I could dig some wild vegetables to eat, but when I entered the city, there was nothing to eat. In fact, I didn’t even know where this place was.”

Maybe it’s true. What he said made the hungry people a little confused, and what he said was incoherent.

After Fang Xiu heard this, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

Did you arrive the day before yesterday?

So

“you”

Fang Xiu looked at him and opened his mouth, wanting to ask something else.

But before he opened his mouth, he heard footsteps coming from behind, followed by an impatient shout: “What are you doing?

Begging is not allowed here. Violators will be fined ten cents. Didn’t anyone tell you!?”

Fang Xiu Hearing this voice, he looked back.

As expected, several Yamen agents in soap clothes were standing in front of him, looking at the beggar with ferocious expressions and threatening him.

When the beggar saw this scene, he had a horrified expression on his face. He knelt down hurriedly, kowtowed, and shouted: “This is my first time here. I don’t know the rules. Please forgive me once. Please spare me.” Just once!”

“There are state laws and family rules. The court has clearly stated that refugees and beggars are prohibited from entering the city. The notice is posted at the entrance of the city gate.

Do you mean that you can let us go this time? Passed!?”

The leader of the police force was a short, stocky young man who looked like someone with a big mouth in a TV series.

Apart from anything else, his appearance almost has the word ‘evil catch’ written on his face.

“This, this, this.”

When the beggar heard this, the expression on his face became even sadder. After all, he couldn’t hold it back and cried out.

At the same time, everyone lay on the ground, hugging the catcher’s thigh, and wailed: “Master, I haven’t eaten anything for two days, and I can’t even make ten cents from my whole body!

You!” Just have a kind heart and spare me this time!

Just think of it as a good deed and spare me this time. I will never dare to do it again.”

The policeman didn’t kick him and let him go. Holding his thighs, he kept wailing.

Judging from his expression, he seems to be enjoying the process. He is really basing his own happiness on the pain of others.

When the beggar’s wailing voice became hoarse, he said: “This is the rule of the court. If I let you go, I will be the unlucky one.

Who told you that you didn’t have eyes and came here to beg and didn’t see our Du Ming?” Isn’t there a single beggar on the road?”

“But I don’t have ten cents in my body!”

The beggar seemed to have recognized the reality and no longer cried or whined. He just said this.

The policeman seemed to have thought of a countermeasure in advance.

As soon as the beggar finished speaking, he said: “This is easy to handle. Our Lord Magistrate is a kind man, and we can’t see people like you enduring prison for no reason. I

‘ll give you a chance and help you find a job outside the city. Let’s You work, and when you earn ten cents, you can pay the fine and leave. “

“This”

if others heard this, they would be extremely surprised.

Is there such a good thing happening in this world?

Immediately afterwards, there was a rush to get there.

But this beggar had read a book and had lived all the way from Shizhou Mansion on the east coast of the Central Plains. He had sophisticated people and a harsh world. What had he not seen before?

Naturally, we know that pie will not fall from the sky.

It’s a disaster year, and it’s extremely difficult for countless people like him who are fleeing to find a way to make a living.

Even for a person like him who has read books, he can’t find a job as a waiter serving tea and delivering books.

The agent actually wanted to help find a job, but thinking about it, it seemed unrealistic.

“Master, please be accommodating. If you are a little kid, go find a job. Within three days, you must pay the fine. If you are a big kid, you must pay double the fine!”

The beggar knelt on the ground and looked up at the policeman. He spoke.

After the policeman heard this, his expression changed. He snorted coldly and said disdainfully: “I’m giving you face, isn’t it?

To tell you the truth, today, no matter what, you have to come with me!

Don’t Damn, who told you to break the court’s rules?

Let’s go!”

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to pull the beggar up.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from the side: “Stop!”

“Huh? Good guy, you are really nosy.”

The policeman obviously didn’t expect that someone would stop him, and he turned his head with a look of surprise on his face. , but only saw a delicate woman.

Of course it’s Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan looked at the policeman coldly and asked: “Let me ask you, when did the court have a rule that ‘beggars and refugees are not allowed to enter the city’?”

The policeman looked at Zhao Yan and saw that her clothes were not Hua Gui suddenly felt a little more confident.

But

such a woman, regardless of her clothes, just her temperament, gave people an extraordinary feeling. To be on the safe side, just in case she was a young lady raised in a boudoir by a certain aristocratic family

, the policeman still asked: “Who are you?”

Zhao Yan did not answer, but said coldly: “Who I am has nothing to do with you. I just want to ask you, when did the court have a rule that ‘beggars and refugees are not allowed to enter the city’? Why haven’t I heard of it?

” Hearing this, he snorted coldly and said, “Who are you? The court has set the rules, why should I report them to you?”
