At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

The craftsman was beaten by a burly man and became so angry that he took out a shovel from his arms and hit the man's head twice.

"Hey, hey, hey, how can you use a shovel?" Ren Hao immediately shouted to stop them, but his voice was completely drowned out by the shouting on the ring.

Since the craftsman used a weapon without moral integrity, the other people on the ring naturally became dissatisfied and took out weapons from their arms or sleeves.

What was originally a fist-and-kick contest instantly turned into an armed fight.

Some people's boxing skills are not strong, but with the help of weapons, they instantly become invincible.

"Haha, they are really interesting." Li Shiji suddenly laughed and clapped his hands. He was originally dozing off due to lack of interest, but now he was not sleepy at all.

Seeing such a chaotic scene, Liang Hao, who was standing next to him, snorted softly, "It's really like a dog biting a dog.

When the three incense sticks burned out, the only person still standing on the stage was a young man with a childish face but firm eyes.

This young man was none other than the little beggar who had been the first to jump onto the ring.

The torn shirt on his body had already been stained red, and it was hard to tell whether it was his own or left by someone else.

This……

Not only Ren Hao was surprised, but everyone was surprised that the final victory was snatched away by an unknown little beggar.

"The second round of competition is over."

Following Cai Lun's announcement, the little beggar walked down from the stage.

He looked directly at Ren Hao and asked, "Now that I've won, I can become your retainer, right?"

Ren Hao wanted to refuse, but seeing the little beggar's determined eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse and nodded: "Yes, you will be my guest from now on."

"Shi Huan, you're scaring me to death..."

Suddenly, a woman with a crutch ran out from the crowd, hugged the boy in her arms and started crying.

"Mom, I... I'm fine. I'm now a guest of the mansion. We won't have to go hungry anymore, and we won't have to worry about being bullied."

After Shi Huan finished speaking with tears of joy, Ren Hao ordered Cai Lun to send everyone to the hospital and cancelled the next round of competition.

After all, the second round of competition had gone beyond the scope and even weapons were used.

"Then how do they arrange it?" Cai Lun pointed at Shi Huan and his mother. Before Ren Hao could speak to make arrangements, a team of imperial guards came towards them in a show of force.

Ren Hao originally thought that this team of imperial guards was sent by Wen Yan to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that they came for the mother and son.

"You two mother and daughter are really hard for me to find. Capture them both for me." The middle-aged captain in the lead pointed at the mother and son of the Shi family.

The imperial guards following him immediately used the long spears in their hands to restrain the mother and son of the Shi family in a crossed formation.

This arrogant commander was none other than Zhang Juzhi, the right commander of the East Gate.

"Captain Zhang, what crime have they committed? You must arrest them." Ren Hao stepped forward to stop them.

Captain Zhang glanced at the injured people in the arena. It was a serious crime to recruit followers in private competition.

He immediately said to Ren Hao: "Master Ren, you'd better stop meddling in other people's business, or I'll take you away too!!!"

Ren Hao was not afraid at all. He pointed at Shi Huan and said, "How am I meddling in other people's business? This young man is already a guest in my house. You just took him away without even giving me a reason. Aren't you showing me disrespect?"

"They, mother and son, disregarded the capital's ban and dared to climb over the wall to beg for many days, which is a serious crime." Captain Zhang said, pointing at the mother and son.

"Haha, although I have only been in Beijing for a short time, I have never heard that begging can be considered a serious crime. What's more, there are orders for entering and leaving the capital. As long as it is daytime, both civilians and beggars can enter the capital." Ren Hao said with a smile.

"That was in the past. The entry and exit rules in the capital have been changed." Commander Zhang still spoke arrogantly.

“Who changed it?”

Just then, Li Shiji came over and asked.

"Who are you?" Captain Zhang looked Li Shiji up and down.

Liang Hao, who was following beside him, immediately shouted, "How dare you! You don't even kneel down to greet the prince of the royal family?"

Liang Hao took out Li's token from his arms.

"I am Zhang Juzhi, the humble general, and I am here to pay my respects to Master Li." Captain Zhang quickly knelt down and paid his respects. His previous arrogance disappeared instantly.

"I'm asking you a question. Who changed the order for entering and leaving the capital?" Li Shiji asked after taking a glance.

"Yes... yes, I changed it." Zhang Juzhi said with a stiff face.

"You are so bold that you can modify the entry and exit orders set by the emperor without authorization." Li Shiji said coldly.

"Sir, if I hadn't improved my order, the capital would have been filled with beggars."

"I had to do this in order to maintain the security of the capital... I had no choice." Captain Zhang argued stubbornly.

At this moment, Shi Huan shouted loudly: "You are talking nonsense, you clearly don't want us to..."

"What won't I allow you to do?" Ren Hao immediately sensed that this matter was not simple, but Shi Huan's mouth had been covered by his mother and he was unable to respond.

Ren Hao and Li Shiji looked at each other. Although Li Shiji was a royal relative, he could not do anything to Zhang Tongwei. After all, he had no power.

In the end, Li Shiji sent Zhang Tongwei away, but Zhang Tongwei still looked at Shi Huan and his mother in dissatisfaction. However, due to the presence of royal relatives, he had to lead his men away.

After Zhang Tongwei led the imperial guards away, Ren Hao invited Shi Huan and his mother into his mansion and asked Cai Lun to serve meat and rice to entertain them.

The mother and son had been hungry for a long time, so they didn't care about their image and started to eat with relish.

After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Ren Hao asked, "Do you have anything to hide?"

"Master, I...we have nothing to hide. We were just extremely hungry, so we came to the capital to beg for some food. But Captain Zhang kept arresting us." Shi's mother sighed, and signaled Shi Huan beside her to shut up and not say any more.

Seeing that Shi Mu was unwilling to say more, Ren Hao did not ask any more questions and said, "In that case, you and your son can stay in my house from now on. I can..."

"Thank you for your kindness, Master, but I am still too young to be your retainer."

"I am extremely sorry that my son disrupted the master's recruitment competition. It's all my fault that I didn't keep an eye on him." Shi's mother apologized to Ren Hao and quickly asked Shi Huan to apologize as well.

But Shi Huan stood up and said unwillingly: "Mom, I am already grown up. I won the competition with my strength. How can it be called trouble?"

and also.

"I don't think Master Ren is a bad guy. Why can't we stay in his house? Why can't we tell him everything we've experienced? I believe Master Ren will be able to make the decision for us. He is definitely not the dog official he claims to be!!!"
