Salt Xiao Fulang

The two rushed downstairs in a hurry, only to see that the children were still hugging their thighs persistently.

If you can't hug your thighs, just hug your calves.

Because the teahouse was nearby, the guy who came out to see the situation was also hugged.At first glance, the adults are all as vicious as Thanos, but they are actually stalked to death, and they can't really step on them, which is miserable.

Xiaochun was a little relieved, and saw that the children just wanted to eat, so she squatted down slightly at the door and said, "Get up, I'll buy you steamed buns."

Several pairs of eyes flocked together, like hungry wolves at night, Xiaochun almost felt that their eyeballs were glowing green.The little faces were all dark, if it weren't for the many lights around them, they would have completely melted into the night.

One of the children was probably the leader, showing a mouthful of white teeth: "We will let you go after you bring it."

"That's right, just let it go."

The little followers followed suit, like a small repeater.

Xiaochun asked the waiter in the teahouse for twenty white flour steamed buns.The delicious steamed buns came over quickly, attracting the little black people to crawl up and down.

Xu Shi knew that they were dirty and disgusting, so they took the steamed buns and hid in a corner, not blocking the door of the teahouse, and ate voraciously.

After they ate for a while, Xiaochun asked, "Where are your family members? Why do you go to the street to beg for food?"

The child king rolled his eyes: "Why did I tell you? When you gave us food, you didn't say that you must answer the questions."

Xiaochun was taken aback, thought for a while and said: "Then do you still want to eat? Answer a question and give another steamed bun. Of course, you have to tell the truth."

When several people heard this, their eyes widened as they swallowed the steamed buns.

A small man hiding behind couldn't bear it anymore, and asked timidly: "Really, do you keep your word?"

The child was four or five years old at most, with a weak voice, like a little girl.Xiaochun was overjoyed, and his voice became softer, and he replied, "It must be true."

So the few people talked about the origins in a hurry, without waiting for Xiaochun to ask one by one...

It turned out that the little black people lived in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city. The eldest child, Wang, was a boy, seven years old, and the others were little girls, Xiao Shuanger, and the youngest was four years old.Most of them used to be children of different tenant families in a nearby mountain village. They were sold out because of the difficulties in life, and were rescued by a man named "Shan Zige".

The King of Children has been in the ruined temple for a year, but the youngest girl just joined them yesterday.

"Brother Shanzi will come to visit us in a few days and bring us something to eat. Usually we go to the nearby mountains to dig wild vegetables, and sometimes we catch meat, and the food is better than before at home!"

"Brother Shanzi is very powerful! He runs very fast!"

"Brother Shanzi is the best person in the world. I will marry Brother Shanzi when I grow up."

"Why!? I'm going to marry Brother Shanzi!"

Seeing that the children were about to fight, Xiaochun hurried up to persuade the fight, but before he could speak, he heard the child king say, "We can marry Brother Shanzi together."

The children were stunned, and then cheerfully echoed: "Yangyang is so smart, we can marry together!"

Song Xu hiccupped from laughing at the side, and was glared at by Xiaochun before restraining himself a little, and he also squatted down and asked, "Then why did you come to the city today to beg for food? Where's your brother Shanzi?"

The kid named Yangyang sighed pretentiously: "The food at home is finished, and Brother Shanzi said to bring it to us today. He never missed his appointment, and usually he would come to the temple before dark, but today he kept There was no one there...Little sister is too hungry, and we also wanted to find Brother Shanzi, so we went to the city."

Song Xu frowned, asked some more questions, and probably figured out the background of these children.

Huaicheng is a big city, and there are not only countless villages nearby, but also many rich people's villages.There is a landlord who owns thousands of hectares of fertile land in the suburbs. Hundreds of tenants work for him and pay taxes and rent every year. Every family has a difficult life.

Those who can save money have found other ways early, but more people have fled decades ago. It is not easy to live on a farm, and they are powerless to resist the heavy rent from the landlord.

The Shanzi brother they were talking about was actually a servant of the landlord's family.

Children don't know many things. In their narration, it is probably that the family is in trouble, parents quarrel, and if they can't pay back the money they owe, they will sell it to the landlord.The landlord wanted to exchange them for money, but Brother Shanzi released them halfway, gave them something to eat, and raised them.

But if the person is released, where will the money for prostitution come from?How to go back to work?

Song Xu thought of a person, and looked at Xiaochun, both of them had some bad premonitions in their hearts.

The thief before was a young man, and his figure was similar to that described by the children.Could it be him?Steal money from passers-by on the street and go back and pretend to sell a child?

No matter what, you can't really let these little black people walk around on the street, and they will be watched by people.And the night was getting dark, and when the lights went out, the children would be scared to death.

So the two asked for trouble again, strung a bunch of radishes and headed back to the inn.

After everything was settled, Song Xu and Xiaochun were so tired that they could finally talk.

"I don't think Brother Shanzi is a good person." Xiaochun said, "He does good deeds, but passers-by should be stolen for nothing? Life is not easy for anyone, what if the life-saving money is stolen?"

"It's not necessarily that little thief, don't think about it. We happen to be going to see Brother Shi tomorrow, so let's ask about it then."

"Sigh... such a lovely child, others can't ask for it, how can parents abandon it cruelly?"

Hearing the melancholy in Xiaochun's words, Song Xu couldn't feel it, so he could only comfort him softly: "The same kind of rice feeds all kinds of people, and welcoming summer is so good, how can others easily compare?"

Xiaochun almost rolled his eyes, and wanted to laugh, but finally couldn't resist the sleepiness, the two fell asleep together.

Their guess turned out to be true.

The next day, the radish heads were handed over to Jiang Tiantian to take care of them, and the two came to the Yamen.After exchanging greetings with Shi Jinyun, the prisoner was brought into the lobby.

The prefect called him "the prisoner Yuanshan".

It is reasonable to say that no outsiders should be present during the trial, but firstly, Xiaochun was successful in catching the thief yesterday, and secondly, Shi Jinyun was the object of the eunuch's efforts to curry favor. The gavel has used [-] points of strength, and it is just a little bit out of rhythm.

Yuan Shan's face was slightly gloomy, he was a thin young man.It was dark last night and I couldn't see clearly, but now I looked up, but I was quite handsome.

He silently listened to the eunuch reading his crimes one by one, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and his mind was wandering.It wasn't until the prefect asked him if you were convicted, that he seemed to come back to his senses.

"The slave is guilty."

They are slaves, not peasants.Song Xu's heart skipped a beat, always feeling uneasy.

This trial was actually for Shi Jinyun.

The eunuch went into battle in person, besides keeping people from watching, he was very dignified, even Song Xu Xiaochun, who was standing in the corner, felt oppressed.

Sunlight pours in from the outside, making the interior darker.Na Yuanshan knelt in the hall, his whole body was a shadow, casting a long shadow forward.

He pleaded guilty like a child's play, so that the prefect didn't know how to continue for a while.Stealing is not a serious crime, and the prefect didn't want to make a big deal out of the trial, but it shouldn't be so anticlimactic.

He was about to hold back his verdict, but the people in the field spoke up again.

"The slave's crime is unforgivable, but he has something to report to the prefect."

The prefect took a deep breath, glanced at Shi Jinyun, and nodded.

Yuan Shan kowtowed heavily: "This slave wants to sue his master, Qi Youtian in Huaicheng - privately cast iron, privately set up casinos, ignored the court's laws, and killed good people. There have been dozens of tragedies so far! His crimes are serious and his actions are vicious. broke the law."

He raised his head, blood flashed in his eyes.

"Please be careful, my lord!"

The voice echoed in the empty hall, Shi Jinyun put the tea cup in his hand on the table with a solemn face.

The prefect was so startled that he almost jumped up, breaking out in a cold sweat—cast iron! ?Forget about anything else, what does cast iron mean! ?

"Shi, Imperial Envoy Shi, why don't you stop here for today...?"

When Xiaochun heard the word "imperial envoy", he clenched Song Xu's sleeves tightly.He didn't dare to speak, he looked anxiously at Song Xu and then at the prefect.

Imperial envoy! ?Shi Jinyun is really an imperial envoy!

They went all the way north, but the imperial envoy came from the north, so it made perfect sense to meet each other!

If Shi Jinyun is really the imperial envoy of the southern patrol, can they sue now! ?Overthrow Chunyang County, Qian Sangou, these boulders that are pressing down on the bottom of my heart from the bottom up!

Song Xu squeezed Xiaochun's hand, signaling him to be calm, and his face was serious.

He had already guessed Shi Jinyun's identity, and it was not surprising that it was confirmed now.

On the contrary, it was Yuanshan.

As a slave, he disobeyed his master's order. Although the method of crime should be criticized, saving the children is indeed the original intention.

Facing the interrogation, he was calm and calm. After analyzing the scene, he resolutely turned his eyes to Shi Jinyun in the corner for help...

what a boy.

Song Xu couldn't help thinking of Qian Xiaoyu.
