Sister, be yourself!

Chapter 157

"Why, you dare to do it without letting people tell you?"

The beggar answered with a crisp sound made by bending his knuckles. He looked warily at Xiao Yunzhi's tightly clenched hands, and was instantly cowed. He grabbed another plate of food and buried his head in eating.

Xiao Yuanzhi ignored him, she walked to the door, breathed the fresh air outside, and calmed down the anger in her heart along the way.

Although Huaibei is close to Songzhou, Wei Zisu may not be able to come back for a while because Wei Zisu wants to investigate. Let her handle Li Xi's affairs alone.

This is a major matter that concerns the common people, and she is afraid that a wrong decision will hurt more people. If only Wei Zisu was here, she could still listen to Wei Zisu.

Xiao Yuanzhi sighed several times, she was really worried.

If Louxuan's grandson hadn't dragged her and Wei Zisu into the water, she would have gone away with Wei Zisu now, and there would be no such troublesome things to deal with.

But when she thought of Lou Xuan, she thought of the day when Lou Xuan fell into the dung bucket, half of her body was buried in it, and a lot of human metabolites were splashed on her messy hair. Thinking about it, it was funny and happy. .

Sighing and laughing for a while, he made the beggar a little timid, could it be that Xiao Yuanzhi was driven mad by him?

so fragile?

"Grandpa, are you alright?"

Xiao Yuanzhi was brought back to his senses by this voice, waved his hand again, and said perfunctorily: "It's okay, eat yours quickly, after you finish eating, I'm in a hurry to go back."

Hearing that Xiao Yuanzhi was leaving, the beggar became anxious and stopped eating, "Benefactor, are you leaving? When are you coming back? You won't starve me for several days, right? You won't leave me alone, will you?"

Several questions made Xiao Yunzhi roll his eyes frequently, "If I don't leave, should I stay here with you? As for when to come to see you, it depends on how the matter is handled, and it also depends on me. Feeling."

The beggar felt very disappointed, as if he had seen the scene where he was dying of hunger. The more he thought about it, the more miserable his fate became, and he began to cry again.

Xiao Yuanzhi supported her forehead, the crying made her scalp tingle, "Don't cry."

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow."

The beggar was shaking his nose and tears wildly, crying so hard that he was hoarse.

"Don't cry."

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow."

As if on purpose, the more Xiao Yuanzhi refused to let him cry, the harder he cried and the louder he cried.

Xiao Yuanzhi rubbed her ears, the other party was not Wei Zisu, she naturally had no patience, not to mention that the beggar was a little arrogant before, she reprimanded: "I told you not to cry, it's so annoying, you are not dead, you cry What are you crying, crying every day, what kind of words!"

The crying stopped abruptly, and the beggar was frightened by the roar. He wiped his face with his sleeve and wiped away the tears. After wiping, the original face was vaguely revealed.

When Xiao Yuanzhi looked at him, he felt a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

Xiao Yuanzhi remained calm, approached him, and poured him another cup of tea, her voice became a lot gentler, "Since I have saved you, I will definitely not leave you alone, don't worry too much Hey, I'm tired after crying for a while, drink a cup of tea to moisten my throat."

The beggar reached out to take the tea, but Xiao Yuanzhi splashed water on his face.

"Oh, I didn't hold my hand steady, and accidentally splashed it on your face."

Her tone was calm, with no ups and downs at all. Neither the tone nor the reasons she made up were convincing.

The beggar is annoyed, isn't that insulting?

He wiped his face indiscriminately, so angry that he sat up straight, looked up at Xiao Yuanzhi again, just about to swear, but Xiao Yuanzhi said coldly: "Don't move."

There was a majesty in the tone that could not be resisted, and the beggar really didn't dare to move after hearing it.

Xiao Yunzhi looked at the face of the beggar, and kept searching for faces similar to him from his memory, and finally overlapped with one of the faces.

The beggar noticed Xiao Yuanzhi's intentions, hurriedly lowered his head, and covered his face with his hands indiscriminately to prevent Xiao Yuanzhi from recognizing it.

"Second Liu?"

The beggar panicked, "What Liu Er Er, I am not Liu Er Er, benefactor, don't talk nonsense."

"I didn't expect Xiaoshan to search around Songzhou, but he couldn't find you. Instead, he asked me and my wife to save you."

"I'm not Liu Er Er, I'm not Liu Er Er."

Xiao Yuanzhi didn't believe it at all, and didn't want to bother him, so he decided to cheat him, "Well, since you said you are not Liu's second child, then I have to hand you over to the magistrate Mr. Li, and let him find someone to identify you." .”

Liu Er Er was so frightened that he wanted to get up and kneel down to Xiao Yunzhi, his legs couldn't use any strength, so he could only bend over and hit the bed with his head, "No, benefactor, please don't hand me over to Lord Li, please. If you leave me to benefactor, if you hand me over to Mr. Li, he will not let me live, as long as benefactor you let me go, I will repay you even if I am a cow!"

"Then you are Liu's second son?"

The bed was rattled by Liu Lao Er, "Yes yes yes, I am Liu Lao Er, I am Liu Lao Er, please benefactor, please let me go!"

"Okay, I won't take you to see Master Li."

Liu Er Er looked up, with a secret joy on his face, "Really?"

Xiao Yuanzhi nodded, "Yes."

Liu Er Er kowtowed to Xiao Yuanzhi again, "Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor, I, Liu Erer, will never forget your benefactor's kindness in my life, and I will do whatever my benefactor asks me to do in the future." What, I am willing to go up the mountain of swords and down the pan of oil for benefactor!"

Hearing these old-fashioned words, Xiao Yunzhi's ears were almost callused, "It's just so good, I really have something for you to do."

"Engong, please tell me, even if I, Liu Er Er, climb over, I will do it for Engong!"

"There's no need to climb, I'll find someone to carry you over there, and you will come with me to see Master Li tonight."

.....

Isn't this still going to hand him over to Mr. Li?

"Engong, please forgive me, please forgive me, Mr. Li will kill me, I beg you, please forgive me, I will never dare again!"

This one is like smashing garlic, he didn't feel dizzy when he ate it, and Xiao Yunzhi felt dizzy when he saw it, "Okay, stop, I want you to testify against Mr. Liu, not to send you to death, don't worry , after the matter is completed, not only will you be able to live well, but you will also get a sum of money, which is enough for you to live well in the future."

Xiao Yuanzhi wanted to arrest Li Xi tonight in order to prevent the night from having long dreams. With witnesses, it is a fact that Li Xi carelessly disregarded human life. As for embezzling disaster relief officials' money, it will have to wait for Wei Zisu's investigation, and Liu Laoer is now the last She was worried that Li Xi would take his life. She only needed to keep him safe and give him some sweets, and she would naturally tell her everything.

Liu Laoer's eyes were full of doubts, "Just you?"

Even if she is a lady from a wealthy family, she is only rich and wants to fight with officials?

Isn't that an idiot's dream? !

Xiao Yuanzhi didn't like the message in his eyes, "Do you think I can't protect you?"

"Grandfather, Mr. Li is the magistrate. In Songzhou, he only covers the sky with his hands, and he protects other officials from other places. We ordinary people, let's forget it."

Xiao Yuanzhi showed a gold medal, "This is a gold medal bestowed by the emperor. Seeing the token is like seeing a sage. You can kill the prince and corrupt officials. Tell me... can I protect you?"

This was given to her by her father when she returned to the palace, and she kept it and never took it out.

Liu Laoer was startled, he took a closer look and saw four large characters written on it, unfortunately he didn't know any of them, and wanted to touch it, but Xiao Yuanzhi took it back.

Liu Lao Er couldn't believe it, "This...is it true?"

Xiao Yuanzhi gave him a white look, "What can I get by lying to you? You should think carefully about what I said, and you have to think clearly, the only chance is this time. If you want to hide forever, I won't stop you, just When Li Xi finds you, I don't know how he will deal with you."

This sentence gave Liu Laoer countless room for imagination, but every one of them was a tragic death. If Li Xi killed him in the end, then there is a chance now, why didn't he give it a try?

What's more, Xiao Yuanzhi also said that he would guarantee his safety. Thinking of Xiao Yuanzhi's help to their entire village in the past and now saving him, it is impossible for him to be a bad person.

Liu Laoer didn't want to live in fear every day, "Grandpa, I promise you."

"In that case, tell me, why did you hide? What happened during this period?"

Next, Liu Laoer told all the things he encountered. Once he lost money in a bet, and after being kicked out by the gambling shop, he had nowhere to go, so he wandered around the street and saw a door open. door, and no one around.

Once he became addicted to gambling, he couldn't care about anything else. He slipped in, trying to steal something and sell it so that he could get some money before he could gamble. There were a lot of boxes, he was afraid of being discovered, so he hid, and he heard them discussing about embezzling government money, which frightened him, he didn't dare to breathe for fear of being discovered.

After the people left, he hurried back to the village, but met the group of people again, they were massacring people in the village, and he knew one of them, the head catcher in the yamen, he was terrified, lying on the ground He pretended to be dead on the ground, so he escaped a catastrophe. After Ye Shan and his party came, they repelled the group, and he followed Ye Shan to the cottage.

During the few days in the cottage, he kept observing Ye Shan and knew that Ye Shan was a good person, so he told Ye Shan that Li Xi had embezzled the relief money, but he did not tell Ye Shan where Li Xi hid the official money and who was going to transfer it. place.

Later, he went down the mountain and went to find Li Xi. He wanted to take the opportunity to hit Li Xi hard to solve his current predicament, so he took the opportunity to threaten Li Xi, but he didn't expect that Li Xi was not afraid of threats at all, so he ordered his subordinates who took his life.

No, on the way to be hunted down, his leg was cut and he was reduced to the point of gnawing on rotten vegetable leaves and eating slop. He wanted to go back to the village, but he couldn't walk. It took a lot of his energy.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuanzhi just wanted to say that he deserved it!

This is really unsatisfactory. As a local official, Li Xi can shut up the common people. How can he be threatened so easily? !

Even if it's black and white, it depends on the background, Liu Laoer is really stupid.

"I also know the specific situation. You should rest well. I will order someone to come to you at night. By the way, this is for you."

Xiao Yuanzhi threw a dagger at him, "Hold it for self-defense. When picking you up, the other party will hold a handkerchief embroidered with orchids. Otherwise, don't go with her."

Liu Er Er tightly held the dagger given by Xiao Yunzhi, "Okay, benefactor, I will listen to you."
