Chapter 18 Something Happened

Others helped each other out of the carriage. Seeing Zhao Shuqing sitting motionless in the carriage, Zhao Yujia asked: "Sister Qing, won't you get off?"
< br />Zhao Shuqing shook his head, "I am weak and can't stand the wind, so I won't go down."

Hearing this, the girls didn't say anything more, and a few escorted them back. Accompanied by Zhuangzi's servants, he walked toward the crowd.

After getting closer, I found two carriages surrounded by a group of people.

There were three guards beside the carriage. They glared angrily at an old woman sitting on the ground in front of the carriage. She was holding a child in her arms and crying, shouting: " Ah Yuan, Grandma’s dear grandson, don’t scare Grandma.” I don’t know how many eyes Lord Ma has, right? Get out of the way. If you don’t, you’ll get a good look.” A bearded guard got impatient and yelled loudly.

The old woman responded without fear: "You hit my grandson. You can't leave without paying compensation. Even if you file a lawsuit with the government, I will be justified."

Following her cry, a group of farmers with hoes, rakes and other agricultural tools appeared. They were outnumbered and seemed not to take the three guards seriously.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the three guards became increasingly grim, their eyes filled with fierceness, and they were obviously angry.

When they wanted to roll up their sleeves and use force to drive away these people, a clear voice came from the carriage, "Qi Ming, don't be rude."

Hearing this Then, the bearded guard said helplessly: "Sir, it's not that my subordinates are being cruel, it's these unreasonable people who are unreasonable."

He helped the children onto the carriage and hurriedly sent them to the hospital in the city for a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old woman said: "I won't go to the city, who knows you guys have any problems? Will the wealthy people turn against us and kill our grandparents? All you have to do is give us money, and we will ask a doctor to look at our injuries ourselves."

The poor are afraid of the rich, and the people are afraid of officials.

What the old woman said sounded reasonable.

A sigh came from the car, "Old man, this is the foot of the emperor. Who dares to bully the weak? If your child is really injured, he should be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. You are wasting time by being evasive. But it’s not going to be good.”

The guard known as Qi Ming laughed strangely, “That’s right, old woman, you said your grandson was injured and is about to die. If you don’t send him to the hospital for treatment quickly, you just want to I want money. I think this grandson may not be your biological grandson. He alsoNot necessarily injured. You just want to extort money. You don't dare to follow me into the city because you are afraid of being exposed. "

After hearing this, the old woman hugged her child excitedly and cried even harder.

The villagers holding farm tools also echoed: "Compensation. Compensation for medical expenses. "

"If you hit someone, you won't be able to leave without compensation. "

"That's right, compensate, compensate quickly. "

The scene was noisy and chaotic.

Qi Ming shouted loudly: "Shut up! "Suppressed by his momentum, everyone fell silent for a while.

The young man in the car spoke again: "Qi Ming, don't get excited. It is normal for the elderly to worry about their grandchildren. Well, if you are worried that we have evil intentions and are not good for you, you can choose a few strong people to accompany you. ”

This sounds reasonable, but if the old woman’s grandson was really hit by a carriage, she would agree.

However, the old woman But the people were holding their children tightly and crying, and were unwilling to go to the city for medical treatment.

The villagers started to make noise again: "Don't try to play tricks and leave us alive without compensation. There is nothing to say. of. "

"This is on our territory, you can't even think of bullying us. "

Zhao Yuxiu asked doubtfully: "That young master makes sense, why don't they listen? "

"They are here just for money, and of course they will not listen to that young man. "Zhao Wangshu looked at the old woman's clothes covered with patches, with complicated eyes.

Although the old woman should not use this method to extort money, she still hoped that the young man in the car could peacefully Solve the problem instead of using violence.

Zhao Yuxiu said angrily: "In order to make dirty money, you should ignore the safety of a child. It is really abominable. "

"I see, that child may not be her grandson. "Zhao Yuying probed her head and said.

After these two sentences of dialogue, the situation has changed.

Several villagers saw the young master insisting on taking people into the city and looked at each other. One glance showed reluctance.

They knew very well that if they were taken away, they would definitely not get any benefits.

At this time, a strong man stepped forward and took the old woman away. The man and the child in her arms pulled her up and said dissatisfiedly: "Forget it, this kid is unlucky. Children from poor families deserve to be injured and die in falls. ”

Zhao Wangshu took a breath when he saw the child. There was really a big bump on his forehead, and there were bloodshot eyes oozing out from the bump. This childMy son was really hit by a carriage and had to be sent to the hospital quickly.

"The carriage stopped a long way away. You know where the wound on this kid's head came from. Don't try to blackmail him." However, Qi Ming's words indicated that they were having trouble. .

However, this group of people's tactics were very clever and their hearts were ruthless enough to let a really injured child act as the victim.

At this moment, the car door opened and the young man inside came out. He has a handsome appearance, wearing a dark green brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist. His face looks like a crown of jade, and his lips are painted with elixir. He looks like a young master from a wealthy family.

Seeing this noble young master, the villagers involuntarily took a few steps back.

The strong man cursed and pulled the injured boy, causing him to stagger and almost fall.

"I met you the first time I came to Beijing. It seems that we are destined. I happen to be short of an errand boy. I am willing to pay ten taels of silver. If you are willing, you can What do you think about selling this boy to me?" Your Excellency asked in a gentle tone.

Ten taels of silver is a considerable income for a farmer.

The strong man holding the boy said: "I want twenty taels of silver, otherwise I won't sell it."

Some people also echoed, "Yes, I want twenty taels. Silver, such a big boy can do a lot of things."

The child named A Yuan looked numb, listening to the people around him bargaining and talking about the money he sold himself for.

Your young master smiled and said: "Although it is my first time to come to Beijing, I also know that buying an adult man in Beijing only costs three to five taels of silver. If I didn't feel that this child is very destined for me, , I may not buy him back. If you are really reluctant, forget it."

After hearing this, the strong man showed hesitation, and he asked his mother: "Mother , what do you think?"

His mother looked at him with red eyes. She was willing to do it when her son asked her grandson to blackmail him, but she was not willing to sell her grandson. "Erlang, A Yuan is The only bloodline left by your eldest brother, you let him..."

"Mom, our family has little land and many people, how can we raise him?" The strong man interrupted her.

The old woman also knew her son's difficulties, lowered her head, wept silently, and slowly loosened her hands.
