Chapter 422： Is it a coincidence or a calculation?

Chapter 422 Is it a coincidence or a calculation?

Li Laoer has already changed into his official uniform in Mr. Wen's courtyard. He is now wearing a duck egg blue quilted robe with a jade pendant hanging from his waist. It cannot be said that he is extremely rich, but at least he is not shabby.

Even if the beggars and gangsters on the street want to be bullied, they dare not provoke him like this.

So, he was suddenly knocked down and sat down on the ground. Li Laoer was still a little dazed. His tailbone was sore and numb, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

He raised his head in annoyance, and just as he was about to curse, he met a pair of big panicked eyes.

The owner of the eyes is an eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman with disheveled hair, a dirty face, and a very panicked expression.

She also held an eight or nine-year-old boy in her hand. He was sallow and thin, and seemed to have been stunned. He looked like he was about to cry. He was very pitiful.

"You?" Li Laoer didn't know what to say. He stood up and asked, trying his best to endure the pain, "Who are you? The street is so crowded, how can you run like crazy?"

The woman struggled to get up, looked back, and apologized hastily, "I'm sorry, sir, we were not careful!"

As she spoke, she helped the boy up again, but unfortunately the boy couldn't stand firmly and almost fell down.

It was only then that Li Laoer discovered that the boy's legs were strangely drooping, unable to bear any strength, and the exposed calf in half of the trouser leg was swollen and unsightly, and it was obviously... broken.

He didn’t want to pursue the case, but now he saw that these two people seemed to be anxious, so he got out of the way.

“You go, be careful.”

The woman quickly thanked them, but before they could take a step forward, four or five farm men suddenly appeared from the street not far away, each carrying hemp ropes and bricks. When they saw the woman and the boy, they ran around like menaces. Come over.

The woman was so frightened that she tried to run away with the boy on her back, but was quickly caught.

The man at first ignored Li Laoer, raised the brick in his hand and threw it at the woman.

“You bitch, if you let me run away, I’ll beat you to death!”

The boy who was lying on the woman's back screamed and stood up, protecting the woman under him.

The green brick hit him directly on the head, and bright red blood started to flow down!

"Brother!" The woman didn't care about anything, she pulled the unconscious boy off and cried loudly, "Brother, brother!"

Not only did the men not stop, but they rushed forward to face the woman and continued to punch and kick her.

The leading man held the **** brick and was still cursing, "Kick me to death, you don't know how to lift something!"

"I've arranged a good way out for you, as if I've tricked you and raised you for three years in vain. It's better to kill such beasts!"

The woman hunched over her body, trying her best to protect her younger brother. Even though the fists and kicks rained down on her, she did not move away at all.

Passers-by were all shocked by such a sudden change. In broad daylight, even the servants at home did not attack him so casually and beat him to death!

Some people wanted to help, but these people looked so fierce that they hesitated for a while.

Li Laoer was also so shocked that he didn't react for a while. After all, when people were fleeing from famine and eating people, it wasn't so bloody.

He squinted his eyes slightly, feeling a little wary.

The new capital is so big, but things happened suddenly in front of him...

He wanted to wait and see what would happen, but unfortunately, the woman was beaten so badly that she was unable to protect her brother. She fell to the ground, and the boy's head and one arm were exposed.

A man laughed ferociously, stepped on the back of the boy's hand and pushed him to the ground.

The boy woke up from the pain and opened his eyes covered with blood. His eyes were full of despair and pain.

This is just a naive child, about the same size as Cat Brother. Brother Cat is studying in the academy, protected by his brothers and cared for by his uncles and aunts.

But this child was so humiliated and beaten so severely!

Li Laoer closed his eyes hard, and when he opened them again, he shouted, "Stop!"

The men who were beating up were startled, and turned around to look at Li Laoer. Maybe they saw that he was well-dressed, but they didn’t dare to curse. They just asked with a cold face, "Who are you, minding your own business!"

"Who am I?" Li Laoer strode forward, pushed away several men, protected the woman and child behind him, and shouted loudly, "I am just an ordinary passerby. In broad daylight, you are so fierce and cruel, beating me Do women and children still have any respect for the law?”

When the other passers-by saw someone coming forward, they all responded, "That's right, if there's anything you can't talk about, you must do something! How young is this child? There's so much blood on his head, how can he still survive?"

Several big men looked bad, and the leader among them shouted, "What does it have to do with you whether you are dead or not! I am their uncle, their parents are dead, I am their God, what can happen if I am beaten to death?" ?”

uncle?

Everyone frowned.

Tianwu governs the country with filial piety. We don’t talk about ordinary people, let’s talk about the palace. The Queen Mother is not the emperor’s biological mother, so the emperor still has to show courtesy.

The Queen Mother has often interfered in the affairs of the government over the years. It can be said that Tianwu has retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, and the Queen Mother must bear at least half of the responsibility. However, the emperor still cannot do anything to the Queen Mother.

If the parents of these two siblings are dead, they really should listen to their uncle. Even if they are beaten and scolded, they cannot resist...

But the woman sat up with support, still stretching out her arms to protect her brother, and retorted with a sad smile, "You are talking nonsense, you are just my cousin! My parents are dead, my grandma is dead, but I still have a brother! You guys are trying to swallow My yard and fields are beating us to death.

“Today you are going to send us to the flower house, make me the flower girl, and let my brother be the turtle father! I sold the money to pay off your debt! You are worse than a pig or a dog! You are the beast!”

After saying that, she was probably so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground. It was obvious that she had been beaten severely and her heart was hurt.

Hearing this, everyone felt pity for the siblings and shouted one after another.

“It’s really unreasonable. This is going to make a fortune!”

"What a desperate family! There are still boys in this family! It's obvious that they want to kill people and steal money!"

“It’s too wicked to bully others like this!”

The men felt a little guilty after hearing this, gritted their teeth and stepped forward, trying to pull the siblings away.

“Okay, it was my uncle who was wrong just now, and he acted harshly when he was angry. Let’s go home, let’s talk about something.”

However, the two siblings actually had a tacit understanding. They both pulled off Li Laoer's trousers and said, "No, if you sell us, we won't go back with you even if we die!"

The leading man was anxious and wanted to smash the brick in his hand again, but was pushed away by Li Laoer.

"If you dare to take action again, I will report it to the official! I will accuse you of seeking wealth and murder! According to the laws of Tianwu, even if you are a slave and not a death contract, you cannot be lynched at will! What's more, you are just a clan member!"

After saying that, he took out a dime of silver from his purse and asked everyone, "Which brother is willing to help me go to the government office and call the official?"

"I!"

"I go!"

“I know the way!”

Immediately three or four people came forward with their hands raised to take over the errand.
