Chapter 19 Officers? Robbers?
Liu Shui didn't know how to refute Xie Ji's point of view. The head of the family seemed to have changed.
The head of the family didn't think so in the past. In the past, the head of the family didn't care about the life and death of those people, but now he actually raises public opinion.
"Okay, Patriarch, Liu Shui will prepare it right away."
Liu Shui saw that the head of the family still wanted to visit privately incognito, so he had no choice but to do it. With the secret guard protecting him, there should be no big problem.
After a while, Liu Shui brought two pieces of clothing. The quality was much worse than the one I was wearing, but they were still good.
Xie Ji happily put on his clothes with great expectation. When Liu Shui saw that the head of the family was so happy today, he looked like a teenager.
Full of vigor and vitality, it seems that the head of the family was tired from political affairs before, so he did not show such a sincere smile.
"Come on, let's go for a walk."
Xie Ji patted Liu Shui on the shoulder. Liu Shui was a little surprised that the head of the family actually patted him like this.
"What are you doing standing still? Let's go!"
Xie Ji saw Liu Shui frozen on the spot and spoke.
Xie Ji looks quite sunny like this, as energetic as a student on campus. However, Xie Ji is a twenty-year-old young man in modern times. He has just entered society and is naturally sunny, but he chooses to be a nerd.
A road of no return.
This time travel evoked his youth, as well as his pursuit and yearning for the future.
"Oh, okay."
Liu Shui reacted and nodded immediately.
"How are we going to get out?" Xie Ji was thinking about how to get out without being discovered.
"Climb the wall? Go to the dog hole? Get out as a servant?" Xie Ji muttered.
Liu Shui heard Xie Ji's muttering and was shocked. How could the head of the family do such a thing? Why is he becoming more and more unreliable?
The head of the house has a distinguished status, so it is already very disgraceful to climb the wall, and to act like a dog, let alone treat him as a servant, no, absolutely not.
The head of the family is the prime minister. If he is discovered to have done such a thing, how will he be able to gain a foothold in the court in the future?
"Home, Master, why don't we go out?"
Liu Shui suggested, what is there outside that attracts the owner of the house? If someone discovers that the owner of the house actually ran outside, that would be fine.
"I've already changed, and you tell me not to go out?" Xie Jicai would not give up. A time traveler who does not go out for a private visit in disguise cannot be called a time traveler.
"By the way, we can ask the secret guards to take us out."
Xie Ji thought for a moment, wondering if he was stupid for leaving such a useful method behind and thinking about drilling into a dog hole or something like that.
But if you drill a dog hole, it will definitely be a good experience.
Liu Shui was at a loss for words. The secret guard's duty was to deliver messages and protect the family head at critical moments. They were not there to climb walls, but he didn't object. After all, it was more dignified than crawling into a dog hole or something like that.
As a result, Xie Ji and Liu Shui came to the street unnoticed by the secret guards.
"Master, how should we go shopping?"
Liu Shui thought that this time might be an unusual experience, and he could show off to Gao Shan that he was out having fun with the owner of the family.
Xie Ji thought, how should we go shopping this time?
What are you thinking about? Of course you are just wandering around. Do you still need to think about it?
"Liu Shui, now that I'm outside, you can't call me the head of the family anymore."
"Then, what should we call it?" Liu Shui was puzzled. What should we call it?
"Then let's call him Young Master." Xie Ji thought it would be nice to have another folding fan. He could shake it like that and look like a handsome young master.
The man on Mo is like jade, and his son is unparalleled in the world. He is gentle, refined, and graceful.
It's like this in TV dramas, and he came to learn it today. Although he didn't have a folding fan, it was enough.
"Okay, Young Master." Liu Shui felt the same way, it was best not to let others discover the identity of the head of the family.
Otherwise, if someone else discovers it, the consequences will be disastrous.
If you are caught, the consequences will be very negative.
Xie Ji and Liu Shui walked and walked into the busy city. The more they walked, the more desolate they became. Everything around them was not as beautiful as Xie Ji imagined.
Rather, it is very barren and desolate, and almost no one wears a complete piece of clothing, which is all patched and patched.
It was completely different from what Xie Ji had in mind.
"Master, this place is too dirty. Let's go somewhere else."
Liu Shui saw Xie Ji staring at this place and frowning from time to time, so he advised him.
Xie Ji nodded, there was nothing he could do. Looking at these people, they looked haggard, skinny as wood, and their eyes were hollow, which deeply hurt his eyes. This was just the capital city, it was like this in the capital city, and you can imagine other places.
Just as Xie Ji was about to leave, suddenly a large group of officers and soldiers ran over and surrounded the people.
"Master, please be kind, we really don't have any money." The old man with a wrinkled face and white hair begged as he tugged at the hem of an officer and soldier wearing official uniforms, and followed him closely.
Next to him, there was a child who looked about seven or eight years old.
The officers and soldiers whose clothes were being pulled kicked the old man to the ground and said jokingly: "No money? Your rice is pretty good. It will be confiscated."
After saying that, the officers and soldiers who were following him kicked over the old man's basket, dug out a cloth bag hidden underneath, and roughly opened it to see that there was white rice inside.
When the old man saw this, he immediately knelt down in front of the white official boots of the officers and soldiers, and begged desperately: "My lord, my lord, this is the last life-saving food for this villain. If you take it, how can our whole family still survive?"
Ah, please, be kind and let us live, please."
After saying that, he pulled the frightened child aside and pushed him to his knees, "Quick, quick, let's beg the magistrate together with grandpa, beg the magistrate to let us live."
The little child still didn't understand what happened. He looked at his grandfather in horror and cried loudly.
The officer and soldier were impatient by the children's sharp cries and kicked the old man away again. He bent down and wiped his official boots that were stained with a few grains of dust, and said with a sinister smile: "Let you live? How much are you worth?"
How much money?"
"Please, please give us back that rice." The sixty-year-old man still crawled in front of the officers and soldiers and held on to the officers and soldiers holding the vegetables. It was the last remaining grain he had left, even if he had to fight for it.
Life must also be saved.
"open."
Seeing that the old man wouldn't let go, the officer and soldier kicked him over again, causing the old man to fall to the ground unconscious.
Xie Ji felt furious after seeing this, and wanted to go over and beat those officers and soldiers to the ground.
Are these officers and soldiers still human? How could they treat a helpless old man like that?
"Stop it, who allowed you to do this?"
Xie Ji's words attracted the surrounding officers and soldiers to look over and saw that Xie Ji was well-dressed, like a scholar.
"This matter has nothing to do with you? Don't meddle in other people's business and leave quickly. Otherwise, believe it or not, we will deal with you later." The leader of the officers and soldiers looked at Xie Ji and said, if they hadn't seen Xie Ji's extraordinary temperament and thin skin.
He's so tender, I thought it would be better to do less than to do more, otherwise I would have gone over and beat him up too.
Xie Ji looked at his fierce eyes and felt a little disgusted. Are these officers and soldiers? It seems that this world is extremely dark.
"In broad daylight, you openly robbed people and knocked a gray-haired old man to the ground. This is what you should do? Who allowed you to do this? Don't you know that this violates the law?"
Xie Ji couldn't bear it anymore. He couldn't bear that someone knocked an old man to the ground in front of him.
This is ancient times. I didn't expect the officers and soldiers to be so rampant. With such officers and soldiers, the dynasty is not far from being destroyed.
"Law? Hahahaha, don't you think it's ridiculous that he actually talks to us about the law?" an officer and soldier said to other officers and soldiers, laughing.
"Hahaha, it's really ridiculous. Boy, do you know who we are? You actually talk about the law with us?" Another officer and soldier asked Xie Ji. He has long been unhappy with this kind of people. He hates this kind of scholar the most in his life.
, Bai Wuyi is a scholar, and he also likes to block their work.
If they hadn't seen that the scholar was decently dressed, they would have gone over to teach him how to behave.
"I don't know who you are, but I know that if you don't return the rice to the old man, apologize to the old man, and compensate for the medical expenses, you will be miserable."
Xie Ji felt that he could not communicate with them. Who would treat an old man like this? Where is their conscience?
"It's miserable, how miserable is it? Is it as miserable as him?" the officer said, kicking the child on the ground and stepping on him.
Xie Ji's eyes could burst into flames just by looking at him. This man was simply heartbroken.
Just when Xie Ji was about to reach the breaking point, a dozen people wearing red scarves suddenly appeared, grabbed the officer and soldier who trampled the child under his feet, and beat him up.
The officers and soldiers said: "The bandits are coming, let's run away."
The officers and soldiers fled in the direction of the county government office, as if they were going to move reinforcements.
But the funny thing is that there are dozens of these officers and soldiers in total, but there are only a dozen of these bandits.
The ability to surrender before fighting is vividly reflected in these officers and soldiers.
