Chapter 66 Beggar County Lord

(Happy weekend! The weather has been hot and cold recently, so everyone should keep warm and don’t catch a cold.:-) )

In the East Market next to Huguo Temple, in a clothing store.

Nianfu pointed to a new set of clothes on the wall and asked in disbelief, "Just this set of clothes costs twenty taels? Or is it the cheapest?"

The clerk was smiling all over his face and his service attitude was beyond words. "Girl, you may be new here and don't know the market in Beijing. Our store is expensive and labor is expensive, so everything is more expensive than elsewhere. But it's worth the money, we

The clothes in the store are all made of the latest and best materials. If you buy this color and take it home, I guarantee that no one will be the same as you within a year. If you have me, just take it and return it!"

You really know how to talk. Going all the way to the capital just to return a piece of clothing? That’s really crazy.

He went over to look at the men's clothing section, and Ouyang Kang came back expressionlessly, "No need to look, it's more expensive here."

After all, there are twenty-five taels of women's clothing over there, but a pair of shoes here costs thirty-five taels! Young Master Ouyang's heart is bleeding. Compared with this, the rose noodles in his hometown cost only one tael of silver per box.

Fat is nothing anymore. No wonder the banknotes his grandmother gave him before leaving were not enough. Prices in this capital are simply outrageous!

Ouyang Kang secretly covered his chest, but he still couldn't bear to take out the tips bag that he had kept close to his body. This money not only cost him, but also his grandmother's coffin book. He was so heartbroken to spend it here.

"Why don't you go back to my house?" When they get home, dad will always make them new clothes, right?

But Nianfu wanted to visit her father, who had already arrived in the capital. She suddenly couldn't wait any longer.

"Perhaps we have come to the wrong place? If I ask someone else, I don't believe it. All the people in the capital can afford clothes worth twenty or thirty taels of silver."

After leaving the shop, the two of them were discussing whether to inquire with others when they suddenly saw a commotion on the street.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly! We will be blind for a while. If I get hurt, don't blame us for not warning you!"

While they were talking, seven or eight servants in green clothes rode on tall horses and held whips, rushing out like wolves and tigers to clear the way. Behind them were two groups of uniformed guards wearing helmets and armor, armed with open guns and swords.

The soldiers in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China were no better than the old soldiers of later generations. These soldiers were truly fought in mountains of swords and seas of blood. They carried a condensed and chilling air. Although there were not many people, the momentum was very compelling.

.Even their horses have sharp and gloomy eyes that are intimidating.

Even though Zixiao is usually very arrogant, he is still a domestic pet. Seeing such a horse brother, he didn't dare to move up. He barked instinctively and pulled his owner back.

As soon as this group of soldiers came out, the people consciously crowded together against the wall. They gave way to the spacious road in the middle and waited for the rightful owner behind to pass.

Not long after, I saw someone holding a guard of honor. Two large carts with red roofs and canopies were behind them, one behind the other. The cart in front was pulled by five horses, while the one behind was slightly smaller, but also pulled by four horses.

horse.

Ouyang Kang whispered quietly, "A person like this is either a duke or a prince."

There was an old man squeezing in the back. He must be a local. He was very talkative. Even if he was stopped here, he couldn't help but whisper a few gossips to show off, "This is the carriage of Pingguo Gong's family. The small new car in the back.

She should be the newly appointed county head of Duke Ping's family. Speaking of it, this county head is really legendary. He was originally just a little beggar, but who knew that she was actually the eldest daughter of Duke Ping who had been living among the people in his early years. She was found only a few years ago.

Once you become the county lord, you will reach the sky in one step!"

Someone nearby echoed, "Today is July 15th, which is the Hungry Ghost Festival. I think it was the Duke who took her to Huguo Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. No wonder I passed by before and saw that the gate was sealed and people were not allowed to come in or out.

"

Huh, isn't that the real version of the little swallow? Nianfu craned his neck to take a few more glances, but the carriage passed quickly, and only the maid behind was holding a basket and distributing steamed buns, cakes and copper coins.

Many people gathered around to rob. Suddenly, a woman in white rushed out of the crowd and screamed loudly, "Dad, Daddy! I am your biological daughter. She is not real! She is fake."

, I should be the head of the county! If you don’t believe me, ask me to confront her, I can confront her!”

Hoho! Is there also a crape myrtle here? Nianfu was excited and wanted to push forward to take a closer look, but was firmly caught by an ignorant person next to him, "Why are you running? Just stay there!"

Nianfu was so anxious that he jumped up and down, "Let me go and see it, let me go and see it!" Such a reality show is a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Ouyang Kang didn't let go and tightened his grip, "You're sick of me, is that kind of excitement good to watch?"

Nian Fu was not convinced at first, but soon, what she saw shocked her.

Although Ziwei rushed forward bravely and rushed out of the crowd, she was stopped when she was still fifty or sixty years away from the big car.

He was a handsome guard who could be compared to Erkan, but he was not as passionate as Erkan. The cold iron spear hit the girl's chest straightly. He raised it high and threw it towards the back of the crowd, as if throwing away a rag.

Lost.

Before the exclamations in the crowd could subside, several more guards came over and swiped their rifles horizontally. The iron spear as thick as a child's wrist immediately caused several people who were nearby to vomit blood.

Then,

Then no one dared to make any noise anymore, and they waited quietly for those people to pass by, like the dead leaves on the branches in winter, shivering.

He...they just left like this? Those who were injured and dead were ignored? Nianfu was completely stupid. She only felt cold all over, and only her hair was numb.

As if guessing what she was thinking, Ouyang Kang explained with a low sigh, "It is a capital offense to rush into a noble person. What's more, she also talked obscenely in public, which is even more unforgivable. As for those who were watching closely.

People, who knows if they are her accomplices?"

"But what if, what if what she said is true?" Wouldn't that be an eternal injustice?

But Ouyang Kang shook his head sadly, "Whether it is true or not, it is no longer important. What is important is that the county owner has been recognized. If there is no sure evidence, someone with the same status as the Duke of Guogong can be found."

Who can refute her?"

He paused and then said slowly, "Today I finally understand why Mr. Wu said that there are some things that can only be said for that purpose. Otherwise, even if it is the truth that everyone knows, no one will listen."

Nianfu turned around and looked at him, who also looked pale and sad, and stopped talking.

At this time, someone in the big car at the front asked in confusion, "What happened just now? Why do you seem to hear someone crying behind you?"

The servant beside the car replied with a low eyebrow, "Master, it's no big deal when you return home. It's just a small dispute caused by the common people fighting for the distributed property. Just now, the county mistress has asked someone to send more things over.

Nothing happens anymore."

"Oh, that's good...just like her mother, she is also a kind-hearted woman."

"Who says it isn't? That's why God took special care of you and allowed you to find her."



After the large group of people passed by, someone in the crowd dared to whisper, "Ever since Pingguo recognized a daughter, the girls in the capital have gone crazy. Everyone wishes that they were not their own biological children, but the illegitimate daughter of some high-ranking official.

But how can there be so many good things in this world? It would be a good idea to kill one of them and destroy those people..."

The crowd gradually dispersed. Ouyang Kang found out about another place where cheap clothes were available, and pulled Nianfu away.

When she passed by the crape myrtle who was already in white, the surging blood had dyed her clothes and the ground beneath her red. It was impossible to save her. But she still opened her eyes wide and distracted, muttering to herself.

:

"You...why don't you believe it? She is really...a lie. We grew up together and begged together...she knows how to do it...or I taught her..."

The lingering sound was scattered in the wind, and no one could hear it.

After spending the few taels of money they had left on them, they bought Nianfu some cheap new clothes to change into. Ouyang Kang tried his best to joke for a long time, which finally cheered up Nianfu's mood.

Swallowing, she subconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes and stroked her hair. Nianfu's heart began to beat wildly. Is her father at home? Will he marry another person? Does he still remember Huai'an?

Dear mother, does he remember his unborn child?

But this... all this, originally did not belong to her, but to another girl!

Nianfu suddenly felt a little scared. Her legs began to feel weak, and she felt like an imposter. Would she be stabbed with a gun and thrown out like the girl just now?

"I said..." Nianfu felt that she still couldn't go. She had to find a place to do some mental construction first, and then it would be better to go there.

But when he spoke, Ouyang Kang had already asked passers-by, "Excuse me, how to get to Shengpingfang?"

The man looked at Ouyang Kang like a monster and walked away without saying anything.

"Why is he like this?" Young Master Ouyang was puzzled, but he asked two or three passers-by one after another. They either shook their heads and said they didn't know, or gave him a weird look and walked away quickly.

Nian Fu was a little frightened, "Not my father, but some wanted criminal, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, just wait." Asking Nianfu to hold Zixiao and wait, Ouyang Kang took out a handful of copper coins in his wallet and waved over a man who was soliciting business in front of the store and looked relatively friendly.

He handed over the money and asked with a smile, "Brother, we are from out of town. Someone asked us to send a message to our relatives in Shengpingfang, so we want to find out how to get there."

The boy weighed the coins in his hand and said, "Then I advise you not to go. I guess the person who asked you to bring the letter was just trying to trick you."

"how do I say this?"

The clerk pulled him aside and whispered, "Do you know where is next to Shengpingfang?"

Ouyang Kang shook his head.

The waiter smiled strangely, "That's Furong Pond."

Where is Furong Pond? Ouyang Kang was confused, "It's our first time here, so we really don't know. Could you please explain it more clearly?"

The waiter glanced at him sideways and said, "Do you know where it is behind the Furong Pond?" He paused for a moment before throwing out four words, "That's the Imperial Palace!" (To be continued. If you like this work,
