Chapter 10 Good Official
"Old man, don't you ask if you don't know when you need to spend money on your food. If you want to eat, you will have a blessing for you. You even want me to give you some money. Are you tired of living?"
One of the rascals stumbled on his nose and said arrogantly.
This person is nicknamed Erlaizi. Everyone is used to calling him Erlaizi, and they have forgotten his real name.
This Erlaizi usually does some stealing activities. The few people he and he has a similar smell to him, and he is a famous rogue in the neighborhood.
It is common to not pay for food.
Anyone who dares to ask him for money will be furious and kicked, so that nearby vendors dare not speak out.
This old man Yang is carrying a load to sell osmanthus cakes here for the first time. I wonder if these rascals are so powerful.
"Masters, this is a small business. I don't have much to make any effort. You can do it, so give me some more!"
Old Yang was full of begging, and his hunched body made him look older.
I can’t make a lot of money by selling osmanthus cakes. These guys even took food and took it. There was not much left in this load of osmanthus cakes. I didn’t earn more than a dozen copper coins today and I went back. I didn’t have the capital to make osmanthus cakes tomorrow. The whole family had to drink the northwest wind.
Erlaizi has been arrogant and domineering for a long time, and when he saw that Old Yang dared to ask for it, he suddenly became angry.
"Old guy, get out of here, or I will beat you up!"
At the same time, Erlaizi rolled up his sleeves and acted like he would take action after a disagreement, which made Old Yang frightened.
My son died of being a soldier on the battlefield in his early years, and his daughter-in-law died of illness. The only one left was his wife and three-year-old grandson in the family, so he was counting on buying osmanthus cakes and earning some money to live.
If you can't get back some money today, the whole family can get through hungry at night, but you won't have any money to buy flour tomorrow.
Even if I get beaten today, I have to get some money back, and the minimum capital will be back.
Although the people around him sympathized with the experience of Mr. Yang, no one stood up to uphold justice, and no one dared to say a few justice.
These ruffians are famous for being bad. If you offend them, you won’t be able to have a stable life in the future.
A few kind passers-by did not dare to condemn these thugs, but just advised Mr. Yang to admit that he was unlucky and not to bother with these thugs to ask for money, so as not to be beaten in vain.
Seeing everyone's performance, Erlaizi and others couldn't help but feel proud. This feeling of being so arrogant made them enjoy it.
At this moment, Old Yang met Zhang Haotian, who was embroidered with a silver-gray official uniform with a spring sword on his waist, which made Old Yang in a desperate situation seem to have seen a life-saving straw.
Before he thought about whether it was feasible, he heard Mr. Yang shouting with all his strength: "Official, please be fair to the old man!"
When they heard Old Yang shouting for help, Erlaizi's group of ruffians changed their faces, and they also saw Zhang Haotian's outfit.
Those who can roam on the streets of the capital need to be very eye-catching. They know who can bully them, and those who must never offend them.
In Zhang Haotian's outfit, they recognized Zhang Haotian's identity, the commander of the Evil Control Department, the sixth rank official, and a real-powerful official with soldiers.
They can only bully ordinary people.
Not to mention the sixth-rank lieutenant of the Evil Guard, even ordinary yamen servants cannot offend them.
What's more, this lieutenant of the Evil Suppression Division was so stunning that his arms were thicker than his thighs. If he slapped them over, he would slap them to death.
The osmanthus cake they just picked up at the stall can only put down their things at this time.
Before Zhang Haotian could hear the voice, he heard it, shouting and said, "What's going on?"
Seeing this burly and fierce official sentiment coming over, Old Yang felt scared, but at this time he could only bite the bullet and say, "This old man, Old Man does some business, they..."
Pointing at the thugs around him, Old Yang was so angry that he said, "It's fine if they don't pay for food, but they even snatched all the remaining flower cakes I had, and didn't give a penny to the little old man. He also asked the official to preside over the justice of the little old man!"
When Zhang Haotian turned his attention to Erlaizi and others, these people could still remain calm.
Erlaizi pretended to be angry and said, "Sir, don't listen to his nonsense. It's obvious that this old man owes us the money. We brothers are here to ask for the debt. If he doesn't pay it back, there is no way for brothers to have nothing to do, so we can only use his things to pay off the debt."
"That's right, it's natural to pay back the money. This old man is too unauthorized. He has been owed for several months and hasn't paid a penny."
"We also used his things to pay off our debts in a helpless manner."
"We are a civilized debt, but we didn't hit anyone!"
The other few ruffians spoke, saying it was really true.
"You...you..."
Old Yang was so anxious that tears were almost coming out. He didn't expect these two rascals to be so nonsense.
It was obvious that they didn’t give money to eat or to eat, but now they slandered themselves for owing them money. How could they be so unconscientious in life?
Afraid that Zhang Haotian misunderstood, Old Man Yang hurriedly said to Zhang Haotian: "Sir, don't listen to his nonsense. Old Man doesn't owe them money at all!"
Zhang Haotian ignored this old man Yang, but looked at the group of thugs with cold eyes.
Being stared at Zhang Haotian's cold gaze, the group of ruffians instantly sweated from their foreheads, and even their calves trembled.
Especially now that Zhang Haotian pressed the sword hanging behind him with one hand, the leopard on the official uniform looked extremely ferocious in Erlaizi's eyes.
Now Erlaizi and the others are even more tormented than the ants on the hot pan. When they talk, their teeth trembled unconsciously: "Big... Sir, I..."
The evil name of the Evil War is beyond the name. If you offend the Evil War, not only will you not survive by yourself, but you may also have to implicate your family and friends.
Although Erlaizi is a rascal and doesn't care about his family's life or death, they care about their lives very much.
Erlaizi and the others were staring so hard that their nerves were almost broken. The eyes of this evil-controlling commander could kill people!
When his legs became weak, Erlaizi and the others knelt down and begged for mercy: "Sir, we are wrong. We will never dare to pay for food or take it again. Next time, you will never dare to spare us in large quantities!"
"I paid the money twice, and let my lieutenant see you doing something wrong on this street in the future. I lieutenant break your legs!"
"Yes, yes, we'll pay now, double the amount!"
Erlaizi hurriedly took out two taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Mr. Yang, which was only a little more or less.
"Too much, too much..." Old Yang didn't dare to charge so much money.
"If you ask you to keep it, you will keep it. There is so much nonsense!"
Zhang Haotian glared at his eyes, and Old Yang was so scared that he obediently accepted Erlaizi's money.
I feel moved in my heart.
This adult looks fierce and is a good official!
