The bald king suddenly turned around and saw a half-grown boy carrying a child off the carriage. He immediately shouted, "Stealing the child!"

The carriage, which was already moving slowly as it approached the city gate, stopped immediately.

The bald king, wearing a dog-skin hat, jumped off the carriage and chased after Xiao Zhuzi.

When Xiao Zhuzi heard the shouting, he panicked. He quickly hugged Pingping and ran towards the city.

As a result, before he had run a few steps, he was blocked by the people around him, and the sound of thieves could be heard from behind him.

"How dare you steal my child, little brat! You're courting death!"

The bald king's face turned pale.

People who didn't know the truth might think that he was angry because he was worried that his son would be raped. But in fact, the Bald King was nervous and scared, and his heart was in his throat.

When he put the child into the carriage, he covered the child's mouth and nose with a handkerchief soaked in sleeping pills. Logically, the little guy would never wake up so early.

But now the person not only woke up, but also climbed out of the car window.

If he had not heard the discussions of the people around him and looked back, the child would have been taken away without anyone noticing.

Xiao Zhuzi took a few steps back while holding Pingping, and shouted, "It was you who stole the child! This is my child!"

When he shouted, the people who were watching the fun nearby were confused. They looked at the bald king with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks, and then at the handsome-looking half-grown child, and began to believe most of what Xiao Zhuzi said.

However, some people believe that ugly people are not necessarily bad people, and those with good looks may be deliberately deceiving others. For this reason, some people cannot tell who is telling the truth and who is lying.

Pingping had just come to his senses from the shock. He was hanging outside the window when someone suddenly picked him up. He hadn't realized that it was Xiaozhuzi who saved him.

At this moment, he heard a familiar voice. He looked up and saw that the person hugging him was Xiao Zhuzi. He hugged Xiao Zhuzi tightly with excitement and did not have time to react to the words of the Bald King.

"You little bastard! This is my son! You stole the child and you dare to yell at me!"

The bald king's eyes rolled, and he suddenly bowed to the crowd watching the excitement and the soldiers guarding the city gate, "Fellow villagers, please help me catch this little thief and send him to the authorities!"

When he said this, everyone saw that he dared to report to the police, and they immediately believed what he said about the child being his.

Xiao Zhuzi was young after all, and when he heard the official's words, a trace of nervousness flashed across his face.

The bald king saw the expression on Xiao Zhuzi's face and strode forward, "You're scared, little brat! Give me the child right away!"

Before he could finish his words, he reached out to grab the child.

Xiao Zhuzi quickly hid backwards.

At this time, Ping Ping finally came to his senses and pointed at the Bald King and shouted angrily: "You are the liar! This is my brother, you are the bad guy!"

He didn't see who the person was who stole him out of the mansion, but he knew that the person in front of him was not a good person!

After hearing Ping Ping's words, Lai Tou Wang's expression remained unchanged. "You stinky boy! If I didn't buy you some candied haws, you would have gotten out of the carriage. Now you're lying to your father. Come here quickly, your mother is waiting for you to come back!"

Having said that, he came forward very forcefully to snatch the person away.

When the people nearby saw this, they didn't know who was telling the truth and who was lying for a moment.

Just now, many of them saw the child climbing out of the carriage window.

Xiao Zhuzi was just a teenager, holding a child in his arms. How could he compete with the young and strong Bald King?

In addition, he was also concerned about Pingping, fearing that he would be hurt by the Bald King, so he had no advantage at all against the Bald King.

In just three or two moves, most of Pingping was taken away by the Bald King.

In a panic, Pingping found that he still had a pair of scissors in his hand, and immediately stabbed the bald king's hand.

"Ouch!" The bald king cried out in surprise, and when he looked down at his hand, he saw a hole on the back of his hand, which was bleeding!

The bald king was so angry that he pushed Pingping away.

Pingping was pushed away, but fortunately Xiao Zhuzi hugged her, otherwise she would have fallen.

More and more people gathered inside the city gate to watch the excitement, but they did not come forward. They just pointed and talked around.

"Ouch! This kid is really cruel. He actually stabbed his father with a pair of scissors. How outrageous!"

"This child may not look very old, but he has a really bad temper and a cruel heart!"

There were also people who did not believe that the Bald King was Pingping's father, and they said, "They don't look like father and son. The older child looks like he is protecting the younger one."

"It seems so. How could a child stab his father with scissors just because of a string of candied haws?"

"I think that might be the case. This little one doesn't look like that man at all!"

Just as everyone was discussing this heatedly, the soldiers guarding the city gate noticed the carriages and civilians blocking the city gate. The captain walked in with weapons in hand and shouted:

"What's going on? Go! Don't block the door!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Officer, there's a thief hurting a child, go and take a look!"

As for who the thief was, people nearby were a little unsure, but it was certain that one of the two men was bad.

The tall soldier had no intention of interfering, but when he heard that something was happening, and there were already many people blocking the carriage, he had no choice but to walk into the crowd.

When the bald king saw the officers coming, his heart began to tighten, but he remained calm.

After all, there weren't many other things in the capital, but there were many officials. What kind of officials had he not seen in the capital? Not to mention a small soldier guarding the gate.

When Xiao Zhuzi heard that the police were coming, he subconsciously panicked. It was not because he felt guilty, but as a country boy, he was naturally in awe of the police.

"What's going on?" The team leader came over and glanced at Xiao Zhuzi, the other man, and the Bald King.

The bald king came forward with an apologetic smile on his face and calmly stuffed a silver ingot into the captain's hand.

"Sir, it's alright. The boy is just being rude and angry with me! Let's go now! Let's go now!"

The captain felt the silver and his expression relaxed. He then shouted to the other onlookers and Xiao Zhuzi, "Hurry up and leave! If you keep blocking the road, we'll arrest you all!"

"Hey! Hey! Let's go now!" The bald king walked to Xiao Zhuzi and stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Zhuzi.

When the bald king saw that Xiao Zhuzi looked frightened, he thought that this silly boy was frightened by the officials, so he planned to take this opportunity to get both of them into the carriage. After leaving the city, wouldn't he have the final say?

Although Xiao Zhuzi was scared at this time, he was not stupid enough. Of course, he would not follow anyone foolishly after being frightened like this.

Before the Bald King's big hand could catch them, he turned around and ran with Pingping in his arms.

When the bald king saw that Xiao Zhuzi dared to run with the child in his arms, his face turned green. He looked apologetic and wanted to chase him, but he was concerned about the carriage blocking the door, so he smiled at the captain and said, "Sir, this... please..."

As he said this, he suppressed his pain and stuffed another piece of silver into the captain's hand.

He couldn't make much money from this trip just by selling children, so the main reason was that the reward given there was high.

The captain weighed the silver in his hand calmly, waved to the two soldiers behind him, and said, "Bring those two children back."

"Thank you very much, officer. Thank you very much, officer!" The bald king said with a smile on his face.

The captain didn't care at all.

If it were a soldier guarding the gate of another small county, he would certainly not be so easy to talk to.

But where is this?

Beijing!

Any piece of it that falls down could hit several high-ranking officials.

These gatekeepers not only have to be tactful, but most importantly, they cannot offend anyone.

Even if they were just some common people, who knew if they were servants in some mansion, or poor relatives of some high-ranking official?

They are just some gatekeepers, and most of their families have no background. If they offend anyone, they will be in big trouble.

What's more, although this guy looks ugly, he is actually very generous. For the team leader, there is nothing wrong in doing him a favor.

Soon, Xiao Zhuzi and Pingping were captured by two soldiers.

At this time, the Bald King had driven the carriage out of the city and stopped it on the roadside, waiting for the man to be caught, and then he would drive away immediately.
