Moshan Village doesn't look like a village, it is next to the post station, with a thriving population and quite prosperous.

There were only a few families here, but because of the construction of post stations and roads, many people from all over the world gradually gathered. They settled down when they came, and got along with each other unhappily with the bad qualities that cannot be changed everywhere.

Therefore, Moshan Village is also in chaos.

It is common for people to quarrel if they can't agree on a few words, and others are not used to seeing fights.The only point is that these little commoners who are fighting for warm food maintain a delicate balance, so that they will not use heavy hands and completely tear their faces.

Recently, the beggars in the village have gotten into a bad habit somewhere, chasing people for money with a broken bowl, picking up stones on the side of the road and throwing them at people if they don't give.Someone who disliked the beggar pressed the beggar to the ground, fisting and kicking.However, after being taught a lesson, the beggar didn't know how to repent, and even asked for more money.

"Go away..."

At the door of the store that reads 'Fuyuan Store' on a door plaque, there was a callous beggar sitting with a stern face.The beggar had come several times, and it was the first time he stepped on the threshold, and even knocked on the counter, holding the broken bowl under the shopkeeper's nose, asking for a small amount of money.When he was about to cross the threshold for the second time, he was stopped by the waiter yelling at him.

This time, it's the third time.

The angry waiter brandished a broom and blocked the door to drive away the beggars.

But this beggar put on an appearance that he would not leave unless he was given money, stickier than bullshit plaster, hugging the stone lion outside the door, and refused to let go no matter what.

When a businessman opens the door to do business, the picture is auspicious.With this beggar at the door, with a stench all over, passers-by are scared away, who wants to come in?

The waiter in the shop is in his prime of life, tall, strong, and a person who can't control his temper.He was furious at the beggar's shameless behavior, rolled up his sleeves, raised his hard fist, and moved towards the beggar's face without any explanation.

The beggar was ragged, unkempt, could not see his face clearly, could not distinguish his age, and held his head for defense, but was still beaten with nosebleeds and screamed again and again.

Passers-by stopped at a distance and formed a half-circle, all looking interested in watching the excitement, but none of them stepped forward to stop it.

On the contrary, the store manager heard the sound, and when he saw the situation, he folded his chest and looked at it for a moment, and then slowly said: "Sun Bian, hit me lightly, don't cause trouble."

Hearing the words, Bian Bian, the youngest boy in the shop, slowly withdrew his hand, and finally kicked the beggar hard, feeling puzzled.

The beggar let out a loud cry, raised his eyelids halfway, and spat out a mouthful of blood.It seems that because of this beating, he finally became aware, rolling all over the ground, rolling further and further away.

Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, the onlookers dispersed in a rush, leaving only two people staying where they were, and they couldn't believe what happened just now.

One of them was a little shorter, a young man in expensive clothes, with a childish face, but there was a kind of indescribable majesty in his words: "Seventeen, is this all the ways of the people?"

The man called Seventeen, dressed in plain gray clothes, was clean and tidy, led two horses, bowed his body, and looked very respectful to the young man, saying: "Young Master Li, the matter of beating and scolding beggars in the street is something that the capital city is not responsible for." Yes, as for other places, I don’t know very well.”

This young man is He Li, and Shi Qi is the selected accompanying bodyguard.The two rode on horseback, galloping all the way, and in just one day, they ran hundreds of miles and came to Moshan Village.

At this time, the night was about to fall, and it was not suitable to continue on the road, so I stopped.But just as he dismounted, he saw a farce.

He Li said: "Go and send some silver taels to the beggar. He is injured and must have no money to see a doctor. By the way, you can buy some food and send it there."

Seventeen reasons: "Prime Minister Yuan explained that he would not let Mr. Li spend money indiscriminately. He also said that there are countless poor people in the countryside, and they cannot be rescued with a little money. And they are leaking money outside..."

He Li couldn't help but interrupted: "You can go if you are told. As for the rest, I have my own discretion."

The boy's gentle voice, a soft reprimand made the man half a head taller than him tremble slightly.

Due to the status and courage of the master in front of him, Shi Qi had no choice but to throw aside Prime Minister Yuan's instructions, hesitated for a moment, and chased after the beggar in the direction he left in embarrassment.

Heli originally wanted to stand where he was and wait for Shiqi to come back, but found that he was standing in the middle of the road, blocking the road, and was just about to move, but unexpectedly, a basin of water suddenly poured over him, instantly soaking his trousers.

"Oh, young master, I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry..."

The shop waiter who had just hit someone was no longer fierce, and put on a cowardly shyness. He ran over and bowed to apologize. clothes.

He Li took a step back in shock, and hurriedly said: "You were just not careful, it's okay, don't wipe it."

The waiter in the shop chuckled, he really didn't want to wipe it anymore, and threw the dripping rag over his shoulder, not caring that his clothes were wet with water, he flattered him and said: "This young man has come from a long way, why don't you go into the small shop to rest for a while?" , we have food and drink here, and the portion is full."

He Li didn't like people's flattery and flattery, and waved his hands to refuse, but the shop waiter took their horses first, and went to the back door of the shop, and said as he walked: "I will tie the horses to the stable for the young master, so that your horses will have enough food and drink." Enough, tomorrow morning, I will be full of energy to send you on your way."

The shopkeeper also came out to say hello at this time, and upon hearing Xiao Er's words, he scolded: "Sun Bian, if you don't know how to talk, talk less, no one will think you are dumb."

Turning around, he said courteously to Heli: "Young master, please come inside."

The kindness is hard to turn down, so He Li had no choice but to follow their wishes.

Fortunately, the shop was clean, and there was only a little dust on the simple wooden table. He Li thought about going out, so he shouldn't be too fussy, but before he sat down, the discerning shopkeeper picked up his cuff and wiped it clean.

The shopkeeper said: "My son is dressed in brocade clothes, so he must have been born in a noble family. We are honored to be able to visit the small shop. Just now, the young couple has nothing to hide. If you offend me, please forgive me."

He Li stared at his black sleeves, stunned for a moment, and said, "Forget it, I didn't take it to heart."

The shopkeeper said with a sneer, "My lord, there are a lot of them."

When ordering food, He Li was still thinking about the shopkeeper's unwashed clothes. Although he was exhausted and hungry, he could no longer whet his appetite, so he had to choose a few dishes randomly.

When Xiao Er went to the back kitchen, He Li looked at the door, and Shi Qi might not come back in a while, so he was bored and looked at this 'Fu Yuan shop'.

There are two floors in the store, the first floor is the canteen, which is naturally a place for people to eat and dine.At this moment, apart from He Li, there were two or three people sitting sparsely. Although the food on the table was steaming, it couldn't hide the desertedness in the shop.

There are several rooms on the second floor, with the doors tightly closed, it is not known what they are used for.

"Originally, our Fuyuan store was a small business, but unfortunately the business was not good, so it was changed into an inn, and people lived in the store. But as you can see, the business is still difficult to do, and there are not many customers."

The shop waiter rushed out from the back kitchen, poured a cup of hot white water, rolled his eyes, and said again: "It's getting dark outside, young master, do you want to stay in the shop?"

A businessman is a businessman. After a few sighs, he can immediately get back to the topic.

He Li said: "No need, there is a station ahead..."

The waiter couldn't help but raise his voice and said: "The station? The young master came from the capital? Could it be some official's young master?"
