After walking around the street enough, seeing that the time was almost up, Wang Qi was ready to go back home.As soon as he turned the corner of the street, he heard the sound of beating and cursing not far away, and when he looked up, it was Jia Fugui and his group beating a child.

The child looked only eight or nine years old, and naturally he was no match for several young and strong adult men. He had already been restrained by one of the dog legs, and he was firmly pressed to the ground so that Jia Fugui could punch and kick him.

This commotion was not small, and there were already many people on the street, which had already attracted many people to stop.People just watched from a distance, but no one dared to step forward to help.

In the previous life, when Wang Qi was the young master of the Wang family, she always went in and out by carriage, and seldom wandered the streets alone.After rebirth, it is rare to go shopping like this.He simply dressed inconspicuously today. Although there were people coming and going on the street, most of them were busy with their own affairs, and now they were even more attracted by the movement in front of them, and no one paid attention to him.

Wang Qi covered her nose and mouth with a thick cloak, and stood low-key behind the crowd, paying attention to the movement in front of her, while listening to the whispers around her calmly.

"Isn't that kid the grandson of Grandma Ma who sells rice cakes across from the theater? What's going on? Why did Jia Fugui beat him?" asked a delivery boy.

The waiter in the teahouse who stood watching the excitement said, "It was the kid who attacked Jia Fugui with a brick first."

"Why is that?" the delivery boy was surprised.Jia Fugui was a well-known bully in the county, everyone wanted to avoid him, why did the kid provoke him?

"I heard that two days ago, Jia Fugui took a group of people to the theater to listen to an opera. Not only did they eat rice cakes from Mrs. Ma for nothing, but they also asked for money. Mrs. Ma said they had no money, so they smashed his stall. Mrs. My wife was busy taking care of her grandson, and she was also injured, so I haven't seen her out of the stall for the past few days. Maybe it's because of this incident." The waiter at the teahouse said.

"It's really shameless. Isn't this bullying the orphans and widows?" The delivery boy said angrily.

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let them hear you." Unexpectedly, the young man's voice was so loud, the man was really frightened.

Seeing that the child had been beaten badly, the boy who delivered the goods couldn't stand it any longer. He hurriedly put down the cart in his hand and said, "No, I have to stop it. If you beat the child again, the child will be killed."

The waiter at the teahouse hurriedly stopped him and persuaded him: "It's not that we are cruel. This Jia Fugui's younger sister is the concubine of the second son of the Wang family, and she is very favored. The second son of the Wang family is also the brother of the county magistrate's son. She has power and power. Even the shopkeeper of our family dare not offend, let alone you and me. It’s fine to scold in your heart, but you can’t be a big-headed fly to get ahead.”

"Yes, yes. It seems that the goods you are pulling should also belong to the Wang family. If you are in the early stage, you will be beaten for nothing, and you may lose your meal job. It is not worth it." The other people around were also kind. Persuade.

Thinking of his old mother who was sick in bed waiting to use the money, and his young siblings, the young man gritted his teeth and finally did not stand up.But he couldn't bear to continue watching, and pushed the cart away.

As soon as he left, several people couldn't stand it anymore and followed him.

Looking at Jia Fugui who was cursing not far away, Wang Qi couldn't help frowning.

In his last life, he vaguely heard that Jia Fugui was involved in a life lawsuit, which was covered up by his cousin Wang Long, who paid the county magistrate with money.If something happened to Wang Long, the rest of the Wang family would keep it from him and not let him know, for fear that he would make a joke.He also doesn't take the initiative to inquire, so he doesn't know much.I just don't know if this child was the life in Jia Fugui's hands back then.If so, it would be quite arrogant to beat someone to death in public, and it's no wonder that the Wang family will fall in the end.

Wang Qi remembered that when he was 25 years old, that is, eight years later, the Wang family, which had always been lawless in Pingyao Town, suddenly collapsed overnight.The second uncle and Wang Long were imprisoned, and soon died in prison.All Wanguan's family wealth was confiscated, and Jia Fugui was dragged directly to Caishikou to be quartered. Even the county magistrate who had been promoted and the family of the third uncle who was married were implicated.

And because he was kicked out by the Wang family for many years, he left Pingyao County a long time ago, changed his name and changed his surname to live a new life, and unexpectedly escaped by accident.It has been half a year since I heard the news.

The Wang family is rich and powerful, and they are already envied, but they don't know how to restrain themselves, and even allow Jia Fugui to dominate Pingyao County.The people in the county had a deep grudge against them, so this downfall would naturally be the result of everyone pushing the wall down.As for the reason for the downfall of the Wang family, the official statement was that they were collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country and disregarding human life.

This reason is really too far-fetched, it's okay to deceive ordinary people, but Wang Qi doesn't believe it.He knows how his second uncle and his cousin are. They have studied for most of their lives. Although they worship high and low, their characters are extremely poor, and they are a little clever, but they know how to measure, never cross the line, and just slip around. disgusting people.If it is speculative, bullying and bullying ordinary people, and someone is covering them, they will naturally have nothing to fear.But if they are attached to rebellion and rebellion, they definitely don't have that much courage.

Besides, since Dingbei Hou Zhouying defeated the northern dog army in one fell swoop outside Shanhaiguan more than ten years ago, there has been no trouble in the north.Today, there are three princes in Daliang State, Dingbei, Pingnan, and Zhengxi, who are powerful all over the world.Although there were one or two wars in the next few years, the scale was not large.Pingyao County is located in the Central Plains, and the Wang family's business has not extended to the border, so what enemy can we get through?

In short, the matter of the Wang family is too big, and there are many people involved.Although he was lucky enough to escape, the government obviously did not intend to let him slip through the net. Notices and rewards for Wang Qi's capture were posted everywhere in Pingyao County.

Wang Qi was afraid of doom, and she didn't dare to go back to Pingyao County. She could only secretly find someone to make Yinzi ask the higher authorities to see if she could find out the real reason why the Wang family was convicted.

It's a pity that everyone kept this secret. In the end, he just knew that the second uncle and the others seemed to have offended some important person in the capital, and that was the worst.

Wang Qi has always found it puzzling.Although the Wang family is rich, it is limited to Pingyao County, and it is not so rich that it can rival a country. After all, they are merchants.Besides, the third uncle's father-in-law had passed away at that time, and the third uncle was also sent down to serve as a local official. The Wang family had nowhere to go in the capital.Even if he has something to do with the big shots in the capital, Yi Ershu and Wang Long are so slick and flattering, it's too late to curry favor, so is it possible to offend them?

He didn't hesitate to take the whole Wang family to the pot, and even the people who made friends with him would not be spared.If there is no overwhelming hatred, it is absolutely impossible to be so ruthless and decisive.

"Damn it, who gave you the guts to hit me with a brick?" Jia Fugui's scolding accompanied by sharp applause pulled Wang Qi back from his thoughts.

After repeatedly scraping the child's ears several times, Jia Fugui was still puzzled to see his mouth and nose bleeding.

In fact, in the past, after earning a large sum of money, Jia Fugui would generally be in a good mood.But if you want to blame it, you can blame the money earned today is really useless.

With the good painting in his hand, Jia Fugui thought he could resell it for a good price.It's a pity that despite all his calculations, he ran into a fleeting disadvantage.Dong Jue from Gu Baozhai refused to accept such a precious painting.It's fine if he doesn't accept it, he can continue to find another home.After leaving Gubaozhai, Jia Fugui turned around and swaggered into the door of Zhenbao Pavilion on the opposite side.

But the shopkeeper of the Zhenbao Pavilion was more of a thief. He should have seen him come out of Gubaozhai, knew that he had been shut down inside, and forced 800 taels of silver into 300 taels.

In Pingyao County, apart from Gubaozhai, the only ones that could afford Old Man Zhang's paintings were Zhenbao Pavilion, and the shopkeeper probably decided to lower the price desperately because of this.

This painting was "borrowed" by him in the first place, and he sold it as soon as he could, and it was a net profit for any amount of money sold.But Jia Fugui just couldn't swallow this fuss.

There was a fire here when a half-grown child attacked him with a brick.After nearly getting a big bump on his head, Jia Fugui finally exploded, just in time to catch the child venting his anger.What's even more hateful is that the child was obviously beaten to death, but he was holding on, without even a word of begging for mercy.This made Jia Fugui even more furious.

"You fucking dare to stare at me. Believe it or not, I'll dig out your eyeballs." Almost vomiting blood from the child's unruly gaze/anger, Jia Fugui raised his leg and gave the child a kick, and directly slapped the child in the mouth. face.

Rolling up his sleeves, Jia Fugui wanted to continue.Fortunately, he still had a little bit of apprehension. He caught a glimpse of many people watching, so he abruptly stopped his movements, and gave the attendants around him a wink, signaling them to take the child away. Taking care of this little bastard, he must cry for his father and mother, begging for mercy on his knees.

The child had already been injured. If Jia Fugui took him away, it would be a disaster, and everyone around him panicked.Wang Qi stood still, not thinking about saving others.

It can't be blamed on Wang Qi's cruel heart. After so many years of hard life, she is used to the fickleness and bleakness of the world, and she has long since cultivated a heart that is getting harder and harder.Wang Qi didn't like to meddle in other people's business, what's more, now he needs to hide his strength and bide his time, so as not to conflict with Jia Fugui on the surface.

Besides, with so many people watching right now, if the child really died, Jia Fugui would definitely be involved.Even if Wang Long passed through the county magistrate's pass, it would not be able to block the mouth of Youyou in Pingyao County, but it would be convenient for him to make a fuss about it, and maybe he could use this incident to drag Wang Long into the water together.

Although it is wrong to see death without saving people, it can be seen that there are many people who die without saving people, and he has no responsibility to save people.Wang Qi didn't feel any uneasiness or guilt in her heart, she just watched the development of the situation leisurely, thinking about various ways to make use of it.

"Second Master Jia, I think this kid has some bones. He has a temper and looks good. Why don't you go to the Xiaoyao Pavilion. He is not too old or too young at his age. He is just right for him." Staring at the child's face , one of the dog legs said in an extremely wretched way.

Others don't know what the three words "Xiaoyaoguan" mean, but Wang Qi knows it all.It was a prostitute's place in Pingyao County, which specially provided prostitutes for some people who liked alternatives, that is, some young boys and girls.

As for how Wang Qi knew about this place, it is also very bitter to say.In the previous life, he was expelled from the royal family. He was penniless and had no other means of earning a living. In order to eat, he could only pick up a pen to write and sell paintings.

It's a pity that the business in this line is already sluggish, and Jia Fugui often sends people to smash his stall, so that no one dares to come to his door.When he was desperate, Wang Qi could only put aside his scholarly integrity and secretly draw some erotic pictures for brothels to make ends meet.It was also at that time that I overheard about the Xiaoyao Pavilion, but I didn't expect that Jia Fugui had already been in contact with such a dirty place.

Sure enough, Jia Fugui also knew that this place was a shameful place, so he slapped the servant on the head and scolded: "Keep your fucking voice down, with such a loud voice, you're knocking on the gong."

The attendant also knew that his mouth was not in the right place, so he quickly admitted his mistake obediently, took the opportunity to look around, and found that the onlookers didn't pay attention at all, so he was relieved.

Scolding is all right, but Jia Fugui obviously listened to what the servant said, there is no place worse than Xiaoyaoguan, not to mention there is money to be made, and the price is not low.Looking at the child's unwilling face, Jia Fugui showed a wretched smile.

Seeing Jia Fugui's expression, it was obvious that he intended to send the child to Xiaoyao Hall, but Wang Qi's heart sank.He didn't think he was a good man or woman, but he really couldn't bear to have such a young child be insulted like that.

After deliberating for a moment, Wang Qi smiled wryly again because of her soft heart.He slowly pushed aside the person in front of him, and took a few steps forward.

Jia Fugui was dragging the child away with his servants around him. Unfortunately, the child seemed to have sensed the danger, and kept writhing and struggling, kicking and hitting him. Mud print.

Although the child's strength was small, he tried his best, and there was nothing he could do for a while.The little patience left in his heart was wiped out. Jia Fugui was about to knock the child unconscious and take him away. A dog leg saw Wang Qi in the crowd, and quietly pulled Raja Fugui's clothes corner, motioning him to look over there.

Seeing Wang Qi's face, Jia Fugui frowned, and then kicked the child to the ground, cursing: "Unlucky." After speaking, he ignored the child, turned around and left.
