Li Laoer has already changed into his official uniform in Mr. Wen's courtyard. He is now wearing a duck egg blue quilted robe with a jade pendant hanging from his waist. It cannot be said that he is extremely rich, but at least he is not shabby.
Even if the beggars and gangsters on the street want to be bullied, they dare not provoke him like this.
Therefore, when he was suddenly knocked down and sat down on the ground, Li Laoer was still a little dazed. His tailbone was sore and numb, and he couldn't get up for a long time.
He raised his head in annoyance, and just as he was about to curse, he met a pair of big panicked eyes.
The owner of the eyes was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman with disheveled hair, a dirty face, and a very panicked expression.
She also held an eight or nine-year-old boy in her hand, with a sallow complexion and thin muscles. He seemed to be in a daze and was trying to stop crying. He was very pitiful.
"You?" Li Laoer didn't know what to say. He stood up and tried his best to endure the pain and asked, "Who are you? The street is so crowded, how can you run like crazy?"
The woman struggled to get up. , while looking back, she hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, sir, we were not careful!"
As she spoke, she helped the boy up again, but unfortunately the boy couldn't stand firmly and almost fell down.
Only then did Li Laoer realize that the boy's legs were hanging strangely, giving him no strength, and the exposed calf in the trouser leg that was half missing was swollen and unsightly, and it was obviously... broken.
He didn't want to pursue it, but now seeing that these two people seemed anxious, he got out of the way.
"You go, be careful."
The woman quickly thanked them, but before they could take a step, four or five farm men suddenly appeared from the street not far away, each carrying hemp ropes and bricks. At a glance, When they saw the woman and the boy, they ran towards them like menaces.
The woman was so frightened that she tried to run away with the boy on her back, but was quickly caught.
The man in front of him ignored Li Laoer, raised the brick in his hand and threw it at the woman.
"You bitch, if you run away, I'll beat you to death!"
The boy lying on the woman's back screamed and stood up, protecting the woman under him.
The green brick hit him directly on the head, and bright red blood started to flow down!
"Brother!" The woman didn't care about anything. She pulled off the unconscious boy and cried loudly, "Brother, brother!"
Not only did the men not stop, but they rushed forward to face the woman and continued to punch and kick her.
The leading man pinched the bloody brick and was still cursing, "Kick me to death, you don't know how to praise me!
" I have arranged a good way out for you, as if I have tricked you and raised you for three years in vain. , such a beast might as well be beaten to death! "
The woman hunched over her body, trying her best to protect her younger brother. Even though fists and kicks rained down on her, she did not give way at all.
Passers-by were shocked by such a sudden change. In broad daylight, even the servants at home were shocked. He didn't do it so casually and beat him to death!
Some people wanted to help, but these people looked too ferocious and hesitated for a moment.
Li Laoer was also so shocked that he didn't react for a long time. After all, when he was fleeing from famine, people cannibalize people. It was not so bloody.
He squinted his eyes slightly and felt a little wary.
Xindu was so big, but things happened suddenly in front of his eyes...
He wanted to wait and see what would happen, but unfortunately, the woman was beaten badly. After all, he couldn't protect his younger brother and fell to the ground. The boy's head and one arm were exposed.
A man laughed ferociously, stepped on the back of the boy's hand hard and pushed it to the ground.
The boy woke up in pain and opened his eyes, covered in blood. His eyes were closed, full of despair and pain.
This was just an ignorant child, the same size as Brother Cat. Brother Cat is studying in the academy, protected by his brothers and cared for by his uncles and aunts.
But this child was so humiliated and beaten so severely!
Li Laoer closed his eyes hard, and when he opened them again, he shouted, "Stop!"
The men who were beating him were startled and turned around to look at Li. The second child, seeing that he was well-dressed, didn't dare to curse. He just asked with a cold face, "Who are you, minding your own business!"
"Who am I?" Li Laoer strode forward and pushed. A few men opened up, protected the women and children behind them, and yelled loudly, "I am just an ordinary passerby. In broad daylight, you are so fierce and cruel, beating women and children. Do you still have the law in your eyes?"
The rest ? When passers-by saw someone coming forward, they all responded, "That's right, if you have something you can't talk about, you must take action! How young is this child? How can he still survive with so much blood on his head?"
Several big men looked bad. , the leader among them shouted, "What does it have to do with you whether you die or not! I am their uncle, their parents are dead, I am their god, what can I do if I kill them?"
Uncle?
Everyone frowned.
Tianwu governs the country with filial piety. We don't talk about ordinary people, let's talk about the palace. The Queen Mother is not the emperor's biological mother, so the emperor still has to show courtesy.
The Queen Mother has interfered in the government affairs for so many years. It can be said that Tianwu has retreated to the south of the Yangtze River. The Queen Mother must bear at least half of the responsibility, but the Emperor still cannot do anything to the Queen Mother.
If the parents of these two siblings were dead, they should really listen to their uncle and not resist even if they were beaten and scolded...
The woman sat up with support, still stretched out her arms to protect her brother, and retorted with a sad smile, "You're talking nonsense. , you are just my cousin! My parents are dead, my grandma is dead, but I still have a younger brother! In order to swallow up my yard and fields, you beat us to death.
"Today you are going to send us even more Hualou, let me be the flower girl and let my brother be the turtle father! I sold the money to pay off your debt! You are worse than a pig or a dog! You are the beast! "
After saying that, she was probably so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground. It was obvious that she had been beaten so badly just now that her heart was hurt.
When everyone heard this, they all pitied the siblings and shouted.
"It's really not true . Oh my god, this is going to make a huge fortune!
"What a desperate family! They still have a kid! " This is obviously to kill people and steal money!
"It's so wicked. There's no such thing as bullying! " "
The men felt a little guilty when they heard that. They gritted their teeth and stepped forward, trying to pull the siblings away.
"Okay, it was just uncle who was wrong. He struck hard because he was angry. Come on, we have something to talk about when we go home. "
But the two siblings actually had a tacit understanding, and they both pulled off Li Laoer's trousers and said, "No, if you sell us, we won't go back with you even if we die!"
The leading man became anxious and held the hand in his hand. The brick was about to be smashed down again, but Li Laoer pushed it away.
"If you dare to do anything again, I will report it to the official!" I'm suing you for murder! According to the law of Tianwu, even a slave cannot be lynched casually without a death contract! What's more, they are just family members! "
After that, he took out a dime of silver from his wallet and asked everyone, "Which brother is willing to help me go to the government office and call the official? "
"I! "
"I go!
"I know the way! " "
Immediately, three or four people raised their hands and stepped forward to take over the job.
