Chapter 20 The Old Hero
"Did we do it?" Tian Ke looked up at him.
The old beggar saw that his face was covered and his eyes were gloomy, which was really scary, so he unconsciously took a step back.
"It's...it's you. That girl's hands are full of blood, not who you are! Pay...pay!"
Tian Ke glanced at Mo Qingwan and remembered what she had just said about watching the excitement, and he suddenly understood that this was simply a show, for the purpose of extorting money.
Mo Qingwan smiled and shook his head: "You guys really didn't pick a good time when you went out to blackmail someone today, and you actually dared to blackmail him for his money."
The little daughter-in-law who was crying while sitting in the bullock cart suddenly jumped out of the bullock cart, put her hands on her hips and said: "You little bitch! Who are you trying to scare? You guys, old and young, just two young men, we
But there are more than a dozen of them, and those who know what they are doing should take out their money, or else they will keep their lives."
"Hey, brother, are you going to stop pretending now?" Mo Qingwan stood up and folded her hands on her chest.
The woman glanced at her: "You actually saw it?"
Mo Qingwan raised his lips and smiled, then looked at the boy on the ground and said, "Kid, stop pretending and get up."
Then the boy really got up and walked behind the woman, lowering his head and saying nothing.
"How did you see that? Didn't I look like I was crying just now?" the woman asked with a smile.
"It's not bad, it's so ugly to cry," Mo Qingwan replied.
"I wonder how you, a fat lady, could tell that?" The woman didn't understand.
"I am a person who is very good at reading faces. You can tell that you are a man. In this big world, women have been pregnant and giving birth since ancient times. Where can men get pregnant? How can they get pregnant in their dreams?"
Mo Qingwan spoke loudly.
The woman immediately looked at Mo Qingwan with wide eyes, but he did not deny it.
Other family members were even more shocked, even Tian Ke was stunned.
"What? That woman is a man? But... how can you tell? She is obviously a woman!" Mu covered her mouth in disbelief.
"I don't know, I didn't see it either," Zhao Feng also shook his head.
"So what if you see it? Stop talking nonsense. I'll keep the money and let you pass." The young man driving the cattle cart also jumped out of the carriage.
"This is really weird. After working for so long, this is the first time someone can tell that I am a man." Although the man's voice was deliberately loud, it was still as feminine as a woman's.
Mo Qingwan blinked twice: "Are you telling the truth or not? It's so obvious that no one can tell? That can only mean they have no eyesight."
"Then tell me what's wrong," the man asked with a smile.
"Which woman sits with her legs spread like you do? Only men can do this. In fact, I was just doubtful at first. Until I saw your big Adam's apple and the fearful look in that little beggar's eyes, I became even more sure.
, you adults, let a child come out to deceive people, and let him hurt his own body, so that you can blackmail people and make money! It's simply shameless!" Mo Qingwan cursed.
When the man heard this, he looked at the little beggar standing aside, and his eyes instantly became fierce.
The middle-aged woman also changed her expression to fierce, and snorted coldly: "Master Chun, what are you talking to her about? If you want to pass by here, leave the money to buy your life! If you don't give the money, we will kill them."
"Tian Dajin Yiwei, they are asking you for money," Mo Qingwan looked at Tian Ke.
As he said this, he winked at him vigorously, which meant that what are you still doing in a daze? Take action!
The corners of Tian Ke's lips curled up, but he didn't move. He said calmly: "They just said that the blood on that little girl's hands was not about you, so they were looking for you."
Although his face was covered, Mo Qingwan could clearly feel his amusement.
It's a pity that he couldn't beat him. He really couldn't beat him. Mo Qingwan could only clench his fist secretly.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Sir, you are really wise and mighty!"
"Young lady is so complimentary!" Tian Ke replied angrily. After saying that, he sat down on the roadside and continued to play with the jade plaque in his hand.
When Zhao Guilin saw her, he stepped forward and asked, "We are a group of exiled prisoners. Wherever there is money, it is useless for you to blackmail her."
"I have long seen that you are prisoners, but I don't understand why you don't have tattoos since you are in exile? Could it be that you are some kind of corrupt officials who used the back door?" The man named Chun Ye asked with a wicked smile.
"Although we were exiled, we did not make a huge mistake. Dog... The imperial court considered my father's military exploits and my eldest brother's death for the country, so they did not give me the punishment of tattooing my face," Zhao Guilin said.
When Master Chun heard this, he immediately widened his eyes and asked: "A man with military exploits? Who are you? What is your father's name?"
"My father is Zhao Feng, the great general of the country! We are all his family here, and this gentleman is the Jin Yiwei who escorted us into exile." Zhao Guilin said.
When the man heard this, he immediately stepped in front of Zhao Feng and saw a scar that spanned half of his face. His temperament was even more heroic.
He suddenly made fists with both hands and knelt down towards Zhao Feng, making a loud knock on his knees.
The man was still wearing a slender undershirt at the moment, which looked a little funny.
"The villain has blind eyes and cannot recognize Mount Tai. He didn't even recognize General Zhao. The old hero please accept the villain's three bows."
After Master Chun finished speaking, he kowtowed to the ground one after another. Mo Qing saw at night that all the makeup on his forehead had been rubbed off.
Seeing this, Zhao Feng stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a confused look on his face: "Get up first, you and I are strangers, why do you want to worship me?"
The Zhao family also looked at each other, not knowing why.
After the man stood up, he said with a smile: "Old hero, you fought hard for the country in the northwest for ten years, and the Major General died for the country. It was only through the kindness of you and the Major General that I was able to save my life.
How can I express my inner gratitude to you and the Major General?"
"Oh? Is there anything else like this? I really don't remember." Zhao Feng shook his head.
"Old General, my name is Fu Chun. He lives in Fujia Village, ten miles outside of Luoxia Town, under his jurisdiction. Three years ago, there was an emergency at the border. The government forced conscription. Every household had to send a male. My family
Apart from my old father, I only have one younger brother. No one can go except me.
Don’t be afraid of your jokes. I was born androgynous, and my body is weak and incompetent. I can’t lift it with my shoulders or resist it with my hands. If I go to the northwest, I will die. In order to save me, my old father sold off the farmland at home, collected twenty taels of silver, and gave it to
The official in the town wants me to stay at home."
The man recalled every word, and his expression became sad.
Zhao Feng nodded: "When you put it like that, I do remember this matter. This matter was handled by Hanlin. He seemed to say that there was a man in Luoxia Town who was born half male and half female. However, the report came from below saying that the man disobeyed orders.
Because you were afraid of death and didn't want to join the army, did you beat your father's ass at that time?" Zhao Feng asked.
Fu Chun nodded: "It is true."
"Well, a few days later, Hanlin said that a young man came to file a complaint, and every word of his statement did not seem to be a lie. He went to find out the truth personally. It turned out that the official had embezzled the money paid by your family.
Hanlin was furious, and immediately punished the official severely in accordance with the law, and also restored your innocence. Since you paid the head fee, you naturally don't have to go to the army. However, your father's death was in vain, Hanlin said.
He also left some money for your father to see a doctor." Zhao Feng recalled.
Fu Chun nodded: "What the old hero told is the truth. I was the one who complained. Those officials lied about the 20 taels of silver they paid for the greedy villain's father. They wanted money and asked me to serve as a soldier.
I also beat my father on this excuse. Poor old man was beaten to pieces and lost half his life. It happened that the Major General was ordering troops here, so I went to find the Major General to redress my grievances. The Major General is benevolent and righteous, and he is a villain.
