The leader of the acrobatic troupe shivered in fear, and tried his best to please him, his heart was extremely anxious, and the cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

Suddenly, his mind turned and he thought of something.

Let go of the child, and walked cautiously towards the boss, then waved at the big guy, motioning him to move his head over, he had something to say.

The boss moved his ear to him suspiciously, and the middle-aged man tiptoed up to his ear and whispered: "Hero, although this kid is not worth much now, he is a good embryo. You can raise him for a while before selling him." Going to that place must be more or less."

The big man became angry when he heard it, he directly lifted his collar with one hand, and said angrily: "Bastard, who do you think I am?"

How can you not understand the meaning of these words, this person is nothing like a beast.

The class leader who was suspended in mid-air was terrified. He didn't know what he said wrongly, and this person would change whatever he said.

Other people who didn't know were wondering what this man said to provoke the big man like this.

The big man who originally only wanted money suddenly changed his main focus, and said threateningly: "Both people and money must be missing, otherwise your hand will not be wanted."

Just like what the beast said, although this child looks thin, he can still tell that if his face is opened, he must be a good-looking person. Although he is not a good person, he can't see such dirty things. If this child continues to stay with this beast, he is afraid that one day he will be sold to that dirty place.

The middle-aged man babbled and looked at him in fear, but he still wanted to discuss it, so he smiled flatteringly and said, "Okay, good man, yes, can we discuss it."

The third child slowly wiped the knife in his hand, smiled horribly, and threatened: "I want to bargain, okay, it's just that I don't have eyes for a knife."

The middle-aged man trembled in fear, glanced cautiously and saw the sharp knife, frightened him desperately nodded in agreement.

"The little ones give, the little ones give."

"Hmph, if I had promised earlier, it would have been done, and I wasted so much saliva."

"Yes, yes, I know my mistake."

It was really a show of prestige for a while, but in the end he obediently agreed.

The middle-aged man is regretful, he not only needs to give money, but also people have to give, isn't it just a loss of money, if he knew this, he should have used the money to eliminate the disaster, but now it's too late to say anything.

He had already made an agreement with the old bustard that he would send him over after a while, and that was a lot of money, but now he is fine and has nothing left.

When the little boy learned that he was going to be pushed out, he was terrified. Looking at those big men who were as strong as cattle, he didn't know what was waiting for him next.

When taking out the money, the middle-aged man moved slowly, making it clear that he didn't want to pay, but several pairs of eyes were staring at him.

Seeing his slow-moving appearance, the third child felt unhappy, and deliberately sharpened his knife and made a "hoo hoo" sound as a threat.

Sure enough, after hearing the sound of sharpening the knife, he was shocked, and the speed of withdrawing the money increased many times.

This group of people simply has no law, why no one has reported to the officials now, damn it.

One of the reasons why the middle-aged man deliberately slowed down was to delay the time. He thought that there would always be someone who would report to the officials. He was the weaker side, but so far no official messengers have appeared, and there are still a group of watchmen around him. Lively people.

He didn't know it, and no one reported him to the officials. The reason was that the scene of taking the child just now angered the people.

Here, in the crowd.

Xu Lingyue and the others were also wondering if this matter was left alone?

Of course, she didn't want to sympathize with the leader of the acrobatic troupe, but felt that this phenomenon of collecting protection fees shouldn't exist, and she was so upright, so she wasn't afraid of not being caught at all.

After thinking about it, she asked the aunt next to her, purely to understand the doubts in her heart: "Auntie, why do these people collect protection fees so openly, and the government doesn't care?"

The aunt looked her up and down, and finally said: "The little girl is from another place."

She hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The aunt let out a long sigh, and explained with a sad face: "Oh, this matter has to start from a year ago, when the old magistrate returned to his hometown, and then a young magistrate came, who seemed to be surnamed Li, but it's a pity The lad is young but not long-lived."

"A year ago, something happened in our Linzhou, that is, Miss Lu's family was murdered on the day she got married. Li Zhizhou came here at that time, and specially sent someone to investigate the case, but the strange thing happened... It happened. One after another, people died on the wedding night. Some even said that the Miss Lu family came back to claim her life. Some people even saw her ghost, who often wandered in the deserted Lu Mansion. However, Li Zhizhou didn't believe it. Going to investigate, unexpectedly, the body was found in Miss Lu's boudoir before she got married the next day."

"Since then, rumors of Linzhou being haunted by ghosts have spread. Later, another Liu Zhizhou came, but after staying for a few days, he said that he saw Miss Lu's ghost and came to ask for her life. No, just I carried my luggage and left overnight."

"Perhaps it was what Liu Zhizhou said after he went back. No one dared to come to the state to be the Zhizhou. No, the position of Zhizhou is still vacant. Now the yamen is the Qi Tongzhi. This Lord Qi is a money-grubbing person. Delicious and lazy, as long as these people send some money, no one will dare to embarrass them."

After hearing what the aunt said, the two of them finally understood that they belonged to the same group at all, which is no wonder.

But it's not a solution that the position of Zhizhou has been vacant. Will His Majesty stop sending people over?
The so-called haunting is nothing more than a dirty trick, I'm afraid that Li Zhizhou died at his hands too.

Look over there again, after collecting the money, the big guys finally let the class leader go.

"You, if you don't come here, you will hang out with me from now on." The boss hooked his hands at the little boy, obviously speaking in a relatively gentle tone, but because of that fierce look, the frightened little boy didn't dare to take a breath , trembling with fear.

It took a lot of courage for the little boy to walk towards them.

He looked at them in fear, and said tremblingly: "I, I will be obedient. I only need half a steamed bun a day. I can do a lot of work, I can wash clothes, I can cook... "

The big man interrupted him, and he didn't know whether it was because of what he said, or because of his cowardly appearance, he said angrily, "Okay, shut up."

I looked him up and down and complained in my heart: With his small body, I'm afraid he will be exhausted to do so much work with half a steamed bun.

That's right, in the eyes of the big man, a child who does so much work and only eats one steamed bun is clearly abused.

Then he gave the middle-aged man a hard look, full of anger.

The middle-aged man didn't know why, and smiled apologetically.

The little boy immediately shut his mouth obediently and dared not speak any more.
