How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 28 A Gentleman Can Be Killed, Not Humiliated
Before Qian Laifu could think of what to say, Xiao Gousheng said, "Hey, you guys can't be there. If you're watching, he'd rather kill himself than give in. Right, Grandpa?"

What else could Qian Laifu say? All he could say was yes.

Xiao Gou Sheng looked at the leading man and said, "Find a place for my grandfather. Come back after he's trained him." If she did everything she said, these men would definitely suspect her. She needed to get the man under her control first, and then figure out how to escape.

After listening to what Xiaogou Sheng said, the leading man thought for a moment and then lifted the injured man onto the horse's back. "Old Dao, you take the old man. Old Wan, you take the kid."

Lao Dao and Lao Wan dismounted and carried Qian Laifu and Xiao Gousheng onto the horse's back.

Qian Laifu: "..." Dad, you must bless me and Gousheng.

Little Dog Sheng: "..." Hopefully, these people won't take her and her granddaughter to their lair. If they go back to their lair, then... then she'll only be able to tell that guy the stories of Han Xin crawling between someone's legs and Goujian tasting gall.

In the blink of an eye, the men on horseback, carrying the injured man and Qian Laifu and his grandson, disappeared without a trace.

The beggars who remained standing were speechless. What just happened? Did they miss a good opportunity?

The beggars were extremely depressed.

"Where did that little beggar come from?"

"I'm going to beat him up next time I see him. Twenty taels!"

"I'm going to beat her up too."

"I also want."

……

Over here, the beggars all said they wanted to beat up Gou Sheng.

On the other side, the leader led Gou Sheng and his grandson to an abandoned house. "You can train him here; there's no one around."

After saying that, the leader threw the injured man to the ground and was about to leave.

The little dog quickly said, "Wait, you have to give us some silver first. We need to buy tools."

The leader tossed Qian Laifu a five-tael silver ingot and left with his men.

Qian Laifu looked at the silver ingot in his hand, then at the man on the ground.

The man on the ground remained motionless.

The little dog rubbed his hands together. "Grandpa, let's carry him inside first, then put some medicine on him. Once he wakes up, we'll ask him what his relationship with those people is."

"Okay. You don't need to move, Grandpa will carry him inside."

"also."

Qian Laifu bent down to pull the man on the ground, but he couldn't budge him. He had to squat down to get the man onto his back.

As Qian Laifu carried the man inside, he thought to himself: This kid looks skinny, but I didn't expect him to be so heavy.

On the other side, Wang Yong, who was closest to the leader, couldn't help but ask, "Boss, are we just leaving like this?"

"if not?"

"Aren't you afraid they'll run off with your money?"

The man in the lead chuckled. "It's better that he ran away. Didn't you notice how clever that kid was?"

Wang Yong understood. "You've taken a liking to that child?"

The leader nodded. "If those two dare to lie to us, we'll arrest them and bring them back. Then we'll send the younger one to the palace. With the old man leading the way outside, the younger one won't dare disobey us inside."

Wang Yong looked at the leading man with admiration and said, "Boss, you are truly a master strategist."

"Hahahaha... This is our territory. Trying to scam us on our own turf is just asking for death. Tell the brothers on the perimeter to keep a close eye on things and not let that grandmother and grandson get away."

"Yes. I'll go tell the brothers on the perimeter right away." That grandfather and grandson were really unlucky to have run into the boss. But they also had their own faults; if they hadn't gone to join in, the boss wouldn't have noticed them.

On the other side, the injured man had actually been awake for a while.

However, he never expected his master to treat him like this!
He risked his life for his master so many times, and his master actually wanted him to die under the feet of a few beggars!

He could accept being killed by his master with a single blow, a stab, or a kick, but he couldn't accept this kind of death. All his years of loyalty had been a joke.

After watching Qian Laifu finish applying the medicine to the man, Xiao Gousheng moved a rock and sat down next to him. "I know you're awake, so stop pretending to be unconscious. We won't do anything to you. Of course, we're not saints. We saved you hoping you could help us out."

They were traveling with Xie Zhenyun, but they were planning to team up with this guy to do something. Therefore, she couldn't play dumb in front of him; who would team up with a fool?
The man slowly opened his eyes. "I'm a cripple now, I can't help you at all. You might as well kill me."

The little dog pouted. "There are plenty of people worse off than you. Have you been hanging around the capital all this time? Do you know what the relationships are between those high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital? If you do, then you're not a cripple, and we didn't save you for nothing."

Little Dog Sheng figured that since Madam Tang had a fake one kept at home, her eldest cousin was probably preparing it for someone else. This "someone else" was likely in the capital. To figure out who this person was, they needed to figure out the network of connections in the capital.

The man said lifelessly, "You can't save me. Qi Hu is extremely cunning; you shouldn't have provoked him. You'd better leave now, or you won't be able to leave."

"You mean Qi Hu, the man who's in charge? I don't want to mess with him either. But we know nothing about the capital, and we can't openly recruit people, so we can only try to find a way through people like you."

The man glanced at the puppy. "You're quite honest. How old are you?"

"Five years old."

The man didn't believe him. "What you're saying doesn't sound like something a five-year-old would say."

The little dog smiled. "There's a word called precocious intelligence."

The man neither believed nor disbelieved. "You'd better leave quickly. Qi Hu might have taken a liking to you; no one who gets his eye on someone ever ends up well."

"We're definitely leaving. But not just 'us,' it's 'us.' I snatched you from those beggars. You can't let me work for nothing. As for what you said about Qi Hu taking a liking to me..."

The little dog thought for a moment, looked at the man, and said, "You used to be with him, so you should be able to guess where he'll ambush me, right?"

The man paused, stunned. "When you asked Qi Hu for me, you wanted me to run away with you?"

The puppy nodded. "A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated."

The man's eyes instantly reddened. "Aren't you afraid I'm some kind of heinous criminal?"

The little dog smiled. "I have excellent eyesight; I've never misjudged anyone."

You don't look five years old at all.

"The world is vast and full of wonders. You think I'm older than five because you're inexperienced."

"...What are you going to do if I don't help you?"

"You're not made of wood. They've treated you like that, are you still going to go down that path?"

"...They have a lot of power, we can't escape."

"Even if they're powerful, can they be more powerful than the Emperor? There are people the Emperor can't catch. Tell me, where are their forces located?"

After the man finished speaking, Gou Sheng glanced at him sideways. "Didn't you always only think about how to fight for your master?"

"..." Can you please stop reopening old wounds? "That has nothing to do with what we're discussing right now?"

"How can it be unrelated? In your opinion, even if we had wings, we couldn't escape Qi Hu's grasp. In my view, there are at least three ways to get out. However, I'm not planning to go out. I haven't found the person I'm looking for yet."

"Not going out?"

"Ah."

"Aren't you afraid of being caught by Qi Hu?"

"Don't be afraid. I have a great place, but I don't know if you dare to go?"

Without a second thought, the man replied, "If you dare to go, of course I dare to go too."

The puppy laughed as soon as it heard that. "Then let's go. Can you walk?"

"can."

Five hours later, the man stared blankly at the "good place" that Xiao Gou Sheng had mentioned for a while before asking, "Are you lost?"
