It's hard to love a concubine

Chapter 159

"Hey, you child, why are you so ignorant? Our wife is helping you, but you still contradict me like this?" Wu Quan came from a noble family and was the emperor's favorite minister. How could he stand this? The most important thing was that he Holding a crab in his right hand and a squid in his left, he was already very impatient, but now he saw a child like this and suddenly became angry.

"I won't sell it anymore!" The little boy returned the purse to Qian Xiyao, and walked away with the fish in his arms, saying as he walked, "My grandma will live to be eighty, she will definitely live to be eighty."

Qian Xiyao always felt that something was wrong, so she ran over with small steps, grabbed the child's clothes and made him turn around, only to see the tearful face all at once.

The little boy's face was covered with dust, and tears rolled down his cheeks, turning into ditches. The sea breeze was blowing, making his rotting sleeves flutter, looking sad and pitiful.

Qian Xiyao was about to speak, but she heard someone shouting outside, "Hey, little brat, come here."

Two men in official clothes came over, pointed at the boy and said, "You're selling fish? Have you paid the tax?"

The little boy's face turned red, another man sized him up and said, "Isn't this Shen San's son? It's fine if you don't pay taxes. Tell me where your father is, and we'll let you go." smiled at the child.

"My father is dead!"

"Oh, who are you lying to? Your father followed Xia Zhen, and now he is a pirate. Do you know the crimes of pirates? If you catch him, you will be beheaded."

"My father is not a pirate!" said the boy stubbornly.

"Little bastard, is it interesting to speak for your father now? Your father doesn't want you, doesn't want your grandma, and even sold your sister... in the face of pirates outside, killing and arson. Do you know how to do good deeds? Hey, why did you bite me!" The guard was startled when he saw the little boy rushing over to bite his butt, and soon felt a tingling pain in his hand. He yelled, picked up the wooden stick and Hit the child.

"Little bastard, kill you!"

The two guards each took a wooden stick that was half a person's height and beat them up. They looked like they were about to beat someone to death with red eyes. Qian Xiyao was stunned for a long time before she realized that she was just a weak woman... quickly turned around Going to see, seeing the emperor walking over, he immediately hugged her and said, "Follow me." Then he stepped aside, Wu Quan had already received the order to go.

Wu Quan was tall and straight, with a spirit in his eyes, and an imposing manner. Walking in front of two people already made people a little timid. He kicked the guard, and immediately made people back no less than five steps, and then condescendingly faced the other A man said, "Are you still hitting?"

"We are servants, you know?" The man backed away in fright, seeing Wu Quan unmoved, he hurriedly said, "It's because he doesn't ask for tax money, so don't beat us... We are Lord Yang's people! You Lian Yang Even grown-ups dare to move, I am getting impatient!"

Wu Quan sneered again and again, thinking to himself, even a first-rank official should be more polite when he sees me, so what is a small servant like you? "Master Yang, Lord Dog, the imperial court already canceled the fish tax in Chengde 18 years ago. What kind of tax are you collecting?" Chengde is the reign name of the former emperor.

The crowd who gathered around couldn't help sighing when they heard Wu Quan's words, "What's the use of what the court says? The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. The county magistrate is better off now, who cares about our lives and deaths."
