Xiaobao also saw the bag thief and two beggars.

Since the bag thief slipped away and reappeared, Xiaobao judged that he probably followed the plainclothes guard, so it was not an accident that the two beggars were mixed in with the crowd at the city gate.

You must know that the main components of beggars should be "vagrants" and "refugees". It is not easy to stay in the city. Beggars are strictly not allowed to exist in places like the city gate, which will disturb public order.

That bag thief must have something planned.

Now it's just that the Duke's Mansion and the city gate guards are fighting, there's no big trouble, just watch the fun.

Moreover, what makes Xiaobao feel more confident is that Baijiaxing has brought the boys from the Chu family to the city. If something really happens, they will take care of it.

The bag thief slipped away now because he saw the two fake beggars whispering something to each other, and then one of them left.

He was going to track down the beggar who left.

Xiaobao didn't pay attention to the bag thief. He now focused on the conversation between Butler Cheng and the captain of the city gate.

The captain could no longer explain clearly.

He really couldn't explain it clearly because he couldn't explain it clearly.

The "poor family" will "honor" him two taels of silver every month. If he needs to go in and out of the city gate, he will "honor" him individually five taels each time he goes in and out of the city.

This is a huge amount of "extra money" for him. You must know that his monthly salary is only 700 cash, which is too much. What he has is only 300 to 500 cash per month.

During the civil strife a few years ago, he had to go through a lot of trouble to become a pawn guarding the city gate. He thought he could get the monthly salary of 300 Wen for a low-class soldier, but he didn't expect it. He was often served with pickles instead.

Now I have been promoted, and my monthly salary is only 700 yuan. If I hadn't deducted some money from people who came to the city every month, I wouldn't be able to support my wife and children just relying on that little salary.

I thought it was a good thing for a poor family to pay monthly "filial piety", but now it seems, md! For a few taels of silver, I actually offended both the Duke of the State and the King of Qin?!

"Master Cheng, if you come with me to check the room and take a look, you will understand that I am not lying. There are really three corpses, but... there are so many people going in and out of the city gate, and there are corpses on display. The little one is really afraid of causing panic among the people, so he

Moved away."

The captain of the city gate school was also quite quick-witted, and he made up the reason of "causing panic among the people" quickly and reasonably.

Butler Cheng's face became a little better. When the captain saw it, he quickly made a "please" gesture and asked him to come up and have a look with a magnanimous look.

Who is Steward Cheng? He is the steward of the Duke's Mansion, so naturally he cannot be invited easily. He glanced at the young boy, who immediately understood and followed the captain up the steps.

"Trash!" The beggar hiding in the crowd couldn't help but gritted his teeth and cursed when he saw that the captain actually brought people into the duty room to see the body, but he couldn't see it at all.

The boy came down quickly, with a look of surprise on his face.

He hurriedly walked to Butler Cheng, leaned close to his ear, and covered it with his hands to prevent the sound from coming out: "There are three corpses inside, one of them is... the owner of the Kong Family Shaopinxuan."

"What?!" Butler Cheng's eyes widened: "Really? Who are the other two?"

"Really! It belongs to the shopkeeper. I don't know the other one. He seems to be a beggar!" the boy replied.

Butler Cheng turned his attention to the group of beggars squatting under the wall. When the boy saw them, he immediately walked over and kicked one of them: "Hey! Where are you from?"

The beggar looked helpless, silent, and his eyes were unfocused.

I asked a few more, and they all had the same virtue.

Butler Cheng saw this and turned to Chu Yuan and asked: "The body you brought?"

Chu Yuan nodded "honestly": "Yes, we saw them surrounding a few corpses on the road, so we asked what was going on. They just looked sad and didn't speak. It looked really pitiful;

They were given food and drink, but they remained silent and ate;

We were really worried and asked to take them into the city. They nodded and just brought them here.

Master Butler, who are they? Are their relatives who died?"

Butler Cheng stared at Chu Yuan's eyes, hoping to use his ability to see people without losing sight of him for half his life, to tell whether the boy in front of him was lying.

Chu Yuanqing frowned as he told the story, his expression of pity mixed with concern, and finally a hint of gossip was so well performed that it was hard not to believe it.

"We were entrusted by Mr. Kong to transport this batch of porcelain, and we traveled by water and land. We really couldn't eat or sleep well to look after the goods, for fear of being delayed or damaged;

But since I met these poor people, I really couldn’t bear to pretend not to see them, so I had to send them to the city, but I didn’t expect... oh, they would cause trouble to the housekeeper!"

Chu Yuan said this to frame the black butler incognito and to directly negotiate with the Master of the Kong family.

His demeanor was natural and sincere, his voice was neither too loud nor too quiet, and everyone around him could hear it clearly, and he received many compliments at once:

"Alas! These people are so benevolent and righteous!"

"You can't be too benevolent and righteous. Look, aren't you getting yourself into trouble?"

"It's fair to say! That's the truth. These days, you have to keep your good intentions in your pocket and don't show them. It will cause trouble for yourself!"

"Having said that, if we have anything to transport, we have to find a responsible escort agency like this!"

"That's right! Hey! What kind of escort agency are they?"

"You can't read. Isn't there a flag on the carriage?"

"I can't read, what kind of escort agency is this?"

"Sanshun Escort Agency! Really, you can't read or listen? I just said that early in the morning."

"I haven't heard of it. Hey, I haven't heard of this escort agency."

Immediately, someone secretly pulled on the clothes of the escort boys and asked, "Hey, where are you from?"

Zhou Xiaochuan replied: "We are Sanshun Escort Agency of Chongyu Prefecture."

Someone pulled Xiaobao's sleeve. Seeing that the child was young and well-dressed, he asked, "Little brother, do you have a semicolon in Kyoto?"

Others asked: "Boy, how come your escort agency has a child as young as you? Do you know kung fu?"

Someone also asked: "Is there your uncle in your team? The one who came out to see the world?"

The gray cloth robe Xiaobao is wearing today does not look noble at all. He is tall and looks like a child of about thirteen or fourteen years old.

It is possible for a child of this age to go out with his family to experience the world.

Xiaobao answered patiently and shyly: "We don't have semicolons in Kyoto yet."

"Yes, I will follow my brother to see the world."

"Well, my boss said he wanted to open a branch in Kyoto, but I heard that shops in Kyoto are very expensive."

Butler Cheng also heard Xiaobao's answer, and coupled with Chu Yuan's somewhat honest, sincere, and clever demeanor, Butler Cheng was no longer suspicious.

He said to the boy: "It's none of our business. We just placed an order at his shop. Just take the convoy back and don't delay the grand master's important business."

The boy nodded and immediately told the captain of the city gate: "Other things have nothing to do with our house. You can do whatever you like. I have to take the people and goods away, or you can send the goods back to me?"

Captain Chengmen really wanted to say, "You must at least leave me a few people who can speak clearly," but after thinking about it, he was afraid that the other party would say "trial the case," so he had to swallow his words and let him go.

Now that the Duke's government doesn't want to get involved in this matter, he'd better not make trouble.

Because he can't report to the official, his extra money is just to provide convenience for the "poor family business", how can he dare to report to the official?
