Chapter 40 Dragon begets dragon and phoenix begets phoenix

"I don't believe it. There are people living in shacks in the refugee camps who lack food and clothing. If they had money, they wouldn't live in shacks," Shen Liuzhen said.

"Hey...you don't know something about this. They fled home because of the war. No matter how hurried they are, they have to take their valuables with them. Because there are too many people, there are no orders from above. If they are not allowed to enter the city, they can only stay outside the city gate. Then they are not allowed to go into the city to buy food and clothing. They can't get in without the city's household registration. So they have to rely on us?" The bald bully smiled slyly. , revealing a set of jagged yellow teeth.

Xie Yuan rolled his eyes, because he wanted to vomit when he was so successful.

Shen Liuzhen looked like he was suddenly enlightened and said: "Oh... I see." He opened his curious eyes and moved forward excitedly, "Then, there must be a lot of strange things? Is there anything rare? For example, are there any antiques, calligraphy and paintings?”

Xie Yuan turned around and frowned, looking at Shen Liuzhen as if he wanted to join the others, his face full of disgust.

"Hey, Mr. Young Master, you are really good at joking. Those calligraphy and painting things are only things that a prestigious clan...just like your family would have. Ordinary people can't even read, but if you give them to them, they will get it." I don’t know what they are. Besides, I don’t know the antiques. Anyway, if someone gave them to me, I gave them to Colonel Zhang.”

Shen Liuzhen sighed in frustration and said, "Hey, what a pity... I want to see it too."

"Go and have a look at Colonel Zhang's place. He has all the good things."

Xie Yuan saw Shen Liuzhen's expression of regret and stopped talking, while the bald bully grabbed the fence with his hands and stretched out his face to look at Shen Liuzhen with a flattering look.

She raised her arm and knocked the torture device in her hand against the fence. She was about to speak: "You..."

There was a "pop" sound, and the wooden stick on the hand clip broke, and the broken pieces flew everywhere. If it weren't for the wires connected, and several broken pieces didn't fly out, the people standing around her would probably have been accidentally injured. .

Everyone was shocked.

Not to mention the bald bully inside, who had already let go and jumped in fright, looking at Xie Yuan with horrified eyes.

Xie Yuan looked blankly at the remains in his hand, then raised his face and sheepishly handed it to the stunned cell leader next to him, and said with an embarrassed smile:

"Haha... This stick looks pitch black, and it's too weak..."

"Mr. Lang... this is made of black bamboo, which is the toughest." The prison head shook the things in his hand with a complicated expression, and the broken stick connected to the string made a random crackling sound, which echoed in the empty cell. .

Xie Yuan was even more embarrassed. She originally wanted to scare her. But because she really didn't like the bully, she unknowingly used more force...

Shen Liuzhen cleared his throat on the side, leaned back slightly, raised his sleeves and looked at her defensively and said:

"A Yuan... Do you know how heavy the heavy sword you usually wield for practice is? Next time you hit someone, take it easy..."

Xie Yuan's back was straight, he pursed his lips and said nothing, and shouted directly into the cell:

"What do you think about the fact that you brought people to kill me?!"

"Oh... Didn't I tell you that it's all a misunderstanding, Mr. Shen family, I'm just a caterpillar in the field. I don't care and will say harsh words without any other ability. It's not like you are a hero, Just spare me this time. Look..." He pointed to his head in grievance and said, "Look, didn't you chop off one of my ears? Why don't you feel relieved?"

Xie Yuan's angry expression softened for a moment.

She is not a harsh person to begin with, she is usually kind.

Because of her naughtiness, the Xie family strictly controlled her words and deeds, fearing that she would go astray. The so-called knowledge and ethics were engraved in her blood.

If these people hadn't gone too far and exceeded her bottom line by doing many evil things, she wouldn't have cut off people's ears as soon as they came up.

Shen Liuzhen glanced at her and knew what she was thinking, so he quickly said to the bully:

"She's so coaxable. She's short of money. How much money do you have at home? Just pay her compensation and that'll be the end of it."

The emotion on Xie Yuan's face changed. He raised his eyebrows, looked at Shen Liuzhen and said, "I'm short of money...what do you mean? Do you want to be beaten?"

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, he raised his wide sleeves to cover his face and stopped talking, looking very scared.

The bald bully took a look and realized there was something he didn't understand.

The son of a military general's family is just rough, and he is probably used to it. Even the son of the Xie family - his friends are not immune to this...

If an irrelevant minion falls into his hands, what good will it do?

So the bald bully said to Xie Yuan with a sad face:

"Xiao Langjun, please tell me, can this matter really go away? As long as I give you the money, you can let me out, and there will be no worries in the future?"

Xie Yuan's eyes drooped and he said, "It depends on how much you have. I won't be happy if you have less."

"I'll give you everything I have...I just ask you to spare me."

"How much?" Xie Yuan asked impatiently.

"I...I have two hundred taels." The bully said with a contorted face in pain as if his flesh had been cut.

Xie Yuan pondered for a while, then looked at Shen Liuzhen and saw that Shen Liuzhen was also waiting for her to speak.

So he said to the bald bully:

"Okay, but I still have a condition. From now on, you will obey my orders and you will do whatever I ask you to do."

Now the bully was happy. His pinched face instantly relaxed and he said to Xie Yuan:

"It's my blessing to be able to follow you. I wish I could, I wish you could."

After he finished speaking, he saw Xie Yuan tilting his chin up and staring at him with a pair of powerful eyes, unsmiling. He felt uneasy again, so he turned to Shen Liuzhen and said:

"Young gentleman of the Xie family, you are a scholar, keep your word, and value your credibility. You have to bear witness to me. I will take out these two hundred taels of silver, and you will let me go and let bygones be bygones."

Shen Liuzhen put his hands in his sleeves, nodded, and said sincerely: "This is natural...but you are wrong about one thing."

"Wha...what?" the bald bully stammered.

Shen Liuzhen stretched out his chin and pointed at Xie Yuan, saying, "Her surname is Xie, my surname is Shen."

The bald bully didn't react for a while. He stared blankly at the two children of about ten years old, dumbfounded...

…

…

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen took the bald bully to withdraw money.

He was running on the ground, with Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan riding on tall horses, followed by a group of Yamen servants from the county governor's office and a group of soldiers from the Shen family.

These people were all fed by government officials, and they were well-trained and impressive. He was a gangster among them. He only felt that he was a little shorter than the others, but he was much taller than the ordinary people on the street.

At that moment, he was so grateful to be able to join the Xie family and the Shen family that he didn't even care about losing the two hundred taels of silver.

With shackles on his hands, he walked next to Shen Liuzhen's horse, chatting with him in a dog-legged way while running, and said:

"Mr. Lang, this is really strange. People say that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. Why are you two born upside down? Are you just teasing me?"
