Chapter 224: Meeting an acquaintance in Zhongzhou Prefecture 2
As they walked slowly down the road, they heard two people talking quietly in front of them, "I heard that the prefect's backyard was robbed last night, and a lot of valuables were stolen. The prefect was also seriously injured."
"Hey! Let's not go into the city today. By following the route given by the gods, our family can save a lot of money and we don't have to worry about it in this city. Brother, do you think the governor of Zhongzhou will not punish us ordinary people because of the loss of finances?"
"That's hard to say! I heard that the governor of Zhongzhou is not a good official. The people of Zhongzhou have been suffering these years! Didn't you notice when you entered the city? Apart from outsiders like us, there were almost no local residents. Maybe they got the news a long time ago, so they fled here in advance. After all, with such an incompetent official, it is difficult for the people to have a good life. Instead of suffering here, it is better to go to other places to find a better life opportunity."
He sighed and continued, "In fact, just looking at the high entrance fee, we can see what kind of Zhongzhou is. He doesn't even think about helping the people, but is thinking about robbing them. How can he be a good official? I heard that the prefect of Zhongzhou and that useless general on the border seem to be relatives. They are birds of a feather and not good people. I think that the thief did a good job, which is really gratifying."
"Brother, let's keep our voices down so that the patrolling guards won't hear us."
"Alas! It is us ordinary people who are suffering! If we can't catch the bandits, I wonder if we can leave the city tomorrow? Don't come and rob us after you lose your things, you dog officials."
“That’s not… (right)?” Before he could finish the last two words, he heard two people screaming, “Ah… are you a human or a ghost? Get out of the way, get out of the way…”
"Second brother, second brother, how are you?"
Yun Duo and the other person heard the scream and walked forward to check the situation.
Under the moonlight, a ragged, unkempt man was seen on the ground, hugging the legs of the man in front of him, begging, "Two heroes, please help me! I was framed, please take me with you, and when you find my brother in front, I will give you money as a thank you, please."
Why does this voice sound familiar to Yun Duo?
The two men in front saw that it was a beggar and patted their chests, "Hey, beggar brother? You can scare people to death, don't you know? I was almost scared to death."
"Brother, it's useless to ask us for help. We don't even know if we can leave the city. I'm really sorry! There are more than 20 people in my family, young and old, and I really can't help you!" After saying that, the two brothers walked around the beggar and wanted to leave.
The beggar's eyes were full of desire to survive. He knew he might not survive, but he still hoped to seize this last chance. He firmly believed that as long as he could find someone who was willing to help him pass on the message, his brother would come to rescue him.
In the past few days, he has asked many passers-by for help, asking them to help pass a message to his brother, hoping that someone can deliver the message to his brother.
"Two kind people, can I trouble you for a favor? If you meet Lin Gao from Lin Wei Wu Hall on the road, please tell him about my situation and ask him to come and rescue me.
If you can pass this message to him, I promise you will be rewarded handsomely.
Oh! By the way, my brother is with the people from Yunjia Village, you must tell him! "
The beggar said this with all his might.
There was a mixture of despair and hope in his voice. He knew the hope was slim, but his desire to survive kept him trying again and again.
Yun Duo glanced at Cheng Yuheng and asked why the voice sounded so familiar. It turned out to be the eldest brother's uncle Lin Hao.
Yun Duo said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Guess, was my elder brother, the senior master, deceived by a woman, or was he met with robbers?"
"That idiot, who doesn't care about his wife and children, deserves to be cheated. Let's go." Cheng Yuheng despised this kind of people the most, so he didn't want to care.
"Let's go and ask him what's going on. After all, he's my eldest brother's uncle. Even if we consider Master Lin's face, if he repents, take him with him. If he still can't figure it out and is stubborn, then let him disappear."
Yun Duo put on a black mask. She was dressed like a man. She changed her voice and asked, "You said you know Lin Gao from Lin Wei Wu Hall?"
When someone asked Lin Hao, he was overjoyed, "Yes, that's right, little brother Lin Gao is my brother."
"You guys who run a martial arts school shouldn't be this sleepy, no matter how rich you are, right?"
"Little brother, you said you didn't know. It was all because of my blindness. I didn't cherish my good wife and children, and I listened to the sweet words of a widow. Not only did my wife and children become estranged from me, but I was also deceived by that little bitch. She took away all my property and broke my leg. I am such a bastard..."
Lin Hao, crying and snotting, told everything that had happened in the past few days.
