Chapter 1215

On the bustling street, beggar children were hiding under the eaves.

Their eyes were full of pleading gazes, looking at the gorgeously dressed passersby around them.

However, just as they were holding their broken bowls, a youth in a green shirt appeared beside them.

He had his hair tied up with a hairpin, and a heroic face, as if he didn't look like a fallen person at all!

"What are you looking at? Never seen a beggar before!"

Looking at the child casting strange gazes beside him, Zhang Cheng backhanded and grabbed the bowl, placing it in front of himself.

Staring at this scene in astonishment, the beggar, who was less than eight years old, immediately froze.

"Young Master, that's mine!"

Pointing at Zhang Cheng's broken bowl, the beggar immediately spoke up.

"I know, I'm borrowing it!"

Speaking to the beggar, Zhang Cheng asked, "Can you fill your stomach in a day?"

"No!"

Shaking his head, the beggar immediately showed a look of difficulty.

And hearing his words, Zhang Cheng said calmly, "That's true, you're already a beggar, can you still eat your fill? By the way, who are you hanging out with?"

"We are people of Third Master Gou from the west of the city!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, the beggar hurriedly explained.

"How many people does Third Master Gou have in his hands!"

Looking at the beggar with a face full of curiosity, Zhang Cheng smiled.

And just as the beggar was about to speak, several burly men walked over from not far away and said, "Little Young Master, you aren't possessed by a ghost, are you? Coming to our place to act wild!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a fierce face, the burly men appeared, and the beggar immediately became afraid.

Standing up, Zhang Cheng held the broken bowl and said, "Blind things, I'm squatting here playing, and you dare to come and look for trouble with me?"

Speaking domineeringly, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but scold.

In Jin Ling, it had always been his Four Great Families bullying outsiders, who dared to come and bully them?

Jia is not fake, white jade as a hall, gold as a horse, Epang Palace, three hundred miles, cannot hold a Shi of Jin Ling.

The East Sea lacks a white jade bed, the Dragon King comes to invite the King of Jin Ling, a good year with heavy snow, pearls like soil, gold like iron.

And their names are the Protection Talisman of Jiangnan, Jia, Shi, Wang, Xue!

"You?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in anger, the ruffian beside him immediately withdrew his hand, intending to go up and give him a couple of slaps to make Zhang Cheng wake up.

But before he could make a move, the leader hurriedly said, "May I ask which family the Young Master is from?"

"Little master's surname is Jia!"

Looking at the man coldly, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Suddenly hearing Zhang Cheng's name, the ruffians' faces immediately showed a look of fear.

Because in Jin Ling, you might not know who the prefect is, but you absolutely cannot not know the four clans like the Jia family!

"Young Master, excuse me, we thought you were bullying this beggar child!"

Apologizing with cupped hands, the ruffian immediately became honest.

And hearing his words, Zhang Cheng's eyes showed disdain as he said, "I heard that you are in charge of the beggar children in the West City?"

"Young Master is joking, we aren't kidnappers, how could we do such a thing!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, the ruffian immediately showed a look of embarrassment.

Because this kind of thing cannot be admitted, once you dare to admit it, people can kill you!

Ancient laws are even harsher than modern ones, once a kidnapper is caught, there is absolutely no way to live!

Taking the Ming Dynasty as an example, the ordinary punishment is one hundred strokes of the cane, and three years of penal servitude!

And the penal servitude here refers to exile to the border to join the army!

Don't think three years is very little, you must know that in ancient times, once you are sentenced to penal servitude and go to the border to join the army, it means you have stepped half a foot into the King of Hell's palace!

As for the more serious "harvesting and dismembering," then sorry,

The principal offender is executed by slow slicing, property is used to compensate the victim's family, and the accomplice is beheaded.

Anyone who knows the merciful Xiao Zizai understands that he is good at making sheep scorpion soup!

But slow slicing is even harsher than sheep scorpion soup!

Because before the three thousand six hundred cuts, the prisoner is not allowed to stop breathing!

Speaking of the means of slow slicing, one has to mention the Lu person next door, because he is a professional player in this line, after all, he learned this for the Xianbei Murong clan!

"Then it seems you are taking care of these children!"

Looking at the ruffian with a smile, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Upon seeing the beggar children on the side of the road, Zhang Cheng had already discovered "fated people," because anti-kidnapping must be done at all times.

You are eating hot pot, singing songs, turn your head, and the child is gone, aren't you angry?

"This Young Master, why don't I set up a banquet and invite you to have some fun?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a face full of smiles, the ruffian immediately spoke up.

"Oh, there's such a good thing?"

Looking at the ruffian in surprise, Zhang Cheng immediately became astonished.

"If Young Master is willing to go, it's giving us face!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a face full of smiles, the ruffian immediately became happy.

Half an hour later, in an independent small courtyard in the West City,

A hot pot was boiling on the table.

Walking out to meet him, Third Master Gou laughed and said, "Young Master Jia visiting my humble home, it really makes it shine!"

Looking at the youth before him, Third Master Gou couldn't help but raise his hands in salute.

"Where, where, being invited today is Jia's honor!"

Looking at Third Master Gou before him, Zhang Cheng smiled.

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Third Master Gou's heart was also drumming at this moment.

Because before, when the ruffian reported to him, he still didn't believe it, because how could a Jia family young master have anything to do with them?

Third Master Gou: I can't be sure it is, but I can't be sure it isn't, after all, once we become enemies, wouldn't my time in Jin Ling be at an end?

"Please, Young Master Jia!"

Signaling with his hand, Third Master Gou immediately smiled.

And just as the two sat on the chairs, many people were watching from afar.

Looking at the distance in confusion, one person doubted, "Fourth Master, why is Big Brother so respectful!"

Accompanied by the curious question, many people became suspicious.

"In Jin Ling, offending someone with the surname Jia? Do you not want your lives!"

Speaking to the people beside him, Fourth Master was helpless.

They did know many people working in the yamen, but in Jin Ling, the Jia family didn't have anyone left above them!

Using chopsticks, Zhang Cheng stuffed a piece of mutton into his mouth and said, "Third Master Gou, I want to ask you one thing!"

"I dare not, I dare not, Young Master, just speak, I will definitely know everything and say everything!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, Third Master Gou heard his address and hurriedly refused.

"I want to ask you, how much are thirteen human lives worth?"

Looking at Third Master Gou with a smile, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Suddenly hearing this sentence, Third Master Gou froze in place, because there were exactly thirteen people in this room!

"Young Master, what is this?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, Third Master Gou was still a bit unsure.

Resting his chin on one hand, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Causing flesh and blood to separate, and still daring to sit here openly eating and drinking, aren't you afraid of heaven's punishment?"

Slamming the table, Third Master Gou stared at Zhang Cheng and said, "Little rabbit, threatening me, right? I respect you, call you Young Master Jia, I don't recognize you, I'll have you buried immediately!"

Looking at Third Master Gou before him, Zhang Cheng jokingly laughed and said, "One thousand three hundred taels, what do you think?"

"I don't think anything! Either you get out, or I'll let you know what regret is!"

Taking out the sharp blade from his waist, Third Master Gou stared at Zhang Cheng, cold light filling his eyes.

Originally Third Master Gou wanted to make friends with the Jia family, but now it seems this kid doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!

"Difficult to handle? Then don't handle it!"

Suddenly flipping the table, Zhang Cheng splashed the hot pot onto Third Master Gou, and grabbed the chopsticks, piercing his neck.
