Chapter 931: North and Love (14)
It turned out that after Qingfeng and Qingliu delivered breakfast in the morning, they went to North Street to look for work, but after squatting there for the whole morning, no one was willing to work with them.
Qingfeng felt that this was not a solution, so he took Qingliu and took the initiative to go to several large restaurants on North Street to ask if there was anything they could do.
But almost every restaurant rejected them because they were still half-grown children and kicked them out of the restaurant.
The two were very frustrated, but they did not stop looking for a job.
They continued searching, not letting go of any of them. Finally, they found a place called Zui Xiang Lou, where the owner said they could use it to wash dishes in the kitchen.
The two were very happy and followed him in without thinking.
At first, they were indeed washing dishes in the kitchen, but in the afternoon, the manager suddenly asked Qingliu to help deliver food to the guests in the upper rooms.
Qingfeng and Qingliu were both children and didn't think there was anything strange about this matter, so they followed obediently.
But after a while, Qingfeng felt something was wrong in front of him. He walked out and listened, and heard Qingliu shouting.
He rushed out instantly. The servants of Zuixianglou reacted immediately, but they didn't have time to catch him!
Following Qingliu's voice, I saw Qingliu being dragged and pulled into the room by a middle-aged man in the corridor on the second floor behind.
Qingliu held on to the railing in the corridor tightly and shouted for help, but no one paid any attention to him.
No matter how loudly he shouted, the people around him were indifferent.
Qing Feng's eyes turned red when he saw that scene.
The man who was pulling and cursing had no idea that a kid with a stone in his hand was approaching him like a gust of wind.
Just when Qingliu thought he was doomed, he suddenly heard a muffled groan, and then he felt the strength in his arms disappear.
He turned around and saw that the man who was pulling him and trying to take off his clothes had fallen to the ground, with blood flowing from the back of his head.
He was so frightened that his whole body froze. When he looked to the side, he saw Qingfeng standing there, holding a sharp stone with bright red blood on it.
He seemed to be frightened as well, his eyes full of panic and fear. It was not until someone screamed that Qingfeng suddenly came back to his senses.
He threw away the stone in his hand and pulled Qingliu to run, but they were in the backyard of Zuixianglou, surrounded by people from Zuixianglou, how could they run away?
Finally, they were caught.
Because a person had died, the matter was reported to the government, and the government sent several yamen runners to arrest the person. This was because the deceased had an unusual background and seemed to be a cousin of an official.
Qingfeng told the yamen runner that the man was trying to bully his brother, so he accidentally killed him.
But how can it be justified for a man to "bully" a child?
However, the manager of Zuixianglou said that the two children had offended Master Xu, and Master Xu had only given them a slight punishment. Before he could do anything to the two children, they were beaten to death.
Faced with the testimonies of both the children and the steward, the yamen runner did not say much, but only said that he would take the two children back.
Qingfeng didn't want Qingliu to be arrested, so he took all the blame and said that he was the one who killed the person and it had nothing to do with Qingliu.
Seeing that he pleaded guilty, the yamen runners were very happy and did not make things difficult for Qingliu. They just took Qingfeng away.
Qingliu was extremely panicked. At this time, he heard the manager of Zuixianglou say that the dead man was the cousin of Lord Lou, the military officer of Beisha City!
Although the Lou family may not be the most powerful in Beisha City, they are the richest and have the widest network of connections! If a member of the Lou family is killed, not only will the child who was taken away have a bad end, but Qingliu will not be let off easily either!
The manager told Qingliu to leave quickly, and it would be better if he went as far away as possible, otherwise, the whole family would be left to die!
Qing Liu didn't know whether what the steward said was true or not. He only knew that he had to come back quickly and ask Sister Fu'er to save Brother Qingfeng.
He was so frightened that his whole body was stiff and he almost staggered back.
But when he returned to the deserted temple, he found that there was no one in the temple, and there were some daily necessities he had just bought at the door.
He knew that it must have been bought by Sister Fu'er for them! But the things were still outside, and she disappeared before he even had time to sort them out. There were even a few pools of blood on the ground outside the door.
Those were left behind by the people from the Sanjiang League, but Qingliu mistakenly thought they belonged to Gong Fu and the others.
He thought it was someone from the Lou family who had come and kidnapped his brothers and sisters, as well as Sister Fu'er...
"Sister, this is all my fault. I harmed Brother Qingfeng... What should I do? They said they would chop off Brother Qingfeng's head..."
"Sister Fu'er, what should we do? Can you save Brother Qingfeng? Brother Qingfeng can't die, he can't die..."
"Wuwu... Help, help Brother Qingfeng..."
Qingliu cried so hard that she was out of breath, and fell exhausted on Gong Fu's arms.
Gong Fu gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with anger.
She suppressed her inner anger, patted Qingliu's back gently, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Brother Qingfeng will be fine, sister will go to save him!"
"Wait here for me, don't run around, I'll pick you up soon!"
After saying that, she rushed out of the deserted temple and immediately climbed onto the horse they were riding.
Although she didn't know martial arts, she had been painting for many years and her right hand was quite strong. After trying twice, although she was in a mess, she finally climbed up.
At that time, she didn't even think about the fact that she had never learned to ride a horse, let alone knew how to control a horse.
She just tried to control the horse by imitating the way she remembered others riding horses. As you can imagine, she couldn't control the horse at all and was thrown off.
"what!!"
The feeling of weightlessness made Gong Fu's heart go cold. She subconsciously closed her eyes, ready to fall to the ground.
However, when the body fell, there was no pain as imagined, but it was caught by a pair of strong arms.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the face that made her heart beat wildly.
He laid her down on the ground, his face expressionless, and he didn't blame her for being impulsive or irrational. He simply asked calmly, "Where do you want to go? What do you want to do?"
Gong Fu's sanity was somewhat restored by this blow.
She blurted out, "I'm going to find the governor of Beisha City. I'm going to seek justice for my brother!"
"They are clearly the victims, why should they pay for such a scumbag?!"
Bei Ji looked at him, his eyes flickering slightly, and asked, "Do you know the governor?"
The first thing she said was that she wanted to find the governor. If she didn't know him, how could she be so confident?
"I...I don't know..."
Gong Fu's eyes flickered, as if she was hiding something.
Since she didn't want to say it, Bei Ji didn't plan to ask any further questions.
After a moment of silence, she looked at him pleadingly, with a hint of request and expectation in her eyes.
"General Bei, can you help me?"
The call of "General Bei" caused some ripples in Bei Ji's calm and cold eyes.
