Chapter 139: Capture the King First

"this……"

Goudan was a little flattered. He hesitantly looked back at his friends who were still squatting on the street.

They stared at the buns in their arms with fierce eyes, and their saliva almost dripped from their mouths to the ground. They had indeed been hungry for too long.

"It's rare for me to be so kind, and you're still hesitating? Forget it!"

The bun vendor pretended to be angry and reached out to snatch the packed buns from Goudan's arms. He knew what these little beggars were worried about, so he went over to harass them openly, even though the stall owners were two women.

However, many of the diners are tall and strong men, and it is inevitable that some of them have bad tempers. I am afraid that they will spontaneously drive the stall owner away without waiting for him to say anything.

"No, no, no, we're so happy we can help!"

Goudan regained his attention and subconsciously hugged the bun in his arms tightly. Who would want to eat the bun that rolls on the ground and gets covered in dust when he can eat it all?

Moreover, the portion given by the bun vendor is large enough, so at least there is no problem for me and my friends to eat their fill.

The bun vendor chuckled and prepared to close his stall to watch the fun. Business wasn't good anyway, so he just waited to see the soup dumpling stall go bankrupt...

As soon as Goudan returned to the beggar group with the buns, his friends started to share the buns with him, while still asking questions.

"Is it time for a job? How could that bun seller be so kind? What does he plan to ask us to do this time?"

"Wow, it's so hard to have something warm and clean to eat. I want to save one to take back to my grandma!"

In order to prevent the bun vendors from changing their minds, the buns were basically eaten by the beggars as soon as they arrived at the group, except for a few little beggars with elderly people at home, who would keep a clean and carefully wrapped bun for themselves.

Goudan silently ate a bun to fill his stomach, then signaled his friends to be quiet and began to assign tasks.

But as soon as the job was mentioned, the group of little beggars went crazy. The job sounded easy, but it was obvious that Cheng Weiyao's stall was doing very well.

There are so many people queuing up, and you might already be feeling a bit irritated while waiting. If you join them, you're just asking for a fight...

"We've already eaten, so we should be grateful for the food we've eaten and be soft-hearted about the things we've taken. Let's take it step by step and see how we can make progress."

Goudan scratched his head and suggested in a low voice.

Five minutes later, the little beggars began to disperse around Cheng Weiyao's soup dumpling stall to beg.

"Uncle, please be kind and give me something to eat. I wish you good health and a long life, and may your grandson have a prosperous future..."

"Madam, I haven't eaten for three days. I have brothers and sisters at home. Can you have pity on me? I wish you and your family happiness..."

The approach of the little beggars aroused the aunt's idea. When people get old, they can't stand to see such miserable appearances.

But the problem is that this is a stall and business, and the little beggars coming here to beg will really affect the diners' taste.

"Go away, do you have any good eyesight? Can't you see that I'm eating? If you come any closer, I'll beat you up!"

When the irritable diner smelled the beggar, he waved his fists and opened his mouth to threaten him.

It was finally my turn. I just sat down and before my butt could even warm up, a group of little beggars came as soon as the soup dumplings were served.

"Auntie, please keep an eye on the stall. I'll go take care of it."

Cheng Weiyao glanced at the shivering little girl in front of the diner and closed the cage lid. She had noticed this group of little beggars ever since they suddenly appeared.

I didn't deal with it because I wanted to see what these little beggars were going to do. Now it seems that begging is not the point, but harassing their customers and affecting their business.

When he looked up again, he saw that the stall of the bun vendor was already empty. He thought it was probably him who found these beggars. After all, these little beggars came to work without even wiping their mouths.

"Sir, please eat first. We will give you another basket. Please bear with us..."

Cheng Weiyao quickly stepped forward and calmed the irritable diner with some soup dumplings, then turned around and pulled the little girl away from her stall.

The diners who had received compensation did not pursue the matter any further, but Cheng Weiyao planned to capture the leader first. Seeing that there was a backbone among this group of little beggars, she grabbed the little girl and refused to let go just to lure Goudan out for a chat.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. I didn't mean to do this. I know you don't like it, so I'm leaving now! Please be so kind as to let me go like a puppy..."

Cheng Weiyao didn't say anything, but the little girl who was caught still looked at her with fear on her face, her big eyes filled with terror, and it looked like tears were about to roll out of her eyes in the next second.

The little girl knew in her heart that she was wrong and it was reasonable for her to be beaten, but she was a child after all, and she couldn't stop shaking when she was scared.

When Goudan saw that his friend was caught red-handed, he immediately rushed in front of Cheng Weiyao with a righteous look and protected the little girl behind him.

"It was all my orders. It has nothing to do with her. If you want to hit or scold me, come to me!"

Wow, I didn’t realize you’re such a responsible person!

Cheng Weiyao asked with a somewhat dumbfounded laugh, "Do I look fierce? The kind that can eat several children in one breath?"

The atmosphere was originally a bit tense, but when Cheng Wei Yao started to joke around, Goudan was stunned and opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

The other little beggars obviously misunderstood and thought that they couldn't even deal with Goudan, so they stopped begging and harassing her for a while and secretly moved towards Cheng Weiyao, planning to use a human wave tactic.

"Your friends seem hostile to me, eh? I didn't even touch you, did I? Let's find a more spacious place to talk?"

Cheng Weiyao glanced at the eager little beggars with a kind smile. They were all underage children, about the same age as Wen Chengming.

"Don't come over here, we're fine."

Goudan had already reacted. There was no ill intention in Cheng Weiyao, and he even sensed a hint of hostility. If it were a really vicious person, he would have kicked her away long ago.

Cheng Wei Yao gave her aunt a look, indicating that she should keep an eye on the stall, while she took Goudan to find a quieter place.

"Um... Madam, could you please grab me by the ears or collar and leave? After all, I accepted the buns and have already eaten them, so I can't return them..."

Goudan rolled his eyes. Although he didn't see the bun vendor, he might be watching him secretly somewhere, so he didn't want to appear too submissive.

The next second, Cheng Weiyao pretended to be fierce and carried Goudan into the alley.

This kid king, isn't he stupid? He even knows how to pretend. But he's smart. He was sold out to the bun vendor with just one sentence...
