The old Fu family knocked down several people with just a wave of their hands.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from somewhere:

"Fuck! The wind is blowing! That girl found an Eagle Claw grandson!"

A Yuan hurried over, pulling the soldier at the city gate. Before they got close, he saw those people rushing into the alleys everywhere.

They all ran away. Fu Sanbai managed to catch one, but that person was as slippery as a loach and could not be caught.

Fu San had wasted all his efforts and was left with only a torn piece of clothing. Looking at the clothing in his hand, he felt extremely angry.

The whole family of Lao Fu was dumbfounded. This was the imperial city, under the feet of the emperor? Was there still any law here?

The soldier at the city gate was also saying:

"You kid, do you know any law? Don't pull my pants! This matter is not my business! You need to find a constable!"

The soldier was stunned. Suddenly a child jumped out and grabbed his belt and ran away, almost pulling his pants off!

Old Mrs. Yang and her family hurried over and pulled Yuan over to take a look.

"You unlucky child! I thought you were stolen!"

Li came up and hit her on the head, then picked her up again.

Yuan held back tears, covering his buzzing head, unable to believe it:

"I was looking for officers and soldiers for my family, but you hit me on the head!"

Soldier: "Great fight! You almost pulled my pants off! This kid just wouldn't listen!"

If it wasn't for the fact that my brothers were changing shifts, I would have been considered deserting my post! I would have been punished with twenty military sticks at least!"

The officer said angrily, sucking his teeth and looking at the family's miserable appearance:

"What kind of bastards did you run into?"

The officers and soldiers thought that they would not get into trouble if they were dressed like this, but then they looked at their nice carriage:

"Tsk, why don't you pretend to be poor completely? You look like you have some money but no power to rely on. Did you run into Lai San and his gang and steal from them?"

Lao Fu had neither money nor power, but he did not rush to refute. He reached out and touched the place, and found that almost all the money was gone.

Fu Dabai cupped his hands:

"Sir, excuse me for asking you, how could such a thing happen under the feet of the emperor?"

In Lao Fu's eyes, this place should be more peaceful than other places.

The soldier sighed again: "I can tell you're from out of town. This happens all the time. Be careful and get used to it!"

The officer said this and was about to leave.

Fu Sanbai asked hurriedly:

"Sir, please stay. What if I go to the government to sue these people?"

Fu Sanbai didn't say everything, but his meaning was to ask whether he could sue and whether the lawsuit would be effective.

The official responded quickly, smiled and said:

“You can sue, but even if you get caught, you won’t get your money back.

These people are like rolling meat on the chopping block. They lose money as soon as they get it, and they have no support from big trees. What can you do to them?"

The official left after he finished speaking. Lao Fujia thanked him and didn't waste any more time.

Looking at the people around who are pretending to be deaf and dumb, I feel extremely bad about this place.

I thought it was a good place, but it turns out to be a place where only turtles who hold their breath can live long.

People like them should just blame themselves for their bad luck when something happens to them?!

The more they thought about it, the more upset they felt. So the family found a dead end and turned into it. They squatted together and counted the remaining money.

They knew they were unlucky, so in order to prevent the money from being lost all at once, they deliberately divided it up and each person hid a portion.

If they hadn't put them together, who could have guessed that they would run into a group of thieves who were robbing people in broad daylight!

The family members some were selling their shoes, some were taking off their cuffs, and the rest was left with this little money.

Most of the money in the carriage was stolen. Xingzi, Niu Wa and Hu Nao tried to stop them but failed and were almost kicked.

The little that is left now adds up to about eight taels, which is about the same as what was left before meeting Eunuch Qian and the others.

Back to the most difficult time!

The whole family was stunned for a long time.

Old Yang pointed at the carriage, breaking the solemn and sad atmosphere:

"It's okay, I can sell this car and get at least a few dozen taels, and then find a place to stay first.

Don't be so sad, it's not that difficult. We lived with hunger every year when we had no other options, and now we have this car..."

Old Yang was encouraging everyone when someone suddenly asked:

"Your car? Selling it for two taels?"

The alley was not big, and the old Fu family was afraid that people would see them coming in, so they turned the carriage sideways and blocked it tightly.

Suddenly hearing these words, the whole family stood up, came to the front of the car, and glared at the people coming across the horses.

"Are you crazy? Two taels? You can't even buy a good coffin board!"

As the family was cursing, Fu Dabai felt that there was someone on the other side, so he walked to the side and poked his head out:

"Damn it! That thief!"

There were two people coming, both of them looked very ordinary, and looked very similar. At first glance, it was hard to tell who was who.

The difference was that one was wearing a conspicuous silk and satin dress, while the other was wearing ordinary clothes made of coarse cloth.

The man in the coarse cloth was the young man who stopped their family from finding trouble!

"Are you that Lai San?"

Fu Sibai also saw it and pointed at the young man and asked.

The other party patted his chest and said without any guilt: "It's me!"

Then he gestured to the person next to him:

"This is my second brother, Lai Dagui, a serious scholar.

And my eldest brother, Lai Dafu, is the chief steward of Shengyang Marquis's Mansion, but people like you may never see him in your lifetime."

"Who wants to see him!" Old Fu Jia glared at him and crawled over to catch him.

The two brothers were originally expecting these timid expressions, but when they saw this posture, they quickly took two steps back.

Lai San had been hanging out on the streets for years, and he figured out what was going on in no time:

"Stop! Are you crazy? Do you know what an Earl's Mansion is? It's almost the same as a Prince's Mansion. The Earl is just a little bit inferior to the Prince!"

The action of catching people suddenly stopped. They still knew what a prince was. The emperor's brothers were princes, and it would also be mentioned in the play.

They couldn't afford to offend the manager of such a family.

Still a little doubtful whether it was true or not, Lai Dagui put up a sign with the words "Shengyang Marquis' Mansion" on it, which made people feel upset.

The soldier also said that they had their backs against a big tree. If you think about the reactions of the people, it is true.

The whole family squatted down again, too sad to speak.

After about a cup of tea, the two brothers of the Lai family had enough of showing off.

Lai Dagui threw down two taels of silver, Lai San took the reins, and the two of them swaggered out of the alley.

The silver coin bounced on the brick floor and landed in front of Fu Dabai.

Fu Dabai picked it up and took a look:

"Such a nice car is worth this much?"

Fu Sanbai looked up and squinted at the sky. The sun was so bright that his eyes were red.

"Fuck! Life is worthless! In a place like this, even if we get beaten to death, it would be in vain!"

"Who do you think is better, that eunuch Qian or Qin Mingyi, or the Shengyang Marquis' Mansion?"

Fu Dabai asked as if he was puzzled.

Who could have guessed that the whole family was squatting in a dead end alley in this unknown capital city?

I feel like I'm stuck in a dead end with no way out. There is only one way forward, and I don't know which way it leads!

"It's hard to survive if we continue like this. Can we still find Fubao? If we can't find him, what are we doing here?"

Wang, who hated Fubao the most, was also visibly confused, and was not sure whether it was right to run here on impulse.

Yuan looked at the adults and whispered:

"Come and save your dignity!"

Fu Dabai stood up, stretched his legs, and said:

"That's right! If you don't fight for your dignity, what's the point of living if you don't fight for anything!

We must not only survive, but also live well. Fubao, the three brothers of the Lai family, sooner or later we will find an opportunity to settle the accounts.

Okay, okay, now that I have nothing left, I don’t have to worry about it anymore. Let’s find a place to live first!”

The whole family stood up and walked out of the alley. With only ten taels of silver left, they had to keep going forward whether they had the courage or not.

The courage I mustered up was broken again in the inn!

"The woodshed, not the guest room! It's the woodshed!

"Five hundred coins for one night? Half a dollar?! Uncle, are you trying to rob me?"

A Yuan was leaning against the counter, revealing a sad little head.

Looking at the heartless shopkeeper, she felt as if she were looking at a real bandit, and the word "uncle" was her last act of courtesy.

The shopkeeper paused as he was fiddling with the abacus, then raised his eyelids and looked at her:

"The minimum is four hundred coins. If you think it's too expensive, get out. My price is the lowest in the city. If you want a cheaper price, go to the West Market.

There are inns and dormitories that cost ten cents a day. There are all kinds of people in them. Do you, men and women, young and old, dare to stay there?"
