Chapter 18 Searching for People
"Yuan'er, it's getting late. Go home early! Remember what your mother told you!"
After giving another instruction, Li Qingxue watched her daughter get on the carriage.
"Sister, you don't have to endure the grievances. Remember that your big brother is backing you up." Liang Zixiao straightened his chest, and his fierce eyes were full of tenderness.
Liang Weiyuan knew that her father Liang You favored his concubine over his wife, and if her brother and mother had nothing to rely on, they would sooner or later be avenged by Liang Shanyu.
She had to find an opportunity to find an official position for her elder brother.
Liang Weiyuan nodded, said goodbye to her parents and brother, and got on the carriage.
Zhushu lowered the curtain, and Jushu urged the carriage to start, slowly driving away from the general's mansion.
After the carriage left the general's residence, Liang Weiyuan put away the smile on her face and said to Jushu, who was driving, in a low voice, "Change the route and go to the dark alley."
"yes."
Ju Shu followed the instructions and changed his route immediately.
Mei Shu and Lan Shu, who were sitting in the car with Liang Weiyuan, looked at each other in confusion.
"Miss, the dark alleys are full of all kinds of people. It's getting late now. Why do we want to go to the dark alleys at this time?" Mei Shu asked.
"Looking for someone."
Liang Weiyuan's words are concise and to the point.
Mei Shu and Lan Shu looked at each other again, still confused.
Who is my girl looking for?
The dark alley is located in the north of the capital city and is the most chaotic place in the capital.
This place is home to refugees, thugs, down-and-out scholars, and pitiful people who have nowhere else to turn. They are the lowest class of people under the emperor's feet.
When they reached the entrance to the dark alley, the carriage could not go in because the intersection was too narrow.
Liang Weiyuan put on her hat and got off the carriage, leaving Jushu to watch over the carriage and taking the three maids Meishu, Lanshu and Zhushu into the dark alley.
The alley was dirty and messy, with a lot of useless garbage thrown on the roadside, flies and mosquitoes swarming around, and even homeless people living on the roadside.
When those ruffians saw Liang Weiyuan and the other brightly dressed girls, their eyes lit up and they looked at them greedily as if they had seen some prey.
"Miss, be careful." Mei Shu asked Lan Shu and Zhu Shu to protect Liang Weiyuan, and he also looked around carefully to prevent anyone from hurting his girl.
Just at this moment, several dirty and skinny beggars crawled over and reached out to grab Liang Weiyuan's dress.
"Girl, please be kind! Give me some money to live on!"
Mei Shu was quick-witted and quick-handed, and stopped Liang Weiyuan behind him.
Lan Shu and Ju Shu flew forward together, their moves were quick and accurate, and they restrained the beggars in just a few moves.
"No need to hurt them." Liang Weiyuan ordered.
Those beggars must have not eaten for several days. The two maids in the family subdued them with almost no effort, which showed that they were already exhausted.
In addition, there was no malice in their eyes when they rushed over. Liang Weiyuan came to look for someone, not to be a bully.
Throwing some copper coins on the ground, Liang Weiyuan continued to move forward with her three maids.
"Thank you, girl! Thank you, girl!"
The beggars kowtowed repeatedly to express their gratitude to Liang Weiyuan from behind, and then began to scramble for the copper coins on the ground.
Liang Weiyuan didn't look back. Just from the sound of their voices, she knew how much they wanted the money. She couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
In her previous life, she was driven out of the mansion and became homeless. She also begged on the streets and lived worse than these people.
She knows what it feels like to be hungry and cold.
The master and his two servants continued to move forward, but before they had gone far, a few ruffians surrounded them.
The leading thug was a scoundrel with a straw in his mouth and a frivolous look in his eyes.
"Where are you going, ladies? You look like strangers to each other. Do you want us to lead the way for you? We know this area very well!" Riley said with a smile, his obscene eyes moving around Liang Weiyuan several times.
"Do you know Chen Mancang's family?" Liang Weiyuan was not angry and spoke in a calm voice.
"Chen Mancang?" Riley said, as if suddenly realizing something. "So you're here to look for that old man's house! Okay, all you girls have to do is play with us for a bit, and when you're done, we'll take you there."
Looking at the wretched appearance of the bald man and the others, Liang Weiyuan curled the corners of her mouth and waved to the three girls beside her.
After receiving the signal, Mei Shu and the other two, who had been wanting to take action for a long time, quickly rushed forward.
These hooligans dared to tease their girl, they are looking for death!
The three girls were originally trained in martial arts, so dealing with a few thugs was no problem at all for them.
Despite the cramped environment, the three girls moved as fast as ghosts, making it impossible to catch their shadows. In addition, the thugs had no time to react, and they were beaten in no time at all, leaving them screaming in pain and unable to resist.
Several thugs fell to the ground and wailed, no longer able to act arrogantly.
The bald-headed man was the most seriously injured, with a bruised face and nose, and a broken leg. He fell to the ground crying and shouting. If you didn't know, you would think he was going to die and that was why he was screaming so miserably.
Mei Shu thought the bald-headed man was too noisy, so he grabbed his hair and slapped him in the face like a slap in the face.
"Shut up! If you keep making noise, I'll cut off your tongue!"
Baldy was frightened. He endured the burning pain on his face and closed his mouth.
I originally thought that these beautiful young ladies were weak and helpless, but unexpectedly they were living devils.
If I had known, I wouldn't have come to provoke them.
"Where is Chen Mancang's home?"
