Chapter 360 Different hearts

The wrinkled insteps, naked, slowly walking in the morning light.

It was still a little cold in spring. The cold floor tiles made the old man walking barefoot unconscious. He only had a white single trousers on his body, covered with blood, and a bandage wrapped in his right hand. His face was expressionless, and there was sadness between his eyebrows. The old man lowered his head and said incomprehensible syllables in the air.

There were people coming and going on the streets, and no one paid attention to such beggars, but they could not bear the bloody smell on his body. In the past, people from the street department had already come up to drive them away, but no one came here today.

"That person looks familiar"

"Why are beggars starting to appear here? What are the people in the street department doing for food?"

Someone wanted to go up, so he frowned after walking a few steps, then retreated, looked at the aimless old man walking in the middle of the street, and immediately turned around and left. He pointed and said something from behind, vaguely letting the walking figure tremble and his head lowered. While walking, he found a small alley with a few people, sat down against the wall, and cried.

The vendors passing by the streets and alleys passed by and looked at him strangely. Some people sneered and spitted, while some people stopped, maybe they saw an old man crying alone, and they were also a little sad, and they lost something in front of the other side.

A piece of cake that was about to be finished fell not far from the old man's feet. Cai Jing choked and saw the small piece of cake at his feet. He stopped crying, and the only complete palm that was left trembled and stretched over.

The old man hasn't had a drop of water in one day

Outside the streets, there was a crowd staggering. A monk was about to go and take away the broken pancake. Liu Jin grabbed the shoulders of the person next to him and shook his fingers, "You don't need to go."

He nodded and looked over. A figure rushed out from the dark corners of the streets and alleys, snatched the small piece of cake on the ground in his hand. The old man rushed over. The beggar, dressed in rags, messy hair, and covered in dirt and smelly bodies, kicked away the pounced figure fiercely, opened his mouth and ate the cake into his mouth and swallowed it.

Then he glared fiercely at the old man who was lying on the ground, turned around and hid in the dark corner and lay down, scratching the lice, as if waiting for the arrival of the night.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

On the ground, Cai Jing was sobbing and crying hoarsely, his fingerless palm wrapped around the ground and patted it. Blood oozed out of the bandage and flowed onto the ground. His body shrank and rolled, and he burst into tears.

Outside the alley, Liu Jin was watching this scene narrowing his eyes: "Right Prime Minister, now the right Prime Minister has fallen to the point where even beggars can bully him, tsk tsk"

The deputy nodded and sneered disdainfully: "It's not good to offend anyone, I have to offend the Supervisor. What a good person is our Supervisor's wife. We are waiting to kill outside, but these literati are making trouble behind the scenes and the wife is gone. If it were me, I would have to peel off my skin and cramps."

"You? Humph, take care of yourself. Forget it, let's not talk about this old guy, you should keep an eye on it. Our family is going to have a meal too. Don't let this guy eat something. The Supervisor said that he would starve to death and he would not die on others."

"Don't worry, brothers are still aware of the matter."

Liu Jin nodded and turned around to a nearby restaurant with a few fans. The deputies waved, "Everything will spread out. Someone will come to take the shift later. You can watch it first. Let's go to the tea shop to have a cup of water, which is convenient."

"Yes!" The subordinate bowed his hand

Jinliang Bridge, the other side of the streets.

What happened in the dark corners was no one noticed the past on the street full of morning light. On the second floor of the tea shop opposite, Cai, one of the old man's sons, grabbed the teacup tightly. Opposite him was a woman wearing red flowers and wearing a red dress, with her skirt dragged on her feet, and her delicate face frowned, with a little sad look.

However, the man opposite her had no intention of appreciating it.

"How could my father, the eunuchs from the East Factory do such a thing as a bully?"

Indignation, Cai's voice became a little louder, and the people sitting next to him looked over. He kicked him at the woman sitting and lowered his voice: "Seventh Master, Jingyan, that day, the East Factory entered the mansion to arrest people. When my husband and I heard the movement, it was too late, so we immediately escaped from the backyard to find you, so we would not be captured by the eunuchs of the East Factory. Now Cai Xiang is surrounded by Dongchang's men, and we must have fallen into the trap of each other when we go up. Before you, several Cai Xiang's disciples have been arrested."

"What if I do?" Cai put down the teacup with a cracked teeth, buried his head with tears in his mouth, and did not dare to look at the desolate figure in the alley, "My Cai family is over!"

Cai Jing, who was incredible, suddenly fell down, which no one could predict, and many people had not even reacted, and things had become unshakable.

It makes people shocked and terrified.

While the other party was talking, the Red Flower Ghost Mother kept looking at the crying figure in front of her, showing a look of boredom, but a smile appeared on her face: "The Seventh Master should not be so despair. As long as Cai Xiang has descendants, there will always be a day to rehabilitate. Moreover, my husband knows a secret from the East Factory. As long as you can go out and shout, the righteous people in the world will naturally seek justice for hundreds of lives in the Cai family."

"What's the secret?" Cai Meng raised his head.

"Let's talk about leaving the city. Today, the new emperor ascended the throne and the Jurchens have retreated. The city gate will be opened for three hours. It is the time to escape from Bianliang."

"Okay! I'll ask you both to save the Cai family and his life. In the future, I will repay you as the Prime Minister's Office."

Aunt Gongsun nodded with a smile. Then she got off the teahouse with Cai and disappeared quietly at the back door, and walked into the street entrance of Tongwangximen.

Not long after, near Xinzheng Gate, there were a large number of vendors who were about to leave the city. The people were crowded and waiting for the city gate to open. Aunt Gongsun changed into an ordinary woman's outfit, washed away the dew, and hid in the crowd with Cai, who had also changed his clothes.

"Where is Mr. Jin? Why didn't he see him?"

"My husband is nearby, because his face is a little ruined and he is easily recognized with silk cloth. He should be hiding under a carriage."

"So that's too much."

The morning light rose, and the golden color spread above the city.

In the direction of the imperial city, the bell sounded.

On the city tower, the commander got the general and shouted to the soldiers below.

The soldiers holding long spears stopped the ready-to-move crowd to maintain order. The heavy city gate opened the thick door bolt, making a crackling sound, and slowly opened with the sergeant's vigorous push.

"Let's listen to those who are entering and leaving the city. Recently, bandits have been scrambling into the city and are about to check everyone!" The sergeant guarding the door exclaimed this and emphasized for a moment.

Suddenly, in the team leaving the city, a female shouted: "There are thieves here, Cai from the Cai family is here."

In the crowd, Cai widened his eyes and looked at the woman who made a sound beside him, and pointed his hand tremblingly. The moment the words "You, you, you, you, vicious" were exited, dozens of soldiers rushed over in the city gate followed the sound, and the crowded crowd suddenly became chaotic.

The woman immediately called a carriage to rush out of the city gate in the chaos. More merchants and people rushed out behind her, breaking out the chaos that another team wanted to enter the city.

In the chaotic scene, a woman was hit by a figure who was quickly coming out.

The man beside him immediately rushed up and supported her, "Shi Shi, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

The woman shook her head and looked at the towering city gate tower, and suddenly she showed a trace of inexplicable timidity. "I don't know if Yi'er still recognizes her mother, Shishi is a little afraid to go in."
