   Chapter 123 Difficulty finding an official

   Forcibly break into the house?

   The leading officer looked at the crying beggar kneeling in front of him, and then at the girl with a fire stick, his face suddenly suspicious.

Of course, the middle-aged beggar did not admit the crime, got up and said: "Little lady, don't talk nonsense, we are all poor homeless people, we have been kneeling and begging you to give us your kindness, how dare you do something like breaking into the house. Woolen cloth!"

  Lin Hao turned to the side and pointed to the door: "Then why are they in the courtyard?"

  Everyone took a closer look. There were a few black beggars among the group of children in the courtyard. Their messy hair and tattered clothes made them stand out like chickens.

  Xu Shi was just looking at the fun, but he didn't expect the fun to come to him. Several beggars looked sluggish, each holding a roast chicken that had eaten most of it in their hands.

  This strange scene made everyone forget to react for a while, and the scene was instantly quiet.

   At this moment, a six- or seven-year-old boy burst into tears, pointing at a few beggars and complaining, "Not only did they force their way into the house, but they also robbed us of the roast chicken we were going to eat at night!"

   The middle-aged beggar's complexion changed greatly, he raised his foot and rushed in.

   A few idiots forget to come out, so why do they still eat roast chicken!

   A black fire stick lay in front of him.

   "Master messenger, he will forcefully break into the house in front of you!" Lin Hao complained angrily.

   The leading official said with a sullen face: "Since this is the case, then come back to the yamen with us."

   The middle-aged beggar hurriedly knelt down in front of the leading official: "I'm wronged, the untouchables just want to call them out, not force their way into the house!"

   Of course, the leading officer did not think that the beggar boss dared to mess around in front of him, but how did the few roast chicken eaters explain it?

   More importantly, he suddenly remembered the identity of this girl who made him feel familiar: she was the second girl of the General's Mansion!

   In the spring, the Lin and Wen families went to court and were sentenced to be a husband and wife. Both Mrs. Lin and her daughters went. It was rare for a wealthy couple to make trouble like this, and he was inevitably impressed.

  Although he didn't know what was going on between the second girl Lin and Qi'er, why would he not be willing to sell his feelings.

   "What about them? Why would they be in someone's yard if they didn't force their way into the house?"

   "Also, they stole our roast chicken..." the boy added while crying.

   "Forcibly breaking into a house and robbing it is one more crime. Take it away!"

   With the leading officer waving his hand, several yamen officers gathered around, looking at a group of beggars who were at a loss for what to do.

   "Boss, are you taking everything away?" one of them asked lately.

   So many beggars, it’s not worth taking them home to manage their meals.

   The leading officer was reminded and looked at Lin Hao subconsciously.

  Lin Hao smiled considerately: "The messenger will take away the person who broke into the house and the leader. I think everyone else is bewitched."

  Other beggars hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, we are deceived!"

  It doesn't matter if you follow the trouble and get beaten and scolded a few times, who's in jail?

   It would be easy to take only these few people, and immediately two yamen officers held down the middle-aged beggar.

   The middle-aged beggar shouted injustice: "Master, they accidentally fell in when they knocked on the door, they didn't force their way into the house!"

   "Where's the roast chicken in their hands? Is it someone who invited them to eat?" The lead official sneered.

   The middle-aged beggar was stagnant, anxious and confused.

   Just when he went out to entangle him, those idiots still had the time to grab the roast chicken?

   After such a stunned look, the middle-aged beggar was dragged forward by the yamen, and the people watching the fun hurriedly gave way.

   "Sir, listen to my explanation, listen to my explanation—" The middle-aged beggar's heart-wrenching shouts got farther and farther away.

  The beggars were also taken out by the yamen, and one of the beggars mustered up the courage and said to the leading officer: "Master, if you say that the roast chicken is the kid who invited us to eat, would you believe it—"

   Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked by the leading officer: "Go away!"

   As the yamen took the beggar to leave, the people watching the excitement followed a distance out of curiosity.

   The leading officer who was behind lowered his voice: "Miss Lin, it's a mess outside, go back to the mansion early."

  Since it is selling favors, of course, the other party must know that he knows her identity.

  Lin Hao listened to these words and smiled slightly: "The messenger does things in a fair manner and relieves the people's worries. When I go back home, my family will definitely thank me on my behalf."

  I am very transparent with Lin, and the leading officials are very satisfied.

   The meaning of this is that if you have received his love, there will be a thank you when you return.

   Being able to be a small leader in the yamen is naturally knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and the leading officer immediately decided to keep those beggars locked up for how long to see what the second lady Lin wanted.

   "Miss Lin is very polite. It is my duty to maintain law and order."

   As soon as the leading officer was about to leave, those beggars who were not taken away immediately dispersed, and the front of the Lin house was soon empty.

  A Xing reached out to close the door and walked to Lin Hao's side.

   "What happened just now?"

   "I asked Baozhu to report to the official." Lin Hao looked serious, "If there is any difficulty, I must find an official."

   The corner of A Xing's mouth twitched, and it was hard to refute this in front of so many children, so he asked about the roast chicken.

   There are still tears in the corner of the boy's eyes: "It was really those who took the initiative."

   He just listened to Miss Lin's words and stood beside the beggars with the roast chicken, and they reached out and took it.

   Watching his dirty hands take away the fat roasted chickens, the tray was empty in the blink of an eye, and his heart was broken.

   Entered the room and there was no one else around, Ah Xing's eyes fell on Lin Hao's face.

  Lin Hao looked inexplicable: "Why do you look at me like this?"

   Ah Xing did not speak for a while.

  I thought Ah Hao was a silly girl who was ignorant of world affairs and had a lot of money, but now it seems that he is clumsy.

   Her kindness is based on people.

   This discovery made Ah Xing even happier.

   "I didn't expect those rogues like dog skin plaster, you will solve it as soon as you come." A Xing said with emotion.

  Lin Hao held the cup with a smile, as if he had been drinking tea leisurely in the house: "I said, if there is any difficulty, we will find an official post. We, who are incapable of our own duties, can't fight rogues head-on."

  A Xing was silent.

   Ordinary people who would look for officials if they have nothing to do, it's too late to hide.

   "Those troublemakers are expected to be locked up until the beginning of next year. Those beggars shouldn't dare to pester them again this winter."

   "Spring next year?"

  Lin laughed: "There is a cell to keep out the wind and snow, and I also take care of food, so I can survive the winter in peace."

  A Xing was silent.

  Why do you suddenly feel that those rogues have made money?

   "Do you want to go home together?" Lin Hao got up.

  Axing shook his head: "You go back first, I'll go back after I've dealt with the matter here."

  Lin Hao left with Baozhu, and met Qi Qiong on the way back.

   "Ah, where have you been? I asked your house when I went out and said you had already left."

   "A friend asked me out."

  Qi Qiong didn't know who his friend was, so he held Lin Hao's hand and smiled, "Ah, just wait until dinner and come back. I know a good place to eat mutton pot."
