Chapter 6: I would rather die than give in
Nangong Rou's face was full of doubts, and she couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why should we refuse if uncle can give us something delicious?"
Jiang Zhige declined Shen Quan twice, even she could see that Jiang Zhige didn't want to enter Shen's residence.
Jiang Zhige didn't have time to answer Nangong Rou, and stared at Shen Quan sincerely.
Shen Quan's face gradually became gloomy, and he said coldly, "Boy, do you really want to be ignorant?"
Originally, I thought to stabilize Jiang Zhige first, and then find an excuse to shoot Jiang Zhige away after entering the Shen residence.
Nangong Rou's heart skipped a beat. Why did the uncle, who had a gentle face just now, suddenly become a little scary?
Seeing this, Jiang Zhige even concluded that Shen Quan was not a good person, he put his hands together and bowed, pretending to be sad, "Uncle, you should do it well, let's go."
"Hmph, you're pretending to be crazy and foolish? It seems that you won't change your mind if I don't teach you a lesson today."
Shen Quan snorted coldly and gestured to the guard behind him.
He is not stupid. Judging from Jiang Zhige's previous shrewdness, he must be deliberately selling out at this time.
When he's far away, he might even scold him behind his back that Shen Quan is not something.
Seeing this, the steward of the Shen residence changed slightly, and said anxiously, "Patriarch, they are just children..."
"Don't talk nonsense, this little girl, I'm going to make an appointment today!"
Shen Quan's eyes were gloomy, anyway, his Shen residence's reputation in Yucheng was already very bad, so what if it got worse?
The two Shen residence guards looked indifferent and strode towards Jiang Zhige with sticks in hand.
"Rouer, run!"
Jiang Zhige's face turned pale, and he hurriedly stood behind Nangong Rou.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Rou was so frightened that she stood on the spot, only pulling Jiang Zhige's clothes corners and trembling.
She has been sheltered by her family since she was a child. Where has she seen such a scene?
Shen Quan looked at Jiang Zhige with his hands on his back, and sneered, "Till this kid changes his tune, remember, don't hurt the little girl, especially her face."
"You, aren't you afraid that I will report to the official?"
Jiang Zhige gritted his teeth, Yucheng was located at the border, and there were troops stationed in the DPRK and China, so Shen Quan should not dare to make a big issue.
Shen Quan pouted and sneered: "It's ridiculous, I, Shen Quan, have contributed a lot to Yucheng. If I report to the official, will the official help me, or help you a beggar?"
He said that, in fact, he was still a little afraid, otherwise he would have dragged Nangong Rou into the house.
After all, Jiang Zhige was not very old, so he was a little scared, thinking that the Shen residence was a big family with hands and eyes.
"Call me!"
In order to avoid long nights of dreams, Shen Quan immediately ordered the guard to do it.
The two guards sighed inwardly. If it wasn't for the situation, they would not want to do anything to a skinny little beggar.
Jiang Zhige pulled Nangong Rou around and wanted to run, but was pulled back by a guard.
Another guard stepped forward and grabbed Nangong Rou's little hand to prevent Nangong Rou from escaping.
Jiang Zhige still wanted to break free, but the next moment he was hit with a fist and a golden star appeared.
The guard kept his hand and did not hit him with a stick, but Jiang Zhige was too weak, and he was dying after three punches and two kicks.
"elder brother!"
Nangong Rou cried anxiously, trying to save Jiang Zhige, but the guards grabbed her hands tightly.
People passing by nearby stopped when they heard the sound, and when they saw it was in front of the Shen residence, they immediately guessed what happened.
They stood in the distance and pointed, but no one came forward to help them.
In fact, Shen Quan's notoriety has long been known far and wide, and many people hate him to the extreme, but Shen's family is rich, who would dare to really touch the bad?
Seeing Shen Quan bullying a pair of young siblings, some people didn't even dare to stop.
"Homeowner..."
Seeing this, the guard hurriedly put his hand away, if he killed someone, he would definitely be pulled to take the blame.
Shen Quan waved his hand, walked to Jiang Zhige, who fell to the ground, and asked proudly, "Boy, I'll ask you again, would you like to enter my Shen residence?"
Jiang Zhige had bleeding from his nose and mouth, and turned his head to look at Shen Quan with difficulty.
At this time, his eyes were full of killing intent, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Today... if I don't die today, I will destroy your Shen family in the future..."
Jiang Zhige knew that even if he was lucky enough not to die, Nangong Rou would not be able to escape the poison.
Shen Quan shuddered, and was so frightened that he took three steps back.
"Hit! Give me a stick and beat me to death!"
Shen Quan has lived for decades and never thought that he would see killing intent in the eyes of a nine-year-old beggar.
And beggars have always been carefree, if they really want to get revenge on him, it will definitely be a big trouble.
The guard swallowed his saliva, bent down and picked up the stick.
He raised his stick at Jiang Zhige, hesitating for a long time, but still couldn't hit it.
"Hit! What are you hesitating?"
"But Patriarch, his body is too weak, and he will die if he fights again..."
Shen Quan looked mad, and shouted angrily, "What do you pay for to feed me? If you don't fight, I'll get out of here!"
He just wanted to kill Jiang Zhige to avoid Jiang Zhige's revenge.
The guard gritted his teeth and raised his stick at Jiang Zhige again.
In this day and age, it's not easy for anyone to live, and he doesn't want to lose such a beautiful job as the guard of the Shen residence.
"stop!"
At this moment, an old man in a white robe wearing a bamboo hat walked out of the crowd.
Hearing someone discouraged, the guard immediately took back the stick.
Another guard also took the opportunity to pretend that he didn't catch Nangong Rou, and wanted to give Nangong Rou a chance to escape.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Rou showed no signs of escaping at all, and rushed over to support Jiang Zhige, who was dying.
"Brother! Brother, don't die!"
Seeing Jiang Zhige's miserable appearance up close, Nangong Rou burst into tears, thinking that Jiang Zhige was about to die.
Jiang Zhige wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, forced his face to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, Rouer, brother is fine..."
Nangong Rou's cry was a little slower, but she kept choking.
Shen Quan raised his brows slightly, turned to look at the person coming, and asked, "Who are you? Dare to meddle in my Shen family's business?"

Not to mention that in the entire Yucheng, at least in the nearby area, his Shen residence has the final say, and daring to oppose it is tantamount to seeking death.
The old man in the white robe ignored Shen Quan, he walked to Jiang Zhige with his hands on his back, and asked with great interest, "Little friend, your sister has become the servant girl of Shen's residence, so that the two of you will be able to live without food, why do you fight with all your might? ?"
Nangong Rou sucked her nose and looked at Jiang Zhige with a bit of incomprehension.
When Jiang Zhige rejected Shen Quan for the second time, she felt very strange.
Obviously, as long as she became a maid, she and her brother would not worry about food and clothing, and her brother would not be beaten. Why did her brother refuse?
Seeing the confusion in Nangong Rou's eyes, Jiang Zhige raised his hand and touched her small head, and said with a wry smile, "Rou'er, do you know what being a maid means to you?"
Nangong Rou was tearful, shook her head and said, "No, I don't know..."
She just wanted to keep herself and her brother fed and clothed, so how could she manage so much?
Jiang Zhige didn't explain too much, looked a little more serious, and said in a deep voice: "Rouer, remember, I'd rather be a beggar than a slave, as long as I'm still there for a day, I will never let you be a slave or a maid. "
