Thirty miles on the east bank of the Baiyu River is the Imperial Horse City.

The high-rise mansions in the city of Yuma City, the merchants are numerous, all industries are prosperous, the population is dense, and it is a prosperous and lively scene.

Qiu Huaici led Shangguan Li'er and Xicao, the two apprentices, to walk slowly in the market.

Xicao and Yun Shu'er are the same temperament, more active, like to be lively, this box, scurrying around the market, look here, look there, no stop.

"Master, come here and take a look, there are people beating children here!"

Yucao squeezed into a crowd on the side of the street to see the excitement, and suddenly shouted, that is, he quarreled with people, shouting and cursing loudly.

A female voice scolded Yucao back, her voice was sharp, full of foul language, extremely ugly,

Qiu Huaici was stunned for a moment, then walked over, and also squeezed into the crowd, standing in front of people, at a glance, but saw that in front of the door of this big restaurant, Xicao was disheveled, and was pulling each other's hair with a woman, scuffling together, and scolding angrily.

Qiu Huaici frowned and shouted, "Li'er, pull the two of them apart!"

Shangguan Li'er stepped forward, pinched the wrist of the woman who was tearing and beating Xicao, twisted it, waited for the other party to be in pain, let go of the palm that was pulling Xicao's hair, and she pushed it harder, and pushed the other party to a staggering ground and fell heavily to the ground.

Shangguan Li'er tidied up Xicao's clothes, combed her hair with her fingers, and saw that Xicao's face was scratched by the other party with a few red marks, shook her head, and chuckled: "Xiaocao, you are a very powerful person on weekdays, why did you suffer a loss as soon as you got started today?"

Xicao shook her palm, shook a handful of hair on her hand, glared at Shangguan Li'er, frowned and pursed her mouth, and shouted angrily: "Senior sister, my qi has been wasted, and I have no strength in my body, how can I beat this!"

The woman sighed, fell to the ground, touched her head, and saw that a large handful of hair on her head was torn off by Xicao, and the pain was incomparable.

"You waste, you're deaf, why don't you hurry up and go out and see, who's making trouble?"

With a loud reprimand in the house, a group of big men rushed out of the restaurant, they grabbed kitchen knives, wielded sticks, and some also carried benches, blocking the women's surroundings, their faces trembled with horizontal meat, gritted their teeth, and stared at the lively people with vicious eyes, posing as who bullied just now...... , I'll kill whose posture comes.

When the onlookers saw this desperate posture in the restaurant, the timid ones were afraid of the disaster of the fish pond, so they were so frightened that they ran home, and some of the bold ones retreated to a distance, thinking that they were in a very safe place, staring at Qiu Huaici and the others fixedly, their eyes were shining, their faces were excited, and they looked like they were not too big to see the excitement.

A burly man, with a square head and a big face, a cross-faced, and dark-skinned man, slowly walked out of the restaurant with a big belly, and saw the woman who had been helped up, and immediately showed a gentle and flattering smile on his fierce face, took a few steps forward, held the woman's arm, and asked softly: "Luhua, what happened?"

Ran Luhua rolled her eyes, glanced at the man, angrily pushed away the man's palm, crossed her waist with one hand, pointed at Xicao and Shangguan Li'er with the other, raised her eyebrows, and shouted: "Fang Youde, these two rotten hooves jumped out of the chicken nest I don't know where they came from, they actually took care of the old lady's affairs, dared to bully the old lady, you go and beat them to death, and make the old lady angry!"

Fang Youde's eyes were glaring, and his eyes showed a fierce light, but when he saw that Xicao and Shangguan Li'er were young and beautiful, they were not ordinary people, his heart trembled, he was envious, and he was stunned for a while, and he forgot to deal with Xicao and Shangguan Li'er for a while.

There was a snap, and the sound was crisp.

Ran Luhua saw that Fang Youde looked at Xicao and Shangguan Li'er's eyes were straight, full of lust, and he didn't make a move for a long time, he was angry, and he stretched out his hand to give the other party a big-eared scraper, and scolded: "Old thief, you can't take your eyes off when you see beautiful rotten hooves, didn't you hear what the old lady said? Don't you hurry up!"

Fang Youde is a soft eater, afraid of his wife like a tiger, came back to his senses, touched his red and swollen cheeks, smiled at his mother-in-law, and stared at Xicao and Shangguan Li'er, his face was hideous, and he shouted: "You, you beat these two rotten hooves to death, kill it and count it as mine!"

Those guys got the boss's order, and they rushed forward in a fierce swarm, and those knives, sticks, and stools greeted Xicao and Shangguan Li'er in one go.

Qiu Huaici saw that they had no grudges against each other, but these guys were very vicious, completely trying to take people's lives, so he was angry, his brows furrowed, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Qiu Huaici's arm stretched out, his palm was open, and a mysterious force was stimulated in his palm, and the mysterious force enveloped the restaurant guys, and the guys seemed to be frozen, unable to move, but they still maintained the posture when they were slashing, and they looked very funny.

The guys struggled for a while, and they could still move a little there, knowing that they had met a master, their faces changed in fright, their hearts and galls were split, their thoughts flashed, and they hurriedly begged for mercy: "Immortals, immortals, spare lives, spare lives, spare lives!"

Qiu Huaici's face was expressionless, and he asked lightly, "Does my apprentice have a grudge against you?"

The guys hurriedly shouted: "No, no, no!"

Qiu Huaici said: "Since my apprentice has no grievances with you, why do you want to be so ruthless and want to kill the two of them!"

The guys were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly begged: "Immortals, immortals, we were wrong, we were wrong, we didn't dare in the future, we didn't dare again!"

Qiu Huaici shook his head and said: "You have a cruel heart and a poor character, just because you are not my opponent, you are forced by the situation to apologize to me, if I easily spare you, you will definitely continue to do evil in the future, so you must be punished today!"

Fang Youde and Ran Luhua saw that Qiu Huaici used mana to freeze the guys, and when they knew that the master was coming, they were startled, their faces changed greatly, and they couldn't see it well, so they slowly moved to the door, wanting to enter the house and escape from the back door, but when they saw a white shadow flashing, Qiu Huaici stood in front of them and blocked their way.

Qiu Huaici asked lightly, "Are you trying to run?"

"Didn't run, didn't run, didn't run!"

Fang Youde and Ran Luhua came back to their senses, ah, screamed and jumped up, took a few steps back, that is, their knees bent, and they both knelt in front of Qiu Huaici, kowtowed like garlic, and begged: "Immortals, spare your life, spare your life, the little one is wrong, the little one knows that it is wrong, don't dare, don't dare to do anything wrong next time!"

Qiu Huaici asked Xicao: "Xicao, you shouted just now, someone hit the child, who beat the child, where is the child?"

Xicao stepped forward and dragged out a seven-year-old boy from behind the door pillar of the restaurant, pointed at Ran Luhua, and pointed at the little boy he was leading, and shouted angrily: "This poisonous woman was beating this child with a stick just now, and the stick was broken, and she didn't stop, and her heart and eyes can be regarded as vicious!"

Qiu Huaici glanced at the little boy, and saw that the little boy was unkempt, with yellow and thin muscles, and was dressed in tattered clothes, his clothes were full of dust and dirt, like a beggar!

The little boy's head hung down on his chest, his thin body trembling like chaff, and he was obviously very frightened in the face of so many people.

Qiu Huaici said: "Xicao, let me take a look at his body?"

Xicao unbuttoned the little boy's clothes and let Qiu Huaici check it, and everyone waited to see the little boy's body, and their hearts trembled, and they felt cold.

It turned out that the little boy's whole body was swollen and purple, there was not an inch of intact skin, there were whip wounds, stick wounds, knife wounds, burns, scabs, scabs, and no scabs, new wounds and old wounds, injuries on top of injuries, it was really shocking and miserable!

Shangguan Li'er saw that the little boy had suffered such a cruel and inhumane abuse, her heart trembled, she was extremely sad and angry, she stared at Fang Youde and Ran Luhua, her eyes breathed fire, she gritted her teeth, held the sword in her hand, and moved to kill.

Qiu Huaici was stunned for a moment, endured his grief and indignation, stepped forward and bent down to personally dress the little boy, touched the little boy's face, smiled warmly, and comforted softly: "Child, don't be afraid, Master will call the shots for you today, I must make those who oppress and abuse you pay a heavy price!"

The little boy glanced up at Qiu Huaici, and hurriedly lowered his head, that is, he secretly glanced at Fang Youde and Ran Luhua, but still didn't dare to say anything.

Qiu Huaici straightened up, glanced at the restaurant owner and his wife, and asked in a deep voice, "Say, what's going on with those scars on the child's body?"

Fang Youde glanced at Ran Luhua, his lips moved, but he was afraid of guilt, and he didn't dare to speak after all.

Ran Luhua glared at Fang Youde, saw the appearance of the man's nest, her eyes widened, her eyebrows raised, and she wanted to be mad at the man, but the thought flashed, and seeing that Qiu Huaici was present after all, she didn't dare to be presumptuous, thinking about it, her eyes flashed, and she hesitated: "This little cub...... , his hands and feet are not clean, and he steals food in the store, and I am in a hurry, so I will behave at a loss and beat him!"

Qiu Huaici said: "No, right! If he was beaten by you just for stealing food, then at most, he would only have new injuries on his body, but now he will have so many old injuries on his body, obviously caused by the abuse he has been subjected to on a daily basis, how do you explain those old injuries?"

Ran Luhua's eyes flickered, and she quibbled: "...... He, his injuries were beaten by others, and they have nothing to do with me, nothing to do with them!"

Qiu Huaici asked again: "Who is this child yours?"

Ran Luhua hurriedly replied: "It's a little beggar from outside!"

Qiu Huaici shook his head and said, "No, right! If it is a little beggar from outside, if he is beaten by you, he will already die, how can he drill into your house? Obviously, this child is a child in your family, but this child is not your own, am I right?"
