The young man leading the way had already fainted, leaving only Monkey trembling with his legs. After making sure that there was no danger, Bai Ling 'er walked over with a smile and kicked the monkey in the knee. The monkey fell to its knees with a cry.
"Hero, please spare my life! It was really the shopkeeper who forced us to do it! Otherwise, even if this little one ate the guts of a leopard, he wouldn't dare to have any ideas about the two of you!”Monkey kowtowed like pounding garlic. Dumb snorted coldly and didn't say anything. Who knew that this snort would actually make Monkey even more afraid.
"Hero, hero, I'm telling the truth! It was really instructed by the shopkeeper. My family is a farmer. I have an old mother and haven't married yet. For my old mother, I have to take care of my own life! If it wasn't for the shopkeeper saying that I should either rob you or get lost, I really wouldn't have done this! Hero, please spare my life!"
Bai Ling 'er wasn't interested in listening to this kind of bitter drama. She interrupted the monkey's wails." Do you still dare to say that in front of your shopkeeper?!"”
"I dare, I dare, of course I dare!" When Monkey heard that there was still a way out, he hurriedly nodded, indicating that he would fully cooperate.
Bai Ling 'er sneered and gestured for Er Dai to pick up the one lying on the ground. She then led the living one back like a monkey.
The three of them were half-dead when they reached the city gate of Huanghua Town and were caught by the yamen guards guarding the gate. The officer sized up Bai Ling 'er and Erdai, then glanced at Monkey and the young man who had been unconscious for a long time. He could not help but ask," What are you doing? Aren't these two guys from Shun Feng?"”
Huanghua Town was only so big. If the East Gate fired a cannon, the West Gate would immediately hear it. Everyone in the town knew each other. Bai Ling 'er also knew this bailiff. Usually, everyone called him Uncle Li.
When Bai Ling 'er heard Uncle Li's question, her mouth twitched and her eyes turned teary." Uncle Li, you have to stand up for Ling' er." Ling 'er came to the city today to sell ginseng for money. She wanted to buy some seeds to give to her parents, so she went to Shun Feng Store. Who knew that the shopkeeper of Shun Feng Store would actually have the intention to rob me of my silver on the way. Fortunately, Erdai protected me with martial arts! Uncle Li, I, I, if we lose this silver today, what will happen to our family!”
Everyone loved the weak, especially Uncle Li, who had been a bailiff for many years. He hated evil. Hearing Bai Ling 'er's words, he immediately grabbed the shackles and was about to go with her to the Shun Feng Bank to arrest her!
"Ling 'er, don't be afraid! This guy actually dared to commit a crime right under my nose! Uncle Li will support you. Let's go! See if I don't catch him and throw him in jail!"
Bai Ling 'er followed behind Uncle Li, feeling wronged. Dumb looked at her teary eyes, smiled, and followed with the murderer.
Bai Ling 'er deliberately took advantage of Uncle Li's sympathy for the weak to make him think that she was the victim. This way, no matter how eloquent the manager of Shun Feng Line was, in Uncle Li's eyes, he was just trying to quibble.
Although there were witnesses and material evidence, who knew if there would be any other tricks! Therefore, it was better for Bai Ling 'er to be on guard. There was no harm in preparing more.
Reality proved that Bai Ling 'er's preparation was really necessary.
When the team of four people turned into five people and arrived at Shun Feng Bank, the manager of Shun Feng Bank was stunned at first. Then, he ran out and asked Uncle Li obsequiously," Constable Li, what brings you here today?"”
"He Second, come over here! Tell me if this is your buddy!”Uncle Li's loud voice rang out, and the people in the surrounding shops poked their heads out to see what was going on.
He Er was the shopkeeper of Shun Feng Bank. His short and lean body stood on the threshold. He stared at Monkey and the other youth for a long time before he slowly admitted,"Arrester Li, this is indeed a buddy of Shun Feng Bank, but he has already been fired by me. I don't know what they have done to be arrested by you?”
Bai Ling 'er choked on her breath and almost wanted to beat the shopkeeper to death! What did he mean by fired? He clearly wanted to cut ties!
Uncle Li obviously didn't believe it either. He kicked Monkey and let him speak for himself.
Monkey recovered from his initial shock and cried," Shopkeeper! You can't do this! I have an old mother. If you want me to take the blame for you, what will happen to my old mother?”
As the saying goes, men don't cry easily. This monkey's tears were like they were free as they fell down." Shopkeeper, you said it. If Zhu Zi and I snatch this young master, we'll take most of the money. We won't have to work for the rest of our lives! If you hadn't said so, we wouldn't have had such bad intentions!”
"You, you're talking nonsense! Don't slander me!" He Er's goatee rose as he glared at his little mouse eyes and scolded," You clearly bear a grudge against me for firing you and deliberately framed me! Arrester Li, you have to be careful! This monkey stole the silver from the counter in my shop. I didn't have the heart to send him to prison because he had an old mother to take care of him. I let him live. Who knew that he would bite the hand that fed him!”
"He Second, don't be anxious!" Uncle Li was also worried. If he wanted to say that Second Brother had ordered others to kill and rob, it was because of Monkey's mouth.
Words had no evidence. If it was really as Second Brother said, and Monkey was deliberately framing him, it was not impossible.
Bai Ling 'er suddenly said," The shopkeeper is kind and kind. He's a good person." However, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the shopkeeper to tell everyone when you chased this monkey out!”
Erdai looked coldly at Second Brother. Before he could speak, he threw the half-dead waiter to the ground.
He Er was shocked and fell from the threshold. He pointed at the pillar and said,"This, this, this is what you guys did?”
"Let's not talk about it first. Shopkeeper, tell me first when you fired these two people.”Bai Ling 'er smiled. She didn't have any killing power, but she wanted to tear this shopkeeper into pieces and smash this black spot into pieces!
However, she couldn't do that. She had to convince everyone. She had to make everyone feel that it was only right and proper for her to smash the shop!
"I…I sent him out last night!”He swallowed hard and did not dare to look into Erdai's eyes.
Bai Ling 'er didn't get angry. Instead, she laughed and pointed out the loophole in Second Brother's words." You sent him out last night, and now you only know how to follow me out of the city to rob money?" Could it be that this monkey had the ability to predict the future?”
"Speak, it might be a pillar!" He was stubborn and looked at Zhu Zi, who was lying on the ground like a dead pig. He simply pushed everything onto him." Zhu Zi was chased away after he picked you up!”
"Arrester Li, talk nonsense to Second Brother!" Before Bai Ling 'er could say anything, some of the onlookers were already unwilling. In this day and age, people were more down-to-earth and were brave enough to fight against bad people. Bai Ling 'er was quite satisfied with this result.
Hmph, Second Brother, you dare to continue making up lies!
A lie was still a lie. No matter what, he was still a lie. There would always be loopholes.
Bai Ling 'er turned around and looked at the person who had refuted her and Second Brother. When she saw that it was a middle-aged man, she was shocked. If it was a young man, she would have thought that he was hot-blooded. However, at this age, he had already seen through some things and would not act so rashly. Why would this person stand up for her?
The middle-aged man looked very refined. If it weren't for the fact that someone beside her said that he was the shopkeeper of Yuan Heng Hang, Bai Ling 'er would have thought that he was a private school teacher.
When Uncle Li saw that someone had come out to testify against He Lao Er, he quickly put on a stern face and asked the reason," Shopkeeper Du, you can't talk nonsense.”
Shopkeeper Du stroked his beard, which was comparable to Second Master Guan's, and swept a glance at Uncle Li, as if he didn't want to lie." Second Master He, you fired Monkey yesterday, so why did he still open your shop today?" Don't even think about denying it. The surrounding neighbors saw it clearly!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding neighbors exploded. They all said that the one who opened the door as soon as possible was Monkey.
He was so angry that his face turned red. In the end, he said something that didn't match his words." He, he wants to make up for his mistakes!”
The surrounding discussions grew louder and louder. Shopkeeper Du sneered at He Lao Er, making his hair stand on end. After the surrounding voices gradually quieted down, Boss Du asked slowly,""He Er, why is it that three to five out of ten guests who leave your house are assassinated or robbed? Others might not know, but I, Yuan Hengxing, have been your neighbor for many years. I've been keeping an eye on how many guests come in and out of your house every day! Hmph, did the victim of the murder case three months ago come out of your shop? Half a year ago, why was the medicinal herb merchant in Feng City robbed on his way out of your house? Arrester Li, I dare to use my reputation as Yuan Hengxing to guarantee that there must be a problem with Second Brother!”
"There is indeed a problem!" This conclusion was not said by Arrester Li, but by Shopkeeper Qian, who opened the money house.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Shopkeeper Qian tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying," A few days ago, when I had nothing to do, I did an accounting. I realized that the money that Second Brother and I had saved in our bank was already more than three million taels of silver. I was curious, so I carefully looked at the account book related to Second Brother. Indeed, after those people were in trouble, Second Brother and I would deposit a large amount of silver in the bank.”
By the time everyone reported this, they could no longer clear their suspicion of Second Brother. Bai Ling 'er glared at Second Brother angrily and shouted,""You old man! It was fine if he was ugly, but he was actually so vicious! Such a person who disregarded the law should be torn apart by five horses!”
Seeing that the situation was not right, He Er turned around and wanted to run into the shop. Erdai seemed to have been prepared for this. He grabbed He Er by the collar and threw him to the pillar.
After a moment of dizziness, Zhu Zi's entire face turned purple. He jumped in shock and sat up with a thud.# Daguan reviewed: Daguan Time:111420184: 32PM #Cancel review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
