Chapter 138 Debt Repayment is a matter of course
Just when the two of them were eating to the point of forgetting themselves, a short man suddenly appeared from the side table. Not very old, up to thirty years old. From his pustule face, you can see how dishonest this man's hands were when he was an adolescent.
The pus-filled man walked straight towards Lu Fusheng's table, and when Lu Fusheng and Ouyang Zhi didn't react, he lifted the small low table in front of the two of them and was about to lift it up.
This man is just an ordinary person, no matter how fast he is, how can he be faster than Lu Fusheng. But before Lu Fusheng could make a move, Ouyang Zhi took the lead in pressing the pus-filled man's arm, pulled it back, and pressed the pus-filled man on the low table.
One thing, it may be the ancestral action of Mo Shang's small shop, as long as the war starts at the table. Whether it was Lu Fusheng or Lin Cailian, the first reaction was not to protect himself, but to subconsciously protect the dishes on the table.
"Boom".
I saw Lu Fusheng holding a steak with both hands and a lamb skewer on the other. Like a frightened little rabbit, looking at Ouyang Zhi in front of him holding a red willow tree, he was forced in front of the pus-filled man's eyes.
Ouyang Zhijiang angrily asked, "Say, who sent you?"
"No one sent me. ”
The pus-filled man who was pressed on the table stared at the willow wood that was a fraction of a mile away from his eyes, and he was about to pierce his own eyes. gasping for breath, he said: "I came by myself, if you owe me money, you should pay it back, this is a natural thing, and someone else has to be dispatched there." ”
"I owe you money? Who are you? I don't even recognize your face. ”
Seeing that it was a misunderstanding, Ouyang Zhi let go of the pus-filled man who was about to lose his breath, and asked, "Tell me, who are you? Why do I owe you money? ”
Ouyang Zhi said "reasonable" while touching the long sword hanging from his waist. It is clearly a threat to the other party, although Ouyang Zhi thinks that he is just coming to collect debts, so he can't help but let go of the puss man, otherwise there are no rules, the puss man is right, the debt should be repaid. Otherwise, if you don't comply, your younger brother will go out to collect debts, but he won't be able to pay attention.
But this matter fell in Lu Fusheng's eyes, but he felt that it was not such a simple matter, according to Ouyang Zhi's reputation in Bo'an City, few people dared to rush in front of Ouyang Zhi to collect debts. Even if Ouyang Zhi borrowed money from this pus-filled man, looking at the pus-filled man's clothes, the money he owed should not be a large amount.
Although it is said that for people who have no money, a copper plate is life-saving money, but for this copper plate, to offend the famous underground king in Bo'an City, Ouyang Zhi, the leader of the Zhijing Gang. I believe that no one dares to put this matter on the table and say it. Even if you ask for money, it shouldn't be in front of so many people on the street.
If you let the people underground lose face and break the rules. This pus-filled man is bound to die a terrible death.
That is, after a few breaths, around Lu Fusheng and Ouyang Zhi, there were already crowds of onlookers eating melons. Originally, the West Market, where people came and went, was completely blocked after such a toss, and it was impossible to get through at all. In this way, if Lu Fusheng and Ouyang Zhi don't fly off the wall, they will also not be able to get out.
The pus-filled man got up from the small table, coughed constantly, and then took a big breath, but the dense crowd around him could be described as really airtight, making the pus-filled man feel that breathing was a luxury for the first time.
The pus-filled man covered his throat with one hand and pointed at Ouyang Zhi with the other, he couldn't speak for a long time, and recovered for nearly half an hour before he spoke: "I'm just a small tofu seller, pushing tofu in front of your house every day, can you remember?"
Ouyang Zhi thought for a long time before he remembered and said, "It turned out to be you kid." But ......"
Before Ouyang Zhi could continue, the pus-filled man immediately interrupted Ouyang Zhi's words, and said loudly in front of the onlookers: "Don't you just owe me a month's tofu money? In your eyes, it is the money for a meal, but in the eyes of ordinary people like us, but the rations of a family, sir, you can do it, give it to me." ”
Ouyang Zhi frowned and didn't make a sound. The surrounding crowd was also pointing, and some of the streets were mixed with the idleness of the past.
"Let's put it this way, sir, have you eaten my tofu?"
Lu Fusheng felt a chill on the side, listening to this kind of pun words, and then looking at the rough Ouyang Zhi, and the man with pus on his face, although he knew that the pus-filled man was speechless, but he couldn't stop Lu Fusheng from exerting his infinite imagination. Lu Fusheng, who was disgusted, hurriedly ate a few bites of tempting mutton skewers and suppressed the shock.
Ouyang Zhi said with a disdainful face: "Eat." ”
"Sir, then you can pay the money, okay?"
The pus-filled man leaked an expression of successful trickery in an instant, and was inadvertently discovered by Lu Fusheng. Looking at Ouyang Zhi's expression again, it was easy to guess what would happen next. Sure enough, although on the surface, King Wei and the crown prince have reconciled and temporarily eased up. But he still secretly stumbled and found the field.
The pus-filled man gritted his teeth and said to the onlookers around him: "You are unreasonable, such a big person, eat my tofu, and don't give money." Big guy, tell me, isn't it unreasonable?"
Suddenly, it resonated with the surrounding melon-eating masses, and from time to time someone raised his arm and shouted: "It is natural to borrow money to repay debts." Borrowing to repay money is a matter of course. ”
"It was premeditated. From the time we entered the West Market, we were already targeted. Lu Fusheng squinted at these onlookers and said softly: "The group performers invited there, the acting skills are really good." ”
The pus-filled man was scorching, and in Lu Fusheng's eyes, he looked like a mouse dancing in front of a cat. It's all a sign of death.
While stroking mutton skewers, while waiting for Ouyang to stop getting angry, the pus-filled man should know how beautiful it is to be alive.
But things didn't happen as Lu Fusheng imagined, no matter how the pus-filled man shouted, Ouyang Zhi didn't make a move, but just kept answering the pus-filled man's two words: eat it, don't pay it back.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ouyang Zhi doesn't know the pus-filled man at all, and he has never eaten the tofu sold by the pus-filled man. The reason why I say this is because the people of the rivers and lakes have the face of the people of the rivers and lakes.
If you haven't seen anyone who comes, it means that there is no overly large circle. Even if he is not a pustule man today, he will find someone on the street and ask Ouyang Zhi if he has seen it, and Ouyang Zhi will answer that he has seen it, and it is also to give the other party face.
The pus-filled man also predicted that Ouyang Zhi would definitely say that he had seen him, so he continued to guide Ouyang Zhi and fall into the trap he dug step by step. In addition, there are accomplices among the surrounding people, and in Bo'an City, the big guys look down on people who don't speak the law the most, and it is natural to denounce them together, so the plot is perfect, and it follows the design of the pus-filled man.
The pus-filled man framed Ouyang Zhi, and Ouyang Zhi could only recognize him as a person from the rivers and lakes, otherwise he would lose face. If you don't eat it, you just eat it. To give or not to give money is not to give. can only answer like this, otherwise no matter which answer is changed, it will seem that Ouyang has lost his arrogant energy. If Ouyang Zhi changed his words, he said that he didn't eat or paid. This kind of compromise-seeking practice was spread by the surrounding masses, and Ouyang Zhi would not be able to mix in the underground of Bo'an City in the future. The brothers under his hands, no one will listen to them anymore, a boss with no deterrence.
The pus-filled man said sinisterly: "In that case, then we have to see the official." ”
Ouyang Zhi stood up, faced the pus-filled man, puffed up his chest, and said, "Lao Tzu is not frightened, and the official mansion is not unbeen." What about the officials. ”
——————
The official mansion of Bo'an City
"Mighty...... Mighty ......"
Lord Qingtian sat in the center of the main hall, with a mirror hanging high above his head.
Kneeling under the hall were Ouyang Zhi and the pus-filled man, and outside the hall were the crowds of people who came to watch the excitement from the West Market. Anyang has never been short of people watching the excitement, and when they watched the excitement, they all stretched their necks like ducks to watch.
Especially in today's Bo'an City, if there are people on the road who fall to the ground in a violent illness, or who overturn and fall and are injured, there are all passers-by who are watching or even happy, but there are very few people who are willing to reach out to help.
Lu Fusheng stood by the officials on both sides, "watching the excitement" at close range. But it's not just to watch the excitement, after all, Ouyang Zhi is King Wei's person, and if something happens when he is with him, it is inevitable that King Wei will blame him in the future. After finding someone to go to the Wei Palace, Lu Fusheng also followed the yamen in a daze.
In order to be able to start a role, Lu Fusheng had already hidden the treasure bag for a long time before he ascended to the hall, and took out the token given by the king, and Lu Fusheng thought that the token that could pass through the entire dark square of Bo'an City should have some effect.
Facts have proved that Lu Fusheng's idea is correct, when Lu Fusheng took out the token, the county official of Bo'an City directly knelt on the ground to worship, which was a bit like seeing the king.
Lu Fusheng did not directly explain the reason, but only asked to accompany the court trial, where did the county official dare to say a word, if Lu Fusheng agreed, even if Lu Fusheng wanted to sit in the position of the county official to try the case, the county official would agree.
The county official is in the lobby, and on the surface it is beautiful, but in fact, he is forbearing. The trembling hand picked up the startling wood and knocked it hard, and the crisp sound suddenly quieted the entire lobby. There is no majestic voice, no more chatter from watching the lively crowd. There was no more threatening voice from Ouyang Zhi's ear in the pus-filled man's ear.
"Who is in the hall, and what has you done?"
The county magistrate looked at Lu Fusheng's eyes while interrogating the case under the court. This may be the most intense case the county official has ever heard. I don't know which side this lord with the king's token is parting. I can only bite the bullet and judge one step at a time.
The pus-filled man was the first to speak, and repeated what happened in Xishi to the county magistrate one by one. In the process of telling, tears flowed down his face, as if he had been wronged. If it weren't for Lu Fusheng seeing it in advance, the pus-filled man's inadvertent eyes, he would have thought that Ouyang Zhi was really the kind of bully who didn't even give the peddler tofu money.
