Chapter 38: Looting

The sharp whip that resounded in the store made Ling Yueyuan's smile even more bewitching. He hadn't used the Red Flame Whip before www.biquge.info and was still thinking about how to use it, but suddenly saw the shopkeeper Wang who was sitting on the ground slumped on the ground and suddenly got up with a panicked face, and wiped his head past him and was about to flee out the door!

Belch?! Want to slip away? Ling Yueyuan was in a hurry, so she naturally clenched her whip and swept towards the king's shopkeeper's feet!

There was another crisp sound, and the agile Red Flame Whip was like a black python, grinning fiercely and tearing apart the trouser legs of the shopkeeper Wang's legs, and slashing two bloody marks on the flesh!

"Ahh The shopkeeper Wang, who was running happily, suddenly felt that his hind legs were burning as if they had been burned by the blazing flames, and then a fierce wind pulled his legs, dragging his lower body to the ground, but the upper body still maintained a forward momentum, so the unbalanced whole person slammed forward to the ground. When he tried to get up again, his lower back was suddenly pressed down by the weight, forcing him to lie on the ground again, unable to move.

"Run! What do you run! Ling Yueyuan, who caught up, raised his right foot and smashed it on the back waist of the shopkeeper Wang, as if he was stepping on the shell of a big turtle, and the turtle under his feet shook his limbs desperately but couldn't escape. He already had a general understanding of the power of the Red Flame Whip, so the strength of the whip when he swung it again weakened a lot, but the momentum of his speech was still high: "Say! Why are you running! Isn't it a thief with a weak heart! ”

"It's not...... Wow!! The movement around Ling Yueyuan was much gentler, and the moment the whip landed on his ass and bounced up, it still brought indescribable pain to the shopkeeper Wang, so painful that he screamed with almost all his strength, startling the few gossip spectators who were watching in front of him to take a few steps back as if they felt the same way.

"Not? How dare you be dishonest! You're just empty-hearted! Ling Yueyuan was very angry, and the strength of the whip increased slightly; And so, the whipped of anger with the wishful thinking of the master was once again sprinkled on the ass of the dishonest king's shopkeeper.

The action and the sound it caused were like playing a piano. The difference is that the keys that were pressed were played, but there was a hoarse howl: "Ah~~!! Stop it! Be! I'm empty-hearted!! Yes~~~~!!! ”

……

The screams of the shopkeeper Wang were quite hard, and the sound of Ling Yueyuan's whip matched very well, like the shouts of greeting and selling, attracting more and more gossip and boring people to visit the store.

Then, the continuous influx of spectators gradually consciously formed one circle after another, so that later people even had to stand on tiptoe and go around the surging heads to see what was going on in the center of the encirclement.

The sound of chatter, whispering, and the sound of screams and whips gradually blended together.

Most of the people's faces were relatively blank, but the few people standing at the front had richer expressions.

"Oops...... It's cruel, it's cruel...... Lynching is abused in broad daylight, and no one is in charge...... The world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient......" Uncle Zhang, who had a sense of justice, frowned and turned his head away, and raised his left palm to cover his face, as if to block the cruel picture in front of him. However, he had no intention of going out to report to the official to take care of things at the moment, on the contrary, he stayed in place, under the expression of not being able to bear to look at it anymore, a pair of eyeballs desperately squeezed forward through the cracks of his fingers, and without blinking, as if he did not let go of the slightest detail of the punishment of the king's shopkeeper; The frowning eyebrows even shook with the sound of whipping, which was quite a bit of joy.

"Cut! This kid didn't give his all at all! The fat aunt who stood at the front and closest to a with a disdainful face hit the nail on the head: "If you are really beaten, it will not be painful to death, at least it will be so painful that you can only hum, where can this beaten person scream loudly for so long?" It's clearly acting! Not strong enough! She seems to have a lot of experience, and I don't know if she has been whipping her unlucky husband at home for many years. This fat aunt looked like she was gearing up, and she seemed to be eager to rush forward and snatch the whip, and then teach Ling Yueyuan what the supreme realm of pumping people was......

"That's it! This black shop has been doing evil for so long, I think it's too light! The person who spoke was a sloppy dressed idler, he gloated at the beaten dog's legs all over the ground, excited as if the person who had just made a name for himself was himself, and got carried away, a pair of salty pig hands climbed on the shoulders of a rather beautiful young woman next to him, and at the same time a pair of thief eyes also turned around in confusion: "Huh? Isn't it, Wang sister......"

"Wow! Don't touch me! I know you very well, huh?? The young woman, who had just been fascinated by what she had just seen, was awakened by the cockroach-like object that had crawled on her shoulders, and one of the spirits jumped to the other, glanced at the idler in disgust, and then swept her shoulders with a frown, as if to brush off the nasty traces. It was a long time before she stopped to look again, and the foolish gaze ...... But it was Ling Yueyuan's handsome face.

……

Ouyang Xiaoling watched the number of onlookers around him gradually increase, and vaguely seemed to be pointing fingers at him, and suddenly felt a burst of heat on his face. She, Xiaoyi, and Xiaoxin went all the way south from Hangzhou, and they also fought in several places, but they were always quick and quick, and the people around them also fled as far as they could; How did you come here, but there are so many onlookers who are not afraid of death?

Thinking of this, Ouyang Xiaoling glared at Ling Yueyuan with dissatisfaction: he had fought happily enough, but he played the role of an escort diametrically opposed to before, standing quietly in a daze and not speaking, and enduring the guidance and gaze of others......

And the next moment, Ouyang Xiaoling remembered that in his previous journey, he had always silently protected his wayward sister and Xiaoyi, and suddenly had mixed feelings. Well, my sister and Xiaoyi, I don't know where they have been......?

……

Ling Yueyuan seemed to be indulging in an incredible game at this moment, and even the corners of his mouth were curled up in disharmony.

"Say! How can you loan shark roll so much interest! What is the maximum monthly interest! Do you have the law here?! Before Ling Yueyuan's words fell, the whip in his hand had already been patted.

"Ahh I said, I said~! The voice of the shopkeeper Wang is still loud, and he is worthy of being a person who makes a living from his mouth: "This month's interest is all interest, compound interest is calculated, of course it is more than twelve months a year...... Yes~~!! This is the rule of the trade~~!! Wow! The commercial law stipulates that the maximum is only three points, but we also have to make money...... Yes!! No, it's my lust, ah! Three years ago, the drought was a maximum of eight cents a month, ahhh......hh Stop it! ”

"Eight points! You beast, why do you put it so high! Ling Yueyuan whipped the whip again.

"Ah......h At that time, the grain harvest was poor, and the boss specially instructed that on the one hand, usury loans should be issued on the basis of rice, and on the other hand, rice would be hoarded for speculation, and both could make profits...... Ahhh~~!! I'm just the person in charge!! It's not my idea, be merciful, ah! ”

As soon as the shopkeeper Wang's words came out, the crowd was in an uproar. In fact, this is a well-known fact, but the words admitted by the organizer himself are always different; What's more, now that there are many people who are bold, and the black-hearted shopkeeper was trampled on the ground by Ling Yueyuan, a bird in his early stages, the crowd of onlookers began to make bursts of indignant noises, saying things that dared to be angry before.

"Shameless! Lust for profit! ”

"Hit him! Hit him! ”

"Smoke him to death!"

The crowd was surging but no one dared to stand up and beat the shopkeeper Wang for the time being, but Ling Yueyuan was happy to follow the public opinion, so his hand whipped down, and he continued to interrogate after the crisp sound: "Say!" In addition to usury, what other bad things have been done! Why do you raise such a bunch of dog legs! Isn't it all done for robbery, abduction, and deception? ”

"Ah~!! No, no, no......" The shopkeeper Wang panicked, and was about to deny the past, but unexpectedly, he ate a few whips on his waist, and he was so painful that he had gradually lost his mind: "Ahh~~~!! I say! I say!! This pawnshop and the money bank colluded with the Guanghong Gang, often giving them information about rich customers, and helping them sell the stolen goods! also colluded with them to rob rich guests from other places!! Ahh~~!! Don't fight, it's killing me~~~!!! ”

"Out of town!" Ling Yueyuan was shocked, and she slapped the shopkeeper Wang with all her strength: "Did you plan to rob me too?!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare...... Yes!!! The shopkeeper Wang was already sweating, but the whipping that fell on his body still did not stop, and his eyes turned black: "Yes, I thought about it at first!" I was wrong, ahhh!! It's that I don't know Mount Tai, I have eyes and no beads, and I messed with the wrong fairy grandfather!! I was wrong, don't fight~~~!! ”

"And!" The angry Ling Yueyuan whipped and continued to torture: "What did you mean by what you said you were going to pawn that girl just now!" Have you ever done anything like human trafficking!! ”

"Ahh......h I say, I say...... Hmph, hum ......" The shopkeeper Wang was already shouting with no strength, and he was so painful that he could only hum: "When the disaster was in the famine, there were indeed wives and maids, but they were all what you and I wanted...... Ahh......h No, no...... That's right, it is human trafficking, selling it to large families as slaves and maids...... Hmph, hmph......"

"It's so shameless!" Uncle Zhang, who was in the crowd, finally put down his hand that was blocking his vision, pointed to the shopkeeper who was lying on the ground, humming like a dying boar, and denounced loudly: "Lose all your conscience, lose all your conscience!" ”

"Shameless!" "Beast!!" "Hang it up and kill it!" The anger of the onlookers was finally ignited, and even the crowd began to push and shove, and a few particularly indignant and bloody young men stepped forward, as if to beat the king's shopkeeper.

Frightened, the shopkeeper Wang shrank and wanted to retract behind the counter, but he was trampled on by Ling Yueyuan and couldn't move, and suddenly he had to cry and beg the executioner who whipped him to death: "Shaoxia, Shaoxia!" I've explained everything, you have to save me! ”

"Save you?" Ling Yueyuan scoffed: "Then it depends on what you do!" You say, should the old farmer's land deed and house deed be returned to him? Principal and interest are not collected! ”

"Still, still, again! Gratis! At this moment, life is more expensive than money, and the shopkeeper Wang nodded violently: as long as he doesn't return his life, everything is easy to discuss.

"The Bu Shao and Ye Ye Mingzhu just now are also going to be taken back, and I won't do business with your black shop, do you have any opinions!"

"No opinion, no opinion!" Shopkeeper Wang turned his head and shouted at the frightened guy behind the counter and Zhao Sijiao, "Did you hear that?!" Go and get this son and young lady and Bu Shao and Night Pearl...... There is also the land deed and house deed of the old gentleman of the Zhong family! ”

"Oh, oh......" The man ran to the storeroom.

After Zhao Sijiao hurriedly put away the pawn tickets and contracts on the counter, he sneaked out of the back door.

"Well, finally!" Ling Yueyuan nodded with satisfaction, his eyes swept over the emotional audience, and made another request: "You have scavenged enough ill-gotten gains in this store!" Isn't it time to subsidize the money and materials that were exploited before? ”

"Ugh." The shopkeeper Wang was dumbfounded, and only after a long time did he say perfunctorily: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Whoever owes it, he should pay it back to whomever he owes; Whoever you got it from, you should compensate whomever you wanted! ”

As soon as the shopkeeper Wang's words fell, a loud female voice suddenly exploded.

"Wow~!" The fat aunt who was standing at the forefront rushed to the front of the shopkeeper Wang with a menacing cry, and two fat hands stuck his neck and shook violently: "My daughter was deceived by traffickers the year before last, and it turned out to be your poisonous hand!" I'm just a yellow flower girl! You're going to make it up to me!! ”

"Vomit, vomit...... There is something to say...... "The shopkeeper Wang was stuck out of his tongue, and finally got rid of it, and when he looked at the person who came, he immediately frowned: "I said Aunt Lu, you also have to be reasonable!" Your daughter ran away from home the year before last, and she was deceived into selling flowers, but what does it have to do with me? What's more, just because your ugly girl is like a ghost, won't she be returned to others after being sold for less than half a day? Isn't she still staying in your house, how can this be on my head! ”

"Whew!" The fat aunt spit on the face of the shopkeeper Wang, and then slapped him so much that Venus flashed in front of him: "My daughter's experience is bad enough, you dare to insult her!" If you don't compensate me today, I'm not done with you! ”

"It's good to say, it's easy to say, I'll compensate, I'll compensate ......" The shopkeeper Wang covered half of his face in pain, his current thugs were all paralyzed to the ground, and he had to honestly soften himself when he couldn't even beat a.

At the beginning of the fat aunt, the crowd behind shouted one after another, like a sea of anger.

"Woooooooooo......oo I borrowed a gold here at the beginning of the year, and at the end of the year, I asked me to return the hardware...... This black shop! You also have to pay me back four gold! ”

"I didn't have time to repay the money for a day last month, and I took away the house for him, so I couldn't return home, and I was living on the streets, and my life was so miserable~!!"

"The last time I walked out of this pawnshop, I tripped over the deathly high threshold and broke my front teeth! This is a lucky tooth!! You have to compensate me too!!! ”

"I passed by the door of this shop yesterday morning, and because I glanced at the sign on the top of the door, I lost a lot of money gambling in the afternoon! How are you going to compensate me! ”

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded by the increasingly outrageous demand, but he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach: Fuck you sons who have fallen into the ground, sluts, bastards! I usually don't dare to put a fart, but I dare to take advantage of the fire to rob ......!

……

"This buddy, son, young master...... The house deed, the field deed, the step shake, and the night pearl are all here......" The errand boy put his things down on the edge of the window of the cabinet bar with a panicked face, and hid in the unknown corner again.

"Oh!" When Ling Yueyuan heard this, he stepped over the shopkeeper at his feet, turned around and walked towards the counter.

The shopkeeper Wang, who had been trampled on and couldn't move, was finally free, but as soon as he got up, he saw that he was surrounded by angry people approaching step by step, and the sound of twittering claims was endless, and he couldn't help but swallow a breath of cool air.

After putting away Bu Shao and the Night Pearl, Ling Yueyuan handed the house deed and the field deed to the old farmer, and smiled and comforted: "This old man, this house deed and land deed are here, put them away, it's okay." ”

"Thank you, thank you......!" The old peasant was so tearful that he couldn't speak, and could only repeat these words constantly, but after a while, he still glanced at the king's shopkeeper timidly: "The money owed......

"Of course you don't have to pay it back, so what does the beast do with him?" Ling Yueyuan comforted him with kind words: "You better go home as soon as possible, don't worry about the matter here." ”

"Okay, okay." The old farmer burst into tears and laughed, turned his head and was about to call his granddaughter next to him home, but he saw that the girl was looking at Ling Yueyuan stupidly, and suddenly became happy: "Xue'er, what are you looking at, we are going home, don't thank others soon." ”

"Ahh..................h The little woman's surname is Zhong, and her single name is a snow character ......"

Looking at Zhong Xue's eyes full of autumn water, Ling Yueyuan suddenly panicked, of course, he knew what information the other party was transmitting immediately, and of course he knew what the other party wanted to know about himself, but he didn't dare to think about what would happen next...... In a hurry, he was haunted by the cold, and he pretended to be an idiot incoherently: "Haha! Just call me Xiaoyuan! Hehe! Well! If it's okay, it would be better for you to go back sooner! It's getting dark! ”

"Oh......" Zhong Xue's eyes flashed with a look of disappointment, but she still remembered the title "Xiao Yuan".

Even, she may remember it for the rest of her life.

"Well, let's go." The old farmer looked at Zhong Xue with a smile, turned around and pulled her, and left from the crowd of onlookers.

That Zhong Xue took the old farmer's arm and walked away step by step, but she still looked back at Ling Yueyuan from time to time, her eyes seemed to be full of reluctance.

……

When the figures of the old farmer and Zhong Xue disappeared outside the door, Ling Yueyuan reached out and patted his chest, breathing a long sigh of relief. Just a moment later, he suddenly remembered one thing: the old farmer's sales contract and pawn ticket...... It seems to be still on the counter! Just stay, will you find fault with the black-hearted shopkeeper ...... in the future?

So, after coming to his senses, Ling Yueyuan hurriedly turned around to look at the counter, but saw that it was already empty, Zhao Sijiao and his men had fled to somewhere, and the contracts and other things on the counter were nowhere to be found, and I don't know if they had been put away in the filing cabinet before Zhao Sijiao left.

Then force your way in! Ling Yueyuan, who had never had too many scruples about doing things, quickly found the location of the wooden door that connected the inside and outside of the counter, so he walked to the door with a whip, and after taking a deep breath, he let out a loud shout, and with his right hand, he waved the red flame whip with all his might, and swept towards the cabinet door!

The long whip, which was originally black and shiny, flowed through bursts of translucent red light in an instant, and slammed into the wooden door as fiercely as a fierce beast burning with burning fire. After a loud "boom", the wooden door, which suddenly seemed weak, was as if it had been struck by a fierce hammer, and it actually sank into it a little.

"Oh!" Looking at the black whip with a faint red light all over his body, Ling Yueyuan was faintly surprised: although the wooden door itself was not necessarily very strong, the power of this whip was also somewhat unexpected to him. So, after regaining his strength, he swung his whip and struck the poor wooden door with all his might.

After a few lashes, the wooden door had been beaten to pieces. Ling Yueyuan put away the whip and kicked forward with his right foot, and after a "boom", he completely kicked the broken door to the ground.

He stepped on the door, pedaled the third-step pedal on the countertop inside the counter, walked to the position of Zhao Si's accountant, and looked out through the cabinet railing, but saw that the people outside were all more than a head shorter than him at this time, and those audience were still looking up at themselves curiously.

At this moment, Ling Yueyuan had a rare illusion, as if he was standing on a high podium, condescendingly looking at the crowd quietly waiting for him to speak. This made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he quickly lowered his head to look at the drawers and cabinets near this location.

The Zhao Si account seemed to be in a hurry, and many drawers were not locked. After Ling Yueyuan flipped through a few drawers, he pulled out a heavy drawer full of coins.

"Robbery, robbery, ......" Shopkeeper Wang finally reacted, and pointed at Ling Yueyuan with trembling hands, but no one in the vicinity paid attention to his statement, but they all looked at Ling Yueyuan in unison, quietly as if they were expecting something to happen.

"Who robbed it?" Ling Yueyuan, who realized that he seemed to be in the limelight, didn't stop doing anything, so he simply moved the entire cash box to the counter, grabbed a handful of coins and threw them outside the fence: "Come on!" Your money! I'll pay you back, come and get it! ”

Almost everyone was stunned.

Except for the money steward who was still calmly looking at the house deed, and Ouyang Xiaoling, who was still vigilantly on guard, everyone else raised their heads blankly, and watched the gold, silver, and copper coins cross the parabolic trail and fall down like hailstones.

In a few moments, a copper coin that fell the fastest fell on the bridge of the nose of a spectator in the crowd, causing a cry of pain.

"Oops!"

But it seems to ring the bell of the limited-time rush sale!

"Money!" As the coins landed one after another, the fat aunt who was the first to react roared, the sound was like thunder, like a violent wind, twisting her cow-like body and slamming away the people beside her, and quickly pounced towards the coins on the ground: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" No compensation for the death! ”

"Ahh "Money~~~!!" "Rob !!!!" So, after a burst of shouts that almost shattered the roof, the other people who were still in a daze just now all came to their senses and began to frantically snatch the coins on the ground!

Ling Yueyuan behind the counter smiled, he seemed to see such a picture: one second, the crowd under the counter was just huddled together quietly foaming like bottles of Coke, and the next moment, the spilled coins were like mints one after another into the Coke bottles, so these calm but sullen Cokes collectively boiled wildly!

And in this boiling sea of joy, the only thing that can't be happy is the king's shopkeeper who wants to cry without tears. With a sad face, he pulled in vain the crowd next to him who only cared about bowing their heads to pick up money, and his hoarse throat let out a desperate cry: "Don't rob it! My money, ah......!! ”

But no one paid any attention to the king's treasurer. On the contrary, there were people who were annoyed by his pulling, and an elbow slammed into his chest: "Get out~!" Sick of it! ”

"Ahh The shopkeeper was knocked and the whole person sat back, and his already whip-scarred buttocks hit the ground, and the skin and flesh were damaged and the muscles and bones were injured, and the old wound was not healed and a new scar was added, so that he screamed in pain, and then looked behind the counter, but almost vomited blood.

"Come and get it! Come get the money! Ling Yueyuan, who didn't feel painful to sprinkle other people's money, smiled and acted as this cost-free wealth boy, and sprinkled it very happily, and instantly scattered the money box to the bottom.

The vast majority of the people outside this counter are like irrational beasts that only know how to hunt for food, and they just rely on instinct to frantically search for coins on the ground, especially the golden ones!

And the coins that were scattered all over the ground were like frightened elves, rolling around with their throats as if they were hiding from the prey of the red-eyed beasts.

A few of the coins rolled to Xiong Meng, who was lying on the edge of the corner pretending to be unconscious, but half-squinting, and in an instant he slammed them into his arms. Then he squinted his eyes again in contentment and continued unconscious.

Another silver coin rolled into the sight of the thug who was squatting on the edge of the wall, his eyes lit up, and he was about to reach out and grab the silver coin, but unexpectedly, Ouyang Xiaoling, who was holding him, moved faster, and stepped on the silver coin with one foot.

"Squat well, don't move." After the cold tone, Ouyang Xiaoling slowly retracted his legs and moved back to the boots that were close to the ground, and even the silver coins under the boots were dragged all the way away.

The thug looked helplessly at the boots that were holding down the silver coin like a mountain, and then at the crowd that was in full swing, and then raised his head and looked at Ouyang Xiaoling, like a poor puppy wagging his tail and begging his master for the right to attack and take food.

"No, quasi, move." Ouyang Xiaoling rejected the squatting puppy's silent application word by word, and at the same time shook the bright and flickering butterfly wing knife.

Under the bright light of the knife, the thug had no choice but to hang his head and continue to squat.

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer ownerless coins on the ground.

Even the decrepit Uncle Zhang also got a piece of the pie, but he frowned and looked at the black gold coin in his hand, and couldn't help but shake his head and comment: "In broad daylight, gathering crowds to rob, there is no shame, it is really the trend of the world...... Wow!! Before he could say the second half of his sentence, he was hit hard. This body is crooked, and the hand is shaking; The gold coin he had seized flew away from his sermon with joy, and fell with a thud to the edge of another corner, waiting silently for its owner, who knew how to appreciate it.

"Get out~~~ open!! That's mine! It was the fat aunt who hit the person like a flash flood, and she bounced away the chattering Uncle Zhang with one shoulder, and the roar of the lion in Hedong shook away the several people who stood in the way, and rushed towards the gold coin that seemed to be trembling like a whirlwind.

"Ah, ah, that's what I found out first......" Uncle Zhang tried to reason with the mad cow.

"you!!" The fat aunt waved her sleeves and threw the rotten wood-like Zhang Bofan to the ground, and rushed forward without looking back.

Uncle Zhang, who was slumped on the ground, pointed his trembling fingers at the fat figure who was rumbling away, and it took a long time to say the second half of the sentence: "...... People's hearts are not ancient! ”

……

Ling Yueyuan, who was behind the counter, saw that the money cabinet had been basically emptied, only a few gold and silver coins were left, and then he saw that most of the people outside the counter, including the shopkeeper Wang, were only concerned about grabbing money, so he simply submerged the remaining loot into his arms.

Only then he looked around with some weakness, and saw that the money steward was still looking at the house deed by himself, and the others were all working hard to grab the money, and the hooligan thugs who had been broken up were either squinting unconscious or looking down at the ground; But that Ouyang Xiaoling...... But he was staring at himself, and he was stunned for a moment.

However, Ouyang Xiaoling quickly looked away and pretended not to see what was happening.

Ling Yueyuan was stunned for a moment, and then she was relieved: Anyway, if you rob me, rob everyone, what are you afraid of? The law does not blame the public! Moreover, he had done this robbery as early as in Mashui Town, robbing once is robbing, and robbing twice is also robbing...... Besides, what is robbed is ill-gotten gains, so why not, just treat it as the cost of chivalry......

So, Ling Yueyuan, who continued to rummage through the cabinets with peace of mind, soon found a large pile of bills, contracts and other documents in another unlocked drawer, and on top of them were a few crumpled pawn notes and contracts, which seemed to be the bills of the old farmer's pawn house.

Although Zhao Si still remembered to put all the bills on the counter into the cabinet before he ran away, he forgot to lock them in a hurry, although it was a mistake in his busyness, he really didn't expect someone to break into the counter. As a result, the cabinets full of bills and important documents all became Ling Yueyuan's captives.

It's just that Ling Yueyuan didn't know how important the value of this pile of things was, he grabbed a handful of bills and looked at them, but he couldn't understand what was written on this heavenly book-like thing, and the ghostly words on it made him extremely disgusted. He just thought that since the old farmer had already obtained the house deed and the land deed, would it be better to destroy these extra pawn tickets and contracts? Can the other bills also be concocted in the same way and disposed of together?

"What's the use of all this? Just burn it......" Ling Yueyuan muttered to herself.

"Never, never!!" The shopkeeper Wang, who could hear it clearly under the counter and was so frightened, couldn't care about grabbing the money, and hurriedly dissuaded: "My uncle~~!" These bills and contracts must not be burned! This destruction is not only damaged by this store, but also by the ordinary people who pawned the items, and they will not be able to redeem the items in the future! ”

"Really......?" Ling Yueyuan didn't understand much, but when he heard what the shopkeeper Wang said, he put down the bill in his hand in disbelief.

"Nature yes, nature yes!" The shopkeeper Wang calmed down a little, and further induced: "These bills and contracts are the necessary basis for redemption by the pawn, and they cannot be redeemed if they are slightly damaged...... There are also many ordinary poor people in our shop, so young people have to think about them, so I should keep these bills, so as not to be affected by the pond fish......"

Ling Yueyuan was really hesitant when he heard this.

Shopkeeper Wang's mood is also like walking a tightrope now: if the money is lost, it will come back, and if the bill is destroyed, it will be all over! He tried his best to persuade Ling Yueyuan to let those bills go, and at this critical moment of success or failure, that damn indifferent voice came over to stir up the situation again!

"Definitely. According to the commercial law of this dynasty, in addition to issuing pawn tickets as a basis, a separate contract is required to assist in testifying. The pawn and the pawn each hold half of the contract, and if the pawn loses the contract, it cannot be redeemed; If the pawn loses the contract, the pawn must return the pawn's land contract free of charge. If a pawnshop damages a large number of bills, contracts, documents and collateral due to poor management, it will be treated as a closed shop; In addition to fully compensating the pawnbroker for his losses, the person in charge of the pawnshop must also be sentenced to prison depending on whether the circumstances are serious or not. ”

The person who spoke was still the money steward who calmly looked at the deed of the Wanfu Mansion from beginning to end.

The extremely flat tone of these eloquent words, like a light wind, blew the mood of the shopkeeper Wang, who had been walking a tightrope, directly off the cliff, and fell to pieces with a "bang".

"Oh!" Ling Yueyuan can probably hear three or four percent, in short, the bill kept by the pawnshop is damaged, and it is just that the pawnshop suffers a loss. In that case, then you know what to do!

As a result, the jade on the ring that had been included in the Red Flame Whip began to flash a blue light again.

Then, a cluster of flames slowly ignited from Ling Yueyuan's right palm, invading the fragile papers.

Then, Ling Yueyuan threw the half-burned bills, contracts and other objects out of the counter railing.

Suddenly, it was as if clusters of ghost fires floated in the sky above the store, but these fires disappeared quickly, as if the fluttering snowflakes turned into black charcoal in an instant.

"No~!! No~~~!!!! The shopkeeper screamed a few times in fear, squeezed out the crowd with all his strength, stretched out his hands and grabbed into the air, but what he could grab with his strength was a pile of black ash and scorched dust, and disappeared without a trace as soon as the wind blew.

"I'm done, I'm done......" Shopkeeper Wang sat on the ground in despair, looking at the crowd of people who were robbing money in the store, some of the bold ones simply went into the counter to rummage through the cabinets, and some people even began to visit the warehouse...... Yesterday, Boss Qian also specially told him not to make trouble in the store, which is good, it's all over...... After this moment, he only felt that it didn't matter what happened again, anyway, sooner or later, he would definitely be skinned and fried by the boss, and he would die, die......

And the money steward, who was not far away, finally put away the house deed that he had read countless times, patted the black ash that was scattered on his sleeves, and saluted goodbye to the king shopkeeper who was sitting on the ground and chattering mindlessly: "Wang shopkeeper, I have carefully checked it correctly, this house deed is indeed my ten thousand things." So, I'll go back to the old man to get my life, and go back to the house to trim my bonsai and find someone to play my Go, so I'm not bored here. ”

When he turned to leave, Steward Qian glanced at Ling Yueyuan, who had already walked out of the counter, and sighed expressionlessly: "Hello young man." In its prime, sharp, say it if you want to say it, and do it if you want to do it. It seems that this line of decaying old bones is about to enter the wood, words are insincere, the body is involuntary, the movement is not free, and the silence is not arbitrary...... It's really a good teenager. ”

Shaoqing, through the crowd, the money steward who crossed the threshold of the pawnshop, raised his head to look at the high "Fuxiang Pawnshop" sign, shook his head and turned to leave. The figure disappeared outside the door, but a slow sound drifted into the store.

"If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself......"

……

====================

"Can you go?" Ouyang Xiaoling looked at Ling Yueyuan, who was approaching, with a look of unfinished business, and couldn't help but quip.

"Let's go...... It's such a mess now, do you have to stay and help clean up? Ling Yueyuan glanced at the store that seemed to have been trampled and trampled by a group of wild beasts, and was speechless when he saw that the group of wild beasts who were in a hurry had no teachers to spontaneously look for the next batch of targets.

"Oh!" Ouyang Xiaoling turned his head to look at the few pioneers who were rushing into the door of the warehouse inside the counter, but turned to ridicule Ling Yueyuan: "It seems that they are going to start robbing the warehouse over there!" Why don't you go over and have fun? ”

"Go...... What to play. If you don't go, I'll go. Ling Yueyuan knew that she was satirizing what she had just robbed while she was on fire, her face turned red, she turned around and crossed the threshold to leave, and pleaded as she walked: "Even if you are a hero, you have to eat......

As soon as he went out, the brilliant sunlight immediately burst in, stabbing Ling Yueyuan, who was already accustomed to darkness, blinking his eyes.

However, after all, it is better to be outside, as if returning to the world from hell. Ling Yueyuan closed her eyes and greedily inhaled the fresh air around her.

At this time, Ouyang Xiaoling also walked towards the door of the store. As soon as she left, the rascal, who had been crouching to the point where his feet were numb, immediately reached out and snatched the last silver coin left on the ground into his arms.

After getting used to the bright sunshine outside the store, Ouyang Xiaoling asked Ling Yueyuan mischievously: "How did you feel just now?" ”

"What does it feel?" Ling Yueyuan, who began to walk towards the east of the street, heard it very inexplicably.

"Heroes save beauty." Ouyang Xiaoling chuckled. At that time, she heard clearly that Zhong Xue called Ling Yueyuan a hero, but she was stunned until now before she laughed: This monkey is also a hero? Ha!

"Oh! It doesn't feel anything. Ling Yueyuan replied categorically, but then remembered another thing, and the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a very discordant smile: "However, I really felt the black-hearted shopkeeper just now, and it seems that the more I get later, the more I feel an inexplicable pleasure!" ”

"Uh......" Ouyang Xiaoling, who still wanted to dig into some gossip, stopped abruptly in surprise.

"Oh, yes!" Ling Yueyuan, who had walked for a while, quickly took out the night pearl called "Xiaoyue" and handed it to Ouyang Xiaoling: "I forgot it just now...... Oh, your pearl of the night. Fortunately, I wanted it back before, otherwise it would have been snatched away later. ”

"I know." Ouyang Xiaoling generously picked back the Night Pearl from Ling Yueyuan's palm, and looked at it carefully, his eyes full of pity and love. She knew that Ling Yueyuan had already taken the Night Pearl back with Bu Shao, otherwise how could she step out of the pawnshop so calmly now, and let the crazy people in the store break into the warehouse and take away her Night Pearl?

It's just that she didn't take the initiative to speak, but waited patiently until Ling Yueyuan took the initiative to return the night pearl. After a while, she recounted with great nostalgia: "This night pearl is a gift I received when I was ten years old, and it has never left me for four or five years. ”

"Oh...... That's precious. It was rare for Ouyang Xiaoling to take the initiative to tell the origin of this night pearl, but Ling Yueyuan said a perfunctory sentence absentmindedly. What he thinks now is: Now that the problem of travel expenses has been solved, the next step is to find Xinyin's whereabouts.

But after he took a few steps to himself, he found that there was no longer Ouyang Xiaoling's figure beside him, and when he looked back, he saw that she had fallen a few steps behind, and he was stunned: "What's ......?" ”

"I'd like to go to the west side of town and buy something." Ouyang Xiaoling stopped as if he remembered something, and when he turned to leave, he added: "I'll just go by myself...... Don't come along! ”

"Huh?" Ling Yueyuan was surprised, and her curiosity soared: "Why? ”

"Anyway, I'll buy it myself......" Ouyang Xiaoling didn't explain in detail, but was a little impatient: "You either wait for me on the long street in the east of the town, or you can go first!" ”

"What." Ling Yueyuan actually wanted to purchase some necessary items, and it was really uncomfortable to be caught up by Ouyang Xiaoling like this, so he frowned and responded, "Then you can go!" If I don't see anyone for half an hour, I'll go first! He thought that half an hour should be enough for him to find someone to inquire about Xinyin's whereabouts, and if no one here knows, then go straight to the next town!

"Whatever you want." Ouyang Xiaoling turned his head indifferently and left, that strange temperament was really unpredictable.

So, the two were temporarily separated in this town.

Since Ouyang Xiaoling didn't want to go to the west of the town by himself, Ling Yueyuan didn't want to cling to the shadow of the other people with a dead face, so he walked directly in the direction of the east of the town.

It's just that, to his surprise, the long street in the east of the town ...... How can there be so few people?
