Chapter 9, Finding Money
Lin Jiu was ruthless, and Cheng Yao could only use his skill to unload Lin Jiu's strength. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The wound in the palm of the info hand was bleeding, and it looked a little scary, Cheng Yao calculated it in his heart, and it didn't hurt the vital point.
Probably because of the blood, the tyrannical emotions of the people were suppressed.
"I said, girl, this injury is your own trouble, but you can't blame us!" The proprietress twisted her chubby body and hid behind her man as she spoke.
"Forget it, forget it, it's all bloody." There are familiar people who persuade the boss.
"Lin Jiu, count yourself lucky today, someone will help you out. That money, Lao Tzu should give alms to beggars. "The boss is still a little unwilling, but he is also afraid that things will not end well.
"Wait!" Cheng Yao said while bandaging her hands with the corner of her skirt torn from her body. Her expression was resolute, and the blood stains on her body did not damage her demeanor in the slightest: "Lin Jiu has proved his innocence with his actions. So, what about you guys? How are you going to do him justice? ”
Facing Cheng Yao's questioning, someone in the crowd lowered their heads.
"I said you little girl, you want to stir up trouble, don't you?" The proprietress stepped forward with her waist crossed.
"I don't want to stir things up at all. It's just that I'm not used to forcing people to kill. ”
"Stinky girl, you dare to scare me." The boss raised his fist.
Cheng Yao's face did not change, ignoring the boss's threat, and turned his head to look at Lin Jiu: "Lin Jiu, do you want them to give you justice?" ”
Lin Jiu looked at Cheng Yao, his eyes getting brighter and brighter: "I think, I think about it in my dreams." When my mother was dying, I swore that I would never steal again. But no one believed it! Speaking of Mother Lin, Lin Jiu cried. He cried because fate had taken away all his loved ones. He cried because in the past three years, he has been suspected and abused countless times.
He didn't steal, and no one can wronged him. Lin Jiu wiped away his tears and looked at Cheng Yao. If this little girl believes in him, then he also believes in her, and can help him get justice.
"Maybe he's really changed?" Someone began to tear through the thief's mark on Lin Jiu's body.
"Justice? Lao Tzu lost money! Who will give me justice? The boss shouted with a thick neck, he was wronged.
"How much money did you lose?"
"How much money did we lose?" The boss turned his head and asked his mother-in-law.
"Ten cents!"
Seeing the boss's arrogant appearance, Cheng Yao wanted to smoke her, and she had to force others to chop her hands for ten yuan.
Immediately, public opinion leaned towards Lin Jiu.
"Why, ten cents is not money!" The proprietress was looked at by everyone and was annoyed and angry.
There are many customers in the stall, and the cash box should have more than ten cents, but only ten cents were lost.
"Tell me about what happened to you in this stall." Cheng Yao asked Lin Jiu.
"As usual, I had breakfast here, ordered two steamed buns and a bowl of peanut milk, and I paid for it when I was done. There are a lot of people today, and the things I ordered have not been served for a long time, and I am in a hurry to get to work, so I want to urge the boss in front of the stall. Neither of them had time to pay attention to me. At this time, I saw a child standing staggering on a small bench, almost planted, next to the stove. I was worried that the child was hurt, so I stepped forward to help him. Lin Jiusheng was afraid that what he said was not detailed enough, so he gestured: "Later, I will sit back and eat." When I was about to leave after eating, the proprietress shouted that she had lost her money, and the boss grabbed me and didn't let me go, saying that I had stolen the money. ”
"It's just you who is close to the cash box, who else can you be if it's not him!" The boss said.
"Can you show me your cash box?"
"What do you want to do?" The proprietress picked up the cash box and stared at Cheng Yao defensively.
"Boss, just let her see! Maybe she'll be able to help you find the money. "Everyone probably understood Cheng Yao's intentions, compared to chopping people's hands and watching people investigate the case, she is still such a delicate little girl investigating the case, which is not bloody and interesting.
"I can't let you look at my cash box for nothing. Take a look at the ten pennies. The proprietress rolled her eyes, her eyes full of calculations.
"Okay, take a look at the ten cents. But if you find the thief for a while, you shout three times in a loud voice, 'Lin Jiu, I'm sorry, we wronged you'. How is it? ”
"Okay, if you don't find it, then you can pay another ten yuan to compensate me for the loss." The proprietress saw that Cheng Yao gave the money simply, so she simply asked for it again.
"Okay!"
Cheng Yao picked up the cash box and observed it carefully, and sure enough, there were copper plates in the cash box, and there were even two broken silver horns. Huh, what is this?
"Mother, I'm thirsty to drink water!" A child came running with a flushed face.
"Oh, my little ancestor, where did you go to play, sweaty, come and drink the pulp" The proprietress looked loving, and took a handkerchief to wipe her son's face.
The child took a big sip and impatiently pushed his mother's hand away, squeezing out of the crowd.
"Perhaps, I know where the money goes!" Cheng Yao stuffed the cash box back into the proprietress and walked in the direction where the child left.
Everyone followed Cheng Yao, and everyone was curious about where the thief was.
Walking into the alley not far away, there is no bustle of the market, and the laughter of children is faintly heard.
"Son, I've fried a lot of dishes, quick" A little girl patted a little boy's hand: "You have to wait for me to finish before you eat, remember?" ”
"Remembered."
"Okay, you eat!"
The little boy pretended to eat the dishes.
The so-called vegetables are nothing more than roots of grass on broken rubble.
Some children learn to ride horses with sticks. Some learn to sell things from merchants.
Cheng Yao walked over slowly: "This dish is so fragrant, can I taste it too?" ”
"The visitor is a guest, please use it!" The little girl looks childish but learns the words of adults, which is very interesting.
"Is it okay if I want to eat this?" Cheng Yao pointed to one of the "dishes".
"How do you love to eat this bitter gourd slice. We don't like to eat. ”
"yes, we don't like to eat. It's bitter and not delicious. ”
"I know, it was brought by Xiaopang, the dishes he brought every time are not delicious, and the next time he brings back the dishes that are not delicious, we won't finish with him."
Chubby was the couple's child.
Probably no adult has ever played with them like this, the child babbled.
"Don't leave me to play, I'll definitely bring delicious dishes back next time." Chubby anxiously promised.
"There's no water, and I can't make glutinous rice balls." A child digs a hole in the ground next to him. "Which of you will add some water."
"Sister, the children in our family don't like to eat bitter gourd slices, so let's give this dish to you."
"Thank you!" Cheng Yao smiled and patted the little girl's head. took the bitter gourd slice and came to everyone: "Your money!" ”
On the rubble lay no more, no less, no less than ten copper plates.
It's these ten copper plates, and on one side is forcing people to chop their hands. On the other hand, it is not as good as a few grasses, a few rice balls with urine and soil. A small alley, separating two worlds.
"How did you know at the beginning that Lin Jiu was not a thief, and how did you know where the money came from?" A familiar voice was heard from the crowd.
