Chapter Fifty-Eight: Old Knowledge
Wang Jin walked out of the restaurant and walked straight in the direction of Dongsheng Street. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
She was thinking all the way, and when she walked into a small narrow alley, she was suddenly slammed by the people rushing out of it, and this time she knocked both of them to the ground. Wang Jian struggled to stand up, and heard a breathless shout from the other end of the alley: "You... Don't run... Dare to steal... Sir... My stuff... Let me, sir... Catch you... I didn't pick your skin...", the voice was still immature, like a boy. Wang Jin glanced at the thief who hurriedly got up and was about to slip away, even if she was not in a good mood at the moment, there was no reason not to help in front of her. She didn't rush to stand up and stop the other party, but just stretched out a foot diagonally, and the timing was just right to trip the other party again. The little boy who was chasing people happened to enter the alley and watched this scene, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and his legs and feet, which were already exhausted, seemed to have the wind, and ran to the thief with a smoke.
The clothes on the little boy's body were made of very elaborate materials, but there was a lot of mud on his knees and other places, his hair was also crooked, and there were several black marks on his face. I saw him come up and kick the thief who still fell to the ground, and Wang Jin, who looked at it with strength, was a little unbearable. Then he crouched down and groped around the thief's aching arched body, and found a purse and a jade pendant.
He stuffed the things into his arms, and when he saw that the thief seemed to be unable to get up for a while, his eyes rolled slightly, so he stood up and saluted Wang Jin, saying, "Thank you, brother, for helping me recover my property just now." Now that this thief has been captured by us, he should be sent to the government, I don't know what my brother wants? ”
Wang Jin was thinking about how the jade pendant looked a little familiar, and at this time, listening to his words were full of the tone in the martial arts script, he couldn't help but be a little funny, and his originally heavy mood also added a little activity. She smiled, also bowed, and learned his tone and said: "The little brother is so chivalrous, he should have helped his brother a lot, and sent this little thief to the official mansion to subjugate the law." It's just that we walk the rivers and lakes, we should do good deeds without leaving a name, if we act like this, we will inevitably have the intention of inviting merit and greedy for fame, it is better to..."
"What's not as good as what? Brother, come on! The little boy was afraid that he would rarely see such an interesting person, and he couldn't help but be extremely excited, and his eyes were shining.
Wang Jin thought about it, touched his chin and smiled: "It's better to leave this opportunity to do good deeds to others." ”
The little boy agreed very much when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "What Brother Tai said is very true, but what should I do?" ”
Wang Jin's mind turned, and a slightly evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. She walked up to the thief, and when she saw him in a cold sweat, she must have heard them say that they were going to be sent to the government, and she smiled apologetically, and a knife fell on him and knocked him unconscious.
When the little boy saw her hand, his eyes lit up instantly. ran to the thief and shook him twice, and when he saw that he had indeed fainted, he admired Wang Jin.
"Move him to the wall." Wang Jian continued.
The little boy obeyed her at this time, nodded again and again, and helped Wang Jian move the person to a place against the wall.
"Do you have a silk handkerchief with you?" Wang Jin looked at the thief's hands and feet, and decided to do good things to the end.
"Bring it!" The little boy hurriedly took out a handkerchief of rhombic brocade from his body and handed it to Wang Jin, and when he saw that she took out his handkerchief again, he trapped the thief's hands and feet in three or two strokes, and could not help but smile.
When Wang Jian had done this, he picked up a piece of pink stone from his feet and wrote three lines on the wall beside the thief.
"I... Be... Small... Steal / who... Handful... I... Give... Delivery... Official... House/Awards... Encourage... One... Two... Silver/" The little boy read carefully word by word, not noticing that the expression between Wang Jin's eyebrows and eyes at this time was exactly the same stubbornness as him.
But this scene all fell into the eyes of another person.
"Ming Fang, you didn't study hard in the academy, why did you run here?" A clear male voice suddenly sounded, and the stone in Wang Jin's hand fell to the ground in fright.
"Brother Lobby?! How did you get here? The little boy who was called Ming Fang was obviously frightened, but he changed his face in a blink of an eye, and pointed angrily and aggrievedly at the unconscious thief on the ground and said, "It's hot today, I came out of the academy at noon and wanted to buy some sour plum soup for the teacher to relieve his heat." Who knows if I didn't go far before this thief stole my purse and jade pendant, I chased all the way here, and fell several times halfway! He pitifully pointed to the mud on his body and face, squeezed some tears, turned around and grabbed Wang Hibiscus, who had secretly turned his back and was ready to disappear at any time, and introduced to his cousin quite seriously: "Fortunately, I met this chivalrous little brother, helped me catch this thief, and took the things back, cousin, you have to help me thank you well!" ”
Wang Jian felt the man's scrutinizing gaze, and couldn't help but lower his head even more. She had just heard the little boy's name, and finally remembered why the jade pendant was so familiar, and she was afraid that the two of them would recognize her, so she had to keep her head down.
"Since this is the case, I naturally want to thank this little brother. However, I just saw you leave a letter on the wall, I don't know why? As he spoke, the man strode over, looked at the thief who was trapped in his limbs and the writing on the wall, and couldn't help but smile.
"We tied this person here, and if we left such a sentence, someone would definitely send him to the official mansion, so that we could be heroes behind the scenes!" Li Mingfang was very satisfied with this arrangement.
"Oh? So who will pay for this reward? Why didn't I know that the government has a reward policy for this? The man teased.
Li Mingfang touched his head and looked at Wang Jin. Knowing that he couldn't hide, Wang Jian coughed lightly twice, and explained in a thick voice: "I originally planned to hide the silver taels at this person's feet, if someone really wants to send him to the official mansion, he will naturally find out about this silver reward." ”
Li Mingfang nodded again and again after hearing this, and felt that this idea was good.
"What if the man takes the bounty and doesn't send it away?" The man asked again.
Wang Jian was silent, because it was very possible, especially at this moment, in her opinion, the human heart was the most untrustworthy thing.
The man smiled and shook his head, picked up another stone from the ground, and added a few words after the second line of the word "fu".
"You can take a token to Tongli Money Village to get it..."Li Mingfang read the third line of words again, his eyes lit up, and he thought of something, frowned and asked, "What if that person directly took the token to receive the reward money, and didn't send the person to the government?" ”
"No, it won't." Wang Jin said loudly, "With the signboard of Tongli Qianzhuang, no one in the entire Yangzhou City will have the courage to cheat money." ”
Li Mingfang suddenly realized that he looked at his cousin with admiration.
Wang Jian looked at the man with a slightly complicated look, thinking that this is the so-called power, it is really useful. Thinking of today's events, I can't help but feel a little stunned.
"This little brother, thanks to your help this time, my cousin was able to recover these belongings, and I must thank you for it." The man said in a sincere tone, "Under Li Mingqian, I don't know what to call the little brother?" ”
Li Mingfang on the side also patted his head and said: "Oh, I forgot to ask my brother's name for so long, my name is Li Mingfang!" After speaking, he looked at Wang Jian earnestly.
Wang Jin sighed in his heart and replied, "The surname is Wang, and the name is Jing." ”
"Which view?" He was condescending, inadvertently catching a glimpse of the whiteness of Wang Jin's neck, and hurriedly looked away.
"The scenery from which the clouds meet." Wang Jian paused and continued: "It's just a gesture, you don't have to be so solemn and polite, I still have some things to deal with, so don't leave it at that." ”
"Even so, it's inconvenient for us to keep more." A soft smile appeared at the corner of Li Mingqian's mouth, he took off a piece of ink jade from his waist, handed it to Wang Jin, and said: "It's just that we owe a favor to our little brother anyway, so we will take this as a token, if there is anything that needs help in the future, please give us the opportunity to do our best." I hope that the little brother will definitely accept it. ”
Seeing that she was still hesitating, Li Mingfang grabbed the jade pendant and stuffed it into her arms, and said: "Why is the husband grinding like this, this is what you deserve, you can take it generously, how many people in my Li family want it!" ”
Wang Jin was taken aback by his previous actions of Sai Yupei, and when she came to her senses, she had to smile: "In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" ”
She said goodbye to them again and turned away.
