[Ran^Text^Library] Faced with the pavilion chief's well-intentioned questioning, Ling'er knew that the situation was quite unfavorable for her, but she had to try to explain:

"Official, I don't know why the big proprietor came to our family to do it, they first came to transport grain in the middle of the night, because our shop usually closes in the middle of the night, and only the next day when the place is vacated; As for their whereabouts, we don't know at all. Music + Literature + Novel Www.し wXs520.Com but he is a pavilion master.,It seems that he knows everything well...... Please check it out! ”

Captain Wu stroked his chin with one hand, looked thoughtfully at Ling'er's family, and then looked at the pavilion chief beside him. The pavilion chief was so angry that his face was flushed, for fear that he would believe Ling'er's words, so he pointed at Ling'er and scolded: "Bold! You wild girl, at a young age, you don't blink your eyes when you talk nonsense, you can see the viciousness of your mind!

Captain Wu, don't believe her words, no matter how she quibbles, a few days ago, this wild girl went to the county seat alone, and as soon as she came back, she brought back a few hundred taels of silver tickets! I sent someone to the city to check, and this girl has never entered any grain stores! Who in the average family wants that much food? Who can take out so many taels of silver at once? This girl must be going to connect with the bandits! ”

Captain Wu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh? A few hundred taels of silver? ”

Ling'er chuckled in her heart, suffered, could it be that this captain is greedy for money?! Or... Why don't you send him some money yourself? No, no, in case someone else's good is not this, if you send it yourself, you will be convicted if you are not guilty! Even if he collects the money, if he has too much appetite and asks for it when he thinks about it, won't he be able to turn over for the rest of his life?

Ling'er weighed it and decided to tell the truth: "Back to the official, Ling'er did bring back a few hundred taels of silver from the provincial capital, and the silver was indeed not exchanged from the grain shop!" In fact...... In fact, Ling'er went to the county seat, not really to see the big boss! ”

"Huh. I'm right! Captain Wu, this girl must have seen a thief! ”

"No, sir, Ling'er didn't go to see the bandits, Ling'er went to find Ding Zhutou from the county government, and the money was also given to me by Ding Zhutou, I don't believe you can find Ding Zhutou to confront me!"

Everyone was silent for a moment. Pavilion Chief Wen scolded: "Bold! You're just a little girl. How could Ding Zhutou give you so much silver? Hum! Don't think that by pulling Ding Zhutou in, your family will be able to get away with it!

Captain Wu, I think this girl doesn't shed tears when she doesn't see the coffin. Or ......"

Captain Wu raised his hand, Pavilion Chief's voice stopped abruptly, and Captain Wu looked at Ling'er with his eyes: "Little girl, why did Ding Zhutou give you silver?" ”

Ling'er hesitated. He has always been dressed as a little boy in front of Ding Zhutou, if they really confront Ding Zhutou. Will Ding Zhutou deny himself? In that case, the family will really be finished! But...... If you don't say it, then your family will be finished now!

She took a soft breath: "Official, I heard about it when I was in the market last time. There is a big family in the city looking for a medicinal herb called Cordyceps, the price has been out to two taels of silver, I thought that a grass was so valuable to remember!

The last time the big proprietor came to transport grain, he had to pay silver. I heard my little brother say that they have a lot of medicinal herbs in their house, no matter how precious they are. I tried to ask the big owner if there was any cordyceps? If I had, I would have cordyceps, not silver!

Unexpectedly, the big proprietor really agreed, and the next night he asked the person who came to transport the grain to bring me a bag of cordyceps, which contained dozens of pieces! Because the shop was in urgent need of silver turnover, I hurried into the city before dawn to find Ding Zhutou, who asked the doctor to test the cordyceps and felt that the condition was good, so he gave me the silver!

Official, what I said is true, I also know Grandpa Shen who guards the door of the Ding Mansion, and I have also met several masters of the Ding family, I don't believe you can ask them to confront you! ”

Captain Wu looked at Ling'er silently, and suddenly pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay!" Come on, go and invite Ding Zhutou! ”

"Yes!" The sergeant was ordered to leave and run into the town. Ling'er was taken aback, she really wanted to confront her? In the middle of the night...

Before she could turn her mind, she heard a familiar voice: "Captain Wu!" ”

Ling'er raised her head and looked at the person in surprise, who is this not Ding Zhutou? I saw him running quickly with a horsewhip to confess to Captain Wu, and not far behind, two catchers were leading the horses to this side!

"Captain Wu, I'm sorry, I'm late! The day before yesterday, I received a report that two Jiangyang thieves with several lives on their backs appeared in this county, and they went to arrest their subordinates under him, and they only returned in the middle of the night yesterday! As soon as I arrived at the county office, I heard that you had come to Yamaguchi Town, so I hurried to it! ”

Then Ding Zhutou looked around, "Captain Wu, you are ......"

Captain Wu clasped his hands around his chest and said lightly: "We are ordered to come and arrest the bandits!" ”

"Bandits?!" Ding Zhutou looked around again in surprise, and the people standing in the square were obviously ordinary people, "Captain Wu, this ......"

"They're residents of this town! According to the wired newspaper, the bandits have been haunting here a lot recently, and several truckloads of grain have been looted from this town and transported into the vast mountains, and the captain of this school just asked them to gather together to facilitate inquiry! ”

"Oh! I see! Ding Zhutou breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ding Zhutou, I heard that your mansion was buying Cordyceps at a high price a few days ago, but is there such a thing?"

Ding Zhutou was stunned for a moment: "Oh, that's true! What, the captain has it in his hands? ”

Captain Wu glanced at Ling'er: "Hasn't Ding Zhutou already been found?" ”

"This ...... Hehe, indeed, a little friend sent it to me a few days ago, which just solved my urgent need! Why did Lord Wu suddenly mention this? ”

Captain Wu's chin pointed in the direction of Ling'er: "Can Ding Zhutou know this little girl?" ”

Ding Zhutou looked back, and saw Ling'er stunned at first, and then reacted after a moment, "You are... Bai Xiaowen?! ”

Ling'er was delighted: "Yes, yes, Uncle Ding, it's me!" A few days ago, I gave you Cordyceps, and you gave me money, but they didn't believe it, but they said that my money was given by thieves! Uncle Ding, you must testify for me! ”

"Oh? Such! Ding Zhutou turned to Captain Wu and said, "Lord Wu, my cordyceps is this kid...... The girl sent it, the cordyceps was in good condition, and it almost saved my grandmother's life, and in return, I gave this girl a thousand taels of silver! ”

"One thousand taels ......" The crowd was in an uproar! Pavilion Chief Wen beside Captain Wu straightened his eyes, and Ling'er could clearly feel the burning gaze around him. She secretly complained in her heart, Ding Zhutou's words made her miserable! This side is not over yet, and there is trouble over there, and I don't know how much trouble I will bring to myself after this thousand taels!

The corners of Captain Wu's mouth curled: "Ding Zhutou is so generous!" ”

Ding Zhutou paused slightly, and said with a smile: "As long as you can save your grandmother's life, Ding will not hesitate to go bankrupt, if it is Lord Wu, maybe you will give more?" ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect Ding Zhutou to be a model of filial piety!" ……

The two complimented each other in an official tone, seeing that this is sober, their own crisis should have passed. Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief, and went over to pull the soldier who was carrying the old lady and said, "Official, can you let go of my mother?" We are not spies of bandits! ”

The soldier looked at Captain Wu, and Captain Wu smiled and said, "Since there is Ding Catcher as a guarantee, naturally there is no problem, release him!" ”

As soon as the soldier let go, the old lady fell down like the ground, and Ling'er hurriedly held on: "Mother, mother!" What's wrong with you? ”

The old lady's face was pale, her whole body was trembling, and her lips trembled: "No... It's okay! ”

Ling'er helped the old lady to sit down next to her father, and said softly while helping her chest: "Dad, mother, don't worry, it's okay!" Ding Zhutou has already cleared our suspicions! Daddy, mother......"

The soldiers began to ask others about the whereabouts of the bandits again, and people began to talk about it, and there was a commotion in the square again, and no one seemed to pay attention to the Ling'er family anymore! Ling'er asked Ning Ba and Tenth Sister to help their father and mother to an inconspicuous corner to rest, and they had just sat down: "Ouch, Uncle Yang, Aunt Yang, fortunately, you are fine, I will say how can you be a thief!" ”

Ling'er turned around, saw a stocky middle-aged woman coming over with a smile, sat down beside the old lady, took the old lady's arm and said: "Aunt Yang, don't you know, those people just said bad things about your family, and said that you were sent by the thieves to find out, see which family has money, make a mark, and when the thieves come, they will go straight to that house!"

I said, "How is that possible?" Uncle Yang and Mrs. Yang are both honest people, and it is impossible to be a thief in anything, and the pavilion chief and his old man are most likely misunderstood! Look, it's a misunderstanding, it's okay now, it's finally okay! Aunt Yang, what's wrong with you? That young man didn't hurt you, did he? Come, I'll show you! ”

The woman enthusiastically pulled the old lady to check, and Ling'er quickly stepped in to separate them: "Thank you Aunt Song, my mother is just a little frightened, just take a rest!" ”

"Alas, thank you! We are also neighbors, and we don't see anyone who looks up and looks down every day! Oh, by the way, Ling'er, your family has moved here for so long, why don't you come to take care of my family's business? What's so delicious about that bun? If you eat too much, it will taste greasy, why don't you change the taste, how about coming to my house to eat noodles? ”

"Hmph, steamed buns are nothing delicious, it's better than some people selling dog meat as mutton!" There was another person in the middle, and this voice was naturally Aunt Wan, the proprietress of the bun shop next door to her house! And the woman who came first was the proprietress of the noodle shop next door to Aunt Wan, Song Niangzi, the two of you and I talked and quarreled!

It doesn't matter if they quarrel or not, the key is that they pull Ling'er and Lao Niang to the middle and push and shove, and ask the two of them to judge them! Ling'er was pushed dizzy by them, and the old lady couldn't stand it!

"That's it! All right! Ling'er struggled to shake off the two of them, and with a loud roar, the two finally stopped. Ling'er smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, that Aunt Wan and Aunt Wu, I'm sorry, my father and mother are not feeling well, can I trouble you ......"

"Boy! How did you get here? Make it easy for me to find! Ding Zhutou strode over, looked at the few people present, and said suspiciously: "...... you guys"

Aunt Wan hurriedly said with a smiling face: "Hehe, no... It's nothing! Hey, where is my boy? Ling'er, I'll go to my boy, you guys talk slowly! Talk slowly! "Aunt Wan slipped away first, and Song Niangzi also found a reason to run away!

Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Uncle Ding, you helped me again!" (To be continued)
