89. Domesticating foxes

Qianqian took a few people to a small teahouse that was not very inconspicuous and ordered a pot of tea.

She diligently poured tea for Zhou Xiang: "Master Kuang, the tea money is yours, you can drink two more cups." ”

Zhou Xiang looked at her, about the same age as his daughter, or even younger, but she was already an old man. He was in a good mood and teased her: "The old man is an official and you are a thief, and it is natural for officers and soldiers to catch thieves, if you play such a trick in front of the two of us, are you not afraid of being arrested?" ”

Qianqian blinked: "But I'm not a thief." ”

Zhou Xiang pointed to the burden of the inkstone: "Don't ask what you call it a thief, a thief, a thief." ”

"I didn't take it without asking, I asked the boss for the price, and I also bid one hundred and fifty taels." Qianqian opened the furoshiki and touched the inkstone screen and couldn't put it down.

Zhou Xiang shook his head: "The boss didn't promise to sell it to you, you steal it like this, you are a little thief." ”

"Who said I stole it, I made a deal with the boss."

Qianqian snorted, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the man walking in at the door, wet all over, and his hair was still dripping with water. She smiled and pointed at the person who came and said, "I don't believe you asked Ruan Qi." ”

Zhan Liantai beckoned Ruan Qi to come over, and Ruan Qi approached and bowed: "I've seen adults." ”

Zhou Xiang asked him with interest: "This thief said that she bought the inkstone screen from the owner of the painting boat, is this true?" ”

Ruan Qi is serious and indifferent by nature, but he is straightforward and straightforward who will not beat around the bush, Zhou Xiang originally expected him to expose thousands of lies, but Ruan Qi nodded with a straight face and admitted: "Yes." ”

Not only Zhou Xiang was surprised, but even Zhan Liantai was unexpected: "When?" ”

"Just now." Ruan Qi raised his sleeve and wiped the water on his forehead, glanced at Qianqian without a trace, and his eyes seemed to contain resentment, "She asked me to chisel through the bottom of the boat, and after sinking the boat, she pretended to be kind to help the owner of the painting boat salvage things, and then I went ashore, and the boss paid me a fee of ten taels according to the price of recovering a lost item. ”

"Did he agree?" Zhou Xianghu doubted, "But the inkstone screen is worth a thousand taels, how can a businessman do such a loss-making transaction." ”

Without waiting for Ruan Qi to answer, Qianqian preemptively said: "Things are valuable because they are intact, if not, then they are worthless." ”

Ruan Qi bowed: "I fished a few yellow stones from the bottom of the lake, and told the boss that the inkstone had been broken, and if he wanted me, I would fish them all up, and it was still the price of ten taels of broken stone." ”

Zhan Liantai couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "God knows that the Dao inkstone screen is broken into several pieces, if there are hundreds or thousands of fragments, wouldn't it be worth the loss to pick them up?" ”

So the owner of the painting boat would rather not have an inkstone, Ruan Qi just used the excuse that Qianqian likes the inkstone, and the remuneration for salvaging the lost property is not taken, and then wrapped a few stones and pretended to be inkstone fragments, and took them back for the transaction.

"Master Kuang, I still made this deal, and I didn't steal it." Qianqian took out fifty taels from his arms and gave it to Ruan Qi, "Your honorarium, ask him for the rest." She pointed to Zhan Liantai.

Zhan Liantai didn't buy it: "What is the reason? ”

"Because Ruan Qi was borrowed from you by me!" Qianqian took it for granted, holding her cheeks, "Now I will give him back to you, since the person is your person, of course you will pay the salary." As the saying goes, it's not difficult to borrow and borrow again, and next time there is a place to use him, I'll ask you to borrow it again. ”

"Ha Lu haha-" Zhou Xiang laughed again, pointed at Qianqian and said, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise!" ”

Zhan Liantai smiled without saying a word, and waved his hand to signal Ruan Qi to retreat.

Qianqian looked like she was smiling: "Master Kuang's words are wrong, although I am a little woman, I can not only support myself, but also support others." ”

"The old man knows what you do." Zhou Xiang smiled and asked: "Cit Meng abduction, which line are you?" ”

"Whatever, these four things are originally a family." Qian Qianwan smiled, "Master Kuang, I'm just messing up and eating." ”

At this time, Zhan Liantai solemnly introduced to him: "This Qianqian girl is a master who is good at setting up a bureau, and there are many unsolved cases in the Criminal Department that are from her, and adults may have heard of it, such as the case of the disappearance of ten thousand taels of silver, the case of turning stones into gold, and the case of painting with easy painting......" He paused slightly, and made a bow to Qianqian, "I and other mortals can be said to be beyond the reach of dust." ”

Seeing him look like this, Zhou Xiang squinted: "Brother Zhan, why should you be humble, you are also a chess master." ”

"Compared to thousands of girls, I sigh to myself." Zhan Liantai smiled slightly, and finally got to the point, "In the recent case of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the lower officials have never been able to find a clue, and then after being dialed by Qianqian Girl, I suddenly thought of a possibility. He made a gesture to ask Qianqian to speak, and Zhou Xiang turned his gaze away.

"He told you everything?" Zhou Xiang's voice sounded a little displeased.

"Master Zhan told me a story. Once upon a time, two people were neighbors, and they had a good relationship, but one day one of them suddenly sued the other and went to court. Now that the judgment has not yet been made, the defendant still has room to redeem, either to destroy the evidence in the plaintiff's hands, or to gain insight into the other party's purpose and prescribe the right medicine. But the problem is that no one knows what the plaintiff's reasons for doing this are, so this makes the defendant feel very tricky and helpless. Qianqian held the teacup and restrained her smile: "Master Kuang, have you ever thought that in fact, this may be a game?" ”

Zhou Xiang also became cautious: "What bureau? ”

"The game of luring the snake out of the hole." "Some people are cautious by nature and don't trust others, so when we deceive these people, we will always deliberately surprise the snake, and wait for him to take action, and then find out the flaw." It's like if I tell a guy that the money he was hiding in his house has been stolen and that he has to check it when he comes home, I don't know where he hid his money, but now I know it, don't I? ”

Zhou Xiang looked at her thoughtfully with a smile.

While pouring tea for them, Qianqian said slowly: "The important thing is not whether the defendant is guilty or not, but whether the defendant's own handle is well hidden and tucked away, so that no one can find it." If he messes up because he wants to go to court, and instead exposes something that shouldn't be exposed, then he really fell into the scheme. Do you think what I'm saying makes sense, Master Kuang? ”

"Wonderful." Zhou Xiang groaned, looking at Qianqian's eyes with a little more appreciation, "The old man has been taught." ”

The important thing now is not that Kong Xiang complained in front of the emperor, but that he could not mess up because of this matter, and put certain people and things on the table in order to calm the turmoil and give people a handle.

"Don't blame me for talking nonsense." Qianqian stuck out her tongue, and then arched her hand, "Little girl, I wish Master Kuang a victory in the court!" ”

Zhou Xiang didn't blame her for this sentence, how could she not guess the metaphor of this court story if she was so smart. It's just a pity that she's not a man, otherwise it would be used by him......

He glanced at Zhan Liantai again, and felt even more regretful, it was difficult to find a helper like Zhan Liantai again.

"You helped the old man, the old man can reward you with things, what do you want?" Zhou Xiang only felt that he suddenly brightened, and the gloom of the past few days had disappeared, and he was in a good mood and asked Qianqian what reward he wanted.

Qianqian's eyes rolled: "You can give you anything?" ”

Zhou Xiang affirmed: "Gold, silver, property, jewelry, as long as the old man has it, you can choose." ”

"I'm going to—" Qianqian deliberately dragged out her voice, as if she was still thinking about it.

Zhan Liantai pretended to stop: "I have already paid her, adults don't have to ......"

"Those things are not interesting, I have too much of myself, I want other rewards!" Qianqian suddenly ran in front of Zhou Xiang and looked at him with watery eyes, "I want to lie to you!" ”

Zhou Xiang was stunned: "Hmm? ”

"Master Kuang, let's make another bet, just bet on whether I can deceive you." She rubbed her hands together like a playful little fox who didn't know the height of the sky, "I haven't deceived a big man like you yet, so let me try it and see how my deception is." ”

"This ......" Zhou Xiang was extremely hesitant.

Zhan Liantai reprimanded: "Ridiculous! How can you be teased, adults? Apologize to your lords, or I will not blame you for one of the following crimes! ”

"Humph!" Qianqian sneered at him heavily, looked at Zhou Xiang's eyes full of longing, and gently pulled his sleeve and begged, "Master Kuang is good, you just agree-you have a lot of adults, and you are so knowledgeable, I may not be able to deceive you......"

At Zhou Xiang's age, the woman's coquettishness with him is not to invite pets, but to make him suddenly feel as if it is a kind of family fun. Among his children, Zhou Tao is the youngest, although he dotes on this young son, but Zhou Tao is not very close to him. And at this moment, Qianqian is like the little daughter in the family, lying on her father's knees and playing coquettish, which is a taste he has never enjoyed.

Zhou Xiang was silent, a little hesitant when he agreed, but his tone was full of affection: "Okay." ”

"Thank you, Master Kuang!" Qianqian stroked her palms and jumped excitedly, hurriedly saluted and thanked him, and even asked inch by inch, "Then I will follow you from now on, you have to be careful, master, I will lie to you!" ”

Zhan Liantai also wanted to dissuade: "My lord, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do this......

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Xiang waved his hand, "The little woman is interesting, and the old man should accept a righteous girl." ”

"That's ......" Zhan Liantai breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Qianqian's happy appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head, "I'm afraid you have domesticated a stubborn fox." ”

Hearing this, Qianqian bared her teeth at him, and opened her teeth and claws.

Both of them were very helpless, and then Zhou Xiang got up and planned to go back to the house, Zhan Liantai approached him, deliberately lowered his voice, and said in his ear: "This case is investigated and handled by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Xiangye doesn't need to worry, Kong Xiang doesn't need to worry, as Qianqian said, it's bad to mess up." But my lord, the lower official still wants to remind you that although the saint trusts you, but the person behind this curtain can make Kong Xiang turn against him this time, who knows what tricks Lu Dao will use next time? ”

"Xiangye, someone wants to harm you, we have to guard against it."

The author has something to say: the ultimate scam is the deception of the deception, this chapter of Qianqian's deception "lure the snake out of the hole", in fact, everyone has heard it: the scammer sends a text message or calls to tell you that the bank card is abnormal, it has been frozen or how much has been spent by swiping the card...... In short, there are security risks that require you to transfer your money to a reliable account. This scam is called the "Hypochondria Scam" and it is very classic. Beware of the little goblins! Don't be fooled!
