Chapter 33 The road is narrow

The shopkeeper is in his early forties, shrewd and sophisticated, and greets distinguished guests with a smile on his face. After greetings, he took out the key, took out two delicate sandalwood brocade boxes from the low cabinet behind him, opened it and took a look, but it was amazing, it turned out to be an inkstone and a Yan, which can be regarded as the treasure of the store.

These two inkstones can be called the treasures of the inkstone in the Dali country, there is a priceless market all the year round, how could I have thought that there is actually in this inconspicuous small shop in Nancang County, and there are two, the young man seems to be very fond of it, has been enjoying the game and compared, it is difficult to make a choice.

Such a good inkstone, not to mention using it, there are very few people who have seen it, and there are people reading all around, and they all want to feast their eyes, so everyone gathered around, and the counter suddenly crowded.

At this time, Gu Qingzhu was half-squatting next to him to compare the price of ink ingots, and suddenly he was hit by someone, his knees fell to the ground suddenly, and he knocked on the bluestone slab, in pain, and even fell out with his purse, and almost spilled the rice bag in the back basket.

She picked up her purse, held on to the bamboo basket, and turned her head to see which daredevils were so careless, only to see a boy in green clothes running out of the door in a panic.

"Ahh What about my money? The young man who was playing with the inkstone at the counter suddenly exclaimed, he chose the inkstone, but was surprised to find that the purse on his waist was missing!

Hearing the sound, the crowd that was still crowded into a crowd hula scattered, one to avoid suspicion, and the other was to bow his head to retrieve his own money bag, fortunately except for the young man, no one else was stolen.

Outside the door, there was a strong man in a gray short fight, hearing the commotion in the store, he walked in quickly, and caught a glimpse of his little master's eyes, he immediately stopped the door, and said sharply: "The county government handles the case, and no one can leave!" ”

"This ...... How does this say? The shopkeeper turned pale with fright, and ran to the strong man and asked.

"There have been a series of thefts in your store in the past few days, and I haven't interrogated you yet, but you still ask me?!" The strong man stared at the leopard and said in a rough voice.

"I ...... I really don't know, and I don't know which person is against me! The shopkeeper cried out with a sad face.

The strong man left him and whistled outward, and a group of soap-clad servants with sabers in their hands came running briskly from the corner of the street.

"Check them all out for me!" The strong man was obviously a patrol officer, and he gave orders loudly.

A number of well-trained officials searched the customers in the shop one by one, and after making sure that there was no suspicion, they were allowed to stand in a row facing the counter.

A thin official rudely turned Gu Qingzhu's bamboo basket upside down, and turned out a royal blue purse embroidered with clouds and water patterns under the rice bag, and he asked sharply: "Say, where did you come from?!" ”

Seeing this, the strong man's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward with an arrow, snatched the purse, and touched it, as he expected, it was deflated, and then shouted: "Where's the money?!" ”

"This ...... It's not mine, I don't have a head, I don't know what money is! Gu Qingzhu was shocked.

She just held on to the rice bag, but she didn't expect the thief to hide the incriminating evidence in her bamboo basket!

"Of course it's not yours! Say! What about your accomplices? You have to quibble, because this purse and the silver coin have already been poisoned with colorless and odorless, although this poison does not hurt your life, but just the fingers that touch the purse and the silver will turn black, you look at your hands, what else can you say! The strong man pointed to Gu Qingzhu's hand and said loudly.

"No...... Isn't this ......" Gu Qingzhu shook her head again and again, her hands were smeared with tea, what does it have to do with this purse?

"I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!" As soon as the strong man waved his hand, the two officials wanted to step forward and twist Gu Qingzhu.

"Cui Fu, it's not this girl, let her go!" The young man in the moon-white brocade robe who had been leaning on the counter spoke out in time to stop it.

At this time, Gu Qingzhu was able to look up at him in shock, only to see that the young man was not as weak as the crown, his eyebrows and eyes were thin, his face was thin, his skin was so white that it was like a white lotus that was not stained with dust, and even his lips were pale pink, as if he was born with congenital deficiencies, he was dressed in white and was better than snow, and people were more comparable to the heavenly immortals, when he spoke, his eyes swept lightly over all the people, capturing the subtle changes on their faces.

"Childe?" Cui Fu clenched his fists, and had doubts.

The young man gave him a calm look, turned his head to the crowd and said: "I am shocked to everyone, I believe that everyone is a scholar, and they will never do such an insulting thing of stealing, but thieves are really hateful, and the investigation is a last resort." ”

"Fortunately, with the help of this girl today, I finally caught the culprit!" The young man paused, and raised his hand to point to an unremarkable-looking man in the crowd.

The officials swarmed up, and before he could react, they grabbed him with both hands.

"The patrol lord has confirmed that it was the country girl who stole the purse when she saw her wealth, who are you? Why accuse me! The man was forcefully suppressed, struggling and screaming in annoyance.

"He is the son of the county order, the first genius in Nancang County, and in order to catch you today, he will not hesitate to bait you himself!" Cui Fu kicked the man's knee, and the man was in pain and fell to his knees.

"I'm not convinced! I have neither a purse nor any money on me, how can I be a thief! Even though he was pressed to the ground, the man still tried to die.

"You don't care about your face, you want to understand now, I can naturally fulfill you!" The young man took a step forward and said slowly, "I have been observing you, when Cui Patrol said that the finger that took the money bag would turn black, others were either whispering, or curious to look down at the hand, only you abnormally put your hand behind your back, let me ask, if you don't have a ghost in your heart, lest others see the difference, why do you have to do this?" ”

"But my fingers aren't black!" The man yelled, and at the neck, the green tendons burst out.

"That's just because this girl happened to have tea juice on her hands, Cui Xun's arrest used the topic to play, what you want is everyone's instinctive reaction, you can't admit it now, but your scholar will be taken to the county government every once in a while, and everyone will get the stolen goods, see what else you have to say!" The young man's tone was light, but it was thunderous.

As soon as the man heard this, he suddenly became dumb like a frosted eggplant, and sweat beaded down his face.

"Take it away!" Cui Fu waved his hand, and the officials dragged the man away like a dead dog.

The people present were shocked by this twist and turn, and some dared to follow the county government and continue to watch the excitement, while the others were somewhat frightened, and they were no longer in the mood to buy, so they left one after another, Gu Qingzhu was crowded by the crowd and withdrew from the calligraphy and painting shop.

Gu Qingzhu stood on the street in a trance, this happened suddenly, and she was wronged in vain, although it turned out that it was not her, but her heart was still beating suddenly, she walked quickly, just wanted to dispel this bad feeling.

"Girl...... Please...... Wait a minute! A gentle voice came from behind him, and the person who spoke was probably running in, and his breath was uneven.

Gu Qingzhu stopped, turned around and looked back, and it turned out to be the young man in the white brocade robe in the calligraphy and painting shop.

"It's Su Duchun, the girl was frightened, theft has been rampant recently, and today I deliberately made a game to lure the thief into the urn, but I inadvertently affected the girl, the incident happened accidentally, not intentionally offended, and I hereby make amends." The young man walked up to Gu Qingzhu and bowed down.

"Ah, nothing, nothing." Gu Qingzhu waved her hand again and again, she was still stunned, she only knew that the truth of this matter was revealed, and it had nothing to do with her, where did she dare to ask for an apology.

"Ah......h

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Qingzhu panicked and grabbed him, and his other hand instinctively caught his pulse.

"Medicine...... Medicine ......" Su Wanchun half leaned on Gu Qingzhu's thin shoulder, and wanted to tear off the purse around his waist, but he couldn't use half of his strength.

"Where? Where is the medicine? Gu Qingzhu struggled to hold the half-soft man and asked anxiously.

Su Duanchun spun around, almost fainted, so weak that he couldn't make a sound, Gu Qingzhu was shorter than him, so he had to shrug his thin shoulders to support him, and on the other side lowered his head to touch him, looking for medicine everywhere.

"Hey, hey, hey! Who are you, his tofu, you dare to eat it! A loud shout exploded in Gu Qingzhu's ears.

Immediately after, a pair of large hands grabbed her arms fiercely.

He ...... He suddenly fainted just now, and he wanted to eat ......" Gu Qingzhu hurriedly explained, and when he looked up, he saw someone coming, and swallowed the words directly.

Mu Jincheng only recognized Su Duchun, but he didn't expect to meet her again, he was not afraid of the demon king of the mixed world, and he was at a loss for a while.

"He seems to have a heart disease, if you are his friend, you should always know what medicine he takes and where the medicine is, right?" The weight on Gu Qingzhu's body was a little heavier, and out of the benevolence of the doctor, she endured her disgust and hurriedly asked.

"Yes, yes, in the purse!" Mu Jincheng was busy and bent down to drag.

Gu Qingzhu got closer, and when he heard this, he hurriedly reached out to get it, but he didn't want the hands of the two to cover the purse at the same time, although it was only for a moment, it was like being struck by lightning suddenly, the girl's soft and silky softness made Mu Jincheng numb and crispy from his hand to his heart.

That brief touch, for Gu Qingzhu, did not feel the slightest at all, she had already quickly taken out a turquoise porcelain bottle from her purse with her fingers, and asked, "Do you want to eat one?" ”

"Huh?" After that, Mu Jincheng couldn't help but curse himself in his heart, he was a human being in two lives, and he was so good!

In order to cover up his embarrassment, he relied on his height, grabbed Su Duchun from Gu Qingzhu's shoulder, reached out to take a pill, pinched his mouth, and stuffed it in.

"I'm going to find a bowl of water." Seeing that he was so rude and sloppy, Gu Qingzhu looked down on him more and more, and began to pity this abused young man in white in his heart.

When Gu Qingzhu begged for a bowl of water from the street shop, Su Duchun had already recovered and stood side by side with Mu Jincheng, his face was still not good, but in the end, he came to his senses, he drank the water, and apologized to her weakly.

Seeing that he was fine, Gu Qingzhu put a bamboo basket on his back and planned to go home.

"Girl, please tell me your name, so that you can come to the door next day to thank you!" Su Duchun said softly.

"It's just a gesture, no need to thank you." Gu Qingzhu shook his hand and walked straight away.

"Little uncle, you are used to pleasing girls on weekdays, why don't you say a word today, and don't help me ask?" Su Duchun rolled his eyes and looked at Mu Jincheng with some surprise.
