"Su Zhen, let me ask you again, where did you steal this money from?" Shopkeeper Liu asked coldly.

Chi Fei replied very calmly: "Shopkeeper, when the boy first came to the rice shop to apply for the account office, he said: The boy has read the book of sages since he was a child, knows what it means to be courteous, righteous and honest, and will never dare to do anything wrong to humiliate his ancestors." How these silver tickets came from, the kid has already explained, it's just that you don't believe it. ”

"Are you a fool to be an old man? I went to a nearby bookstore and asked, and a rookie author is only about 100 words at most. How many words do you have to write to make up enough money for this one hundred and two taels of silver? I'll give you one last chance, do you recruit or not? ”

"The boy is telling the truth."

"Okay, since you are stubborn, don't blame the old man for being rude. Changdong, tie him up, I'm going to take him to see the official. Shopkeeper Liu shouted loudly.

"Yes, shopkeeper." Liu Changdong picked up the rope and walked over excitedly.

Looking at his villainous face, Chi Fei sneered, "Sinister villain, you will have retribution." ”

"Hmph, you are still hard-mouthed when you die, I see if you will be so hard-mouthed after you are imprisoned."

Just as Liu Changdong was about to tie up someone, Deng Quan, who had just rushed back from outside, saw this situation and hurriedly ran over to stop him, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, the shopkeeper wait a minute, don't do it." Chen's tent room came, and he was outside. ”

came in with Deng Quan, as well as Zhang Quanshui, Zhang Dachun, and Liu An. They came back early today according to the instructions of Shopkeeper Liu.

"You said Chen's tent, why did he come?" Shopkeeper Liu frowned.

Deng Quan coughed a little weakly, "I don't know, but the other person is outside, and he is coming over soon." ”

Shopkeeper Liu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered: "Prepare tea immediately, and then invite him to the living room......"

"No need, the old man is not here to drink tea and make noise." With a slightly old voice, Chen Tent walked in, followed by a man behind him.

Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly greeted him, "Chen Tent, why are you here?" ”

Chen stroked his beard and said, "I heard that something happened in your store, so the old man came over to take a look." ”

"You're tired. This time, it was indeed because I was not good at employing people and believed in the wrong people, so this kind of thing happened. When the matter is settled, I will ask the owner for my guilt. ”

"Wait a minute, don't rush to plead guilty, let's get things straight. Let me introduce you first, this is the golden shopkeeper of the Chengnan branch of Juyazhai, and he was specially invited by me. ”

Shopkeeper Liu greeted the shopkeeper with a fist, and the shopkeeper also returned the salute.

Next, Chen said to the golden shopkeeper of Juyazhai: "The golden shopkeeper, this time I invite you to come here to let you recognize a person, and by the way, to give a personal witness, I wonder if you are willing?" ”

"Chen Tent is polite, the old man also heard about this and came, of course he is willing."

"Okay, just ask the gold shopkeeper to take a closer look, do you recognize this young man?"

The golden shopkeeper then looked at the young man standing in the middle of the courtyard, and after seeing the other man's appearance clearly, he said with great certainty: "I know this little brother, just five days ago, he sold me the manuscript of a new script. I paid him one hundred and twenty-eight taels of silver, of which one hundred and twenty taels were silver and eight and five were silver. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback.

Then, the shopkeeper Jin said with some doubts: "It's just that this little brother told me that those manuscripts were written by his master, and he is just a little guy who is responsible for running errands." What's going on here? ”

Chen Tent instructed Chi Fei: "Su Zhen, tell me what is going on?" ”

Chi Fei said to the golden shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I'm really sorry, the kid didn't tell the truth, in fact, the manuscript was written by me, and there is no owner." ”

"Is that true?" The golden shopkeeper was very surprised.

Chi Fei said very frankly: "Because the kid is still young, he is afraid of being looked down upon and afraid of being underpriced, so he lied that he was a little guy, and it was my master who wrote this manuscript." ”

"Do you have a way to prove that what you say is true?" The golden shopkeeper still couldn't believe it.

No matter how you look at it, this young man is only twelve or thirteen years old, how can he write such an amazing work.

"The way to prove it is very simple, I will write out a part of the manuscript on the spot, and you can compare the handwriting of the manuscript, so that it is clear."

"That's a good idea, Chen Tent Room, can you please bring some paper and ink?"

"Please wait a moment." Chen Tent waved his hand to Deng Quan.

Deng Quan hurriedly ran to his room to get something.

While everyone was waiting, Liu Changdong, who was originally triumphant, was full of panic in his eyes at this time, and he found that the situation had completely departed from his imagination.

Zhang Quanshui and the three of them looked at Chi Fei in shock, as if they knew him on the first day.

As for Shopkeeper Liu, he also began to realize that the truth was different from what he believed, and cold sweat couldn't help but ooze from his forehead.

Soon, pen, ink and paper arrived. Chi Fei was not polite, and directly picked up the brush and wrote on the white paper.

"Liang Zhu" is a work that he has pondered many times and revised many times, and he is very familiar with everything in it.

Even if you can't write it all down word for word, you can restore at least 80 or 90 percent.

After writing down the beginning of the first chapter, about 200 words, he handed the paper to the shopkeeper Jin, which had not yet completely dried.

When the shopkeeper took it, he immediately recognized that the words on it were indeed the handwriting of the manuscript.

The handwriting is not very good, but it is neat and clear, and it is as impressive as the unique style of writing, so he can recognize it at a glance.

The golden shopkeeper couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Little brother, you deceived so badly." It turns out that you are the real owner of the manuscript. ”

"It's also a helpless move for me to do this, please forgive the shopkeeper."

"Well, I understand. If it were me, I would do the same.

Chen's tent room, Liu's shopkeeper, and the old man have confirmed that this little brother is indeed the real owner of the manuscript. The money was also paid by me in person, and there was nothing unspeakable. I wonder if you two still have any questions? ”

Chen asked Shopkeeper Liu: "Shopkeeper Liu, do you still have questions?" ”

At this time, the shopkeeper Liu, who was already sweating profusely, hurriedly replied: "No, no, it turns out that everything is a misunderstanding by me." I'm sorry I also alarmed your old man. ”

Only then did Chen Tent say to the golden shopkeeper: "Golden shopkeeper, we have no doubts. I'm really sorry to have you come here this time. ”

"Chen Tent is polite, this is just a gesture for the old man. If nothing else, the old man will go first. ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for the gold shopkeeper."

When he was about to leave, the shopkeeper Jin also said to Chi Fei: "Little brother, after the new book is printed, you can come to our store when you have time, and the old man will give you a hardcover book as a souvenir." ”

"Thank you shopkeeper, I'll go. Also, thank you again for testifying for the kid, the kid can't be more grateful. ”

"You're polite, you're welcome, the old man will go first."

After clasping his fists and saluting the others, the golden shopkeeper left the courtyard.

After the golden shopkeeper left, Chen Tent first glanced coldly at Liu Changdong, who was shrunk into a ball like a quail and didn't dare to make a sound, and then said to the shopkeeper Liu: "Shopkeeper Liu, since the matter has been clarified, let them go back to rest first." Let's find a place to talk. ”

"Okay, okay, please here, please here." Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly invited him to the living room.

After the two walked away, Liu Changdong didn't dare to stay longer for a moment, and immediately slipped back to his room with his tail between his legs.

Zhang Quanshui, Zhang Dachun, and Liu An just looked at Chi Fei blankly, still unable to believe that he had really written a book and sold it for so much money.

Only Deng Quan was the happiest. He knew that Ah Zhen would not do such a thing as stealing money, and now the truth is finally revealed.

Chi Fei glanced at Deng Quan, then looked at the living room, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although the reality is difficult, people are indifferent. But as long as there is kindness, there will always be some people and some things that will make people feel that there is still humanity and warmth in this world.
