Some of the people around shook their heads and sighed, and some exchanged heads and ears, but most of them pointed at Kong Deshan, and some of the people in the front row spoke loudly, and the loud voices of some people in the front row had reached Yao Guangqi's ears, "Shameless, I want to hack money when I see people with money", "He didn't do much before this matter, Kong Erfa and a few of them also shared a lot of benefits, it's really a sin." ”

Yao Guangqi felt that the heat was almost over, and deliberately said loudly: "Just now, you asked us for silver, but you didn't ask us if we were Jiangyang thieves, it turned out that the door was here." ”

"The money was mine! You are talking nonsense! Kong Deshan was completely blinded, his thinking was confused, and his speech was incoherent.

"Oh" Yao Guangqi moved quickly, and took out a piece of silver from Kong Deshan's arms, and sighed in admiration: "It is worthy of the hometown of a saint, you people are really generous, you are native, you still carry so much silver when you go out every day, and you have such a big expense?" ”

In the face of Yao Guangqi's ridicule, Kong Deshan's face became more and more pale, "This..."

Yao Guangqi was unforgiving: "Where is your local government?" We, the big thieves of the rivers and oceans, want to surrender and ask the whereabouts of the silver. ”

When Kong Deshan heard that he was going to the government, his feet were weak in fright, and he almost knelt on the ground after a while, he hurriedly pointed to the shopkeeper: "It's all him, it's what he said, he said that you are Jiangyang thieves, I was deceived by him, this is a misunderstanding, it is that bastard who is provoking." ”

Yao Guangqi turned his head to look at the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper's face was pale with fright, his upper and lower teeth kept fighting, his steps retreated, and before Yao Guangqi walked in front of him, the shopkeeper knelt down, and kept kowtowing with his hands. Yao Guangqi just whispered: "What do you say?" ”

The shopkeeper just kept kowtowing: "The little one was confused for a while, and the little one didn't dare." ”

Yao Guangqi sighed: "If you want to be like this earlier, why bother so much!" ”

"Okay" A loud voice came out of the crowd, Yao Guangqi turned around and looked, only to see a tall man dodging out of the crowd, this person walked out of the crowd and came to Yao Guangqi, "Now that the truth has been revealed, and your grievances have been washed away, why should you be unforgiving, although they have the intention of seeking money, they are not harmful to others." The sage said that a gentleman should be lenient and benevolent, and a few of them are monks, so don't they even have the amount to tolerate people? ”

Yao Guangqi looked at this person, this person was dressed in cloth, tall, with broad shoulders and thick back, a purple face, a full heavenly court, a wide forehead and a straight nose, a solemn face, and a righteous body, which made people feel awe at a glance.

Yao Guangqi secretly sighed that he was really a good man, and after listening to his good conversation, he said with a straight face: "If you have the heart to make money and are harmless to others, you have to open the net?" If we don't teach them a lesson this time, the next time they see other people's money, they will still have bad intentions, they will still seek money and harm others, can we avoid this catastrophe, and can others also avoid it? ”

Before this person could speak, Kong Deshan had already reached the feet of this person with a series of small steps: "Deshan, good brother, save me, help me, I don't dare, I don't dare to make money anymore, today I was also instigated by that beast, and I am the only seedling in my family!" ”

"People want to teach you a lesson, but they don't say they want your life." This man named Deshang saw Kong Deshan so bearish and soft, and showed a look of disgust.

"Is this your brother? It turns out that the people in the saint's hometown are all protecting their shortcomings in this way. Yao Guangqi sneered, showing a disdainful expression.

This Kong Deshang was a little anxious by Yao Guangqi's words, and his face also showed an angry expression: "What does it have to do with the saint's hometown or not?" Besides, I don't mean to protect the shortcomings, what I am saying are the teachings of the saints, since you are not injured in the slightest, it is good to punish him slightly, so that he can be vigilant and fearful in the future, which is also the original intention of the saint to moralize and save people. ”

Yao Guangqi smiled: "Since that's the case, how do you say how to punish them, how can they make them remember it for a long time?" ”

Yao Guangqi's words stopped Kong Deshang's question for a while, and he didn't think about this question for a while, at this time, Bu Operator took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "In this way, if they are the first offenders, they will not be punished, but they must admit their mistakes in front of all the villagers and elders, and never make them again, what do you think?" After speaking, he waited for Condeschamp's reply.

Kong Deshang clapped his hands and applauded: "The master is really a wonderful person, this is really a good way to be lenient and benevolent." He turned his head and said to Kong Deshan: "Hear clearly, as long as you admit your mistake in public and promise not to make it again in the future, several masters will agree to bypass you." ”

Kong Deshan nodded like pounding garlic: "I admit my mistake, I admit my mistake." Folks, I was wrong, I shouldn't believe this nonsense, framed a good person, and never do it again. ”

Yao Guangqi felt that Kong Deshan's confession was very slippery, so he avoided talking about his own money, but just blindly emphasized listening to other people's rumors, and was about to open his mouth to question, but Jiang Sheng had already taken the lead: "Alas yourself..."

Jiang Sheng's words were forcibly interrupted by the fortune operator, "Forget it, since he also said it, let's go over this matter."

Jiang Sheng glanced at the Taishi Ancestor with some puzzlement, and forcibly held back the words behind him, Yao Guangqi saw that the master said this, and did not speak.

Bu Zhuanzi patted Yao Guangqi on the shoulder, "It's not early, let's not leave today, find an old shop in the town and stay for one night." ”

Kong Deshang stepped forward with a smile and asked: "A few masters want to invest in the store, if you can trust it, I can recommend a few old stores?" ”

Yao Guangqi said with a smile: "Then I will trouble you, so that we will save a lot of trouble." ”

At this time, the onlookers have dispersed, Kong Deshang is leading the way in front, he is walking while introducing the local people, this town is called Lao Lin Town, in addition to the Kong family, the Lin family and the Liu family are also the largest family in the town, but because it is close to Tai'an, it is also half a saint's hometown, the influence of Confucius is large and far-reaching, so the local government has always liked to let the people of the Kong family be the chief, this Kong Deshan is the town's Kong family's long lineage, Kong Deshan's father died the year before last, and the head here was designated to be taken over by him.

Saying that, Yao Guangqi and a few people were taken to the door of a store, Yao Guangqi looked up, and there were a few gilded characters on the plaque~ Renyi old store, Yao Guangqi looked at the plaque and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being close to the hometown of the saint, and even the merchants are benevolent and righteous merchants." ”

Kong Deshang smiled, and was about to invite the three of them into the store, but the little two in the store had already run out smartly, the towel in his hand kept dusting off the fortune operator, and his mouth was very diligent: "The old customers are here, a few masters must have come from afar, our store is the best in the town, clean and comfortable, and the chef's dishes are also famous." ”
