Chapter 32: The Old Man
In fact, Xiao Jin still didn't say anything, that is, to develop an arquebus, but he was going to do it himself.
After everyone had lunch, they all went their own way, Xiao Jin comforted Xu Yingying, and repeatedly assured that there would definitely be no trouble with Wang Er, who had dog legs.
He wanted to go to see Mrs. Wang, and learned from Wang Er that her mother was killed by Yao Zhaonian, and it seemed inappropriate not to take a look, in the final analysis, he was also partially responsible.
When he came to the house, he saw Mrs. Wang sitting in a daze in the flower pavilion, and looked for him, but after seeing him, he just glanced at him and ignored him, Xiao Jin was embarrassed for a while.
It's not to go, it's not to sit down, and he said to Wang Er, "Has the old lady's body been found?" ”
Xiao Jin only learned about the murder of Mrs. Wang's mother in the morning, so he ordered to go down for less than two hours, how could he find it so quickly, but a person with a dog's leg, Wang Er, who was more than fine, heard Xiao Jin ask in front of Mrs. Wang, and hurriedly said, "Please rest assured that your lord and Mrs. Wang, they have been found on the way back." ”
Xiao Jin nodded with satisfaction, seeing that Mrs. Wang's eyes moved, knowing that she must be very concerned, he took her hand and said, "Don't be too sad, wait for someone to send back, I will let Wang Er come to you, I will handle the funeral, what is missing, let Wang Er get it for you." ”
"Yao Zhaonian's brute let him run away, don't worry, I will definitely help you catch him."
Seeing that her attitude towards herself was better than when she first entered the door before, she still didn't pay attention to him. Knowing that she was too sad, he took her hand to appease her, and Xiao Jin left.
Mrs. Wang looked at Xiao Jin who was far away, and picked up the scissors hidden behind her, but the scissors were not to kill Xiao Jin, but she was ready to commit suicide, after learning that Xiao Jin mentioned her mother's body, she put it down again, as if she was wandering in grief, lingering, but she didn't have the courage to commit suicide again.
After Xiao came in and out, he said to Wang Er, "This is not a way, you come to help handle her mother's funeral, she lives alone in such a big mansion, I'm afraid she won't be able to think about it, you find two considerate maids to help and serve, you need to pay for the expenses, you go directly to Mr. Ji." ”
Wang Er nodded and said, "The little one knows, he only came yesterday, and he hasn't found a maid yet, don't worry." ”
The two wandered around the streets of the city, looked east and west, bought some gadgets and small objects and gave them to Xu Yingying and Mrs. Wang, and came out of the antique shop, and saw an old man in front of him being dragged on the ground. There was a boy and a little girl behind him, and he saw crying and shouting grandpa.
Xiao Jin is not young, the two children cried sadly, chased after him, and shouted, "Stop, the court is public, dare to commit murder and hurt people?" ”
Wang Er Mazi saw that the old man was nosy, so he had no choice but to run to the front and grabbed the corner of Xiao Jin's clothes, "Mrs. Xu specially explained to me, I can't be provoked... ”
Before he finished speaking, he was frightened by Xiao Jin's eyes, and the big man who was dragging in front of him was dressed in brocade clothes, and at first glance he was a rich kid, holding a fan in his hand and dragging the old man's braid in the other, and sneered, "There are really dogs with rats." ”
Xiao Jin listened to him scold him for being a dog,, why don't you want to die like this, and you don't see whose rule it is. ”
was just about to scold back, but Wang Er on the side rushed first, "Looking for death, do you know who you scolded?" This is the county magistrate, Lord Xiao, don't kneel down yet. ”
Xiao Jin looked at Wang Er speechlessly, but he didn't expect the man to laugh after listening to it, "It turned out to be Lord Xiao, I said that there are still people in this small county town who are so nosy, it turned out to be you, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”
Xiao Jin seemed to know his origin when he heard what he meant, "Since you know me, why do you still commit such a murder in front of this official?" ”
"This old immortal grandson broke the celadon I just bought, and he hasn't covered it yet, you must know that this Yuan blue and white porcelain is a rare treasure, I let them make compensation, and they don't have no money, so I have to take him to the government to find you."
"How much does it cost?"
"Not much, 100,000 taels of silver."
If this money is placed in modern times, is it really possible, in this era, to reach 100,000 taels of silver?
Xiao Jin even had no concept of price and knew that he was opening his mouth in the lion, "You really dare to ask for it, and you dare to extort in front of your own officials." ”
Wang Er also helped, "That is, dare to blackmail us as adults, and watch Lao Tzu arrest you and go back to the yamen." As soon as he pulled out the knife, he stepped forward and saw five or six thugs coming out from behind the man, and Wang Er shrank back again.
"Xiao Jin, you are too arrogant, dare to arrest me? Try it with me, Wang Er Mazi, don't you recognize who I am? ”
When Wang Er heard him say this, he took a closer look, but he didn't expect to know each other.
He whispered to Xiao Jin, "My lord, I am the nephew of the prefect of Shun'an. My lord, this is not to be provoked. We.. ”
"Shut up, no wonder you dare to hurt people so much in broad daylight, it turns out to be Lord Wang's nephew, hehe, are you so tired and crooked? There is a road in heaven, you don't go, there is no door in hell, you ran in by yourself, Wang Er, you go and call Xiao Jianlai, seal the city gate, and arrest this nephew of Lord Wang for me. ”
"Your Excellency?"
The man said to Xiao Jin with a confused face, he didn't understand a word, and it was really strange to see that he was not afraid of himself.
Wang Er pulled his legs and ran to the county office.
Xiao Jin saw that he couldn't understand, and probably didn't know about his uncle and Yao Zhaonian, so under the complicated expression of the young man, he pulled the old man and the two children.
The man was puzzled, but he didn't dare to do it without permission, stopped the thugs who were about to move behind, and arched his hand, "Dare to ask what the adults mean by what they said before?" ”
"Oh, it's not interesting, I mean, your uncle is not good with me, and I'm going to invite you to my house for a drink, haha."
"Haha, even if you know each other, come on, my manor is under your rule, and I still need adults to take good care of one or two."
Behind this person's ears, what Xiao Jin said, he only listened to half a sentence, and it was estimated that he was a master who looked at the sky with his eyes.
After a while, Xiao Jian came with more than a dozen people.
"Take it all down for me, throw it into the prison, dare to extort the court officials, it's not a small courage."
"You dare? Let my uncle know that you can't eat and walk around, who dares to touch me to try, who? Oops. “
Xiao Jian didn't care who he was, he fell to the ground with one kick and left.
The old man who had been afraid on the side saw that the man had been arrested, and kowtowed to Xiao Jin and said, "Lord Xie's life-saving grace, Lord Xie, Lord Xie." ”
"The old man got up to speak, as the parent official of this place, what the official did should be."
After the old man got up, he took the two children and was ready to leave, when the little boy saw a sugar gourd seller shouting and came over, he begged his grandfather to buy two strings, and the old man said, "Grandpa didn't have any money on him, and when I finished the work and got paid, I will buy a string for you two people, okay." “
After Xiao Jin heard it, he smiled and bought two strings of sugar gourds and handed them to the twins, these two children looked like dragon and phoenix fetuses, and said with a smile, "You two children are so cute." ”
He asked the old man what he was doing, but he didn't expect the old man to say, "I am an old blacksmith, my son is in the city to make farm tools for the owner, two days ago the city gate was sealed, no, I heard early this morning that people can enter the city, so I took the two children to see his father, and by the way went to give my son a hand." ”
