Chapter VII: Ning Shaoqiu's Case
The hooked nose and cheeky face retreated into the crowd, Ning Shaoqiu turned around and glanced at the two of them, the honest man had a frank face, plus a hint of expectant little eyes looking at him, and then looked at the somewhat thin businessman, the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and the slippery eyeballs were not a good person at first glance.
Of course, this must not be used as the basis for judging the case, if the case is really decided like this, I am afraid that Ning Shaoqiu will not be able to step down.
"You two, I've just arrived, and I haven't heard it all! I don't know who will tell me how this happened! Ning Shaoqiu had actually heard a rough idea, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he simply asked one of the two to come out and tell the story first, so that the onlookers present could also testify.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked merchant immediately scrambled to speak: "I'll tell you!" Son! ”
"Okay! You can come, you can come, but there is one sentence I will put here first, if you say black to white, I will not spare you! The honest man couldn't fight, but he shook his casserole fist and frightened the merchant.
The merchant ignored the man, smiled flatteringly at Ning Shaoqiu, arched his hand and said, "This son, I had something important to talk to these two brothers about this morning, so I made an appointment to go to the teahouse together!" ”
The merchant pointed to Hooknose, who nodded in acquiescence.
The merchant continued: "On the way, I passed by this man's breakfast stall and asked him for two sesame cakes, and just as I was about to leave, the man suddenly came up and grabbed me, saying that I had stolen his money, and that I had to return it to him!" ”
"Childe, what do you 。。。。。。say?" The merchant's emotions suddenly became excited, and he reached out to grab Ning Shaoqiu's sleeve, but fortunately he reacted in time to avoid it, and the merchant was not embarrassed, his outstretched hand spread forward, and shouted loudly: "You say, is this unreasonable, I, Ma Daogui, am also a well-known ceramic merchant in Lizhou City, and now I am being so troubled by this guy, how will I behave in the future!" ”
"Oh? Do you make ceramics? Ning Shaoqiu's eyes lit up, and after listening for a long time, he finally heard some useful information.
"That's right!" Ma Daogui didn't know what Ning Shaoqiu meant, and looked at him suspiciously.
Ning Shaoqiu looked at the honest man with a strange smile on his face, and the man didn't know what this expression meant, but anxiously defended: "No, it's not!" I saw with my own eyes that he stole my usual money and put it in his pocket, I caught him red-handed, but he said the money in the pocket was his! ”
"The money was mine!" Ma Daogui was not to be outdone, and scolded back viciously: "You said that you are a seller of breakfast, you can have a few dollars a year, can I steal you!" I'm a member of the Tao family, blind to your dog's eyes, dare to rush into me! ”
Scolding and scolding, Ma Daogui's temper suddenly became bigger, but he scolded and scolded, and his body was still kept at a safe distance from the man.
Ning Shaoqiu smiled secretly and said, "This guy is not stupid!" ”
"That's it! Stop arguing with both of you! Ning Shaoqiu snorted coldly, which really quieted down the two of them.
After a final glance at the two of them, Ning Shaoqiu stretched out his hand: "Let's take out the money first!" Since you all say that this money is your own, then I can only judge the money, and let the money tell me which of you two is its master! ”
"What, what?" Ma Daogui was a little confused when he heard this.
The man also looked at Ning Shaoqiu with a strange expression, as if he was looking at a neurotic.
The onlookers on the side also looked at each other and talked in a whisper.
"What does this man say? He wants to judge copper coins? Could it be that copper coins can speak?! ”
"How is this possible! Don't be a fool with this guy! ”
"No, it won't! So handsome, would he be a fool? ”
The cheeks next to the hooked nose sneered directly: "Hey, you little guy don't be a fool who is confused about reading!" If money can speak, then it won't be fine? ”
"Second brother, he actually wants to judge the money, I really laughed to death!" With a full face, he patted the hooked shoulder and said, "There are really everyone in this Lizhou City!" ”
Eagle Hooknose ignored him, but looked at Ning Shaoqiu deadly, he didn't believe that this guy would be a fool, but he couldn't figure out how this guy was going to judge this copper coin.
"Come, who will help, bring me a basin of hot water, the hotter the better!" Ning Shaoqiu ignored the reactions of these onlookers, and said to himself, "Who can do me a favor?" ”
"I'll do it!" Someone in the crowd finally answered, and Ning Shaoqiu glanced at the person, who seemed to be the idler Hu Hansan.
"I'm tired!" Ning Shaoqiu arched his hand, and then said to Ma Daogui and the man: "Come on, two, where is the money now?" You can take it out! ”
"Yes, here I am!" Ma Daogui didn't know what Ning Shaoqiu wanted to do, but he never thought that copper coins could speak, so he was unusually confident when he took it out: "As long as Gongzi can return my innocence, no matter how it is tested, I will fully cooperate with you!" ”
The man snorted coldly, squinted his eyes and glanced at Ma Daogui without speaking, but looking at Ning Shaoqiu's eyes was even more expectant.
Ning Shaoqiu took a closer look at the copper coins, which were strung together with a rubber band, and there were more than a dozen of them.
With just one glance, Ning Shaoqiu already had the answer in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just glanced at Ma Daogui playfully, Ma Daogui's heart suddenly suddenly, although he didn't know what the brocade-clothed young man in front of him meant, but he faintly felt that something was going to happen, yes, the money was indeed stolen by him, but there were no outsiders present at the scene at that time except for him and the man.
"Could it be that this son can really judge money?" A ridiculous thought popped into his head, but it was quickly vetoed by himself: "Just kidding, I'm thinking too much!" ”
Recalming his emotions, Ma Daogui returned to normal, he wanted to see how this person came to judge money.
"The water is coming, the water is coming!" After waiting for a long time, Ning Shaoqiu finally heard Hu Hansan's voice, the man ran over panting with a brass-colored basin, and put it on the ground, and the hot water inside suddenly came up: "This is what I asked my mother-in-law to just burn, and I sent it over without delay!" ”
"How?" Hu Hansan glanced at Ning Shaoqiu in an inviting manner: "This son, my hot water is okay!" ”
Ning Shaoqiu nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you!" ”
"Then next!" Ning Shaoqiu spread out his palm, and the money slowly slipped from his hand into the hot water: "I'll judge this copper coin, who is its owner!" ”
When the crowd of onlookers heard this, they rushed forward, and they all wondered if this copper coin could really speak!
