The head catcher looked at the comparison of his strength with the other party, and knew that if he did it now, he would definitely not be able to take advantage, but Xiao Mu's abnormal reward behavior and Lin Yi's suspicious attire always reminded the head catcher that he was probably not a good person, of course, he was unwilling to let it go so easily, as for whether the stinky tofu stall was smashed or not, and it didn't matter who ate whose tofu and didn't give money.

Fortunately, his subordinates were clever, and just after the head catcher made a very covert gesture, one of the catchers quietly left the scene and went back to the yamen to transfer rescue troops, so now the head catcher only needs to delay time.

"What are you and you, second brother, doing on the street? And why do you want to reward him with ten taels of silver? The catcher stared at Lin Ye and Xiao Mu for a long time before asking.

Of course, Xiao Mu also felt the naked suspicion of this head catcher, and was asked inexplicably by him, and at this time he also lost his temper, and replied with a posture that I can spend as much money as I want: "My second brother and I can go to the street if we want to, and we can reward money if we want to, what do you have to do with it?" ”

The head catcher was choked by Xiao Mu, and he also knew that his question was a bit abrupt, but he still felt that the person in front of him was so fearless in the face of himself, he must have relied on the strength of others, so he dared to be so rude, if it was an ordinary good person, how could he talk to the official in such an arrogant tone? - This head catcher is really not wrong, Xiao Mu is indeed a big background, not from an ordinary people's family, of course, there is no need to be very polite to him. It's just that the next train of thought of this head catcher deviated from the right track, and regarded Xiao Mu and them as a large criminal gang, but this is really understandable, because he couldn't imagine that the emperor in front of him was actually the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

So the head catcher decided not to ask Xiao Mu anymore, anyway, even if he asked, the other party would not answer honestly, and he had the heart to ask the man who beat people again, but seeing that he was also very arrogant, he must not be able to ask anything, it is better to wait for the rescuers to come and ask them carefully after they are all killed.

"Hu Zhutou, look, this person is Wang Lao Wu!" At this time, one of his subordinates said to him in a tone that had discovered an old acquaintance.

"What?" Hu Zhutou listened to the report of his subordinates, and then went to pay attention to the one lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, this person was beaten so that his face was swollen, and it seemed that even his mother might not be able to recognize it immediately, Hu Zhutou didn't pay attention to it just now, and he really didn't find it, and now after being reminded by his subordinates, and then take a closer look, this person is indeed an "old acquaintance" - this person's surname is Wang, the fifth in the family, usually called Wang Lao Wu, is a well-known scoundrel in this area, and he is idle on weekdays, specializing in those things that steal chickens and dogs, I don't know how many times he has been arrested by the government, he has long been a frequent visitor to the prison, but he still refuses to change his teachings, so there is no one in the entire Shuntian Mansion who does not know him.

"Well, that's right, it's really Wang Lao Wu!" Hu Zhutou just spent all his energy on suspecting the sky-high reward of ten taels of silver, as well as the abnormal dress of the other party's woman disguised as a man, and he didn't even pay attention to who the beaten person was, and now he found out that it was Wang Lao Wu who was beaten, and Hu Zhutou's previous thinking was completely overturned.

"Since this person is Wang Lao Wu, it makes sense to go to extort when he saw that the vendor got the reward." Hu Zhutou pondered in his heart, "As for the woman dressed as a man, maybe it's really a rich lady who wants to go shopping on the street?" Maybe these two people have a lot of money, so they didn't put ten taels of silver in their eyes, and they rewarded them when they said they were rewarded? Since it is a rich family, there should be nothing wrong with bringing a housekeeper and a dozen or so family guards when you go out......"

All in all, after discovering that the person who was beaten was the famous scoundrel Wang Lao Wu, Hu Zhutou's suspicion of Xiao Mu and Lin Yi was greatly reduced in an instant, it seems that this Wang Lao Wu is indeed famous, and his power is really visible. This is also a very normal thing, and it is obvious that the possibility of extortion and extortion is greater than the probability that Xiao Mu and his gang are cult thieves.

"Wow, this Wang Lao Wu is getting more and more bold, not only for petty theft, but now he dares to extort money in broad daylight, if he doesn't teach him a hard lesson this time, maybe he will dare to kill people and set fire in the future!" Hu Zhutou thought in his heart, he also hated this Wang Lao Wu, if he hadn't been idle, he would not have doubted Xiao Mu's identity, obviously, Hu Zhutou had calculated all the accounts of his misjudgment just now on Wang Lao Wu's head, and decided to clean up Wang Lao Wu well.

But Hu Zhutou immediately found that it was not his turn to make a move, and this Wang Lao Wu had already been beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, "Well, now that he is beaten like this, he deserves it, and he still has to be locked up for a while when he goes back, and it's a big deal to let the prison prepare a few more months of prison food for him, so that he won't have crooked thoughts in the future." ”

Hu Zhutou saw that although Wang Lao Wu was beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he was not so relieved that he would lose his life, after all, once human life was involved, the whole thing would be troublesome.

Now that things are basically clear, combined with Wang Lao Wu's style of acting on weekdays, what the hawker just said can basically be believed, so the person dressed as a noble son in front of him should be a rich and powerful figure in the family, so he will be so abnormally ten taels of silver as soon as he makes a move, and he dares to be so polite to himself as an official.

It's just that there is still a little bit that Hu Zhutou doesn't understand, he himself is also an experienced head catcher, which ones are rich and powerful in this capital, and the princes and officials generally don't dare to provoke, he generally understands something, after all, there are many powerful people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if you don't figure these out, it won't be good to run into a master who can't be provoked, and there will be a misunderstanding. But the one in front of him seems to be a big deal, but he has never seen or heard of such a number one person before, Hu Zhutou feels the need to inquire clearly, to see what the other party is from, is there a pavilion old Shangshu who has just entered Beijing to take office, and brought Miss Gongzi?

Hu Zhutou's attitude towards Xiao Mu this time was much better than just now, and the expression on his face was much softer, and he couldn't see the suspicious look he had before. He just wanted to talk to Xiao Mupan, and by the way, he inquired about the origin of the noble son in front of him, but suddenly found that this noble son's face was very ugly at this time, and he and his subordinates had been surrounded by the dozen or so guards he brought!
