Eleven Rogues

The scholar was not surprised to see Ding Si sitting in front of him, he was still calmly holding the wine glass, took a sip lightly, and asked with a smile on his face: "Brother Tai has been following for a long time, I don't know what advice I have?" ”

Only then did Hu Runze know that the scholar had already discovered that someone was following, and he couldn't help but praise the scholar for being vigilant and his skills must be extraordinary. He saw that this scholar was extraordinary, and he had already risen to the heart of fellowship, and he couldn't help but sit down with a cup.

The three of them sat down at a table, and Ding Si was not verbose, and said directly: "At first, the two of us wanted to chase after it and search for this ancient jade, which can be regarded as a stolen thing, but I didn't expect the little brother to grab one of the first and steal the bag in Chang Ruchun's arms, I don't know what Your Excellency will do with the things here?" ”

The scholar casually threw a peanut in his mouth and said with a smile on his face: "Since it is in my hands, I will deal with it as I like, but it depends on my mood." ”

Ding Si laughed, raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup, put the cup on the table, looked at the scholar and said, "I guess you must find a time to secretly return this piece of jade to the jade shop owner." ”

The scholar listened to what Ding Si said in his heart, and couldn't help but look up at Ding Si and twice, and when he saw Ding Si's qi, he couldn't help but have a little intersecting heart, smiled, reached out and took out the bag stolen from Chang Ruchun's body from his arms, poured out the contents "jingling", and said in his mouth: "Let's see what this guy has in it first." ”

As they spoke, the three of them saw several ingots of silver falling out of it, and a crystal clear jade was mixed inside. The scholar picked up this piece of jade casually, and praised it in his mouth: "The tentacles are warm, and the fruit is not ordinary." ”

Ding Si said: "No wonder the surname Chang has the heart to take and rob, but this time it is cheaper, saving him a punishment, according to the "Da Ming Law", taking people and property should be punished with a hundred rods and three years in prison." ”

The scholar couldn't help but laugh a little when he heard this: "How can there be so many things in this world, even if you twist the yamen, he doesn't admit that he changed the jade, what proof do you have for empty words." ”

Ding Sizheng said: "If it weren't for Your Excellency's help, I would have wanted to twist Chang Ruchun on the spot and send it to the yamen, but I had already instructed the owner of the jade shop to complain to the yamen." ”

The scholar stared at Ding Si twice: "Brother Tai is not from Quanzhou, right?" ”

Ding Si said calmly: "I came from the capital, and I just arrived in Quanzhou for two days. ”

The scholar thought for a while and said: "The capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, presumably no one dares to do illegal and forbidden things in the capital, right?" ”

Ding Si thought for a while, shook his head and said, "There are many dignitaries in the capital, and there are also arrogant and indulgent ones. It's just that I think that bullying is common, so someone must dare to stand up and let those bad people know that there is always justice in this world. ”

His words were sincere, and his face was upright, but the scholar was completely unmoved: "If there is a heavenly principle in this world, there will be no such thing as forcing good people to become prostitutes and pointing to deer as horses." ”

Ding Si saw that his language was angry, and knew that he must have had an unusual experience, and he was not reluctant, but said again: "I think the little brother's skillful kung fu is very good, and he must be used to doing it, but even if it is uneven, you must be careful that the other party jumps over the wall in a hurry, if it is reported to the government, this trouble will be big." ”

The scholar listened to Ding Si's words with some disapproval, but Ding Si's words made his heart move, and he couldn't help but feel a little stunned, thought for a while, and finally stopped the dispute, and said a little unwillingly: "I hope that the black and white in this world will be obvious, everyone will have their own place, teach this good person to be rewarded, and the bad person will be punished." ”

Ding Si was happy when he saw that he obviously listened, and let Xiao Er serve a pot of good wine, and the three of them had a good time. After drinking, the scholar couldn't help but say: "Today and the two of you hit it off at first sight, it is very rare, in Xia Zheng Zhiyang, friends on the rivers and lakes gave a nickname, called the Holy Hand." Ding Si saw that he had leaked the details to himself, and knew that he was sincerely interacting with him, but he didn't dare to reveal the identity of his trip easily, so he thought about it and said loudly: "In Xia Ding Fuxin, this is my brother Gu Yanyu, who is from the capital, and usually likes to play with knives and guns, so he often takes care of the family and the hospital for others. He dismantled half of his "Ding Catch" and Hu Runze's name, and hid his identity.

Zheng Zhiyang saw that it was not early, so he patted his head and said: "I have to quickly return this jade to the jade boss, so as to save him from feeling uncomfortable, but Brother Ding, I dare to make a bet to you, the boss will not go to the yamen to report the case." After finishing speaking, he stood up, arched his hand, and said, "There will be a meeting later." He turned around and walked out of the hotel.

Ding Si saw that he was walking very freely, and couldn't help but say: "When the emperor was still the crown prince, he once had a wish, those who taught the world to be thieves were idle and unright-minded, but all right-minded gentlemen and gentlemen with good minds were not forced to embark on this road. ”

Hu Runze also sighed: "A character like this should be loyal to the country and do a career." It's a little embarrassing to do this business now. ”

Ding Si lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "This day will eventually come." ”

Hu Runze was surprised again: "He is so sure that the jade shop owner will not report to the official, is our previous instruction in vain?" ”

Ding Si said thoughtfully: "If there is an injustice, most people dare not report to the official, it means that everyone has no hope for the government, and they feel that it is useless to report to the official; If it's just a few people who don't report to the official, it means that this person is cowardly by nature, even if you want to support him, he can't support him. He sighed again and said, "I wonder if the owner of the jade shop has reported to the official?" If he didn't report to the official, was he not confident in the government or was he too timid? If everyone doesn't have much confidence in the government, then although Quanzhou is rich, it is also a superficial article, and Zhang Hansheng, the prefect, is still not very competent. He thought about it again and said, "Let's go, let's take a look at the jade shop owner." ”

The two turned all the way back to the City God Temple, and it didn't take much effort to find out about Zhang Long's jade shop, the two walked over, Zhang Long was sitting behind the counter, but his face was full of joy, the two guessed that the scholar Zheng Zhiyang must have returned the jade to Zhang Long, Zhang Long saw the guests, and immediately came out of it to greet them.

Ding Si stood still and said to Zhang Long: "Boss Zhang, I saw you arguing with someone on the street just now, why is your face full of spring breeze at this time?" ”

When Zhang Long heard Ding Si say this, he immediately remembered that it was the two of them who persuaded him to report to the official on the street, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised for a while, and said with some food in his mouth: "It's also a coincidence, just now a young scholar came to the store to look at jade, and I don't know what's going on, I saw a piece of jade in the corner of the second layer of the shelf at a glance, and it turned out to be my piece of jade." The young man who was wiping the jade in the store also ran over and said, "I hurriedly reported to Boss Zhang, who was uncomfortable at home, and rushed over immediately when he knew the news." On the side, he flattered: "Boss Zhang's auspicious nature, the jade handed down in this family is all aura, and outsiders can't take it away." ”

Zhang Long showed a little shame on his face: "Maybe I misunderstood Chang Ye, he didn't take that piece of jade in the first place, but I accidentally put it in the wrong place, which made Chang Ye unhappy." ”

Ding Si saw that Zhang Long was loyal and kind-hearted, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and didn't hide it from the guys in the store, and said directly to Zhang Long: "Boss Zhang, let's be careful in the future, you have to thank the scholar today." So he told Zhang Long what he had seen.

When Zhang Long heard the end, his eyes widened, and after thinking for a while, he was shocked, scared and a little angry: "It turns out that the surname Chang really has the heart to occupy my piece of jade, and today I am fortunate to meet that hero, otherwise, how can I be worthy of the ancestor of the Zhang family." ”

Ding Si said on the side again: "I originally wanted to twist Chang Ruchun, find this piece of jade on the spot, and then twist him to the government, and wait for the government to punish him, which can be regarded as a lesson for him, and he dare not hurt people again." But today's extraneous branches, Chang Ruchun is lucky, so he will avoid going to the government, I'm afraid he will still covet it, you better be careful. ”

Zhang Long's face changed slightly: "Thank you two brothers for your help, I will definitely hide this piece of jade in the future and never reveal it in front of people again." ”

Ding Si pondered for a while, and finally asked: "At that time, I told you to go to the government to report the case quickly, did you go or didn't go?" ”

Zhang Long shook his head, with a wry smile on his face: "I think my brother should be from other places, Chang Ruchun is powerful and powerful in Quanzhou, and he has always been rampant and domineering, and everyone swallows their anger when they are bullied." ”

Hu Runze next to him was already angry and said: "Is there no one who dares to report the case to the government?" Could it be that the government just let it go? ”

Zhang Long was silent for a while and said: "Originally, there were people who went to the official mansion, but Chang Ruchun's sister was the favorite concubine of the prefect, Chang Ruchun didn't have anything to do until the end, and the person who reported to the official was beaten half to death, and after a long time, no one dared to report to the official anymore, so he had to consider himself unlucky." ”

Ding Si opened his mouth, wanted to say something but didn't say anything, arched his hand to Zhang Long, and turned around and left the jade shop with Hu Runze.
