Chapter 148: Blackmail
The peddler's tone was low and his voice was low, but Xiao Mu sounded like a bolt from the blue. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"What? The man who used violence and beat people like crazy turned out to be a good person, and the one who was lying on the ground and being beaten was the real bad guy! The hawker's answer simply subverted Xiao Mu's original perception of the good and bad of people, but the hawker seemed to be quite sane, not confused, not like he was telling a lie or a backword, since this is the case, then there must be a hidden meaning in this, Xiao Mu also felt that his original speculation was probably really misunderstood.
"Childe, here's the thing......" Before Xiao Mu could ask, the vendor continued to narrate, solving the mystery in Xiao Mu's heart.
It turned out that Xiao Mu's previous speculation was almost completely wrong, and only one thing was correct, that is, the ten taels of silver he rewarded the hawker did attract the gangsters who wanted to see the money, but the gangster was not the man who was beating people at this time, but the one who was lying on the ground and being beaten at this time. Obviously, the big man who is still committing violence is the real righteous man who acts bravely.
According to the peddler, he received Xiao Mu's bounty, and he was happy in his heart, thinking about the matter of marrying his son's daughter-in-law in the future, a guest came, saying that he wanted to come and try a few pieces of tofu, but the vendor didn't think much about it, and picked a few pieces of stinky tofu that had just been fried out and the best looking and handed them to the other party.
But who would have thought that after the other party ate it, instead of giving money, he spit it out, and scolded and said in his mouth, "You profiteer, how is the tofu you sell smelly, this is clearly something to feed pigs, dare to give it to Uncle Ben to eat, are you impatient?" ”
"This lord, what I sell here is stinky tofu, our tofu smells stinky, it tastes fragrant, the more you eat, the more you eat, the more it tastes, this is a craft handed down from your ancestors, how can it be fed to pigs, don't you believe that you can try another piece?" The vendor thought he had met an unreasonable customer, so he explained with a smile.
"What ancestral craft, how come I've never heard of something that smells bad and smells good when you eat it? Uncle, the I pulled is stinky, can you take a bite and taste it? I see that you are clearly shoddy and fooling me! The man completely ignored the hawker's explanation, and what he said became even more unpleasant, not only that, but he also tofu and condiments were scattered all over the ground.
"That scoundrel is the one who is being beaten now?" Xiao Mu asked a little broken, what is all this?
"Exactly, after the stall was lifted by that person, I realized that he was a scoundrel who had nothing to do at all, and he didn't come to eat tofu at all." The peddler gave Xiao Mu an affirmative answer, "Then the man said that he had a stomachache and must have eaten my tofu and eaten it badly, and asked me to pay him the silver, so he could go to the pharmacy to get the medicine." ”
"He asked you how much silver you wanted?" Xiao Mu asked again.
"The scoundrel said that if he eats something bad, he should use precious medicinal materials, mountain ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, bird's nest and the like to make up for it, and asked me to compensate him for ten taels of silver." The peddler replied.
The matter is already very obvious, this is clearly Xiao Mu rewarded the hawker with a huge sum of ten taels of silver, and was unintentionally seen by the scoundrel, so he changed his method to extort the silver that the hawker just got, and his series of behaviors are textbook-like, typical blackmail.
In this way, Xiao Mu seemed to feel that he had harmed this peddler, and if he hadn't given him so much silver, he wouldn't have encountered such a disaster. Of course, such an idea is only a fleeting thought, and the real problem lies in the scoundrel who blackmails people's money, and the money he gives to the hawker is naturally not used to make people extort at will.
"And what's going on with this man?" Xiao Mu pointed to the man who was beating people there and asked, as for the life or death of the scoundrel who was beaten, Xiao Mu didn't bother to care.
"That scoundrel insisted that I pay him ten taels of silver, and of course I would not. When he saw that I didn't give me money, he was going to beat me, but thanks to this good man's timely rescue, he directly gave the scoundrel a good beating when he fell to the ground. At the mention of the beater, the peddler replied with a clear tone of gratitude.
The context of the whole thing is already very clear, or this matter is not complicated in the first place, except for one point, that is, the reason for Xiao Mu's misunderstanding at the beginning has not yet been figured out.
Xiao Mu couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, and asked the vendor, "In that case, why did you kneel down to that good man and beg for mercy again?" He's angry for you and helping you out, why are you pleading for that scoundrel instead? ”
In fact, it was precisely for this reason that Xiao Mu saw the picture of the hawker kneeling on the ground and pleading for mercy at first sight, so he judged that the beaten scoundrel was with the hawker, and the righteous and brave man was regarded as a bad guy by Xiao Mu.
"This son, you are from a rich and noble family, of course you don't know the difficulties of our little people. If that hero really kills people, the villain and him will definitely not be able to escape from it, and I am afraid that he will have to suffer a lawsuit at that time, where is the official government to be reasonable? All the yamen in the world are easy to enter and not easy to get out, tossing a bankrupt family, and being able to come out with all arms and legs, it can be regarded as the creation of cultivation in the previous life. ”
When the peddler said this, he realized the seriousness of the matter, so he no longer paid attention to Xiao Mu, and continued to plead and say to the man, with a cry in his voice: "Don't fight again, if someone dies, you and I will have to eat a lawsuit......
The man finally stopped beating, but it was not because he followed the advice of the hawker, but because he was pulled away, in fact, he still had words in his mouth when he was pulled away, "Why are you pulling me, this scoundrel is clearly underbeaten, and if you don't beat him thoroughly, he will definitely not be able to change his eating in the future!" ”
Of course, it must be someone else who can pull such a strong man, Xiao Mu found out that the brocade guards he brought had been pulled away by Lin Yi under the command of Lin Yi, even if it was a well-trained brocade guard, it was three or four people who went into battle together, each pulling a different part of the man, and then reluctantly pulled him away, leaving a scoundrel lying on the ground like a corpse.
Obviously, the brocade guards were all brought by themselves, but they ended up making a wedding dress for Lin Yi, Xiao Mu's mood was extremely depressed, but there was no way, who let himself completely understand the direction of things from the beginning......
The scene was finally controlled, and the crowd watching the excitement was also crowded, and then this crowd was divided into two halves from the middle, and it turned out that the head catcher of the government came in from the middle.
