The fat shopkeeper was greeting guests at the front desk, and when he heard this, his face changed greatly and he rushed to the backyard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yang Tashan and Xing'er also threw down their chopsticks and ran to see the excitement. I saw a fat man in the back room shouting in the yard, and the fat shopkeeper asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The fat man in the yard is the cousin of the fat shopkeeper, and he has come to help him take care of the accounts. The fat tent pushed open the tent door and said, "Big brother, I came to the tent just now to reconcile, and the door was locked well, but as soon as I opened the door, I saw that the tent had been stolen!" You see, the back window is open, the room is turned into a mess, the money cabinet is also pried open, and the money inside is gone! ”

The fat shopkeeper rushed over to take a look like a thunderbolt in mid-air, and sure enough, the cash cabinet was empty, and only a few copper coins were lying there pitifully.

The fat shopkeeper was so angry and anxious that he almost passed out. There were more than ten taels of silver in this money cabinet alone, and more than two thousand copper coins.

The fat shopkeeper turned around and stared at Yang Tashan viciously.

Yang Tashan smiled: "Shopkeeper, you don't suspect that you stole your money, right?" ”

"It's just you in the backyard, not who are you?"

Xing'er hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper, you can't wronged us, we have been chopping firewood in the backyard, and we have never been to your tent at all."

The fat shopkeeper sneered: "Isn't it you, who else?" I'll just say, how can there be such a stupid person, such a heavy job, people don't want to work for four dollars for two days, you work for thirty dollars for one day, and you agree without saying a word, it turns out that you have ulterior motives! - Quick, go to the yamen to report the case, and say that the thief has been caught! Please catch it! ”

Xing'er was so anxious that her eyes were red: "You are talking nonsense!" You wronged us, we didn't steal your money! ”

Yang Tashan gently patted Xing'er's shoulder, let her calm down for a while, clasped his hands on his shoulders, and sneered at the fat shopkeeper: "If you are reluctant to pay us thirty literary wages, just say bluntly, there is no need to make such a big move, do you know, please catch it quickly, it is easy, if you don't spend some money, I'm afraid you won't be able to send them away, this money, you can't handle the thirty wen!" ”

"What? Is it a thief with a weak heart? Hey. Guys, keep an eye on the guys, watch out for them running away! The fat shopkeeper commanded loudly.

A group of men armed with kitchen knives, benches and even wooden sticks surrounded Yang Tashan and the two. However, when I saw Yang Tashan making the two catchers suffer a loss, and one person carried the coffin containing the corpse, they all knew that this young man was extraordinary, but he didn't dare to come forward around him. Fortunately, Yang Tashan only sneered and clasped his shoulders with his hands, and had no intention of breaking through and escaping.

After a stalemate for a while, I heard someone shouting in the front store, "Where are the thieves?" Grandma's, stealing money! Don't want to live anymore? "Just listen to the voice, you know that it was the thin monkey who caught it yesterday.

Immediately, the two catchers opened the curtain and came to the backyard, and sure enough, it was the two catchers from yesterday. It's just that this time, the two of them are holding waist knives in one hand and chains in the other hand preparing to lock people.

The fat shopkeeper said with a smiling face: "It's these two people who stole my money!" ”

When the two catchers saw that it was Yang Tashan, they couldn't help but shiver. Both of them had suffered losses under Yang Tashan, and they knew that with the two of them, they couldn't deal with this young man, so they cried out in their hearts, they knew that it was this master, and they should bring more people to come again.

However, at this time, it would be too embarrassing to run back to call someone, so I could only bite the bullet, and the thin monkey caught quickly: "Is it ...... you?" You guys...... What's your name? What for? ”

"Under the surname Yang, the name is Tashan, this is my maid Xing'er. We are part-time laborers. ”

The thin monkey hesitated for a moment, then stubbornly asked, "You stole ...... Stealing the shopkeeper's money? ”

Xing'er saw that she was carrying a knife and holding a chain, and her face turned white with fright, and when she heard this, she rushed to argue: "Wronged! Official, my young master and I have been chopping firewood in the backyard firewood shed, and we have never been to their tent at all, we didn't steal it! Wronged! ”

This catcher likes to listen to people shouting grievances, firstly, he has a sense of accomplishment, and secondly, since the other party is crying grievances, he will be soft first. Then you can knead it yourself. Rabbit Tooth caught a sneer: "Wronged? ...... the fuck you guys" Seeing Yang Tashan's cold gaze, he was suddenly startled, took a step back, and swallowed the words behind him.

The thin monkey knew that he couldn't move roughly, so he smiled reluctantly and said to Yang Tashan: "This ...... What's going on here? ”

Yang Tashan turned his head to the fat shopkeeper and said, "Since you really invited the catcher, it means that you really lost your money, and you didn't deliberately use this method to rely on my salary." I can understand your feelings, the money really wasn't stolen by us. ”

"Who are you not?" The fat shopkeeper shouted. After all, more than ten taels of silver, that is more than 10,000 yuan, for his small restaurant, it is indeed a lot of money, and it is still very distressing to be stolen.

Yang Tashan pointed to the yard on the other side of the wall, turned his head to the thin monkey and said: "My Yahuan Xing'er and I work for them for a short time, and today we are chopping firewood in the backyard firewood shed all day, and the money is in the tent room here, there is a wall apart, and there is no door between these two parts of the backyard." To enter the courtyard of the tent room, you have to go around the shop in front of you to get in......"

The fat shopkeeper said, "Won't you go over the wall?" Your martial arts skills are so high, you can go in casually over the wall! ”

"Hehe, since you know that I am a good martial artist, then I stole your money, why don't you slip away? Do you want to wait here honestly so that you can go to the account office to get the money and find out the theft, and call the arrest to come and arrest us? Is there such a stupid thief? ”

The fat shopkeeper was speechless for a while, thought about it, and suddenly seemed to find a good reason, and said: "Of course you don't dare to run, you don't want to run away without any wages, doesn't it mean that you are a thief, let us know immediately that you stole the money?" ”

"Haha, interesting, I just don't run, isn't it suspected by you? What does it make if you don't run?

"Of course there is a difference! If you want to get through the tricks, you can continue to steal things in Qingyang Mansion, not to mention, you still want to take the thirty literary wages! ”

The two of them listened to Yang Tashan reasonably, nodded, and listened to the fat shopkeeper reasonablely for a while, and nodded, and in the end, both of them were a little confused.

Yang Tashan was too lazy to fight with the fat shopkeeper, and said: "I have witnesses to prove that I didn't steal!" ”

When the thin monkey heard this, he became interested and asked, "Who can testify for you?" ”

Yang Tashan pointed to the group of cooks who surrounded him with kitchen knives: "They can testify that the firewood shed where we chop firewood is just a few steps behind the kitchen, and it is very hot, so the windows of the kitchen are open all day, I can see the masters inside cooking, they should also be able to see us, or they can hear the sound of us chopping firewood, I have not stopped in the middle of chopping firewood, and I finished chopping firewood in one go." ”

The fat shopkeeper was dumbfounded, glared at a few cooks and said, "Can you prove it?" ”

Several cooks looked at each other, a little hesitant.

Yang Tashan guessed their thoughts and smiled faintly: "A few masters, what your shopkeeper hopes most is to catch the real thief and get the lost silver back, instead of just catching an innocent person to fill the number!" ”

Yang Tashan's words hit the crux of the problem, and also spoke to the heart of the fat shopkeeper. As for the responsibility of the thief, that is the second issue, and even sometimes as long as the lost thing can be recovered, it does not matter if the thief is not held responsible.

The fat shopkeeper nodded and said to a few cooks: "That's right, you tell the truth, did the two of them leave the backyard firewood shed?" ”

Several cooks glanced at each other, shook their heads together, and said, "No, the two of them have indeed never left." ”

When Apricot heard this, she was very happy and thanked several cooks for being willing to tell the truth.

The fat shopkeeper was disappointed and said urgently: "You guys are stir-frying, how do you know?" ”

A young cook said, "It's so hot, the kitchen window is always open to let in the air, and they are in the back window yard, we can't look at it without looking at it." ”

The other cook said, "Yes, we are still talking about this kid...... Ahem...... This guest officer is stupid, he spent more than four taels of silver to buy a thin yellow-haired girl, and he has to live in mourning for three years, and he can't even touch it, which is really a big loss......"

When Xing'er heard this, her emaciated face turned red, she bit her lip lightly, and secretly glanced at Yang Tashan.

Another cook said: "We have been admiring this guest officer's strength is really not small, and the stamina is long, from morning to afternoon, except for a meal halfway, he has never rested, and has been chopping, but this little girl who helps with firewood is too tired to do it." ”

The fat shopkeeper seemed to have discovered something, and pointed at Yang Tashan and shouted, "That's right! You went out for a meal at noon, you must have used the excuse to go out, and then sneaked back to the backyard, pried open the backyard window, and stole my silver taels! ”

Yang Tashan couldn't laugh or cry: "I'm going to rent a house, if you don't believe it, you can call the landlord, I'll be there for a meal." Besides, the back of your backyard is full of people, can I enter through the house during the day? Or cornices and walls? Shopkeeper, I sympathize with you for losing your money, but you can't frame others, if you frame a rich person, maybe you can get a little back, you have a fart to frame me! If I were rich, I wouldn't have tossed you thirty dollars for a day to chop firewood! ”

The two catchers listened to Yang Tashan's words, felt that it was very reasonable, nodded, and thought to themselves that this thief really didn't look like this young man, since it wasn't him, then there was no need to conflict with him, this young man couldn't be provoked, so it was better to get out of the way.

The thin monkey quickly said to the fat shopkeeper: "You don't have any real evidence, and you really can't doubt it." Besides, people are willing to spend more than four taels of silver to buy such a waste yellow-haired girl, it can be seen that she is a righteous person, how can she covet your more than ten taels of silver! ”

When Xing'er heard this, she was ashamed and grateful, and peeked at Yang Tashan, only to see that he was still smiling and looking at the two catchers.

When the fat shopkeeper heard the thin monkey's words, he stomped his feet in despair and said, "Oh my God~!" O my money! Who stole my money with a thousand knives! ”

The thin monkey caught quickly: "Okay, take us to the scene of the theft to see if there are any clues to the thief." ”
