The Newcomer Chapter 6 Pearl's Trouble
Lei Heng and Xiao Di entered the store aimlessly, wandering around at will.
Unknowingly, he walked into a jade shop, Lei Heng walked in, and saw that Fang Cai's brother and sister were also standing inside. Seeing someone coming in, the girl also looked back at the two of them, and it was inconvenient for Lei Heng to quit this time, otherwise he would inevitably be ridiculed for being timid and afraid.
The girl turned her head and saw that it was Lei Heng, she couldn't help but smile, and turned back to weigh a piece of white jade on the case.
Lei Heng didn't know about jade, but it was inconvenient to see people turn around and leave, so he pretended to pick up a piece of peiyu and looked at it, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the girl quietly.
The girl was looking down at the jade, and the white jade was indeed a fine jade, crystal clear, white and flawless, and the girl's eyes showed a look of surprise.
"Good jade, boss, how much is this jade?" The boss in his sixties said with a sneer on his face, "Miss has good eyesight, this piece of jade is a pre-Qin thing, if you like it, give thirty gold and take it." ”
The girl opened her mouth in surprise and said, "Thirty gold? Although this piece of jade is good, thirty gold is still a bit expensive, I think ...... It's worth 10 gold. ”
The boss smashed his mouth that had almost fallen out of his teeth and said, "Miss, look at the texture of this jade, as well as this workmanship, you get what you pay for, such a high-grade jade, it is not much to ask you for thirty gold." ”
The girl laughed silently, a shallow smile on her cheeks, which looked extremely moving, her red lips were slightly open, and her teeth were like arcs, and that kind of beauty was Lei Heng, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but be moved, and the girl turned her head to look at him, obviously knowing that he was peeking at herself, but there was no displeasure in her expression.
The girl turned her head and said to the boss: "Boss, I sincerely want to buy your jade, except for me, no one else in Linjiang County is willing to spend so much money to buy this jade." In this way, fifteen gold, if you want, I will do your business. ”
The white-haired old man smacked his mouth again, nodded and said, "Okay, the goods are sold to the family, since the young lady said so, then this jade old man will sell it to you." ”
The girl smiled slightly, reached into her arms and took out a purse, poured out a bead from it, put it in the palm of her white and tender little hand, held it in front of the boss and said: "Okay, there is a good pearl here, even if it is put in a small place, it is worth twenty gold, I exchange this bead for your jade, and it is not a loss to you." ”
The gold of this era is calculated by the catty, it is really a catty of gold weighs a catty (Han catty, 1 Han catty is about half a catty in modern times), bulky and inconvenient to carry, so the way of bartering is still very popular among the people, so the behavior of the girl is not strange.
The old man took the beads, squinted his eyes and looked at the sun, it was indeed a good pearl, this girl exchanged such a good bead for his jade, this business is indeed not a loss.
But...... The old man greedily looked at the pearl again, and secretly calculated: Seeing that the New Year is approaching, this bead has to find a way to sell it when it arrives, the brother and sister don't recognize it, they are definitely not locals, maybe they are passing by here, if they ignore her pearl in vain, their family's life for the rest of their lives will be guaranteed.
Thinking of this, the old man was greedy, and with a bend of his fingers, he slid the bead into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Miss, I only need gold to trade this jade, if you really want to buy it, take the gold." ”
When the girl heard this, her lips pursed, thinking that the gold on her body was not enough for these amounts, she paused and said, "You boss, you obviously want to give you a cheap deal, and you have to push it back, it's okay, I won't buy it." ”
The old man blinked slyly, made a stunned expression and said, "Beads? What beads? You came to my shop to buy something, and you didn't come to sell anything, how have I ever seen any beads from you? ”
"What?" The girl's face turned red, and she slapped the counter angrily and said angrily, "Why are you so unreasonable? Want to rely on my beads? ”
When her brother heard this, he was furious, grabbed the thin old man, and forcibly lifted him out of the counter, and scolded angrily: "Fuck, you dare to rely on my sister's things, are you easy to bully when I am Yan Jie?" Old dog, return the beads. ”
The boss immediately opened his throat and howled: "Robbers, beating people, the neighbors have come to see it, my old Zhang Tou has always been a fair trade in business, Tong Su is not bullied, outsiders have come to bully people." ”
He saw that Lei Heng was dressed up as a local, at that time, people's local concept was extremely heavy, and the typical help relatives did not help, thinking about this shouting neighbors all came to him, plus this local testified, the outsiders could only eat a dumb and leave with hatred, it was really unfortunate that they still had two sons, are they still afraid of their foreigners?
The young man who called himself Yan Jie was even more furious, he raised his hand angrily to beat, and scolded in his mouth: "Treacherous old dog, it's really too deceitful!" ”
At this time, the curtain was lifted behind, and a strong man in his early forties with a beard rushed out, and when he saw this situation, he roared, punched him violently, and said viciously: "Let go of my father, where did the little rabbit cub come from, and he bullied me to the door of Zhang's house." ”
This strong man seems to have a lot of strength, this punch is very powerful, Yan Jie smiled contemptuously when he saw it, his arm was raised, the old man was thrown away by him, his body stood there and did not move, only stretched out one hand, "snapped" and grasped the strong man's fist, the five fingers closed and slowly tightened, the strong man screamed in pain, he choked his wrist, and knelt down in pain.
Yan Jie sneered: "Do you want to pretend to be a thief who blocks the road and robs?" Is this the only thing that has the strength? ”
The old man was slapped twice by him by the collar, this one was thrown away, he pointed at Yan Jie and shouted harder, just screamed twice, suddenly his face turned red, he gasped a few times, and his body shrank to the ground and lost his breath.
Yan Jie grabbed the strong man's wrist and was about to play majestic, the neighbors and neighbors on the left and right storefronts had already heard the sound and surrounded him, and someone helped the old man up, and suddenly shouted: "Zhang Er, come and see your father, the old man is not good."
Yan Jie turned his head to look, only to see that the shopkeeper who was interested in making money had a pale face, and he was softly held in his arms motionless, and he couldn't help but be taken aback, and his hand couldn't help but let go.
The strong man named Zhang Er hurriedly grabbed Lao Tzu and probed his nose, but he had no breath, and he couldn't help but wail immediately, and said with tears and snot: "Dad, pity you for your great age, you were beaten to death by thieves, Dad, ......"
At this time, a man of the same age jumped out of the back door, and a group of women and children followed behind, and it seemed that all the people of the Zhang family ran out when they heard the sound.
Yan Jie originally thought that this family was going to pretend to be dead and deceitful, so he just sneered and said nothing, but when he saw their family surrounding their father and grandfather crying and screaming, his face couldn't help but change color, and his heart became timid. He quietly pulled his sister's sleeve, glanced at her, grabbed her wrist and was about to go out, where are the people of the Zhang family willing to put it, hulala surrounded a gang of pushing, pushing and shoving, in the chaos, someone went outside to call two yacha who patrolled the street, I heard that it was a big case of killing people, and the two yacha did not dare to slack off, followed the neighbors, broke into the store and shouted: "Where is the murderer?" ”
Yan Jie saw that the official was coming, and he didn't have the courage to kill the official and rebel, so he didn't dare to make it again, and the son of the jade shop owner pointed at him and said, "It's him, it's this thief who killed my father."
Yan Jie said a little angrily: "I don't, this boss is old, I have exposed my family's beads, and I have fainted in shame and anger, and I have died of anger and blood, what does it have to do with me?" ”
How can a murderer say that if you don't kill someone, you will release them? The two officials paid no attention to what he shouted, and one of them tore a thin iron chain from his back waist, and put it on his head with a clatter, tying him up firmly, and the other held a waist knife, and if he dared to resist, he would be stabbed in the head.
After tying up Yan Jie, the Yacha pulled the chain and shouted: "I have something to say to the county, go!" I said Lao Zhang's family, don't cry, take your father to the yamen and say, all the neighbors please go together to testify. ”
The girl was so anxious that tears rolled in her eyes, and seeing that her brother was about to be tied up, she hurriedly stretched out her hand and pointed at Lei Heng, who had been silent and watching coldly, and said: "My brother did not kill anyone, this person has been present, he can testify." ”
Lei Heng has been watching it on the side, although this Yan Jie is young and vigorous, but that old guy is ignorant of people and property, and he can really be regarded as an old thief. Looking at his situation, it is estimated that he has some problems such as cerebral hemorrhage and heart disease, and he was beaten and scolded by Yan Jie, angry and anxious, and emotional, but in order to ignore a pearl, he took his life.
When the yacha who pressed the knife heard this, he had already half walked out of the store door, and came back stiffly, and said with a smile: "In this case, please also go back with us to testify." ”
Seeing that the beautiful girl was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and her face was full of pleading, Lei Heng's heart softened, so he nodded. The group came to the county yamen, Zhang Er went up to beat the drum and voice the grievances, and Lei Su hurriedly put on the official robe and went to the court to ask about the case.
"Smack-" Lei Su slapped the shocked wood, "Who is kneeling, what grievances are there to come quickly......"
"The villain Zhang Er is the youngest son of the deceased old man Zhang. This thief killed my father, please ask the county lord to uphold justice for the Zhang family......"
Lei Su nodded, signaling that he understood. He turned his head and scolded Yan Jie: "The name of the prisoner, his place of origin, whether there is such a thing." ”
Of course, Yan Jie would not admit it, and defended: "Bajun Yan Jie, he has never dealt a heavy blow to Boss Zhang, and there is a scholar to testify." ”
Lei Su asked again, "Where is the scholar?" ”
Lei Heng reluctantly stood up and whispered, "I've seen Lord County!" ”
"Heng...... Very...... Very good! Lei Su recognized this as Lei Heng at a glance, and quickly changed his words to deal with it first.
Lei Heng said what he had seen and heard in the court, and confirmed that Yan Jie had indeed never dealt a heavy blow to Boss Zhang, and the old and young of the Zhang family knelt there crying and crying about how good his Lao Tzu usually was, it must have been Yan Jie who committed murder, and the scene was noisy and chaotic for a while.
Lei Heng hurriedly hinted that there was something else in this, Lei Su flicked his sleeves and said loudly: "Yan Jie will be temporarily detained, and the body will be guarded by Yan Jie." The rest of the cadres will go back first, and the case will be finalized after the official inspection. ”
"An dares to do this to me, I am the ...... of the Yan family" When Yan Jie heard that he was going to be imprisoned and convicted, he immediately struggled to resist, and after being rectified by the officials, he had to be honestly detained.
The girl was so anxious that she was about to pounce to stop her, Lei Heng quickly grabbed her arm and whispered: "Miss, don't be impatient, there will be a plan later." ”
The girl was shocked and unaware of her kung fu, Yan Jie had already been escorted down to the court, so she had to follow Lei Heng's advice.
