Chapter 52: Proving Innocence
In the outer hall of Zhu's pharmacy, there were no outsiders when Li Hongru entered.
The staff of this pharmacy were locked away by the inspection department, and then locked the outer door of the pharmacy, Li Hongru did not expect that someone would get in silently.
There are many bigwigs searching in the inner room, and Li Hongru is the first to go to the outer hall.
He was also the first to suffer.
It's just that in an instant, the others have been subdued.
There is a high probability that he was also regarded as a thief.
Li Hongru just wanted to mumble and explain, after all, he still took the name of Dali Temple at this time, and he had the identity of the owner, so the search was a matter of course.
But then he heard a reprimand from behind the curtain.
"Bold!"
The curtain was lifted, and Pei Shao had already stretched out one hand.
Li Hongru just looked around, and felt that it was difficult to breathe in his nostrils.
In just an instant, he sensed that the iron claws holding his body were loosened, and he reached out to meet Pei Shao's outstretched palm.
"Bang!"
The sound of collision and interlacing sounded.
The woman snorted slightly, her body shook, and Pei Shao's body took a step back.
"Who are you who dare to stop the investigation of Dali Temple?"
Pei Shao took a step back and shouted, and his official tone was suddenly thrown out.
His eyes were sharp, staring at the woman opposite.
Although he was afraid of the reason for Li Hongru's injury, Fang Cai's fight was undoubtedly a slight loss for him.
If both parties use equipment, it will be difficult to use their hands and feet in this pharmacy.
He scolded angrily, stopping the woman in her tracks.
"What happened to my second uncle?"
She asked eagerly, and then looked at the blocked doors and windows, only to feel that something was wrong at this time.
"Your second uncle?" Pei Shao asked.
"My name is Zhu Qingtong, and my second uncle Zhu Zhanpeng is the shopkeeper of this pharmacy."
"It turns out that you are Zhu Qingtong, one of the eighteen swords of Chang'an."
Pei Shao nodded, knowing the identity of the person who came.
This is a young martial arts genius in Chang'an, and I don't know who has the heart to push some names out.
Pei Shao also vaguely heard of this kind of name, but he didn't remember which code name Zhu Qingtong was among the eighteen swords.
"The lord praised it falsely" Zhu Qingtong raised his hand and saluted back: "I hope that the lord will forgive me for my rude behavior just now, I don't know ...... my second uncle"
When she spoke again, Zhu Zhanpeng behind the door had already hurried over.
Seeing that Zhu Zhanpeng was safe, I wish Qingtong to be relieved.
"Qingtong must not be rude, this is Master Pei Shao of Dali Temple, we have a theft incident here, you should exit the pharmacy first, and only come in after the matter is over."
Zhu Zhanpeng spoke softly and made arrangements.
This made Zhu Qingtong suddenly clear about the matter, she nodded, and responded continuously.
"Wait!"
Zhu Qingtong was about to quit the pharmacy when he suddenly heard a shout from someone next to him.
She looked over, but she could see the young man who had been restrained by her before.
Although this young man's clothes are new and neat, he is not wearing the official uniform of Dali Temple, which is also the reason why Zhu Qingtong started immediately when he met.
Under the concept of mistaking the concept of trespassing into private houses, it is natural to make a move.
If it was the one who was out of proportion, it was likely that he would have been dealt with directly, and the young man would have to lie on the ground and wail.
"You want me to apologize?" Zhu Qingtong asked rhetorically.
When she asked, she saw several more people coming out from behind the curtain.
Although they were dressed in ordinary attire, these people were all extraordinary, and at first glance they were the ones in high positions.
Among the last to come out, there were people she was more familiar with.
It was a student of Zhu's Sword Hall, Li Dan.
Her brow furrowed slightly.
can be known as one of the eighteen swords of Chang'an, she is naturally arrogant.
It is appropriate to apologize to Pei Shao.
But for Li Hongru, it also made her a little unable to wipe off her face.
In Zhu Qingtong's concept, at least she should apologize to Pei Shao and write off this matter.
But as everyone rushed in, many big names came out in unison, and her rhetorical tone suddenly lowered.
"I just acted too hastily, I apologize to you, if you need compensation for the injury, please contact me later."
This young man is probably related to these high-ranking people.
You can be presumptuous in Chang'an City, but when you are presumptuous, you need to have a pair of eyes to know which people can be offended and which people cannot be offended.
didn't figure out the details of Li Hongru, and Zhu Qingtong didn't want to be preconceived.
She apologized bluntly.
But then Li Hongru shook his head.
"I want to see a piece of hiding around your waist!"
He glanced at Zhu Qingtong, and then put his eyes on the other party's chest and abdomen, which made Zhu Qingtong can't help but scold.
"How?" Wang Fuchou said strangely.
"When I was just subdued by this girl, I felt something, and I only felt a little like I had met an old friend."
Li Hongru's speech was vague, making Wang Fuchou difficult to distinguish for a while.
He didn't know if the old friend Li Hongru said was Zhu Qingtong, or if Li Hongru was interested in what Zhu Qingtong was doing.
But it was a hassle to search for what a girl was carrying on her body outside the case.
If there was no charge, even Pei Shao would not have been able to do such an act to wantonly search a woman who had just entered the pharmacy.
His gaze swept from Li Hongru and fell on Zhu Qingtong again.
Although he and Li Hongru did not meet much at this time, Wang Fuchou knew quite well that Li Hongru was not a person who asked for trouble.
It's probably what was discovered, and it's not certain.
And at this point, the ...... associated with it
Wang Fuchou smiled, and he spoke gently.
"I had a few encounters with Captain Zhu, and I accidentally left some items in the pharmacy."
"Are you suspicious of me?"
Zhu Qingtong frowned.
Wang Fuchou said it politely, but his words were reminiscent.
Especially before Li Hongru had a direct point.
"I'm just hoping that the girl will solve her doubts" Zhu Yuanshi stepped forward and said: "Although this is where your second uncle operates, it is also the key case area of Dali Temple's search at this time. ”
Zhu Yuanshi interjected, but between his words, he quietly implicated Zhu Qingtong in this case.
"Yes, yes, if you prove your innocence at this time, you should leave as soon as possible, so as not to be contaminated with right and wrong" Liu Renjing also added with a smile.
As soon as the other two were about to speak, they saw Zhu Qingtong untying the belt around his waist, and immediately stopped his mouth.
At this time, it was rare to have pockets on the left and right sides of the garment.
Most of the literati's collections were made of the two cuffs of their clothes, and the pockets sewn inside the cuffs could be used to store letters and money.
Some people who wear tight-fitting clothing need to use the belt to complete storage, or hide in the belt, or use the belt's binding ability to place some objects in their arms.
There are also women who like to hang a small purse on their belt to place bits and pieces.
At this time, it was said one after another, and Zhu Qingtong was not incomprehensible.
She glared at Li Hongru fiercely, and with a face full of anger, she acted simply, that is, the sword was placed on the ground.
Some of the women's fat powder, broken silver, and copper coins were taken out one after another.
In Zhu Qingtong's arms, there is also a volume of notes that record the practice.
She took out her purse and opened it, and when she opened it, several eyes suddenly lit up.
In the purse, in addition to a few pieces of broken gold, there was also a piece of jade mixed in.
Nayu, which has the same shape as the fake.
