Chapter 138: Arrest the Thief Saint
Niu Fugui has been hit by bad luck recently, first the mine that has been working day and night has been looted by bandits, and there were thieves in the house last night. The people in the rivers and lakes are called robbing the rich and helping the poor, stealing jade and stealing incense, stealing a lot of antiques and cultural toys in Niufu, and even distributing all these valuable things to the poor courtyard.
What's even more surprising is that early in the morning, in the crack of the door of Niufufu's house, the scandal of Niu Fugui's second young grandmother and her subordinates committing adultery was revealed, which was too exciting and exciting! The people secretly clapped their hands and applauded, and these villagers, who had been oppressed for many years, wished that the cattle would die of wealth.
"You're a thief?" In the early morning sun, in the quiet courtyard, Dugu Aoxue looked at Ye Sheng, who had put on the human skin mask again, and was very curious, "I once heard about your ransacking of Chen Jinshan's mansion in Longgang, but I didn't expect the legendary person to be right in front of me!" Ye Sheng was holding the money stub he had stolen from Niu Fugui last night in his arms, and smiled beautifully, "What, isn't my light skill enough to be a thief?" ”
"It's quite like." Dugu Aoxue nodded calmly, "They are all stealing chickens and dogs, but you are much more interesting than those guys to do." To tell you the truth, how much treasure did you keep for yourself, and how much money did you give to the civilians? Ye Sheng frowned and was displeased, "When I was chivalrous and righteous, robbing the rich and helping the poor, how could I have the heart to calculate this!" Of course, the more you send out, the better! ”
"That looks like swallowing ninety percent of the stolen goods alone." Dugu Aoxue nodded happily, "You deserve to be a guy who picks the door." "Nonsense!" Ye Sheng took the case, "I was really selfish in the past, but now I am not what I used to be!" Last night, I left only seventy percent, and the rest was distributed to the poor! ”
"What is Liu Shaoxia talking about!" The smiling county magistrate Ma bent down and walked into the courtyard, "I lowered the taxes up and down Longgang, and the people received Liu Shaoxia's generosity last night, and now they are all gathered in front of the door to thank me!" No, just sent them home! ”
County Magistrate Ma put the gift he was carrying on the stone table and said, "It feels good to regain the image of your parents and be loved by the people!" Oh yes, Dugu City Lord, this is a gift from the villagers! Ye Sheng looked down, there were eggs, pork and lamb chops, Ye Sheng, who hadn't eaten breakfast yet, unconsciously touched his stomach and was a little annoyed, "Why didn't you give me a gift?" ”
Dugu Aoxue glanced at him with slanted eyes, pushed the mountain of gifts, and said, "Pick a few and take them." Ye Sheng's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fists and smiled, "I want them all!" Ye Sheng instructed Chen San to move all the gifts to the kitchen, then sat back on the stone bench and asked curiously, "There were no assassins last night?" ”
"Nope." Dugu Aoxue didn't sleep peacefully last night, after all, after knowing that someone wanted to take her life anytime and anywhere, how could she sleep peacefully, "However, sooner or later!" In order to avoid harming the pond fish, we must solve the pest Niu Fugui as soon as possible, and then leave Longgang early! ”
"Haven't we been working on it!" Ye Sheng pouted, "First cut off Niu Fugui's gold mountain, and then hollowed out Niu Fugui, just a few days later, Niu Fugui, who has no arrogant capital, will definitely pick up his tail and be a low-key person!" "This, let the lower official interject." County Magistrate Ma smiled, stretched out his head and said, "There are indeed a lot of antique toys that Liu Shaoxia scattered last night, but it is not silver for nothing, and in fact, it has no impact on Niu Fugui!" ”
"If I say yes, then there is, don't quibble." Ye Sheng smiled confidently, "County Magistrate Ma, please wait and see!" The county magistrate Ma was puzzled and was about to ask a question, when a servant trotted in and said, "My lord, someone ...... Someone beat the drum and beat it away. Magistrate Ma was surprised, "Oh? Longgang, a chaotic city, has not had a case for many years! The villagers don't dare, the people of the rivers and lakes disdain, I encountered such an interesting thing today! ”
County Magistrate Ma hurriedly said goodbye and left in a hurry, Dugu Aoxue looked at Ye Sheng at this time and asked, "What did you steal from Niu Fugui and hide it?" "What's your business!" Ye Sheng stared at Dugu Aoxue vigilantly, this money stub is his lifeline, and he must not show it to Dugu Aoxue! "It was Niu Fugui before last night, and now it's mine!"
"Scrooge!" Dugu Aoxue disdainful, got up and waved away, Ye Sheng sat here lazily, and asked, "Hey, a little thing, it won't be a long way to go!" "I'll go to the yamen to see who beats the drum and what grievances there are!" Hearing Dugu Aoxue say this, Ye Sheng's eyes lit up, and he followed with an apple. Such an interesting thing naturally has to be intervened!
The drum of injustice outside the door of the six doors has not been sounded for many years, not because there is no injustice, but because the villagers are afraid of majesty and dare not speak out. Now, the person who beat the drum has been brought into the public court, and the outside of the government is crowded with people watching the excitement. The county magistrate Ma also sat on the Taishi chair, and the table was arranged with the quiver and the four treasures of the study, and the county magistrate Ma picked up the shocking wood, and saw the person standing under the stage to avenge the grievances, the raised arm stiffly and gently put it down, "Old Niu...... Ahem, it's Niu Fugui who lies down and stands? ”
Once upon a time, no one dared to call themselves by their first name? Niu Fugui, who walks sideways in Longgang, is called the cow master when he meets people, and no matter how bad it is, he is also the cow boss! Niu Fugui, who was standing in the center of the public hall, had a stiff face, and he was wearing a single coat and long hakama, and he replied in a deep voice, "Exactly!" ”
"You want to report the crime?" County Magistrate Ma was curious, but he didn't expect that this person who was the first to beat the drum and voice the grievances would be a bully in Longgang who covered the sky with one hand! "That's right!" Niu Fugui's face was very ugly, and behind him was the noisy voices of the villagers talking to each other, he turned his head and glared coldly, and the villagers slowly quieted down.
"Last night, I encountered a snitch in my house, and not only lost a lot of valuable antique calligraphy and paintings, but even lost a stub from the bank!" Niu Fu's eyes were as big as a cow, and he looked resentful, "I don't know who that thief is!" But I know where all those cultural and porcelain have gone! Niu Fugui stretched out his hand, pointed at the villagers watching at the county yakou behind him, and said coldly, "I want to ask you to do two things, the first is to let these poor ghosts return my things hidden at home!" Second, that is to track down the lawless thief, take back the stub of my bank, and bring this thief to justice! ”
Money stubs? Dugu Aoxue, who was standing in the back hall, heard this movement, and suddenly glanced at Ye Sheng, which could make Niu Fugui rush to the county government so angrily, which shows that this money bank stub is not a small amount! Ye Sheng looked at Dugu Aoxue's gaze and glared back calmly, "Look at what!" It's all mine! ”
Although ......the county magistrate Ma is a county magistrate, he does not have the toughness of a county magistrate, he hesitates for a moment, is in a dilemma, and does not know how to judge the case. Isn't the thief a young man Liu Bo? I definitely can't betray Liu Bo Shaoxia! However, Niu Fugui is close at hand, why don't you save his face and send him away?
The crunching sound came from far and near, County Magistrate Ma turned his head to look, only to see Ye Sheng gnawing an apple from the back hall to the public hall, he smiled and put the apple on the table, tilted his neck and asked the villagers who could hear it clearly, "Folks, I and County Magistrate Ma are in charge of you!" Then I'm going to ask you guys! Do you have something for the cow boss in your house? ”
There was silence in the county office, and there was a sound of needles falling. The villagers looked left and right, their eyes flickering, and they did not dare to speak. The neighbors all know that last night, the chivalrous thief saint distributed all the valuable things in the Niu Mansion, at this moment, if you say no, isn't it stupid?
"Definitely! Don't even ask! "Niu Fugui looked excited, scolded loudly, and entrusted the blessing of the saint, now Niu Fugui's whole body is only tens of thousands of taels, and the money stub is gone, which is equivalent to the end!" The whole of Longgang knew that the snitch had dispersed his things after leaving my mansion! Look at these poor ghosts who are crazy about money! Lao Tzu dares to take his money! If you don't get it back, Lao Tzu will burn down your house! ”
The violence of Niu Fugui and the grievances of the villagers made the atmosphere of this county government a little subtle and tense. A moment later, a strong man with bare shoulders shouted, "Boss Niu! You don't want to spout blood! My home, without your stuff! "That's right! Neither at my house! "My family is destitute and surrounded by walls, don't you know Boss Niu?" "Everything from my family, including my daughter, has been robbed by you!"
Outside the county office, the villagers scolded Niu Fugui on one side, Ye Sheng snickered, looked at Niu Fugui's purple face, and gave County Magistrate Ma a look. County Magistrate Ma reacted and slapped the wooden road in shock, "Silence! Quiet! ”
The villagers quieted down, and the angry Niu Fugui scolded with his waist crossed, "County Magistrate Ma, look at these Diao people!" Eat my bones and still don't spit it out! You must ...... "Boss Niu." Ye Sheng waved his hand, smiled indifferently, and interjected, "If one person or two deny it, then it is possible to swallow your Boss Niu's property and then collude to deny it." But when everyone says that, I'm afraid there is no false ingredient! I've also heard the name of the thief saint, extremely light, handsome and chic, although he is a person who robs the rich and helps the poor, but I'm afraid, I'm not so kind to give away the stolen things casually, right? ”
Ye Sheng stared at Niu Fugui and said, "Boss Niu rest assured!" Since the thief stole your things, then he is a thief! Since it is a thief, then the county magistrate Ma will definitely send six doors to arrest him! You can rest assured of this! "Humph! That's good! Niu Fugui gritted his teeth and turned around and glared at those Diao people. The villagers did not retreat but advanced, and the crowd looked at each other coldly, eager to kill Niu Fugui with their eyes.
"By the way, why didn't Boss Niu send someone to catch it himself!" Ye Sheng asked curiously, "The government is short of manpower, and there are very few officials who can be deployed to handle the case of stealing the saint. Niu Fugui blushed, and then turned black again, "It's not a bunch of white-eyed wolves that can't be raised!" Knowing that Lao Tzu was looted and penniless, these guys packed up their bags and sneaked away! The one hundred and eight good men of the rivers and lakes that Lao Tzu had just hired yesterday to prepare to suppress the bandits had also fled! ”
