Chapter Thirty-Seven: Running Too Fast to Catch Up
Xue Pan said that he made money at home, drank in the middle of the road, and then woke up and the money was robbed, and chased him all the way for more than ten miles, and when he arrived here, he saw these people who stole his silver.
"Fair man, how do you say this matter should be divided."
Xue Pan held his head high and said, "If you want me to say, you should break all the thieves of these people, and then take them to see the official...... It's simply unreasonable, the robbery actually grabbed my Uncle Xue's body, or at the feet of this Son of Heaven. ”
More than a dozen people on one side bowed their heads and were silent.
Their village was burned down because of a mistake in operation, which also included the granary, and now the people of the village went to their relatives, and those who did not want to defect, or those who did not have relatives, could only starve there, and it was also in desperation that they decided to take the risk, and got the sweat medicine from Ni Er, but they didn't want the money to be transported away, so they were chased up.
Lin Dong sat there, looked carefully, opened the box again, then shook his head and said, "No, there must be something strange here!" ”
Xue Pan saw that this money was not lost, and he was relieved in his heart, and when he heard Lin Dong say that there was something strange in it, he opened his mouth and asked, "What should be wrong with this?" ”
"Please come here."
Lin Dong waved his hand, and when he arrived at the box, he grabbed the box with both hands, and seemed to have tried all his strength to move the box, and the green tendons on his forehead were shown one by one, but the box was never moved.
Holding on like this for a moment, Lin Dong was sweaty, panting and said: "You see, this one box, I tried my best to leave and couldn't move it, you look at these people, they all have yellow muscles, how can they have the strength to move this box, there must be something strange in it." ”
What he said made Xue Pan laugh dumbly, and he only felt that he saw a fool.
This thing is that he saw this person moving the box with his own eyes, and snatched it back from the box with his own hands, this is already a hammer that is sure of the iron, and what else is strange.
But since this fair person said so, Xue Pan was also happy to mock, and first saw what Lin Dong said.
"Come on."
Lin Dong waved his hand to more than a dozen villagers and said, "You come to carry this box for me, I want to see how you carried the box and ran for ten miles." ”
"We're all rednecks."
After all, a villager couldn't help but speak, and said to Lin Dong: "We do farm work diligently, and we are different from people like you who are powerless. ”
Especially there is money in it, and the motivation of the villagers can be said to be very big, but no matter how big the motivation is, after carrying more than ten miles, it will eventually be overwhelmed by this external force, not to mention that they are two legs, and they can't outrun Xue Pan's four legs.
"I don't believe it!"
Lin shook his head, not believing it at all, and said, "I don't believe it until you carry it on your back, run up, and let me see it with your own eyes." ”
"Hi ......"
Xue Pan looked at Lin Dong and said angrily: "I didn't find out, you are actually a carryer, these people are carrying money, I saw it with my own eyes, they said it in person, this is a fact, what else do you not believe?" ”
"If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it."
Lin Dong carried it to the end, pointed at Xue Pan and said, "Can you carry this money and run for more than ten miles?" ”
Xue Pan is also a rich young master, how can he have such strength, usually taking silver is taken by subordinates, carrying a box, this is impossible.
"Come!"
Xue Pan got angry, pointed at the villagers and said: "You carry this money for me, run up, let this fair person see, you run one more step, I will beat you one less whip!" ”
When more than a dozen villagers heard this, they looked at each other.
"Okay."
Lin Dong said: "You just run for me, let's see." ”
The villagers, you look at me, I look at you, seeing this situation, they are also helpless, one by one hesitated forward, stretched out their hands to move the box, only to feel that the gold and silver in the box had no weight, and carried it lightly, and ran even more light.
In addition to the silver taels, there are also some silk and silk satins, and only two boxes are gifts for Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue, and no one carries these two boxes this time.
The villagers ran ahead with the money on their backs, and the servants of the Xue family followed behind.
Lin Dong and Xue Pan waited for the results at the end to see how far these villagers could run, and then gave Xue Pan and Lin Dong a letter to let Lin Dong, a "fair person", understand.
The two of them sat here and talked idly, Xue Pan was inseparable from women, and told Lin Dong that this business went to Jiangnan, where he interviewed Baoyu and bought a lot of women, all of whom were Peugeot.
Lin Dong didn't want to talk to Xue Pan about women, so he listened silently on the side.
After a long time, Xue Pan's servant ran over panting, and when Xue Pan saw the servant, he asked with a smile: "How far did those thieves run?" ”
"Uncle Xue......"
The servant panted and said, "They have run too far...... We didn't catch up! ”
"Hahahahaha......"
When Xue Pan heard this, he immediately laughed, and said to Lin Dong: "How about it, fair people, I said that these people can run away with money on their backs, you see how fast they run, my servants didn't chase ......"
Xue Pan's smile gradually disappeared.
Lin Dong's smile gradually lacked morality.
"Where's the money?"
Xue Pan asked.
"Didn't catch up! They were all carried away by those thieves! ”
The servant replied.
"What about people?"
Xue Pan asked again.
"They didn't catch up, they ran away with the money on their backs."
The servant replied.
"What about you?"
Xue Pan asked again.
"We didn't catch up with them, they ran away with the money."
The servant still said the same thing.
“……”
Dark clouds, thunder and lightning roaring, this is the state of Xue Pan in the hearts of the servants at this time, Xue Pan should also be on fire, these servants are also very hot, who is carrying such a heavy treasure, running faster than them who have no weight, the bluestone slab surface, like a head-on wall, slightly crooked, these people step on it, they climb this bluestone face, hands and feet are not used to run fast.
What can they do, they are desperate.
Lin Dong nodded, and said to Xue Pan: "Brother Xue, it seems that I was wrong, these people are carrying money boxes on their backs, and they are really running fast, it seems that I, a fair person, are unfair, and I will never mention it again in the future!" ”
Seemingly extremely ashamed, Lin Dong said goodbye to Xue Pan and left.
At this time, Lin Dong supported these villagers, they burned their homes, they had no food to eat, they had come to an end, even if they robbed Xue Pan's money, it was just to survive, it was true that their means were wrong, but at this time, Lin Dong was indeed sympathetic to them.
And the money of a big family like Xue Pan, no matter how clean it is, it has stains, and he took it after taking five thousand taels, after all, for Xue Pan, this money is also a matter of sleeping with Jia Baoyu.
"You can't go!"
Xue Pan grabbed Lin Dong, his eyes were bloodshot, stared at Lin Dong and said, "It's all your fault." You're going to see the official with me! You're going to spit all this money out of me! ”
"We're going to have to break it down."
Lin Dong turned around, looked at Xue Pan, and said, "Brother Xue, you said that this money has something to do with me, so may I ask, did I steal this money, or did I rob this money?" ”
"You are complicit!"
Xue Pan said firmly.
Now there must be a person who is behind the pot, a person who is angry, otherwise he Xue Pan will return to the capital, people will hear this, wouldn't they say that he is a fool, not to mention that this trip has worked and worked, and he has earned the five thousand taels of silver for hard work, and he is going home and disappeared inexplicably, which is not only unbearable, but completely unbearable.
"I'm a notary."
Lin Dong corrected.
"You're an accomplice!"
Xue Pan gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and hit Lin Dong's face.
He didn't feel distressed when he spent this money on Jia Baoyu, but this inexplicable disappearance was really distressing and annoying.
“…… In recent years, there are very few people who dare to do anything to me. ”
Lin moved his hands to block Xue Pan's hand, and said to Xue Pan with a straight face: "Brother Xue, as a notary, you have a lot of work to do......
Xue Pan didn't care about it, he stretched out his hand and called Lin Dong again, and the servants on the side saw this, no matter how tired they were, they also forcibly came over to help.
All right.
Then it's time for self-defense.
The people started beating people first, and Lin Dong naturally wanted to fight back.
Lin Dong didn't have any special thoughts about Xue Pan's kind of stunned person, even if it was Xue Baochai's brother, Xue Baochai was not his wife.
Stretching out his hand, Xue Pan's center of gravity suddenly became unstable, and Lin Dong hit Xue Pan's chin with a punch, biting Xue Pan's upper and lower teeth together, only to hear a bang in his mind, dizzy, I don't know where it is.
And the servant pounced, and Lin Dong threw two punches in his hand, knocking the servant to the ground and unable to get up.
"Humph! Scum with zero combat effectiveness! ”
After hammering these two people to the ground, Lin Dong snorted, dropped this line, got up and left the place.
As for Xue Pan, he lost his silver and was hammered, it can be said that it was unlucky to get together, and after the servants came back, Xue Pan took his servants and sprinkled fire one by one, this one slapped a few times, and that one kicked a few times, so that he could be regarded as having some evil anger in his heart, and went back to the capital in a stupid manner.
What was brought back from Jiangnan, what was left in the end was a gift for Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue.
A notary, the one who stole the Xue family's property.
After Xue Pan reported the case, the yamen immediately began to examine it, but there was no notary public in these ten miles and eight townships, as for the matter of robbing Xue Pan's money, the yamen could not find out, but found out that a village had recently caught fire, everything in the village was burned out, and the yamen also allocated a few taels of silver, but it was not deducted from the hands of the villagers at all.
That's the end of it.
