The man closed the door, hurriedly followed, and cautiously asked, "Are you—"

The rivers and lakes are indispensable for flexible eyebrows and eyes, and it can be seen at a glance that the teenager who walks in is not simple.

Lu Xuan ignored the man's words and looked around the courtyard.

The palm-sized yard was full of debris, and a monkey hung on a wooden frame with its tail curled, looking at it with blazing eyes.

Lu Xuan looked at the monkey for a moment, and then looked at the man: "The government looked for you two days ago, right?" ”

"Ah, yes."

"I'm from the Criminal Department, and I'll ask about that day again."

The man glanced at Lu Xuan carefully, with a suspicious expression.

The young man looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and the greenness between his eyebrows and eyes had not faded, and it was unconvincing to say that he was a person in the government.

"What, don't you believe it?" Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows.

The man was shrouded by that sharp gaze, his scalp was numb, and he hurriedly smiled: "If you have something to say, just ask." ”

Seeing that this young man's temperament and clothes are not ordinary people, for a person like him who lives at the bottom, what does it matter whether he believes it or not.

The important thing is that you can't mess with it!

The man's heart was bitter, and he smiled with a smile on his face.

According to his thoughts, after that day, he should immediately go away and avoid the limelight. But the man who gave him the money had specifically told him not to show anything abnormal, as he always did.

It's good now, I was called by the government to ask for a question, and now someone has come to the door again.

What made the man feel at ease was that those officials were not suspicious of him, and he would be free as soon as he returned the house after a while.

A milky kid is not difficult to deal with.

The man froze, and became more and more calm.

"The monkey you raised that day pounced on the crowd and caused a riot, and you can tell me more about the scene at that time."

"It was ......," the man said.

Lu Xuan listened quietly, and there was no discrepancy with what he had learned from the officials.

"My lord, that's the way it is. Xiao Min really didn't expect to cause such a mess because the little beast was out of control for a while-" The man bowed slightly, his face mixed with guilt and panic.

The monkey hanging upside down on the wooden frame suddenly chirped.

The man glared: "Noisy nobleman to see that I don't skin you!" ”

"Chirp!" The monkey screamed and ran up the wall.

The man ignored the monkey and looked at Lu Xuan with a smile.

"How many years have your monkeys been raised?" Lu Xuan asked.

"It's been seven or eight years."

"How can a monkey who has been domesticated for so long still have a mess?" Lu Xuan asked again.

The man's heart tightened, and he smiled embarrassedly: "No matter how long you raise it, you're just a little beast, and you can't be as sensible and obedient as a human, do you say yes?" ”

Lu Xuan nodded slightly, and said lightly: "This time first, if you need to go back, you will bother again." ”

The man secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Adults go slowly." ”

He kept sending people out of the door until he couldn't see the young man, and then the man closed the door.

"Erpi—" There was no sign of the monkey, and the man shouted casually and ignored it.

The monkeys are well-raised, and they are usually not tethered, and sometimes they will run out to find something to eat by themselves, but they save rations.

Soon the dark figure appeared in the gray alley again.

"Knock knock." The knock sounded again, this time on a different door.

The one who opened the door was a woman in her forties, holding on to the door frame and looking at the young man outside the door vigilantly: "Who are you looking for?" ”

The young man in black smiled lightly: "Auntie, please do me a favor." ”

The woman was dazzled by this laughter, and before she could react, a piece of broken silver was stuffed in her hand.

After a while, the woman smashed the door violently: "Monkey, you come out for me!" ”

The man opened the door and looked at the woman staring at her waist in confusion: "Is there something wrong?" ”

The woman looked him up and down, and asked with a fierce expression, "You are the monkey who moved in two days ago?" ”

The man frowned secretly, and his mouth was quite polite: "Yes, the eldest sister has something?" ”

"That's it." The woman propped up the door with her hand and said, "Lose the money!" ”

The man was stunned: "Losing money? ”

The woman sneered: "The monkey you raised ran to my house to mistreat and threw a few of my chickens into the water tank and drowned." I'm telling you, if you don't lose money today, we're not done! ”

When the man heard this, he almost jumped to his feet: "Impossible! ”

The woman glared: "You still want to pay the bill?" ”

"I didn't want to pay the bill, but you said that the monkey I raised drowned your chicken cubs, what evidence is there?" The man's first reaction was disbelief, and he asked calmly.

The monkeys he had raised for seven or eight years naturally understood that he would never do such a thing that would cause him trouble.

The woman snorted, "Still need proof?" After so many years of peace and quiet in the neighborhood, why did you live in it for less than two days, and my chickens had an accident? If you didn't raise a monkey do it, someone else could run over the wall to my house to do such a boring thing? ”

"Sister, that's not what you say—"

The woman approached with her chest straight: "I tell you, if you don't lose money today, we won't be finished!" ”

The man stepped back again and again, secretly complaining.

He begs for a lot of people, and the most difficult thing is this kind of shrew.

When I think about it, I don't want to cause trouble.

"Eldest sister, how much do you say you will lose?"

The woman held out two fingers.

"Twenty Wen?" The man frowned.

A few chicks actually asked for twenty wen, which is obviously slanderous!

But looking at the woman with a fierce face, and thinking about the benefits obtained a few days ago, the man didn't want to do much, so he said angrily: "Okay." ”

"Twenty Wen?" The woman's voice was raised and she squinted at the man, "Twenty wen can be exchanged for my precious chicken cub's life?" Do you know how strong those chicks are raised by me? They later grow into hens and lay at least two eggs a day. The eggs hatch into chicks, and the chicks become hens......"

The more the woman spoke, the more distressed she became: "Mother, this is a calculation that tears out my heart!" ”

"How much does the eldest sister think she should lose?" The man gritted his teeth and squeezed out the sentence.

The woman stretched out two fingers again, almost poking the man's nostrils: "Two taels of silver, not a copper plate is missing!" ”

"Two taels of silver?" The man's face changed greatly, "A few chickens cost two taels of silver, why don't you grab them?" ”

The woman took a sip: "Why should I rob it?" Robbery is going to kill the head! Your monkey has harmed my chickens, and it is only natural for you to lose money, even if you make trouble in front of the official, I am justified! ”

The man couldn't bear it anymore and sneered: "How did the eldest sister's chicken cub die, let's find another reason, it has nothing to do with me!" ”

"Why, you didn't raise that monkey?"

"It's me who raised it well, but the monkey I've raised for seven or eight years is more sensible than a seven or eight-year-old child, let it go east to the east, let it go west to the west, it's impossible to harm your chickens!"

"How can a beast be more obedient than a man?"

"Monkeys are the most spiritual, and if they are tamed, of course they are more obedient than humans." The man's tone was firm.

If it's twenty wen, it's just that, but the lion opened his mouth to ask for two taels of silver, and he can't be black-hearted by this black-hearted woman in any case!

"More obedient than a human?" The young man's lonely voice sounded in the alley.
