Chapter 2 is to eradicate it
"Do you ask me,"
The young man unhurriedly withdrew the long whip, but this action frightened the group of house slaves all involuntarily dodging back, seeing them like this, the young man sneered disdainfully,
"Master, I just passed by here, and when I saw that the crying and shouting here sounded annoying, I came over by the way to ask what happened, but the mad dog didn't speak human words, and he was beaten by himself, so I had to teach him a lesson, and see if he dared to bite indiscriminately in the future."
"I'm their housekeeper, I'm bringing someone out to ask for accounts today, don't meddle here, you little doll!"
The leader was a little angry.
Do you want an account?
Although the young man is not very old, he has seen a lot of things, and he knows that this is just an excuse, but no matter what, this is really none of his business, so he turned his gaze to Cui Zhan, who was standing aside.
Originally, I saw someone come to hold the grievances, and a glimmer of hope rose in my heart, but it was only one person who came, and it was a child who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. But after this short confrontation, Cui Zhan had already seen that although the young man in front of him was young, he was by no means an ordinary person, so he stepped forward in a few steps and arched his hand.
"This little boy, that's what happened. The villain's name is Cui Zhan, early this morning, this housekeeper brought someone to insist that my family owes him a debt on the village, and he grabbed my daughter Xiaoyingzi and left, which is really inexplicable! But even if my family really owes him a debt, no matter what, they just pay it back when they make it up, but they don't care at all, and they can't say that they will rob my daughter! Little boy, Xiao Yingzi is only eleven years old, and he was really robbed by them, so how did he get ......?"
"Cui Zhan, you are pure nonsense! Obviously, you owe the debt to our owner, and you said that you are willing to take your daughter to the top, why don't you admit it now? ”
The housekeeper is yin and yang.
Cui Zhan was angry and anxious, arguing,
"You're just talking nonsense, when will I ......"
"Alright, alright,"
The young man had already understood what was going on, so he glanced at the butler and said,
"What evidence do you have that he owes your family? If not, Young Master Ben will suggest that the family go to Liaodong County to explain this reason, I don't believe that on the ground of my Great Qing Kingdom, there is no king law! ”
"Yes, that's right, go to the official!"
As soon as I said this, I heard people around me shouting, and it sounded like a lot.
The young man turned his head and saw that after a period of noise, there were already a lot of people around him, but it seemed that most of them should be nearby villagers, but behind these people, there was one person who was different, that person was wearing a hat, pressed very low, and his whole body was hidden in a wide cloak, even if he couldn't see his appearance or figure clearly, the only thing that could be seen was that he should be considered very tall.
Whoever he is—
Although he felt that this mysterious person was a little suspicious, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and the young man turned his gaze back to the person concerned.
Hearing that he was going to see the official, the butler's face showed a trace of nervousness, and his eyes turned around.
"We have the account book as proof, and there is also the fingerprint of this surnamed Cui."
"Where's the ledger?"
The boy didn't allow him to think about it anymore and ask questions.
The butler turned back to a man with a goatee,
"Mr. Ledger, bring me the ledger and see how much he owes us!"
"Hmm...... Ok ......"
While squeaking and agreeing, the tent man took out a ledger from the bag he was carrying, and looked at it pretentiously,
"This—oh...... It's a total of six taels and six dollars...... Hey—"
Before he could finish speaking, the young man's long whip shook and rolled up the ledger, held it in his hand, and looked down.
The tent man was in a hurry, and he rushed over to snatch it back, but the boy was already sitting on horseback, a lot higher than him, and when he shook his hands to grab it, the boy pulled the mount and dodged, so that every time he almost grabbed the tent book, he avoided it lightly, but he couldn't grab it, and teased him to scratch left and right, like child's play, so that the people around him couldn't help but laugh "haha".
While playing with the tent man, the young man looked through the account book, and after looking at it a few times, he couldn't help but sneer and turn the horse's head, no longer paying attention to the guy who was so anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks, he looked at Cui Zhan and asked,
"Have you gambled with them?"
"Gambling money?"
Hearing this question, Cui Zhan couldn't help but be stunned,
"We farmers are struggling to support our families, where do we get the spare money to gamble with others, not to mention them, we can't hide if we want to, who dares to gamble with them?!"
"That's it,"
The young man pursed his lips and smiled,
"This is an account book dedicated to keeping gambling debts, and it is written how much money is owed to him by so-and-so on which year, month, and day, and there is no name of Cui Zhan from beginning to end."
Then he fell back into the face of the bookkeeper and said,
"Who the hell is talking nonsense!"
"I said, Mr. Keeper, did you take the account book by mistake?"
The butler was still there shaking his wit, guiding the guy who was already covered in cold sweat.
When the tent man heard this, he quickly nodded and said,
"Yes, yes, I took it wrong."
After speaking, he took out a notebook from his bag.
When the young man saw it, he urged him to dismount and lean towards him, saying,
"Show me!"
"No, no!"
The bookkeeper has learned to be obedient this time, and he stepped back vigorously,
"How can this account book be shown to irrelevant people casually......
As he spoke, he stepped back, almost retreating to the crowd of onlookers, but he only cared about hiding from the young man, and unexpectedly, suddenly stretched out a hand from the crowd and snatched the book, and then, the person who grabbed the account book appeared from the crowd very quickly, came to the young man's side, and handed him the book.
"Young Master Zong, I'll show you."
"Oh?"
The young man surnamed Zong was really surprised, and when he looked closely, he realized that this person was the mysterious person who had been hiding behind the crowd just now, hiding in the cloak of the hat.
Just the moment when the two sides looked at each other, the young man had already looked at each other carefully, but saw that his hidden appearance was very handsome, and the figure covered under the cloak was also very tall, and more importantly, there was a treasure knife hanging under his ribs.
It's obviously a talent who is born with a good appearance, why should you dodge and dare not meet people-
muttered to himself in his heart, but the young man smiled slightly on the surface,
"Thank you, brother."
