Chapter 17 Is It Useless to Be a Scholar?
Dongfang Yanhe didn't speak, and only after a moment did he mutter, "You go back to the cave I just took you to see, just in case they play yin." ”
"Yes......" Hongshao said, turning and disappearing into the darkness.
In the lobby, Ye Chuliang was arrested again and pressed his shoulder, and he knelt on the ground involuntarily.
Lu Jiashi still had a cold face, "As for what method the adult uses, I am not interested in knowing, the woman just wants to find the things that belong to our Ma family as soon as possible, so that your things can be obtained quickly." ”
"Yes, yes, Mrs. Lu said yes." The county magistrate nodded.
Ye Chuliang found that Sikong Yu's face was pale, his expression was extremely unnatural, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, as if his heart was full of infinite fear.
She wanted to comfort her, but unfortunately she couldn't help herself at this time, she believed that even if they went up the mountain to look for it, they would return empty-handed, so as long as they waited quietly, everything would be solved.
……
Hong Shao rushed back one step before the catch, her face was slightly red, her eyes stared at the few people who were dozing off in the hall, and she shook her head slightly: "They didn't find any antiques, but it seems that they found some gadgets, I didn't dare to get too close, and the sky was dark, so I didn't see too clearly." ”
"Little things?" Dongfang Yanhe was talking to himself, while recalling the names of several antiques that Lu Jia had said before, and it seemed that only the small walnut matched the description of the red tree.
Before he could continue to speak, the catchers all ran in one after another, accompanied by excited shouts, "Found it, found it." ”
Wu Bing, who was still in the chaos, woke up immediately, he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, stared at his red eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "I finally found it." ”
Ye Chuliang originally heard Zhu Kuai say this, and she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, but when she saw that there was nothing in Zhu Kuai's hand, she sneered: "This antique can't be folded and put in a pocket, right?" ”
Yu Kuai stepped forward and took out a blood-red little thing from his pocket, and then handed it to Wu Bing flatteringly, "My lord, look. ”
Sikong Yu, who was still silent, seemed to be crazy at this time, he pushed away the catch fast around him heavily, his body looked like he was sprinting in the last ten meters, and he ran towards Wu Bing quickly.
The action of catching fast was faster, and even the fast catching fast who was holding Ye Chuliang quickly stepped forward to stop Sikong Yu.
"That's mine, that's what my father left me, why did you snatch it?" Sikong Yu's body was pulled left and right by the two catchers, and he couldn't get close to Wu Bing at all.
"Hmph, your father left it for you, joke, this is something from our Ma family, why do you say that your father left it for you." Lu Jia stepped forward slowly, snorted softly, and then looked directly at Wu Bing.
Wu Bing seemed to sense something, he handed the blood-red walnut to Lu Jiashi and said, "The stolen goods lost by the Ma family have been found, and they should have been returned to their original owners." ”
Lu Jiashi didn't reach out to pick it up, but glanced at the little walnut, and said indifferently: "Forget it, there are still three pieces that haven't been found, so they will be placed in the yamen first, and after all of them are found, it will not be too late for the adults to return them to their original owners." ”
"Yes, yes......" Wu Bing nodded.
Ye Chuliang saw through the greed and desire in the other party's eyes at a glance, as if this little walnut was what he had dreamed of for a long time, and he could finally get his wish.
With the support of the maid, Lu Jia left the yamen like a queen mother, and before leaving, she did not forget to put pressure on Wu Bing, hoping to find three other antiques as soon as possible.
"That's obviously our Sikong family's things, why do you talk nonsense with your eyes open, and why do you take my Sikong family's things for yourself? I'm going to sue you. Sikong Yu's voice came and went, and his appearance was something that Ye Chuliang had never seen before, and at this moment she wanted to retract what she had said before.
Useless is a scholar......
"You let go of me, I want to have a good theory with the people of the Ma family, let me go quickly." Sikong Yu struggled angrily, his eyes red, like a beast that had already become angry.
Wu Bing knocked on the startling wood heavily, and then roared angrily: "As a thief, I actually want to bite back." It's late today, and if you tell the place where the stolen goods are hidden tomorrow, and if you talk cleverly and conceal the fraud, then the official's shawei stick will not be spared. ”
"Retreat ......" After Wu Bing finished speaking, he sneakily took out a small walnut from his sleeve, his eyes flashed with greedy desire, and he bent down and dodged into the back hall.
……
Ye Chuliang and Sikong Yu were locked in two opposite cells, the clammy and cold ground, the damp dead grass, and a musty and disgusting smell in the air, which made Ye Chuliang deeply understand the difficulties of ancient prisoners.
Looking at a cell where you can't get your feet, let alone sitting or lying down, even standing is a problem.
The cell boss put them in his cell, gave them a few admonitions, yawned and turned away.
Through the window in the cell, the outside was already faintly dawning.
Ye Chuliang endured the feeling of nausea, leaning on the wooden fence of the cell and half-squatting, she looked at Sikong Yu's depressed face through the wooden fence, and couldn't help asking, "Why are they targeting you?" Did you really steal ......?"
"I didn't, I didn't steal, it's obvious that they coveted my thousand-year-old walnuts, that's why they designed to frame me like this." Sikong Yu said eagerly without waiting for Ye Chuliang to finish speaking.
"Now that we're connected to the same disease, shouldn't you tell me what happened?" Ye Chuliang then asked.
Sikong Yu was a little embarrassed, but soon as he seemed to have made up his mind, he nodded and said: "I am the distant nephew of Mrs. Wu Bing, the county commander, and my father was also an official when he was young, but the family is in the middle of the road, and the natural disasters are every year, and the family members have died one after another, so I have to come to him, but I didn't expect his wife to die three years ago." ”
Sikong Yu's eyes were a little dim, "I have been studying in my early years, and I have also been admitted to Xiucai, but after my family fell behind, I had to give up the road of lifting people." I thought that he also needed a master book in the county office, so I thought about staying here for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect ......"
Sikong Yu's eyes suddenly turned red, and the corners of his eyes were still shining with looming tears.
"I didn't expect him to see the blood-colored walnuts left to me by my father, and he immediately showed greed, and tried many ways to trick my walnuts, but he didn't succeed." Sikong Yu grabbed the wooden fence and looked at Ye Chuliang with a surprised expression, "I thought he would give up, but I didn't expect that after visiting the Lu Mansion with him, they framed me for stealing the antiques of the Lu Mansion and used this as a reason to hunt me down." ”
