Chapter Forty-Three: A Purse
Bai Luo walked out of the county office with Chai Hu.
The people outside the county government are still scarce, and Bai Luo has become accustomed to the desertion in front of the county government, so he went straight west with Chai Hu.
The streets are bustling and the flow of people is getting better.
"Lord Bai, go shopping." Caught off guard, an aunt with a vegetable basket next to her greeted Bai Luo with a smile.
"Ah, go out into the streets, take a look." Bai Luo replied in a daze, this aunt looked familiar, but for a while she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
The aunt was also hearty, and she probably knew that Bai Luo might not be able to think of her, so she grinned and said, "I am the neighbor diagonally opposite the Tiegen house on West Street." Lord Bai, every time you go to the courtyard of Tiegen's house, I go outside to watch the excitement. ”
"Ah, oh, I don't know what you call it?" Bai Luo finally knew why this aunt was familiar, she must have taken a photo when she was investigating the scene.
"The surname of the people's husband's family is Xu, and he is called Xu Sister-in-law." That sister-in-law Xu said warmly: "Lord Bai, how are your feet?" Is it better? ”
Sister-in-law Xu has dealt with Bai Luo and his party several times, but she also knows that Bai Luo's temperament is approachable, and she has a family routine with Bai Luo without seeing it.
"Much better, thank you sister-in-law Xu." Bai Luo replied with a smile, the smile on her beautiful face almost didn't dazzle Sister-in-law Xu's eyes.
The conversation between the two of them has already attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd, and everyone has spotted Bai Luo in the crowd.
Seeing Bai Luo talking to Sister-in-law Xu so kindly, everyone's courage also grew.
"My lord, you are a god in solving the case, if it weren't for you, who would have known that the real murderer could be the old king?" That was closely followed by the outcome of the case.
"Don't dare to be a ......," Bai Luo arched.
"My lord, how did you find out that it was the old king? What can you really see on the wall? "This is the process of solving the case with heart to mind.
"Well, this ......," Bai Luo said.
"My lord, I heard that you have conducted the autopsy yourself? is more powerful than the Miao Cheng for many years, and even he is willing to bow down, right? "This is an expression of curiosity about Bai Luo's case-solving technology.
"Exaggerated, exaggerated, exaggerated......" Bai Luo broke out in a cold sweat.
"......" For a while, everyone talked to Bai Luo in a mess, and asked all kinds of questions.
"You, where did you hear that?" Bai Luo was surrounded by people, and he was so sweaty that he was asked.
"My lord, this case has been made into a storytelling paragraph, which tea shop doesn't talk about this case." Someone solved Bai Luo's doubts.
"Not only our Anning County, my husband went out to run a business, I heard him say that even the nearby Linze County, Shandan County and Gaotai County are spreading this case, and this piece in the northwest has been spread all over the place, I heard that this storyteller also gave this paragraph a name, which is quite good, so that the wife was spied on the house cheating, and the husband died innocently on the spot." There was also an addition.
"That's it, who doesn't know that Lord Bai in our county is like a god in this northwest now!" I don't know who said this, and it immediately caused a round of applause from the surrounding crowd.
Of course, it is a blessing for the people to have a capable official in their own county, and the faces of the people also show a smile of satisfaction.
Chai Hu has been busy returning the young master's belongings these days, and he doesn't know these gossip at all, and when he hears everyone praising his young master, he can't help but feel honored, and his thin chest is proud and high.
The already bustling streets were suddenly crowded because of Bai Luo's appearance.
"Lord Bai, I have a girl to be married in my family, this woman is outstanding, I don't know if Lord Bai wants to take a concubine?" A sister-in-law squeezed in front of Bai Luo and asked earnestly.
This question is like opening up another new world, and the county magistrate sings praises to the county magistrate by the way in a serious discussion of the case.
This topic inexplicably tilted in the direction of kissing.
"My lord, my family also has a daughter to marry, and her appearance is well-known in Anning County!" Another sister-in-law also squeezed in front of Bai Luo and said.
"Come on, sister-in-law Fang, your daughter has a big face like a sheep, yes, her appearance is indeed famous in Anning County, but she is famous for being ugly!" The first sister-in-law who said that she was quitting her family, this was a naked half-cut beard, and she immediately ridiculed each other.
Bai Luo was stunned and watched the two sisters-in-law quarrel in front of her like this, this is really not persuasion, nor is it not persuasion.
And the two sisters-in-law quarreled hotly, and the eyes of the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law in the crowd also fell on Bai Luo's body hotly.
Bai Luo just wanted to turn around and avoid a step, but he didn't want his feet to be weak, so he looked down and stepped on a purse.
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl who dropped her purse next to her looked at him shyly, looking like she wanted to pick it up but didn't dare to pick it up.
Bai Luo didn't think much about it, bent down and picked up the purse and handed it to the girl.
"The girl is done." Bai Luo said gently.
There is a gentle smile on her beautiful face.
The girls around them all gasped with jealousy, how good it would be if they were so gently looked at by Lord Bai!
The girl quickly raised her eyes and glanced at Bai Luo's intoxicating smiling face, her face was full of shame, her eyes were half lowered, her cheeks were blushing, and she took the purse and said, "Thank you, my lord, the little woman is the daughter of the Zhang family in the No. 10 courtyard of Dongjie." ”
After saying it with a flushed face and shyness, the little girl squeezed her purse tightly and carried the corner of her skirt to squeeze through the crowd and run.
Belch?
Bai Luo was stunned, and looked at the little girl who ran away with her purse on her chest with a puzzled face.
Is this some misunderstanding?
Shaking his head, he turned around and just raised one foot to walk forward, but was stunned to find that there was no place to stay on the ground.
The next step of his feet was full of purse handkerchiefs, and even a sweat towel on his head, covering him in all four directions.
Bai Luo looked around again, and a group of little girls stared at him like wolves with expectant eyes.
"My lord, the purse of the slave family ......" a woman who was a little proud of her posture shyly pointed to an apricot-yellow embroidered mandarin duck purse on the ground, and said delicately.
Still picking up? Bai Luo looked at the purse on the ground and really wanted to wipe his sweat.
Just when I didn't know what to do, someone in the shop next to me greeted Bai Luo, "My lord, can you move to the shop and sit down?" ”
It was the jade shop of Master Li's family, and the one who invited Bai Luo to come in and sit was Master Li, who everyone in the county knew that he was sick because Bai Luo was too ruthless in asking for bribes.
When will Master Li's illness be cured?
And these shop owners usually avoid the adults in the county, why did they suddenly take the initiative to invite Lord Bai into the house to sit today?
Master Li is not afraid that the other half of the family wealth will also be lost by Lord Bai?
Master Li looked at everyone's surprised or puzzled eyes, and he knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Everyone in the county is saying that Lord Bai has asked for half of the family wealth, which is purely false, and please stop using false rumors to ruin Lord Bai's name." ”
After speaking, Master Li respectfully bent down and invited Bai Luo into the store.
Bai Luo looked at the sincere smile on Master Li's face, thought about it, and nodded.
Chai Hu squatted down neatly and pushed the purse handkerchief on the ground out of the way.
The women in the crowd let out a sigh of disappointment.
Bai Luo walked in with a puff of his clothes.
The beautiful face and this chic movement immediately caused a burst of admiration from the big girl and the little daughter-in-law.
