Chapter 26: Adjudication
"Of course it's true." The vendor is undoubtedly sure, "Our family has been wearing lanterns for more than ten years, and these ten miles and eight towns are famous, you go and inquire about ......"
"How much?" Nangong Yifeng impatiently interrupted the vendor's speech.
"You're still happy, Childe!" The vendor smiled and brought the lamp to Nangong Yifeng, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's 80 money." β
"80 lines?" Li Bingru jumped up when she heard this, "You kill pigs!" β
Nangong Yifeng's face turned red all of a sudden.
The vendor was not happy, he took back the lotus lantern, and said angrily: "Good goods and good prices, my lotus lantern is worthy of this price in terms of workmanship and materials." It's you, seeing that you are dressed like a big lady, why do you scold people when you speak? β
"What kind of scolding, what I'm saying is the truth, killing pigs doesn't have this way of killing you, 80 lines are enough to buy several sets of clothes, eat a meal for several days, why do you have a lantern all together, it looks like we don't buy things often, and it's a rich family, you want to cheat a fortune, right? 30 lines, love to sell or not! β
Li Bingru drew 3 with one hand, and dragged Nangong Yifeng with the other, there is a trend that you don't sell, I'll buy other ones.
"50 lines, the lowest price."
"40, the highest price, you and I don't suffer. If you don't sell it, forget it, in the front, you can buy a very beautiful one with 20 lines. β
Li Bingru turned around and was about to leave.
"Okay, okay, 40 lines is 40 lines!" The vendor handed the lamp to Li Bingru with a look of pity.
"Thank you boss!" Li Bingru happily took it and smiled charmingly at Nangong Yifeng, "Pay!" β
"This lamp is so beautiful!"
Blending into the bustling crowd, Li Bingru's eyes were still reluctant to leave the white lotus lantern. She held the lantern in front of Nangong Yifeng and said with a smile: "Look, is it beautiful?" β
Nangong Yifeng looked at Li Bingru's cheering expression and was puzzled.
"If you like it so much, why did you just leave?"
"Like likes, but you can't let people slaughter them arbitrarily just because you like them. That's psychological tactics. β
"Psychological tactics?" Nangong Yifeng seems to understand whether he understands or not, and he still needs tactics to buy a lantern?
"Oh, do you think this lantern is good-looking, wouldn't it be more beautiful if you lit it!"
Li Bingru jumped in front of Nangong Yifeng in one step, and put the lantern in front of Nangong Yifeng's eyes, almost putting it in his eyes. Nangong Yifeng uncomfortably leaned back, and the white petals almost blocked his entire vision.
Before he could express his dissatisfaction, he only heard a "bang-" sound, Li Bingru hit his chest very "gloriously", and the unsuspecting impact made him stumble a step, and subconsciously hugged the person who hit his chest and almost pushed him down, and the full and soft feeling in his arms made his heart uncontrollably complacent.
Without waiting for Nangong Yifeng to experience this kind of compassion, Li Bingru hurriedly struggled out of his arms, and then lifted the white and full lantern, and all he saw was a stack of flattened white paper.
"Uh......h My lotus lantern ......"
"Which one of these people didn't have long eyes and bumped into Young Master Ben!"
There was a voice scolding behind Li Bingru, Li Bingru added to the fire, she turned around angrily, and was just about to scold, when she recognized the person who hit her, she involuntarily grabbed Nangong Yifeng, and moved behind him little by little, like a frightened kitten.
Nangong Yifeng looked at the contrast between Li Bingru before and after suspiciously, and then looked at the two gorgeously dressed sons and brothers who were staring at Li Bingru resentfully, and seemed to understand something.
The two people are Liu Gongzi and Sun Gongzi, who were stolen by Li Bingru.
"It's you!" The clamoring Liu Gongzi gritted his teeth and said, "You really make it easy for us to find!" β
"Which family's clothes are you stealing?" Sun Gongzi tugged at Li Bingru's shirt, "It's quite like that?" β
It's really a narrow road.
Li Bingru sighed, holding the corners of Nangong Yifeng's clothes tightly in her hands, and couldn't stop trembling, blinking her eyes vigorously until a layer of fog came up, and then Chu Chu looked up at Nangong Yifeng pitifully.
"Brother, just ...... That's them...... Bully me...... Woo......"
Suddenly, there was a wave of anger rising and rolling in Nangong Yifeng's heart, as if his beloved thing had been ruined, he swept his cold eyes, and the two sons suddenly shivered.
"If you have something to say, it's good to say." Sun Gongzi saw that the situation was not good, and he was busy to solve the siege, "Hero, this woman is a liar and a thief, last time she lied to us that she couldn't find her brother, we kindly helped her, but she took the opportunity to steal our money bag, and asked the hero to be the master and help us get it back!" β
"Brother, I don't know them!" Li Bingru hid behind Nangong Yifeng and accused, "I couldn't find my brother last time, they said that my brother was with them, and they lied to me to go with them, and I was ...... I have to be lighter than me, but fortunately I was clever enough to run away, otherwise...... Woo...... Brother, you won't be able to see me..."
"I ...... We didn't ......" Liu Gongzi's face turned red, and he didn't dare to raise his head under Nangong Yifeng's cold gaze.
"This woman is such a liar." Sun Gongzi boldly spoke, "The justice of the hero is awe-inspiring. At first glance, he is a benevolent and righteous person, don't be confused by this woman's beauty, so as not to be deceived! β
"Look, admit that I'm good-looking, and have bad intentions for me, right?" Li Bingru pointed at Liu and Sun to accuse.
"You ......"
Nangong Yifeng can be seen clearly, he knows Li Bingru's personality very well in his heart, but he doesn't understand why there was so much anger in his heart just now. He carefully held Li Bingru, with a sense of grasping and supervision.
"You say she stole money, but do you have the credentials?"
"This ......" Liu Gongzi was embarrassed, "The money bag was stolen three days ago, even if it was on her at that time, it would have been long gone." β
Nangong Yifeng asked Li Bingru again: "You said that they bullied you, but is there any witness?" β
"They bullied me, of course it can't be on the street, how can anyone have a witness!"
Nangong Yifeng said: "You said that she stole the money bag, and she said that you bullied her, and there is no evidence, even if this matter reaches the government office, it can't be decided." β
"That's it, according to you?" Liu Gongzi was not convinced.
Nangong Yifeng's eyes were cold, he glanced at Li Bingru, and said, "If you have evidence, I will personally escort her to the yamen to confess." β
Li Bingru's heart was cold, and she complained: "Nangong Yifeng, do you have any humanity, where did I offend you, you have to be so cruel to me, when you bully me, why am I ......?"
"Shut up!" Nangong Yifeng scolded angrily, how could this woman say anything?
Also, isn't it unconcealed that you don't confess yourself?
Li Bingru raised her tearful face, bit her lower lip tightly, and was aggrieved and didn't speak, but she still couldn't stop sobbing, as if she had been greatly wronged.
The two sons looked at each other.
"You are the second young castle master of Tianlong Castle - Nangong Yifeng?"
Nangong Yifeng was noncommittal, and only said, "Can we go?" β
He was really worried that the woman next to him would say something shocking.
Liu Gongzi wanted to say something more, but Sun Gongzi hurriedly held him down.
"Since this woman is Nangong's second young master's person, Nangong's second young master has spoken, we naturally have nothing to say, the imperial court and Tianlong Fort still have to be friends for generations, arguing over this little matter really outweighs the loss. Second Young Master Nangong, I'm out of company! β
The woman of the second young master of Nangong?
The corners of Nangong Yifeng's lips unconsciously hooked a shallow arc, like a feather teasing his heart, setting off a slight ripple, and the scene of the two of them sleeping in disheveled clothes came to mind that morning.
"Still crying!"
After walking far away, Li Bingru still bit her lower lip and sobbed, and the kind of forbearance whimper made Nangong Yifeng upset, as if he had done something rebellious to her.
Li Bingru glanced at Nangong Yifeng, let go of her teeth, and said aggrievedly: "You hurt me." β
Nangong Yifeng realized that his hand was still pressing Li Bingru's shoulder tightly, and only then did he think that it might be a moment of anger just now, plus his distraction was too hard. He looked at Li Bingru's bitten black lower lip, and a little guilt rose in his heart.
"Right...... I'm sorry......" Nangong Yifeng whispered, as if someone was snooping on his mind, and the blush was dyed from his face to the root of his ears.
"Puff-" Li and Ru burst into laughter, wiped his tears indiscriminately, and said, "I accept your apology and forgive you!" β
Nangong Yifeng pulled the corners of his mouth happily, he couldn't express the ease in his heart at this moment.
"You really should smile more, you see how sunny you laugh, even the sun can't compare." Li Bingru noticed the cold-faced man smiling, and pointed at the sun with exaggerated movements.
"What are you...... Praise me? Nangong Yifeng looked up at the sky.
"Of course. The sun, you know, is what brings warmth and light to the earth, and without it, we would always live in darkness and cold, an environment that is unimaginable. β
"I see, it's the Tengu Eclipse Day."
"Tengu Eclipse Day? That's just a superstitious statement, but the real reason is that the moon revolves around the earth, just between the earth and the sun, just like when we put something in front of our eyes, our vision is obstructed, and we can't see anything, and our mind will have an illusion. β
"Where did you learn these fallacies?"
"What kind of croacy? I'm talking about science. It was researched by scientists with great painstaking research......" Li Bingru looked at the person next to him with a confused expression, couldn't help waving his hand, and said: "Forget it, I can't tell you ancients clearly, you just need to remember that when you laugh, it's like the sun shining on us, it's very warm and dazzling." β
"How can a smile make people feel warm?"
"......" Li Bingru felt a little headache, "Then do you want others to smile at you, or do you have a cold face?" β
"Whatever."
"You are hopeless, unreasonable!" Li Bingru shouted in frustration, "I really can't communicate with you." β
"Why can't you learn well?" Nangong Yi was cold and couldn't help but burst out with a sentence.
"Uh......" Li Bingru was stunned and argued forcefully: "How can I not study well?" β
"It's not good to cheat and steal."
"Then don't you look at who they are, which of them doesn't rely on the powerful, run amok, and act for the tiger? They use the money to do bad things, and I just take the sheep and bring a little bit of it, anyway, they are all ill-gotten gains. β
"If they break the law, they should be punished by the county government and the government office!"
"Hehehe, Nangong Yifeng, are you out to be funny?" Li Bingru seemed to have heard something funny.
Nangong Yifeng frowned unhappily, and his thin lips pursed into a cold and arrogant arc.
"I said Nangong Yifeng, I really can't see that you are so naΓ―ve. You yourself have said that you don't need to pay for your life if you want to kill someone, let alone those who are in office? Li Bingru laughed sarcastically, "What kind of place is the county government, they are officials and officials protect each other, strong protection, and protect the interests of their magnates, who cares about innocent people who have no power and no power?" If they had done justice, the country would have been rich and the people would have been strong, and the country and the people would have been safe. β
