140.Chapter 140: Take the initiative
"Childe!" Chen Yin's second daughter saw Xiao Bai walking out of the crowd, as if she saw hope, Yin Hongsleeve grabbed Xiao Bai's sleeve and said eagerly: "Childe, I really didn't steal anything." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I know. Xiao Bai patted Yin Hongsleeve's arm to signal her to calm down, Xiao Bai looked at Shangguan Hanshan and said, "This Shangguan son, can you not be in a hurry to make a judgment?" I have a way to prove that she is definitely not stealing." ”
"Oh?" Shangguan Hanshan's grim gaze glanced at Xiao Bai up and down, seeing that his face was sincere and confident, he groaned slightly, raised his hand to stop the two behind him, and said, "Then you can talk about it." ”
Xiao Bai walked up to the middle-aged boss, glanced at the guy in the store, and said, "You just said that there are a lot of people in the store, so you will all be very busy, and you all happened to see her stealing things?"
"What's impossible!?" the middle-aged boss shouted: "I've been running a store for many years, and these guys have been with me for a long time, and anyone who steals in the store, they are very sensitive, like sand in their eyes, and they can find out out instinctively." ”
"So powerful?" Xiao Bai said, "Then how many people were there in the store just now?"
The middle-aged boss said: "There are one hundred and fifty people. ”
"Okay," Xiao Bai nodded, "Then let's do an experiment, and then invite another hundred and fifty people to your store to pretend to be customers to buy something, and I'll let Red Sleeves go in and 'steal' something out, and see if you can find out?"
The shopkeeper thought to himself that you kid is really ridiculous, this woman is wearing a red dress, she is dressed so eye-catchingly, and there are so many pairs of eyes paying attention to her, can't you still find out? The shopkeeper smiled coldly and said, "Is it that as long as I catch her properly, you will admit that she stole before?"
Xiao Bai nodded and said, "As long as you can find it." ”
"Okay!" the shopkeeper laughed heartily, "let's try it!"
There were more and more onlookers, blocking the entire street, Shangguan Hanshan let a large group of customers crowd into the store, and Yin Hongsleeve also got into it, but it was like a fish into the sea, and there was no trace of it.
The shopkeeper and his gang stood in front of a few containers, looking left and right with their eyes wide open, it stands to reason that Yin Hongsleeves and a red dress should be very recognizable, but in the crowded crowd, they can only occasionally catch a glimpse of the red shadow with their peripheral vision, and when they turn their heads, the red shadow is gone. Not to mention seeing Yin Hongsleeve stealing things, even if he can't find anyone, Yin Hongsleeve is like a ghost who has sneaked into the crowd, haunted, and there is no trace at all.
The shopkeeper finally realized that the woman in red was extraordinary, and his heart became more and more anxious, and suddenly, the crowd outside the street erupted into a commotion. The shopkeeper's face changed, and he led the guys to run out of the door quickly, and all of them suddenly stopped, and at some point, Yin Hongsleeve had left the store strangely, and his hands were full of seven or eight jade bracelets.
"How...... How could it be!?" The shopkeeper and the rest of the men all opened their eyes wide, they didn't even see anyone, why did she steal something and come out.
Xiao Bai looked at the shopkeeper and said coldly: "Didn't you say that the people in your shop have several years of experience, and they will only instinctively find out when they steal?"
The shopkeeper froze and said, "I just didn't pay attention to it just now, and then ...... One more time, I'm sure I'll be able to catch her. ”
"It's useless to come ten more times!" Xiao Bai saluted Shangguan Hanshan and said: "Master Hanshan, my maid was born with a dark moon spirit body, and she is good at concealing her body, if she really wants to steal things, let alone these ordinary boss guys who have not practiced, even if they are martial artists in the store, they can't find out,"
"Dark Moon Spirit Body!?" The shopkeeper's face changed, he staggered back two steps, and suddenly felt Shangguan Hanshan's two cold eyes fall on his face, and he hurriedly said, "Master Hanshan, I'm ...... I really didn't frame her, I didn't want to frame her for no reason?"
Xiao Bai looked at the shopkeeper with a cold expression and said, "Yes, I also want to know, you don't know her, you don't know her, why do you want to frame her? Unless, someone behind you is instigating!?"
"I didn't!" exclaimed the shopkeeper, "she just ...... I just stole something!" the shopkeeper refused to admit it, but cold sweat was already oozing from his forehead.
How could Shangguan Hanshan believe him at this moment, he looked at the boss and snorted coldly: "According to the laws of the human race, if you are falsely accused and imprisoned for three years, you will be recruited from the truth, and you will be dealt with lightly, if you do not admit your guilt in death, the crime will be increased by one degree!"
The Shangguan family is in charge of the world's criminal law, and has always been known for its iron-faced selflessness, and all the official organizations on the mainland are in charge of the Shangguan family...... It was the boss who made us say so. This immediately set off a chain reaction.
The rest of the clerks fell to their knees one after another, accusing the boss: "Hanshan Gongzi, he instructed us." ”
"It's none of our business!"
Everyone's eyes fell on the shopkeeper, who turned pale like dirt, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, poofed to his knees, and quickly kowtowed: "Hanshan Gongzi forgive me, someone gave me 10,000 yuan this morning and asked me to frame the two girls." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone around them was in an uproar, and they all scolded angrily, Yin Hongsleeve almost rushed up to beat him, but was stopped by Xiao Bai, who asked in a deep voice, "What kind of person instructed you?"
The boss said: "It's a white and chubby middle-aged man, I don't recognize him, he gave me money and left." ”
Xiao Bai said: "Doesn't he have anything else to explain?"
The shopkeeper said: "He said that as long as I make a big fuss, even if the two girls run away, it doesn't matter, after the matter is done, he will give me another 10,000." ”
Xiao Bai's eyes flashed, and he carefully inquired about the appearance characteristics of the middle-aged man, and then ignored it.
Shangguan Hanshan said angrily: "In Luo'an City, my Shangguan family still dares to know the law and break the law under the nose, and arrest them all!"
Shangguan Hanshan walked up and saluted Xiao Bai and the others, and said apologetically: "I, Shangguan Hanshan, am ranked fourth among the juniors of the Shangguan family, and I almost caught the wrong girl after listening to one side of the word before, I'm really sorry." ”
Fourth in line!?
Xiao Bai squinted slightly, he knew that among the four great families, only the descendants with the highest status were eligible to be ranked, it seemed that this Shangguan Hanshan's status in the Shangguan family was not low, which was equivalent to the existence of Mo Qingqing and Mo Xinchen in the Mo family.
Xiao Bai thought that the other party's status was extremely high, not only did he not put up a fight, but he also took the initiative to apologize, but he also had a good impression, and said: "If it weren't for Shangguan Gongzi to administer justice here, how could that middle-aged boss confess his guilt so quickly, it was Xiao Bai who should say thank you." ”
Shangguan Hanshan said: "It turned out to be Brother Xiao, so do you know who wants to frame you? As long as you say it, Hanshan will definitely act impartially." ”
Bai looked stunned and saluted: "I don't have to worry about this matter for the fourth prince." ”
Shangguan Hanshan heard that Xiao Bai seemed to want to solve it by himself, so he didn't ask too much, so he said, "Then Hanshan will leave first." ”
Xiao Bai saw his tall back, his bearing was calm, but he was condensed but not revealed, and he was obviously a peak martial artist. And the children of the four great families can directly participate in the Four Palaces Examination, Xiao Bai thought to himself that this person has extraordinary strength, will he also participate in the Four Palaces Examination?
With the departure of Shangguan Hanshan, this turmoil also came to an end, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
Chen Baozhen said: "It's still a great son, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't know what to do." ”
Yin Hongsleeve was still a little indignant, and asked, "Does Childe know who is going to frame us?"
Xiao Bai nodded and said, "When we first arrived in Luo'an City, no one was offended, except for the incident that Ming Lao reminded us of last night. ”
Chen Baozhen was shocked and said: "Childe is talking about the two subordinates of the Mo family, but finding a few ordinary people to frame them is too childish, right?"
Xiao Bai said: "This is exactly their cleverness, this seems to be just a very ordinary little thing, but it can be infinitely magnified, think about it, the three of us are carrying the Mo family's recommendation order, which directly represents the honor of the Mo family, if we are involved in a theft case and are splashed with dirty water, it will directly damage the honor of the Mo family, even if the matter is clear, but the words are terrible, will the Mo family continue to let us continue to hold the recommendation order? This is also the reason why the white fat middle-aged man said that he just made a big deal about it." ”
The second daughter suddenly realized, and Yin Hongsleeve said angrily: "These people are too despicable. ”
Xiao Bai said: "Fortunately, the son of the Shangguan family can testify here, otherwise even if I can help you get out of today's matter, it will be terrifying, and those people can still use this matter to stir up some rumors, expand this matter, and send it to the ears of the Mo family." ”
Chen Baozhen frowned and said, "But if they don't succeed this time, maybe there will be a second time." ”
Xiao Bai glanced at Chen Baozhen approvingly, and he found that this servant girl who was obedient to people gradually began to have her own ideas and ideas under the influence of him and Yin Hongsleeve.
Xiao Bai said: "Indeed, if we don't completely solve this hidden danger, we will have no peace in these six days, instead of dealing with it passively, it is better for us to take the initiative to solve this trouble." ”
Yin Hongsleeve's eyes flashed and said, "It's good to take the initiative, but what should we do?"
Xiao Bai's eyes flashed with wisdom, and said: "I believe that it is impossible for these people to do this without the acquiescence of the second master of the Mo family, and the reason why the second master of the Mo family acquiesced must be because he felt that those people under him were stronger than us, and he was a little unconvinced in his heart, we can go to the door and take the initiative to defeat them, and they have to obey." ”
Yin Hongsleeves clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, let's go to the door and compete with them to see who is more qualified to have these three recommendation orders!!"
Xiao Bai said: "But this matter can't be reckless, otherwise it will violate our identity, it is best to be presided over by Mo Sanye, and he proposed to Mo Erye to hold a contest about obtaining a recommendation order, so that it can also show the generosity of the third master, but the third master is not in the house, we can only find his representative." ”
Chen Baozhen's eyes lit up and asked, "Childe is looking for Miss Mo Qi?"
Xiao Bai smiled and said: "Actually, we can find any of Mo Sanye's children, but I have the most familiar relationship with Miss Mo Qi, so naturally we have to find her first." ”
