Chapter 157: A Bowl of Noodles for Fairness
"Little lord, you ate two bowls of noodles and only gave money for one bowl!"
The interrogation room of the Alpine City Picket Bureau was overcrowded, and anyone who knew it would be surprised to see it, and all the officials, wealthy businessmen and celebrities of all sizes in the Alpine City gathered together and sat on both sides of the interrogation room, watching the 'show' in the middle with a blank face.
A well-dressed, thin, middle-haired man sat on a wide chair and pointed to a twelve-year-old boy and uttered these sad words.
Andrew spat and said, "Talking nonsense with my eyes open, I only ate a bowl of noodles from him and gave him a bowl of money." ”
The corner of the middle man's mouth hooked, and he looked at the opposite side, "How many bowls of noodles did he eat?" ”
The focus of the "two bowls" line of sight is a noodle shop owner wearing an apron, the apron is still stained with oil, he bows his head, and says weakly.
"Fart!" Behind the owner of the powder shop, there was a burly man with a fierce face, who kicked on the waist of the owner of the powder shop, and scolded righteously, "Impossible, the little lord is the younger brother of the lord, how can he owe you money for the powder?" ”
"I just ate two bowls and only gave one bowl of money" The owner of the noodle shop fell down, got up with a weak heart, and said with a crying voice.
"Lord, give our Alpine City a fair deal, okay!" The man stood up, his voice raised suddenly, "I'm asking for a fair today!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes"
"We want to be fair."
"yes, it has to be fair."
Around, officials and wealthy businessmen chimed in.
Andrew's immature face showed panic and anger, and he looked at the crowd around him, wanting to argue, but the man in the middle of the division scrambled to speak
"Whom do you ask? Ask the lord's brother, why? ”
The man walked in front of all the officials and wealthy merchants, raised two fingers, and then turned into one, and said loudly, "He ate two bowls of noodles and only gave one bowl of money, which is called no!" Public! Flat!
"Since the lord's younger brother is taking the lead unfairly, what the lord says is a fart!"
"Your mother!" Andrew's eyes turned red immediately, fairness, is the most important character of the Wilde family, how can he allow others to splash such dirty water on him and Sister Norris?
Like an enraged tiger, he lunged at the man in the middle with his teeth and claws, pinning him to the ground and trying to tear his foul mouth apart.
"Eh, eh, little lord, little lord" The fierce-looking man quickly stood up, pulled Andrew back, and clamped him tightly with both hands.
"Hahahaha" The placket of the man's clothes was torn, but he began to laugh, and the laughter contained a thick mockery.
"Ivan!" The fierce-looking man stepped forward and glared angrily at the man in the middle, "The little lord is the lord's younger brother, how can he owe him any money?" ”
"Heh, the lord's younger brother, isn't this a common thing?" The middle of the division of the man's road.
"Ridiculous!" The man with a fierce face said angrily, "The little lord is the heir of the Wild family, and the most important thing for the Wild family is fairness!" ”
The fierce-looking man turned around and hugged his fist at Andrew, "Little lord, they don't believe you, I believe in you, one bowl is one bowl, two bowls is two bowls, no ambiguity!" Make it clear to him now, how many bowls of noodles have you eaten? ”
"Humph!" Andrew stepped forward and pointed at Ivan, "One is one, two is two, I ate a bowl of noodles today." ”
Ivan leaned back slightly, avoiding Andrew's hand, but his eyes looked straight at him, "You gave one bowl of money, ate two bowls of noodles, you don't have any money, right, I'll give it for you!" ”
Ding Ding Ding! ——
Andrew was furious, took out a handful of Jintongbao and sprinkled it on the ground, "See, I can afford to give as many bowls as I want, but if you eat a bowl of noodles, you will give a bowl of money." ”
"So much money" Ivan looked at the golden Jintongbao all over the ground, shook his head, looked at the officials and wealthy businessmen around him, and spread his hands, "He has so much money, but he is greedy for the little boss's money for a bowl of noodles."
"Isn't this bullying honest people?"
"You" Andrew pursed his lips, speechless, he felt a series of scrutinizing eyes on him, as if they were about to cut him with a thousand knives, to trample the reputation of the Wild family for hundreds of years into the dust.
There was a moment of silence in the interrogation room.
Andrew's chest heaved and he suddenly strode towards the owner of the powder shop, grabbing the placket of his clothes, "Tell me, are you an honest man?" ”
"I, I" The owner of the powder shop who was scared into a quail weakly avoided Andrew's gaze, "I am"
"Then you tell them, how many bowls of noodles did I eat? You tell the truth! Andrew snapped, "Do you say it, do you say it or not?" ”
He pulled out an ID tag.
"Heh, use the status of a nobleman to scare a poor, powder-selling person" Ivan's voice sounded, his expression seemed to be smiling, and he was playing with an identity card in his hand, "Noble, right?" Isn't it amazing to be a nobleman? Who the isn't?
"Boss, don't be afraid, say it loudly, how many bowls did he eat?"
One after another looked at the owner of the powder shop, including Andrew, who also looked at him with expectant eyes.
The boss trembled and couldn't speak
Ivan threw the identity card in his hand, "Boss, all the officials and wealthy businessmen here will make decisions for you and your family."
"Say it out loud, how many bowls?"
The owner of the noodle shop shook and closed his eyes, "Two bowls!" ”
Andrew closed his eyes in a dejected manner, and the corners of Ivan's mouth hooked "Huh"
"Hey"
"The Wild Family's 100-year-old reputation"
"It's ruined."
Hearing the sighs and ridicule of the officials and wealthy businessmen around him, Andrew only had one last thought in his heart, "I can't, let them ruin the reputation of the Wild family for a hundred years"
He walked up to Ivan: "What a wicked man you are! ”
"Oh?" Ivan showed a mocking smile on his face, and said sadly, "Little lord, you ate two bowls of noodles and only gave one bowl of money
"Why do you say that I am a wicked person?"
At this moment, Zhang Jichuan and Noris opened a non-existent door and entered the interrogation room, and several guards followed one step behind.
Andrew didn't notice it, he was bent on death, stared at Ivan, took out a knife that symbolized aristocratic manners, and said, "It's worse than evil, isn't it?" I'm worse than you! I'll show you now, how many bowls of noodles I have in my stomach! ”
With that, Andrew stabbed himself in the abdomen!
"Stop!" As soon as Nonis saw this scene when she appeared, she couldn't help but lose her complexion, and subconsciously exclaimed.
"Sister Norris?" Andrew was stunned and didn't poke it down.
Ivan, the fierce-looking man, and the officials and wealthy businessmen around him all changed their faces slightly.
"How?" Ivan's eyes flashed, "Did the little lord see the lord coming, do you think someone is supporting you?" ”
The fierce-looking man gritted his teeth, conjured a bowl like a trick, knelt down in front of Andrew, and took the bowl under his stomach, "Little lord, I believe you, I definitely don't owe him any money." But they don't believe it, there is only one way now
"For the sake of the reputation of the Wild family, please ask the little lord to have a caesarean section for powder!"
"Sister Norris" Andrew looked back at Noris with tears in his eyes and a resolute expression, "For the honor of the Wilder family, I have no other way"
After that, he will poke himself in the abdomen.
"Andrew, I said stop!" Noris teleported to Andrew and grabbed the knife in his hand.
After all, Andrew is still young after all, and his soul power has not yet reached the level of binding transcendent items, he is just an ordinary person, where can he snatch Norris, and he was instantly robbed of the knife in his hand.
"Sister Nonris" Andrew is in a hurry.
Noris shook her head, signaling that he didn't have to worry.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Ivan's face changed, and he spoke, "Does the lord plan to protect the little lord?" It's okay, isn't it just a bowl of noodles? As I said just now, I can help the little lord give it!
"The lord can take away the little lord now, and he will not stop him, but the reputation accumulated by the Wild family for hundreds of years is afraid that it will be ruined in one fell swoop."
Before Noris could speak, an official suddenly said, "Ms. Norris, although you are a lord, you can't protect the little lord like this, right?" He ate two bowls of noodles and only gave money for one bowl, which was also too bullying. ”
"Yes," said a wealthy merchant, "my lordship, the nobles are an example to our commoners, and if the lord insists on shielding the little lord, everyone will follow the same example in the future, and the trade in Alpine City will not be chaotic?" ”
"I also hope that the lord will focus on the overall situation and let the little lord test the powder by caesarean section!"
"yes, yes"
These people are trying to force Andrew to death, to give me a dismount, the evil of the human heart, how can this Nonis face like frost, and feel a piercing chill.
Her cold gaze swept over everyone, "Who dares to hurt Andrew?" ”
"Huh!" The corners of Ivan's mouth hooked, and he sneered, "The lord's words are not right, the little lord only gave one bowl of money after eating two bowls of noodles, we want to ask for fairness first, where can it be called harm?"
"Could it be that when the lord first came to Alpine City, he said that he wanted to give the whole city fairness, which was a?
"If the lord admits this, he can take the little lord away now.
"Heh, isn't it just a child who bullies people with his aristocratic status, how common it is, isn't it?"
Noris swore that if eyes could kill, Ivan would have been shot into a sieve. She took a deep breath and said, "The Wilder family values fairness, and so does Andrew. But fairness is not proven in such a way"
She looked at the owner of the noodle shop, "You said that Andrew ate two bowls of noodles and only gave money for one bowl, but there is evidence, and there is surveillance at the scene?" ”
"Huh!" Ivan replied for the owner of the flour shop, "Lord, this boss is only running a small shop, and it can't be smaller, how can it afford to be monitored." ”
Noris frowned and looked at one of the picket bureau officials, "Is there any extraordinary item in the Alpine City Picket Bureau that has the ability to go back in time?" ”
"Nope!" The officer bowed his head.
"This" Noris suddenly felt powerless, she didn't have such an extraordinary item, and there was no similar ability among the extraordinary items that could be rented in the same boat.
"There's always a transcendent item with the ability to detect lies, right?"
The official announcement still lowered his head, "No." ”
"You ......" Noris clenched her fists.
The fierce-looking man and Ivan looked at each other, took out a knife out of nowhere, and handed it to Andrew, "Little lord, it seems that the lord has no way to prove that you only ate a bowl of noodles." For the sake of the reputation of the Wilder family, you have to prove it to them."
Andrew took the knife.
"Andrew!" Nonis's face changed, and she was about to grab the knife.
"Sister Nonris, there's really no other way" Andrew's immature face was full of determination, "for home"
Before he could finish speaking, suddenly, a laugh rang out suddenly
"Heh, who says there's no other way?"
