Ergou made an appointment with Mr. Chen, and when he got out of school in the afternoon, Mr. Chen came to pick him up.

Moreover, when he went out today, Wang Su also said to the old man Chen, in order to celebrate the first day of school for Ergou, Wang Su contributed money and efforts, personally bought vegetables, cooked, and had a meal of mutton tonight.

It's not easy to say how much Wang Su gloated about in it, but Ergou doesn't care.

Anyway, it's already at the bottom, no matter how bad it is, you can still eat mutton in school, but you can glutton.

I just don't know that this big fat boy can't stand it after eating mutton in the summer.

Old Man Chen was also happy and nodded, so Ergou looked forward to the stars and the moon, and hoped that Old Man Chen would come over to take him home earlier, so that he could have a delicious meal of mutton.

Thinking of this, Ergou wiped the saliva that was about to drip to the ground from the corner of his mouth, looked at the road, and muttered: Grandpa, come quickly!

It's just that Ergou Zuo waited and waited, waited for a long time, and waited until the students in the cold study were almost finished, but he still didn't wait for Mr. Chen.

Ergou sat on the steps in front of the cold study, holding his head, waiting a little annoying, and finally waited for Lao Liu.

"Two dogs!"

Lao Liu saw Ergou from afar, so he shouted loudly.

When Ergou heard someone calling him, he turned his head to look and saw that it was Lao Liu, so he got up and ran over.

"Grandpa Liu! Why are you coming to pick me up? What about my grandfather? ”

Lao Liu wanted to speak and stopped, he didn't know how to explain, so he simply didn't explain, his face changed, he covered up the past, and said with a smile: "Your grandfather has something to do, and he can't come today, so he asked me to pick you up." ”

"Oh." Ergou didn't see the unnaturalness on Lao Liu's face, so he didn't have any suspicions, and obediently took Lao Liu's hand and returned to his home in Shiliu Town.

As a result, when I arrived at home, there was only one person who was busy cooking Wang Su.

"Uncle Liu is good." Wang Su saw Lao Liu coming back with Ergou, and asked with some doubts: "Ergou, where is your grandfather?" ”

Lao Liu and Wang Su also know each other, but they are not too familiar, sometimes Old Man Chen wants to buy something, Wang Su volunteers to go to Lao Liu's store to bring it.

Ergou was also a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Isn't Grandpa at home?" ”

Then he turned his head and asked Lao Liu: "Grandpa Liu?" Where did my grandfather go? ”

Lao Liu smiled and said to Ergou: "You kid, didn't I tell you just now?" Your grandfather has gone out on some errands and will be back later. ”

Ergou didn't doubt him, and when he smelled the fragrance, he went to the pot to fish for the stewed mutton.

Lao Liu gave Wang Su a look, Wang Su frowned, although he was a little puzzled, he still followed Lao Liu out of the courtyard.

Uncle Liu: Is this? Where did Uncle Chen go?

As soon as Wang Su came out, he found that Lao Liu was no longer relaxed in the courtyard just now, but looked anxious.

Wang Su asked, "Uncle Liu, what's wrong?" What's going on? ”

He could feel that the reason why Lao Liu was anxious was related to Old Man Chen.

Lao Liu said in a little panic: "Xiao Wang, something is wrong. Lao Chen was arrested and arrested soon? ”

"Arrested and arrested?" Wang Su frowned, surprised, and asked with some confusion.

He knows what kind of person Mr. Chen is, to put it nicely, it is called abiding by the law and never causing trouble, and to put it ugly, it is timid.

Not to mention breaking the law and discipline, even if he walks in the city, he doesn't dare to spit anywhere, for fear that he will accidentally spit on others and cause trouble.

It was precisely because Wang Su understood Old Man Chen's personality that he was deeply surprised that Old Man Chen was arrested and arrested.

Wang Su asked, "What's going on?" Uncle Liu, tell me about it carefully. ”

So Lao Liu concisely told Wang Su what happened to him, and Wang Su frowned after hearing this, and realized that something was wrong.

Theft?

How could Uncle Chen have anything to do with the theft?

Even if he really had something to do with the theft, couldn't he be a criminal? At best, it's an eyewitness.

But if it was just a witness, he was arrested at noon and taken away, and now it's almost dark, why hasn't the yamen put Uncle Chen back?

Something is wrong......

The reason why Lao Liu said this to Wang Su was because he also sensed that something was wrong.

Old Man Chen shouldn't have been back for so long.

Even Lao Liu felt that something was wrong, let alone Wang Su?

No, I'll have to take a trip to Pingtong.

Wang Su immediately decided, since something was wrong, then he had to go and take a look, so as not to have any problems.

Seeing Lao Liu's anxious face, Wang Su said with relief: "Don't worry, Uncle Liu, I'll go to Pingtong now to see what Uncle Chen's situation is now." ”

Uncle Chen nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll trouble you, Xiao Wang." Alas, I heard Lao Chen say that you kid has an idea. ”

Mr. Chen and Lao Liu grew up together since childhood, and they have a deep friendship and know the roots, so Mr. Chen did not hide it from Lao Liu, and sometimes talked about a few words about Wang Su, all of which were praises.

This is also the reason why Lao Liu came to Wang Su for help, he can still see that Wang Su has some ability and knows how to be sophisticated.

Wang Su just nodded when he heard Lao Liu's praise, didn't say too much greetings, and asked Lao Liu to take care of the second dog before leaving, Lao Liu also patted his chest and promised, let Wang Su just go and see Old Man Chen, everything has him.

"Ergou, you have a good meal with your grandfather Liu at home first, and I'll be back later."

"Oh!" The second dog took a piece of sheep's head in his mouth and agreed casually, but immediately felt that something was wrong.

His grandfather hasn't come back yet, and now Uncle Wang has run out again.

Today, one by one, why is it so strange?

Ergou couldn't figure it out, but the mutton in his mouth was chewing and chewing, and he always felt that it was not so fragrant and lacked a little taste.

-------------------------------------

Wang Su arrived at the yamen of Pingtong City, looked for a quick catch, and asked, "Good master, dare to ask if there is an old man arrested today?" I'm his nephew and want to see him. ”

This catch is on the night shift, when Wang Su came, he was napping, he was disturbed by his dream, his face was unhappy, and he was about to have a seizure, but he saw Wang Su secretly stuffing a grain of broken silver over.

The errand catcher's eyes were straight all of a sudden, and he weighed it in his hand, he was a small catcher at the bottom, and he usually didn't have any oil and water to fish, such a grain of silver, almost a month's salary, naturally smiled, and everything was easy to say.

It doesn't matter if it's a small ghost or a big ghost, as long as he is rich, no matter how powerful the ghost is, he can be called a donkey and grind for people.

Of course, money here is not necessarily just money......

Catcher smiled and said, "Yes." One was just caught this afternoon and is now in prison. You said you are his nephew, please report his name, and I can confirm it. ”

It's one thing to catch money quickly, and I don't dare to be too accommodating.

The main thing is that Peng Cong has explained, and the old man Chen has to eat and drink well, so that he dares to be within the scope of his authority, and he is a little overstep.

If Old Man Chen was told to be strictly guarded, he really wouldn't dare to collect money and let people in.

"Chen Degui."

Quickly took out a roster, matched the name of Old Man Chen, and took Wang Su in.

"Chen Degui?"

"Huh!" Old man Chen, who lived alone in a cell, squatted in the corner of the wall to draw circles, and when he heard someone calling for him, he immediately got up and asked, "Poor master?" How? Can I go? ”

Catch Kuai smiled and said, "What are you going to go?" The case hasn't been investigated yet? What's the matter, you are still not happy to greet you with good wine and food? ”

Old Man Chen said: "Alas, the main reason is that I still have a doll at home, and I can't rest assured." ”

"Don't worry, it will only be found out in a day or two at most, and you can go back then. We don't want you here yet, we still have to serve you here. Catcher said with a smile, "Look, who is coming to see you?" ”

Wang Su came over at this time, and Old Man Chen immediately stuck to the cell door, poked his hands out, held Wang Su, and said, "Xiao Wang, why are you here?" ”

Wang Su said: "Uncle Chen, I heard that Uncle Liu said that you were arrested, so I couldn't rest assured, so I came to see you." ”

Seeing that the two did know each other, it should be the uncle and nephew, so they stopped staying, knowing the sophistication of the people, and said with a smile: "Have a good chat with your uncle and nephew, I'll go and wait outside the door first, don't bother." ”

Wang Su thanked the catcher, the other party smiled and waved his hand, can you be unhappy if you have received the money?

When the arrest was about to go away, Wang Su asked, "Uncle Chen, what the hell is going on?" ”

Old Man Chen was originally the one who was frightened, but at this time, Wang Su was worried, and he became the one who comforted people.

He patted Wang Su's hand and said, "Xiao Wang, don't worry about it. It's the one who sold it to me, I heard that the messenger said that it might be a Jiangyang thief who ran over from the north, and they are now sending someone to arrest it. It's not that the poor master is afraid that the Jiangyang thief will know that it is me who revealed his whereabouts, and then come to look for my bad luck, so that I can live in this cell first, so that the thief will not find him. ”

After speaking, Old Man Chen was still afraid that Wang Su would not believe it, so he pointed to the wine and food on the table in the cell and said, "You see, the poor master is quite good, and he entertains me with good wine and food." Hey, that's pretty jolly!"

When Old Man Chen held Wang Su's hand, Wang Su cut his wrist without moving, checked his pulse, and everything was normal, indicating that Old Man Chen was indeed invited over, and he was relieved.

But he still didn't feel right.

Although it is not uncommon to worry about the retaliation of witnesses and the like by fugitives, and then protect them, Wang Su has done a lot of things.

But Wang Su had never seen anyone protect the witnesses, and they were held in a cell.

It's not like protection, it's like ......

Captivity.

But this is good wine and good food, and Wang Su can't figure out why.
