Chapter 3 Finding Someone
"In the Xia County Ya case, you sold the poisonous forbidden fruit in the mountains on the street, what is the problem with taking you back for interrogation?" Without waiting for the man in black to say his identity, Shen Junchen interrupted him.
As soon as he heard that it was someone from the county government, the father was frightened, and pulled Zhao Qianqian in front of her, trembling and begging: "My lord's forgiveness, she is a fool, she was sick a few days ago, and she has no money for treatment, and this morning she suddenly ran out of breath, Xiaomin thought she was dead, and dragged her outside the city to prepare for burial, and suddenly it rained heavily, and she came back, who knew that she was not dead, and she ran to the mountains to pick these fruits and bring them back, for the sake of her being a fool, don't worry about her, spare her!" ”
Shen Junchen looked at Zhao Qianqian for a long time and asked, "Are you a fool?" ”
Zhao Qianqian said with a nonchalant face: "They all call me a stupid girl!" ”
The people watching the excitement next to him whispered.
"Let's just say that this fool can't eat what he takes, this official has come to arrest people!"
"You say this government won't really deal with a fool, right?"
"If a fool knows what he can do and what he can't do, he won't be called a fool!"
"You said that this stupid girl is really pitiful, I thought she was dead in the morning, this life was just picked up, and I met the government again, I'm afraid it's over!"
Shen Junchen listened to the discussion and said: "Everyone said that this little girl is indeed a fool, but in his opinion, except for a little dirty face, he can't see that he is a fool at all, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the dirty things on his face are deliberately paste, although his hair is messy, but it is clean, and the fabric and workmanship of the clothes inside the coat are exquisite that he has never seen, and it is impossible for a beggar to afford to wear such a good clothes." ”
The man in white broke the silence insisted on by both sides: "Junchen, forget it, don't worry about a little girl, just warn it!" ”
Then he solemnly said to Zhao Qianqian: "This fruit really can't be eaten, if you let other people eat it by mistake, it will kill people, you will take these fruits away for you, and you can't pick them again in the future!" ”
"Thank you, Childe!" Zhao Qianqian arched his hand.
Shen Junchen said with a cold face: "Take it back!" ”
The man in white gave the man in black a look, and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you quickly put away the fruit and bring it back!" ”
"Yes!"
The man in black replied, hurriedly put away the kiwi on the ground, picked it up and left.
"Don't you understand bringing people and things back with you?" Shen Junchen's voice was a little colder, and it sent chills down people's backs when they heard it.
The old man was frightened, and crawled to Shen Junchen's horse on his knees and kowtowed and begged: "My lord, spare the stupid girl, she has a bad brain, she just escaped death, I will tell her not to go to the mountains to pick fruits in the future, please spare her!" ”
Shen Junchen jumped off the horse and helped his father up, and said in a cold voice: "It's just a routine inquiry, if there is no problem, it will be put back soon, the old man doesn't have to worry!" ”
Zhao Qianqian saw his father kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to others, so he hurriedly went over to support his father and said, "Don't worry, Dad, it'll be fine, I'll be back soon!" ”
turned around and picked up the backpack, touched Xiao Wu's head and followed Shen Junchen and his party towards the city.
Behind him, two large beggars looked at each other and hooked the corners of their mouths. Behind them, two little beggars of three or four years old were secretly carrying things in their pockets.
After Zhao Qianqian followed the people from the yamen, the old man felt uncomfortable, and tears kept falling, he turned around and took Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, walked a few steps, turned his head and said to the two older beggars: "You go and ask for something to eat and bring some back to Xiao Si and Xiao Wu." ”
The two big beggars agreed, and after watching Daddy take a little four and five away, the two walked towards the city.
Zhao Qianqian followed Shen Junchen to the yamen, and it was not Shen Junchen who interrogated her, but the county magistrate in the county ya, the county magistrate's name is Fan Jinglu, he is a Qing official, he has served as the Qingyun County Commander for ten years, and the cases he has handled have not been redressed, and the people call him a Qing official.
Where the county order interrogated Zhao Qianqian today, it was also interrogated according to the regular process, and there was no intimidation, Zhao Qianqian repeated what he said to his father in the morning, if the county master went to ask his father, he had to be right. She focused on saying that a traveler rescued her, gave her a dress and left, because she was hungry and wanted to go to the mountains to find food, she picked it when she saw it, and she ate a lot of it without it, so she thought about bringing some back to her father and the little beggar who had been taking care of her, and felt that it was a lot, and wanted to change it to silver, but she was stopped by Shen Junchen before she started selling.
Sure enough, the county order asked someone to pass on the father to question, of course, he didn't ask in front of Zhao Qianqian, they all matched it one by one, and sent a few people to check the past of the father's group of beggars.
has been begging in this city for ten years, the stupid girl named Zhao Qianqian in front of him was picked up by his father for ten years, and he was a fool when he picked it up, and it was confirmed that he was not a spy, but the stupid girl named Zhao Qianqian in front of him didn't seem to be stupid, it should be related to her illness.
After checking the county order, he felt that there was no problem, and looked at Shen Junchen, who had been listening to the sidelines, to ask for the results.
Shen Junchen didn't have any expression on his face, he kept staring at Zhao Qianqian from beginning to end, as if he wanted to find some answer from her eyes, and Zhao Qianqian's eyes didn't have any ups and downs, but this look seemed to be a little inconsistent with her age, and no suspicious signs were found.
After a while, Shen Junchen spoke: "But it depends on the order of the county!" ”
As soon as Zhao Qianqian walked out of the yamen, Fan County ordered the others to retreat and asked, "Yi Xian's nephew, see that this woman is the person you are looking for above?" ”
Shen Junchen was silent for a moment and then said: "The time matches the birthmark between the eyebrows, but the age does not match, it shouldn't be the person we are looking for!" ”
Shen Junchen then said: "The master has never been able to let go of the things of ten years ago, I feel that it is his responsibility, if the older I get, the more I can't let go, I often go out of the palace to find the little master, and my body is getting thinner and thinner, the emperor ordered me to secretly investigate, I hope that the grandfather can do it in his lifetime!" ”
Zhao Qianqian came out of the yamen and prepared to see his father, today his father must be in a hurry, and he has to pass a few streets from the yamen to the beggar's nest.
Qinggo county town is a square of the whole county, it is the largest one in the county seat of Qianqiu country, divided into the east city, the west city, the south city, the north city, the east city gate to the west city gate has 60 li, the south city gate to the north city gate has 60 li.
Zhao Qianqian heard a familiar voice speaking when he passed through a remote alley: "Hand over the money and steamed buns, otherwise Lao Tzu will break your legs, and Lao Tzu will beat you once when he sees you in the future, and pay Lao Tzu a monthly protection fee in the future, this is the rule!" ”
Zhao Qianqian heard that this was the bastard Ling Feng in their beggar's nest, thirteen years old this year, seven years ago, his father found him dying on the side of the road at the East City Gate, and there was a Ye Qianfan who was one year younger than him next to Ling Feng, the two were full of injuries, and they were taken back to treat half a month, and the two gradually got better, but although the two children were small, they were very good at using the means, and the original owner was stupid and the little four and five were not less bullied by the two of them.
Zhao Qianqian walked behind Ling Feng and said coldly: "Give him back the things!" ”
Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan were facing away from Zhao Qianqian, and they were startled when they heard the voice, and when they turned around, they saw that it was Zhao Qianqian, who clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, and said: "Stinky fool, you are a human or a ghost, you don't make a sound when you walk, are you so stupid that Lord Yama won't accept you?" Why are you so ghostly? Hurry up and get out of the ...... for Lao Tzu."
Zhao Qianqian didn't wait for Ling Feng to finish speaking, and his voice was a little colder: "I said to return the things to him!" ”
Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan listened to Zhao Qianqian's words, their backs were a little numb, in the past, stupid girls never dared to talk back to them, let alone fight back, today this fool is afraid that he is crazy, and he dares to shout at them.
Ling Feng beckoned to Zhao Qianqian's head with a punch, and just as the fist was about to hit Zhao Qianqian, his whole body flew out for several meters, lying on the ground for a long time without moving, just when Ye Qianfan thought he was dead, he covered his stomach and climbed up.
"You, you...... Are you crazy? My own brother is also on the foot? Ye Qianfan saw that Ling Feng was kicked out, and he didn't dare to step forward to make a move, so he stammered in fright.
Zhao Qianqian said impatiently: "I'll say it one last time, return the things to him, if you dare to collect protection money in the future, you won't be serving like this today!" ”
"You wait for me!" Ling Feng put down the cruel words and gave Ye Qianfan a look, and Ye Qianfan slowly retreated to Ling Feng.
Just as they turned to slip away, a figure flashed, and the two of them knelt on the ground in unison, and they knelt in front of the child who had been robbed of the silver and steamed buns, and the child was so frightened that he retreated.
Zhao Qianqian stepped forward and said, "Do I do it, or do you hand it over yourself?" ”
The two did not admit that they were scared by Zhao Qianqian, took out the silver and steamed buns from their arms, handed them to the little beggar and said, "We are not afraid of you, we are letting you!" ”
Seeing that the child didn't dare to come forward to pick it up, Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan threw the silver and steamed buns on the ground and ran away.
Zhao Qianqian picked up the steamed buns and silver on the ground and returned them to the child, and after inquiring, he learned that the child was asked by his father and mother to come out to buy steamed buns, and was tricked here by Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan to rob him of his silver and steamed buns.
Zhao Qianqian sent the child back, the child's father and mother are in the rouge gouache business, today there are guests in the store, the child shouted that he was hungry to buy steamed buns, he went out for a long time and did not come back, the adults were in a hurry to look everywhere, fortunately Zhao Qianqian sent the child back.
Zhao Qianqian glanced at the things placed in their store, then looked at the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper lady, and asked with a smile: "The location of your store is so good, business must be very good, right?" ”
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed and replied: "I am not satisfied with Engong, the business of our store is not very good, and a family of three can barely make ends meet!" Although this location is good, there are many girls in Yihong Courtyard and the Manxiang Garden next to it, but almost none of them come to our kind of small shop. It is the largest rouge gouache shop in Qingyun City, and the rich families in Qingyun City also go to his house to buy it! ”
Zhao Qian smiled and said, "Do you two believe me?" In just one hour, I can sell half of your stuff! ”
The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper glanced at each other and said, "Engong Mo is not joking, how can this be sold half in an hour?" On average, we can't sell half of the goods in the store in a month! ”
Zhao Qianqian continued: "Can you let me try? What if I sell half of the things here in an hour, and give me a share of the profits, excluding your capital, and if I don't sell half of them, I don't want a penny? You don't suffer anyway! ”
The shopkeeper and his wife thought to themselves that this gentleman looked like a half-grown child, how could he do business? Didn't you ask for money by saving the child?
