Chapter 24: The Silver Is Stolen
Old Man Xiang was just about to take the oil paper bag, but Fu Bao began to move, and called softly to Old Man Xiang: "Master...... Hug ......"
The old man Xiang was about to take the book, and the little granddaughter would call grandpa, which was an unexpected surprise, and he hurriedly motioned to Fugui to take the book, and he picked up Xiao Fubao.
Fu Bao was held in the hands of the old man Xiang and walked out, and her spiritual power radiated again, she wanted to protect the silver that her grandfather tied to her waist, it was a huge amount of money, and she must not be stolen by that guy.
Sure enough, the guy followed the old man Xiang out, and the shopkeeper ignored him after calling twice, making the shopkeeper angry, waving his hand to let his people look at the bookstore, and he was going to go to the horseman to complain.
"Xiangchu, take Xiangshan to see where your uncle went, and when I saw him, I said we were going home." Old Man Xiang said with a suppressed anger.
Xiangchu nodded, pulled Xiangshan and walked forward quickly, Grandma Xiang shook her head with a smile, and took her rich sister-in-law and sister-in-law to the dim sum shop, and bought some of all kinds of preserved dim sum fruits.
Fugui was carrying a large bag of books, and the old man Xiang hugged Fubao and walked forward slowly, Fugui also bought a few pieces of caramel along the way, each child had one, and even Fubao had a small half piece of caramel in his mouth.
Everyone was having fun, and Xiangshan ran over, with a nervous face: "Master...... Father...... Front ......"
Old Man Xiang's smiling face immediately darkened, needless to say, something must have happened to the youngest son Jixiang, hugged Fubao tightly, and quickly ran forward.
Sure enough, I saw a bunch of people in front of me from a distance, and the people standing on the outermost stood on tiptoe and looked inside, but they couldn't see anything, but the Xiang family heard the auspicious angry voice.
"It's you who cut through my coat and stole my money, and take out my money, otherwise I will send you to see the official, and you won't take it...... Where did you hide your money? ”
The Xiang family sighed in their hearts, it was five hundred taels of silver, but it was divided into two parts, respectively placed in the rich and auspicious coats, and the two of them were carefully hung on their waists.
Fugui's first reaction was to touch his blanket with one free hand, but fortunately, the blanket was still there, and the three silver ingots were still in the blanket.
And the old man Xiang handed Fu Bao to Grandma Xiang and wanted to squeeze in, but Fu Bao hugged the neck of the old man Xiang to death, if you dare not hug me, I will cry to you to see the stubborn look, and make the old man Xiang love and anxious.
Just when Old Man Xiang's mind was on Fu Bao and Ji Xiang, a hand had already stretched out, and there was a sharp blade sharpened by a small piece of iron in the palm of his hand.
You must know that the so-called blanket is also made of cloth, as long as it is lightly scratched by a sharp knife, the blanket will naturally fall off.
As long as the thief is fast enough, he can steal the blanket unconsciously, and if he encounters more than two thieves, they will also be smart to transfer the silver in the blanket.
Fu Bao's spiritual power kept turning, and just when the thief's blade was about to scratch the old man's coat, the middle-aged man on the side didn't know why his feet didn't step on it, and he crooked it.
This crookedness fell directly on the thief's body, and the thief's hand instinctively slashed, and the blade cut through the back of the person's hand, and suddenly, the blood flowed out directly, making the person scream in fright.
The screams focused everyone's attention, and the thief was in a hurry, and turned around to run, but Fugui's eyes were sharp, and he recognized this person as a guy from the bookstore at a glance.
Looking at the blade in his hand, and then at the position where he left his father, Fugui still didn't understand anything, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Catch the thief." ”
The man who was scratched by the blade also came to his senses, it turned out that this person was a thief, and wanted to steal his purse, but it happened that he did not stand firmly, but the back of his hand was cut.
Ignoring the blood still flowing from the back of his hand, he grabbed the front placket of the guy's shirt and shouted: "Report to the official, who can report to the official for the next person and catch the thief." ”
The guy didn't care about pushing people away, secretly threw away the small piece of iron first, and then waited for the opportunity to run away, even if he was caught, he was not afraid, his sister was the favorite of the outsider.
It's just that such a good opportunity to make a fortune was missed, it was really bad to go out, and glared at the old man Xiang fiercely, and said in his heart that you are lucky today.
The person who bleed was obviously also a scholar, where could he earn a bookstore guy, and his hands were still bleeding, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't use his strength at all, and he fell backwards as soon as he was pushed by the guy.
Fortunately, there were many people standing behind, and everyone blocked it, so that the scholar did not fall, looking at the guy's triumphant appearance, his heart, liver and lungs hurt.
Just as the man wanted to swagger away, he was kicked from behind, and then an auspicious voice came: "No wonder my silver is not in the blanket, it turns out that you have an accomplice who transferred the silver." ”
The guy was proud, and was kicked out by Jixiang's fierce kick, and at the same time, a purse fell out of the placket, and the purse was bulging and fell to the ground very conspicuously.
Ji Xiang ran over, picked up the purse on the ground, opened it, and saw that there was a silver ingot of one hundred taels in it, and it was estimated that there were twenty or thirty taels of finely broken silver.
"This is my money, and you are indeed a thief."
Jixiang turned his head again, kicked the bookstore guy, and then stepped on the guy's chest, and stepped on the foot board hard.
"Fart, it's my silver." The guy yelled anxiously, and at the same time his heart was also empty, this was secretly given to him by his sister, if it was known by the outside, his sister would not be able to eat and walk around.
The catcher got the news and rushed over, everyone got out of the way, and the catcher saw the thief who was trampled on the ground by auspiciousness at a glance.
"Why are you fighting in the streets?" The headcatcher asked sharply.
"Poor master, my name is auspicious, this person is a thief, and he stole two hundred taels of silver from me, one is a hundred taels of silver ingots, and the other is one hundred taels of broken silver." Jixiang said.
"Do you have two hundred taels of silver?"
The head catcher looked at Ji Xiang suspiciously, a short fight, and a patch, if you can have two coins of silver, it has been calculated, and it is two hundred taels, so you have to lose your mind.
Just as he was about to speak, Ji Xiang shouted again: "The poor master can go to Hanzhuang Qianzhuang and ask the shopkeeper if I went to exchange the silver this morning." ”
The head catcher was stunned, Hanzhuang Qianzhuang, that is the money village of an imperial city uncle, could it be that what this kid said is true, turned around and glanced at a catcher, and left quickly.
At the same time, the scholar who was bleeding from his hand came over, and in his uninjured hand he was still holding a piece of iron, and he walked up to the head of the shop and made a gesture, and said:
"Poor master, I can prove that this person is a thief, this is the crime tool he wants to cut my purse, but I just didn't stand firm, and he cut my hand."
