Chapter Twenty-Five: Outside the Horse
"Who are you? How to testify? The shop asked with a frown.
"It's the master of Qingshan Academy, today I am resting, and I came over when I saw a bustle, but I didn't expect to invite this misfortune, this piece of iron is the evidence of stealing children, please ask the master to arrest people." The scholar shook his head and sighed.
The shopkeeper took the iron sheet and looked at it, there were still blood stains on the iron, and then glanced at the scholar's bleeding hand, and called a shopkeeper to ask him to take the scholar to the pharmacy to bandage it, and bring it back after bandaging, this is a witness.
Seeing the scholar and his subordinates leaving, the head of the shop walked to the bookstore and squatted down in front of the guy, and said with a smile: "Let's not say whether you are a thief or not, but the iron piece for stealing is yours, right?" ”
The bookstore guy's face quickly turned pale, he was indeed in the same group with the gang of thieves before, but after his sister-in-law was favored by the outside, he began to work alone.
In fact, the head of the shop recognized who this kid was at a glance, he had been in this position for more than ten years, and the county master had changed two or three times, that is, he was still a rock-solid position at the head of the shop, and these ten years were not in vain.
It's just that he can't tell the identity of auspicious people now, and there is another master from Qingshan Academy who came out to testify in front of everyone's eyes, it seems that this kid is a little lucky, I don't know what that grandfather will do.
The grandfather has many sons and grandchildren, and the children and grandchildren of those concubines are always arrogant and domineering, and they have caused a lot of trouble, but he has not taken the grandfather's silver.
As soon as the shopkeeper of Hanzhuang Qianzhuang heard the words of the catcher and heard the auspicious name, he understood in his heart that the silver of the Ping'an family had been stolen, but his ears were false, and he hurriedly followed the catcher to the scene.
At a glance, I saw that the Xiang family was standing there neatly except for peace, especially the auspicious one, who also stepped on the chest of the thief.
"These people came to Qianzhuang today to exchange the silver, I can testify, and the silver is still engraved with the word Hanzhuang," the shopkeeper took the silver in Jixiang's hand and looked at it and said quickly.
The head catcher glanced at the shopkeeper, the dignified shopkeeper of the money bank would never lie, then this kid really has two hundred taels of silver on him, but he is still dressed like this with so much silver, what is the situation.
The bookstore guy was arrested and was about to be taken away, Ji Xiang glanced at his father with a weak heart, made a gesture, turned around and followed behind the catcher, he was going to find silver, and there was still a hundred taels missing.
At this moment, Old Man Xiang didn't want to talk anymore, so he handed Fubao to Grandma Xiang, and asked Fugui to go back with his family first, and he followed Jixiang over to have a look.
They didn't notice a carriage stopping on the side, and there was a noble man sitting in the carriage, who glanced at the old man Xiang, and said slowly: "That hundred-year-old ginseng belongs to theirs." ”
"Yes, my lord, the shopkeeper Wang spent a full two thousand taels of silver, and today they are here to exchange the silver tickets of one thousand taels for a small amount of silver tickets." The coachman replied.
"The one called Jixiang really has the strength, the shopkeeper Wang said well, you send someone to follow quietly, be sure to arrest those thieves." The noble prince said lazily.
"Yes, sir, will you go back now?" The coachman asked.
"Go back, speed up." The noble son looked at the box in his hand, it was a mountain ginseng that could save his mother's life, and he had to send it back quickly.
Besides, outside Wang Yuan, someone had already reported to him, telling him that Tian Fuzi had accepted another student today, and he was unhappy in his heart, you must know that no matter whether it is a child student or a talent, there is only one first place.
Originally, he was unhappy that Tian Fuzi accepted other students, but that child was a distant relative of Tian Fuzi, so he could only endure it, but now that there is one more person competing with his grandson for the ranking, he can be happy in his heart.
This Master Tian, don't look at him resigning and returning to his hometown, but the emperor of the imperial city is still very good to him, and even gave him ten thousand taels of silver, and even the opening of that school is also the handiwork of the emperor Lao'er.
So where did the emperor Lao'er let him go back to his hometown, but asked him to resign and return to his hometown on the surface, but secretly let him cultivate talents, so he tried his best to let his only grandson worship Master Tian as Mr.
"Outside the staff, the bookstore shopkeeper asks to see." The butler walked in, bent over, and said.
"Let him in."
Ma Yuanwai was about to stand up, but the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to help, and it took all his strength to help his own staff stand up, but the staff was too fat
"Outside, the brother of your concubine has offended the guest again today, and it's useless for me to say anything now, he doesn't even look at me." The bookstore shopkeeper angrily complained.
"Someone came to buy a book today, what kind of book did they buy?"
The outsider's mind turned, and he thought of the description of the messenger, a large family of people, who looked extremely poor, and actually had to provide for two children to study.
"Outside the staff, I bought books for students such as Bagu Wen, as well as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." The bookstore shopkeeper felt strange, how could he care about what books people bought today.
"The people who came to buy books are not old and young, and they are dressed in shabby, so the guys have to kick people out." The clerk asked again.
The bookstore shopkeeper was stunned, how did the bookstore know what happened to the outsiders, and at the same time, there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, saying that the use of people is not suspicious, what do you mean by secretly monitoring me.
"Grandpa, you're right, that family looks poor on the surface, but they can buy books with one hundred and fifty taels of silver." The staff replied respectfully.
Ma Yuanwai glanced at the bookstore shopkeeper meaningfully, just now he was a foreign minister, and now he has become a grandfather, and it seems that he is still interested.
"I see, you can go back." The horseman waved his hand and said lightly.
The bookstore shopkeeper knew that he had come in vain today, so he turned around and left after respectfully, but he calculated in his heart that he was so spoiled by his concubine and allowed his concubine's brother to behave indiscriminately.
But if the business is not good every month, it is he who eats the top of the row, and if he continues like this, he will eventually be dismissed, in this case, it is better for him to find an opportunity to quit this job first.
Fortunately, he is not a slave, but a good person, just a shopkeeper hired by outsiders, thinking of this, the pace of going back is a lot faster.
Ma Yuan looked at the shopkeeper who walked out, and there was a hint of gloom in his eyes, he accidentally showed his mouth today, or deliberately showed his mouth, just to see if this shopkeeper was loyal to him.
But it seems ......
It's just that the brother of the thirteen-room concubine should really clean up, don't think that no one knows that he is greedy for ink and silver in the bookstore, and he will spit out everything he eats for me.
"Master, the county government is here, and I have something to do with you." The butler ran in again.
Ma Yuanwai frowned deeply, it was his concubine who was causing trouble outside again, I really regretted bringing back so many aunts and concubines, if it weren't for the poor health of his wife and the difficulty of his heirs, he would not have only one grandson left.
