After solving the time of stealing zongzi, Gu Rao thought of her food box, and asked with a glimmer of hope, "Did Aunt Bai come to return our food box today?" ”

Beno shook his head.

"Nope."

Gu Rao was a little angry.

"What's the matter with her? Didn't you say that it was returned to us yesterday? Last night, we waited for her for a while, and we didn't come to return it until today! ”

Shoot the case.

"We're going to get the food box back now."

-

At the door of the martial arts.

Beye knocked on the door, and Bai Yunju's voice came from inside the house.

"It's coming!"

Bai Yunju opened the door, and after seeing Beiye and Gu Rao, an impatience quickly crossed his eyes, and asked, "It turned out to be Beiye, is there something wrong?" ”

Gu Rao sneered.

"Aunt Bai, didn't you say yesterday that you went to your daughter's house to get the food box?"

"It's time to get the food box back, right?"

Bai Yunju said helplessly, "I went too late last night, they were already asleep, I was embarrassed to disturb them, so I came back empty-handed."

Gu Rao, "......"

Such a clumsy excuse, are they really stupid?

"Go get it now."

Her tone was unceremonious.

Bai Yunju frowned.

"Isn't it just a food box? How much money is it worth? It's all neighbors, don't make it too ugly. It's just that I will pay you back later, and it is not that I will not pay you back! ”

"As for urging twice in three days?"

"It's still a businessman, why are you so stingy?"

Her voice was so loud that passers-by and people who came to eat rice noodles in the casserole looked at her with strange eyes.

Gu Rao smiled angrily.

"You know we've pushed a few times, but we haven't paid attention to any of them. We overestimated your character before, and we shouldn't have lent you anything at all. ”

"I won't lend you anything again."

"It's true that the food box isn't worth a lot of money, but it's also my beloved thing. Even if it's not my beloved thing, why shouldn't others pay it back if they don't want to? ”

"That's it, if you haven't returned the food box before tonight, we'll go to your house and take something to pay off the debt."

After saying that, he pulled Beno away.

Bai Yunju snorted at the backs of Gu Rao and Bei Ye.

"What's the spirit?"

"The poor sour in the countryside, renting a house to do business, really thinking of himself as a rich man? A food box is so careful, it's really poor and sour! ”

"Smack-"

Slam the door shut.

Zhou Yan didn't know how long she had been watching the excitement at the door of her house, and waited for Bai Yunju to close the door before she walked up to Gu Rao and Bei Ye, and said in a slur voice, "I told you a long time ago, don't deal with that family, they don't have a good reputation in the entire Wild Boar Town." ”

"Your food box, I guess I'm not going to come back."

"Keep a long memory this time, and don't associate with them in the future."

Gu Rao nodded.

"Thank you Aunt Zhou for reminding me."

Zhou Yan smiled.

"What are you being polite to me?" He turned around and went back to the house, and when he came out, he took two jugs of wine in his hand and handed them to Besano.

"Last time, I didn't know that you were going to entertain guests, and when I went to your house for dinner, I still went empty-handed, these two pots of wine are home-brewed, you can take them back and drink them."

Besano wants to return it.

"No, you don't."

Zhou Yan insisted on sending it to him.

"Home-brewed wine is not worth much, so if you don't dislike it, take it. I still have a lot of clothes at home that I haven't washed, so I won't talk to you first. ”

After saying that, he turned around and went home.

Besino's choice but to accept the two jugs of wine.

Gu Rao was a little emotional.

"It's the same neighbor, how can there be such a big difference?"

Beno said, "I'll put the wine in the house first."

As soon as he turned around and went back to the house, Chen Zhong came happily.

"Boss Gu, there's news!"

Gu Rao was a little surprised.

"So fast?"

Chen Zhong patted his chest and said, "You can rest assured that I will do something!" I got up early in the morning today and asked all the people I met yesterday eating rice noodles in casserole. ”

Gu Rao asked, "Has anyone witnessed Li Shen stealing something?" ”

Chen Zhong nodded.

"Zhu Hui saw that Li Shen took advantage of everyone's inattention and went up to the second floor of your house, there were many people at that time, and he thought that Li Shen was a relative of you, so he didn't say anything."

"Liu De came in to eat casserole later, and when he came, he happened to see Li Shen coming down from the second floor of your house, with a bulging bag in his sleeves and chest."

"I told them that if they were willing to help you testify at the Yamen, you would definitely thank them well, and they agreed."

I'm a little embarrassed to say that.

"Boss Gu, I was so happy at the time, I didn't pay attention to proportions for a while, and made a decision for you, don't be angry with me for this."

Gu Rao was too late to be happy.

"You've done me so much, how could I be angry with you? Now that there are witnesses, I see that he is still so quibble, and I will go to the county government office with the minister to sue the official later. ”

Although Chen Zhong was a little afraid of officials, he still said angrily, "If you don't mind, I am willing to go to the county government with you as a witness." ”

Of course, Gu Rao didn't mind having one more person.

"Thank you very much."

"You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I'll cook you a bowl of rice noodles, what flavor do you want to eat? ”

Chen Zhong took out eight cents.

"Hot and sour rice noodles in a small pot."

Gu Rao didn't collect money.

"I won't charge money this time, you can go into the house and sit."

Chen Zhong smiled and took the money back.

"Then you're welcome."

-

After Gu Rao and Beiye had lunch, they closed the stall early, thinking that they might have to stay in Donghuang County for a few days, so they brought some salutes and went to the dock with Chen Zhong to take a boat to Donghuang County.

Li Shen, who had been hiding in the shadows, was completely panicked after seeing them leave by boat.

-

Li Shen waited at the gate of the academy for a long time, and immediately chased after seeing Bei Chengcai.

After seeing him, Bei Chengcai's brows furrowed, but he still pulled him into a deserted alley, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you coming to me at this time?" ”

"What if someone sees me?"

Li Shen said nervously, "I'm done, Boss Don't and Boss Gu know that the person who stole the things is me, and now that they have gone to report to the official, I will definitely be arrested!" ”

Don't become a talent, look at him with a look that is not enough to achieve and more to lose.

"Didn't you say no one saw you steal?"

Li Shen told the story of yesterday when he couldn't help but want to take advantage, but not only did he not take advantage of it, but he showed his stuff, and finally complained about Zhang San and Chen Zhong's meddling.

"Both of them saw me in the store yesterday and chatted with me a few words, and when the time comes, I will definitely not be able to quibble, and I will not be able to get rid of suspicion."

Don't become a talent, scolding Li Shen to death in his heart.

Idiot!

"They only saw you, and they didn't see you stealing from the second floor, what are you afraid of? As long as you don't admit it, they can't find anything in your house, and they can't convict you. ”

"At most, it will be released after a few days."

Li Shen hesitated a little, "As long as you don't admit it, is it okay?" Still anxious and nervous, "Why don't we return the things?" ”

"It's not good for us to make a big fuss."

"I listened to your arrangement, went to their house to steal things, only took two taels of silver, and gave you all the jewelry I stole from their house, don't you want me to be guilty alone!"
