Chapter 229: Catch the thief
And if she can master water and land transportation, no matter what business she does, it will be hugely profitable.
Not to mention anything else, even if she doesn't sell things, she can make a lot of money just by doing water and land transportation, Shen Yingniang feels that she will have to make a fortune in the future just by thinking about it.
However, these have not yet been realized, and it is somewhat appetizing to say it now, so Shen Yingniang simply didn't tell Yue Lingjun, and planned to tell Yue Lingjun and surprise him after the matter was almost completed!
Suddenly, Shen Yingniang thought of something, looked at Yue Lingjun and said, "By the way, Xianggong, we seem to have forgotten Shopkeeper Luo there, Master He won't kill him, right?" ”
If things hadn't been done so desperately today, Shen Yingniang wouldn't have had this idea at all.
Master He is involved in the business of the imperial court, and there are not too many people who know about this matter, and Shopkeeper Luo obviously didn't know it before, but now because of himself, the other party knows, and Master He will definitely not let him go.
Seeing this, Yue Lingjun comforted: "It's okay to do anything, it has nothing to do with you, just like you said, you can't live if you do your own evil, so far, it is they who have bullied first, and they are to blame, and the same is true for the shopkeeper Luo, we just fight back, why bother with him living or dead." ”
Shen Yingniang's heart was surging when Yue Lingjun said this, yes, what does it have to do with them?
Shen Yingniang just mentioned it casually, she really didn't care much about the fate of the shopkeeper Luo, or the same sentence, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, you deserve it!
An outsider, it is really not worth it, and he is not qualified to disturb the atmosphere between the young couple, the two of them just have a match or not, you and I will say a word, and drive the carriage back to Huaxian.
However, I just arrived on the street of Huaxian County, and now the sun is also rising, it is noon, many restaurants and inns are full, Shen Yingniang's stomach is also hungry, thinking about whether to find a place to eat, this hot day is not suitable for eating hot pot......
At this moment, the noisy bazaar in front of it suddenly burst into a commotion, and it was discordant when I heard it.
"Stop! Hold it! Catch the thief, catch the thief, don't let him run, catch that little beggar! ”
A man's angry voice rang out from the crowd, followed by a commotion in the crowd, and then one by one the people were pushed away, and a child rushed out of the crowd.
When Yue Lingjun entered Huaxian, he deliberately slowed down the speed of the carriage, but the situation in front happened too suddenly, and the child also came out too suddenly, so he crashed into the carriage so hard.
The horse was frightened, and directly picked up the pout, Yue Lingjun saw this, frowned, and grabbed the reins tightly.
Shen Yingniang was turned upside down, almost fell off the carriage, exclaimed, fortunately Yue Lingjun hugged her waist and stuck to the carriage, and when the horse's hooves landed, the car was also bumpy.
Shen Yingniang was protected by Yue Lingjun in her arms, but she was frightened, but nothing happened.
After reacting, the horse pulling the cart in front of him snorted a few times, and the big eyes were staring straight at the nasty ghost who fell to the ground, and the horse was actually quite spiritual, and bared his teeth at the man, as if he knew that this person had scared himself.
The crowd also let out a burst of low shouts.
"It's so scary, there are so many people here, what are you running, it's really scared to death."
"No, it's good that I'm far away from the carriage, otherwise, I will be kicked by the horse, and it is not easy for the horse's hooves to kick people, don't kick the bones when the time comes."
"Don't you say that someone in our village was kicked to death by a horse and lost a lot of silver!"
"What's the matter with that kid? Looking like a beggar? No, why did I hear someone say catch a thief? ”
A passer-by had just said the word catch the thief, and the crowd was pushed away again, and then a thin peddler walked out.
He seemed to be in a hurry, and when he came out, he was panting there with his hands on his knees, and his face was covered with sweat, and his face was red because he was running too fast.
He barely bothered his waist, walked up to the little beggar, and said condescendingly and viciously.
"Okay, you little brat, how dare you steal my buns? Let me tell you, the buns are dirty when you take them, and you can't sell them, you pay me money now, but you can't pay it out, Lao Tzu pulls you to see the official, and the county master beats you a few boards! ”
As he spoke, the peddler reached out and grabbed the little beggar by the collar.
The little beggar was disheveled, and his dirty hair was lifted a little when he looked up, revealing a face that was somewhere between a child and a teenager, but there was no fear on that face, more stubbornness, and a voice like a stubborn stone.
"I, I said it! I will pay you back later, you give me a few buns today, and I will give you a few pieces of silver later! ”
The peddler was amused by his words, but he still said viciously: "Listen to what nonsense you are talking about, who is rare and what silver, Lao Tzu wants you to pay me for my buns!" Stinky little ghost, the good don't learn the bad, Lao Tzu has to teach you a good lesson for your father and mother today! ”
As he spoke, the peddler raised his hand and prepared to hit him with a rolling pin, but he raised his hand when he was suddenly stopped.
"Wait!"
The peddler paused, and looked impatiently at the voice: "Who?" Who wants to be nosy? I'm telling you, I'm ...... Ouch! Isn't this Shen Shopkeeper? ”
The peddler's voice changed abruptly, and his attitude changed from being bad to surprised, and then he laughed flatteringly, without looking at the little beggar, he threw the person directly to the ground, rubbed his hands, walked in front of Shen Yingniang with a smile, bent down and said.
"Isn't this the shopkeeper Shen? What a coincidence that I met you here today! ”
Shen Yingniang glanced at the child who fell to the ground, then at the vendor who sold buns, and said with a smile.
"Brother Xiao Li, your buns aren't so valuable, just a few buns, you don't need to beat people, just teach a lesson."
Shen Yingniang didn't say that Brother Li was not, but it was really unnecessary to beat people for a few buns, and looking at the appearance of the little beggar, there should be difficulties, but if she is replaced by a big beggar with sound hands and feet, Shen Yingniang will not stand up and say this, and she doesn't like to meddle.
Hearing Shen Yingniang's words, Brother Li immediately made a bitter face.
"Ouch, shopkeeper Shen, don't you know, if this is normal, I don't care about these buns, but recently our Huaxian County doesn't know what evil is happening, there are a lot of beggars on the street, there are many big beggars and small beggars, that's it, but my bun stall is a thief every now and then, all of them are these beggars!"
"They didn't come one or two, it was a group of people, one of them succeeded, and then they came one after another, like locusts transiting, if I don't teach him a lesson, he can bring a group of people next time, I am also a small business, unlike you, doing a big business, I really can't hold it!"
Hearing this, Shen Yingniang was stunned.
She really didn't expect this stubble, she originally thought it was just a trivial matter, but she didn't expect this reason.
"I didn't! I said, I'm just borrowing you a few buns, and I'll pay you back later! As for those who came to steal the buns, they had nothing to do with me, I didn't bring them! ”
The child stood up suddenly, and said this stubbornly with his eyes, although the little face was dirty, but it could still be seen from the outline that he was a delicate young man.
Especially those eyes, they are exceptionally clear, looking at the tone, that look, it really doesn't look like a lie, just borrowing buns...... It's a bit unreasonable.
Brother Xiao Li was angry, and it was not this little beggar who lost the bun, so he naturally said whatever he wanted.
Besides, these little beggars are all you know me, I know you, they are all in the same group, and you dare to say this in front of him? The world is as black as a crow, a liar!
So Brother Xiao Li said very unceremoniously: "You stinky boy, hurry up and shut up for me!" Borrowing buns? What kind of relative are you, and I'm going to borrow you food? Let me tell you, today you will either pay me the money for the buns, or Lao Tzu will drag you to the official! ”
"Or, I'll beat you up! Don't want to eat my buns for nothing, if you don't learn well at a young age, you actually learn from others to eat overlord meals? Don't see if you have that qualification! ”
Shen Yingniang also saw that this little Brother Li was really angry, he usually looked quite kind, after all, doing business is all about harmony and making money, and now it seems that he is really angered by these beggars.
Shen Yingniang hurriedly played a round and said: "Oh, Brother Li, don't be angry, don't be angry, a few buns, I gave them for him." ”
While speaking, Shen Yingniang directly took out two taels of silver from her purse and gave them to her, but Brother Li was uncomfortable.
"Oh, shopkeeper Shen, what does this kid have to do with stealing my buns? I just want to teach him a lesson so that he never dares to come back again. ”
Shen Yingniang smiled and said: "Brother Xiao Li, don't be polite to me, you know, I have always been generous, just when I invited him to eat a few steamed buns, and I saw that he came out to beg at a young age, there must be some difficulty, but as long as the father and mother of the family are still there, it is impossible to be willing to let their children come out to suffer this crime, don't you say?" ”
As soon as this sentence came out, it stopped Brother Li, he hesitated to glance at the two taels of silver, and then at the still stubborn little boy, sighed, and then pushed the silver back and said.
"What Shopkeeper Shen said is, I won't be as knowledgeable as this stinky little ghost, but I can't ask for this silver, you better take it back, what will I get if I take it? A few buns, I can still afford it. ”
Shen Yingniang said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Li, your small business is not clear, and there are so many beggars in our Huaxian County suddenly, those of us who are merchants, especially big merchants like us, have to say that we usually make a lot of money in business, and if something happens, then it must be our big head, you take it!" ”
Shen Yingniang pushed back very boldly.
Brother Xiao Li has also really lost a lot, and he has been scolded by his daughter-in-law recently, but now seeing that Shen Yingniang talked about this, he directly took the silver, and then said to Shen Yingniang.
"Shen shopkeeper is atmospheric! Don't worry, I'll give you this face today, Shopkeeper Shen is worthy of being the most profitable and kind-hearted boss in our Huaxian County, admire and admire! ”
The people around who watched the excitement also praised Shen Yingniang for a while, most of the rich people they usually saw were iron roosters who didn't pull out a dime, where was it like Shen Yingniang, it was really scattering money everywhere.
Shen Yingniang didn't just say it, she usually donated silver to some Salesian homes in Huaxian County, most of those places were homeless old people and children, this kind of place was funded by the imperial court, but the imperial court's silver was limited after all, and it was impossible to send it to this kind of place.
