Chapter 2 It knows the answer

Shangjing is the capital of the Ming and Zhou dynasties, where there are many buildings, carved beams and painted buildings. The clean and spacious streets, flanked by shouting and hawking shops, are thriving with cars and horses, and the flow of people is like weaving.

"This Shangjing is really prosperous!"

Li Luodi, who was walking on the street, looked around from time to time and was amazed.

"Also, although you have been in Beijing for half a year, your mind was all about the weekly test at that time, and you didn't have much time to visit Beijing." Li Ping patted his younger brother, looking like a local Tu clan, "I'll take you to be a big brother in two days." ”

As for the courage of the eldest brother, you still dare to take me out to be chic, Li Luodi responded on the surface, and secretly slandered.

"Big brother, you see there are snacks in front of you!" Li Luodi pointed to the stall selling preserved fruits in front of him and said with a smile, "I'll buy some and go back to taste the fruit, she has missed it for a long time." ”

Guo'er is Li Ping's daughter, seven or eight years old, with two pigtails and an extremely cute red face.

"This..."

Hearing this, Li Ping hesitated, "Guo'er's mother told her not to eat too many snacks, it's not good for her teeth." "It's like a strict wife.

"It's okay, my brother and I are a scholar, and on this happy day, my sister-in-law won't say anything." Li Luodi smiled, "Besides, Guo'er has also pestered me for a long time, let me bring her some snacks, it's okay for the child to eat less." ”

Hearing what Li Luodi said, Li Ping was right when he thought about it, and then said a little hesitantly, "Then when Guo'er and her mother ask later, she will say that you bought it!" ”

"Got it, hurry up and buy it back, wait to eat pig's trotters!"

The two of them walked forward quickly.

"Boss, let's have two strings of sugar people, a handful of candied fruit, osmanthus cake and jujube mud cake."

"Okay, please!"

The vendor who sells snacks quickly packed these things, "A total of thirteen cents, you can take it!" ”

After paying the money, the two were about to leave, when suddenly a noise came from far and near, instantly attracting the two of them.

"Wang Ba Lamb, dare to rob grandpa's money, are you impatient?"

The crowd dispersed, and only saw a big man wearing a white bib and holding a rolling pin, threatening the thin beggar who was scared at the bottom with a fierce face.

"This uncle is good, let me go! This hanging money is the money that my relatives gave my mother for treatment! ”

The thin beggar's face was full of tears, and he immediately knelt down in front of the big man and kowtowed. His right hand was still holding a pair of herbs tightly.

"What's going on! Wang Laosi. ”

The crowd of onlookers seemed to recognize the big man with a rolling pin, and asked curiously.

Hearing this, Wang Laosi knocked a rolling pin on the beggar, and said disdainfully, "This stinky beggar, he came to my shop to beg for a meat bun to eat, I think he is pitiful and ready to give him one." Who knew that he saw me open the hanging money in the drawer, and when he saw the wealth, he turned around and ran, and was caught by the uncle at this time. “

"Wronged!"

As soon as the words fell, the beggar couldn't care about anything, and then cried to the crowd, "My old lady is sick at home, and a distant relative gives me a lot of money, asking me to go and catch medicine for my mother, and then on the way back, I asked about the smell of meat buns, thinking that my mother has never smelled meat for most of her life, so I want to buy a meat bun and go back to my mother." “

The beggar wiped away his tears and continued to cry, "Who knew that Wang Laosi saw me come to the door, thinking that I was begging, so he sent me away, until he saw me take out this hanging money from his arms, greedy and ill-intentioned, and beat a rake, saying that I took his money." “

"That's the way it is, please make the decision for me!" The beggar immediately knelt down in all directions and kept kowtowing.

This appearance immediately made the surrounding people sympathize.

"Wang Laosi, this is your fault!"

"That's it, how can you take someone's mother's life-saving money!"

"It's going to be thundering."

Hearing this, the surrounding people gossiped, and in ancient times, the people were extremely simple and kind people, and they were upset when they heard this.

"Wang Laosi, you are quite fat!"

Suddenly, several officials poured out of the crowd, and the leader shouted unceremoniously to Wang Laosi, "You actually did such a hurtful thing, come with us to the yamen." “

Seeing that everyone was attacking him, especially the few officials who came out, he was suddenly uncertain, and then he could only shout, "Don't listen to this stinky beggar's words, what evidence does he have to prove that this hanging money is his?" “

"I can prove that this hanging money belongs to Wang Laosi!"

When Wang Laosi's words fell, I saw a thin man with a mustache squeezed out of the crowd, his eyes rolled straight, and he said, "This hanging money was given to him by selling pork to Wang Laosi this morning." “

The thin man's name is Zhang San, he is a pork seller on West Street, and his character is a little bad, and he often gives it to his neighbors, and he is short of two catties.

"Yes, yes, this hanging money is the change that Zhang San specially found for me to carry pork over this morning." Seeing Zhang San come out to prove himself, Wang Laosi's eyes lit up, and then he affirmed, "At that time, I was chopping meat filling, and after realizing that it was not enough, I asked Zhang San to send it to me." “

Seeing this scene, Li Ping elbowed Li Luodi with his arm, and said softly, "Brother Luo, could it be that this hanging money is really the two of them!" Immediately, he looked sympathetically at the beggar who fell to the ground and kept crying.

Hearing this, Li Luodi did not speak, but secretly observed the two of them and the beggar who fell to the ground and cried.

"The head catcher asked you, and you all said that the money belonged to the two of you." The servant, who seemed to be groaning for a moment, asked, "Then you should know how much this money is." “

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately said to the beggar, "Don't panic yet, let them speak first." “

After speaking, Humu looked at Wang Laosi and Zhang San sternly, "Let's talk about it, you two!" “

This headcatcher is pretty good, and the change of thinking is quite fast. Li Luodi looked at him.

"This..."

Hearing this, Wang Laosi's eyes were slightly flustered, and he looked at Zhang San for help.

Zhang San completely ignored Wang Laosi's worried eyes, and looked at the servants calmly, "Liu Zhutou, if I judge it well, the number of copper plates on this hanging coin is eight hundred and thirty-seven. “

After that, Zhang Sanyang proudly said to the beggar who was slightly distracted on the ground, stinky beggar, what I said is right. ”

Immediately, no matter what the beggar thought, he arched his hand to the people around him and said, "Fellow villagers, whether the number is right or not, let this beggar take it out and check it on the spot, if the number is wrong, I Zhang San is willing to go back with Liu Zhutou, how to deal with me without saying a word." ”

After a pause, he continued, "Of course, the number is right, and I will not punish this beggar, after all, people can do stupid things when they are hungry. Think about it, how can a beggar have relatives who can give him a silver tael or two. ”

"Anyway, it seems to make sense."

"Little beggar, why don't you take out the money first and count it, is this amount right?"

The people around him, after hearing this, said.

"It's... The number is correct, I just grabbed the herbs and it cost one hundred and sixty-three copper plates, and now there are indeed eight hundred and thirty-seven left. ”

The beggar muttered softly, then shook his head and roared, "Impossible, how do you know the amount of this money?" ”

"It's not easy! Because this money is what I gave to Wang Laosi! ”

After speaking, Zhang San and Wang Laosi glanced at each other and laughed.

Then he said respectfully to Liu Zhutou, "Liu Zhutou, this can prove that this money belongs to Wang Laosi!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Zhutou was silent for a while, a little embarrassed. In fact, he was more willing to believe that the money was a beggar, so he asked Zhang San to say this amount first, but he didn't expect to be right.

"Since Liu Zhutou is so embarrassed, we might as well let Xiao Er, who sells medicine, confront him on the spot. This beggar didn't say that he spent one hundred and sixty-three copper plates to pick up the medicine, let Xiao Er tell if he spent this money. “

Zhang San looked at the hesitant Liu Zhutou, sneered, and then looked at the beggar with bad intentions.

"It turns out that you guys are secretly colluding!" The beggar looked at Zhang San's eyes, instantly understood something, and then rushed towards Zhang San like crazy.

In the midst of everyone's exclamations, Wang Laosi knocked the beggar to the ground again with a rolling pin.

How could an emaciated beggar be their opponent.

"Stop, don't hurt anyone!"

Liu Zhutou shouted.

"Liu Zhutou, you see, we are in legitimate defense."

Wang Laosi echoed, "If Liu Zhutou can't determine whose money it is, then ask the little second who sells medicine to come over and confront it, then we won't be so good at talking, according to the law of Ming Zhou, anyone who robs and frames can be fined three times the money and beaten thirty boards." ”

"Otherwise, I don't want this money, hurry up and take the medicine back to your mother and fry it!"

"Yes! In case of confrontation, if you lose, you will suffer 30 boards. “

The onlookers persuaded him.

Hearing this, the beggar bit his lip vigorously until he didn't feel the bleeding.

Seeing this, Wang Laosi and Zhang San looked at each other and smiled, this hanging money is theirs.

The little two who sold medicine had already been bought by them.

Looking at this scene, Liu Zhutou and the others may know something, but their faces are gloomy at the moment, and they don't know what to think.

"It's actually easy to identify whose money it is!"

At this moment, a discordant voice rang out.

I saw a young man with black hair and white clothes walking out, handsome and beautiful, with distinct facial features, and an angular face that was extremely good-looking, he was Li Luodi.

"Boy, who are you?"

Seeing Li Luodi walking out, Zhang San frowned, and immediately shouted.

"Boy, your skin is itchy, do you want to clean it up?"

Seeing that Wang Laosi and Zhang San were hostile, Li Ping hurriedly rushed out and shouted, "What are you doing?" This is a scholar in today's high school nineteen, Brother Li Luodi! How dare you threaten? “、

"This person is a scholar?"

Seeing this, Zhang Sanwang and the fourth were taken aback, now the status of scholars is very high, and they are also ranked nineteen in high school, and the future is bright! ”

"It turned out to be Li Shusheng! Disrespectful! ”

Liu Zhutou stepped forward and bowed to the officials.

"I don't know what Li Shusheng thinks?"

Li Luodi walked straight to the beggar, did not dislike the sludge on the beggar's body at all, and helped him up.

"Don't you dare to do this!" The beggar hurriedly thanked him.

"Fellow villagers, in fact, whose money is it, in addition to the three of them knowing, in fact, there is something to prove whose money it is?"

"What is it?" 、

Everyone was curious, when they knew that it was a scholar who came out to prove it.

Not only the people, but also the beggars were also curious.

"Naturally, it's the money in his arms!"

Brother Li Luo pointed to the beggar and said with a smile.

The words fell, and the scene was instantly quiet.

"Li Shusheng, do you mean that the hanging money can prove who it is?" Liu Zhutou said a little uncertainly, and then his eyes lit up, could it be that the name of the beggar was engraved on it? ”

"Without a name, it can speak on its own?" Li Luodi shook his head lightly and said with a smile.

"Hahahaha!"

At this time, Wang Lao Si laughed, "You mean that this money can speak?" “

The onlookers also felt ridiculous, and Liu Zhutou and Li Ping were also unclear.

Not far away, next to the window of the Accord in the teahouse, there were two people looking at each other with great interest.
