Chapter 15: Forgery
Xia Ruo: "This son is really asking the right person." ”
"I really have a solution."
Si Chen smiled and made a gesture of please.
"I want to hear about it."
Xia Ruo walked in front of the old man, with a pair of apricot eyes clear, as if he knew everything.
She waved her hand to get out of the way of the strong man and called Shuang'er and Lian'er.
"Hold him down for me and lift his sleeves."
The people around saw that these two people were Xia Ruo's maids, and they all gave up a big circle, just afraid that it would affect them.
Lifted up by two women, unable to move, the old man was shocked.
"What are you doing? Bullying me as an old man, you are really unconscionable!"
Xia Ruo ignored him, carefully looked at the place where he was injured, and smiled after a while.
"Your injury is fake!"
Hearing this, the panic in the old man's eyes flashed, and he retorted loudly.
"You talk nonsense! I'm really hurt!"
Xia Ruo: "Your bruise is very realistic. ”
"But when you touch it, you can see that it is not swollen at all, and it looks like a painting."
Old man: "What painted it?" You're slandering me!"
"My old man has lived so old, how can he use such a deceptive trick!"
"This scar of mine can't be washed off with water at all, how dare you say it's fake!"
"If you don't have evidence, you just talk nonsense, be careful that I sue you to the county office!"
Xia Ruo: "That can only say that you have done waterproof measures, and it can't prove that your injuries are real at all." ”
"If you really go to the county office, you're afraid you'll run faster than anyone else!"
Given that Xia Ruo's reputation was not good before, there were few people around who believed in her, and most people felt that Xia Ruo was slandering the old man.
Seeing this, Xia Ruo had to prove it to them on the spot, and by the way, he saved a wave of popularity for himself.
"Okay, Miss Ben will convince you to lose."
"Big brother, you go and buy me some soap, sesame oil and a towel, and I will return your innocence."
The butcher looks fierce, but is actually honest and honest.
He nodded in a daze, ran to the restaurant on the side, and heard the old man's hoarse roar before he was halfway through.
"Help! Killed!"
"This woman, and the butcher who hit me, are a pair of shameless friends!"
"She let these two women restrain me, just to let her good friends escape!"
"Everyone, help me catch these two!"
Seeing that the old man was full of foul language, Lian'er stretched out her hand and wanted to hit him, but was stopped by Xia Ruo.
"What kind of punishment is it for hitting someone once?"
Lian'er hung her head in frustration and put down her hand in disdain.
"Three hundred times of the Tao Te Ching."
Xia Ruo: "Well, that's good. ”
There are many people around who don't know the truth.
The old man's voice surrounded many new audiences, and soon Xia Ruo's surroundings became a grand occasion with three layers inside and three layers outside.
Looking at the lively crowd, he pointed to Si Chen on the side, and smiled.
"Let this little brother go, the proprietress will lend him everything."
"I really saw it, when I just borrowed water, the proprietress still threw flattering eyes at him."
Hearing this, Xia Ruo looked at Si Chen, feeling a little uncomfortable, but he still said dutifully.
"Then it's troublesome for this son, go and come back quickly."
(I'm about to get married, and I'm still messing around outside, bad reviews!)
Si Chen seemed to see what Xia Ruo was thinking, and smiled slightly.
"Please also ask Miss Xia to take off her veil and help Si Mou open the way, otherwise how can Si Mou get out of this crowd?"
(You have to pay for hiring Miss Ben to open the way!)
Seeing that Si Chen had revealed his identity, Xia Ruo no longer disguised, and pulled off the veil, revealing a beautiful face.
When the onlookers saw her, they were amazed, and they were all frightened and consciously gave way.
Xia Ruo and Si Chen walked side by side, and after leaving the crowd, the old man was still scolding and insulting Xia Ruo's reputation.
Lian'er couldn't get angry, and slapped him on the back, fierce and vicious.
"You dare to slander my young lady, I don't think you want to live anymore!"
was slapped by Lian'er, the old man's eyes rolled, his teeth bit through the blood bag hidden under his tongue, and he spit out a mouthful of blood and rolled his eyes.
The onlookers were taken aback, and when they saw the old man's half-dead appearance, they all complained about the old man, accusing Lian'er of being too heavy.
"Even if there's anything wrong with him, you can't kill him!"
"People from outside, go and report to the official! The servants of the Xia family beat people to death in the street!"
"Your Xia family is so domineering, sooner or later you will all go to prison and eat prison food!"
When Lian'er heard them slandering the Xia family, her eyes widened angrily and she quarreled with the people around her.
"You Diao people, if you dare to say a bad word about our Xia family, see if I don't kill you!"
Seeing that Lian'er dared to speak cruelly to them after beating people to death, the onlookers were angry for a while, and they rushed forward and wanted to do something to Lian'er.
"This kind of murderer, she must be brought to justice!"
"That's right! Let's tie her up and send her to the yamen. ”
"I don't believe that the evidence is ironclad, the county official will protect the Xia family!"
Seeing that Lian'er was about to be tied up by everyone, Shuang'er put her fingers on the old man's wrist while protecting Lian'er.
The pulse is steady and powerful, and it does not look like a sick and weak body.
"This old man is fine, he's playing dead!"
Most of the crowd that had just watched the old man defraud the strong man had already left.
The newcomer only felt pitiful for the old man, and shouted loudly for the old man.
"Why are you slandering him so much, he's just a poor old man!"
"Killing someone and still trying to quibble, it's really disregard for the law of the country!"
"Let's all go together and bring these two murderers to justice!"
At the instigation of well-intentioned people, some people's blood was boiling, and they reached out to grab Shuang'er and Lian'er.
It's just that before his hand touched them, he was stopped by a pig-killing knife with a cold light.
Seeing that the butcher was not angry and arrogant, many people were frightened and withdrew their hands one after another.
Liu Yidao: "No one is allowed to touch these two girls!" Otherwise, I Liu Yidao won't let him go!"
Passerby: "Liu Yidao, you are a pig killer, do you also want to kill people?"
Liu Yidao: "I don't want to." ”
"But these two girls are here to prove my innocence, and I can't let anything happen to them."
"Whoever dares to touch their fingers, I will fight with whomever I want!"
Just when the two sides were deadlocked, Xia Ruo and Si Chen hurried back from the restaurant, and the officials also arrived at the scene to maintain order.
Seeing the commotion of the crowd, Si Chen showed his official token, which calmed everyone.
Crowd A: "Everyone is quiet, this magistrate has just returned the butcher's innocence." ”
"He'll definitely give us a just result!"
Everyone stared at Xia Ruo's movements, for fear of being fooled by her.
I saw Xia Ruo put the soap horn in the water and wet it, and put a layer on the old man's "wound".
Then she applied sesame oil to it and rubbed it vigorously with a damp towel.
Xia Ruo held a towel stained with red dye and faced everyone.
Crowd A: "Look, everyone, his injuries are indeed fake!"
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the towel in Xia Ruo's hand.
Look at the old man's arm again, where there are still bruises, only mottled red paint remains on it.
