Dao Yuan pointed to the clothes on the horses and asked, "Uncle, do you know this set of clothes?"

The old man glanced at it and said in surprise, "Isn't this the clothes of the pony at the head of the village, how can it be in your hands?"

Dao Yuan hurriedly explained: "This is what I picked up on the road not far away, and when I saw a village here, I wanted to come and ask, and the good thing was returned to its original owner." ”

The old man was annoyed and said: "The pony is really uneasy, there are only a few clothes left in the house, if they are picked up by others, let him come out naked all day long!"

Looking at Dao Yuan with relief, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side and said, "Xiaoma's house is in the first room in the north, do you want me to take you there?"

Daoyuan hurriedly said: "Don't bother the old man, I'll just go by myself." ”

The old man watched Dao Yuan lead the horse towards the north, and said with relief: "Good man! ”

Daoyuan found the first room in the north, saw that the door was closed, carefully tied the horse to the pillar next to it, gently shushed at the big black horse, and then tiptoed towards the door, and after approaching the door, he looked inside through the crack in the door, and saw two old and one young man inside around the table, and there were two shining jade stones on the table, and the three of them were all excited.

Dao Yuan's heart was relieved, and sure enough, it was here, and he knocked on the door.

"Who?" there was a loud shout in the room, followed by a panicked crash of ping-pong.

The door creaked open, and a young figure appeared inside the door, looking at Dao Yuan vigilantly.

Dao Yuan stretched out his head to look inside, and the table was empty.

The young man said vigilantly, "What are you looking at?"

Dao Yuan held the clothes in his hand and said with a smile: "The apprentice of Poor Dao took away the clothes of the layman without telling him before, although he left two Yuan Stones, but this behavior is really undeserved! ”

The old man in the room smiled and said, "It's yours! It's okay, it's okay, come in and talk." ”

Dao Yuan's heart was relieved, but fortunately, this monk was easy to talk to, and he followed him in defenselessly.

There was a muffled bang, Dao Yuan's eyes fell directly to the ground, and the young man was standing behind Dao Yuan with a wooden stick, his hands trembling slightly, and his mouth gasping for breath.

The old man hurriedly stepped forward and tried Daoyuan's snort, and said apologetically: "Son, I'm sorry, these two pieces of jade are very important to us, with them, my son can marry a daughter-in-law, and we can also replace two more acres of fertile land, and live a better life." ”

The young man gasped and asked with panic in his eyes, "Dad, are we robbing like this?"

The old man said angrily: "What robbery? The jade was traded to us by him, and now it is ours, and we are just protecting our own things." ”

The old woman said worriedly, "He'll be fine, right?"

The old man said, "It's okay, lock him in the house, let's go to the town, as long as we take the jade, we will have money." ”

The eyes of both the old woman and the young man shone with a burning light, which was a beautiful vision of the future.

The three of them left in a hurry after locking the door, and on the other side, after Fan Xian left, he did not go back to the academy, but found a random city, went to eat and drink inside, and poured down the wine one jar after another, so frightened that the owner of the restaurant, Xiao Er, turned pale, this is simply not a person! The wine in the restaurant was almost drunk by him.

......

After a long time, Dao Yuan woke up slowly, got up from the ground, shook his head and looked around, touched the back of his head, gasped and puffed up a big bag behind his head, which hurt hotly, and then remembered what happened, his face changed and he hurriedly ran out, and when he pulled the door and slammed, it was locked from the outside.

"Open the door, open the door!" Dao Yuan slammed the door and shouted a few times in a hurry.

There was no movement outside, and after lunch, everyone went to work in the fields, and the village was silent.

Dao Yuan gritted his teeth, took a few steps back and slammed out, with a bang, and the door shook violently.

Daoyuan continued to retreat, and then continued to hit outward, bang~bang~bang~ A few loud noises, where can the wooden door in disrepair withstand the strength of an adult man, the rotten door pile cracked, and under the impact again, the door was dislocated with a bang, revealing a big hole, Daoyuan's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly drilled out of the big hole.

Outside the door, the big black horse was still tied to a stake, and the things on it didn't move, and for some unknown reason, the family obviously didn't intend to occupy his horse.

Daoyuan rode around the village on horseback, looking around, his face anxious, where was they? Where had they gone? Looking around to no avail, he immediately rode his horse along the dirt road in one direction, and while riding and inquiring along the road, he soon came to a nearby town.

As soon as he entered the town, he got a news from the discussion of the people along the street, saying that a poor family had the audacity to steal the mayor's jade, and even dared to take it to the pawnshop to pawn, and was recognized by the pawnshop owner on the spot, grabbed and escorted to the mayor, and beheaded on the street in the afternoon.

Dao Yuan sighed secretly, and finally it happened, because he wanted a piece of clothing as a guide, Fan Xian didn't know that the people sent out heavy treasures, and finally the villagers were greedy, which led to such a result, no matter what, it was because of himself, and he must not stand idly by.

After Daoyuan asked for directions, he rode towards the entrance of the street, the town was not big, but after a while, he saw a group of people gathered in front of him, and there were faint crying and crying from inside.

Daoyuan hurriedly tied the horse to a pillar at random, trotted over, and squeezed into the crowd.

In the center of the crowd, two old and one young were tied up and knelt on the ground with tears streaming down their eyes and frightened, they were the three people Dao Yuan had seen before.

An old man dressed in a luxurious manner sat on a wooden chair and drank tea leisurely with a teacup, while two young girls kneeling below were carefully beating his legs.

The old man looked at the sun and put down the teacup, and said, "Bold thief, sneak into the mansion of this official to steal heavy treasures, and behead according to the law." ”

The kneeling old man broke out in a cold sweat, shook his head again and again and shouted in horror: "No, the town chief, we really didn't know that this jade was yours! Someone used two pieces of jade to buy a child's clothes, and we took the jade to pawn it!"

The young man next to him kowtowed and cried: "Master, Lord Mayor, we really didn't steal your things! Please, spare us~"

The mayor snorted coldly and said, "Do you think the mayor of this town is stupid to buy your torn clothes with two pieces of jade?

Among the onlookers, there was a burst of laughter.

The three kneeling people looked at the laughing crowd, their eyes full of despair and horror, and they trembled.

"I believe~" A loud shout suddenly sounded.

The three kneeling people lifted their spirits, and a glimmer of hope rose in their eyes.
