Chapter Sixty-Nine: Ignorance of Officials
Cao Meng kowtowed to Xuan Xiao again and said, "Grandpa! I have completely figured it out, as long as my grandfather agrees to teach me kung fu, I will listen to my grandfather's words, what does my grandfather want me to do, I will do it, is this okay?"
Xuan Xiao nodded pretending to be considerate and said, "It's good, but how do I know if you're really obedient or fake obedient?"
Cao Meng hurriedly said: "I never tell lies, if grandpa doesn't believe it, I can swear to God!"
Saying that, this muddy boy really swore and said: "God listen, I Cao Meng swears here, if I don't listen to my grandfather in the future, God will punish me for three days without food!"
Cao Meng swore like this, and the shopkeepers standing on the side couldn't help but immediately let out a loud laugh.
Even Xiong Guangyao couldn't help but laugh.
How can the world swear to make such a statement? This muddy boy is really too muddy!
You know, this muddy boy was born in a poor family of hunters in the mountains, and he ate an astonishing amount of food since he was a child, and a meal of more than ten catties of animal meat was not enough, just imagine how a poor hunter's parents could provide for the life of a son with such an astonishing amount of food? Therefore, he often starved when he was a child.
Just because he has been hungry since he was a child, he is afraid of hunger, as long as he says that he has no food, it is more powerful than asking for his life, which makes him afraid!
He thinks in his heart that "eating" is more important than life, that is, he will die immediately, and he must eat a full stomach before he dies!
Otherwise, how could he make such a comical and funny oath of "punishing him for not eating for three days"!
Xuan Xiao knew that this muddy boy had a pure heart, like a golden jade, and he made such an inconsequential funny oath, but in his heart, there must be a very important truth!
The shop guys and Xiong Guangyao smiled like this, and Xuan Xiao couldn't help but laugh with a "poof".
When the boy saw Xuan Xiao laughing "poof", he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and immediately opened his big mouth and looked at Xuan Xiao and giggled.
Unbeknownst to him, Xuan Xiao's face suddenly sank again, his eyes were like stars, and he looked at him with a scorching cold light and said in a deep voice: "Son, are you really obedient?"
Cao Meng hurriedly nodded and said, "Really!"
"Good!"
Xuan Xiao said, and suddenly said to the shopkeeper standing next to him, "Please find two thick hemp ropes." ”
The shopkeeper didn't know what Xuan Xiao wanted, so he agreed, turned around and went to get the hemp rope.
Although Xiong Guangyao didn't know what tricks Xuan Xiao was doing, he knew that Xuan Xiao and this muddy boy had spent so much scheming and talking, and there must be a deep meaning! Therefore, he stood by like a nobody, just watching with his eyes, silent.
After a while, the shopkeeper brought the hemp rope, and Xuan Xiao asked Cao Meng again: "Little son, are you really obedient?"
"Obedient!" Cao Meng nodded.
Xuan Xiao said again: "I want them to tie you up with a rope, are you willing?"
Cao Meng glanced at the hemp rope in the hands of the shop guys with a confused expression, but did not make a sound.
"If you don't want to, if you say it's too late now, I can let you go. ”
Cao Meng hesitated for a moment, looked at Xuan Xiao and asked, "Grandpa! They tied me up, can I still eat?"
Xuan Xiao couldn't help laughing, nodded and said, "Yes!
When Cao Meng heard this, he nodded and said, "As long as there is food to eat, grandpa will tell them to tie it up!"
Xuan Xiao smiled, and ordered the shop guys to step forward and tie him up.
The shop guys looked at Cao Meng, and then at the hemp rope in their hands, hesitating a little bit!
Xuan Xiao smiled: "It doesn't matter, you can rest assured and boldly tie him up, I'm here!"
When the shop guys heard this, they had the courage to step forward and tie up this muddy boy.
Sure enough, Cao Meng was indeed obedient, and he did not resist at all, and was at the mercy of a few shopkeepers to tie him up firmly.
After tying it up, Xuan Xiao instructed the shop guys: "Trouble a few more people, please carry him to the back!"
At this time, the door of the store was already surrounded by a large group of people watching the excitement, and Xuan Xiao bowed his hand to these people and said: "This big man is a junior in the next generation, he is a muddy person, and now there is nothing to do, please disperse, go and do your own business!"
The shopkeepers had just lifted the boy and were about to walk to the back, when they heard someone shouting, "Slow!"
Xuan Xiao and the others couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this! I saw two officials in soap clothes hurriedly parting the crowd and walking in.
The two officials put their hands on their waists and eyes in a big way, and the four eyes stared at Xuan Xiao and looked up and down, and asked, "Is this shop opened by you?"
Xiong Guangyao hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand to the two officials, about to answer, but was stopped by Xuan Xiao shaking his hand, and said coldly: "May I ask where the two of you are from?
The two officials said with great vigour: "We are from the yamen of this county!"
"Oh!"
Xuan Xiao arched his hand at the two of them with understanding: "It turned out to be two official masters!"
Among them, you and the official said "um" and said, "I heard that you have a death here?"
The two of them spoke, pretending to glance at the corpse on the ground.
Xuan Xiao is such a smart person, looking at the appearance of these two people, how can he not understand the meaning of these two officials.
However, he pretended not to understand and nodded, "Not bad!" Then he looked at the two of them and asked, "Why are you two here?"
"What's the matter?"
The two officials couldn't help laughing and said: "Seeing that you are polite and polite, you look like a scholar, don't you even know these four words of killing people to pay for your life?"
"Oh!"
Xuan Xiao said as if he had suddenly realized: "The two dare to love are here to arrest the murderer?"
The two officials laughed and said, "You're right!"
Xuan Xiao said: "I want to ask, do you have to pay for killing someone?"
The two officials were stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Of course!
"Oh, what if the deceased is not prosecuted?"
The official thought for a moment and said, "Then I will pay for my life. ”
"Why?"
Another one shouted, "This is Wang Fa!
Xuan Xiao nodded again and said, "Can't you be accommodating?"
The two officials said hysterically in unison: "Can't!"
Xuan Xiao smiled and said, "Since there is no deceased to pursue this matter, then I advise the two of you to forget it!"
The two officials shook their heads again and said, "No!"
One of the officials said suddenly: "Don't talk to this kid, let's just take that kid away." ”
As he spoke, he walked towards Cao Meng, who was tied to the ground.
It turned out that the shopkeeper had already put the muddy boy on the ground at this time.
Xuan Xiao blocked his body, stopped the two of them and said with a smile: "Can the two of you look down there, raise your noble hand, anyway, there is no deceased to investigate!"
The two officials suddenly glared at each other and said, "Go away! Don't be smuggled! If you don't know each other again, don't blame the old man for taking you away and charging you with an accomplice!"
"Do you want to take me with you?" Xuan Xiao laughed sharply: "Don't say it's me, you can't afford to mess with me." As he spoke, he pointed at Cao Meng with his hand and said, "You can't even mess with him!"
The two officials couldn't help but be stunned: "Why?"
Xuan Xiao smiled slightly: "Do you know who he is?"
The two shook their heads and said, "It can't be the grandson of Emperor Lao Tzu!"
Xuan Xiao snorted coldly and said, "Although he is not a relative of the emperor, the two of them still can't afford to provoke him!"
"How so?"
"Because he came down from Dongting Jun Mountain!"
"Heh!" The two officials suddenly couldn't help blurting out an exclamation of "Heh!", took two steps back, looked at Xuan Xiao and asked, "Is he from the Five Lakes Gang?"
When Xuan Xiao saw the shocked appearance of these two officials, he couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart, and said, "The power of this Wuhu Gang is indeed powerful, and even the local officials are afraid of them......
Xuan Xiao thought in his heart, but it flashed like lightning.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Xuan Xiao nodded and smiled: "I said you can't afford to mess with it!"
The momentum of the two of them has completely disappeared, and they looked at Xuan Xiao and clasped their fists and said politely: "The little ones really don't know that they are the heroes of the Wuhu Gang, if they know, they don't dare to come over and take people, and I hope that the heroes will forgive the little ones for the sin of ignorance!"
