Chapter 22: The Dark
As soon as Wu Qian stepped out of the temple gate, he saw that there were already crowds gathering on the streets of Sanhe Town, Wu Qian took a closer look, and the crowd faintly gathered in front of the house of Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu, Wu Qian secretly screamed that it was not good, and hurriedly rushed down the mountain.
Entering Sanhe Town, Wu Qian heard the sound of Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang crying, Wu Qian hurriedly opened the crowd and squeezed in. I saw that in the crowd, Wang Shoude held a piece of paper in his hand and said to everyone: "Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu borrowed 1,000 taels of silver from me in the early years, and there is a written note as evidence, and they agreed to repay the money today, and if they can't repay the money, they will use their property to repay the debt. ”
Wu Qian looked at the piece of paper fixedly, and there were two big IOUs on it, and there were two bright red handprints on the payment. Wu Qian finally understood that Wang Shoude forged an IOU, and then gave it to Yu Chunjiao, Yu Chunjiao secretly pressed the fingerprints of Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu, and there was no personal evidence in this matter, only an IOU in Wang Shoude's hand, and Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu were really speechless.
"Wronged, our old couple lives on this bit of land, and we have never borrowed any silver from you Wang Shoude, you took out an IOU out of thin air, we are really wronged!" Yu Bo seemed to have argued that his physical strength was a little excessive, and he was leaning against the wall at the moment arguing with tears in his eyes. Aunt Yu sat on a stool and cried.
"You don't want to deny it, the black and white letters, as well as your palm prints, read it in the neighborhood, I don't use it, don't give shame!" Wang Shoude said menacingly.
Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu seemed to have no strength to argue, and sat down weakly, wiping their tears, and the crowd began to talk one after another, some believed, some did not, and the voices of discussion came and went.
Wu Qian deliberately glanced at Yu Chunjiao, at this time Yu Chunjiao was timidly hiding behind Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu, constantly rubbing her fingers, the expression on her face was very complicated, I don't know what she was thinking in her heart.
Suddenly, I only heard Wang Shoude scream: "Oh! Isn't this Elder Dou Jianao of the Lingbao Sect, what kind of wind has blown you to our poor country." ”
The tall Dou Jianao walked in from the crowd, waved at everyone, put on a respectful look, and said: "I have traveled here, and when I saw everyone gathering, I was curious for a while, so I came to have a look." After speaking, he bowed to everyone.
Everyone looked at this Dou Jianao, and as soon as Fan Gang of the martial arts hall saw Dou Jianao, he went up with his tail wagging like a dog, licking his face and complimenting: "Oh my God, it's really Dou Changlong, do you remember me? I went to the Lingbao Sect to worship the mountain gate a few times, and I was fortunate to see you once or twice!"
Dou Jianao nodded at Fan Gang and didn't say much, but Fan Gang's fuss made everyone sure that this person was indeed Dou Jianao, an elder of the Lingbao Sect.
"Oh, Elder Dou, you came just in time, you have to be fair for us in this matter today, otherwise the villagers will not accept me, thinking that I am a bully!" Wang Shoude put on an exaggerated expression, as if he had just taken a big responsibility.
"Since I bumped into it, and this Sanhe Town is under the protection of my Lingbao Sect, I naturally can't sit idly by. After Dou Jianao finished speaking, he walked towards Wang Shoude, and Wang Shoude hurriedly handed over the IOU to Dou Jianao.
Dou Jianao took the IOU and pretended to look at it, walked to Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu's side, grabbed the palms of the two and glanced at them, and then turned to everyone and said loudly: "I checked carefully, it is indeed the palm print of this old couple, the evidence is conclusive, it seems that it is indeed the old couple who borrowed Wang Shoude's silver." ”
As soon as Aunt Yu heard this, her eyes were dark, and she fainted directly, Uncle Yu hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Aunt Yu, pinched Aunt Yu's middle, patted her chest and smoothed her breath, and after a while, Aunt Yu woke up leisurely. Uncle Yu put Aunt Yu away, then turned around and knelt down in front of Dou Jianao, and said, "Elder Dou, we have really been wronged, don't be untrustworthy!"
When Dou Jianao heard this, his face turned angry, and he said sharply to Yu Bo: "My dignified elder of the Lingbao Sect is also a figure with a head and a face in this Yin Prefecture, and I happened to travel here today, in order to distinguish between right and wrong, and break black and white, will I wronged you?"
"I see that you old man is just pretending to be pitiful, and he wants to rely on people and not pay his debts!" Dou Jianao said this to Yu Bo, and then brushed his sleeves away.
This Dou Jianao is a cultivator, in the eyes of this group of people in Sanhe Town, that is, he is a high god, and the gods have concluded that Yu Bo is cheating, even if everyone still has a trace of doubt, they dare not show it again.
At this time, Wang Shoude became angry, took out the IOU and shook it in front of everyone, and said loudly: "Elder Dou of the Lingbao Sect has appraised it for me, my IOU is absolutely true, this old man Yu is deliberately cheating here, how can he hide it from Elder Dou who has cultivated to the sky?"
There was still silence around, no one echoed, only the sound of Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu crying, Dou Jianao was used to responding to every call in Yinzhou, but this time no one echoed, his face was a little unbearable, and he glared at Wang Shoude fiercely.
Wang Shoude's face was embarrassed for a moment, and then he stepped forward and said: "Everyone is from the township, and I, Wang, don't want to do things too much, so I'll give you a day to move, and I'll collect some property tomorrow." ”
Dou Jianao heard Wang Shoude say this, and took the lead in turning around and leaving, and then Wang Shoude and others also left.
With Dou Jianao inserting such a bar, even if many people have sympathy for Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu, they don't dare to come forward to comfort them, after all, the reputation of this Lingbao faction in Yinzhou is really not good.
People who don't know the truth choose to be silent, and Wu Qian, who knows the truth, is like a flame burning in his heart at this time, so arbitrary and reckless, and as the manager of Yinzhou, the Lingbao faction is actually an accomplice, what fairness is there in this world, and what justice is there?
Although Wu Qian was angry, he was not impulsive, he knew that with his own strength, there was no way to reverse the situation. But Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu saved his life, and Wu Qian secretly told himself that he must not stand idly by and watch this matter.
If you can't do it, maybe you can only come to the dark, if you don't fight, you can only outwit it, Wu Qian already has an idea in his mind, but he has to let Liang Wenshu help him in this matter.
Wu Qian rushed into Liang Wenshu's room as soon as he slipped into the smoke, and he didn't have time to catch his breath, so he asked Liang Wenshu: "Do you know about Wang Shoude forcing Uncle Yu to repay the money this morning?"
Liang Wen didn't raise his head, but said lightly: "I heard about it." ”
