Chapter XXV

After a short time, the shopkeeper-looking old man walked out of it with a sad face, and at this time he was holding a delicate jade box in his hand, glanced at the young man, his eyes seemed to be quite reluctant, and a face full of wrinkles became more haggard and helpless, sighed, and then handed over the jade box.

Looking at the delicate jade box in the old man's hand, Liao Fan's eyes swelled with a touch of joy, he took it carefully, and gently opened the lid of the box, and the thousand-year-old water lotus that he was familiar with came into view, and then a refreshing fragrance spread, and his slightly straight nose took a deep breath, and his cheeks showed a sense of relaxation that had been lost.

"Senior, the situation is urgent, forgive me for offending this time, but what I promised will be done, see you in two days, and say goodbye. Liao Fan bent over, with a slight hint of apology in his expression, and said apologetically.

Looking at the black-robed young man in front of him, the old man suddenly had a trace of inexplicable trust, the fortitude between his eyebrows and the determination in his dark eyes seemed to be unbelievable that this slightly immature young man should have, smiled bitterly, and closed his eyes......

Leaving the Qi family pharmacy, Liao Fan hurried home, although the thousand-year-old water lotus was taken back, but the jade pendant given to him by the teacher was mortgaged to the pharmacy, and he was quite distressed in his heart, but he did not regret it because of reason and responsibility.

Three hours later, Liao Fan finally returned home, this time the lesson made the family of three suffer enough, Yulan even hid the water lotus under the bed, just in case it was even more ruthless to find an excuse to refuse all the relatives who came to visit.

The news of the robbery of the Qijia pharmacy instantly caused a sensation in the entire Tambul County, and even alarmed the official county lieutenant to come to investigate in person.

When Meng Qi learned about this, he was also shocked, he never expected the young man to be so decisive and domineering, and after sitting on the chair and thinking about it for a long time, he immediately said to a middle-aged man beside him: "Ah Hu, please go to the county government and tell the county magistrate the news about the young man." ”

Ah Hu was stunned, and said with some concern: "If Liaojiacun knows that we reported it, will it cause trouble, after all, it was Meng Hao who caused such a situation." ”

"It's okay, Meng Hao has already been punished as he deserves, but it's Liaojia Village's turn to repay the damage to the reputation of our Mengjia Village. The corners of Mengqi's eyes twitched slightly, and there was a hint of hatred in his tone, the last time the young man's arrogant behavior was vivid.

"There's one more thing, I don't know if I should say it?" Ah Hu pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"What?"

According to the village insider, Mengsan has an extremely good relationship with the boy's father, and the two families have already made a family relationship. ”

"Do you mean that this young man named Liao Fan will become the son-in-law of Mengjia Village?"

"Yes, if Liao Fan is arrested, wouldn't we send the son-in-law of Mengjia Village to the point of no return, and then Liaojia Village and Mengsan will definitely have a grudge. ”

Hearing this, Mengqi's body trembled slightly, and his brows were tightly locked, such news was indeed very shocking to him, although he didn't care about Liaojia Village, but he couldn't help but consider Mengsan's feelings, how to say that Mengsan also made a lot of contributions to the people in the village.

"In any case, you can't let these two families become in-laws, the old man personally talked to Mengsan, hoping that he will focus on the overall situation!"

"Now that the village chief has made up his mind, I'll go to the county for a trip. Ah Hu clenched his fists and said.

"Well, go ahead, I'll take care of the rest. Dream inspired said lightly.

Ah Hu left, Meng Qi looked at the hot air coming out of the teacup in his hand alone, slightly distracted, and after a while, he took out a thick stack of golden tickets from his arms, and a trace of struggle appeared on his old face, and gradually, there was a touch of heat and greed in his eyes......

......

On the square of Liaojia Village, children chase each other and play, and the old people sit on the tree stump in groups talking about family trivialities, which makes people feel peaceful and warm under the sun.

At this time, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves at the entrance of the village, and after a short time, a red horse appeared in the square, and a young man wearing the uniform of a government official turned over and dismounted and walked over.

Everyone was at a loss, and they saw the young man with a serious expression, walking into the square with an official document in his hand, and sticking the official document to the bulletin board with both hands.

After the young man finished everything, he turned around and galloped away, and everyone quickly gathered around to watch curiously, only to see that the official document was a portrait, and the word "Wanted" was written on it with a red pen on it.

"Qijia Pharmacy in the county town of Tambul was robbed by a young man in a black robe, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the person who provided the clue was rewarded with five hundred gold coins!" a middle-aged man muttered to himself.

"It's too bold to dare to rob in the county. ”

"So impulsive at such a young age, it is very likely that he will be beheaded if he is caught. ”

"Reward five hundred gold coins, oh my God, how many things did this guy loot from the Qi family's pharmacy?"

The crowd was all talking.

"Don't you think this portrait looks like a person?" said a middle-aged man.

"Liao Chong, I think you're crazy about money! No wonder you're in your forties, and you can't marry your mother-in-law. Someone in the crowd scoffed.

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst out laughing.

Liao Chong is right, it does look a little familiar. ”

At this moment, another man said seriously.

Hearing this, everyone put away their smiles and looked at the portrait carefully, all trying to verify whether the speaker was lying.

After a while, some people in the audience breathed heavily, as if they noticed something, but no one was the first to speak, because in everyone's hearts, they would never believe that the boy would do it, in their eyes, the boy was sensible, filial piety to his parents, maybe the portrait is a little similar.

After a long time, a young man's eyes widened, he swallowed and spit, and said nervously: "Don't you think this wanted criminal looks like Liao Fan?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the onlookers all fell on the young man, and he wanted to say something that he didn't dare to say, but he was actually broken by a young man.

At this time, everyone's hearts were jumping up and down, if this incident was true, what would be the attitude of the old village chief? What would become of Liao Fan's parents? Liao Fan's life and death......

"Snap" a loud slap on the boy's cheek.

I don't know when, Liao Yushan appeared in front of the young man, grabbed the placket on the young man's chest and lifted it up, his eyes were bloodshot, his body trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You dare to talk nonsense in front of everyone, do you know that you will kill Liao Fan in this way." ”
