Because he was thinking about Liu Ruyan's words in his heart, Wu Zheng finished telling the experience along the way, took a short rest, and then got up and went to Tiefu. If he didn't see Tie Ning with his own eyes, Wu Zheng couldn't calm down.

Leaving the State Guest House, as soon as I turned onto the intersection of Naolong Street, I was blocked by a group of noisy people in front of me.

When I got closer, it was not someone else who was surrounded at the core, it was Miss Ling Yue. I saw that Ling Yue was surrounded by two old and young people who were dressed in tatters, who looked like people begging along the street, and one was pulling at Ling Yue's clothes, chattering about something.

Listening carefully, it turned out that the old man who was over the age of ten said that he was knocked down by Ling Yue and fell down, so he asked Ling Yue to pay a certain amount of silver compensation. Listening to the conversation between the old and the young, it is obviously a pair of grandchildren. Seeing that there was indeed some blood on the old man's forehead, Wu Zheng couldn't help but wonder in his heart, Ling Yue, a weak girl, would never go on a rampage on the street, how could she knock the old man down and hurt the old man?

"Old man, I really didn't bring much silver taels when I went out, and I only had these five taels of silver on my body. Since there are too few old people, and they don't want to go back to the house with me to get them, it's really difficult for me. ”

Not only did Ling Yue not tell whether the old man was knocked down by her, but she was also willing to compensate, but she just took out all the five taels of silver on her body, and the pair of ancestors and grandchildren were still too little, and tore Ling Yue's clothes one by one, not letting her leave.

"I don't know where these two scoundrels suddenly appeared, and they were not knocked down by that young lady at all, I was next to me at the time, and there were four or five steps between them. ”

"Hmph, I have to rely on others not to say it, five taels of silver is too little. ”

"Yes. It is obvious that other girls are kind-hearted and thin-skinned, so they are stalked. If it were a different person, they would not dare to give them the courage. ”

Listening to the discussion among the surrounding onlookers, Wu Zheng wondered, what is the background of the old and young in front of him in broad daylight? If he is really a beggar, how can he have such courage?

Remembering the first time he came to Naolong Street on the evening of August 15 this year, when he was almost tripped by the old man Huazi who deliberately stretched his legs, Wu Zheng vaguely felt that there would be another hidden meaning in this?

Just as Wu Zheng was about to open his mouth to ask Ling Yue what was going on, suddenly there was a commotion outside the crowd.

Then I heard someone shouting:

"It's okay now, it's all out of the way, and the street patrol is coming. ”

Sure enough, two catchers with waist knives walked in through the gap in the crowd.

Since Ling Yue had been bowing her head and talking to the old and young people, she didn't see Wu Zheng squeezing in. Now that the catch is coming, Wu Zheng will no longer come out, want to see the results, and then go to Tiefu.

"What's going on, what's going on?!"

With the questioning of the two catchers, the old man and the young man suddenly turned around and knelt down at the feet of the catcher and shouted the grievances that hit the sky.

"Official, the little old man is over seventy years old, and he is begging on the street, and he doesn't want to be knocked to the ground from behind. The official looked at it, his forehead was broken, not to mention, and a lot of blood was shed. However, the young lady refused to pay compensation. Ask the official to be the master of the small people. ”

Before the old man's words fell, the onlookers next to him had already begun to heckle.

"It's really full of nonsense, the lady clearly said that she would give five taels of silver first, and if it was too little, she could go back to the house to get it. Now I see that the official errand is so reversed black and white. ”

"She knocked you down?"

"Exactly, please uphold justice. ”

One of the officials walked up to Ling Yue, took a closer look and asked:

"He's telling the truth?"

"The old man was not knocked down by a woman. ”

"Since you didn't knock it down, why do you have to pay the silver for compensation?"

As he spoke, he also looked at the five taels of silver in Ling Yue's hand.

The maiden was walking, still three or five steps away from the old man's house, and when she saw him fall suddenly, she hurriedly stepped forward to help him. As a result, the old man and the little brother had to say that the folk girl deliberately knocked him down. Seeing that they were outsiders living here, they kindly wanted to help their ancestors and grandchildren, so they took out the only five taels of silver on their bodies. ”

"Official, she is talking nonsense, obviously she knocked down her grandfather from behind, I saw it with my own eyes. ”

The little boy shouted loudly, his hands still clutching the hem of the cloak behind Ling Yue.

Ling Yue didn't wear a skirt today, because it was winter, so she wore a decent purple cotton coat, and a peacock blue cloak that reached the crook of her legs on her upper body.

"Since you all have your own reasons, come with us, and everything will be clarified when you get to the yamen. ”

Too much, Wu Zheng thought to himself that it was originally a very simple thing, whether it was hit by Ling Yue or not, since he was already willing to compensate five taels of silver, and said that if it was not enough, he could go back to the house with him to get it, so why bother to arrest it many times?

Besides, judging from the inconsistent statements of the old and the young in front of them, it should be more likely that they deliberately slandered people.

"Miss Yue'er, what's going on?"

Wu Zheng, who was about to step forward to argue for Ling Yue, was interrupted again. Moreover, the person who came was an acquaintance, and it turned out to be Tie Ning's personal girl Xiaomei.

"Sister Xiaomei, it's nothing, it's the old man who insisted that he was knocked down by his sister, and it is too little to pay him five taels of silver. And these two officials were about to ask their sister to go to the yamen to make it clear. ”

"Miss Yue'er is a guest of our Iron Mansion, and I have something to say to the Iron Mansion. ”

Xiaomei said loudly, and forcefully broke the hand of the little boy who was still holding Ling Yue's cloak, and was about to pull Ling Yue back.

When did Ling Yue get together with Tie Ning?

Since Xiaomei is here, then Tie Ning must be at home, and Wu Zheng is no longer worried about Tie Ning's safety.

"Young Master?!"

When she turned around, Xiaomei inadvertently saw Wu Zheng standing in the crowd looking at her with a smile on her face, hurriedly let go of Ling Yue, and ran over to salute Wu Zheng.

"Lord Wu?!"

Ling Yue obviously didn't expect to be here, and when she met Wu Zheng at such an embarrassing time, she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Wu Zheng with a slightly red face.

Wu Zheng didn't bother to return the salute to Ling Yue, because he found that the old man and the young man who were originally dead beggars were about to squeeze out of the crowd and escape, so he couldn't help but take two steps forward, wanting to leave him behind and ask him clearly. The old man, who originally thought that he had been caught, slipped without leaving his hand, broke free from Wu Zheng's hands, got into the crowded crowd with one end, and ran to the other end of Naolong Street.

The little boy was even more cunning, he didn't need to squeeze at all, and simply got out of the legs of the crowd watching the excitement.

"Xiaomei will lead Miss Lingyue back to the house, and I will come when I go. ”

After saying that, he glared at the two catchers who were stunned there, and quickly chased after the old man who suddenly became extremely vigorous and could no longer see Long Zhong's old state. (To be continued.) )
