Chapter 35: Arrest
A fist-sized piece of wood fell to the ground, and everyone stood in place in amazement, and the original noise turned into silence.
It was a fist-sized piece of wood, only one side of which was painted red, and the rest of it was white stubble, and from the few semicircular hollows on it, it was obvious that the wood had just been grabbed from a random building somewhere, and the force was absolutely terrifying.
Xu Chen could vaguely feel that the cultivator who threw this thing should be in a certain street behind him, but it was not close to here, and throwing it at such a distance, it could still have such a great force when it fell on the body of that yacha, and its cultivation was so high.
What's more, the crowd behind Xu Chen was very crowded, and this seemingly ordinary wooden block could accurately pass through the gaps of the crowd, and the subtlety of the technique was already self-evident.
Naturally, there are many masters in the capital Boyan, but the laws of the imperial court are also extremely strict, and the cultivators use cultivation to pick quarrels and provoke troubles in the downtown area, which is a crime of one more degree, so these yamen yamen have rarely seen such incidents, and they are all stupid there, and they dare not move.
The yamen of the yamen are ordinary people, or at least those who walk outside all the year round to maintain law and order, and if they meet a mind cultivator, the only thing they can do is the law, and there is only a dead end in hard work.
Seeing this, the crowd of people who were interested in it suddenly cracked a huge opening, but behind them was still a noisy street market, and there was no suspicious person at all.
Just when everyone was confused, they saw that the small stall owner swept the coarse cloth spread on the ground upwards at a lightning speed, and the small objects on the stall instantly formed a package.
The stall owner put the package on his shoulder and "fled", and when he passed by Xu Chen, he put the wooden carriage in Xu Chen's arms, "There will be a period later!"
Before the yacha could react, the stall owner disappeared into the vast crowd.
"Will there be a date later?"
Xu Chen is a little wooden, and this kind of person will have a period in the future, so I don't know how much trouble I will incur, so it's better not to see him. Even at this point, it's a question of whether he can return it with his whole body. After all, he still had the wooden carriage in his hand, and at this time, it was not a handicraft, but the physical evidence of a "fugitive"!
As expected, after a while, everyone turned their attention to Xu Chen, including the few yacha and, of course, the leader who had just gotten up.
Dealing with cases will never be empty-handed, this is the habit of the yacha, and it is also the "absolute truth".
The leading yacha slowly came to Xu Chen, went up and down, and finally set his eyes on his hand.
It seems that the mysterious cultivator's strength is very accurate, and he did not hurt this yacha, which made Xu Chen admire it even more from the bottom of his heart.
"You!"
Yacha shouted, "What are you holding in your hand?" He naturally knew that it was the stall owner who stuffed it into Xu Chen's arms, but as a law enforcer, he had to interrogate step by step, and all the answers had to be said from the suspect's mouth before they could be counted.
Xu Chen looked at the yacha in front of him innocently, he naturally knew what the yacha wanted to do, these yacha were the lowest-ranking civil servants in the Boyan Mansion, and they were much different from ordinary arrests, but their ability should not be underestimated.
"I said I don't recognize that stall owner, do you believe it?" Xu Chen said a little innocently.
Yacha smiled slightly, subconsciously touched his waist, and said in a weird way: "Do you think I will believe it?"
Xu Chen handed out the pony cart and whispered, "This is what he stuffed into my hands, I ......"
"There are so many people here, he doesn't have anything to stuff into your hands?" Yacha asked in a cold voice, with that expression as if to say, this case has been closed, setting up stalls on the street indiscriminately, attacking public officials, and Xu Chen has to carry all the charges alone.
"I ......"
Xu Chen was already speechless at this time, but he was extremely angry in his heart, scolding the little stall owner's stinky shamelessness, "You said, you ran away and ran away, what did you stuff into my hand?"
Looking at Xu Chen's embarrassed expression, Yacha was extremely happy, this evil breath could finally come out, regardless of whether he was the real "culprit", "If you have nothing to say, then come with us." ”
As he spoke, the yacha whispered in Xu Chen's ear: "You can be silent, and you must be silent, otherwise I will keep you silent forever." ”
"Take it away!"
The yacha shouted, and several other yacha swarmed up, twisting Xu Chen's arm behind his back, and the carriage fell to the ground and shattered into several halves.
When the leading yacha saw this scene, he immediately stopped a person and said loudly: "Pick it up quickly, this is physical evidence, don't lose it!"
Under the escort of several officials, Xu Chen walked out of the crowd. If he wanted to resist, these yacha were naturally not his opponents, but this was the capital of the empire, not a place where he could spread wild, not to mention that the other party was a member of the yamen.
The main thing is that Xu Chen doesn't think it's a big deal, and when he goes to the yamen to explain the situation, it shouldn't be like it, if he resists, then this matter will really make a big fuss.
Even so, Xu Chen was extremely depressed, on the first day he came to Boyan, he didn't eat a bite of food, and he was so curious!
At the moment when he walked out of the crowd, Xu Chen unconsciously looked at an alley in the distance, and at some point, an old man with a white beard had walked out, with a smile on his ruddy face, looking at himself comfortably, and he was holding half a string of sugar gourds in his hand at random.
Xu Chen's heart suddenly tightened, and he said secretly: "Could it be him who just made a move?"
In a few breaths, Xu Chen confirmed his guess, because a black-faced young man with a black face on his back also walked out of the alley and came to the white-bearded old man's side, as if he was still talking about something.
"Hey, where he is!"
Xu Chen turned his head and shouted at the leading yacha, and kept pointing in the direction of the street with his chin.
However, when he turned his head to look at the street again, there was no one there. Not surprisingly, a moment later, Xu Chen received two blows on his head.
"Good guy! Dare to tease me at this time! Look back at the house and don't clean you up!"
"Make a note for him again, tease the public servant!"
Xu Chen shook his head in distress, looked at the direction of the street and scolded secretly: "You said it! There will be a period later! When I see you again, I won't beat you up!"
......
Boyan City.
In a remote alley in Dongcheng District.
A dark-faced young man sighed and said to a white-bearded old man opposite, "You were too slow to strike just now! ”
The white-bearded old man bowed and said ashamedly, "Childe, what, I just bought a sugar gourd." ”
As he spoke, he raised the half string of sugar gourds in his hand and handed it to the black-faced young man, "Besides, don't I have to find a weapon, it took a long time to buckle a piece of wood from a pillar, so it's a little late." ”
"Then can't the sugar gourd in your hand be used as a weapon?" the black-faced boy was furious.
The white-bearded old man smiled and said, "What a waste of that, the taste of this sugar gourd is really good, why don't you taste it too?"
As he spoke, the white-bearded old man put the half string of sugar gourds to the black-faced young man's mouth, looking very cute, like a half-grown child.
"That's it!"
The black-faced young man took the sugar gourd and threw it to the ground, "You said you, you will get some useless one day, if I was caught by them just now, see if you still have the leisure to eat bullshit sugar gourd here!"
The old man looked at the sugar gourd that was thrown to the ground, his face was ugly and distressed, and then he said angrily: "Childe, you are too wasteful! Money is not so squandered! Besides, this is not bought with your money!"
After a pause, the old man continued: "Childe, don't you have nothing......? Well, you actually set up a stall here, if your mother knows, you will wait to be punished!" As he spoke, the old man winked at the black-faced young man, slightly naughty.
Listening to the old man's words similar to threat, the black-faced young man was even more annoyed, shook the package on his back vigorously, looked at the old man angrily, and said in a low but extremely stern voice: "If you dare to tell my mother, you see that I will not pee in your teapot in the future." ”
Hearing this, the old man was obviously a little dumbfounded, and said with a slight twist: "Childe, what, you have grown up, so you have to understand something, and you are not a child, although the child's urine can detoxify all kinds of poisons, and you can also go to the fire." But the taste is really not good, far worse than this sugar gourd. ”
The black-faced young man ignored him, was silent for a moment and said, "You really have to go to the yamen later, otherwise that kid won't be stripped of his skin!"
"It's okay! You don't know him, won't I have to cause trouble if I go?"
The old man's face was full of reluctance.
"He's my confidant!"
The black-faced boy shouted, "After so many years, he is the first person who can understand my work, how can you say that we don't know each other?"
The old man shook his head helplessly and said, "Childe, I can't go! This is not a big deal, if I come forward, this matter will make a big fuss!"
"No!
The black-faced young man's eyes widened, and there was really some domineering spirit between his eyebrows, "You have your own hot trouble, you have to go to level it yourself! Could it be that you want me to go in person?"
The old man's face was surprised, and his voice was raised several octaves, "I'm in trouble? If you don't have to be idle, and you have to come out to do your little business, can I suffer this crime with you? If you don't provoke those errand boys, can I just take action? Now you're angry with me! Tell you, if you force me again, I'll tell your mother, and I'll tell you ......."
"Okay! Go and complain, I'll just say that you asked me to do this, as a teacher, you don't follow the good path, but don't learn and don't know how to eat, and you still buy sugar gourds in the downtown to eat, you see what the result will be!"
The black-faced boy began to mess around, "And that's not all, I'm going to pee in your teapot, spit in your rice bowl, sprinkle steel needles on your bed, and throw poisonous snakes in your toilet!"
After saying that, the black-faced young man turned around and left angrily, leaving behind the old man with a stunned face.
"I've been moldy for a few lifetimes, and I'm not like your father at all!"
The old man lowered his head and muttered, and after thinking for a while, he sighed: "Alas, he is really capable, I don't know if he will do other things, pee in my teapot, you did a great job when you were a child!
As he spoke, the old man put his hands behind his back and walked leisurely towards the alley, and kept persuading himself: "It's okay! Anyway, that kid was wronged, I'll help you!"
