Chapter 869: The Third City

In May, the temperature in Lingnan rises suddenly, and the rain gradually increases.

A summer rain quietly came, enveloping the entire city of Guangzhou in a curtain of rain, crisscrossing the blue brick streets and hiding pedestrians from the eaves on both sides to hide from the rain.

"What a wicked day is, how can there be so much rain?" A vegetable farmer in a blue suit complained as he set aside a bamboo basket and wiped the rain on his face with his sleeve.

The fishmonger who got to the eaves first took out a rice ball from the basket and replied as he gulped it: "What year is there to complain about if it doesn't rain so much?" ”

"It's not that there is too much rain, but that the days of the guys have passed, and we all have money-making jobs to do now, so we all want to make less rain!" The butcher who had just been squeezed out said wisely.

As soon as everyone heard this, whether they were a petty trader or a laborer who sold his strength, they all nodded their heads in agreement with the view of the bare-armed butcher.

It's not that there is more rain this year, but that everyone's days have become better, and they all want to have a good weather every day, so that everyone can earn more silver taels.

In the current city of Guangzhou, not only is the politics clear, but everyone has something to eat.

In the past, everyone talked about the most about all kinds of bad deeds of dog officials and bullies, but now it is who was punished and who made money to buy a house and marry a beautiful woman.

Even if a picky person sees the emergence of nursing homes and compulsory academies, coupled with the implementation of the "Junping Lijia Law", especially the city of Guangzhou is becoming more and more prosperous, they have to admit that the current officialdom is indeed worthy of praise.

"Where to run! Stop! ”

At this moment, a panicked young man ran towards him, and a group of servants braved the rain to chase after him, and one of the little girls stood out.

She is about ten years old, wearing a set of fast-catching uniforms, and the whole person looks energetic. But he was at the forefront, holding a short stick in his hand, and shouting loudly.

The fishmonger reacted the fastest, and rushed out in the rain with the basket in his hand. Faced with the young man who tried to flee away, he did not hesitate to attack his feet with a flat pole.

The young man watched the flat pole sweep over, and immediately exerted force under his feet, wanting to jump and dodge in one fell swoop. But there was a pain in his feet, which had fled from the small street, and he was already tired, and his body could not keep up with his thoughts at all.

Bang!

The fishmonger's shoulder swept heavily into the young man's feet, and the young man's ruffian face became distorted, and his whole body slammed forward, and his face slammed into the brick floor.

At this moment, the tiger girl and the catcher behind caught up.

Two wolf-like catchers stepped forward and picked up the young man who had fallen to pieces, and at the same time glared viciously: "Wang Si, you run, why don't you run?" ”

Wang Si faced the tiger girl, but begged for mercy: "Grandma, I haven't done anything bad, why do you want to arrest me?" ”

"I didn't do anything bad, why did you run away when you saw me?" Tiger Niu wiped a handful of rain and asked reasonably.

Wang Si had already had a statement, and immediately lowered his face and said, "I have ...... There's a problem with petty theft, which ...... Isn't it a thief's heart? ”

"Wang Si, don't quibble here! It is clear that you saw the wealth uprising, injured Mrs. Liu and robbed her of her silver, and you still didn't recruit it from the truth? Zhang Zhutou said unceremoniously.

Wang Si seemed to have suffered a great grievance, and immediately exclaimed: "Wronged! If I do such a thing, I will not die well! ”

"You must not die well! Do you know what Mrs. Liu is going to do with the silver? is to redeem his granddaughter, you are not robbing silver, you are breaking the free body of a little girl! Shen Yan came from behind, but she accused sharply.

"I see that he can't see the coffin and don't shed tears, Ben Catcher has to punch him a few times, so that he can understand what Tianli is!" Zhang Zhutou clenched his fist, looking vicious and hateful.

"I'll recruit! I'm recruiting! I really didn't know it was ransom money, and if I had, I wouldn't have done it! Wang Si faced all kinds of pressure, and finally chose to say repentantly.

Hu Niu drank Zhang Zhutou, who was about to punch and beat people, but said to Wang Si crisply: "Wang Si, where is the money you robbed, hurry up and return it to Granny Liu, Granny Liu has been anxious for a few days!" ”

"No need to look for it, here it is!" Ali walked from behind, threw the silver pair in her hand and said proudly.

Chirping......

The little golden monkey jumped to the side of the tiger girl proudly, as if inviting merit.

Wang Si looked at this scene and found that these people simply had the ability to reach the sky, and they were really unjust, and they could only live honestly in Guangzhou City in the future.

"Take him away!"

With a wave of her little hand, the tiger girl immediately walked towards the mansion in a hurry.

The people under the eaves clearly looked at this scene of catching thieves in the rain, and watched this evil thief confess his guilt and be arrested and escorted away, but they couldn't help but applaud, which was undoubtedly a great good deed.

"Who is this little girl?" A foreigner dressed in a scholar's costume looked at a little girl who was leading the thief, but he couldn't help but ask curiously.

The butcher watched the rain gradually stop, and gave a thumbs up with great pride: "She is Lin Leigong's sister Tiger Girl, our little catcher in Guangzhou City!" ”

"The sister of the dignified prefect, the official family will help catch the thief?" When the stranger heard this, he was even more surprised.

The greengrocer proudly replied, "What is this?" Whether it is a big case or a small case, as long as there is a grievance in our Guangzhou City, Hu Niu will not stand idly by! ”

When the stranger heard this, he was immediately surprised, but when he found that the fishmonger had followed the yacha back to the palace, he asked suspiciously, "Why did the fishmonger follow him?" Is this a crime, and he should be imprisoned? ”

"How could he be guilty! This time he is assisting the Yamen to catch the thief, and he is going to receive the certificate and reward! The butcher looked at the fishmonger in the distance with envy and explained with envy in his eyes.

The vegetable seller was about to pick up the burden of vegetables, and added on the side: "This reward is a trivial matter, if you have a certificate, you can directly meet the county uncle if you encounter a grievance!" ”

The rain had stopped, and the crowd had dispersed.

This seems to be a trivial matter, but seeing the subtleties shows that the current Guangzhou city is indeed very different.

The spirit of the foreigner is extraordinary, and he is not an ordinary person at first glance, but he stroked his beard and sighed: "It is said that Guangzhou City can be called the third city of the Ming Dynasty, and now when I see it, it is really better to see it than to hear it!" ”
