Chapter Seventy-Seven: It Turned Out to Be the Best Scoundrel
When Wang Erniang cried happily, Wang Fulin held her shoulders and let her sit down. Although he was a little afraid that this little girl had almost done something stupid at the beginning, he didn't plan to continue teaching at this time. He tried to get a little bit of the old liar from the mouth of the most important person. It's a pity that Wang Erniang doesn't know much, but she just hurriedly took a look with people, remembering that people are around sixty years old, their faces are wrinkled, and the rest of their features seem to be indistinguishable from everyone. However, she also clearly remembered the names of the books she had copied.
"Didn't my brother love to read the notes of the literati in the Tang and Song dynasties in the past, and he was reprimanded by his father? I remember that in these books, there are "Tang Jiayan", "Ming Emperor Miscellaneous Records", "Jade Pot Qinghua", as well as "The Biography of Huo Xiaoyu" and several other legendary compilation of legends into a collection of legends, a whole dozen copies, I flipped through them, all of them were just printed, the asking price was cheap, and I could even smell the ink, so I bought it. Speaking of which, Wang Erniang didn't care that her eyes were still swollen like peaches, and glanced at Wang Fulin proudly, "When my brother used to read these idle books, my little sister and I covered up!" ”
Wang Fulin unconsciously thought of the experience of peeking at novels in class when he was a child, and he couldn't help but be angry and funny. However, seeing that Wang Erniang had regained his former state, he was also in a much more relaxed mood, and pulled out the silver hairpin that bundled his hair, and dismantled the little girl's mustache that had just thrown herself into his arms, so he dismantled the messy mustache, and then said with a smile: "It's a pity that your kindness fed the liar's donkey liver and lungs." I know all this, you go back and find me the book, and I'll go back to the city in a while, and you can wait for your brother to avenge you!" ”
"Brother, you're bullying me again!" Wang Erniang was hurriedly pulling her hair, but when she heard the last sentence, she was stunned, and quickly raised her head, only then did she remember that her brother's trip back to Songming Mountain was completely for herself. She bit her lip and finally asked with mixed feelings, "Can you really catch someone?" ”
"How do you know if you don't try?" Wang Fulin stretched out his hand and rubbed Wang Erniang's frowning brows again, and smiled again, "You told you before, don't frown at a young age, do you want to be an old woman?" You take a break here to adjust your mood, and when you have eyebrows, I'll pick you up and let you see the fate of that liar with your own eyes! ”
When He Wei got the girl's report, saying that Wang Fulin was leaving and she hurriedly came to these three halls to meet guests, she saw that Wang Erniang, who had been depressed for several days and didn't like to talk, was already cheerful, and suddenly secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that Wang Fulin was still in a hurry to return to the county seat, in this hot weather, it was not easy to bring other things, so she ordered someone to reward the two sedan chair men who sent Wang Fulin here, and took two of Wang Daokun's new books to give away, and specially stuffed Wang Fulin with a pair of silver bills, saying that it was okay to keep it for fun and reward people. Kang Da and the others also got double the reward, so they were naturally happy, but Wang Fulin was not so easy.
Don't look at his promise in front of Wang Erniang, he actually doesn't have much bottom in his heart. After all, he has never investigated a case, and this kind of thing requires not only brains, but also manpower!
Wang Fulin came out of Wang Daokun's house, and did not rush back to the city, but went home and asked Wang Qi's daughter-in-law to make some noodles casually, and let the two palanquin men in Kangda stay and eat, and he filled his stomach casually, so he asked Wang Qi to lead the way, and crossed the Fengle River to Xixinan Village on the opposite side, intending to visit several victims here. Because the first time he came here, the first thing he did was to find the boy who had come to his house to make trouble.
According to Wang Daoguan, the scammer first went to the child, pretending that the Wang family in Songmingshan wanted to buy the four hand-copied Tang Dynasty scrolls, and then went to the door of Wang's house to pretend to beg for water to drink, and mixed in and pretended to sell books, but in fact, he made the child who found him think that he was the Wang family. The boy wanted to sell at a high price, but when he arrived at Wang's house, he found that the old liar was really sitting in the house drinking tea, so he thought that the Wang family wanted to buy it, and the monk couldn't run away from the temple and left all four books first. As a result, the old liar rolled up his things and ran away after the fact, and Tong Sheng found out that he had been deceived, but he relied on Wang Erniang for nothing, which was the previous scene.
When he arrived at the ground, Wang Qi, who was already deeply disgusted by the deceived child, slammed the door loudly. Suddenly, the door was finally impatiently opened, and a young man of eighteen or nineteen appeared in front of the master and servant.
I saw that this person had a pointed chin, small eyes, and a straight coat of green silk that looked like a new straight stroke. He raised his eyebrows when he recognized Wang Qi, and shouted in a sharp voice: "The matter is over, why are you still entangled?" If it weren't for Second Master Wang, I would have gone to the yamen to seek justice! ”
Wang Qi was furious and was about to ridicule him, when Wang Fulin behind him asked, "What justice do you want?" Do you want to be deceived by others because you are insatiable in your greed, but you rely on the justice of others? ”
The young man glanced at Wang Fulin, but did not answer, but sneered to himself: "I don't have time to grind my teeth with you, there is a poetry club in the orchard today, and I am about to go to socialize!" If you really want to say something, go there and say it. However, I don't think you have the skills to set foot in the orchard! ”
Seeing that this person left his words and walked away, Wang Qi was so angry that he trembled, and he wanted to catch up with the theory with one arrow step. Wang Fulin quickly grabbed him: "He was like this when he came to the house before?" ”
"At that time, it was even more annoying than now, and he even threatened that if he didn't pay him, he would call all the people in the village, and then hang himself at the door of our house, so the second girl would almost ...... under the shame and anger" Wang Qi said this abruptly, and then said angrily, "It's a scoundrel!" ”
At this moment, a neighbor next to him squeaked open the door, and a gray-haired head poked out: "That's right, this kid is a scoundrel." ”
Wang Fulin was furious when he heard this, and when he saw that it was an old man, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Uncle is very familiar with him?" ”
"I've been a neighbor for so many years, can I not be familiar with it? This Wu Yourong is the only son in the family, his father and mother died and lived by himself, and he failed in several exams. Today, there is a poetry club in the orchard of the Wu family, and celebrities gather, of course he runs fast! ”
The old man who spoke went out of the door, but he was a little hunchbacked, he looked at Wang Qi who knocked on the door for a long time, and then looked at Wang Fulin and said, "You are Wang Xiaoguan from Songming Mountain Village across the river, right?" Hey, although there are also people in Xixi South Village who have been deceived, no one is as shameless as this Wu Yourong! ”
Hearing the three words shameless, Wang Fulin's heart suddenly moved: "Could it be that he wasn't deceived at all?" ”
"Scammed? He's crazy about money! He only knows how to read dead books all day long, and the poems he makes are not comprehensible, and a few acres of good land can be rented out, but he has to pay high rents, hire long-term laborers, and refuse to bid, and in the end they are all abandoned, and he can't sell them if he wants to. He pondered a few ancient books left by his ancestors, and sold them whenever he met people, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was four hundred taels! There are a lot of people in our Xixi South Village, who doesn't know the goods, except for the old liar, who will pay four hundred taels to buy his things? No, the liar will rely on your family to deceive him. If it weren't for the second master Wang to be reasonable, this kid would have insisted that he would go to the county government to file a complaint, otherwise how could he get the money? ”
I thought it was bad luck to meet a liar at home, but I didn't expect to run into a scoundrel!
Although he was furious in his heart, Wang Fulin still thanked the warm-hearted old man, and then said his intention to visit the victim today. Knowing that Wang Fulin wanted to go to the county town to try to solve this series of cases, the old man was greatly surprised, stared at Wang Fulin for a long time, and finally nodded.
"It's no wonder that these days, all the legends of petty officials are circulating outside, and they are really good offspring who are responsible, not only thinking about their own family, but also thinking about other families! Needless to say, little old man will lead the way, and I will lead you to find someone! ”
Although the hunchbacked old man lived in an ordinary house and wore only ordinary clothes, he seemed to be very young. He took Wang Fulin and Wang Qi's master and servant to walk in Xixi South Village, and the older ones called Wu Qige, and the younger ones called Wu Qiye, with him by his side as a guarantee, the process of searching for the victim was also smooth sailing. The victim's family even knows everything, lest they miss any details. And Wang Fulin was afraid that his memory would not be reliable, so he simply asked for a pen and paper to record it, and in the end, everything was over, so he took Wang Qi to send this Wu Qiye home.
Needless to say, the door of the house next to it is still closed, and it is obvious that the best boy has not come back yet.
"It's not early, if the little official wants to go back to the county, let's leave quickly, don't wait for that kid, what do you want to say from his mouth!"
"I can save it, thank you Wu Qiye today."
Wang Fulin bowed and sent the hunchbacked old man into the house, seeing that the two doors were closed, he looked at the mottled gate next to him, the smile on his face was gone, and there was a little more itchy hatred.
Although Wang Qi is an old servant of the Wang family, the former Wang Fulin is withdrawn and silent, but he is more familiar with the current Wang Fulin. At this moment, seeing the little master standing in front of the door in a daze, he had no choice but to step forward and remind in a low voice: "Little official, let's not go back?" ”
"That old liar doesn't know the roots, and he won't be able to catch it for a while, but if he can't even give this scoundrel a little bit of power, I really can't swallow this breath, Erniang can't let people bully in vain!"
