Chapter 1005: The Troubles of the Melon Farmer
The summer is getting stronger, the wind in Chang'an City is gradually getting hotter, and at this time, the entire Chang'an City is suddenly unprecedentedly lively.
There is no other reason, this season is the time of the people's harvest, and whether the people of Chang'an can fill their stomachs in the coming year depends on whether their fields have a good harvest at this time.
This year's rain is sufficient, so the harvest is not bad, although the people outside the city are hard, but their faces are full of smiles, of course, the reason why they are so happy is that in addition to this year's good harvest, there is also the emperor's benevolence and love for the people, often reduce taxes, the officials of Chang'an City love the people like children, and no one has ever done anything to oppress the people.
Everyone is very happy and happy, and when Hualang and they see that the people here are well fed and clothed, they are also a little relieved, although they are not court officials, and they have no right to participate in the formulation of national policies, but the people are kind, and they are very pleased to see that the people are rich, no matter who they are, they feel very pleased, right?
What's more, as the old saying goes, Da will help the world, Hua Lang's current status and prestige can be called Da, in this case, why not have the world in mind?
The people in the fields are very happy, and some vegetable farmers are also very happy, because at this time, many vegetables are ripe, such as cucumbers, and so on.
At this time, the people can have a lot of income, those who have grown grain can sell grain, and those who have planted vegetables can sell vegetables, but sometimes, there are troubles.
On this day, Hualang and others were wandering outside the city, they wanted to feel the joy of the people's harvest, but when they walked to a vegetable field, they found that the couple who planted vegetables were crying, which made Hualang and Wen Meng and others feel a little incredible, the vegetables in this vegetable field are growing gratifyingly, and it can be regarded as a bumper harvest, but since it is a bumper harvest, why are they crying?
Walking forward, Hua Lang bowed his hand slightly and said, "Why are you two crying?" ”
The couple who planted vegetables was about forty or fifty years old, and the crying man sighed at this time, and said: "I don't know if it was the one who killed a thousand knives and stole the vegetables in our vegetable field, this is the result of my wife and I have worked hard for several months, and we have worked hard every day to carry water for irrigation, but I didn't expect that those thieves would actually eat ready-made ......" As soon as the man was aggrieved, he said endlessly, and after Hua Lang and Wen Meng understood, they frowned slightly.
It wasn't a big deal for them, but for the vegetable grower, it was a big deal for their livelihood, and they felt that the thief who stole the vegetables was so hateful that they had to find a way to catch the thief.
After some thought, Hanarang asked, "Is there no one for you to guard here at night?" ”
The couple nodded: "There is no guard, originally this Chang'an City is under the governance of Lord Li, it can be said that it does not close the door at night, we don't worry about the food being stolen at all, but there are always a few exceptions in the world, they see that our husband and wife are easy to bully, so they steal our vegetables, we ...... We're going to report to the police, and let Master Li find the thief......" The two men said as they left their fellows and went into the city.
At this time, Hua Lang hurriedly stopped them and said, "If you two can trust me Hua Lang, how about I help you find the thief?" ”
After listening to Hua Lang's words, the couple was suddenly shocked, and the man asked in disbelief, "You...... What did you just say your name was? ”
Hua Lang said very humbly: "Under Hua Lang! ”
Hearing this, the couple suddenly knelt down for Hua Lang and said, "It turned out to be a playboy, then we are really saved, the dandy name, we mountain village men have all heard of it, and now there is a playboy to help, what thief can't find it?" ”
Hua Lang didn't expect that his influence was so far-reaching, even this vegetable farmer knew his name, I think these vegetable farmers often go to the city to sell vegetables, more or less have heard the story of the Hua Lang detective, after all, many of the stories of the Hua Lang detective are said to be storytelling, and there are not a few people who gather together every day to listen.
Seeing that the vegetable farmers trusted him so much, Hua Lang felt that he would definitely not be able to live up to their trust, so he hurriedly helped them up and said, "Don't worry, I will help you find this thief." Hua Lang said, glanced at the vegetable farmer's vegetable field, he found that this vegetable field is very large, if you want people to watch, you need at least five or six people, but they don't have so many people now, and the thieves can't guard against it, squatting is definitely not a good way, if squatting, those thieves don't take action, then I'm afraid they won't be able to catch them in the future.
After some thought, Hua Lang said to them, "You can go home and rest as usual tonight, and this is left to us." ”
The vegetable farmers really trusted Hua Lang, and after listening to Hua Lang's words, they nodded again and again, and they didn't even ask Hua Lang how they caught the thief.
After the vegetable farmers agreed, Hua Lang took a look at the vegetables in the field, and found that the cucumbers were the most, after seeing it like this, Hua Lang smiled slightly and nodded, as if he had a comprehensive plan, Wen dreamed of this, and asked, "What do you want to do, why don't we stay here tonight?" ”
Hua Lang smiled: "No, let's go home and rest as usual, and we will discuss everything tomorrow." ”
It was as if he hadn't taken these things to heart at all, but even so, the vegetable farmer couple still believed in him, as if they had never doubted him.
Hanarang should be gratified to be able to make people trust him like this.
But even so, Wen Meng didn't give up, and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
Hua Lang smiled, and then said his own method, after everyone listened, although they felt that this method was a little troublesome, but it was the only feasible way for them now, so everyone did not dare to delay, and began to act again and again, when they finished doing this, it was late, because the city gate was about to close, everyone hurried back.
On the way back, everyone was very tired, but they were very happy, they were like those people outside the city, because they lived a full life, so they didn't feel that every day was wasted, even if the money was not very much, but they were very happy.
Of course, in addition to being happy, everyone is still worried about tomorrow's events, although Hanaro is very sure about this matter, but nothing can be said to be 100% according to imagination until it is determined, so whether their actions will succeed tomorrow, whether they will be able to catch those thieves, is still unknown, since it is unknown, it is natural to worry about it.
