Chapter Seventy-Four: The Strange Hemp Paper Ingot
Tang You was slightly stunned, looked at the green waist, and asked, "What did you say?" ”
The green waist looked at the door panel and said, "Qu Nanyi, he's here." ”
Old Man Tang frowned and said, "Didn't the old man say that Master Qu went out?" Did he lie? How do you know that Master Qu is here? ”
The green waist didn't reply, just glanced at Tang You.
Tang You looked at the green waist, looked at Li Tang's family, and then looked at Master Tang, finally gritted his teeth, ran to the back door in two steps, patted the door panel vigorously, and shouted: "Cousin, cousin!" You open the door! Something happened to my family! My aunt's son is lost, open the door! If you don't open the door, I won't leave today! ”
Before Tang You's words fell, the door opened with a creak.
Qu Nanyi appeared in front of everyone with a lantern, his hair scattered, a wide royal blue robe, and clogs.
Such a Qu Nanyi is very rare, lazy and sexy, as well as a trace of evil.
Li Tangshi didn't expect that it would be such a person who opened the door, and he was in a trance for a while.
Qu Nanyi said directly: "Come in and talk about it in detail." ”
Tang You said in surprise at an inopportune time: "Cousin, you are really at home!" Or my green waist is smart! Ha ha...... Hey, where's that old man in your family? This leg is fast enough. ”
Qu Nanyi didn't answer, just led the way for everyone with a lantern.
The royal blue robe was like a blue flame as he walked, glowing with an eerie and charming light. The clogs on the feet make a clear tapping sound on the bluestone, and it is methodical, as if it is striking on the heart of a person and leaving a mark.
The wind rose, the blue robe flew over, Qu Nanyi suddenly turned his head, glanced at the green waist, and hooked the corners of his lips, revealing a short and meaningful smile.
The green waist turned a blind eye and followed behind Tang You in a daze, like an honest and a little silly girl.
The Qunan people led everyone to the stone table in the courtyard, hung up the lanterns, and motioned for everyone to sit down and talk.
Master Tang was flattered, hurriedly lifted his buttocks, carefully sat on the stool, and said politely: "Disturb the adults late at night, I hope the adults will forgive me......"
Tang You pulled Li Tang to sit on the stool, interrupted Master Tang's polite words as soon as he spoke, and said anxiously: "Cousin, my aunt's Lin'er is lost, you can quickly send someone to help find it." ”
Qu Nanyi looked at Li Tang's and asked, "Tell me, how old is that Lin'er?" Where and when were you lost? Let's go into more detail. ”
Li Tangshi didn't know whether to kneel down and reply, but seeing that Tang You and the others were sitting, it seemed a little inappropriate for him to kneel down suddenly, so he tried to calm down his emotions, and made a squatting salute to Qu Nanyi, and then replied: "Lord Hui, the folk woman Li Tangshi, wanted to go back to her brother's house to live for a few days today, but she lost Lin'er in the county's East Street Market. At that time, it was the unitary time. ”
Qu Nanyi asked, "Youshi?" The bustle of the East Street Market has passed, there should not be many pedestrians on the street, how did you lose Lin'er? ”
Li Tang's eyes were a little evasive, and he didn't reply.
Tang You hurriedly said, "Auntie, what else can't you say?" If you do this again, I don't care about you! ”
Li Tang hurriedly said: "I said, I said." I don't know what to think, and the tears flowed again. She sniffed, hung her head and said: "That episode has long been dispersed, and there are not many people, and the women are reluctant to take the car in order to save a few copper plates, so they just walk with Lin'er in their arms." I don't know if it was the good luck of the people's women, but they saw scattered copper plates on the ground. The woman stooped down to pick it up, and when she picked it up, she went to a remote place, and saw some silver ingots scattered around! Raising his head, he glanced at Qu Nan quickly, and then hurriedly lowered his head, and said with shame and anxiety, "The folk woman is greedy for money, and when she sees so much silver, she thinks that if she doesn't pick it up, she will ...... put Lin'er on the ground and let him play by himself......" covered his face with his hands, and cried, "The women can't imagine that Lin'er is just lost and can't be found." The women went looking for it street by street, but they didn't see my Lin'er. Knowing this, the women ...... Women's ...... Even if you see a box of gold, you won't pick it up! ”
Qu Nan groaned for a moment and asked, "What about the silver?" Take a look. ”
Li Tang knew that he wanted to see the official, and he was afraid that he would have to pay homage, so he brought all the silver with him. At this time, seeing Qu Nanyi asking, he hurriedly replied: "Take it, take it." As he spoke, he went to untie the package he was carrying.
Except for a change of dress, the package was filled with copper plates and silver ingots that she had picked up.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw that Li Tang opened the package, but when they saw the contents clearly.
Tang You shouted, "This ...... What is it?! ”
Master Tang picked up an ingot, pinched it with his hand, and held it back.
Li Tang picked up those ingots and said in horror: "How can this be? How can this be? This...... What is it? ”
Tang You's eyes widened and asked, "Auntie, did you pick up silver ingots or ...... Or a hemp paper ingots burned for the dead? ”
Li Tang screamed, "Silver! I'm picking up silver! Where's my silver ingot? Where's the silver ingot?! Who stole my silver ingot?! ”
Qu Nanyi said coldly: "Don't be impatient. ”
Li Tangshi immediately closed his mouth, but he still looked incredulous.
Qu Nanyi picked up a paper ingot, looked at it, and asked, "Are you sure you're picking up silver ingots?" ”
Li Tang nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, the folk woman picked up a silver ingot." As if to prove herself, she hurriedly rummaged through her sleeve pocket, "By the way, there are copper plates picked up by the women here, please look at ...... adults."
There was nothing in the sleeve pocket, except for ...... A handful of ash.
Li Tangshi was dumbfounded, and muttered to himself, "How is it possible? How could it be, how could it be? My silver ingots, my copper plates, my ...... My Lin'er ......"
Qu Nanyi looked at the ashes and furrowed his eyebrows.
The copper plate turned into paper ash, and the silver ingot became a hemp paper ingot.
Could it be that after Li Tang picked up the silver taels, someone stole the beams and replaced the pillars and replaced the copper plates with paper ashes? Swapped silver ingots for hemp ingots?
No, if someone steals Li Tang's silver taels, there is no need to steal the beams and pillars so hard, just steal the silver taels. Unless, someone is suspicious, so that everyone can't figure it out.
Thinking of this, Qu Nanyi asked, "Li Tang, after you picked up those silver taels, have you ever weighed their weight?" ”
Li Tangshi held back his tears, thought about it, and suddenly made a clever move, and replied: "Lord Hui, I didn't think it at the time, I just cared about picking up silver." After picking up the silver, he found that Lin'er had lost it, so he was busy looking for Lin'er, and he didn't pay attention to whether the package was sinking or not. But in retrospect, there were about a hundred taels of silver, and it was not difficult for the women to carry them. ...... even touched his shoulder with his hand, "and he didn't even feel a trace of discomfort in this arm." Just like ...... It's like not carrying these silver taels on your back. ”
