Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 62
Shi Jian's movements were still very fast, Gao Ming didn't sit down for a while, she ran over with a group of armored street patrolling Marquis Wu.

After coming to Gao Ming's side, she immediately handed the waist badge to Gao Ming with both hands.

"Your Highness, here is your fish charm!"

Gao Ming nodded, then took the waist badge from her hand and hung it on his waist again, before looking at the team patrolling Wuhou.

"Aren't you from Wuhou Yamen on Xuanwu Street?"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, the leading Marquis Wu saluted Gao Ming with his hands clasped.

"That's right! May I ask what your Highness's order is for summoning the low-ranking people?"

Seeing his nervous expression, Gao Ming smiled and waved to him.

"No big deal, just catching a little thief."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the street patrolling Marquis Wu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, just now they were really worried that Gao Ming asked them to arrest a certain court official or noble son. You know, it is not a good thing for little people like them to be involved in such incidents, but it is no problem to catch small thieves. If you have the ability, who will be a thief?

So at this time, Marquis Wu, who was the leader, immediately raised his fist towards Gao Ming with an upright face.

"Your Highness, that humble official will order people to seal off the inn and arrest them!"

Before he finished speaking, Gao Ming immediately raised his palm, then shook his head with a smile.

"No, you just stay here with me and wait for you. He will come out later. If he doesn't resist, you don't have to do anything. I will make my own decision then!"

"Yes!"

Although Gao Ming didn't let them enter the store to arrest people, the Marquis Wu didn't just stand there stupidly, but consciously sealed off the surrounding area, like a big net enclosing the entire inn layer by layer.

Seeing this scene, the people who were going in stopped immediately, and then whispered around.

To put it simply, these people are the so-called "people who don't know the truth".

Naturally, the movement outside could not be concealed from the people inside. After a while, the hurried guests of the inn came out from inside in a panic. The Marquis Wu saw that Gao Ming didn't move, so they didn't stop them.

Soon, the owner of the inn also came out. After he came out, he quickly bowed to the leader Wuhou.

"This official, I don't know what happened, can you tell the little old man?"

As he said that, he took out a small bunch of copper coins from his pocket, about two or three hundred wen, and handed it directly to that Marquis Wu.

"It's just a little bit, I invite the officials to have a cup of tea..."

If it was normal, Marquis Wu would naturally not refuse this "extra money", but now in front of Gao Ming, they dare not accept the money, but pushed the innkeeper's hand away with a serious face.

"You old man, what are you doing with the money?"

As soon as his words fell, several other Marquis Wu also spoke up.

"How can I accept these dumb things from you when I act in accordance with the law?"

"It's none of your business here, let's go!"

"That's right, you better leave quickly!"

Looking at these Wuhous with "upright faces", the innkeeper was a little dumbfounded - they are obviously not like this usually!
He didn't understand, but Gao Ming's heart was like a mirror, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
"This group of guys must have seen me here and acted deliberately. Damn it, at least they have to be subtle? The voice is still so loud, I'm afraid I won't be able to hear it..."

Originally, Gao Ming didn't want to care about it, but seeing the innkeeper's bewildered expression, Gao Ming couldn't help but stood up and walked over.

Gao Ming walked directly to his side, then reached out and took out a few pieces of broken silver from his pocket.

"Old man, my subordinates are rude. I'm really sorry to disturb your business. If you accept the money, I will give you compensation!"

As soon as the innkeeper heard Gao Ming's words, he immediately understood that the young man in brocade clothes in front of him was the leader, but when he saw that he was about to give him money, he shook his head vigorously.

"My lord, how dare I accept your money, I can't do it, I really can't do it..."

But before he finished speaking, Gao Ming grabbed his hand and stuffed the broken silver into his hand.

"I said I'll do it, that's it. If you're worried, just sit next to me and watch. I don't think I'll be able to solve the problem in half an hour. It won't affect your business."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the innkeeper quickly waved his hand towards Gao Ming again.

"Don't dare, my lord, just let go and do what you want!"

Seeing his trembling look, Gao Ming didn't say any more.

In fact, Gao Ming still underestimated Li Goudan. It only took him a stick of incense to settle his "customer". Looking at the middle-aged man walking out of the inn triumphantly with a cloth bag in his hand, Gao Ming suddenly showed a smile on his face. eccentric.

"Could this be the legend that people are happy on happy occasions?"

If it was changed before, Gao Ming would definitely choose to be a quiet and melon-eating crowd, but not now, if people know that he watched others being fooled, it might be detrimental to his reputation as a prince.

So at this time, Gao Ming immediately stood up.

"Brother, please stay!"

As soon as Gao Ming opened his mouth, several Marquis Wu surrounded him immediately. Seeing this scene, the man was stunned.

"You are..."

Looking at the bewildered middle-aged man, Gao Ming chose to go straight to the point.

"Brother, don't be afraid. In fact, we are here to catch a liar this time. This liar has been using fake golden pigs or golden turtles to pretend to be auspicious beasts in Chang'an City. How many..."

Before Gao Ming finished speaking, the man sat on the ground with a "plop", and he let go of the cloth bag in his hand. Then, under the watchful eyes of Gao Ming and others, he saw a golden old turtle crawling out of it. After coming out, seeing this scene, Gao Ming was immediately happy.

"Damn, this Li Goudan, I can't find a turtle and use an old turtle instead."

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately raised his chin towards the man sitting on the ground.

"How much did you pay for this old turtle?"

Hearing Gao Ming's question, the man sitting on the ground immediately reacted and bowed to Gao Ming.

"My lord, that man said that he could only make a fortune by taking this golden turtle home as an offering. The villain believed him only because of the lard. For this old turtle, the villain has spoken a lot." 100 taels of silver, please ask the adults to make decisions for the villains!"

Gao Ming originally planned to do this, so he nodded immediately.

"No problem, the liar hasn't come out yet, you should get up first, and he will return the money to you after he is caught."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the man was immediately overjoyed.

"Thank you, thank you sir!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up, then stepped aside and stared at the door of the inn with wide eyes, with a look of bitterness and hatred.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

"Damn it, return the money to the old turtle, thanks to Li Goudan who figured it out, look at me playing catch a turtle in a urn for him today!"
