Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 79

Song Wugen, the senior chief of Mudu Town, quickly rushed over with several young and strong villagers.

Song Wugen was about forty years old, with a square face and bearded face, a very strong and burly physique, and a mighty appearance, giving people a great coercion.

He wears a red-edged soap coat all the year round, with a knife on his waist. He has been a elder in Mudu Town for 20 years, responsible for arresting thieves in the town and maintaining law and order.

Although Song Wugen looks mighty, he is an old fritter. He knows who to arrest and who not to arrest, what to care about and what not to care about, what should be urgent and what should be delayed. Like a bright mirror, everything is clear.

When Fan Tiezhou found him, Song Wugen was still eating. Hearing that the little prodigy's home had been burglarized, he left his job and ran here.

As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted: "Where is the thief you caught? Let me see."

Fan Tieniu brought over the tightly bound little rogue, Song Wugen recognized him at a glance, and immediately said angrily: "It's you again, Zhou Xiaomao, you are so tired of working, even dare to steal from the child prodigy's house!"

The thief's mouth was blocked by a rag, 'Woo!Woo! ’ screamed, Fan Tiezhou took out the rag from his mouth.

The thief immediately cried and said, "Chief Qi, the storekeeper Li of the Qishi Pavilion ordered us to steal it!"

"Needless to say, the other accomplice must be your brother Zhou Damao, right?"

The little thief lay on the ground and just cried, shaking with fright.

"Pooh!"

Song Wugen spat heavily, and then said to Fan Tiezhou: "Doctor Fan, this man is Zhou Xiaomao, and he has an older brother named Zhou Damao. The two brothers have been scoundrels in the town since they were young, and they have done a lot of stealing. Don't worry, I'm too familiar with them, I will catch Zhou Damao before dawn, and I will definitely recover the stolen things."

Fan Ning stepped forward and said: "They are just thieves who started the attack. The chief culprit should be Li Quan, the shopkeeper of the Qishi Pavilion! The senior should also arrest him!"

Song Wugen had a look of embarrassment on his face. The proprietor of the Qishi Pavilion is the Xu family, and he can't afford to offend him.

Next to him, Fan Tiege has worked in the shopping malls for more than ten years.

He saw the embarrassment of the elder, and immediately said: "Catch the other thief first, chase the thing back, and then we will decide what to do next?"

Song Wugen breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said: "I'm going to arrest Zhou Damao now, and Zhou Xiaomao will be handed over to you for the time being, tie him up and don't lynch him."

Fan Tiezhou sent Song Wugen away and hurried back. At this moment, Fan Ning said to his father, "Daddy, I'll go to the Kistler Museum to find Li Quan."

Fan Tiezhou frowned, "Don't make trouble for the time being, we'll talk about it when the elder comes back."

"Things are not as simple as stealing a stone, I have to find him."

Fan Ning's attitude is very firm, he must go to Li Quan.

Fan Tiege said from the side: "Brother, let me go with Ah Ning!"

Seeing his son's resolute attitude, Fan Tiezhou knew he couldn't stop him, so he nodded, "Then let the second uncle accompany you, and you have to be careful!"

Fan Tiezhou and his third brother Fan Tieniu were in charge of guarding Zhou Xiaomao at home, while Fan Tiege accompanied Fan Ning to rush to the Kistler Museum.

. . . . . .
The Kistler's House is not far from Fan Ning's house, less than two hundred steps away. Fan Ning and his second uncle rushed to the Kistler's House, but they saw the shopkeeper Li Quan locking the door and leaving.

When Li Quan saw Fan Ning, his expression changed drastically, and he ran away, but was caught by Fan Tiege.

"Let me go!" Li Quan tried his best to protect the backpack behind him, shouting at the top of his lungs, the fear in his heart made his face a little deformed.

"Second uncle, let go of him first, and I'll have a word with him."

"Humph!"

Fan Tiege snorted heavily, and loosened Li Quan's lapel.

Fan Ning calmly said to Li Quan: "You don't have to be nervous, I'm not here to catch you!"

These words calmed Li Quan's heart a little, and he immediately shouted boldly, "Why am I nervous, I haven't broken any law, what am I afraid of?"

Fan Tiege was furious and wanted to beat him with his fist, but Fan Ning stopped him. Fan Ning sneered and said, "Go back and tell Xu Ji that he wants to hit me with a sap."

Li Quan's face changed drastically, and he immediately said nervously: "I don't understand what you mean, what does it have to do with Xu Xiaoguan?"

Fan Ning figured it out a little bit, he won the county selection contest yesterday, and Li Quan sent someone to steal his things today, it is very likely that Xu Ji sent Li Quan to teach him a lesson with hatred in his heart.

If there is only a [-]% chance of this guess, Li Quan's face now proves that his guess is correct, and Fan Ning is [-]% sure that Xu Ji is behind the instigation.

"Just tell him a word, since he wants to play, I'll play a big game with him!"

Fan Ning smiled faintly, "That's all I've said, it's up to you to say it or not, and it's up to you to believe it or not, Second Uncle, let's go!"

Fan Tiege was at a loss, found Li Quan, but let him go so easily, what is this nephew's idea?
"Ning'er, I see that he has a rucksack behind him, which is relatively heavy. Your stone is probably in his rucksack."

Fan Ning said with a smile: "I have touched it just now. It should be that stone. To be honest, I still wish he would take it away. If I don't put a long line, how can I catch a big fish?"

Fan Tiege stared blankly at Fan Ning, feeling very emotional in his heart, he deserves to be a county magistrate!His thoughts and words and deeds, I have no idea at all.

"Second Uncle, did the Wu family buy your goods later?" Fan Ning changed the subject and stopped talking about the stone.

When mentioning the Wu family, Fan Tiege's expression became very depressed, and he sighed for a long time: "Don't mention it, this matter is really annoying, but the Wu family came as promised and bought all kinds of pots and bowls worth about [-] yuan Pots and other items.

But for the price, he actually asked to settle according to the price of the old Chai grocery store opposite. I will lose at least [-] cents in this transaction. "

"Did the second uncle sell it?"

Fan Tiege looked bitter, "Of course I sold it, what if I don't sell it? I need money to buy the goods, and I have to pay the rent next month, as well as the tuition fees of your two cousins. They all need money!"

"Does Second Uncle think he can get through this?"

Fan Tiege shook his head, "Let me tell you, auntie, I will be able to survive this time, but I know in my heart that I can only last for a month or two at most, unless Laochai's grocery store collapses, but this is impossible, it can only be I close the door."

Fan Ning pondered for a long time, then said slowly, "Has Second Uncle considered changing his career?"

Fan Tiege shook his head with a wry smile, "It's not easy, your father has studied medicine for two years, he can change his career, and I have been running a grocery store since I was 17 years old, and I have been doing it for 13 years. Apart from doing business, I don't know anything else."

Fanning laughed, "I mean, it's still a business, but not a grocery store."

"If I don't open a grocery store, what can I do?"

Fan Ning smiled slightly, "Taihu stone business!"

Fan Tiege was stunned. At this moment, he suddenly remembered something, and quickly asked: "Ning'er, just now you said that your stolen stone is worth several hundred taels of silver. Is it true?"

Fan Ning smiled and nodded, "I bought that stone from Qishi Lane with three taels of silver. Its market price is at most ten guan, but if it is sold to collectors, it is worth 500 taels of silver, and it will be snatched." If you want to buy it, Li Quan is also a person who knows the goods, so he will do everything possible to steal this stone."

Fan Tiege sighed softly, "I sound unbelievable, almost like a dream."

"This is not a dream, but a real profiteering industry. I want to do it but I don't have the time. Why don't we cooperate with my uncle and nephew to open a Fanji Qishi Museum in Wu County? I think there will be a future."

Fan Tiege was also quite tempted. The fate of his grocery store was fixed, and sooner or later it would be overwhelmed by Lao Chai's grocery store. He originally planned to change his career to open a snack shop, but his own cooking skills were not good, so he had to hire a chef, so he couldn't make any money at all. money.

Now he is in a state of confusion and despair, Fan Ning suddenly proposes to open the strange stone museum, which makes him seem to see a glimmer of hope.

It's just that Fanning is still a child after all, so he needs time to think about it.

"Ning'er, let me think about this matter!"

"Second Uncle just think about it with peace of mind, there is no rush!"

When the uncle and nephew returned home, Zhang Sanniang cooked several bowls of egg noodles and invited them to sit down and eat.

"Daddy, where's the little thief?" Fanning asked.

"Chief Song Qi escorted him away. The other thief has not been caught yet, and Chief Song Qi is still chasing him. Don't worry too much." Fan Tiezhou comforted his son.

"I'm in no hurry!"

Fanning smiled, "I'll go upstairs to tidy up."

"Ning'er, don't you eat noodles?" Zhang Sanniang came out with a bowl of noodles and asked.

"Mom, I'm not hungry!"

Fan Ning went upstairs quickly, and Fan Tiezhou asked his second brother: "I heard from the third brother that your store seems to be in trouble, do you want me to lend you some money?"

Fan Tiege waved his hand, "Brother, it's not about money, it's about meeting a strong competitor, that is, the famous Chai's business in Pingjiang Prefecture. This business opened a grocery store opposite me. I can't compete with it. I guess the most After one or two months, it will have to close."

"Then what are you going to do?" Fan Tiezhou asked worriedly.

"I haven't made up my mind yet, but just now Ning'er suggested that I start the stone business. Do you think it's feasible?"

Fan Tiezhou shook his head, "That stupid boy, he talks stupid things, what kind of business will he do?"

"Tie Zhou, you underestimate Ning'er!"

Zhang Sanniang came out with another bowl of noodles, just in time to hear her husband commenting on her son. She was very dissatisfied and said, "Why can't my son do business? Then where do you think this house came from? My son can't do business, and you are still a boatman." What! Can you be a doctor?"

Fan Tiezhou was stunned for a while, and he thought about it, 'That's right!I really underestimated my son. '

"Sister-in-law, did Ning'er earn this house?" Fan Tiege asked in surprise.

"Of course!"

Zhang Sanniang's face was full of pride, "My family, Ning'er, bought a stone with one tael of silver, and sold it for 200 taels of silver as soon as it changed hands."

Fan Tiege's eyes suddenly widened, and now he began to believe that what his nephew told him was not a joke.
