Chapter 46 The Shameless Old Beggar

Outside the Spring Breeze Garden.

on the street!
Shen Lin sighed with relief.

Thank goodness for running fast!
Otherwise, I was almost cheated by the bad woman again!

Some bad women broke their promises and cheated his feelings without saying goodbye.And the bad woman in Chunfengyuan went too far, trying to lie to him.

Fortunately, Shen Lin usually reads a lot in spring and autumn, so he can withstand the temptation.

Just as he was about to go back to the Yamen, a voice suddenly came from his ear.

"young people!"

Shen Lin stopped, turned around and saw a familiar figure under the eaves.

It was the old beggar from Chunfengyuan.

A tattered, unkempt, undisputed look of a beggar.

At this moment, he was sitting leaning against the eaves, with a pair of drunken eyes revealed under the messy hair, and hiccupped.

Beside him, there was a wine gourd poured out.

"You called me?"

Shen Lin glanced at the old beggar, then walked to the eaves.

The old beggar grabbed the wine gourd beside him, shook it slightly, and aimed it at his mouth.

However, the wine gourd was empty!
The old beggar couldn't finish it, and there was a little regret in his eyes, so he raised his head and looked at Shen Lin: "Yes, do you have any wine?"

"want to drink?"

Shen Lin squatted in front of him, looking up and down at the old beggar in front of him: "Answer me a question, and I'll buy you wine, how about it?"

Hearing that there was wine to drink, the old beggar was a little interested: "What, what's the problem?"

"Where are you from? What are you doing in Qingshui County?"

Shen Lin narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.

The old beggar's slightly cloudy eyes slowly lifted up, as if he was thinking about recalling something: "I, I come from a place far, far away..."

"As for what to do here..."

The old beggar took a look at Shen Lin and shook his head: "What can I, a bad old man, drink and play with women, that's enough..."

Shen Lin stared at the old beggar, but didn't see anything unusual on his face.

The old beggar's background and strange behavior made Shen Lin a little suspicious, so he tried it out.

But there was nothing wrong with the old beggar's answer, Shen Lin shook his head, but at that time he thought too much, put away a trace of doubt in his heart, got up and planned to leave.

"and many more……"

The old beggar stopped Shen Lin again: "You, promise me, where is my wine?"

Shen Lin glanced at him: "When did I agree?"

The old beggar was startled, and then anger appeared on his face: "Young man, you, you even lied to me as a beggar, are you worthy of the official uniform you are wearing?"

Shen Lin ignored the old man.

Lai is eating and drinking in Chunfengyuan every day. It would be good if he hadn't been arrested and sent back to jail. Still want to lie to drink?

Shen Lin, who was in a good mood, was about to leave when the old beggar's indignant voice suddenly came from behind: "Young people nowadays are getting more and more rude..."

"That young man two nights ago was also very unreasonable, bah..."

The old beggar muttered to himself angrily.

However, Shen Lin, who had just started to leave, stopped suddenly.

He turned around and stared at the old beggar under the eaves: "What did you just say?"

The old beggar glanced at Shen Lin, hiccupped again, with a drunken and dazed look on his face: "I, did I say something?"

Shen Lin narrowed his eyes and said expressionlessly: "You just mentioned the young man from the night before yesterday. Who have you met? Where have you seen him?"

He suddenly realized something. It is said that the old beggar in front of him often wanders around Chunfengyuan.

Does he know something?
The old beggar was drunk, first stared at Shen Lin twice, then stretched out two fingers tremblingly.

"20 taels!"

"What?" Shen Lin was startled.

"Give me 20 taels, and I'll tell you, how about it?"

The old beggar squinted his eyes, and those cheap eyes were extraordinarily bright.

Boy, blackmail?

And blackmailed him? !

Shen Lin sneered in his heart, narrowed his eyes, with a somewhat dangerous look in his eyes: "Do you know that you are blackmailing public officials?"

The old beggar didn't seem to realize that there was something wrong with his behavior, and shook his head: "Young man, you have misunderstood this. How could I blackmail the yamen officials... If you think it's too expensive, then pretend I didn't say it Bar……"

"call out!"

Shen Lin directly drew out his waist knife, and put the gleaming knife horizontally in front of the old beggar, expressionlessly said: "You are now suspected of obstructing official duties, either you must tell the truth now, or I will arrest you and go to the Yamen, so that you can experience the feeling of being in prison! "

There was a trace of panic on the old beggar's face, but he calmed down quickly, and glanced at Shen Lin: "Then you arrest me, I want to see too, where did I hinder the official duties... I will go to the county magistrate to seek justice !"

"..."

Seeing that the old beggar hobs meat, oil and salt can't get in.Shen Lin had a sullen face, thinking about countermeasures.

What he said can only scare the old beggar, it is impossible to really catch him back.

On the one hand, it is troublesome, and on the other hand, the old beggar has the attitude of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, so I am afraid it will be difficult to get him to speak, unless torture is used to extract a confession.

"Do you know something?"

Shen Lin stared into his eyes, trying to see something from the old beggar's face.

Was the young man he mentioned just now intentional or unintentional... Does this old beggar know something?
But the old beggar remained calm, narrowed his eyes and stretched out two fingers: "20 taels, I'll tell you!"

"..."

"Twelve!"

"15 taels!"

"Only ten taels, do you want love!"

Shen Lin said expressionlessly: "Don't let me go!"

"Yes, yes!"

Seeing that Shen Lin was about to leave, the old beggar quickly stopped him: "Twelve taels is ten taels, deal!"

Shen Lin reached into his bosom, took out ten taels of silver and threw it to the old beggar.

The old beggar took the broken silver and put it away contentedly, then raised his head and glanced at Shen Lin, shook his head and said: "It should be two nights, when I was resting under the wall of the outer courtyard of Chunfengyuan, I saw a young man from three Lou jumped out of the window... That young man was very rude, he stepped on my foot and didn't apologize, he was cursing, he didn't have any quality..."

The young man mentioned by the old beggar, Shen Lin subconsciously thought of Xu Ping'an.

But soon he realized that Xu Ping'an's personality was gentle, and he didn't look like a rude person.

Is it possible...

"What does that young man look like?"

Shen Lin stared at the old beggar and asked.

The old beggar thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Well, I don't know...I was sleeping soundly at the time, so I don't know, I just remember that I was a young man, quite thin..."

Shen Lin's eyes froze suddenly!
Young man, very thin!

This is not in line with Xu Ping'an.

Xu Ping'an is tall and burly, definitely not thin!
If what the old beggar said is correct, there were indeed other people in Miss Xiao Li's room that night? !
Miss Rulin's death is probably inseparable from the young man who ran away in a hurry that the old beggar said!

"anything else?"

Shen Lin stared at the old beggar: "Where did that young man go?"

"Gone!"

"Gone?"

Shen Lin stared at the old beggar, only to realize that he had already started carrying silver taels, and got up to find a drink!

Well, ten taels of silver is enough for him to drink wine for half a month, or go to Chunfengyuan to find a little girl to accompany him...

But when he just got up, he saw a gleaming waist knife standing in front of him.

The old beggar was startled: "You, what are you doing?"

"Give me back the money!"

Shen Lin said expressionlessly.

The old beggar's eyes widened: "This, this is already my silver!"

"I now suspect that you are obstructing official duties by failing to report the knowledge!"

Shen Lin sneered, and put the waist knife directly on the old beggar's neck: "Either return the silver to me, or I will arrest you and go to the Yamen, convict you of collaborating with the enemy, and cut off your head!"

"..."
