20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 24: I'm having fun (please read it, don't keep books)
Hearing this, Bantou Li picked up Jiang Xiaodao's collar and cursed: "Boy, be honest! Have you learned how to bite him back? Hu is a member of the Changfeng Escort Agency, how could he hit himself?" Business?"

Jiang Xiaodao was so anxious that he jumped to his feet: "Everything I said is true! All the neighbors in Nancheng know that I am an orphan. Without the help of this big toothless man, how could I, with my small body, possibly steal the Wang's house? I just happened to pass by. He was forced to join the gang!"

Hu's eyes widened and he pointed at Lao Cui: "That's nonsense! Your accomplice is obviously him!"

"Are you kidding!" Jiang Xiaodao retorted on the spot, "Look, everyone, this old man has trouble getting on the kang, how can he steal anything!"

Everyone looked at Lao Cui and couldn't help but nodded.

"Although this old man pretended to be blind just now, at his age, he does not look like he is old enough to be a snitch."

"Could it be that the thief is actually a thief, and the thief is shouting to catch the thief?"

"No, that's not the case. Changfeng Escort Agency is also a long-established company. Is it worthy of doing this kind of thing?"

"Hey! It's not easy for escort agencies to do business now. When the train comes through, they will have no business!"

When Jiang Xiaodao saw that public opinion had reversed, he immediately stirred up trouble: "Young and old gentlemen! As the old saying goes, to catch an adulterer, you need to catch both, and to catch a thief, you need to catch stolen goods! I don't even have stolen goods, so why do you call me a thief? I really want it. If I am capable of stealing, why should I beg for food here?"

Hu Biaotou couldn't help it anymore. He grabbed Jiang Xiaodao's braid and asked, "Little bastard! Tell me! Did Jiang Chenghai teach you that?"

Seeing that the momentum was in his favor, Jiang Xiaodao immediately raised his head and said, "Whose son is Jiang Chenghai? My name is Jiang Xiaodao!"

There was an evil fire in Hu Biaotou's heart, and his face instantly turned red, and the pockmark on his face became particularly conspicuous. His big head shook like a strawberry.

"Boy! Don't be careless, I know who your backer is!"

Jiang Xiaodao was not willing to be outdone: "I'm talking to you about the theft of the royal residence. What kind of backing are you talking about? Everyone, take a look, who is trying to trick someone?"

The onlookers responded and whispered: "This guy has a point. Why is Mr. Hu just talking on the side road?"

At this moment, a faint voice came from the crowd: "Then just search yourself on the spot. If you can't find anything, search your home!"

Everyone heard the sound and looked around, only to see a man with bald eyebrows and twirling his sparse beard walking in slowly.

Hu Biaotou narrowed his eyes: "Zhang Jiuye?"

Zhang Jiuye clasped his hands in his fists and said with a smile: "Boss Hu, we have known each other for a long time. This guy is talking nonsense here, spitting shit, and tarnishing the reputation of Changfeng Escort Bureau. I really can't stand it anymore!"

Jiang Xiaodao glanced at the person who came and didn't recognize him. Although he seemed to be speaking for him, it still sounded unpleasant, so he asked, "Who the hell are you?"

"Don't care who I am. If you dare to throw dirty water on Changfeng Escort, I will be the first to refuse!" Zhang Jiuye snorted coldly, "Boy, keep your mouth clean. If your tongue is itching, find a rim of the vat. Come on, don't fart here and make people angry!"

"Just search, am I afraid of you?"

Jiang Xiaodao immediately turned his body upside down, and finally took off all his shoes. After all, he only had a few old coins, which he had just pretended to be a fool to get.

"If you don't have it with you, then let's search your home!" Er Qiang was confident that he would not admit the wrong person.

"Wait a minute!" Jiang Xiaodao raised his chin, "I haven't searched for this big gaping tooth yet!"

The onlookers followed suit and shouted, "Yes, we will search everything!"

Captain Li raised his eyebrows and shouted sternly: "The yamen is doing business, what are you arguing about? We will search it ourselves when Mr. Hu turns around!"

"Wait a minute!" Hu Biao interrupted, "Boss Li, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't leave anyone with a reason to talk. We still have to search if we need to!"

Hu Biao turned around on the spot, not to show off his strength and save face, but because he had to do so.For him, catching a thief is a trivial matter, the most important thing is to revive the reputation of Changfeng Escort Agency.

If they retreat at this time, Changfeng Escort Agency's reputation, which has finally improved just now, will immediately disappear amidst the doubts of onlookers.

Although Zhang Jiuye's sudden appearance gave him an ominous premonition, he could only fight hard at the moment.

really!

As soon as he put his hand into the lining, Hu Biaotou's face suddenly froze. The ring finger was in his arms!
He was wearing a cotton-padded jacket with heavy clothes. He didn't know when he was tricked by someone, so he just pointed at Zhang Jiuye and cursed angrily: "The surname is Zhang! It turns out to be you!"

Zhang Jiuye almost pulled off two strands of his beard when he was so excited.

"Hey? Mr. Hu, why are you coming at me? Everyone is watching. I just came from the storytelling stall in the south! On the day the Wang's house was stolen, I was drinking with the shopkeeper Qian of the antique shop!"

Hu Biaotou turned around angrily, looked around, and asked sharply: "Which bastard is he?"

Everyone was confused.

"Hu Biaotou, what exactly are you carrying in your arms?"

"Yeah, why don't you take it out and take a look?"

"Stop making fun of me, this is obvious!"

When Jiang Xiaodao saw this, he rolled his eyes and suddenly understood something in his heart. He also shouted: "What's wrong? You're so scared? What's in your arms? Why don't you dare to take it out?"

The government officials also saw the clues, but they didn't care about the truth.At present, outside the customs, the world is nominally ruled by the Qing court. In fact, the government has been almost paralyzed, and military salaries everywhere are tight. They, the errands, have long been unable to pay their salaries. They will naturally speak to whoever can provide money.

Captain Li quickly pulled Hu Biao aside and whispered: "Hu Biao, we don't care about your situation. But I advise you to let us take these two people back to the Yamen first and then discuss it. As for Zhang Jiuye, We can't move."

Hu Biao complained in his heart, but he had no choice but to nod.

Captain Li immediately grabbed Jiang Xiaodao and Lao Cui, and cursed: "You little bastard, what are you shouting about? Let's go! If you have anything to say, tell me in the Yamen!"

Jiang Xiaodao was shocked. He knew in his heart that once he entered the Yamen, he would have nothing to say, so he just resisted with all his strength.

The onlookers immediately booed loudly, and their resentment over the Qing government's inability to resist Russia in the past two years poured out.

"You bitch! You bitch!"

"If you accept money but ignore justice, you deserve to be humbled for the rest of your life!"

Seeing everyone's complaints getting more and more intense, Team Leader Li drew out his big knife with his backhand, blowing his beard and glaring: "You're so fucking stupid! Why are you making a fuss about the Yamen's work? Are you going to rebel? If you talk too much, we'll all be arrested!"

However, the public anger was hard to quell, and the onlookers continued to curse.

"You bitch, call your mother! If you have the skills to fight foreigners!"

"That's right! You've known how to bully us all day long, why are you so scared when you meet Mao Zi?"

Bantou Li spat on the ground: "Damn, you are a bunch of unruly people. They can't deal with the foreigners. How can they deal with you?"

"Foreigners?" Jiang Xiaodao suddenly opened his eyes, and immediately took advantage of the chaos to break away from the government officials' hands, rushed to the two Mao Zibing in the crowd, and shouted: "Haha!"
