Tuan Chong Guai Guai: The whole family can listen to my voice

Chapter 236 Return without success
Lin Zhishen touched his nose nonchalantly and did not dare to speak.

"Crench."

Lin Baoer broke the chopsticks in his hand into two halves and almost gritted his teeth, "Have you seen clearly what that person looks like?"

【How dare you steal my money! Hold! That's seventy taels of silver! Seventy taels! 】

Lin Baoer was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.

You know, seventy taels can support an ordinary family for more than ten years. Although the Lin family has money, she can't treat money like dirt at the moment!

These thieves are really awesome! He even dared to steal her things! OK OK!
Lin Bao'er was so angry that he stared at Lin Zhishen, ready to take it out on him if he couldn't explain anything.

"The man is a head shorter than me and wears a coarse linen shirt."

"Gone?" Lin Baoer couldn't believe it.

Lin Zhishen shook his head obediently, "No more."

There is no difference between this and not saying anything!
"What does it look like?" She continued to ask without giving up.

Lin Zhishen frowned and thought back.

After a while, he shook his head again and said, "I didn't see clearly."

Lin Baoer's breath was stuck in his chest, unable to come up or go down, and he almost choked.

[Alas, prodigal son. 】

She could only complain in her heart. After all, this matter was not Lin Zhishen's fault.

"Take me to have a look." She was helpless.

Then Lin Zhishen took her to the clothing store where she bought the goods before. It was still owned by the same shopkeeper. When she saw him coming again, she thought she had another big business, so she immediately smiled and was very flattering.

"Sir, do you want to buy anything else?"

This time, before Lin Zhishen could say anything, Lin Baoer took the lead and slapped a sword on the counter in a domineering manner, with a cold look on his face, "Shopkeeper, after he went out after shopping today, was there someone shorter than him wearing coarse cloth?" Has a man in linen shirt ever come in?"

Seeing that she didn't look like a good person, the shopkeeper swallowed his saliva and nodded, "Yes, but he walked out a moment after he came in. Didn't I explain it to the young master at that time?"

"Then do you still remember what he looks like?" Lin Baoer frowned.

"This..." The shopkeeper hesitated a little.

Lin Baoer knew what was going on in his mind at a glance. He sneered and came closer, "Shopkeeper, don't say we don't care about you. My brother lost seventy taels of silver to you. If you report it to the official, you say What will be the consequences?”

Upon hearing the report and Qiliang, the shopkeeper immediately took two steps back in fear, opened his eyes wide and waved his hands, begging, "No, no, no! Girl! Don't report to the official!"

If he was involved in this financial dispute, his store wouldn't be able to open!
Besides, seventy taels is not a small amount. If the culprit cannot be found and he is asked to make up for it, he will suffer a big loss!
So he almost knelt down in front of the aunt, "This has nothing to do with me, girl! At that time, the young master only gave me ten taels of silver, and I didn't see the other coins!"

Seeing that he had been intimidated, Lin Baoer was satisfied, "Isn't that why I came to ask you what that person looked like? When my brother was in your store, the money was still there, but it disappeared when he walked out the door. "

"It's either you or the boy who hit him."

"That's definitely not me!" the shopkeeper hurriedly defended, and then racked his brains to recall, "I remember that half of his face was covered with something, and I really couldn't tell what he looked like, but his eyes were quite pretty. of."

"Oh, oh, and his right hand! I remember he pointed at a random piece of clothing. There was a long and narrow scar on the tiger's mouth of his right hand, which was very light in color."

"The rest is gone."

The shopkeeper was very aggrieved and gave Lin Baoer a cautious look, fearing that she would blame him for this. Lin Baoer didn't care about his thoughts and thought: "She must be very familiar with her skills. Shopkeeper, have you never seen him around?"

It's impossible for someone from out of town to come here specially to steal something, right?

Besides, he was able to steal the money bag without letting Lin Zhishen notice. That person must be quite skilled in his skills, and he might do this kind of thing often.

The shopkeeper who was questioned gave a bitter smile and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Girl, even if he is nearby, I don't know. I stay in the store all year round and know very little about the situation outside."

Reluctantly convinced by his explanation, Lin Baoer sighed, "Okay."

It seems that the only clue is the scar, as if there is none.

Since there was no other news, Lin Baoer was too lazy to question the shopkeeper anymore and could only leave first.

This street is considered to be the most prosperous street in the Acropolis. There are countless shops of various kinds, and there are countless vendors on both sides of the street. There is an endless stream of people coming and going. If you want to find someone here, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Seeing her frowning, Lin Zhishen's eyes softened, "How about forgetting it?"

"Why don't you report it to the official?"

The two people said in unison and looked at each other in surprise.

"Are you ready to forget it?!" Lin Baoer was in disbelief, furious, "I can give alms and even give money, but you can't steal it from me!"

Who can swallow that breath!

Lin Zhishen was helpless, "Aren't we still on our way? Let's not talk about whether we can find the thief. If we stay here for too long, I'm afraid of missing those caravans on their way."

There is an endless desert between Taiping Kingdom and Jiang Kingdom. If the caravan is not led by a caravan who is familiar with the road, it is easy to get lost in the desert.

Moreover, there are not only all kinds of dangerous things in the desert, but also a kind of desert bandit that lurks in it and often robs pedestrians crossing the desert.

Therefore, the purpose of their trip was to reach the border as soon as expected, and then find a caravan heading to Jiang Country to follow them. This would avoid some dangers to a large extent.

Speaking of this, Lin Baoer was confused again.

What Lin Zhishen said didn't make sense. It would take at least a month to travel from the Acropolis to the border at their pace, and it would already be May by then. If they delayed any longer, it would be extremely dangerous to cross the desert in hot weather. higher.

Lin Baoer was not an irrational person. She made her decision in almost a moment.

"Originally we expected to stay in the Acropolis for two days, so why not wait for one more day? If we haven't caught that person in three days, we will leave anyway."

It was just one more day, and it was still within the acceptable range, so Lin Zhishen agreed.

"it is good."

Lin Baoer breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then do you want to report it to the official?"

If you report to the official, the efficiency will be much improved.

After Lin Zhishen thought for a while, he shook his head and said, "We are foreigners after all. The government may not take care of such a small matter of theft. Reporting it to the government may be a lot of trouble."

Hearing this, Lin Baoer could only give up.

What Lin Zhishen said didn't make sense. Even a trivial matter like stealing would be troublesome to the government. Unless you have a noble status, they won't bother to care about you.
