Fairy Desire

"What? Cheating?"

"Impossible? The punishment for cheating is heavy?"

"I said how did Lou Deshui get No.1? It turned out to be cheating! It's shameful."

"It must be cheating. Lou De performed so poorly at the level, how could he get No.1?"

…………

Shopkeeper Liu's words were like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the crowd of onlookers immediately burst into loud noises.And although those powerful people in Maple Town sitting on the stage did not speak, their expressions also changed subtly.

The mayor raised his hands, pressed down, and said in a raised voice: "Everyone, please be quiet. Until you understand the situation, please keep quiet."

Seeing that the crowd of onlookers under the stage became quiet, the mayor threw the wood at shopkeeper Liu, and asked in a deep voice: "Treasurer Liu, do you have evidence that Lou Deshui cheated? Everyone knows that cheating is a felony, and cheaters are naturally You will be severely punished, and those who make false accusations will also be severely punished. You have to be careful."

Shopkeeper Liu glanced at Meng Xiang who was standing not far away from the corner of his eyes, and found that his expression was as calm as ever, he gritted his teeth secretly, and said calmly: "My lord mayor, if there is no conclusive evidence, I will never The one who framed Lou Deshui."

"Oh, since Shopkeeper Liu said that you have solid evidence, you can show the evidence. Everyone can listen to it, and naturally you can also distinguish the authenticity from the fake."

Shopkeeper Liu beckoned behind him, and shouted loudly: "Longfu Changshou, you two come here and tell the mayor and the villagers present what happened. Remember that you must tell the truth, absolutely no one is allowed Half a lie."

Brother Changfu and Changshou stood up, glanced at Meng Xiang quietly, and began to tell the story of the incident. Although they were not particularly fluent at the beginning because of nervousness, everyone could understand what they were talking about.

When they heard that Lou Deshui not only snatched other people's prey, but also beat them with his hands, the onlookers were very angry, especially when Changfu Changshou untied his clothes in spite of the cold, revealing the bruises that had not faded. Some people have already scolded Lou Deshui.

Brother Changfu Changshou had just finished speaking when a middle-aged fat man jumped up from his chair, panting heavily through his nose, and shouted loudly: "Lie! You two are lying! What is the bald eagle? Things, everyone should be very clear that it is very difficult to shoot one, but also shoot three at a time, who would believe it? If Meng Xiang is really so good, how did he get No.2?" After finishing speaking , snorted, and slumped back onto the chair, making the chair creak.

At this time, the crowd below also made a lot of noise, which also revealed the voice of supporting Lou Deshui.

The mayor signaled for everyone to be quiet again, then turned around and asked, "Shopkeeper Liu, do you have anything to say about Captain Lou's question?"

Shopkeeper Liu curled his lips, showing a look of disdain: "I, Liu Futong, disagreed with Captain Lou 120 times. Bald eagles are more difficult to shoot, but that doesn't mean they can't be shot. If this is the reason It’s not too ridiculous to say that our people on the Lianfeng are lying, right?”

The mayor stroked the beard on his chin, turned around, and asked a very handsome white-haired old man behind him: "Boss Yang, what do you think of Shopkeeper Liu's words? You also believe that Meng Xiang can shoot three bald-headed gold at one time." carved?"

The white-haired old man stood up, bowed to the mayor, and said calmly: "Report to the mayor, I trust my subordinates, and I believe they will not lie."

Captain Lou jumped up again, and sneered at Boss Yang: "Yang Juyuan, I think you want to get No. 1 crazy, right? My son got No. 1, and you framed him as cheating. Your means are too big." Is it despicable?"

"Captain Lou Wuliang, why are you so angry? What's true can't be fake, what's fake can't be true. The town mayor and all the villagers are sharp-eyed. Will everyone still wrong your son?" Yang Juyuan Still seemed tepid.

"Anyway, my son didn't cheat, what am I afraid of?" Lou Wuliang gave shopkeeper Liu a hard look, and sat back heavily on the chair.

The mayor narrowed his eyes, glanced at everyone on and off the stage, pondered for a moment, and said, "Since both sides insist on their own opinions, then we will call both parties to the stage and let them explain the whole story. Explain the reason clearly in front of everyone."

Then, the mayor began to call Meng Xiang and Lou Deshui to come on stage, and both Meng Xiang and Lou Deshui stepped onto the stage in response.When everyone saw Meng Xiang's appearance clearly, there was another commotion among the crowd. Some thought that he was too young to shoot a bald eagle, while others thought that he was a hero born out of youth.

And on stage, when Meng Xiang and Lou Deshui were face to face, Meng Xiang could still keep calm, but Lou Deshui couldn't, especially when he recognized him, he was even colder towards him.

The mayor looked at the two young men standing in front of him and smiled slightly: "Both of you are young heroes of our Maple Town, I hope you two can resolve this misunderstanding."

Meng Xiang didn't respond to the mayor's smile, and clasped his fists together: "Master mayor, I feel that it is necessary to bring those three bald eagles to the stage now. In this way, when I confront Lou Deshui, I can also be with you." There is evidence in them. You know, prey can sometimes talk too."

After hearing Meng Xiang's words, the mayor's eyes flashed a light: such a smart boy!He knew that Lou Wuliang and Lou Deshui's father and son were powerful in Fengshu Town, and they could easily get in touch with the bald eagle. He could destroy the evidence when he gave evidence, or forge evidence in favor of Lou Deshui.Now he took them to the high platform to prove the need, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, they would never have the chance to do anything again.

Looking at Meng Xiang's calm eyes and calm attitude, the mayor had a murmur in his heart: Did this Meng Xiang really shoot and kill those three bald eagles?

However, facing Meng Xiang's reasonable request, he couldn't refuse, so he beckoned two people and asked them to bring the three bald eagles to the stage.During this process, he quietly observed the expressions of Lou Wuliang and Lou Deshui, and found that they seemed restless, which aggravated his doubts.

Soon, three large birds with a wingspan of more than ten feet, white heads and black bodies, with a faint golden glow were lifted onto the stage, but they were covered with a white cloth as soon as they were put down.

The mayor smiled: "I covered the body of the golden eagle to be more fair. I don't think you two will blame me for being troublesome. Now you can make a statement. First of all, I want to ask, what are the three golden eagles? Where are the fatalities? You don’t need to say it directly, just write it on paper.”

With that said, someone handed Meng Xiang and Lou Deshui each a piece of paper and a pen dipped in ink.Without any hesitation, the two of them grabbed their pens and finished it with one stroke.

The mayor looked at the words on the two chapters of paper, there were not many words, and the words on one piece of paper were painted with silver hooks: one left eye, two right eyes, all with penetrating wounds.It belongs to Meng Xiang.

The writing on the other piece of paper was much worse, crooked: all three were shot in the eyes.It's Lou Deshui's.

The mayor unfolded the two-foot white paper and said loudly: "Meng Xiang and Lou Deshui's answers are basically the same, and the fatal wound of the bald eagle is the eyes." Word on two blank sheets of paper.Immediately afterwards, the person in charge of the inspection announced the result in public, and it was indeed the eyes.

The mayor handed the paper in his hand to a servant, looked at Meng Xiang and smiled and said, "Since the answers of the two children are the same, can you provide other evidence?"

Before Meng Xiang and Lou Deshui could speak, shopkeeper Liu protested: "My lord, it's not fair. Lou Deshui is holding the bald eagles, so he naturally knows where their fatal injuries are. Meng Xiang can answer your questions. The question of the bald eagle can just prove that he shot the bald eagle. If he didn't shoot the bald eagle, and he has never seen the bald eagle, how could he know that the fatal wound of the bald eagle is the eyes?"

After listening to shopkeeper Liu's words, the onlookers in the audience began to speak out in support of Meng Xiang.The mayor turned his head and looked at Lou Deshui: "Lou Deshui, do you have anything to say about shopkeeper Liu's questioning?"

"This... this..." Sweat also appeared on Lou Deshui's forehead, but he quickly regained his composure, "Shopkeeper Liu, he is talking nonsense. Just now Changfu Changshou and the others themselves said that they are robbing me They had seen the bald eagle before. They must have told him about the fatal injury of the bald eagle. Therefore, shopkeeper Liu’s reasoning cannot be established.”

The mayor pondered for a while: "What Lou Deshui said also has some truth. Then let's put this point aside. You two continue to prove."

Lou Deshui looked at Meng Xiang, with a trace of provocation in his eyes, but Meng Xiang was unmoved at all: "Mayor, I have another piece of evidence. Before I shoot the prey, I will smear lacquer on the shaft of the arrow, please." The mayor will naturally understand after checking the wounds of some bald eagles."

The lacquer sap is the pigment used by the hunters to mark their prey. Meng Xiang painted the lacquer sap on the arrow shaft just in case, but now it has become the key to victory.

This is also an important reason why he didn't get back the three bald eagles in time after he knew they were snatched by Lou Deshui. He wanted to stay in front of everyone to expose his face and give him a fatal blow.

After telling this key piece of evidence, Meng Xiang began to observe the reactions of Lou Wuliang and Lou Deshui's father and son, but to his surprise, the reactions of the two were completely different.

Lou Wuliang seemed to have been stabbed by someone, the blood on his face faded away, he was as pale as paper, and his whole body was like a deflated ball, slumped on the chair, while Lou Deshui did not respond at all, on the contrary, his eyes still There was a hint of a sneer.

The mayor's face became serious, and he found a few of the most experienced old hunters and asked them to check together, but Meng Xiang was surprised: no sumac juice was found on the wounds of the three bald eagles. Mark of.

Hearing this conclusion at the beginning, Meng Xiang couldn't believe his ears: he clearly remembered to apply lacquer juice on the shaft of the arrow before shooting the bald eagle, why didn't he?Could it be the hell?
