Tell the lord, the princess has climbed the wall

Chapter 116 The truth is revealed (1)

"Fart! Shut your stinking mouth!" Seeing the situation, Zi Yan immediately exploded, and immediately protected Zuo Mu behind him, and stepped forward to start a war with the strong man.

Someone actually found fault and bullied their concubine. It's really being bullied by dogs!

If tigers don't show their power, they really think they are sick cats.

Having grown up so big, what she Ziyan is most afraid of is fighting. It just so happens that these two days have been aggrieved, and her hands are itchy.

But just as she was about to make a move, Zuo Mu silently stopped her from behind.

"Hey, hey, let me tell you, what's the matter with you guys? Didn't the shopkeeper have already confirmed it just now? The herb seller only sold it for two taels of silver, and this purse does not belong to them at all. In this case, you Hurry up and give it back to the owner, right?"

Shopkeeper Li saw that the strong man was tripped by Cheng Yaojin, who had rushed out halfway, so he hurriedly took a step forward, looked at Zuo Mu and others to help.

"Even if you only sell two taels of silver in the morning, it doesn't mean that the purse belongs to this strong man. Could it be that their brothers and sisters can't sell herbs elsewhere?" Zi Yan couldn't see the madness of shopkeeper Li, and questioned. .

"Cut, it's ridiculous. They have always only sold herbs in Baiyaotang, and they have never been to other places?" Shopkeeper Li stroked his mustache, pointed at the two brothers and sisters and mocked, "If you don't believe me, ask, have they been there?" somewhere else?"

"I...we..." The brother and sister looked at each other, and it seemed that they were really hit by the shopkeeper Li's words.

"Even if it's only sold at your place, but for the New Year's Eve, can't the brothers and sisters dress up and buy money for the New Year's goods?" Seeing that the brothers and sisters couldn't say anything, Zi Yan interjected again.

"Also buy the money for the new year's goods, you ask them if all their belongings are added together, is this purse worth it? Oh, I see, maybe you are really a gang, ready to rob it in front of so many people? You guys Is it true that the people in Longquan Town are all fools and would stand by and watch?"

Shopkeeper Li waved his fat hand directly, calling,
"Let me tell you, we Longquan Town people are very righteous. As long as someone dares to commit murder in front of us, we will definitely not let him go. We will immediately arrest him and go to the government."

"That's right, it's hard to say anything about the people in Longquan Town, but they are all chivalrous, and we don't see anyone bullying the weak..."

"I think everyone should stop wasting your tongue here, you should tie them up and send them to the government..."

As soon as Shopkeeper Li opened his mouth, the people around him immediately responded in unison.

"Wait a minute, everyone. I, Zuo, believe in everyone's heroism. Of course, I also believe that the eyes of the masses are always discerning. But please listen to what I, Zuo, say." Zuo Mu pulled Zi Yan behind him, With a loud voice to appease the crowd,

"Everyone may have misunderstood us. First of all, I would like to declare that we are not on either side of them.
Secondly, the purpose of my doing this is not for myself, but because I don't want everyone to be deceived by bad people, and I don't want everyone's good intentions to be taken advantage of.

Of course, I think you all don't want to be used as pawns, so I ask you to allow me to ask a few words. When the matter comes to an end, you can find out the real culprit and send the man with dirty hands and feet to the government. Not too late. "

"Everyone, don't listen to him messing around here. They are all in the same group. Hurry up and send them to the government." The strong man naturally saw that Zuo Mu and the others were not easy to fool. Encourage people to speak.

"That's right, you look weird, but a young master looks so handsome in vain and quietly." Upon hearing this, shopkeeper Li was the first to stand up to support the strong man and said, "Besides, you Can you ask any questions you want? Who knows if you are with them and are deceiving us all?"

"Yes, why should we trust you, in case you are the one who wants to use us..."

"That's right. Could it be that you are the one with ulterior motives?"

Seeing that what shopkeeper Li and others said was well-founded, someone in the crowd immediately echoed.

"It's okay if you guys don't believe me. In this way, we can always find a witness?" Zuo Mu was not angry when everyone questioned him like this, but pointed to an old man at the stairs on the second floor and said, "Well, just How about asking this old man to testify for everyone?"

The two looked around, and saw an old man with white beard and immortal demeanor standing at the stairs on the second floor. He had been quietly observing for a while.

What's more strange is that upon seeing this old man, the crowd immediately became quieter. Even the shopkeeper Li silently shut up and took a few steps back.

"This elder, you are old, and you are highly respected at first glance. The purse is covered under the bowl. You hold it first. After I finish asking the questions, I will trouble you to reveal the answer to the big guys later and decide who should belong to the purse. How?" Zuo Mu looked at the old man and asked respectfully.

"Hmm!" The old man glanced at Zuo Mu, responded with a moderate reply, and stepped down the stairs.

"Okay, okay, that's a good idea!"

"Elder Zhu is watching the purse, so everyone can rest assured!"

"Yes, yes, the eyes of the masses are discerning. See how they will play tricks in front of everyone..."

As soon as the old man appeared, he quickly reversed the one-sided situation just now, and everyone began to stand behind this old man in unison.

"Ask, just ask, you ask! Who is afraid of whom!" The strong man said unconvinced at first sight.

"Then first of all, I would like to ask you two, how much silver is in this purse?"

"Of course 25 taels!" The strong man blurted out.

He thought he could ask some tricky questions. It turned out to be that simple. The man had repeated it many times just now. He sold a total of 25 taels of medicinal herbs this morning, and he heard it clearly.

"A total of twenty..." The young man looked at the strong man, and was about to open his mouth to answer, but was stopped by Zuo Mu raising his hand.

"Since you all said that this purse is yours, then let me ask you, you are a big man, why do you use a purse for a woman with flowers embroidered on it?" Zuo Mu asked persistently.

"I embroidered it for my brother." The little girl answered without thinking.

"This... well," the brawny man hesitated for a moment, and immediately asked back, "Of course mine was given to me by my beloved woman, so do I need to report this to you?"

"Really? Since they are all gifts from loved ones, then you must be very precious. Don't you have to watch them many times every day?" Zuo Mu smiled lightly and continued to question.

"That's natural," the brawny man said affirmatively. He rolled his eyes, fearing that something might go wrong, and immediately yelled at Zuo Mu impatiently, "Why do you care so much as an outsider? Now that the question has been asked, quickly send me Give me back my purse."
