Chapter 230 Are You Stealing Money?
"What is going on?" Uncle Wang sighed.
Xu Yuan had some impression of the two men who beat him up, and he bought the peanuts from them.
I didn't expect to meet you again in such an occasion.
It was not until Pan Gui was frightened and sobered up from the beating that he began to beg for mercy.
The situation was finally under control.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" The person who had just run out to report to the police came back, followed by a group of officials. Seeing a group of people gathered together, they hurried forward.
"What happened here?" The leading officer asked everyone with a serious face.
"My Lord, I..."
Before Pan Gui could finish his words, Lin Dashan immediately complained, "Sir, this person maliciously deducted our wages, and we were so angry that we had an argument. Should the government intervene in such a small matter?"
Lin Dashan's family was under the jurisdiction of Chunyang City. He knew very well that the city lord would not have the time to deal with such a small matter as owing money, so there was no point in reporting it to the police.
As expected, as soon as these words came out, the leading officer showed a disdainful look, of course, to Pan Gui. "It is indeed a trivial matter. We are not in a position to intervene in such disputes. I hope you will not cause any deaths. Let's go."
The officials came and went quickly. The passerby who went to report to the officials felt that he had made a wasted trip. He was so angry that he walked over and kicked Pan Gui who was sitting on the ground, "You deserve it. You wasted my kindness."
"hiss."
"Fuck you."
Pan Gui cursed softly and fiercely.
"Go away, go away, go away." The onlookers dispersed one after another, leaving behind the shopkeeper Li and several of his employees, all smiling. Shopkeeper Li brought a bill and said, "Sir, these are all the items that were broken into our shop. Who will pay for them?"
"He...it's him, go find him!" Pan Gui got up from the ground, touched the wound on his face, and pointed at Lin Dashan in front of him.
"Tsk, you don't need to tell me. I am responsible for my own actions, unlike you who do mean things. Remember to return every penny of your brothers' wages later, otherwise..." Lin Dashan fumbled with his fist and made a gesture as if he was going to hit someone.
When Pan Gui saw this, the wound on his face began to ache again, "Okay, okay, I'll... I'll... I'll give it back to you, okay?"
"Hmph!" Lin Dashan took the bill handed over by Manager Li, his pupils dilated, "Manager, are you robbing money?" He pointed to the broken things that were smashed into a mess, the table top that he smashed with one punch, and the bench with a broken leg thrown aside. These things cost one or two taels, so screw them.
Why do you always think you are a soft persimmon that can be bullied at will?
"What? Let me see." Lin Ershun took it and glared at Manager Li, "Do you think we are easy to bully and want to be like him?" Lin Ershun pointed at Pan Gui who was standing aside.
"No, no. We are doing fair business. It doesn't mean you are right just because you are fierce." Shopkeeper Li explained hurriedly, fearing that he would arouse the anger of the two again.
"You broke not only the tables and chairs, but also teacups and teapots. These teacups and teapots are at least valuable. And the candlesticks on the table stand on the other side of your table were also knocked over by you." Shopkeeper Li began to explain everything clearly, for fear that people would think he was blackmailing them and that they were all things that fell from the surrounding area.
Lin Dashan and the group of brothers standing around him looked at each other in bewilderment.
Several waiters standing nearby began to move the table on the ground, and the broken pieces of teapot and teacups were revealed.
Seeing this, Lin Ershun whispered to his elder brother, "Brother, do you have enough money? I can definitely get some with you."
Lin Dashan glanced at his second brother and said, "You still underestimate me, your elder brother. It's just one or two taels. How can there be nothing?"
What's the matter? If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have been so impulsive. I only had two taels of silver on me, and I gave away half of it. It's such a huge loss.
He glared at Pan Gui who was cowering beside him, and his hands still felt itchy.
"What are you looking at? Are you still not convinced? Then just beat me to death and see who will return your wages." Pan Gui glared back without hesitation and said indifferently with his arms folded.
He really deserved a beating. He felt much better after a beating. Fortunately, his group of capable men didn't come at this time.
"Boss, take it. We are even now." Lin Dashan took out a purse from his bosom, took out a tael of silver and threw it to the shopkeeper.
“What about this meal…” Shopkeeper Li asked again cautiously after receiving the money.
Lin Dashan pointed at Pan Gui who was standing on the side and said, "Go find him!"
"Tsk, you're still a poor fellow after all. Come on, I'm generous, just treat it as a farewell dinner."
"Then I have to thank you." Lin Ershun said sarcastically.
······
"It's incredible, it's really incredible, I didn't expect to see such a wonderful farce."
Chen Biyun lay down on the bed and said to Xu Yuan beside her.
Xu Yuan smiled and said, "Sometimes it's faster to take action to deal with unreasonable people."
"Indeed, that's a good summary. But the government officials don't even care about this kind of thing? Then what kind of thing would they care about? They came so quickly and left so easily. It seems like these government officials are just eating for free."
"I can't compare to the prefect Wu in Lin'an County. I heard that if you report a trivial matter to him, he will handle it satisfactorily."
Chen Biyun turned over and faced Xu Yuan.
Xuyuan closed the window beside the bed, climbed onto the bed, and wrapped himself tightly in the quilt. "Don't think too much. Every town has its own rules. We are just passers-by. Just live our own lives."
"Yeah, that's right. It's even colder here at night than during the day. I still admire the people who live here. I really miss the warm bed at home. There's nothing new and interesting in the shops here. It's much worse than Lin'an County."
"It's so cold right now, it's good enough to have a few people setting up stalls, what new things are you thinking about?"
"Oh, then tell me, can your business of making earthen kangs be extended here?" Chen Biyun suddenly had an idea.
"You'd better think about it. First, we don't have the materials, and second, it's cold. Why bother with all this?" Xu Yuan didn't expect this girl to be so talkative, and he didn't know how the topic came to this.
"Oh, I'm very curious." Chen Biyun wrapped herself in a quilt, climbed up, and looked straight at Xu Yuan.
"What are you saying? Don't look at me like that, I'm scared." The girl had big eyes and her hair was loose. There was only a dim oil lamp on in the room. It really gave people the feeling of a female ghost taking their lives.
Make a wish and look away.
"I shouldn't have seen it wrong that day." Before Chen Biyun started asking questions, she reflected deeply on herself. She also thought about it several times in her mind over the past few days, and she always felt that it was not an illusion.
"What did you see correctly?"
"Can you stop being so secretive?"
Xu Yuan said anxiously, since you have asked this question, it would be uncomfortable if he didn't say it out loud, it must be something he is very curious about.
