Chapter 174 The truth: He turned out to be a repeat offender!
Xu Zhiyi's words instantly aroused everyone's anger.
"Yes, we can't let him go, let's take him to the government office."
"Pah, it turns out he's not only a pickpocket, but also a beggar!"
"Looking at this situation, he must be a habitual offender!"
The woman at the side was also very nervous. How could things have developed to this point? If this man was really arrested and taken to the government office, wouldn't it be a matter of time before she was found out?
The man looked at the saliva spitted by the crowd and almost felt sick to death. He explained anxiously: "No, don't believe her. The silver is mine. What proof does she have that the silver is hers?"
Then he picked up another purse on the ground and said, "This is mine. There are ten taels of silver in it."
Xu Zhiyi: "Oh? Then I'll give you a chance. How much silver is there in these two purses?"
Man: "Ten taels of silver, the other... the other me... five taels of silver"
"Everyone, to avoid suspicion, could someone come up and help me? I only have three taels of silver in my purse."
"Let me do it." An uncle came forward and took the purse from Xu Zhiyi's hand, then poured out the silver in the purse in front of everyone. The results matched Xu Zhiyi's, and the other one said there were ten taels of silver, but in the end there were only twenty copper coins.
The man looked at the purse that should have contained ten taels of silver, but only twenty copper coins came out of it. He got furious and rushed over to grab the purse. He searched everywhere and found that his ten taels of silver were gone!
"It's you. You must have stolen my purse."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi sneered, "I don't have the ability to swap the purse in front of so many eyes. Besides, you just said that the silver is yours, so how can I know what your purse looks like in advance, and how can I find an identical purse to swap with so quickly?"
"So, there is no point in saying more. You should wait until the court to talk about it."
As Xu Zhiyi was speaking, he happened to see an acquaintance and rushed out of the crowd.
Shen Changan and Shen Wuyou were also confused. The lady ran away? ?
When the two were about to catch up, Xu Zhiyi came back dragging a very big man. When they got closer, they saw that this was the Dog Master who wanted to collect the safety fee.
Quan Ye was also extremely scared at this time. After returning that day, he had been dizzy for a whole day and night. He was just feeling better now. He didn't dare to go to East Street to collect the safety fee for the time being.
But he was worried because he hadn't made any money that day, so he came here today during the temple fair to see if he could find any way to make money. However, he was arrested as soon as he arrived.
Woohoo! If he had known this would happen, he should have stayed at home for two more days.
"Hey, hey, I haven't collected any security fees in the past two days! Don't hit me, please don't hit me!"
"I'll change. I'll never charge a safety fee again!"
"I just feel dizzy. If you must hit me, can you please not hit my head? Woohoo! Why am I so unlucky? I just climbed to the top of the mountain..."
Xu Zhiyi let go of the hand that was pulling his collar, pointed at the man next to him and said, "I have something to tell you. Take this man to the government office. He's a pickpocket and a beggar. Do you know what to do?"
When the dog master saw that they were not going to beat him, he was relieved. He was so scared! He thought they were going to drag him to a deserted place to kill him.
"Yes, leave it to me... ahem... little brother Dog. What I hate most in my life is taking pictures of flowers."
The man at the side looked at the tall and big dog master and was immediately trembling with fear. In the end, he was so scared that he blurted out everything:
"No, I really wasn't a pickpocket. I didn't. You are wrongly accusing me!!"
"Also, I'm not a beggar. Someone gave me money to ruin the reputation of Miss Yin Yin. The maid told me her name."
Yin Yin, who was standing by, heard this and quickly asked, "What maid? What color clothes were she wearing?"
"Blue, with two big pink flowers"
"Woo woo, it's really none of my business. At most I am greedy for money, and at worst I am an accomplice."
Yinyin was filled with disappointment when she heard this. That was her personal maid Dongxiang. Why did she hate her so much? She even hired someone to destroy her innocent reputation.
When the woman at the side heard this, she quickly cursed: "This Dongxiang, when I catch her, I will never let her go. She almost hurt my Yinyin, wuwu!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi looked at the woman with a sarcastic look in his eyes: "How could a maid get ten taels of silver? It seems that this matter is not simple! And you, as an aunt, today's incident, when I think about it carefully, you are really a little abnormal"
When Yin Yin heard what Xu Zhiyi said, she suddenly looked at her mistress, and just saw a trace of panic on her part. Her heart sank to the bottom, so, aunt... was she involved too?
She is my aunt! Why?
Woman: "I was so panicked. As a woman, it's understandable that I couldn't handle this kind of thing well."
Xu Zhiyi: "Big dog, take him to the government office"
Master Quan: “Hey, I guarantee it will be done.” Then he grabbed the man and carried him up and ran away!
The man who was carried on the dog's back suddenly turned pale with fright.
The woman was looking at the man who was about to be carried to the yamen and felt very frightened. What if this was traced back to her?
No, as long as Touka can't be found, she can't be found.
Yes, Dongxiang has to be sacrificed. No one can stand in her daughter’s way. Mr. Li can only belong to her daughter.
Yin Yin knelt down with a plop and thanked sincerely: "Thank you, girl. If it weren't for you, I would not be able to get away today! Thank you so much."
Xu Zhiyi helped her up: "Hurry up and get up. You're welcome. I just saw through the man's tricks. But sometimes, some people will only do shady things in secret. You have to be careful."
Upon hearing this, Yin Yin glanced at her aunt out of the corner of her eye, hoping that she was overthinking!
"Girl, my last name is Xue, and my given name is Yinyin. You can call me Yinyin from now on!"
"My name is Xu Zhiyi"
"Miss Zhiyi, if you have time, you are welcome to come to my house to play with me." Then he took out his purse and handed it to Xu Zhiyi: "Take these..."
Xu Zhiyi stuffed the purse back into her hands: "What are you doing? Take it back quickly. I have to go down the mountain. My family is waiting for me. See you later..."
"Chang'an, Wuyou, let's go down the mountain!"
"good"
Yin Yin watched Xu Zhiyi walking away in a hurry. She couldn't catch up with him even if she wanted to. She sighed helplessly and had to put her purse away.
"Yin Yin, let's..."
"Aunt, Yinyin is not in the mood to go shopping anymore. I'm going down the mountain and take a carriage home. You can go shopping slowly by yourself!"
"Oh..." Bah, what kind of family education is this? She actually gave a cold shoulder to her aunt and elder in public. It turns out that a mother from a small family is petty.
