Chapter 460: Cheating
On the busy street, Liu Jin drove the carriage carefully. Although he was young, he was very good at driving. The horse they brought from Fuyuan was very smart. Even if it was frightened, it would calm down after a few shouts. But even so, he was careful because Su Zhi was sitting in the carriage. She was pregnant. Liu Jin respected Su Zhi very much, so he was careful everywhere.
But even with such caution, something went wrong.
A man fell in front of the carriage, screaming continuously, as if he was knocked down by the carriage, but Liu Jin was sure that the carriage did not hit that man at all!
"What's wrong?"
When Shen Zian saw the carriage stopped and heard loud howling outside, he lifted the curtain and asked.
Liu Jin said, "Master, I'm afraid we have run into someone who wants to trick us. I'm absolutely sure that our carriage did not hit that person. That person must have been faking his screams."
Liu Yin also said, "That's right, sir. This guy must be pretending. I just saw him deliberately approaching us. Before we even touched him, he fell to the ground! I didn't expect that there are such despicable people in the capital! It's really embarrassing!"
"Hey! You little kid! How dare you talk like that?"
At this time, many people had gathered around the person who was screaming on the ground. There will always be people watching the excitement in this world. A middle-aged man in his thirties stood up and shouted in dissatisfaction after hearing what Liu Jin and Liu Yin said.
"It was obviously your carriage that hit my brother! Now you are refusing to admit it! Don't think that you are rich and can bully us poor people just because you are driving a carriage! The barefoot are not afraid of those wearing shoes! If you don't pay us today, we will never let you go! You can't leave today, either pay us now or we will go to the government office!"
"So you two are in the same group?!"
Liu Yin cried out, and he fell off the carriage. He puffed out his chest and said loudly, "I'm telling you. If we really met this man, our master and mistress are kind-hearted people and would naturally take him to the hospital to treat his injuries. But we didn't meet him! We won't take this loss!"
After Liu Yin finished speaking, he looked back. Seeing that his brother and Shen Zian did not show any sign of wrongness, he immediately turned back.
"Our carriage was moving so slowly on the street that even people could pass by it, and our horses were so obedient that they didn't even neigh. Otherwise, we could have hit your brother. I can only say that your brother hit him himself! It wasn't us who hit him! If you want to trick us, you have found the wrong person!"
When the man on the ground heard this, he screamed even louder and wanted to roll on the ground.
The middle-aged man who helped said to the people watching the excitement: "Everyone, please judge for yourself! How can anyone hit a carriage in this world?! My brother is not a fool. He is not crazy! It was obviously their carriage that hit someone, and now he is still making a fuss here. He is relying on his wealth to not treat us poor people as human beings! Everyone, please judge for yourself!"
At this time, some people who were watching the excitement started talking, one after another, saying that Liu Jin and Liu Yin were wrong.
"I said that you have to pay compensation if your carriage hits someone! You can't cheat! You have money to ride in the carriage. Don't you have money to pay for the man's medical expenses?"
"You should just give the money and keep things quiet. If he ends up in the government office, it will cost more than just the medical expenses!"
"This guy is really pitiful. Look how miserable he is. You should give him some money and let him see a doctor!"
"People should not do things that hurt their conscience, otherwise there will be retribution."
"It doesn't matter if he wants to cheat you or not. Just spend the money to avoid disaster!"
These people were so one-sided that Liu Yin was so angry that he almost jumped up and down, but Liu Jin pulled him back. Otherwise, he really wanted to shout back a few words, "Why? Why do they have to spend money to avoid disaster? Why do they have to be the ones who are in the wrong just because they are driving the carriage? Why do they have to be punished if they don't pay?"
Su Zhi looked at the scene outside through the crack of the curtain and said to Shen Zian, "Zi'an, I think that person is here to tease us. The person who just helped him is one of their gang."
"Wife, please sit in the car and wait. I will go and take care of this matter."
Shen Zian told Su Zhi that he thought those people outside were really hateful. He and his wife were just out for a stroll, but they messed it up. When he got out of the carriage, everyone looked at him, thinking of him as a handsome and heroic man!
Shen Zian was wearing a green short-sleeved shirt today, a pair of short boots on his feet, a cloth scarf of the same color on his head, and the jade pendant and sachet on his waist. Just standing there, he attracted a lot of attention.
"You said your brother was hit by my horse painting? Was he injured?"
Shen Zian looked at the middle-aged man, his dark eyes fixed on him, without a smile on his face.
No one around said anything. The middle-aged man looked at Shen Zian and felt a little nervous. He thought that this young man was young, but he had a strong aura. He had seen many rich and powerful people before. This young man really didn't look like an ordinary person! Did he make a mistake this time? Obviously, the carriage was not very good!
"Our master is asking you a question! Go ahead and answer it!" Liu Yin shouted to the middle-aged man.
"Yinzi, speak softly and don't alarm the Madam." Liu Jin said from the side.
Liu Yin shut up immediately. In his heart, the sky is big, the earth is big, but not as big as his wife. He just wanted to vent his anger for his master and his wife, not to scare her.
The middle-aged man heard the conversation between Liu Jin and Liu Yin, and said to Shen Zian, "Sir, are you taking your wife out for a walk? You are a wealthy family with money and free time, you should accumulate virtue and do good deeds, so that your descendants will have endless blessings! Your carriage hit my brother today, you should at least give him some money for medical treatment, right? He has an 80-year-old mother and 8-year-old children to support! Please be kind!"
The words had been softened, and received a lot of sympathetic voices from those around.
Among these sympathetic voices, there was a laugh that was very different. Everyone looked towards the carriage and thought that the laugh was really nice, but it seemed inappropriate to laugh at this time. Was it the lady in the carriage who was laughing? Wasn't this lady too unsympathetic?
The middle-aged man said, "Madam in the carriage, what are you laughing at? Could it be that my brother was hit by your carriage and is now screaming in pain? Do you think it's funny?"
Su Zhi thought that she had gotten into trouble by laughing while sitting in the carriage, but she didn't care about the trouble.
"Just now you said that this man has an 80-year-old mother. I found it very funny. I think he is only a little over 10 years old. I don't know how old his 80-year-old mother was when she gave birth to him. And how old was he when he got married to have an 8-year-old child. I envy his family, both old and young, because they are all so amazing that I can laugh."
Su Zhi just laughed because she thought of many thieves who would say that they have an 80-year-old mother and 8-month-old children after being caught. But the age of this person today was even more interesting, so she laughed out loud.
Su Zhi's voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, and it was filled with smiles, which made the ears of the listeners feel extremely comfortable. After hearing Su Zhi's words, they found it too unbelievable and immediately realized that it was a lie. They all laughed, but looked at the young man and the middle-aged man on the ground with contempt.
The middle-aged man's face froze, and he realized that what he said was really unreliable!
The person on the ground stopped shouting for a moment, and then turned into groaning, obviously feeling very embarrassed.
"That was just an analogy." The middle-aged man said, "My brother has elderly and children to support at home. You see, he is still a teenager. He was hit like this. If you pay him some money, you can just consider it a good deed."
Su Zhi said in the car: "Zi'an, since you are doing a good deed, just do it to the end, see how badly the man is injured, and then send him to the hospital."
"Wife, please rest in the car. I will show him this."
After Shen Zian finished speaking, he went to look at the person lying on the ground. The middle-aged man did not stop him and let Shen Zian pass by, saying that Shen Zian did not believe them and thought they were liars, and that they were really wronged. Shen Zian ignored him and went to ask the person on the ground where he was injured.
The young man said it was his arms and legs that hurt too.
Shen Zian lifted the clothes on the man's arm and saw a purple wound. Shen Zian frowned and wondered what was going on. He believed that Liu Jin was right. The man definitely did not hit the carriage. Could it be that the wound had been there before? He saw the boy's eyes rolling and hurriedly covered the wound with his sleeve. He grabbed the boy's arm and grabbed the wound, but he did not hear the boy scream. He raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, thinking that it was true, the wound was fake!
"Liu Yin, bring some water."
“Here I come!”
Liu Yin immediately took out a gourd. He usually liked to carry this gourd with him wherever he went. It was filled with water so he could drink it at any time.
Shen Zian lifted up the young man's sleeves and said to Liu Yin, "Pour water on the wound!"
When Liu Yin heard this, he immediately pulled out the stopper from the gourd, opened the gourd spout, and started pouring water.
The middle-aged man and the young man were both anxious. The middle-aged man came over to stop him, and the young man was also anxious to pull his arm back. They were indeed liars. They always made some fake injuries on their bodies and then cheated people when they had the right opportunity. When those people saw the injuries on their bodies, they would always spend money to avoid disaster. They never thought that they would meet someone who knew the truth today. They were in trouble!
