Tang Chen said that she didn't know this old man, and she didn't think he was a scammer: "Huh? I'm not Nezha, and old man, I don't know you; how can it be me, it's me. It's me?"
Seeing that Tang Chen had been identified, Lin Quan quickly confirmed, "Are you serious? If you are lying, the law is here, even if you are an old man, you will not be forgiven easily."
The old man beat his chest and stamped his feet, saying, "Really? She stole the painting. It's my master's treasure. I have witnesses. If they hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known she had it!"
Tang Chen said that she herself runs a study and there is no problem getting any good painting she wants; moreover, she doesn't like collecting these things. Could it be that she really made a mistake? Could it be that Wang Yanzhou disguised himself as her again to do bad things?
"What the hell is going on? Why don't you just tell me what happened first? I don't know what the hell this messed up painting is! Also, where are you taking me? I want to see Lin Feng. I'm innocent!"
Lin Quan said that what Tang Chen said made sense. As a man aged, his memory tended to become fuzzy, and he couldn't be sent to jail based on his one-sided testimony. "Wait, let's go search her house first and see if we can find any 'stolen goods'."
"yes!"
As expected, after a short wait, Tang Chen met the officials from the government office and somehow managed to move into the "five-star luxury apartment" in Qinghe County. It was breathable on three sides, dry and comfortable, though the lighting wasn't very good, but food and accommodation were included.
After Tang Chen looked at the people who shared the same room with him, he slowly moved in front of a righteous-looking man and asked quietly, "Hero, have you also been wronged?"
After glancing at Tang Chen as if he were an idiot, he changed his attitude and continued to cling to the three wooden poles surrounding the cell, looking in the direction of the prison door, like a wife waiting for her husband.
Tang Chen saw that no one here was talking, and for some reason, he felt a sense of oppression. As expected, people still have to be good people. Even if people weren't bullied and had food and drink in a place like this, they would still become sick from the stress. He probably wouldn't even be able to speak properly by the time he was released.
Tang Chen was bored and didn't dare to talk to anyone, so he just leaned against the wooden pole and thought about life and what bad things he had done. As he thought about it, Tang Chen's mind suddenly flashed: Now it's obvious that she is a good citizen who abides by the law and has not evaded taxes or anything like that; stealing is even more impossible, there must be someone behind the scenes!
Furthermore, wasn't it agreed that people like her, blessed by the Buddha, could escape unharmed and mingle with the crowd even if they were imprisoned? Could this script have been messed up again? Could it be that these people would fabricate some crime and torture her? Finally, after Wang Yanzhou or Lin Feng arrived and rescued her from the brink of death, and after she had overcome numerous hardships and recovered from her injuries, Tang Chen would be reborn as a heroic woman, finally carrying a halo and creating a legendary life?
Before Tang Chen finished singing Tears Behind Bars in his heart, she was inexplicably brought out again: "Brother, what exactly does this mean, brother? Can you give me a definite answer?"
Lin Quan looked at Tang Chen with a complicated expression and said, "My Lord, your meaning is very clear. Considering that the things you stole have been returned to the original owner and you have admitted your mistake with a good attitude, I will not punish you any further this time. This will not happen again."
After that, someone came forward and removed the shackles from Tang Chen's hands. Tang Chen stretched his sore wrists. Although he still had a lot of questions in his mind, he just said, "Thank you, sir!"
"Okay, go pay the fine."
"Okay," Tang Chen raised his foot and prepared to leave. After reacting, he suddenly turned around and asked in horror: "Wait, what the hell is a fine!"
Lin Quan said that although the physical punishment was waived, after all, there was witnesses and evidence. If no warning was given, the person who reported the case would not be able to let it go. "It's just a fine, and someone will take you there after you get out of the cell."
Tang Chen suddenly looked sad and replied, "...Oh."
When Tang Chen went to pay the fine, she was in a state of half-death. She didn't know whether she had been unlucky recently or had been bullied. She had clearly done nothing wrong. She had just stayed at the Liuxiang Tavern, eating and drinking, and hadn't gone anywhere. How could she be accused, detained, and fined? This day's experience was too much!
Chen Xin, who was anxiously waiting outside the prison, and Liang Shuyi, who went out with his face covered in broad daylight, saw Tang Chen coming out and hurried over to greet him.
Without waiting for Tang Chen to speak, Liang Shuyi gently pulled down the dark mask on his face. After looking him up and down, he asked with a hint of disappointment, "Why didn't they hit you?"
"Indifference," well, who wants these plastic sisters? I'll sell them for two yuan. For two yuan, you can't get hurt; for two yuan, you can't get cheated; for two yuan, you can't buy anything except plastic flowers...
Chen Xin saw that there were many people outside and it would be bad if Liang Shuyi was accidentally exposed, so he suggested: "Let's go back first and talk slowly after we get back."
This time, Tang Chen was finally able to return to our little courtyard. As soon as they returned, the three of them searched the house thoroughly. The reason was simple: Tang Chen had to know what the so-called stolen goods were, and whether anyone had broken into her house and taken her treasures while she was away.
After a thorough search, not only were there no missing items, but there were actually many more small items she'd collected at some point in her life. After taking inventory of her finances, Tang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the so-called stolen goods were actually the painting of an orange cat descending a mountain that she had found long ago in Chun Zai Tang's small warehouse.
And now, the old man who had retrieved our young master's lost scroll was actually going to see Black Crow with the painting. After Black Crow retrieved the painting, he saw that the scroll was completely dust-free and the ink hadn't spread. He could tell how carefully the previous owner had preserved and protected it. The only person who could treasure this painting was someone who shared a similar fate. "...Where did you find this painting?"
Speaking of this, the old man was a little angry. He didn't know where that female thief came from, but she was released after being fined some silver. It was really hateful: "It was from a damn female thief!"
