80. Old Forest Town (1)

As soon as the waiter of the shop left, Bu Suanzi secretly sent Jiang Sheng and Yao Guangqi a pill, each of them, and a voice also came into their ears, "Eat before taking the medicine, just in case of an accident, it may be a black shop."

When Yao Guangqi and Jiang Sheng heard this, they immediately became nervous. Yao Guangqi was better and felt a little relieved. They thought that even a black shop would be harder than the Jinyiwei? Besides, the master said that the python blood in his body was very domineering, and the ordinary poison could not do anything to him, so they bowed their heads to eat boldly and watched the situation change. But Jiang Sheng was so nervous that he was so nervous that he kept shaking. Although he had taken the pills, his hands were shaking constantly. When picking up the dishes, he couldn't hold the dishes. His hands were not idle either. He was holding his wooden stake tightly, and his sword was hidden there.

The three of them were eating like this. Suddenly, a large group of people came in outside the door. After entering, they came in, and came to the master and apprentice and surrounded the three of them. At this time, the waiter who had been greeting the three of them jumped out from somewhere, pointed at Yao Guangqi and the other two and said, "It's them all."

While surrounded, Jiang Sheng had already put down his chopsticks and held his wooden stake with both hands, ready to take action at any time. However, seeing that Bu Suanzi had not moved, he did not act rashly. Bu Suanzi winked at Yao Guangqi, Yao Guangqi immediately understood and stood up and said, "What's the matter? You can discuss something!"

A middle-aged man stood up in the crowd. He was white, short and fat, and looked over forty years old. However, because his face was very fat, he had no wrinkles at all and looked quite kind. The man said, "Someone mentioned that there were thieves here pretending to be monks. You guys took out the certificates and road rays, and they must be checked correctly, otherwise you will be arrested to the government."

Yao Guangqi grabbed his ear and said with a smile: "Who did you raise it? Where did you do it?"

When the short and fat man heard Yao Guangqi ask him back, he immediately raised his face and snorted and said, "Tell him."

The short and fat man said one person behind him: "This is our patriarch Kong Deshan, the village chief and grain chief of this town, or a famous good man in this town. He has been to the capital and met the emperor."

Yao Guangqi was surprised when he heard this man's words, and his expression seemed extremely respectful, just like a country bun in the countryside who had never seen the world in his life suddenly saw a big man. His eyes were full of admiration and awe, and his movements were particularly respectful. He lowered his head and bowed his head and bowed and said, "It turns out that he is a good man, and the little monk has politeness here. But good man, we are really monks, not big thieves. How can we see a big thieves of our age?"

The short and fat man was very satisfied with Yao Guangqi's performance: "You are quite polite and obeying the rules. Although you have some truths, you still have to pack up and follow us. You can't explain this nonsense."

Yao Guangqi's expression seemed very embarrassed: "We haven't violated a single king's law."

The short and fat man was a little impatient, "Stop talking nonsense. You don't have to say anything about whether you violate the king's law. If you leave or not, we will do it."

Yao Guangqi turned his head and looked at the waiter, stared at the waiter's eyes and said, "We are a monk and two Taoist priests, but they don't look like bad people no matter how they look."

There was someone next to the waiter in the shop to raise his courage and seemed to be confident: "No monks can anyone bring so much money when going out? Or is it a whole piece of silver? Who can give the whole piece of silver to beg for alms?"

Yao Guangqi smiled and said, "How do you know that we have the whole piece of silver and we haven't paid the bill yet?"

The waiter was stunned when asked. Of course, he was embarrassed to say that he had touched it when he deliberately slipped and just now, so he had to forcibly argue: "It's just that there is a whole piece of silver, I've seen it with my own eyes."

Yao Guangqi said to the short and fat man: "Look, if we really have a lot of money, can this Taoist priest wear a ripped Taoist robe?"

The short fat man sneered: "Maybe you deliberately dressed like this to cover up your eyes."

Yao Guangqi looked helpless, "It seems that no matter how you explain, you won't believe us."

The short and fat man opened his mouth again: "Stop talking nonsense, you will know if there is any stolen silver if you search."

Yao Guangqi quickly reached out and stopped him: "You are not officials from the government, how can you search for your body casually?"

The waiter seemed very proud: "I dare not let the search, there must be a ghost. If I am really innocent, what are I afraid of searching?"

The short and fat man also said: "Yes, there is a ghost."

Yao Guangqi sighed helplessly: "Did you ask you to search and prove our innocence? It's okay?"

The short and fat man said, "Stop talking nonsense, search first."

Two people came up behind the short and fat man, and they snatched the bags beside Yao Guangqi. But when they opened them, they found that there were books, one by one, and a few monk's robes and Taoist robes. There were silver, but only a few pieces of scattered silver, and it was probably less than ten taels of 10 taels of 10 taels of 10.

The waiter was a little unwilling to give up and came up to read it carefully, even opening the books one by one, but still found nothing.

Yao Guangqi said from the side: "Be gentle, these books are very expensive, and some of them are rare ancient books. If they are broken, they will be lost."

"No," the waiter was puzzled: "I clearly touched it, so I must have asked them to transfer the bag secretly."

Yao Guangqi was about to laugh, but he heard the short fat man say, "Search for your body, maybe you're hiding it."

Yao Guangqi was about to stop him, but saw the master smiling and shaking his head. Yao Guangqi immediately understood and said with a smile: "I've finished searching, let us go."

The three masters and apprentices were searched like this, but after searching, they still found nothing. The short and fat man turned around and stared at the waiter with a questioning look. The waiter was really anxious. Cold sweat had already oozed out of his forehead. He had been secretly observing the three of them, confirming that the three of them had always been eating at the table and had never been out, so the money must be on these people. Is it in this wood?

The waiter leaned into his arms with his hand faintly. Fortunately, there was still a piece of silver in his pocket. Thinking of this, he took out the silver in his arms and said to the short fat man: "This is what he gave me just now, saying it was the money for food, and the excess was rewarded for me."

Before everyone could see clearly what was going on, Yao Guangqi somehow copied the piece of broken silver in his hand and said with a smile: "I clearly gave you a fifty taels of silver, but why did it become so small so quickly? I'm afraid this piece of silver is less than five taels."

The waiter was anxious and quickly reached out to grab the silver, saying, "When did you give me fifty taels? Even this one is me..."
