Chapter 17 Not a normal person
Before, Meng Dutou and the yamen runners sighed with great worries when they heard Shi Chuan's words of public security. When Meng Dutou reminisced, Shi Chuan's hands were quick, and he had already grabbed the knife and muttered in a low voice: "Sure enough, the Japanese sword at this time was more like the Tang Heng sword. The blade was not bent at all. Instead, the Pu sword had the natural curvature of the modern Japanese sword. It's amazing. There were only two or three Japanese swords in the Song Dynasty that have been preserved to the modern era, which is valuable."
Mengdu's head was too late to stop Shizhizhi. He held his hand in the air for a long time and finally decided to give up snatching the Japanese sword. He lazily explained himself: "Mom, this Japanese sword can be worth at least 300 to 400 yuan. I wanted to use it as a weapon to hand it over to the county magistrate... Well, fortunately, the yard is full of broken swords and guns, so I will use these broken things as physical evidence and give it to the county magistrate."
Shi Yanei saw Meng Du's expression of regret and interrupted: "Okay, okay, but a broken knife is worth a big deal. It's better to follow our agreement - Dalang killed so many kidnapped people in a row. If one or two remnants who were arrested wanted to take revenge, he should have a self-defense weapon.
Shi Dalang, we just seized some kidnapped things, including Huang E and Huan Niang's clothes and jewelry. Please pick them up - if this thing is handed over to the county as physical evidence, after several tricks of the clerk, there is probably nothing left. Let's give you a favor, and you can pick your own things first."
Shi Yanei's words have something in his words, and even a normal person can understand his obscure meaning, but Shi Dalang is not a normal person. He shook his head: "I have asked Huang E to pick out Huang E's things before. Thank you Yanei for your kindness."
"Mom, why can't this fool understand human words?" Meng Dutou sighed.
Meng Du stomped his head and explained, "I tell you: Those rescued girls return to the county government. The county first needs to place them in a proper place. Then, after the account book of the kidnapper is cracked, then notify the girls' parents one by one... When the parents pick up the girls home, it will be far away and the official documents will take time. This time will take about a year.
During this year, the women were all taken care of by the government, but the government's funds were limited, so the women might not be able to eat and wear and wear every day; and even if the parents of the women received the news that they planned to come to Haizhou to pick up their daughters home, they might not be able to make up the travel expenses they would return.
So during this period, you, a big man, have to support yourself... I'm afraid Huan Niang and Huang E will also send you care, so where do you get the money and food to support them? Today, Yanei takes special care of you and asks you to withdraw some fees from the stolen goods in advance to repay you for your contribution to the rescue. Why are you so stupid?"
Shi Chuan suddenly realized: "His uncle - so that's what happened, then I'm not polite."
Shi Teng bent down and his hands quickly shuttled into the package like a mouse, picking only expensive ones, not right ones. After a while, he picked up a lot of jewelry, picked out a piece of fine brocade fabric from the package, and then rolled up these things without hesitation. Behind him, Meng Dun looked at Shi Yanei with a smile with a reluctant smile: "This guy is really not polite. Mom, he shaved at least one-third of the items... Do we still need to send him a mule?"
Shi Yanei replied: "Hahahaha, how many unexpected wealth is a blessing - Mengdu Tou just think about it this way: If Shi Dalang hadn't fought with the kidnappers, how could we find this group of kidnappers? How could we have this unexpected wealth? How could Mengdu Tou have the unexpected achievements? Later, if Shi Dalang had stopped the tiger with wings, the three war horses, mules and packages were seized, there would be no more."
Meng Du thought about it and smiled: "Yane is a person with a broad mind. Forget it, although we have been hurt, a cheap life is not worth it. Brothers, a cheap life can be exchanged for hundreds of stagnant copper coins, so there is no complaint."
At this point, the chaotic Lotus Garden incident was concluded.
After the stolen goods, it was late. Considering the uneasy road, the yamen runners asked the two soldiers to ride on new war horses and went to the city to move troops overnight with torches. Before the rescuers arrived, people had to hide in the main hall and spend the night in fear.
Early the next morning, the sleeping young ladies were awakened by the sound of footsteps of the time. The guy was walking around the yard with a newly acquired Japanese knife in his hand, chatting with the servants from time to time with the guards, most of whom were boasting about his new treasure sword, and speaking loudly. The awakened ladies were willing to scold him, but in a blink of an eye, considering that his behavior was also loyal to his duty. With this great god checking around, the frightened female ladies finally fell asleep, right?
Forget it, let him go.
There was no bed in the main hall of Taohua Temple, and most girls squeezed on the incense table for a night. Shideng was arranged to sleep at the door that night. After the girl was woken up, she simply put on her clothes and dressed up. It was more troublesome for the woman to pack up. There was no water in the hall, which made her even more troublesome. Huang E's hands were quick, and she combed her hair thickly. She walked to the door and asked, "Where is Dalang?"
Shi Yanei's servant bowed and replied: "Da Lang has gone to the backyard."
Huang E asked again: "Where have the yamen runners gone?"
The servant replied: "Mengdu Tou stayed in the Lotus Garden. After Dalang woke up the yamen runners on duty, the yamen runners all went to the Lotus Garden."
After a while, Miss Chu also packed up. At this time, the youngest Niang Huan began to cry, and Miss Chu hurried over to comfort her. Huang E continued to look around the door of the hall in anxiety. The crying alarmed the other women. The officials and girls who came out to make a fuss were also washed up under the maid's service, and then sat in place, whispering to complain that the bed was too hard and the weather was too cold at night, etc. The abducted girls gathered in the corner of the hall and sobbed quietly.
In the early morning of early spring, the dew was heavy. Although the discussions in the hall were very mixed, everyone lowered their voices, so that the cuckoos outside the hall were clearly heard.
After a little regaining, when Miss Chu saw that Niang Huan was crying pitifully, she stepped forward and grabbed Niang Huan's hand with pity and asked in a low voice: "Don't cry with Niang Huan, tell my sister, are you thirsty or hungry?"
Huan Niang looked around timidly and replied in a low voice: "I disturbed my sister - I must cry in a low voice."
Miss Chu sighed: "Don't be afraid, the kidnapper can no longer bully you. Tell my sister why you cry."
Huang E returned to the hall, gently held Huan Niang's hand, comforted her, "Brother will be back later, wait patiently."
This "after a while" seemed to be very long. Huang E said this word several times, but Shi Chu still didn't hear any movement. Miss Chu frowned when she saw the female companion in the hall, and her stomach made a gurgling sound from time to time. She couldn't help it: "Where did these men go? Where did the breakfast today?"
Walking out of the hall gate, Miss Chu asked the patrol servants nearby: "Where is the Yanei, I am the one who is in the middle of the morning, and I don't cook anymore?"
Several servants smiled bitterly: "Miss Chu, I just sent a reply, saying that we offended the subject yesterday. The subject refused to say that there was not much food in the capital and would not give us food. Yanei and Dutou are negotiating with the subject."
Miss Chu came up angry: "What offends? Isn't it a serious crime for them to keep abducted and shelter the stolen house?"
"But they are Taoist temples!"
The Taoist temple is directly managed by the emperor. It is really a sin, and even ordinary people cannot control it. As soon as this reason was raised, Miss Chu was very rude. She thought about it and asked again: "Where is that fool?"
The servants smiled and pointed in a certain direction: "The fool has been wandering around. This person is full of yin energy. We dare not go up and urge him. He is wandering around, even Yanei and Du's head avoided."
Miss Chu disagreed: "What nonsense is it? A fool who doesn't know the world, you will do this, I'll go find him."
