"The ones my brother and I sent over are worth a total of 170 coins, and any extra coins are considered to be from your store!" Xiaocao was very confident about the amount of copper coins. Given her elder brother's thriftiness, there was nothing special about it. These copper plates should not be touched.
Shopkeeper Zhang spread the string of money in his palm and counted silently in his heart, and it was exactly one hundred and seventy cash, no more, no less. Originally, the money was found in Yu Hang's room after he was drunk and didn't keep his hand, and beat Yu Hang until he vomited blood from the mouth and fell unconscious. Today, Yu Hang's family came to ask for an explanation, so they used it as an excuse hastily.
The onlookers saw that his face changed slightly, and those who were close to him naturally saw clearly that the thread piercing the copper plate was exactly the colorful embroidery thread that Xiaocao said, and the balance in their hearts gradually shifted to Xiaocao's side.
Shopkeeper Zhang said domineeringly: "Hmph! A group of country poor ghosts, who wish they could break a coin into two, how could they be willing to give Yu Hang an allowance of more than 100 cash? Little girl, lying is going to hell!"
"Shopkeeper Zhang, after being framed and framed, you will be served in a steamer and an oil pan!!" Xiaocao's eyes were as black as the night sky, and a little bit of cold light was shining, making people shiver, "Besides, every month Our little brother can afford Rongxuan Academy in Liang Shuxiu, so why wouldn’t he be willing to give up a mere one hundred essays?"
It was only then that people noticed that the youngest boy in the family was wearing the clothes uniformly distributed by the Enlightenment Class of Rongxuan Academy, and they couldn't help but be in awe. Rongxuan Academy is not something that anyone can go to. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers inside. It is said that many houses of high officials and princes in the capital are too crowded to get in!
The grandson of the prefect of Jinwei Prefecture, when he passed the test and entered the enlightenment class, he even entertained guests wantonly! Isn't this little boy a classmate with the magistrate's grandson? If a lawsuit is brought to the prefect's master, I'm afraid the treasurer of this chapter will not be able to get any favors!
"Rong... Rongxuan Academy is amazing? Don't talk about Rongxuan Academy, it's just... the prince broke the law, and he is the same as the common people! The family members of the students of Rongxuan Academy can steal things?" The shopkeeper Zhang was stern, trying to confuse him with nonsense. pass!
"Shopkeeper Zhang, how do you prove that this little brother stole these copper coins?" The handsome young man in the crowd, dressed in a moon-white Wensheng shirt, finally couldn't help but speak. If Xiaocao was in the mood to look over, she would definitely recognize the boy as Yuan Yunxi, the grandson of the foodie dean of Rongxuan Academy.
Shopkeeper Zhang rolled his mouse eyes a few more times, then rolled his eyes and said, "No one can prove that this copper plate was not stolen by Yu Hang!!"
Yu Xiaocao raised her eyebrows, and said with a sneer, "If I can prove that these copper coins are not stolen, what will happen to Shopkeeper Zhang?"
"Well..." Shopkeeper Zhang frowned and hesitated.
"These copper plates are what I got from selling stewed meat and vegetables. There must be some oily spots on the copper plates. Some uncle, please bring a basin of warm water." Yu Xiaocao didn't look at him, but turned to the onlookers.
The crowd of onlookers fell silent for a while, and many people avoided Xiaocao's sight because they were concerned about Shopkeeper Zhang.
Xiaocao's heart was attacked by a burst of coldness. In any era, there are too few people who dare to stand up to the evil forces!
Yuan Yunxi turned around and went into the study shop not far away, and took out a pot full of hot water from inside, squeezing her sleeves, and squeezed into the crowd again: "Girl Xiaocao, the hot water is here!"
Yu Xiaocao looked gratefully at this handsome young man, thanked him sincerely, snatched a bunch of copper coins from shopkeeper Zhang, and continued: "I put these copper coins into the water. It proves that what I said is true-these copper coins are exactly what I sent to my brother."
As she spoke, she tore off the string of copper coins, and threw the copper coins into the basin. Sure enough, rainbow-like oil flowers appeared in the warm water. The onlookers looked at shopkeeper Zhang, full of condemnation and disgust.
Shopkeeper Zhang wanted to quibble again: "If there are oil flowers, it proves that the money is yours? Maybe these copper coins were found for us by the butcher! Our Zhang Ji has to pick meat every day, and there are oil and so on. It’s inevitable to be stained with oil or something. My guy Ji saw Yu Hang wandering around the cashier with his own eyes—Little Xing, don’t you think so?”
The one who was called "Little Star" by shopkeeper Zhang was Xiaocao's buddy who called Yu Hang every time he came to help. He was originally watching the excitement, but he was suddenly called by the shopkeeper. After a while of panic, he was busy under the warning gaze of the shopkeeper, and responded evasively:
"Yes, yes... I saw Yu Hang sneaking around near the cashier before... I must have something wrong!"
Yu Xiaocao shot at the guy like a knife like a sword, and her voice was full of sharpness and accusation: "Brother, you have to be responsible for what you say! Have you ever seen my brother enter the account room with your own eyes? Have you ever seen my brother enter the account room with your own eyes? Seeing my brother steal money from the cashier? If not, how can you be sure that my brother has evil intentions?"
After all, the guy was young, and he hadn't practiced the kung fu of shopkeeper Zhang opening his eyes and telling nonsense. After being scolded by Xiaocao for a while, he stammered and insisted on his own opinion.
Shopkeeper Zhang glared at him, cursing the clerk for his incompetence in his heart, and said to himself, "Who would wander around the cashier's office if they have nothing to do? It's obviously just to steal!"
"Shopkeeper Zhang! I heard that your Zhangji business is good, and you have recently received a large order from the elite in the capital. Is there such a thing?" Yu Xiaocao suddenly turned the conversation elsewhere.
Zhang Dongming stroked the sparse goatee beard on his chin, and said triumphantly: "Not bad!! The wooden utensils made by our Zhangji are famous in the capital! The big celebrity Fang, who is next to King Yang Jun, is all in our Zhangji. Pass the screen and the Babu bed! Hmph! If the boy surnamed Yu dares to steal from my store, it would be good if he didn’t send you to the official, so what a beating is nothing!!”
Yu Xiaocao looked indifferently at Zhang's shopkeeper's villainous appearance, and said with a cold snort: "Since Zhang Ji's business is so booming, the money in and out of the account room every day is not a hundred and eight thousand, and it must not be less. Right? You said that my brother has been plotting to steal for a long time, how stupid is my brother to give up the cashier’s wasted money and not steal, but only steal a hundred and ten copper coins?”
"Uh..." Shopkeeper Zhang choked for a moment, rolled his eyes, and argued forcefully, "Your brother is cowardly, afraid of being discovered if you steal too much! Little girl, stop making excuses. Take your brother away quickly, the thief I will be merciful and will not pursue it anymore!"
"Shopkeeper Zhang, there is a god standing three feet up, whether my brother is a thief or not, God will decide for himself!! I, Yu Xiaocao, dare to swear to God, what I say is absolutely true! I dare to guarantee my life, my brother will never be able to." Stealing!" Yu Xiaocao briefly exchanged a few words with Xiaobu Tianshi in her heart, and then swore, "If these copper coins were stolen, our whole family would be willing to be struck by lightning—I don't know if Shopkeeper Zhang dares to act like that." Shall I swear the same oath?"
Although shopkeeper Zhang had a guilty conscience, he pretended to be indifferent, and said with a sneer, "Swear? It's just lip service, who wouldn't?"
He looked at the thick dark clouds in the sky, pointed at the sky, and said in a strange voice: "God, I, Zhang Dongming, swear to the sky..."
Rumbling... Before Zhang Dongming's voice fell, thunder rolled in the dark clouds above his head, and the light of lightning was faintly visible in the clouds. Shopkeeper Zhang was startled and took a few steps back, his eyes, which were originally full of joking, faintly flickered with fear.
It won't really come true, will it? Think of him, Zhang Dongming, who has lived for more than fifty years, and has made hundreds, if not thousands, of solemn oaths. Isn't Zhang Dongming still alive and well? snort! It's just this yellow-haired girl who attaches so much importance to swearing. Swear to be as good as a fart? It must have been a coincidence just now, it's cloudy today, it's not normal to hit a Thunder God horse!
Just as Zhang Dongming's heart was surging, a golden light that no one else could see shot straight into the sky from Yu Xiaocao's wrist, and flew into the dense cloud.
Above the clouds, the blue-skinned and sharp-mouthed Lei Gong lazily fiddled with the thunder hammer in his hand, and after a big yawn, he casually tapped the hammer in his hand. Suddenly, thunder rolled in the sky, and the earth was shrouded in this muffled thunder.
With silver hair hanging down to the ground, a charming figure and a picturesque face, Dianmu was facing the mirror in her hand, squeezing the pimples on her face that she didn't know when.
"Old woman, don't be smug! It's time to flash!!" Lei Gong couldn't help reminding, but unexpectedly, Dianmu blew up.
"Who do you call 'Old Lady'? How dare you mention the word 'old' in front of the beautiful, charming, smoldering... (one thousand words are omitted here) Lady Lightning! I think you are impatient!!" Mother of Lightning raised the mirror in her hand, and a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, striking where Lei Gong was.
Lei Gong easily dodged the bolt of lightning, and apologized perfunctorily: "Okay! I made a slip of the tongue! It's not an 'old woman', but a 'beautiful lady'. Can you make it? You said we were relegated to this small space lacking spiritual energy , who beats thunder and beats drums and looks in the mirror every day, what future is there? When can we return to the Nine Heavens and serve by the side of Lingzu Niangniang, even if I don’t want to be the god of thunder, I’m willing to just be a gatekeeper!"
Speaking of this, Mother Dian got angry, pinched Lei Gong severely, and said bitterly: "It's not you! It's not good to offend anyone, but to offend His Highness Silver Wolf, who is the most beloved of Lingzu Empress! Otherwise, how could we Being exiled in this place where the birds don't shit?"
"How did I know that beautiful little wolf is the beloved pet of the Lingzu Empress? His Highness Silver Wolf is too stingy, but only a few hairs were burnt, and he actually complained to the Lingzu Empress! Alas!" Lei Gong regretted so much It's all blue.
At this moment, a golden glow flashed by, and a golden child the size of a child's fist appeared in front of Lei Gong and Dian Mu.
"Where is the monster, quickly show your true colors!" Lei Gong stood in front of Dianmu, and pointed the thunder hammer at the little golden cat warily.
"Hmph! Little Lei, you are so brave! How dare you call the god stone a 'monster'! I think you don't want to go back to the spirit ancestor space?" The little golden cat glanced at him with disdain, and spoke .
