Chapter 23: Turning around

"I'm not a bandit, I'm not a gangster..."

Although the old man called out to the sky and the earth, his thin arms and legs were not strong enough, and his resistance was not strong. The yamen runners subdued him easily.

"Unpared? When you arrive at the yamen, you will know if it is wronged or not, take it away!"

Zhao Bantou snorted coldly and waved his hand.

Lin Dong looked at Liu Shun calmly, and the boy's face was filled with irresistible radiance.

"Xiao Liu, when did he stay in the inn?"

"Last evening." Wang Liuzhi said a little, "It's better to be a bandit! He has just stayed in our inn for one night and spent more than a dozen taels of silver. I was about to inquire about how long he wanted to stay in the inn! I didn't expect to be arrested today."

"See a way to knock him out." Lin Dong whispered.

"Smash it out?" Monk Wang Liuzhi and Zhang Er were confused and couldn't understand what Lin Dong meant for a moment.

Lin Dong touched the teapot on the table and quietly stuffed it to Wang Liuzhi: "As I said, I couldn't stand the bandits, and I burst him out with anger."

Wang Liuzhi felt something was wrong then and didn't dare to ask more questions. He carried the teapot and touched the teacup and squeezed towards the center of the yamen runners.

"Tao Zhao Bantu, thank you for your hard work, come and have a cup of tea."

Seeing that it was almost in the middle, Wang Liuyi filled a cup of tea and smiled and leaned towards Zhao Bantou.

"kindness!"

After taking the teacup, Zhao Bantou drank it all in one go. He was about to hand the empty teacup to Wang Liuzhi when he saw him suddenly swing the teapot in his hand and smashing it into the old man's head.

"What I hate most in my life is the bandits. I don't think I will beat you to death."

Bang!

The tea water overflowed, and the teapot exploded in an instant. The old man rolled his eyes, his mouth opened, and his softness fell.

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Bantou shouted loudly, and the yamen runners' hearts tightened suddenly and stared at Wang Liumai with a burning heart.

"Tao Zhao Ban, you don't know that when I went out the distance two years ago, I almost died in the hands of the bandits. Now, when I saw the bandits, I had to exclaim whatever they said." Wang Liuzhi smiled and stepped forward, and a ingot of silver was stuffed into Zhao Bantou's hands quietly.

"Yes! Take the person away." Zhao Bantou looked at Wang Liuzhi deeply, then nodded, waved his hand, and headed towards the gate first.

Liu Shun was stunned. According to his script, after the old man was taken to the door, he should have started calling Manager Lin to help him. At that time, Zhao Bantu would definitely feel suspicious. After asking again, the old man would provide Manager Lin with him.

But he has fainted, how can he continue to perform the script?

Seeing that the old man who was unconscious was about to be carried out of the lobby, Fu Zizhou said to himself: "I don't know if I wake up and ask if there are any accomplices. These yamen runners have really poor ability to do things."

Liu Shun shuddered, reacted instantly, and shouted impatiently: "Wait, wake up the person, ask if there are any accomplices, otherwise, who dares to live in this inn?"

The two yamen runners holding the old man stopped and looked at Zhao Banto together.

Zhao Bantou subconsciously touched the silver that Wang Liuzhi had just stuffed, pondered for a moment, and nodded. The yamen runners immediately put the old man down, patted his face, and pinched the one who had just been in the middle of the body.

Wang Liuzhi couldn't help but look at Lin Dong, but the response he received was just to shake his head gently.

It seems that the bet was wrong!

Lin Dongxin was helpless. He originally thought that Fu Zizhou would not interfere. After the old man was taken away, he would ask Bai Jingtai to help him spend some money to deal with the matter. Unexpectedly, Fu Zizhou's ruling would be so poor that he even spoke to remind Liu Shun regardless of the suspicion of Yun Lan.

I guess this prison disaster cannot be avoided!

When Wang Liuzhi came to his side, Lin Dong whispered: "If I am taken away, immediately rush to Gu Huanzong to find the sect leader Xiao Tianchi and let him save me."

Wang Liuzhi couldn't see that Liu Shun wanted to frame Lin Dong as a fool. He was still worried and he heard this. The leader of the Gu Huan Sect came forward. No matter whether you are Grand Master Fu or the Emperor, you must first consider whether there is any need to cause this trouble.

"I'm wronged, I'm wronged..."

The old man woke up and found the situation around him, he immediately started calling out to the sky and the earth.

"Say, are there any accomplices in the inn? If not..." Zhao Bantuo nodded, and the two yamen runners put the bright big knife around the old man's neck.

"I said I said..."

The blade was cold and harsh. The old man was a little afraid of being injured by accident, so he dared not shout and nodded quickly.

Do you really have accomplices?

A group of yamen runners were happy. The big families in Xilan City offered a reward of 100 taels of silver to catch the bandits. Although the 100 taels of silver could only fall on them, that was a considerable amount. If you catch one more, it would be another 300 taels!

Liu Shun was more happy than the yamen runners. The eyes that looked at Lin Dong were hot and hot. Next, the old man should call Manager Lin to help him.

"Shopkeeper Lin, help me, I was wronged..."

"As soon as I scared, I'll tell you that the shopkeeper of this inn has collusion with the bandits! No one believed me, and I don't know who I am Liu Shun, let alone Xilan City, who can see people in the Qiufeng Mansion better than me? From the first glance, I can tell that this shopkeeper Lin is not a good person."

Liu Shun glanced at Lin Dong proudly, and saw that his face was still calm, he became more and more proud. This fool still couldn't see that he was in great trouble, and probably he might not be able to figure it out when he was beheaded.

"Shut up! I just asked him for help because Manager Lin was kind and generous." Fu Zizhou's face turned pale and he wanted to kick Liu Shun behind him to death.

Liu Shun became stiff, as if...it seemed that this sentence really did not prove that Manager Lin and the old man were accomplices, and he had to wait until the next sentence he had told the old man came out.

Here, the old man shouted again: "I was really wronged. Look, I am an old beggar from Sanliu Street! How could it be a bandit?"

"Old beggar?"

For a moment, everyone inside and outside the lobby was stunned, and even Lin Dong was confused. What was Fu Zizhou singing this? Could it be that he just wanted to scare himself? He wasn't that kind, right?

Liu Shun was completely stunned. He finally turned the old man's accident back from being knocked out. Why did something happen again? As the old man, as the instructions, the following should ask Manager Lin to save him in a threatening tone, which would arouse suspicion from others.

"Really, I am really an old beggar from Sanliu Street." The old man disturbed his head, and had an idea. He shook the yamen runners holding him, and touched the ground with both hands for a few strokes, and then grabbed the hair desperately. In the blink of an eye, the silver-black hair became messy.

"That's right!"

The old beggar simply lay down again, tossed and turned on the ground while pulling his long gown to pieces, and then got up again, and turned like an old beggar on the street.

"Hey, when you look at it, you're really an old beggar from Sanliu Street."

"Yes, I didn't think it was true just now."

Many people began to respond in the crowd. Not to mention, Lin Dong also looked familiar with the dirty look of the old man. He had rescued countless beggars and was particularly dedicated to the elderly and young children. He did look like this old man in his memory.

"Bantou Zhao, on the day of heavy snow just a few months ago, I blocked the road and said I had hit someone and pulled the old beggar who insisted on surrendering?"

A yamen runner suddenly started shouting.

"Yes, yes, it's me, I'm that old beggar." The old man nodded hurriedly: "I almost froze to death in those days. I was really sorry for Manager Lin's food and drink, so I sneaked out and happened to meet you. I thought, in the middle of winter, where is the place where there is a cell? I don't have to sleep on the streets with food and accommodation. Unfortunately, I have seen through it."
