Su Yizhao looked at the right and wrong in front of him and kept walking, but he couldn't help but think of Wen Yu.
Wen Yu was already extremely ill when she came across. Later, she caught cold, and Wen Yu took care of her around the clock, which made her condition worse.
He passed away within a few days.
Su Yizhao and Wen Yu only got along for less than seven days, and during half of that time, she was dizzy with fever.
But every time she woke up, the sick-looking woman was standing by her bed, her face full of worry and anxiety.
She was also a beautiful woman. Even though she had been in bed for many years, she still had a beautiful face and elegant manners.
"Let him go, my son will never do this."
The woman's sad voice rang in his ears, and Su Yizhao heard despair and fear.
"Mom, go back first, I'll be back soon!" The young man couldn't get away, and he was angry in his heart, but he could only shout weakly.
"Catch him and bring him to the official!"
"I was the one who watched me grow up, and I feel a little reluctant to let go. That's okay! Let's forget about it..."
At this time, the man who caught the boy saw that everyone was very excited, so he wanted to let it go!
"No way! Stealing needles when you are young, stealing gold when you grow up! If I can steal from you today, I can steal from us tomorrow."
The place quickly became a mess. Su Yizhao was about to climb onto the carriage, but when he turned around to look, he paused.
"See the official! Go, arrest him and see the official!"
"Wait a minute!" A childish voice sounded, but no one paid attention.
"Young master! Let's stop meddling in other people's business!" Uncle Zhong saw that his seventh young master was going to meddle in such nosy business, so he quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.
Su Wenqing walked up to behind Su Yizhao but did not stop him.
He looked at the small figure in front of him with an incomprehensible look.
Seeing that his master didn't stop him, Uncle Zhong could only sigh.
"Everyone, wait a minute! Don't be impatient!" Uncle Zhong shouted, finally silencing everyone present.
Everyone looked back and saw a group of people dressed in rich and noble clothes. They looked at each other, but they were no longer excited.
"Uncle! You just said that this little brother stole your money bag, is that true?"
Su Yizhao frowned slightly, walked forward and asked.
The man was stunned when he heard this, then nodded, "Yes!"
"I didn't!" The young man still refused to admit it, and his face was already stained with tears.
Su Yizhao said to the young man: "Since you said you did not steal, then tell everyone what happened today."
Then Su Yizhao turned to the man and said, "Let him go first. I have a servant here, so he won't dare to run away. If he is really stealing, then my father will also turn him over to the government."
"Exactly!" Su Wenqing nodded and cupped his hands to everyone.
"Qin Da, then just listen to what he has to say, otherwise we won't give him a chance to explain."
When an old man saw this, he felt that everyone was too excited and should be given a chance to explain.
The old man should be quite prestigious in the neighborhood, so everyone also advised the man to let the young man go first.
"Thank you!" The young man was deeply moved when he saw that someone was upholding justice, and he bowed his hands to Su Wenqing and his son.
"My mother was feeling unwell today, so I thought about going up the mountain to collect some herbs. When I came back, I walked to the river and saw fish, so I went into the water and caught two more. As soon as I got ashore, I found Uncle Qin coming towards me."
The young man glanced at Qin Da, with some lingering fear on his face.
He took a deep breath and continued: "I am grateful for how much Uncle Qin has taken care of my family, so I gave one of them to him as a repayment."
"My child is a good child, but his family is in trouble. Did he get distracted for a moment?" someone sighed.
"Isn't it because there is a woman who takes medicine? She drinks medicine every day to see the doctor, and her family is very poor. Yesterday, I heard that the medicine was gone. I think she has reached a dead end, right?"
Seeing everyone whispering, Qin Da glanced at the woman hugging Zhu San, with greed flashing in his eyes.
The woman felt remorseful, but she could only hold her son in her arms and cry.
"It's my mother who has dragged you down!" The woman's eyes were filled with reluctance as she looked at her son.
"Mom, don't say that. You have taught your son from a young age not to be jealous of other people's things. If your son has never done it, he has never done it. Even if he meets an official, his son will say the same thing."
The next words shocked everyone, but Su Yizhao looked calm.
Qin Da sells rouge and gouache. Every day he either holds a stall at the foot of the mountain, or goes to the village to work as a salesman.
"I wanted to rush back immediately, but Uncle Qin said he was going here to sell rouge. He also said that the load was heavy today and asked me to help him carry something. I didn't even have time to change my clothes, so I helped him get the basket and we came together.
Already."
At this point, the young man suddenly became excited.
"But as soon as he put down his burden, Uncle Qin said that I had stolen his money bag."
Zhu San pointed to the basket on the ground and said: "There are also my herbs and fish in the basket. I didn't lie."
"Zhu San, I was considerate of your young age and having to take care of your family, and I didn't want to argue with you. But I see that you are so unrepentant, and I'm afraid that you will cause big trouble in the future."
Qin Da bowed his hands to everyone and said, "I was carrying a load and was about to come over when Zhu San said he wanted to help me get the basket. It was difficult to refuse such kindness, so I let him do it. Who would have thought that he would steal the money bag while I was not paying attention.
"
"Are you saying that after he finished catching the fish, he stole your money bag on the way to the foot of the mountain to help you carry the basket?"
Su Yizhao's words made Qin Da silent for a moment, and then said: "I don't know, maybe! Anyway, after we got here, I realized that the money bag was gone."
"Then how did you know that Zhu San had taken the money bag? Where did you put the money bag at that time?"
When Su Yizhao, a child, said this, everyone was naturally dissatisfied.
But Su Wenqing behind him looked like he belonged to a wealthy family. Without revealing his identity, it was still possible to bluff people.
Qin Da rolled his eyes, "The money bag was placed in the basket, and the basket happened to be held by Zhu San! I made sure to put it in the basket before I came."
Su Yizhao stepped forward and lifted the broken bamboo lid of the basket, "There are only two fish and some herbs in it. Since you know you are going to put the fish, why don't you put the money bag in another place?"
"You are a salesman, hawking in the village, and you need to find copper coins from time to time. How can you safely put the money in a small basket beside you?"
Su Yizhao glanced at the money bag in Qin Da's hand. The money bag looked quite heavy. There should be a lot of copper coins in it.
"That's right! It's not easy to do some business. Who doesn't keep his money bag with him?"
Uncle Zhong suddenly realized that they all put them in their sleeves or in their arms, and some gentlemen also hung them on their waists. Who wouldn't put a money bag on their body?
After saying this, everyone came to their senses and began to agree.
"Oh! Maybe I remembered it wrong. Maybe I put it on my body at that time? But this money bag was indeed found from Zhu San's body."
Qin Da slapped his forehead and then defended.
"For ordinary people, when their money bag disappears, the first thing they think of is that it is lost. They will only go back to look for it along the way. How can they be the first to suspect others of stealing it?" Su Yizhao snorted coldly.
