And he just said that if he was caught, he would be punished by the Nine Clan.
How can I, a kind-hearted future musician, agree with this inhumane law? I firmly oppose it!
So I changed my tone: "Brother, officer and soldier, I saw a lot of boys, but I didn't see any of them running around the streets wearing straw hats!"
After saying that, he put on an expression and tried to show his sincerity.
"Yeah?"
The leader of the officers and soldiers looked at me dubiously, then touched his chin and said, "But, I clearly saw him running here when I was chasing him. How could he disappear? Tell me!"
"You, you ask me, how do I know, or you ask the boss."
I turned my eyes and turned to the bookstall owner, assigning the problem to him!
There's nothing you can do about it, even though it's very risky!
The boss just now trembled all over when he saw the officers and soldiers. He must be a coward.
But in order to avoid getting into trouble, he should go along with what I say!
"Tell me, have you seen the boy wearing a hat on his head? He is the most wanted criminal in the city, Hua Wuxie!
He also said that his master was a disciple of Gui Guzi, a worldly expert who was very good at horoscope divination. He deceived our General Yuan with his smooth words. As a result, our Ming army lost troops and generals, so he ran away...
Now the general suspects that he is a spy who has sneaked in from the Qing army and vows to capture him!"
The officers and soldiers looked at the bookstall owner fiercely, as if they were threatening to force him to confess.
"I, I, I really didn't see it, just like this girl said, I didn't see it!"
Cold sweat broke out on the boss's forehead, and he tremblingly said to the leader of the officers and soldiers. He also looked at me secretly, blaming me, a bad-hearted girl, for dragging him into the water! I gave him a helpless look!
"Maybe it went to the other side. Isn't there a fork up there?"
I had an idea and pointed out a random place to the officer and soldier, "I've been picking out books here and didn't pay attention to them! But since I can't see anyone passing by, the fugitive must have gone there..."
"Really?" The officer and soldier touched their chins again, frowning angrily!
"Should...yes!"
With Yuan Ziyi's intelligence and my ability to calm myself down, it is not a difficult task to send these officers and soldiers away!
