Huang Ming and Wei Cai each said their own reasons, and no third party could prove which of them was true and who was false.
Elder Fan Cheng deduced based on common sense that Huang Ming stole the money.
Long Chen felt that there was no evidence for what the merchant Wei Cai said. He said that there would be as much money as there was in the baggage, so why not say that there were ten thousand taels of gold in the baggage?
But no one can prove that what Wei Cai said is false.
"I'm going down the mountain."
Long Chen whispered something, and Qi Wenhai said: "I'll go with you."
Long Chen shook his head slightly and said, "No, you just wait."
Long Chen quietly withdrew from the crowd and quickly reached the foot of the mountain.
Qingshan City is not small, but Huang Ming is quite famous there because his wife is very beautiful.
"Brother, where is the tofu seller Huang Ming?"
Long Chen asked casually, and the old man pointed to a shop in the distance and said, "The Tofu Xishi Huang Ming is right there. His wife is very beautiful, and her skin is more tender than tofu."
When he said this, the old man's mouth was almost watering.
As expected, perverts become more and more perverted regardless of age.
Long Chen was thinking, will he be like him when he gets old?
No, I won’t drool thinking about other people’s wives when I get old.
Long Chen walked to Huang Ming's tofu shop. Some tender tofu was placed there, but no one was guarding it.
Long Chen walked in and faintly heard the sound of a woman crying.
"I told you not to be greedy. You shouldn't have picked up that baggage in the first place."
"Hey, I was also attracted by it for a while."
"Now that I think about it, I might as well just accept that burden."
"It's because of your greed that you are in trouble today."
"It's useless to say it now. The elder ordered me to return 80 taels, so I can only return it."
The woman sobbed: "Half my life's savings are just gone..."
Huang Ming sighed again...
Long Chen pushed the door. The door was unlocked and opened as soon as he pushed it.
Seeing Long Chen come in, Huang Ming immediately stood up and asked: "Who are you and why did you break into my house?" www.八一zw.????m
The woman immediately hid behind Huang Ming and looked at Long Chen in horror.
Long Chen chuckled and said, "Don't panic, I was just passing by. I just heard about your story on the mountain, so I came here to give you a tip."
Seeing that Long Chen had no ill intentions and wanted to help him, Huang Ming asked dubiously: "Why do you want to help me?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "I'm not helping you, I just want to know the truth."
"Tell me the truth, did you steal any money?"
Huang Ming sighed slightly and said: "To tell you the truth, when I picked up the baggage, I pinched it and found that there was something in it, so I was greedy and took it home."
"After my wife found out, she advised me not to take the ill-gotten gains and asked me to send them back."
"I returned the baggage, but who knew I happened to meet that person? I returned the baggage, but he falsely accused me of stealing money. It's really... ugh..."
The woman behind him came out and said, "If this righteous man can do anything to redress our injustice, we will definitely thank him."
Huang Ming's wife is average-looking, but her skin is as good as water tofu.
One whiteness covers all ugliness, one fatness destroys everything.
Sure enough, all fair and tender women are beautiful.
"That's easy to say, you just do as I say."
Long Chen gave instructions for a while...
In the courtyard on the mountain.
When Long Chen returned behind Qi Wenhai, Zou Cailiang asked: "Where did your brother go just now?"
Long Chen shook his head and smiled, and said: "Wait and see the good show."
Then he said to Guan Yue: "You go and do something..."
After hearing this, Guan Yue immediately turned around and left the yard.
Soon, Huang Ming and his wife Doufu Xishi came up, holding a box in their hands.
Seeing the tofu beauty, the elder Fan Cheng's eyes glowed green and he stared at the woman lustfully.
"Elder, according to your order, I brought 80 taels of silver, but I was really wronged."
Huang Ming held the silver and cried loudly, while Tofu Xishi sobbed and cried.
Elder Fan Cheng snorted coldly: "What do you mean? Could it be that I made a wrong judgment?"
Everyone onlookers went to see Huang Ming's wife and no longer cared about the merits of the matter.
"Tofu Xishi's skin is so tender."
"My yellow-faced woman is not even one ten thousandth as good as her."
"When I eat her tofu, I think about her."
Businessman Wei Cai said angrily: "Fortunately, the elder has a keen eye. If it were any other official, he would have been deceived by you."
"Thank you, elder, for seeking justice for me. I am willing to donate 40 taels of silver to the Qingshan Sect."
Elder Fan Cheng said happily: "You are considered sensible."
Businessman Wei Cai stepped forward to take the silver. Long Chen came out and said, "Wait a minute!"
The matter was already settled, but Long Chen suddenly walked out, and everyone looked at Long Chen in confusion.
Elder Fan Cheng was even more displeased and asked: "Who are you?"
Long Chen said with a smile: "I am a business traveler passing by. I just listened to the confessions from both sides and feel that there is something fishy about the matter."
Businessman Wei Cai angrily rebuked: "The elder has already made a judgment. Do you mean that the elder made a mistake?"
Wei Cai was very smart and knew that the biggest honor guard here was the Qingshan Sect, so he brought the matter to the elder Fan Cheng.
Long Chen ignored the wrong question and said to Wei Cai: "Brother, are you sure you lost 80 taels of silver?"
Wei Cai said displeased: "Nonsense, of course I know my money!"
Long Chen nodded and said: "Okay, show him the money and see if it belongs to him."
Huang Ming was reluctant to part with it, but Wei Cai snatched the box away, opened it in front of everyone, checked the weight, and said happily: "Elder, this silver is what I lost."
Elder Fan Cheng glared at Huang Ming and cursed angrily: "How dare you deny it!"
Huang Ming said aggrievedly: "My wife and I saved this through frugality. It was really not stolen."
No matter what Huang Ming said, Wei Cai laughed and wanted to put the money away, but the elder Fan Cheng kept winking at Wei Cai.
Wei Cai just promised to donate forty taels, but the money has not yet been donated.
Long Chen stopped Wei Cai and asked, "Are you sure this silver is yours?"
Wei Cai frowned and said coldly: "Of course it's mine!"
Long Chen said loudly: "You can see clearly!"
Wei Cai said angrily: "I can see clearly!"
When Elder Fan Cheng saw Long Chen being so messy, he came over displeased and said, "Don't be so messy. If you do this again, I will kick you out of the mountain gate!"
Long Chen ignored Fan Cheng and shouted sharply: "Take it down!"
Qi Wenhai didn't know what was going on, but after hearing the order, he immediately rushed out and pushed Wei Cai to the ground.
Everyone was shocked and didn't know what happened.
Fan Cheng was also startled and asked: "Who are you? How dare you act wild at Qingshan Gate!"
Long Chen took out a silver ingot from the box and sneered: "Look clearly, the stamp on the bottom of this silver ingot is Anmu Governor's Mansion!"
"A few days ago, the bank of the governor's office in Anmu City was stolen. We traced it to this point, and it turns out that you are the thief!"
After the official silver is made into silver ingots, there will be a stamp to indicate where the silver came from.
The ingot of silver that Long Chen used was taken from Zou Cailiang.
According to Long Chen's habit, he usually uses gold coins. Because gold coins are light in weight and high in value, you can bring less of them.
But Zou Cailiang said this was too eye-catching and asked Long Chen to use the silver, so he got the silver ingot from Anmu Governor's Mansion.
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked and exclaimed:
"This guy is actually a big thief?"
"You dare to steal the governor's money, how brave you are!"
