"Maybe it was really King Donghuang who did it." Yu Sheng then said to his aunt.
As a king who valued wealth as much as his life, money was like the word "ugly" to King Donghuang, and it was the absolute opposite to King Nanhuang.
There are not many people in the world who dare to steal the money from King Nanhuang. After thinking about it, Yu Sheng feels that his mother, King Donghuang, is the most likely.
"No." Aunt Qing denied.
Looking at Yu Sheng's doubtful eyes, my aunt said: "If your mother takes action, it will be the Donghuang treasure house that will be robbed, not that little money."
The treasure house is a place built by the King of Nanhuang to store copper coins and treasures in various places in the wilderness to facilitate the operation of banks.
These treasure houses are a city of their own, guarded by the masters of the Nanhuang King, and can be regarded as a neutral force.
Yu Sheng thought the same thing, "That would be even weirder. I really want to know who dares to steal the money from King Nanhuang."
While they were chatting in the car, Maomao pulled the car out of East Street, crossed the bustling square, and drove towards the city lord's palace.
"Winter bamboo shoots, fresh winter bamboo shoots." Among the cries of many vendors, Yu Sheng was attracted by the cries of one person.
This is the voice of the Scarface brothers. They have been unemployed since Taotie's corpse was placed in front of the town and no one needed to guard it.
The Yusheng Inn was not yet expanded, so in order to survive, Scarface led his brothers to sell winter bamboo shoots while helping out.
There are a lot of winter bamboo shoots in the inn, and Guai Zai has been taking care of them since I came back. I haven't done anything like that in the rest of my life.
He called Maomao to stop, opened the curtain, and saw Scarface and Skinny Monkey standing in front of a car full of winter bamboo shoots.
Yu Sheng jumped out of the car and squeezed forward, "Give me some of the winter bamboo shoots you picked up."
Scarface looked up and saw Yu Sheng, and said happily: "Uncle Master?!" He hurriedly asked his bald men to pick up the winter bamboo shoots and pack them up.
"If I don't tell you the truth, why are you still calling me uncle?" Yu Sheng said.
"Once you are a master uncle, you will always be a master uncle." There was intelligence in the scarred face's eyes.
The bald man picked up so much that he couldn't put his hands down. Just as he was about to turn around, a little beggar bumped into him.
Suddenly, the bamboo shoots in the basket fell to the ground.
"Hey", before the bald man could react, he saw the little beggar skillfully holding the winter bamboo shoots in his arms and quickly got into the crowd.
"You are so stupid, this is already the third time." Scarface said displeasedly.
"It's not my fault." The bald man argued and picked up another basket of winter bamboo shoots in the car and handed it to Yu Sheng.
"This little beggar comes to rob you every day?" Yu Sheng asked after taking over.
"No, this is already the third robbery today..." The upright bald man didn't finish his sentence before Scarface kicked him back.
They will still hang out in the inn in the future. Doesn’t this make shopkeeper Yu doubt their abilities?
Yu Sheng didn't think of going there for a while, but he was surprised and said: "Being robbed by beggars three times a day?"
It was just before noon.
"Hehe", the bald man touched his bright forehead, "Actually, we quite hope to be robbed by beggars, because we are good enough to be robbed."
Scarface felt that this was a good excuse and hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, there is an unwritten rule in this market. Anyone who is robbed by a beggar will definitely have good business."
Yu Sheng looked at Scarface strangely. Is this a fool?
However, this was indeed the case. An unknown lady nearby shouted, "Beggars robbed this house," and a group of ladies immediately swarmed over.
Yu Sheng carried the basket and got out with great difficulty. As he walked towards the donkey cart, he did not forget to express his feelings for his aunt's fighting power.
As for the money, Yu Sheng certainly didn't pay it. Scarface and his group ate and drank in the inn and owed him more.
After returning to the car, he put the basket in the car and let Maomao continue on his way. At the same time, Yu Sheng talked about the strange rules at the market.
Helping Yu Sheng tidy up his crowded clothes, his aunt said: "I know this rule, many vendors hope to be robbed by beggars.
"Why?" Yu Sheng wondered.
"Because of a beggar."
A beggar? I know him for the rest of my life, one of the four great chefs in Yangzhou, who is good at cooking beggars’ meals.
But what does this have to do with the vendors’ business?
My aunt obviously didn't want to talk about it, so she changed the subject, "I haven't seen you cook winter bamboo shoots yet. What are you going to cook?"
Yu Sheng glanced at the basket and said, "Two appetizers, just right to accompany the old wine."
Just as the donkey cart was about to leave the market, a stall owner suddenly shouted: "I was robbed, I was robbed."
He was so happy that he shouted loudly.
Yu Sheng opened the curtain and looked around, and saw the stall owner in front of the car. Maomao was picking up a white radish from the stall. The stall owner was flushed with joy.
This made Yu Sheng very confused. Should he apologize or congratulate Maomao for his behavior?
Jin Yiwei also came out at this time, and he was still an old acquaintance. Tian Shi held the handle of the knife, "Who, who was robbed?"
Seeing Yu Sheng, Maomao, Bailuobo and the stall owner, Tian Shi silently released the handle of the knife and said, "If you rob, you will be robbed."
"No, it's not Maomao." The stall owner waved his hand excitedly and pointed into the distance, "I was robbed by a little beggar."
"Congratulations then." Tian Shi cupped his hands, yawned and walked lazily towards Yu Sheng.
"Shopkeeper Yu, why did you enter the city?"
He paused in the middle, as if to gather the energy to speak again, "I also said I would take time to see you."
"Looking at how lazy you are, you are free every year." Yu Sheng saw that his bones could no longer hold him up and he was swaying while standing.
"It's true." Tian Shi laughed weakly.
"It's been hard to get up recently because of the cold weather. I've been caught several times in the morning and my rest time for the next month has been forfeited."
He calculated on his fingers and said, "It will be early summer when I have time to see you."
Yu Sheng was startled, "Isn't it gone next month? Why is it early summer?"
Tian Shi raised his eyebrows, "You have to save some time for being punished again."
Yu Sheng thought he had finished speaking, and just when he was about to speak, Tian Shi continued: "A beautiful person and a lazy person should not be let down, you know."
Yu Sheng understands this, but what’s with your proud and enjoying tone?
"I understand." My aunt, who had been silent in the carriage, spoke up.
When Yu Sheng saw Tian Shiyi trembling, his whole body seemed to have a backbone and he became energetic.
He looked at Yu Sheng with eyes that spoke for itself: Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Yu Sheng gave him a wish-for-blessing look and began to take pleasure in his misfortune.
Aunt Qing opened the curtain and Tian Shi said respectfully: "I have met the Lord of the City."
"Name?" Aunt Qing asked coldly.
"Tian Shi." The reply was sonorous and forceful, no longer lazy as before.
"Get up early tomorrow and guard the city gate to cure your laziness." The aunt said with a straight face, seeing the majesty of the city lord for the first time in her life.
"Yes." Tian Shi respectfully bowed his hands in response, but his heart was bleeding. He got up early to guard the city gate and stayed late at night. He was too lazy to sleep.
Guarding the city gate? Yu Sheng suddenly smiled, "Little aunt, as the saying goes, it is the fault of a son not to teach his father..."
Tian Shi raised his head in surprise, what do you mean, he asked his father to follow him to guard the city gate?
"My subordinates are lazy, and the commander has nothing to do with it." I will not look at Tian Shi for the rest of my life.
"I think Zhou Jiufeng also needs to be punished. Let her follow him and guard the city gate for ten days. Forget it, let's go for five days." Yu Sheng said.
I knew that I would play tricks on Zhou Jiufeng for the rest of my life, but my aunt felt that it was reasonable and her rule was not strict, so she should let Zhou Jiufeng guard the city gate to have a long memory.
So Aunt Qing nodded, "That's right."
As for Yu Sheng's plea for Tian Shi, Aunt Qing Quan pretended that she didn't know and just went along with it.
Who makes my nephew so smart?
Tian Shi was also impressed by Yu Sheng's cleverness. The word "ye" was used so wonderfully.
Originally, he was punished to guard the city gate and might never come back, but now "he will also guard the city gate for ten days", so he can only go for ten days.
Both of them understood it. Only the master who said this was still immersed in the joy of teasing Zhou Jiufeng.
