Happy Little Scholar

Chapter 123: Are you interested in being a detective?

Although the woman's voice was clear and pleasant, it was obviously not what the young man liked to hear. Tian'lai Xiao'shuo

"Who said that? When the constable is talking, do you have the right to interrupt?" The young man turned his head with dissatisfaction and looked outside the crowd, in the direction where the voice came from.

The light blue constable uniform the woman wore was slightly different from that of other constables. At this moment, she was standing outside the crowd, with her arms around her chest, a saber on her waist, and her eyes looking over here indifferently.

The scene he saw when he turned around obviously made the young man a little confused, but at this time, the kick from the middle-aged constable had already come over.

"Shut up!"

The middle-aged constable kicked the young man and made him stagger. When he raised his head, his face was full of flattering smiles. He walked up to the young woman and asked, "Boss, why are you here?"

The young man was kicked for no reason and was a little confused. He didn't understand what the middle-aged constable was doing. He took the shopkeeper of Ruyifang back to the county government office, but the county lieutenant had personally explained that he was just a small constable. Didn't he even listen to the county lieutenant's words?

Of course, he didn't know that the middle-aged constable knew better than anyone else that this young lady was someone who even the county magistrate dared to point at and scold. Even if she was scolded, the county magistrate didn't even dare to fart afterwards. Compared with the county lieutenant, it was obvious that this young lady who hated evil and couldn't tolerate any sand in her eyes was more difficult to mess with!

"Ask whatever you want to ask." The woman ignored the middle-aged constable, glanced at Li Yi, and said lightly.

"Thank you, Captain!"

Li Yi bowed to her, thinking that the girl from the old Li family was reasonable. He turned to look at the young man with a swollen pig head and asked, "You said that your current pig head is caused by using the Ruyi Dew in our store?"

"Pig head..." The young man didn't expect that the scholar had just opened his mouth and stabbed him in the heart. He almost couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood and said with gritted teeth, "That's right!"

"Do you remember when you bought it?" Li Yi asked again.

"Three days ago." The young man answered without hesitation.

He secretly rejoiced that he had done enough homework before coming here, so he was not stumped by the scholar's question at this time.

"Did you buy it directly or with an order?"

"Buy it directly."

"How much did Ruyi Lu cost at that time?"

"One bottle is one tael of silver."

"Who did you buy it from that day?"

"You gave it to me personally!"

"Do you remember the time?"

"Around the hour of Si."

"How much silver did the person who ordered you to give today?"

"Ten taels."

Li Yi asked questions faster and faster. The young man was well prepared and answered fluently. He could speak subconsciously. He secretly mocked himself in his heart. As early as yesterday, he started to make these preparations and had practiced countless times. There would be no mistakes.

Even if the scholar asked ten or eight more questions, he would not make any mistakes.

Seeing that the scholar suddenly stopped talking, the young man pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth. Ha, finally gave up...

Turning his head, he realized that he didn't know when the crowd around him had quieted down.

The eyes of many passers-by who were watching him began to become a little strange when they looked at him.

The middle-aged constable looked up at the sky, as if there was something in the sky that attracted him.

The young man who instructed him to do these things twitched his mouth twice, and his face was pale.

He thought he had considered all aspects, but he never expected that... he found such a stupid teammate!

Seeing the strange behavior of the crowd, the young man was very surprised. What happened to everyone?

"Captain, I have finished my questions." Li Yi bowed to the woman again, and then stood quietly aside.

Li Mingzhu turned his head to look at him, and the indifference in his eyes faded, and finally a hint of strangeness emerged.

He recalled the process of his cleverly solving the silver dispute case last time, and the questioning method that used only a few words to get the truth from the man's mouth...

This scholar is really capable...

"Haha!"

At this time, the crowd couldn't help laughing.

"This guy is too stupid, he confessed so easily!"

"So he was instructed by someone to frame someone else."

"This young man is really smart, and he told the truth in just a few words."

Now, the truth has been revealed, and the matter is out of the control of the young man and the middle-aged constable. At the young woman's signal, the other constables rushed forward and arrested the young man and the young man with a swollen head.

In the crowd, several figures changed their faces and quietly retreated.

Even though the middle-aged constable received the order from the county lieutenant, he didn't dare to do anything at this time. Not to mention that there were so many people watching around, even if his boss was present, he could only act impartially.

When he turned his head to look at Li Yi, Lao Fang and others, his face immediately changed to a smile, and said: "I'm so sorry, I almost fell into the evil plan of these two villains, and let you be wronged."

Knowing that the constable was not sincere, Li Yi did not expose it. He also clasped his fists and said a few polite words, watching these constables escort the two away.

"Are you interested in being a constable?" The young woman asked Li Yi with interest, crossing her arms.

Although there is no shortage of constables in the government office, most of them are good-for-nothings, and there is a lack of people with such a quick mind.

If there is such a smart person under his command, I don’t know how much trouble will be saved when investigating a case.

"Be a constable?" Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head repeatedly.

Although being a constable sounds impressive, the status of a constable is not high. It can only be regarded as a temporary worker, and the nature of the job is very dangerous. He is not like the woman in front of him. As a royal noble, she is actually interested in being a head of a constable in a small county government office. I don’t know if those people above are crazy...

Of course, Li Yi is not curious about whether this princess or princess is playing around or going deep into the grassroots to understand the people's sentiments. Anyway, he has no interest in being a head of a constable.

"Are you the shopkeeper of Ruyifang?" Seeing Li Yi's refusal, the woman's face showed no disappointment. She turned her head and looked at the sign of Ruyifang, threw a piece of silver and said, "I've heard about your Ruyilu for a long time. I happened to pass by today. Please bring me a bottle."

"Sorry, today's Ruyilu is sold out." Li Yi regretted giving all the stock to Li Xuan just now. He threw the silver back and said, "No need for silver. Come and get it when the chief constable patrols the streets tomorrow."

Although Li Yi is not a generous person, he has a clear sense of gratitude and resentment. If she hadn't given him a chance just now, today's matter might be a little troublesome. It's really embarrassing to accept her money for a bottle of Ruyilu.

"Okay, I'll come again tomorrow."

The woman was not polite. After taking back the silver, she waved her hand, said lightly, turned around and disappeared on the street.

Li Yi looked at the direction she left, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Just this morning, someone tried to force me to buy the formula for Ruyi Lu. Now these two are looking for trouble. They are obviously colluding with the middle-aged constable. It seems that more and more people are eyeing Ruyi Lu...
