After hearing Su Qingluan's words, the woman turned her head and looked over.
The woman looked to be about the same age as Yang, only in her thirties. But there are already slight traces of graying on the forehead.
As for her appearance, although she can be considered Zhou Zheng, with thin eyebrows and eyes, slightly thick diamond-shaped lips, and a rosy and healthy complexion, she is still a bit far from the word "Xi Shi".
Speaking of which, this woman's surname was Xi, and she was a seller of cooking cakes, so everyone jokingly called this "Xi's" lady "Xi Shi".
Seeing that it was Su Qingluan, Chubing Xishi smiled heartily and said, "Hey, is the eldest lady of the Su family back?"
Although she had a smile on her face, the strength of her hands did not slacken at all, which was evident from the reaction of the skinny thief, baring his teeth and shouting to the heavens and the earth.
Su Qingluan seemed to be able to hear the creaking sound of the person's bones in Chuibian Xishi's arms, which made her feel sore in her teeth and tight in her stomach. She couldn't help but add a hint of caution in her voice: "Well, Madam Xi, this A little brother is...?"
"He's an ass brother!" Chubing Xishi spat at the ground, and shouted loudly at the two people who were still struggling, "You two over there, stop fighting! I've caught all of your accomplices. Even if a person’s head is beaten into a dog’s head, he won’t get half a penny!”
Su Qingluan felt that Chuibian Xishi's voice did not come from her mouth, but came from a deeper place - with stronger strength and impact, which almost made her ears buzz. It was different from ordinary people's. The harsh sound of yelling is different.
If there is an expert here, you can hear it clearly: this cooking cake Xishi has some skills in her body, so her "roar" is different from ordinary people pulling their necks and shouting. It is the energy sinking in the Dantian, emitted from the inside out. .
From the perspective of a layman like Su Qingluan, although he doesn't understand the secret, he can still hear the difference from ordinary people.
This voice was so penetrating that even the two people struggling among the noisy crowd heard it. Both of their movements were frozen, but how could they admit it? So he continued to push and push, saying things like "Why should you wrongly accuse a good person?", but the posture became weaker.
Although Su Qingluan has never been in the martial arts world, he has seen a lot of various deceptions and theft gangs' crime patterns in modern legal education programs. This time, the gang that "made claims in the east and attacked in the west" committed the crime. It was not like she had never heard of similar cases.
So she seemed to say casually: "Ms. Xi, I heard that ordinary people will be rewarded if they catch a thief and bring it to the government. Let's hand over the pickpocket in our hands to the county magistrate and let him torture him. I don't believe it and can't find out the accomplices."
Su Qingluan naturally knew how ordinary people could ask the county magistrate to use torture - let alone lynching - but she felt that based on the level of "popularization of legal knowledge" in this era, one or two street gangsters should not know This kind of thing.
Sure enough, when she heard that she was going to be sent to see an official and to be tortured, the pickpocket in Madam Xi's hands was so frightened that her legs weakened and she trembled into a ball. She hurriedly confessed that the two fighting people were accomplices—— There were even two lookouts!
Naturally, this bunch of thieves were brought back to the county government by the patrolling policemen. At this time, Chuibian Xishi weighed the stolen silver from the Su family and patted it into Su Qingluan's hand: "You Let’s count quickly, is there anything missing?”
Yang and Su Guangfu also realized that they had been tricked and quickly stepped forward to thank Madam Xi.
The skinny monkey who had been watching the fun couldn't help but joked: "This cooking cake Xi Shi is so amazing, she can restrain the pickpocket in two or three strokes and make him unable to move! Now at home, even the gentlemen must be scared Can’t you straighten your back?”
Speaking of Shouhou'er, although he is a good person, sometimes he doesn't have much to say, so he often "trouble comes from his mouth", such as now -
"Eeeeeee——!! It hurts!"
Mrs. Xi stretched out her arm, stretched out her thumb and index finger very smartly and quickly - then pinched the skinny monkey's thin cheek skin that was almost sunken, pulled it outward, and then backhanded her As soon as he twisted it, the thin monkey began to grin and beg his grandfather to sue his grandma.
However, Mrs. Xi didn't know how she used her strength, so that although the thin monkey kept struggling, she couldn't break free and could only suffer from the "grin" all her life.
"Brother Shouhou'er, why do you need to do this?" Su Qingluan couldn't laugh or cry, "Ms. Xi saved my family from bankruptcy because of her righteousness. Why do you say something so unpleasant to me?"
This is great. He has made a habit of being mean-mouthed, so he has hit the wall.
"I'm wrong, I'm wrong!!" The thin monkey complained in his heart, saying in his heart, "I'm wrong!" But he still had to apologize vaguely, otherwise he felt like his mouth would be ripped open.
Su Guangfu and Yang also came over to persuade. One moment they said that it was outrageous for the thin monkey to have no color in his mouth, and the next moment they begged Madam Xi not to tear her mouth apart.
Aunt Yang originally stood aside, arranging fabrics and watching the thin monkey making jokes. Later, she saw that he was really pinched and felt a little pitiful, so she couldn't help but stepped forward to offer a few words of help.
After going back and forth, Mrs. Xi sneered: "Today, for the sake of the enthusiastic neighbors, I will not care about your nonsense! If I still listen to you talking here tomorrow, be careful, I will tear your mouth off." Mouth!"
The lady Xi who said this raised her eyebrows, and her slender eyes that originally looked very kind-hearted opened wide, and her eyes were as bright as lightning, which made the thin monkey feel guilty.
"I don't dare! I don't dare!" Rubbing his burning cheeks, Skinny Monkey apologized solemnly, "Boy, if I had ten or eight courages, I wouldn't dare to accuse you of cooking cakes and beauties!"
Hey, this lady doesn't look like much, but the strength in her hands is really scary - Skinny Monkey muttered secretly in his heart.
The three members of the Su family turned around and hurriedly thanked the lady at the table. After all, if that group of people really succeeded, the Su family's hard work would have been in vain for half a month. Especially the slender pickpocket, who almost took away a fifty-tael silver ingot. Su Qingluan felt very sick when she thought of losing the money! !
Mrs. Yang enthusiastically scooped up three spoonfuls of the sesame soup and handed it to Mrs. Xi: "There is nothing new in my small business. If you don't mind, why don't you give it a try?"
Although Mrs. Xi buys cooking cakes diagonally across from the Su's stall, which is only a few dozen steps away, she has never come here to taste the sewer soup from the Su's stall.
It's not that she doesn't want to come over occasionally to try new things, but it's because she has to be busy for a while to set up the stall in the morning. If she waits until she has some free time, the soup in the Su family's stall will have bottomed out.
What's more, due to her own personal reasons, Mrs. Xi was reluctant to buy and drink even the sewer soup for a few cents.
Originally she wanted to refuse, but the spicy and fragrant smell of the sewer soup was too much to bear, so she unconsciously took the bowl.
