The next day, Yuan Fang and the others were still guarding the door of the pawn shop, but their thoughts were no longer here. If Wan Jin gave him a year's wages, none of them would work anymore, because the boss Wan Jin They think it is not worth working for such a person because they are unkind in their dealings.
At this moment, Wan Jin came out of the inner hall, carrying a large bag of coins on his shoulders. Every step he took made a metallic clanking sound. He realized that this sound should not be heard by others, especially by thieves. At this point, he poured out all the coins in the bag at the counter of the pawn shop. When he hit the ground, there was a crisp sound of jingling. The coins were in a string, and they would ring as soon as they touched each other. If he was walking on the street, this would sound like a clang. This kind of noise would cause him to panic, so now he took out several pieces of cloth from the cabinet and wrapped them between the strings of coins, and then put them into a thick cloth bag. No matter how the ground shook, they did not make any sensitive sound. These situations were actually seen by two security guards. Yuan Fangxin thought that if he could get some of them, he would be able to collect the 5,000 shilling money as the bride price.
When Wan Jin was highly focused on counting and wrapping the coins, Yuan Fang whispered what he was thinking to the big man with a long face. The big man with a long face only nodded, and occasionally whispered: That guy Wan Jin is so cruel, the pawn shop There was so much money there, but he just found an excuse not to fulfill his promise of bonus. I wished I could rob him of his bag of coins.
Yuan Fang agreed with a smile and said: "It's just that there is no chance of robbery. If there is, I will count it as a share."
The big man with a long face gently patted Yuan Fang on the shoulder and whispered: You can create opportunities.
Then, Yuan Fang leaned close to the big man's long face and listened to what he said with his breath. Yuan Fang nodded straightly. They dispersed again, guarding the door like two door gods. Seeing Wan Jin carrying a bag of money and getting ready to leave, the big man said with a long face: "I'm afraid it's not safe for Boss Wan to bring the coins to the bank for deposit. It's better for the two of us to take you to the bank."
Wan Jin was startled and looked at what he was about to say. The big man with a long face added: Two days ago, Boss Wu from the West Street Pharmacy was robbed of 10,000 coins by a group of robbers and was also injured. So far, the government patrol has not found his whereabouts. Wan Jin originally wanted to make a deposit alone, but after hearing this, he felt a little timid. He tightened the pocket of his wallet and said with a pair of mung eyes: For safety reasons, you two should escort me to the bank.
Protecting the pawn shop is to protect the funds, and protecting the funds is to protect you. Doing these tasks is our duty. The big man with a long face comforted Wanjin with clichés.
At this time, Wan Jin walked out of the pawn shop carrying a bag of money. The two of them followed behind and walked around the northern end of the prosperous town. At the other end of the row of green camphor trees was the bank's house, with a clear green mouth in the middle. Deep pool. Yuan Fang suddenly turned around and whispered to the big man with a long face: Dewey, where should we start? It'll be too late if it's not quick. Dewey nodded quickly, pointing to the deep pool that was about to appear.
As he approached the mouth of the pond, Wan Jin suddenly turned around and stopped walking, as if he had realized something. Dewey immediately took action and punched him in the face. The gold-rimmed glasses fell to the ground and fell apart. Before Wan Jin could recover, Dewey grabbed his throat with his other hand and pushed him into the pool. Shouting. The elf of Wanjin Yi did not expect that his two security guards would attack him. Even though he was pinched so hard that he could not speak, his nostrils began to bleed, and there were forced smile lines on his face, and he struggled to say "oh" He made some sense, that is to say, he was sorry for them both, and begged them to let him go. It's too late now, and Dewey says he won't believe his lies.
At this moment, Yuan Fang had already planned to snatch the money bag in his hand. He refused to let go. Yuan Fang kicked Wan Jin on the elbow, and his hand grabbed the money bag. release. Afterwards, he thought he was unlucky and knelt down to pretend to beg for mercy. Dewey still held his hand around his throat and looked at him: You are a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken - you have no good intentions. I won't be fooled. Get up and die in the water. Today next year will be your death anniversary.
The dark green deep pool was only one step away. Wan Jin's body was shaking. Dewey winked. Yuan Fang held his struggling hands behind his back and pushed him into the deep pool. Then he grabbed his hair and pushed him into the water. Strings of bubbles began to appear, and then the bubbles became sparse until they disappeared, revealing the original thin ripples, as quiet as nothing happened.
After watching Wan Jin's body sink, Yuan Fang turned his head to look at Dewey. Of course, more importantly, he looked at the bag full of coins that he had snatched from Wan Jin's hand. Giving him a share would be enough to collect the wedding dowry. Yuan Fang, who was immersed in the joy of sharing the spoils, turned his head, but did not see Dewey and the bag full of coins. He was panicked and angry. Why did that bastard Dewey run away? If he didn't run away, he would be able to collect the bride price for Baoquan's family by sharing his share of the money in the bag, but it all came to nothing. Where to find Dewey? His mind went blank. You can't return to the pawn shop. By the way, go to Dewey's house to find it. It is said that his home is in Yuezhou, but he doesn't know the specific address, so he decides to look for it.
Three days later, a body floated out of the deep pool, and someone identified it as Wanjin from the pawn shop. People in the pawn shop had reported three people missing to the government in the past few days, and now the body of one of them has been found. The cause of his death is a mystery to outsiders, and there are even various suspicions: some say that he may have been killed by two people. The security guard was drowned during the robbery; some said that these three people were killed by strongmen. The basis of the analysis is that the security guard in this pawn shop could not possibly murder his boss. But what makes people suspicious is that the government ordered the squires to send several water trucks to drain the water in the deep pool, but the bodies of the two security guards were not found, let alone the cloth bag filled with coins. From this, it can be inferred that It is possible that the two security guards were alive, or that they robbed and then killed the owner. The government thus drew a picture of the two security guards, made hundreds of copies and posted them in downtown areas, offering a large reward to anyone who provided clues.
In the Baojia embroidery building, Bao Quan walked around uneasily. Her right eye kept twitching and she didn't know what was going on. For a period of time, she felt dizzy. It was not a disease, but she was sick. , just thinking about Yuan Fang all the time, maybe this is the state of being lovesick. She had already embroidered the purse that she planned to use as a token, and was just waiting for Yuan Fang to return. She wanted to deliver it to him personally. However, these days, day and night, it was in vain. Yuan Fang had disappeared. Could it be that he was bitten by a mouse? The contract that had become scraps of paper had brought him trouble. Thinking of this, she secretly blamed herself.
A few days later, she felt bored sitting in the embroidery room, so she went out for a walk with her mother and came to a street. She saw many people gathered at the other end of the street, and they all looked surprised. Bao Quan dragged her mother to watch the fun. She squeezed in between the crowds and found two portraits mounted on the wall. She recognized one of them as a portrait of Yuan Fang, which was quite strange. Then she heard someone read the official document next to it. : Two doormen, Dewey and Yuan Fang, at the West Street Pawn Shop at the foot of Wudang Mountain are suspected of seeking money and harming their owner. Now the government is offering a reward for their arrest...
When someone read out this official document, Bao Quan burst into tears and left quietly. Her mother followed her daughter back to Bao's house, and she was also very depressed. Soon I heard that Yuan Fang and Dewey were caught in the law and sentenced to death. Bao Quan was so heartbroken that she cried quietly while holding the purse that had not yet been given to him. She came to the bamboo forest behind the embroidery building and looked at the bamboo that Yuan Fang had broken the last time he came to see her, as if it was coming true. Seeing an ominous sign, she seemed to hate it, and along with it the empty purse she had embroidered with her own hands. This purse could no longer carry her emotional sustenance. She rubbed it in her hands a few times, then lit a fire with tears in her eyes and burned it. , until it becomes a choking blue smoke, curling into the vast sea of clouds.
