Goldfield
Chapter 108: Thunder

“My brother and I brought a total of one hundred and seventy copper coins to our older brother. If there is an extra copper coin, then it will be yours! ” Xiaocao is confident in the number of coins in that rope. Her sister is very frugal. If nothing matters, then he won't touch the money.

Shopkeeper Zhang spread a strand of coins in his palm. He silently counted the number of coins in his mind. Sure enough, there was a total of one hundred and seventy copper coins, no more or less one coin. Originally, he was drunk and did not hold back his strength while defeating Yu Hang. Yu Hang fell unconscious after spitting out blood from the beating. After Yu Hang fell unconscious, he found this money after ransacking Yu Hang's room. Today, the Yu Hang family came here to get an explanation from him, so he hurriedly took out the money as an excuse.

The crowd around them saw Shopkeeper Zhang's expression slightly change. The people closer to him could clearly see the thread used to hold the copper coins together as Xiaocao said, the colorful embroidered thread. The hearts of the crowd once again leaned towards Xiaocao's support.

But Shopkeeper Zhang rudely and unreasonably replied, “Huh! You are just a bunch of poor villagers. If you can, you will split the Copper Coin in half. How are you willing to give Yu Hang over a hundred copper coins as an allowance? Little girl, your tongue will be pulled to hell for lying! ”

“ Zhang Shopkeeper, if you accuse others incorrectly, you will be tortured after you die!” Xiaocao's pitch-black eyes looked like the night sky as a ray of cold light flashed across his eyes, making people shudder, “In addition, a ray of cold light flashed across his eyes, making people shudder, In addition, a, we pay one tael of silver each month for the school fees of Rongxuan Academy for my younger brother. Since we can afford it, why aren't we willing to give Yu Hang a hundred trivial copper coins? ”

The crowd had just noticed a short boy wearing a basic grade uniform of Rongxuan Academy. They could not help but feel admiration and respect towards the boy. After all, Rongxuan Academy was not only open to anyone. They had all heard that inside the door of Rongxuan Academy, there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It was said that the people from the houses of the great government officials, dukes, and nobles tried to get into the school!

When the grandson of the prefectural magistrate of Jinwei Prefecture passed the examination and entered the main class, the prefectural magistrate had invited many people to dinner! Well then, isn't this boy the judge's granddaughter's classmate? If he were to report this to the prefectural magistrate, then it would not be good for Shopkeeper Zhang!

Is Rong.... Rongxuan Academy that great? Even if ... the crown prince broke the law, he would bear the same crimes and punishments as an ordinary person. Does that mean just because you are a family of students from Rongxuan Academy, you can steal something? ” The shopkeeper tried to appear fierce because he was a coward at heart. He tried to bluff by making unreasonable excuses.

“Guard Shop Zhang, how can you prove that this little brother is the one who stole the copper coins?” Among the crowd, a handsome young man wearing a scientific white robe, could no longer bear the injustice that he spoke for them. If Xiaocao was to check on the young man, he would recognize him as the grandson of the foodie principal, Yuan Yunxi.

The rat-like eyes of shopkeeper Zhang looked around for a while before he looked at them and said, “But no one can prove that it was not Yu Hang who had stolen this copper coin!”

Yu Xiaocao raised his eyebrows and sneered at him, “Store Guard Zhang if I can prove that he did not steal this copper coin, what are you going to do?”

“It ...” Shopkeeper Zhang frowned and hesitated.

“I get this copper coin by selling boiled food, so there should be a little oil in each copper coin. Can anyone bring me a basin of warm water? ” Yu Xiaocao did not look at Shopkeeper Zhang; his gaze was fixed on the crowd.

The crowd around them suddenly became quiet. They all felt misgivings towards Shopkeeper Zhang, so they all avoided Xiaocao's gaze.

Xiaocao felt a burst of ice-cold wind strike his heart. No matter what the time period was, there were always not enough people who had the courage to stand up and face the forces of evil!

Yuan Yunxi walked out of the crowd into a literature shop not far from here. He pushed his sleeve and filled the large basin with hot water. Yuan Yunxi broke through the crowd again with a basin filled with hot water and said, “Miss Xiaocao, the hot water is here!”

Yu Xiaocao gratefully looked at the handsome young man who had a warm heart. He sincerely thanked the young man and took out a strand of copper coins from the hands of Shopkeeper Zhang, “I will throw this copper coin into the water. If oil comes up, then it will prove that I am not lying. It will also prove that I have indeed given this copper coin to my brother. ”

After he finished speaking, he severed the rope that was holding the coin and threw all the copper coins into the basin filled with warm water. Sure enough, a rainbow-like oil appeared in the warm water. The crowd stared at Shopkeeper Zhang with condemnation and disgust.

Shopkeeper Zhang kept replying, “Only because there is oil on the coin, it does not prove that the coin is yours. Maybe this copper coin was given to me by a butcher! Every day, I would go buy meat and oil, so it was only natural that the copper coins were stained with oil. My assistant has seen Yu Hang wandering around in the account room before. Am I right, Xiaoxing? ”

The person Shopkeeper Zhang referred to as ‘Xiaoxing’ was the shop assistant who would help Xiaocao call Yu Hang whenever he visited. Initially, he stood to the side, watching the scene. But when he was suddenly summoned by the shopkeeper, he started to panic. After the panic explosion, under the shop owner's warning gaze, he said, “Ya, yes ... In the past, I've seen Yu Hang sneaking around the account space … he must have hidden some malicious intent!”

Yu Xiaocao's eyes were as sharp as a knife, his voice was filled with ferocity as he interrogated the shop assistant, “This male sister, you must take responsibility for what you said! Have you seen my brother enter the account room with his own eyes? Have you ever seen my brother steal money from the finance room with his own eyes? Since you haven't done so yet, why are you so sure that my brother has malicious intentions? ”

The shop assistant was young, he only said baseless accusations under the pressure of Shopkeeper Zhang. But he started stuttering and insisted that he was right after Xiaocao's interrogation.

“Shopkeeper Zhang, I heard your business is going well. Recently, I heard that you received a job from an influential official from the capital, is that true? ” Yu Xiaocao suddenly changed the subject.

Zhang Dongming stroked the beard on his chin and proudly said, “Yes! The woodcrafts from our Zhang Ji Carpentry Shop are famous throughout the capital! The man who works for Prince Yang, Sir Fang, has ordered the curtains and beds from our carpentry shop. Huh! It's good for me not to report this boy Yu to the officials for stealing items, so what is the beating counted for? ”

Yu Xiaocao indifferently looked at how Shopkeeper Zhang was intoxicated by his success and said, “Because the business at the Zhang Ji Carpentry Shop is going very well, he said, the amount of money going in and out of the account room should be around several hundred.a thousand copper coins, right? You said that my brother had been stealing for a long time, but instead of stealing more money from the pile of money inside the account room, he had only stolen a hundred copper coins. Is my brother stupid or what? ”

“Uh ..” Shopkeeper Zhang choked on his words. He looked around before he replied, “Your brother is shy, so he is afraid he will get caught if he steals too much. Little girl, stop making excuses and take your sister away. I will be merciful and no longer investigate this matter. ”

“Store Guard Zhang, the gods can see everything. My older brother is not a thief, the gods know this and will do something about it! I, Yu Xiaocao swear to the gods that everything I say is true! I dare to use my life as a guarantee that my older brother will never steal anything! ” Yu Xiaocao only exchanged a few words with the small holy stone in his heart before he swore, “If this copper coin is stolen, my entire family is willing to be struck by lightning. I don't know if Shopkeeper Zhang is willing to make a serious vow like me? ”

Although Shopkeeper Zhang was aware of being guilty, he pretended not to be distracted. He sneered and said, “Oath? This was only considered an eloquent talk, who did not know how to do that? ”

He looked up and pointed to the sky, which was swimming with thick dark clouds. He said in a strange voice, “God, I, Zhang Dongming swear ..”

Rumbles, rumbles…

Zhang Dongming had not even finished speaking when the thunder began to roll up the dark clouds. A bright ray of lightning was faintly seen in the clouds. Shopkeeper Zhang was frightened by this and took a few steps back. At first, his eyes were full of disdain but now full of fear.

That can't be true, can it? He had lived for over 50 years, and if he had not made thousands of vows, then there should have been at least around hundreds, wouldn't he still be living well? Huh! Just a very concerned little girl making an oath. What can oral oaths do? What happened before must have been a coincidence. Today was a cloudy day so it was natural to see thunder!

While Zhang Dongming's heart was rolling around, others did not notice the rays of light that shot out from Yu Xiaocao's wrist and directly into the thick and dark clouds in the sky.

Above the clouds, the Lightning God lazily played the lightning hammer in his hand. The Lightning God had blue skin and a pointed mouth. After he yawned, he finally subconsciously struck the hammer in his hand. After he struck the hammer, thunder immediately began to roll in the sky, enveloping the earth with his muffled voice.

The Lightning Goddess had silver hair that reached the ground and a dazzling figure as if she had just come out of a painting. He directly faced the mirror in his hand, trying to break the acne that had mysteriously appeared on his face.

“Old wife, stop shamelessly showing off your beauty! We need to make more lightning! The Lightning God could not help but remind him of their work. However, the Lightning Goddess actually exploded in anger after hearing his words.

“Who are you calling ‘old wife’? I am charming and beautiful as a flower; beautiful to the point that birds and animals are attracted to my appearance. (Records: after a thousand words later) however you have called me ‘tua’ right in front of me! I thought you were tired of living! ” The Goddess of Lightning raised a hand holding a mirror and a ray of lightning shot out from her hand, heading straight towards the God of Lightning.

The Lightning God easily dodged the lightning as he halfheartedly apologized, “OK, I'm the one to blame. It's my fault for calling you ‘old wife’, you ‘wife gorgeous’, is it okay? We were relegated to this small space where there was almost no spiritual energy. Every day, we hit the hammer, hit the drum, and looked in the mirror. There's no prospect here. When can we return to the ninth gate, where can we serve the Spirit Goddess? I was willing to give up being the Lightning God to serve as a doorman just to return! ”

When the Lightning Goddess heard what the Lightning God said, she became furious. He ruthlessly pinched her and hatefully said, “Isn't this all because of you? You offended the silver wolf that the Spirit Goddess loved the most! Otherwise, why should we be exiled to this cursed place? ”

“How do I know that the beautiful silver wolf is the beloved animal of the Spirit Goddess? Silver wolves are too narrow-minded. I only burned a few strands of her hair, but she had to complain to the Spirit Goddess. ” Lightning God felt so sorry that his intestines became green.

At this moment, a flash of golden light passed by, and a small golden cat the size of a children's fist, appeared in front of the God and Goddess of Lightning and Lightning.

“Where are you criminals? Quickly show yourself! ” The Lightning God stood in front of the Lightning Goddess and pointed the lightning hammer at the little golden cat vigilantly.

“Huh! Little Thunder, you have a lot of courage! You dare to call this Divine Stone as ‘villains!’ Do you not want to return to the Spiritual Room? ” The little golden cat looked at him with disdain as he spoke.
