After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Yu Linlang stared at the man and bit off half of the candied haws. "Why are you looking at me? I didn't take your wallet."

At this time, voices started to rise one after another, "Where's my wallet?"

"Oh, my purse is missing too!"

"What happened? Who stole my money?"

"Go and report to the police! This is really bold in broad daylight."

Yu Linlang quickly reached out and touched the woven bag she was carrying across her body, took out a bulging purse from it and weighed it.

Fortunately, Linlang's bag of about a hundred copper coins is still there.

She casually hung the purse around her waist and patted it.

Some people had already hurried to the Jingzhao Prefecture government office on the next street to report the case, while the remaining few were sweating profusely as they searched around with their heads down.

After pushing and shoving, the crowd gradually dispersed, which made a dwarf who was holding a wooden basin and begging for money very anxious.

He quickly stepped forward and grabbed a gentleman's robe, and shouted in a shrill voice: "Sirs, sirs, you must pay before you leave after watching."

When everyone heard that they had to pay, they ran away even faster.

The man next to Yu Linlang yelled angrily, "How dare you ask for money? You are a bunch of thieves, otherwise why would my money bag disappear?"

"That's right, these guys look weird and strange, and they are obviously not from Beijing. We should just arrest them and send them to the Jingzhao government office. Let the magistrates interrogate them and see if they are the ones who stole the money bag."

Yu Linlang hurriedly took a few steps back to avoid the surging crowd.

The dwarf holding the wooden basin was so angry that his eyes turned red. "Who is the thief? Who stole your purse? We earn our living by performing. Just now you clapped the loudest and laughed the most happily. How come you can't even pay a few copper coins?"

The dwarf walked around the front row, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he simply walked up to Yu Linlang and asked for it.

Yu Linlang got anxious when she saw this. "They looked at it for such a long time without paying. I just squeezed in to take a look and they want me to pay? What's the matter? Do I look like a sucker?"

The guy next to her who had lost his wallet laughed and nodded to help her. "That's right. People only watched it for a few seconds and didn't know what you were acting. You're asking for money. That's too much!"

The dwarf threw the empty wooden basin to the ground and howled, "You are all bullying me! You didn't pay me after the show. Is this how you Beijingers bully outsiders?"

"You, you, stop acting! Get up." The man pointed angrily at the dwarf rolling on the ground, turned around and asked Yu Linlang, "Girl, what do you think we should do..."

But when I turned around, I found that the girl was nowhere to be seen.
Someone shouted, "The bailiff is here," and the dwarf stopped crying.

Yu Linlang nimbly squeezed out of the crowd and looked up to see Wu Yong and several yamen runners squeezing into the crowd.

I simply went to the shade of a tree and waited for a while.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, Yu Linlang quickly took out a sack from the space.

Not long after, Wu Yong came out with the yamen runners, waved his hand and said to everyone, "Don't block here, go do what you need to do."

He turned around and met Yu Linlang's smiling eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "What a coincidence, young lady is here too?"

"It's a coincidence indeed. I was planning to go to the government office to thank you, and I happened to meet you here, which saved me from making another trip."

Wu Yong waved his hands and grinned, "Oh, they are just small things, there is no need to thank you. Besides, the young lady really saved the people of Weizhou Prefecture, these are all real deeds."

Yu Linlang didn't bother to be polite with him and stuffed the sack into his arms. "I heard that your daughter is having some difficulty acclimatizing when she first came to Beijing. Take this and soak it in well water for half an hour when you get home. Cut it up and eat it to relieve the summer heat."

"Oh, this... How can I take a girl's things?" Wu Yong was forced to take the things, but he felt that they were heavy and didn't know what they were. "It's just fruit, not worth much money." Yu Linlang waved her hand.

What kind of fruit is so heavy? Wu Yong was curious, "Can I open it and take a look?"

"Look, if I give it to you, it's yours."

Wu Yong smiled innocently, lowered his head and opened the sack. The yamen runners behind him also came over to take a look.

"Hey, what kind of fruit is this? It's so big."

Yu Linlang was stunned for a moment, then she realized that this thing was probably not common in this dynasty.

So he casually said, "This is... a fruit from the Western Regions, called watermelon. The cook at home accidentally bought some, and we found them okay, so I brought some for you. It's not expensive, so take it back for your wife and daughter to try and cool down."

When she said that, Wu Yong just shook his head. How could the fruits from the Western Regions be so cheap?
"It's too expensive. I..."

"Come on, take it. It's so heavy that it's hard for me to carry it here. You don't want me to carry it back again, do you?"

Wu Yong laughed, and finally nodded at her, "Okay, then I'd like to thank you on behalf of my wife and daughter."

Yu Linlang smiled and asked him again, "Have you resolved the issue over there?"

"Young lady, do you also know about the theft?"

"Well, after a few glances, I wonder how many people were robbed."

"All five of them said they lost their purses, which is quite odd. We didn't find anything on the four dwarfs, so it might have been an accident."

After all, people were crowded together in a circle, and it was common for wallets to be squeezed out in the crowd.

"Then why do we arrest them?" Yu Linlang shook the candied haws in her hand and pointed at the circus troupe opposite.

Four dwarfs were packing their things with their heads down, following two yamen runners, and it seemed that they were going back to the government office.

"Oh, these people said they came from Ancheng. They had no pass or proof, and they walked through remote paths all the way across the mountains and hills. I saw that they were hesitant in their words, so I wanted to take them back to check their identities."

Yu Linlang nodded in understanding, "Okay, Wu Bantou, you guys go ahead and get busy."

"Okay, then the girl should go home early. Recently... there has been some unrest in the city, with thefts all the time. Be careful, girl."

"Okay." Yu Linlang nodded and said goodbye to Wu Yong and the others. She finished biting the last half of the candied haws and shook the stick in her hand.

At this moment, a child on the left side bumped into her arm. Yu Linlang quickly raised her elbow to avoid being stabbed by the stick.

As they passed each other, the child ran away.

Yu Linlang raised her eyebrows, grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him back.

The naughty child, who was about seven or eight years old, kicked his feet off the ground and shouted, "What are you doing? Let me go, let me go."

"Give it to me." Yu Linlang spread out a porcelain-white palm and poked it in front of the child's eyes.

The child's kicking movement froze instantly, and his eyes rolled around and looked at her again and again.

"What are you looking at? You know it. Hand it over, quickly. Don't let your sister do it herself."

The little ghost had a fierce look on his face and slowly took out a bulging purse from his arms. (End of this chapter)
