Chapter 151 Where to Run!
Huo Guang glanced around the crowd, and the people in the whole street looked at him expectantly, and they were a little angry at Liu Shu's inaction.

Hearing the discussion from the bustling crowd, Huo Guang paused, then raised his voice and shouted to the people of Wancheng.

"Fathers and folks, this thief willow stole the old woman's money, but refused to admit it. The old woman is really pitiful. Why don't we all give a little love and help each other? One coin per person is not much. , so that the elderly can go home and rest earlier.”

At this moment, all the onlookers are small traders who have been doing business here all year round or ordinary people who live nearby. They all know the old woman. Her family is poor and relies on selling oil cakes to support her sick husband and grandson who are sick at home every day.

As soon as Huo Guang finished speaking, the crowd began to erupt a little, "Everyone listens to the young master, and each of us will give grandma one coin."

"Yes, it's not easy for grandma, there are not many coins per person."

"I'll come first!"

A butcher-like man in a leather apron walked out of the crowd with a loud voice and arms crossed, holding a coin in his hand.

Huo Guang curled his lips and said, "Brother, please wait a moment. There will be many kind-hearted people who will help you soon. Wait until I prepare the container with the money. Wait a moment, wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, Huo Guang glanced at the bucket beside the stall not far away, and there happened to be half a bucket of water in it. His eyes lit up, and he had an idea, and walked over to move the bucket to the center.

"Let's put the coins in this bucket now. Come on, brother, you come first."

Although the butcher doesn't know what medicine is sold in the gourd of this white-faced boy who has never seen it before, he knows that this old lady is really pitiful. Losing money today is equivalent to killing the old lady half of her life. The busyness of coins is absolutely unambiguous.

He strode to the bucket with his arms crossed, and threw a coin into it.

The little coin plopped into the bucket, and after a slight ripple, it slowly sank to the bottom of the bucket.

Huo Guang stood by the bucket, and the onlookers began to walk up to the bucket one by one and throw coins into the bucket.

Everyone lined up, one coin, two coins, three coins.
There are voluntary ones and some involuntary ones. The main reason is that your front, back, left, and right sides have invested money. The crowd is crowded and you can’t go out, so you can only stand where you are. It's hot, I can't stand those hot eyes at all.

Huo Guang watched as there were more and more coins in the bucket. He still maintained his original expression and carefully observed the crowd of people watching. Suddenly his eyes fixed on a certain angle and the corner of his mouth raised a playful arc.

When I don't know how many coins I cast, I only hear a "plop", which seems to be the same as the previous N coins, just.
Not long after the coins fell into the water, a layer of oil film appeared on the bucket, and the person just wanted to turn around and leave.

Huo Guang suddenly took a step forward and shouted, "The thief who threw in oil cake money! Hurry up and catch him."

The onlookers didn't understand what was going on, and all of them stretched their necks to look around the bucket.

Hearing Huo Guang's shout, the man's eyes froze, his pupils constricted suddenly, his face was full of panic, his feet moved quickly, and he wanted to run away.

"Bold thief, where are you running!" Huo Guang stepped forward and grabbed the man by the back collar, firmly shackling him under his control.

There was an uproar at the scene, and everyone didn't understand why Huo Guang suddenly said that this person was a thief, and the person who invested the money did not leave, and the scene was completely surrounded.

The man turned his head suddenly, with sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks and fierce eyes, he struggled to break free from Huo Guang's shackles, puffed out his chest, pointed at Huo Guang and shouted, "You foreigner, why do you say that I am a thief stealing pancakes and money? Do you have evidence? No Don’t bite anyone for evidence!”

Although this sentence is very rough, the people who watched the excitement and eat melons have the same idea as him. This young man stepped forward and organized everyone to donate. This is a raise, and everyone supports it, but how could he know that he just put in coins? Is the monkey-faced man in the house a thief?

Huo Guang laughed, still holding on to the thief-faced man, "You want evidence? Okay, I will bring out the evidence now to make you convinced, and everyone will also bear witness."

Everyone was waiting for Huo Guang to reveal the evidence. The monkey-faced man had a treacherous face, and curled his lips contemptuously.

Seeing that the monkey-faced man had no intention of leaving, Huo Guang got up even more calmly and walked to the bucket, "Look, everyone, just as this man put his coins into the bucket, a film of oil floated on the surface of the water."

The crowd of onlookers quickly shrank inward, and the original large circle became a small circle, but the number of people did not decrease, and they all wanted to see the situation of the bucket.

"Really, there is a layer of oil floating in the barrel. There was no oil when I put in the money just now." The butcher shouted in a loud voice.

After thinking about it, he frowned and shouted, "But son, even if there is oil, what does it mean?"

The strong butcher answered everyone's questions.

Huo Guang continued, "This old lady sells oil cakes, and the money is missing in the basket selling oil cakes. Naturally, the coins will be covered with oil stains. We ordinary people, even if the money is accidentally stained with oil stains I will wipe it clean quickly so as not to get it on the clothes. So the money that everyone invested before is clean.”

The onlookers nodded their heads half-understanding, thinking that their money was indeed wiped clean before putting it in their sleeves or purses to avoid getting dirty.

Huo Guang saw all the approving eyes, and continued, "But there is only one kind of person whose money will be stained with oil at this moment, and that is the thief who just stole the old woman's money. And I conclude that this person must be a habit of stealing On this street, that's why I made such a big noise on purpose, and wanted him to come and watch, as expected." Huo Guang turned around and strode towards the monkey-faced man, "Thief, don't even think about escaping."

There was a sigh of sudden realization from the crowd!
Seeing that he could no longer defend himself, the monkey-faced man was about to escape when Huo Guang grabbed him.

Although Huo Guang was thin, his martial arts were not inferior to anyone. The monkey-faced man flew towards him with a punch, he blocked it lightly, and hit the monkey's face with his backhand.With just one slap, half of Lao Gao's monkey face was swollen.

The monkey-faced man sat down on the ground, pointed at Huo Guang and bared his teeth and shouted angrily, "You dare to meddle in Lao Tzu's business, even a foreigner, today is your death day."

As soon as the words fell, a group of hooligans appeared from nowhere, each holding a wooden stick, approaching Huo Guang.

The onlookers recognized this group of people, and they collected protection fees here on weekdays, and no one dared to provoke them. They always thought that they were responsible for the open robbery, but they did not expect that they were also responsible for the secret loss of money.

Although everyone was full of anger, they dared not speak out. They could only bear it silently. They also sweated for this honest young man from a foreign country, hoping that he would leave quickly to avoid being hurt by bullies.

The monkey-faced man jumped up from the ground, "Don't let him run away today! Go!"

Someone in the crowd kept shouting, "Young master, hurry up,"

The corner of Huo Guang's mouth curled up slightly, instead of running, he walked slowly towards the gangsters.
