In her previous life, before she died, she overheard Mr. and Mrs. ** Chang talking about a person named "Zuo Feiyi".

**Chang told his wife and son that when they arrived in the capital, they must not say their surname was Song, but had to say their surname was Zuo.

It is also said that Song Wenshan has changed his name to "Zuo Feiyi".

If she met a person named Zuo Feiyi in another state, she would not be excited, but she was very surprised to meet someone named Zuo Feiyi in this county.

Because there are not many young students in this county, the probability of someone with the same name and surname being a student is extremely low.

The probability is lower than picking up a piece of gold on the road.

If she guessed correctly, Song Wenshan later took the examination for the scholar under the name of the man in front of her.

It is strange that you don't want a good future for yourself, but give your name and fame to others.

Xia Xiaorou wanted to stop Zuo Feiyi and get to the bottom of this matter.

"I don't know the person you are talking about." Zuo Feiyi waved away Xia Xiaorou's hand, looked behind him, hurriedly picked up the scroll, and was about to run away.

How could Xia Xiaorou let him run away?

She finally found clues about Song Wenshan.

"Stop, I have something to ask you!" Xia Xiaorou turned around and quickly grabbed his collar again.

Zuo Feiyi became impatient, "You crazy woman, I said I don't know him, why are you still dragging me?"

"I will help you solve your troubles. I will pay off any money you owe them!" Xia Xiaorou said.

But Zuo Feiyi got angry, waving his hands in indignation and shouting, "You crazy woman, how could I owe them money? Absolutely not!"

"Lady in front, quickly catch that poor scholar, he's a thief!" Several people were getting closer and closer, waving at Xia Xiaorou and speaking loudly.

Zuo Feiyi's face changed drastically. He waved his hand to push Xia Xiaorou, trying to break free and run away.

Xia Xiaorou held him tightly and said to the people chasing him, "How much is the thing he took worth? I'll pay for it. Don't chase him anymore!"

After hearing what she said, several people replied, "Okay, young lady, you can pay for it. One braised chicken leg and two boiled eggs, a total of twenty-four coins."

Xia Xiaorou nodded, "Okay, I'll pay for it."

She took out her purse and wanted to pay.

But Zuo Feiyi stopped her and said angrily, "Young lady, I definitely didn't steal anything. You can't pay me. If you pay me, it will prove that I stole something, which will humiliate my reputation. I would rather die than bear this crime!"

His face flushed, he stamped his feet, and looked like he wanted to bang his head against the wall to prove his innocence.

Xia Xiaorou had a headache. Did she meet a stubborn nerd?

In order to solve the trouble quickly, Xia Xiaorou could only secretly gesture to the three people who were chasing them, indicating that she was willing to give money. As for the nerd Zuo Feiyi, she would deal with it.

Since someone was paying compensation, the three people who were chasing them didn't say anything. They just took the money and left.

Zuo Feiyi couldn't take it anymore and stopped Xia Xiaorou to argue, "You crazy woman, why are you going to pay the money? You are ruining my reputation."

Xia Xiaorou was speechless, "What if they catch up with you and beat you to death?"

"I would rather be beaten to death than admit that I stole anything! I don't even bother to steal. Humph!" Zuo Feiyi rolled his eyes to the sky.

Xia Xiaorou rubbed her forehead. It seemed that in order to find out the whereabouts of Song Wenshan, she had to restore Zuo Feiyi's reputation first.

"So, Zuo Tongsheng, which shop are those people from just now? How did they wrongly accuse you? Take me there and I will help you find out."

Zuo Feiyi narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Xiaorou, "How do you know my last name is Zuo?"

Xia Xiaorou raised her lips slightly and pointed at the scroll in his arms, "Your scroll fell to the ground, and I saw the signature."

"I didn't expect that a village woman like you could actually recognize words. How rare." Zuo Feiyi looked at Xia Xiaorou curiously again.

Xia Xiaorou's face was dark. There are always people better than you.

Zuo Feiyi actually looked down on her.

But then again, if she didn't know Yan Heng, she might never know how to read a single word in her life.

In her previous life, Yan Heng often tricked her into coming to the village and forced her to learn to read.

After a few years, not only could she learn to read, she could already debate classics and history with Yan Heng.

"When I was a child, I eavesdropped on the teacher's classes and recognized a few words." Xia Xiaorou explained.

"Oh, I see." Zuo Feiyi had an expression of sudden enlightenment. After a while, he said, "Stop talking nonsense. Come with me to the delicatessen shop in front. You have to help me clear my name."

"You lead the way, I'll go right away." Xia Xiaorou shook the reins and nodded.

The deli was not far away. It only took half a minute to walk around an intersection and get there.

"That's not it, that one!" said Zuo Feiyi.

Xia Xiaorou parked the ox cart in a corner of the house and followed Zuo Feiyi over.

Perhaps because it is the end of the year, the delicatessen is doing quite good business and there is a constant stream of people coming to buy.

The three people who were chasing Zuo Feiyi just now were all busy. Some were selling goods and collecting money, some were watching over the stove, and one was washing raw meat.

Seeing that Xia Xiaorou didn't say anything or come forward, but just stood far away and stared at the delicatessen, Zuo Feiyi said anxiously, "Madam, why don't you come forward and ask, don't just stand there."

Xia Xiaorou glanced at him and said, "I've found out the reason. Come with me."

Zuo Feiyi blinked. "You figured it out already?"

He touched the back of his head and followed Xia Xiaorou to the delicatessen shop.

Xia Xiaorou looked at the stall, pointed at the braised chicken legs and said, "Give me four chicken legs."

The salesman nodded, "Okay, four braised chicken legs..."

He was about to pick up the goods when he heard a familiar voice and looked up.

When the guy found out it was the young lady who had just helped them pay, he laughed and said, "It's you." Then he curled his lips again when he saw Zuo Feiyi following beside him.

"Yes, it's me. We're an acquaintance. Can you give me a discount?" Xia Xiaorou nodded.

"Hey..." the waiter asked the man watching the stove, "Boss, the young lady just now wanted four chicken legs, and she asked if it could be cheaper."

The shopkeeper looked at Xia Xiaorou and said with a smile, "She helped us catch the thief and paid for it. She also bought a lot. Ah Fu, give this young lady two hard-boiled eggs."

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Xia Xiaorou smiled slightly, paid the money, and took the cooked food bag in her hand. However, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she pointed at the five-year-old child and a big white dog in the shopkeeper's house and said with a smile, "Today I passed by and helped the shopkeeper catch the thief. If I don't come to the street tomorrow and the shopkeeper's house loses chicken legs again, what should I do?"

The shopkeeper heard the hidden meaning in her words and walked towards Xia Xiaorou, "Madam, why don't you just speak frankly."

Xia Xiaorou smiled slightly and pointed at the five-year-old boy and the white dog. "What are those two eating?"

The shopkeeper turned around suddenly, and soon he stomped his feet and rushed towards the boy and the dog, "Abao, what are you doing?"

"Woof woof woof--" the big white dog barked at the shopkeeper a few times, then turned and ran away protecting the boy.

The shopkeeper chased the boy around the house and finally caught him. "I'll beat you to death, you bastard! You've been causing trouble for me!"

"It was Dabai who stole it, not me. Dad, you are wronging me!"

"Woof woof woof -"

A child, a dog and a man were arguing loudly in the house.

Zuo Feiyi pointed there and asked Xia Xiaorou with a puzzled look, "What's going on?"

"Maybe the child instigated the big white dog to steal the chicken leg, or maybe the big white dog stole the chicken leg to feed the child. Who knows?" Xia Xiaorou shrugged.

She had heard people say in her previous life that the big white dog in this family was as smart as a human.

However, the shopkeeper was busy and didn't care much about his son's affairs.

Zuo Feiyi is a nerd and can't explain himself, which led to the misunderstanding.

There was a lot of fighting going on over there. Xia Xiaorou shouted, "Boss, it seems that your big white dog stole the chicken leg. You can't blame Zuo Tongsheng for this, right?"

The son and the dog were stealing food and were seen by others.

If you continue to wrongly accuse others, you will not be able to do business.

The shopkeeper saw a lot of people gathering around and asked what was going on.

Zuo Feiyi was no longer a bookworm this time, and was describing his grievances vividly, "I was just passing by and took a look at the chicken legs they were selling, and they suddenly accused me of stealing something. But now they have found out that it was the shopkeeper's son and dog who stole the food, and I am so wronged."

"Shopkeeper, you can't wrongly accuse me. Zuo Tongsheng has been selling calligraphy and paintings on the street for many years. He was so hungry that he only drank water and never stole anything. He is very noble."

"Yes, yes, we can testify."

Misunderstanding resolved.

For the sake of business, the shopkeeper had to return the twenty-four cents that Xia Xiaorou had paid and apologized to Zuo Feiyi.

Xia Xiaorou said to Zuo Feiyi, who was in high spirits after clearing his name, "Zuo Tongsheng, I have cleared your name, can you help me now?"
