"Was it you yesterday?" Jiang De asked as he sat on his chair.

Shi Qian hesitated, he really wanted to say that he did it all, but thinking that in the future, when he was told by others that he was deceived and stolen his name, it was not beautiful, so he said, "I am the one who stole the recipe, but I don't know which master is the one who stole your Hundred Treasure Pavilion." ”

"Hahaha, this kid still thinks someone really stole the Hundred Treasure Pavilion." Yan Qing couldn't help but laugh when she heard Shi Qian say this.

Shi Qian looked at Yan Qing and was stunned, he thought at first that this trap was prepared for the master who stole the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, he was just unlucky, but only at this time did he know what was going on, he stomped his feet and said, "You are cheating, you are not a hero!" ”

Shi Yong patted Shi Qian and said, "And a little thief like you also use the best methods?" ”

Shi Qian glared at Shi Yong and said to Jiang De, "If you want to kill or chop, come on, if I frown, I won't be a hero." ”

At this time, there was a commotion outside, everyone looked at the door, only to see Wen Da in official uniforms walking in with a few armor soldiers escorting a man in black, Wen Da said to Jiang De, "Sure enough, as Xiao Langjun expected, this guy really has an accomplice, or a thief woman, this thief woman is quite powerful, if I didn't make a move, the brothers brought more nets, and they were really almost run away by him!" ”

As soon as they heard the thief's mother-in-law, everyone looked at the black-clothed man who was escorted with great interest, and sure enough, they found that this person had a delicate figure and did not look like a man.

The man in black saw that everyone looked at him like this, he was ashamed and ashamed, and scolded angrily, "You corrupt officials and lackeys, dogs who should be killed, dare to look at your aunt and grandmother again, and your aunt and grandmother gouged out your eyeballs as bubbles!" ”

"Hey! What a thief, her mouth is quite hard! Shi Yong picked up his hand and wanted to fight.

"Stop!" "You dare!!" Jiang De and Shi Qian shouted at the same time.

Shi Yong smiled at Jiang De, put down his hand, and then scolded Shi Qian, "You thief, dare to be arrogant? ”

Jiang De also ignored the time change, and said to Wenda, "It's been hard work for the past two days, brothers, I asked people to prepare some wine, food and tea, so that the brothers can eat and drink, and the brothers who haven't arrived, I also prepared tea money, and asked the inspection to take it back." ”

There is food, drink, and money to take, this work is done! Wenda smiled and said, "Then I thank Xiao Langjun for the brothers." What about these two thieves? ”

Jiang De waved his hand and said, "I'll deal with it, Yan Qing, after you finish arranging the inspection and the brothers, go to the yamen and help me bring a message to my uncle, and the case can be closed." ”

Yan Qing sighed, and left with Wenda, and Shi Qian and the two were also controlled by the guards of Qionglou.

At this time, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion was already full of Jiang De's people, and Jiang De said to the people next to him, "Okay, let them go, Shi Qian, I let you go, will you run?" ”

Shi Qian looked at Lian'er beside him, to be honest, if he was alone, he really wanted to run, but with Lian'er here, he didn't dare to take risks, so Shi Qian shook his head and said, "I won't run." ”

Jiang De hummed, waved his hand, and the guards who grabbed the two let go of their hands, Jiang De stepped down from his position, and said around Shi Qian, "Don't worry, I don't mean anything else, I just want to talk, Shi Qian, I want to ask you, you learned so good kung fu, but you are a thief, why is this?" ”

Shi Qian heard Jiang De's words, as if he had returned to the old days when he was studying art, he looked at Lian'er beside him and said, "Although we are thieves, there is also a way to steal, in order to rob the rich and help the poor, I Shi Qian has never stolen those poor people's things." ”

"Then something has to be stolen for you." Shi Yong muttered, Jiang De glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, but the time has changed, you said that you have a way to steal, although I am rich in Qionglou, I have never done anything to bully men and women, and bully the market, why did you steal from me again?" ”

Shi Qian's mouth opened and sighed a few times, but he couldn't speak, and Lian'er next to him opened his mouth and said, "Since you Qionglou are so rich, why don't you give some money to other poor people?" Although you don't bully the market, you are also a profiteer, do you think your Qionglou is a place where the poor can enter? I just heard that you are still the nephew of the dog officer Liang Shijie, a nest of snakes and rats since ancient times, what kind of good person do you say you are? ”

Shi Qian immediately responded, "That's right, you Qionglou are not good people!" ”

Jiang De laughed and said, "Interesting and interesting, you are not a good person if you don't share money, which penny of my Qionglou is not saved by my brothers little by little?" Why should you give it to someone for free? You are so morally kidnapped, but it makes me laugh.

And why haven't you thought that I have opened dozens of Qionglou and hundreds of oil mills in less than two years, and there are thousands of employees in these stores, plus tens of thousands of their families, I Jiang De gave tens of thousands of people to eat, but you said that I am not a good person? ”

"This..."Shi Qian looked at Lian'er, hoping that she could continue to say something, but saw that Lian'er's eyes were also full of confusion.

Jiang De snorted and said, "More work, less work, no work, this is the world's most reasonable, of course, people have young and old times, when they are young, they need to learn literature and martial arts, and when they are old, they have no flesh and blood, we need to take care of them, and we should be, but a young and strong, unwilling to work but thinking about others giving alms or stealing the fruits of other people's labor, how shameful! Time passes, I don't think you're a good man, but a coward! ”

Shi Qian seemed to be told something on his mind, and said angrily, "Even if we are willing to work, this court must let us have a job to do!" You have been clothed and fed since you were a child, where do you know that the people are suffering, droughts and floods, and there is no harvest, so we can only endure in the village and escape the famine! But those dog officials want nothing from all over the world, and we are not allowed to escape from the famine, and in the end we will either starve to death or change our children and eat! Yi Zi eats, Xiao Langjun, do you know what this means? It's cannibalism! Eat your own children, eat your own parents, eat all the people you can catch, and eat them to live!

Work? If you can work and earn money to support your family with peace of mind, how many people are willing to be thieves? I am a snitch, but I can take the money from your rich family to save other people's families, you say that you let ten thousand people live, and I have saved many people! ”

Jiang De's heart seemed to have been hit, and he was eaten... He didn't know what these four words represented, but in his heart, the Song Dynasty should be extremely wealthy, and the Song Dynasty had a tradition of relieving disaster victims and recruiting disaster victims as soldiers, so there shouldn't be many such things.

This is Jiang De's half-understanding of the truth of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty is indeed an extremely wealthy era in ancient China, but it is also a period of extremely high incidence of peasant uprisings, even if it is the Renzong period that is constantly respected by later generations, peasant uprisings are also one after another, Guangqing has Jingdong Wang Lun, Jingxi Zhang Hai, Beizhou Wang Ze and other uprisings, Ouyang Xiu's record at the time is like this: Wang Lun, Zhang Hai and so on one after another, Jingdong, Huainan, Jiangnan, Shaanxi, Jingxi five or six roads, twenty or thirty state troops, thousands of miles of murder and arson, wanton rampant, Entering the state and county, such as entering the land of no one. It can be seen how bad the situation was at that time, and although the reason for this was the increasing population of the Song Dynasty and the reappearance of the land issue, there were also factors of inaction by local officials.

In fact, think about it, Bao Zheng is famous all over the world without accepting bribes, isn't it just to tell the truth about the common corrupt officials at that time, although Renzong is benevolent, but this benevolence doesn't condone the existence of those corrupt officials?
