Yun Qingyan raised his eyebrows, "I didn't say that I had to send you to prison." ”

"Are you willing to let me go?" Still holding half a bun in his hand, the young man looked at Yun Qingyan in surprise.

"Let's talk about it first, what is your name, and why did you steal my purse." Yun Qingyan drank the porridge in front of him slowly, eating the side dishes that Feng Yihan had sandwiched, and looked like he was in a very good mood.

"My name is Li Yu, in fact, I don't steal anything at all on weekdays, but this time I was really helpless."

As he spoke, Li Yu paused, glanced at Yun Qingyan and Feng Yihan, and then spoke.

"My parents died early, there are three or four younger siblings left in the family, the youngest one is still in infancy, as the eldest brother in the family, I can only support them alone, I originally found a job, but I didn't expect that the shopkeeper was a pit man, I worked hard for more than half a month, but he didn't pay me, and I was kicked out. I was so forced to do so, that's why I thought about stealing the girl's purse, and if I didn't have any money, my younger siblings would probably starve to death. ”

Li Yu frowned, looking sad and sad.

"There are a lot of girls, and I beg you to let me go this time, our whole family will change our mother's great kindness."

As soon as these words came out, the anger on Qiu'er's face just now faded slightly.

If it's really to steal money to support his younger siblings, it's understandable, not so hateful.

"What you say is true?" Yun Qingyan looked at Li Yu.

"Of course it's true, I promise that if there's a lie, I'll thunder." Li Yu stretched out three fingers and swore to the sky.

"Heh, Lei Gong has been really busy these years." Yun Qingyan looked at Li Yu, "You said that you have been working for half a month, I don't know what you are doing?" ”

"This, do everything, get up early and be greedy for darkness. Cutting down trees, moving stones, and sometimes helping the shopkeeper to move goods to the dock is really hard. ”

"Yes." Yun Qingyan glanced at Feng Yihan, "Do you think what he said is true?" ”

Feng Yihan chuckled, "I don't know if it's true or not, but the skin on the palm of my hand is quite delicate." ”

Li Yu glanced at his palm, which was white and pure, without a little calluse, and a little stiffness instantly appeared on his face.

Feng Qing snorted coldly, "Hmph, if it's really as you said, if it's all this hard work, how can the skin on your hands not be damaged at all, it's still so white and tender, it's a lie at all." ”

When Qiu'er heard this, she also looked at Li Yu's palm carefully, and suddenly became annoyed.

"It turned out that he was lying to us, I almost believed your words just now, it's really hateful!"

Li Yu hurriedly spoke, "I'm really not lying, everyone's skin is different, I was born with white skin, no matter how you tan or not, you can't hurt it." ”

Yun Qingyan put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Give you another chance, if you don't tell the truth, I can only ask the shopkeeper just now to find someone from the official mansion." ”

"Don't, don't!" Li Yu gritted his teeth, looking very embarrassed, "Okay, I can tell you the truth, but after telling the truth, you must promise to let me go." ”

"Tell me about it first." Yun Qingyan looked at Li Yu.

"Actually, it's like this, I was originally the son of a big family, but because I fell in love with a Qinglou Oiran, I spent a lot of money for her. But my father did not allow me to be with her, and locked me in the house, and forbade me to see her again.

In a fit of rage, I sneaked out of my house, took the silver and heard that the Oiran had redeemed her, and I was going to elope with her and go away, but I didn't expect to go to this realm, and she actually stole my money, and ran away from me. I was penniless, I hadn't eaten for several days, and I was really forced to do it, so I thought about stealing some coils and returning home. ”

Li Yu sighed, "It's really a shame that I made a mistake in this matter." That's why I just thought about finding a random reason to fool around. This girl, what I'm telling now is the truth, I hope you can see that I was also deceived, forget it this time, don't report it again. ”

"Miss......" Qiu'er looked at Yun Qingyan, this time she didn't immediately believe Li Yu's words, and there was a bit of inquiry in her tone.

"You said you are the son of a big family, so where do you live?"

"Hezhou, more than two hundred miles away from here."

Yun Qingyan asked again: "What does your family do for a living?" ”

"Mainly by selling silk and satin fabrics."

"How much money did you spend on ransom?"

"One thousand taels."

"Where are you going from Hezhou to here?"

"Of course, it's to go to the Imperial City to see the world."

Seeing Li Yu's answer, Yun Qingyan was a little uncertain for a while, and looked at Feng Yihan.

And Feng Yihan had already put down his chopsticks at this time, "Fake." ”

"What I said is the truth, if there is a lie, let me ......" Li Yu paused for a moment and swallowed a few words of thunder and thunder, "Although I was lying just now, everything I said now is true." ”

"Is your family in the cloth business?"

"That's right." Li Yu nodded.

"Then you can tell me what the fabric we wear is, that is, how much silver should be sold according to the local price in Hezhou."

"This ......" Li Yu looked at Yun Qingyan and Feng Yihan's clothes, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

"What, can't tell?" Feng Yihan hooked the corners of his lips, took the cloth towel handed by Feng Qing, and wiped his hands slowly, "Since the family makes a living from this, even if you don't learn and don't know anything, you should know something." ”

"This, the clothes worn by a few people are not ordinary at first glance, Hezhou is just a small place, so I haven't seen it before." Saying that, Li Yu added, "And our family is in the local area, although it is said to be a big family, but in fact it is just a business businessman's family, I grew up in Hezhou, and I haven't seen much of the world." ”

"Heh, it's a coincidence, the fabric of the robe on my body is unique to Hezhou, can't Li Gongzi see it?"

"This ......" Li Yuzhi frowned, is it really such a coincidence.

"It seems that I really can't ask the truth, Fengqing, bring people to the yamen, and see how the yamen should betray and judge." Yun Qingyan stood up.

Li Yu immediately got up, "Don't, although I stole your purse, but I didn't succeed, as the so-called multiple friends have multiple roads, this girl, if you spare me this time, if you need help with anything next time, even if you open your mouth, you must not give up." ”

"Fengqing, take it away."

Li Yu was anxious, "Okay, I was indeed fooling around just now, I have lived by abduction since I was a child, and what I am best at is stealing things, but I have washed my hands some time ago, and I haven't stolen anything for a long time." It's just that this time I'm really hungry, so I can't hold back for a while. ”
