"Miss Jiang, what case are you reporting?" Sun Liushao comforted his family, walked out quickly, and heard Jiang Cheng'er's last note.

He came out just in time, and Jiang Cheng'er recounted the robbery case outside the village.

Sun Liushao frowned: "There is such a thing, the people of several villages around us are simple, and there has never been a robbery before." ”

"I also think it's strange, this person seems to be a novice, and as far as I know, although his family is poor, it is not so poor that he needs to take the risk of robbing it." Jiang Cheng'er was also a little puzzled.

Sun Liushao's eyes lit up: "Do you know who the gangster is?" ”

Jiang Cheng'er nodded: "Aunt Zhao is more familiar with the people in the village, and I can hear his voice, he is the edamame of our village." ”

"Edamame! That hairy boy, cowardly a goods, even dared to block the road and rob, which made him a thief. Sun Liushao snorted coldly.

Zhao Sanpo added: "During the fight, I poked him in the neck with a spiked branch, which should have left scars, and I will know if I catch him." ”

"Okay, Miss Jiang, you and Aunt Zhao should go home for dinner first, I'll go and catch edamame myself, and then take him to confront you." When it comes to solving the case, Sun Liushao's spirit doubles.

Out of the village's house, Jiang Cheng'er looked at Zhao Sanpo and thanked him sincerely: "Aunt Zhao, you disregarded your own safety and desperately dragged Boss Sun to help me avoid a stick, I am very moved, thank you." ”

Zhao Sanpo scratched her head embarrassedly: "Hey, what's polite to my aunt." To be honest, I was scared at the time, so I rushed up without knowing why. There was only one thought in my mind at that time, and that was that I couldn't watch you get beaten. ”

"Aunt Zhao, I found out that you are sometimes a third wife, and sometimes a hero." Jiang Cheng'er spoke in a witty tone.

Zhao Sanpo said very seriously: "People's hearts are mutual, when Miss Tingting scolded me, you supported me and taught her a lesson, I was very moved."

What am I, Zhao Sanpo, a woman with a long tongue and a broken mouth, and I have chewed the root of your tongue. Instead of hating me, you repaid me with virtue, trusted me, reused me, and let me follow you to earn money. I'm grateful for all of this. ”

"No one is perfect, and everyone has shortcomings. A long tongue is not necessarily bad, but if it can be used on the right path, it can turn its shortcomings into strengths. Jiang Cheng'er is realistic, "I'm not so noble, I can't repay grievances with virtue, I will only repay you, I reuse you because of your eloquence." ”

"Anyway, you made me an old woman who stood on the street all day long, telling right and wrong, and experienced a different life. It turns out that in addition to boring mockery, there are many interesting things to do. Zhao Sanpo was moved.

Yes, no matter how old a person is, as long as he is willing to change, he can live a different wonderful life and realize his own value.

Jiang Cheng'er returned home, lest her mother be worried, so she didn't tell her mother about the gangsters on the road, but said that she was late when she came back from selling soap.

Not long after the meal, there was a knock on the door outside, Jiang Cheng'er ran out to open the door first, it was Sun Liushao, and he was alone.

"Did the edamame run away and didn't catch it?" Jiang Cheng'er asked urgently.

Sun Liushao smiled lightly: "Caught, I'll tell you, under my interrogation, he confessed to the crime, so there is no need to confront you." I thought to myself that if I brought him over at night, it would disturb your mother and sisters, so I locked him up for the time being. ”

Jiang Cheng'er praised from the bottom of her heart: "You are so thoughtful, I didn't dare to tell my mother about this at all, or let's go outside and talk." ”

Sun Liushao nodded, and Jiang Cheng'er shouted into the house, "Mother, you rest first, I have something to do with Sun Liushao to go out." ”

Liu was startled, full of doubts: Sun Liushao came to find Orange, what were the two of them doing at night? Didn't Orange Er have a relationship with Mr. Chu, why did she get involved with Sun Liushao again?

The night sky was clear, and the soft moonlight shone on the two people walking side by side.

Sun Liushao looked around: "Miss Jiang, it is very quiet to live in the village, and the air is good, but you must pay attention to safety." ”

He looked at Han Baichuan's bamboo house, his eyes flickered, and he told him out of kindness, "That neighbor of yours is not an ordinary person, you better stay away from him." ”

Jiang Cheng'er asked curiously, "Do you know the details of this person?" ”

Sun Liushao said contemplatively: "I don't understand, I've only seen him once, and I intuitively feel that he is not an ordinary hunter." ”

Jiang Cheng'er said secretly, Sun Liushao's eyes were really sharp, but no, the iceberg man was not very human, but a martial arts master, with a very heavy murderous aura.

She didn't dare to tell Sun Liushao this secret, so as not to cause trouble for Sun Liushao.

Everyone has their own secrets, and she is no exception. The iceberg man lives in seclusion here, as long as he keeps to himself and does not do bad things that harm the villagers.

Jiang Cheng'er asked coldly: "Did Maodou confess, what was his motive for robbery?" ”

"He said that his mother was sick and had no money for medicine, so he had to take the risk." Sun Liushao's eyes flickered quickly, "Edamame Niang knelt on the ground and begged, begging us to spare him this time for the sake of him being a first-time offender." ”

Jiang Cheng'er categorically refused: "No, if you commit a crime, you must accept the punishment of the law, otherwise the country will not be chaotic, and everyone will be in danger." If he is not severely punished the first time, he will not learn a long lesson, and he is likely to commit a more serious crime next time. ”

Sun Liushao's tone was complicated: "What Miss Jiang said is extremely true, punishment is necessary, but there is no need to stick to the form, we can move from the open to the dark."

Edamame is an attempted robbery, he was confused in the urgency of treating his mother's illness, and he remembered his filial piety, let me be extrajudicial and gracious, and not punish him publicly, do you think it's okay? ”

Jiang Cheng'er looked at Sun Liushao, did not say anything, and only said: "I always thought that Sun Zhutou was an iron-faced and selfless person. ”

Sun Liushao sighed faintly: "People are emotional animals, how can they be iron-faced and selfless?" Edamame has realized his mistake, cried and repented of his crimes, promising never to do it again next time.

After all, they are partners in the same village, so let's save some face for him. If the accusation spreads, he will always be infamy, and no girl will marry him, and no villager will dare to approach him...... His life is over. ”

"Sun Zhutou thinks so much about criminals, and if he commits a crime, he should bear the corresponding consequences, he is imprisoned, beaten a bachelor, and alienated, all of which he brought on himself, I don't think he should be pitied, because the law is not merciful." Jiang Cheng'er said awe-inspiringly.

"Miss Jiang, I was as jealous and hateful as you at first, but later I dealt with more cases, and the unwavering principles in my heart began to waver, and I sometimes fell into contradictions.

In the case of Edamame, public punishment would have a bad effect on him, and there is nothing more serious than ruining one's life at a young age. Sun Liushao's expression revealed a kind of entanglement.

Jiang Cheng'er's eyes were deep and she looked at him quietly.

Sun Liushao continued, "At the same time, the good atmosphere of 'not leaving the road behind and not closing the door at night' in Taohua Village for hundreds of years will also be destroyed, and the villagers will leave a shadow in their hearts and feel that the living environment is unsafe."

And by dealing with it secretly, you can avoid these disadvantages. I promise that after my punishment and education, Edamame will definitely change his ways, and I think this is the real salvation for him. ”

"Sun Zhutou is very loving, for the sake of the future of the criminals and the emotions of the villagers, but have you ever thought about the fright that I, the victim, suffered when I was robbed, and the shadow in my heart?"

If you consider it from the aspect of law being more affectionate, Jiang Cheng'er admits that he has some truth in it, but it does not mean that she agrees. Don't forget that she is a person who will repay her, and she can't wronged herself to fulfill others.

Yes, no matter how strong she is, she is just a weak girl who needs protection.

Sun Liushao suddenly reached out and grabbed Jiang Cheng'er's shoulder, and whispered softly: "Miss Jiang, you are frightened, my shoulder is borrowed from you." ”

The warmth of his palms spread from his shoulders in the cold spring night.

Jiang Cheng'er was slightly flustered, and quickly pushed him away, with a sneer on the corner of her lips: "Liushao, are you using a beautiful man trick on me?" ”

"No, no, Miss Jiang, you misunderstood, I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to...... Comfort you. Sun Liushao was stunned and hurriedly explained.

"I don't need your comfort, even if you say it in a big way, it can't hide your true intentions." Jiang Cheng'er's cold gaze locked on him.

Sun Liushao's eyes seemed to be stabbed, and he blinked unnaturally.

Jiang Cheng'er said bluntly, "You didn't disclose Edamame's crime for your father's sake." Several nearby villages are peaceful, only Taohua Village has robbers, and spreading it will damage your father's reputation and indirectly affect your career, right? ”

Sun Liushao seemed to have been whipped with a whip, his face was hot, and his body seemed to have no strength.

He sat on a large tree stump, looked up at the starry sky, and spoke slowly for a while.

"Miss Jiang, I don't deny that this is one of the reasons. My father has always been cautious and conscientious, trying to establish a good image in the eyes of the villagers, do you know why? He is for me, and he paves the way for me with word of mouth. ”

Jiang Cheng'er sat on the stump opposite Sun Liushao, thinking back to what Muramasa said and did, he was indeed highly respected in Peach Blossom Village, not as domineering as other Muramas.

He hit his baby daughter tonight, and he couldn't bear it, and there was a reason for his calm and rationality.

"My five older brothers all had no ambitions, and my father pinned all his hopes on me. He asked someone to teach me to read, sent me to the town yamen, and hoped that one day I would be able to walk from a small village to the capital, be promoted to a knight, and glorify my ancestors.

Although it was not my wish, I had no other choice, and I was instilled with too much thinking about this by my father since I was a child. My father's stern encouragement and ardent expectations lingered in my mind, and I could only carry the weight forward. ”

In Sun Liushao's tone, there was an indescribable bitterness.

Jiang Cheng'er said seriously: "It is the wish of all parents in the world to hope that their son will become a dragon, and I will not evaluate your father's approach and your choice." I just want to say that utilitarianism can be there, but not excessive, shortcuts can also be taken, but not crooked paths, I wish you success. ”
