As the saying goes, "men have gold under their knees", I believe that no man will kneel easily unless it is absolutely necessary. And Qian Taishao knelt three times in a row, each time kneeling heavier than the other, and each time more sad than the other, which really made Ouyang Yunyi a little stunned.

Ouyang Yunyi frowned slightly, holding the iron rod with his right hand, and clenching his left hand into a fist on his chest, hesitating in his heart, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Shannian said: "This guy doesn't even want the basic dignity of a person, presumably he has really been driven to a corner, and what he said should not be false." If you drive him out and take this food and drinking water with you, the madmen won't let him go. Alas, the world is like this, and he is also quite innocent and powerless, so it is better to arrange a room for him and live in it first. ”

However, the evil thought retorted, "He must not be allowed to stay!" Who is he innocent, he has pit so many townspeople, which one is not innocent? If it weren't for him, would the brass ring fall to where it is now? To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself! Such people must not be left behind! Moreover, the nature of the people in their central area is difficult to change, and in order to survive, he will definitely turn around and murder us! If he catches the opportunity to dominate the inn, then Ah Fu will have to suffer with him! The only thing left to do now is to take all his food and kick him out! ”

But Shannian didn't give up, and defended: "If you really do that, what's the difference between it and those crazy people outside?" Moreover, you can't just kick people out, that's too ruthless! I have to ask him what he has been through! It's not too late to decide if you can keep him until the reason is clear. What's more, is it so easy for him to dominate the inn? In front of Ah Fu, does he have this ability? ”

Obviously, the statement of good thoughts is more humane.

Ouyang Yunyi was stunned, and came to the gate with an iron rod, lowered his head slightly, and stared at Qian Taishao with a solemn expression.

"You...... What do you mean by that? ”

Qian Taishao slowly raised his head, at this time it was already full of tears, only to hear a sob, suddenly, two bean-sized tears fell down the trend and dripped on his knees. He wanted to say and explain, but the words couldn't keep up with the speed of tears and snot falling, and he choked up several times. In the end, he himself was anxious, but the more anxious he was, the stiffer he became, and the more he couldn't spit out a word.

Seeing such a thin man in his thirties crying silently, crying like a child, Ouyang Yunyi couldn't help but be a little soft-hearted, and when she looked at it, she found that Qian Taishao's iconic white suit was now dyed brown and yellow by the mud, if she didn't look closely, she would think that it was this color, and his arms and face were wrapped in a layer of patina-colored ash, almost exactly the same as those crazy people. However, the two large packages that he had worked so hard to carry were as white as ever, and there was no dust at all, which was incredible.

"That...... You drink saliva first to calm down......" Ouyang Yunyi immediately picked up a bottle of water from the ground, kindly helped Qian Taishao unscrew the cap, and handed the water to him, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile bitterly, and sighed, "Alas, don't worry, I won't drive you away." ”

Qian Taishao was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes sluggishly, took the water bottle with both hands, and drank half of it in one go. When his emotions were completely calmed down, he suddenly sighed deeply and said with a look of regret.

"Miss Ouyang, I confessed to the mistakes I had made, I just had too much selfishness and was too greedy for money, which led to today's catastrophe. But I really know wrong, and I already have

I paid the price, my possessions were taken away, my family disowned me, kicked me out of the house, and now I really have nothing left. If I could turn back the clock, I swear to God, I would never do that! ”

"What's the use of your vows, that those who die of thirst because they have no money to buy water can be resurrected?

Qian Taishao shook his head and said sadly: "No." ”

Ouyang Yunyi sighed, "Then you still say!" Moreover, people like you, the vows they make, they turn their heads and forget them, and they are not worthy of belief. ”

As soon as he heard this, Qian Taishao's eyes became like two black holes, and he saw him hammer his chest heavily with one hand, gritted his teeth and said: "In the past, I did make lying a habit, but this time, I was the most serious. If it weren't for me, we wouldn't have been able to afford drinking water! ”

Ouyang Yunyi was immediately stunned, his face full of confusion.

"That notorious speculator, Ah Chai, he was originally an inconspicuous manager in the copper ring, and although he belonged to the Commodity Management Council, no one cared about him, and I was no exception. So, when I first came back to inspect the copper ring, I didn't treat him as a human being at all. But he was too shrewd and too forbearing, and under the punches and kicks, he didn't scream, just smiled stupidly at me. Seeing him like a dog, I was quite happy at the time, so I kept him by my side as a pet. ”

"But one day, he made a big mistake, he 'changed' the accounts, underreported the amount that should have been reported by half, and what was even more terrible was that in order to fit the amount on the accounts, he put all the money that was underreported in front of me. At first, I was angry, scolding him that if the people who checked the accounts found out, he and I would be sent to the amethyst mine and never see the light of day! But I never expected that the person who audited the accounts had always been known as sharp-eyed, but for some reason, he didn't see any flaws in the fake accounts he made. For a while, I was greedy and came up with the idea of letting him continue to be wrong. ”

Later, I suddenly realized that he had made a mistake on purpose, in order to show his ability to make false accounts and lead me into his trap. It was also at that time that I fell deeper and deeper into the quagmire, and I abandoned all the efforts to build a better home and improve the lives of the townspeople. ”

Saying that, Qian Taishao sighed again and continued: "Alas, it's to blame that I was carried away by money for a while, and I didn't notice his ambition at all, nor did I find that he buried all his hatred in his heart. The whole thing of 'bill leak' was planned by him single-handedly, and the purpose was to take revenge on me and completely crush me! ”

Ouyang Yunyi raised his eyebrows and exclaimed, "What?!" How could it be him? He wasn't mentioned in the newspapers! ”

Qian Taishao sighed, "It's surprising, right, he has the ability to make false accounts, and he has the ability to make him what he is today, not to mention the ability to clear and clear himself." From beginning to end, he quietly erased all traces of himself, and I wanted to drag him to die with him, but there was no way to do it. ”

Ouyang Yunyi couldn't help but gasp, and suddenly said: "So that's the case, I still wonder how the whistleblower has a surprisingly complete bill in his hand, and I thought it was because you accidentally stole it, but I didn't expect that the bill turned out to be made by himself." How can the human heart be so terrible! ”

Qian Taishao smiled bitterly, staring blankly at the clock on the wall, the second hand turning in circles by itself, but his mind stopped forever on that afternoon half a year ago.

That one

It was a bright afternoon as usual, and Qian Taishao took Ah Chai back to the commodity management committee in the central area, and he was also the only copper ring manager who could enter the central area. One after the other, the two walked into a large conference room and stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling glass window.

Seeing the golden sunset outside the window, Qian Taishao's mood was extremely happy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Ahem......"

After coughing twice, Ah Chai immediately understood what Qian Taishao meant, took out two lazy smart tablets from his arms, lit up the screen, and handed them to him.

One shows the real accounts, and the other shows the manipulation.

Qian Taishao glanced at it cursoryly, nodded contentedly, and said with a smile: "Ah Chai, you also drew a lot of oil and water from it." ”

Ah Chai pretended to be stupid and smiled, bent down and replied: "We are all from Greedy Town, just take a little bit, it's not worth mentioning." ”

Qian Taishao suddenly sank his face and shouted: "Even if it's a little bit, it's greed!" ”

Ah Chai was startled, and hurriedly apologized: "Adult, the little one knows that he is wrong!" I'll send all the money back to your house right away!" ”

"Hahaha!" Qian Taishao suddenly laughed again and patted Ah Chai on the shoulder, "I'm scared of you!" You've done so much for me, and you deserve a reward! However, Ah Chai, you have to pay attention in the future, after all, you live in Tonghuan, and although it is far away from the central area, it doesn't mean that they won't notice you. Therefore, if you have money, you can't spend lavishly, and you must not buy things that are very expensive at first glance! If you want to buy, you can also buy more common ones, which are not easy to cause misunderstandings. ”

Ah Chai nodded thoughtfully and asked, "For example?" ”

"Shhh...... I can't give you advice on that for a while. ”

At this moment, Qian Taishao's communicator turned on, and after he made a gesture to Achaibi to shut up, he answered the call.

"Hey, Uncle Fu, how are you doing lately? Okay, I'll come and see you another day......"

"What? The water plant has been completely cut off, how many times has it been this month? Hey, it's only the first time, that's fine, wait two more days, if there is still no water, I will contact the people at Ximen to issue an emergency order to adjust the price. ”

"Don't worry, it may just be bad weather, or some blockages upstream. There's really no need to rush so much, just wait a little longer. ”

"I know that the water cut has a big impact on the town, and rest assured, there is still plenty of drinking water in the market. Ouch, Uncle Fu, I know you also want to make more than those two cents, but this is not the time, if you release the news now, it will be easy to cause a robbery, and it will be much more difficult to raise the price at that time. ”

At that time, Qian Taishao only cared about holding down Uncle Fu's heart to immediately raise the price of water, but he didn't notice that Ah Chai beside him gradually grinned, revealing an extremely treacherous smile.

And the next day, the water plant still came, and everything was as usual, but from that moment on, the town of Greed went completely into darkness.

Suddenly, Qian Taishao shuddered, his face turned gray for a while, and he said resentfully: "That Ah Chai is indeed terrifying, but the most terrifying person should be me, and those people in the central area!" The reason why he knew that the town would be cut off from water, and why he would stock up on drinking water in large quantities in advance, was because of me! I came up with this way to make a fortune! It was I who accidentally said that I leaked my mouth! Blame me! Blame the fuck on me! ”

Since they are the same way to make a fortune, who is the speculator and what is the difference?
