The man who was captured shrugged his shoulders and smiled and asked, "Yes, I won't argue with you, how many days are you going to lock me up this time?" ”

Gu Changqing leaned down and said in his ear, "Look at your performance, maybe you will be released tomorrow if you perform well." ”

The man couldn't help but be happy, unconsciously twitched the wound on his mouth, and after hissing, he said, "Come on, if you want to say that the former county officials, if you give some silver, you must release it to me without saying a word, but you, it is estimated that even if it is the next life, it is enough to choke, who doesn't know you, the county order of Yong'an City, the whole oil and salt do not enter." ”

The thief's words are true, since Gu Changqing came to this Yong'an City, many landlords and gentry have come to him in a different way, either to eat or to give things.

The big silver tickets are given, the small bottles and cans are also taken, and the meals are also invited every once in a while, and what chickens, ducks, and fish are often brought over.

However, every time, Gu Changqing refused verbally, especially those silver tickets and porcelain, and he often left two sentences.

"Take the silver ticket? If you don't take it, you will burn it. So saying, he took the silver ticket in his hand and placed it on top of the candle, and seeing that the flames were about to begin to devour, the person who gave the silver ticket had to take it down.

Those who brought porcelain were even more troublesome, and he only needed a slight tremor of one hand to break his bones.

This Yong'an City is rich in porcelain, especially the soil of Yunlong Mountain and the water of Qingyun Mountain, and the porcelain burned out is called a beautiful. Most of the porcelain up and down the Golden Kingdom is produced here. However, this is also divided into good and bad, a good few thousand taels of silver is not a problem, if it is left from a long time ago or worth more, there are also a few taels of silver, to say that the porcelain sent by those people is all good, not worth thousands but also worth hundreds of taels of gold.

If it's so broken, I don't know how many people feel distressed, so they usually come back how they came, and on the way back, they can't help but caress like touching children.

Gu Changqing is not stupid, although what those people say in their mouths just thinks that they look good and are not worth a few dollars, and some say that those silver tickets are investments waiting for the county government to do things, but even if they say it nicely on the surface, in their hearts they are just thinking about bribing him.

The business cooperation of the Yong'an City government is a fat pig, everyone wants to share a point, and whoever can win the favor of this county order is equivalent to sharing half a pig.

Such a little ninety-nine, even if you don't say it, everyone knows it.

However, he would go once in a while to invite guests to dinner, but every time he settled the account by himself in advance, so that in the end, it became Gu Changqing's treat, and he would leave a sentence every time, "Keep your money, if there is any disaster in the future, don't hide it and take it out, I know that you all have a few catties and a few taels." ”

At the beginning, some people explained that the store would not accept his money, but every time, Gu Changqing would invite them to the county government office as guests with an extremely indifferent manner, so after a long time, even if he didn't say it, the shopkeepers of the shops that often went to eat would ask him for it.

In this way, although some people are happy and some are sad, he himself is comfortable.

Not controlled by people, nor by money.

This is what a free man is.

Jiancheng took the thief down, and there was no need to try such a case, this thief's name was Han Mingqi, and he was already a frequent visitor here, since Gu Changqing came here, he came in no less than three times, either fighting or stealing.

Gu Changqing asked him why he stole things with hands and feet, but the person only said one sentence, "I was used to stealing when I was a child, but I can't change it when I grow up, and I want to take things when I see them." ”

Gu Changqing didn't care about it at the time, just because the case between Li Hongsheng and the Liu family had not completely ended at that time, and now, when he thinks about it, he finds that there are a lot of relationships in it.

He quickly got up and went to the prison, where Han Mingqi had fallen asleep on the straw mat.

He went in and kicked him gently, and he woke up dissatisfied, "Who's looking for a beating?" ”

When he raised his eyes, he saw that it was Gu Changqing, and hurriedly changed his expression, "Hey, Lord Gu, it's so late, why are you here?" ”

"I ask you something, and you must answer it truthfully." Gu Changqing said.

"Yes, since you are asking me for something and disturbing my sleep, you have to give me some benefits anyway, I didn't catch dinner when I came in at night, and I didn't have time to eat outside." As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows at Gu Changqing, "Get some food, I'm starving." ”

"Just you, kid, do the most all day." Gu Changqing said, and also sat down, and the problem of rice had been explained.

"I asked you why you steal with your hands and feet, and how did you answer?"

Han Mingqi frowned and thought for a while, "Ang, when I think about it, I said that I am used to it, and I have been doing this business for a long time, and I am not willing to do other things, and I will not do them." ”

"Truth?"

Han Mingqi nodded, "We both have this relationship, can we still lie to you?" ”

"Then why did you steal when you were a kid?"

"I don't know, I've been stealing from them since I can remember, and I don't know why."

"And do you remember those people?" Gu Changqing asked seductively, he always felt that Han Mingqi had something to do with Ling Feng's gang of abducting and selling children.

"Remember, those who stole with me remember, but I won't tell you, you should die for this, we have a good relationship, but this is a matter of principle, and it is also the morality of our business."

Gu Changqing nodded, "Okay, if you don't want to say this question, I won't ask, then do you remember who brought you to that place in the first place, do you have an impression?" ”

Han Mingqi took a long breath, "My Lord Gu, how old was I at that time, what can I remember?" But I can tell you, I'm not going to steal now, do you know why? ”

Gu Changqing shook his head and said, "I don't want to know." ”

After finishing speaking, he got up and left, Han Mingqi looked at his back and shouted angrily, "It's because of a woman, a woman, do you know?" I want to stand up in front of her, and I want to give him a stable and stable home with food and clothing. ”
