Chapter 054: I don't explain
"So, you came to me because of this? If so, then you don't have to say anything, because no matter what you say, I will stick to my ideas and principles. I picked up the pear on the stone table and took a bite.
"I didn't say I wouldn't let you stick to your own ideas and principles." Wu Chengsi said lightly.
"What?" I was slightly stunned, a little surprised: "Didn't you come to persuade me?" β
I thought that Wu Chengsi would also tell me that this was impossible, and then persuade me to stop like Zhao Li and apologize to the Queen Mother.
As a result, I seem to be mistaken!
"When did I say I was going to persuade? I'm just saying that there's something serious, but I haven't said anything, and you've already said a bunch of things against it. β
Hearing this, I laughed dryly: "Okay, you say, this time I promise to listen to you finish speaking, and I will never interrupt you." β
"You~" Wu Chengsi laughed a little: "Being so troubled by you, I don't know where to start." β
"Then you can say it concisely and clearly, and don't waste time on each other."
"I find you really don't like me." Wu Chengji glared.
I smiled and flattened the corners of my mouth again: "Do you want to say it?" Not to mention that I went back to my room to rest. β
"Wait, I say!" Wu Chengsi hurriedly pulled me: "Actually, I want you to help me transport some things out of the city." β
I stared at him, then at him, and for a moment, I threw the half-bitten pear in my hand at him: "You're trying to trick me, aren't you?" Don't you have a carriage at home? Isn't there anyone in your family? If you want me to help you transport something, why should I do coolies for you? It's really a problem! β
"Gold, the gold in the treasury, ordinary people can't transport it."
"What did you say?" I was stunned and narrowed my eyes slightly: "Listen to what you mean, are you trying to drag me into the water?" β
Wu Chengsi hooked his lips and chuckled: "That's pretty much what it means." β
I laughed, laughing a little sarcastically: "I said Second Master Wu, your brain won't really get into the water, right?" Why do you think I'm going to help you? And if it's treasury silver, it's definitely not private property, right? If you tell me all this kind of thing, aren't you afraid that I will be bad for you? β
"If I were afraid, I wouldn't have told you."
I frowned and stared at him for a while.
Although Wu Chengsi is always cynical on weekdays, he doesn't look like a fool, so why does he have to look for me for this kind of head-killing thing?
After a moment of silence, I said coldly: "Reason, give me a reason that can help you." β
"Is this reason enough that this gold will be scattered to all parts of the country, and they are all people who have no rice to cook?"
Hearing this, I stroked my forehead helplessly, and a mirror had already appeared in my heart: "Enough is enough, but are you stupid?" You can help them for a while, but you can't help them for a lifetime. β
From Wu Chengsi's words, I already roughly know that Wu Chengsi is robbing the rich and helping the poor, and people with this kind of temperament, I don't disappreciate it, but I don't agree with it.
Because stealing is stealing, no matter how much reason you have, stealing other people's things is wrong, and Wu Chengsi's approach can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and has no practical benefits.
"How long have you been doing this?" Without waiting for him to speak, I asked again.
"It's been a few years too!" Wu Chengsi slowly spoke, and said: "Actually, over the years, I have created an organization with Dexiu, this organization is a little special, they are all people with similar interests, but there is one point, that is, no one knows anyone, and after observing it on weekdays, he thinks it is feasible, so he secretly pulls into the organization, so as to prevent betrayal, but you are exceptional, because you are very smart, I can fool you for a while, and I can't fool you for a lifetime." β
And the meaning of the existence of this organization is to help more poor people, hoping that they will not starve to death, but their power is also limited.
The whole Zhao country, or the whole world, is full of wars, the rich do not help the poor, the rich are full to death, but the poor can only grit their teeth, tighten their belts and live a day at a time, and even many people starve to death in the wilderness because they have no rice.
And in such a corrupt world, Wu Chengsi and Dexiu have long seen through it, but they have always been powerless.
I lazily raised my eyebrows: "You're not too stupid, there's really no point in lying to me, what I don't want to do, no one can make me nod." β
"And what do you mean?" Wu Chengji asked.
"Where's the thing?" I didn't answer the rhetorical question, but as soon as I finished asking, I said, "It can't be near Hualiu Alley, right?" β
"How do you know?" Wu Chengsi was a little surprised.
"Li Chunqin caught me three times, the first time because of the weapon, the second time because of the theft, and the location is in Hualiu Alley, if the theft Li Chunqin is chasing you, then you must not send things away from under his nose, so you can only find a place nearby to hide the gold."
Hearing this, Wu Chengsi smiled, with appreciation in his eyes: "Zhao girl, you are really smart, that's right, the thing is in Hualiu Alley, and it is in your Lanxi Building." β
"What?" My willow eyebrows furrowed, and my sharp eyes narrowed slightly: "You are not small, aren't you small?" I hid something on my territory, and if I were found out, wouldn't I have somehow become your comrade. β
Although I thought that things were in Hualiu Alley, but I didn't expect it to be hidden under my nose, no wonder Wu Chengsi said that he needed my help.
In the past, except for my mother, there were no guests in Lanxi Building, and they hid things there, which was indeed quite hidden, but now it is different, after he hid the gold, I started a business in Lanxi Building, and the flow of customers has also become a lot, if you don't want to alarm others, asking me for help is the best way.
"So, if you don't agree, you have to agree, if you don't agree, you can think of the hiding place, Li Chunqin can also think of it, so it's a matter of time before you find out, and I'm afraid you will be treated as a member of the same party at that time...... No, it should be said, you have long been treated as a comrade! Because didn't Li Chunqin catch you at that time? β
Hearing this, I also thought of something: "It turns out that that day, near Lanxi Tower, the other one who helped me was you?" β
"It's Dexiu!"
I snorted coldly, "It's the same whether it's you or your guards, anyway, you're now determined to drag me into the water." β
"If I could, I didn't want to do it, but yesterday afternoon, I had already received news that there is a village near the border in our country, where there is no harvest because of the war, and if they don't transport the gold out of the city for food, they will starve to death, so there is no time, and I can only ask you to help."
I pursed my lips and hesitated, on the one hand, it was my own moral bottom line, but on the other hand, human life was at stake, if I didn't help, I was afraid that the people in that village would die, if I helped......
Could it be that my dignified special forces soldiers also have to do these things of stealing chickens and dogs?
If I helped Wu Chengsi, then I would know the law and break the law, and I would become a fellow party who stole gold, and I would help the 'thief' to work, which touched my moral bottom line.
"Let me think about it first! I'll give you an answer tomorrow. I said.
Hearing this, Wu Chengsi didn't say anything more, just said, 'You think about it' and left.
Lying on the stone table in the courtyard, I thought and thought, but before I could come up with the result, another troublesome figure came.
"Don't you have anything to tell me?" Seeing that I had been silent, Li Chunqin looked at me and said.
I lazily raised my eyebrows: "What should I say?" β
"A lot! For example, Lanxi Building, or your tanuki for the prince, deceived me with a fake mask, or I can't do it if I capture you three times. β
"Now that you know everything, what's the difference between me and not?"
Li Chunqin stared at me and said, "I just want to ask you, does the theft of gold have anything to do with you?" β
"Nope!" Absolutely not before, and not necessarily in the future, I added in my heart.
"You promise?"
"Guaranteed?" I smiled coldly: "I said Li Chunqin, although your name is Li Chunqin, why are you so innocent?" I'm just giving you a guarantee, so what? Are you that naΓ―ve? Could it be that if I say no, you really won't doubt it in your heart? β
I paused for a moment, and then said: "You are the Imperial Doctor, your job is to supervise the Manchu Dynasty, you have to suspect me, I don't blame you, but if there is no evidence, please don't keep asking me questions." β
"But I've already determined that whether it's the weapons store or in Hualiu Alley, we have bumped into you in the second investigation, how do you explain this?"
"I don't explain." I snorted.
"Yan'er, you'd better answer me, because I don't want to treat you as a suspect." Li Chunqin's voice cooled down.
