Chapter 24: The Victims
The night of the summer solstice passed quickly.
Ji Que drank a lot of wine.
This plum wine is sweet to drink, but the stamina is not small.
With Ji Que's strength, he could easily dissolve the strength of the wine, just like Duan Yu could use the six-vein divine sword to force the wine out.
But he didn't want to.
Drinking should have the fun of drinking, and when the strength of the wine is dissolved, it is better to drink water.
It's just that when he woke up, he found that he was a little broken.
He didn't know how he got back to his bedroom bed, and he was still dirty, like he had rolled in the mud.
It was only at this time that Ji Que gradually remembered some of the things of last night, and couldn't help but blush.
Is there any serious illness in Lao Tzu?
He actually wanted to be Tang Yi's brother-in-law and brother-in-law.
Tang Yi won't be angry, right?
Hey, does he have any sisters and sisters, why did he break it at a critical time?
Last night's thoughts made Ji Que a little embarrassed, but Tang Yi was still like that, as if he was not affected at all, and behaved normally.
However, Ji Que's embarrassing time didn't last long, because his bad luck had escalated, and he had no time to take care of it.
The sudden advent of the "stage of dedication to financial protection" caught Ji Que off guard.
The last time he didn't have any silver, he only needed to use a little snack to pick up some silver from the thieves, and occasionally earn a little bounty, and he could break even, but this time he had a few hundred taels of silver in savings, and he suddenly couldn't make ends meet.
for the silver of the thieves and pickpockets was poor compared to the silver he had lost.
He had to be more attentive to it.
Like what......
There is a splash named Huang Si in Sangshui County, who is lazy and lazy, and likes to steal the silver of the elderly who live alone.
Because for him, the old man who lives alone can't beat and beat, he can't run fast, and he doesn't have a helper, so he is not afraid of stealing and is discovered, so he just robs it.
There was an old woman in the county who had been eyeing him for a long time.
The old woman has a son, after being admitted to Xiucai, he went to other places for many years and did not come back, and he heard the people around him say that he just didn't want to recognize her, but she still waited every day.
That day, Huang Si was so tight that he couldn't help but touch it, and as soon as the silver arrived, it was discovered.
The old woman chased after her like a madman, and finally fell down the street and bled all over the place, and he was freed from the entanglement.
Within a few days, the old woman was said to have died in bed, chanting her son's name.
Huang Si didn't pay attention to this, but was a little bored.
This kind of lonely old man, even if it is a major event like life and death, not many people pay attention to it.
This is all the old woman's own doing, take some silver and chase for her life, if you don't fall to death, who will you fall?
In Huang Si's heart, the silver of these old men should have been his, but it was only temporarily stored there.
The old fellow who is half cut into the ground, what is the use of taking the silver, it is better to give it to him and be happy.
I knew that I had to ask for money to go to the Qinglou Gambling House.
But on this day, Huang Si suddenly saw Ji Que.
Somehow, when he saw this young scholar, he really wanted to start.
Huang Si himself is also strange, he generally does not attack young people, even scholars who seem honest and cowardly.
Because there is a certain risk involved.
But this time, he found that he couldn't help it.
This scholar seems to have a great attraction, more tempting than the girls in the Qinglou who are dressed in transparent clothes and half-covered faces, which makes his hands itch terribly.
So Huang Si went, and was soon caught by Ji Que, who wanted to change his face and commit murder, but was beaten all over the ground looking for teeth.
Huang Si was remorseful for a while.
It's just for children and the elderly!
Since encountering the situation of making ends meet, Ji Que will not just pick up some silver on the other party and send it to the yamen, but will give him deeper care.
This time, Ji Que chose to "forgive" Huang Si, but only if he gave enough sincerity (silver).
In this way, Huang Si will not have to suffer from prison.
Huang Si didn't have much silver on his body, but he still had some ill-gotten gains over the years, thinking about breaking the wealth and avoiding disasters, as soon as his mind was relieved, he returned home and gave most of his savings to Ji Que, just begging the other party to let him go.
Ji Que was very kind, and after getting the silver, he twisted off his stolen right hand on the spot, slapped a brick and stunned, and then twisted it to the government to see if there was a bounty.
Huang Si arrived at the Yamen, and soon after waking up, he was convicted and put in prison.
Like other thieves and pickpockets who fell into the hands of Ji Que, Huang Si came out of the prison and had the urge to return to the yamen to avenge his grievances.
No matter how you look at it, he's more like a victim.
That scholar has no conscience!
cheated him out of his savings, not to mention, and crippled his hand.
With such a he, it will be difficult to steal and rob again, how can he live!
It's a pity that life is so cruel, if you can't live, you will die.
The second half of this sentence is the original words of Xue Zhutou in the yamen.
Whether it is the county order or Xue Zhutou, now they all hate these short-eyed thieves.
Since the incident of the Wind Lotus Sect, the entire county government has been very polite to Ji Que.
Polite to death.
Every time Ji Que sent these thieves, they were not good at telling the truth every time, saying that these people had no rewards.
In order to establish a good relationship, several times, the county government could only issue a reward for the arrested person on the spot, and the county magistrate tearfully paid a bounty to Ji Que out of his own pocket.
Ji Que didn't know the truth, but he was very moved, and he was moved that his luck had gotten better, and there was even a bounty.
Huang Si, who was in prison, returned to the house in rags, thinking that all the savings he had worked hard to steal for several years had been taken clean by the scholar, and his right hand had been abolished, and it was difficult to hold chopsticks, so he couldn't help but be angry and angry.
"Hybrids, dead mongrels."
"I just stole a little money from him, and he actually wasted my hand, how can there be such a vicious person in this world?"
"Dog officer, the dog catches quickly, and is complicit!"
For a moment, Huang Si's entire face was distorted.
He was locked up for two months, his house was empty, and he was covered with a lot of cobwebs.
Huang Si lay on the dirty bed, thinking about where to steal and grab some to maintain his life.
If this continues, let alone gambling, you can't afford to eat meat.
In the entire Sangshui County, no one knows better about the existence of the lonely and widowed old people in the city than Huang Si.
He quickly remembered someone.
A very old woman in the west of the city, still blind.
He hadn't done it before, and that was because the old woman didn't seem to have much money.
But now the situation is different, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat.
Get some money from the old woman, and at least get a few good meals.
After being in the cell for so long, his beak was about to fade out of the bird.
Thinking of this, Huang Si couldn't sit still, put a sharp knife on his body, and went out wearing a hat.
The blind old woman lived in the west of the city, not far from here.
