Chapter Thirty-Six: Wealth Touches People's Hearts
These neighbors who come have guys in their hands, and when something like this happens, they won't stay at home, because the next time they encounter a thief at home, you don't care about it this time, and no one will help you next time.
A strong and bold man, carrying a stick in his hand, slowly led everyone into the house.
When they saw two masked black-clothed men on the ground through the moonlight, everyone hurriedly carried lamps to illuminate the house brighter, and Zhuangzi turned them over and probed their noses.
"Still alive, you guys, hurry up and report the case to the mayor's house."
"Little lady, go find a rope."
The man may have encountered this incident, and he arranged it unhurriedly, and two women accompanied Qiao Mai and found two ropes in the warehouse.
The two thieves were tied up, and no one said a word, just waiting for the mayor to come.
After all, the mayor of the town is a handful of years, and it took a long time to arrive.
Seeing the thieves on the ground, the mayor asked them to take them to the courtyard, after all, this is someone's bedroom.
The lights were on, and the mayor was sitting in a chair.
"Qiao's, tell me what's going on first?"
Qiao Mai wiped a handful of tears and trembled her lips.
"I really shouldn't be dead today, I drank more water at night, I heard a sound in the door when I got up at night, I was so scared that I quickly picked up the stick for self-defense and got off the kang, and hid behind the door, and when they probed, I took advantage of the moonlight, picked up the stick with both hands, and smashed it down according to their heads, and then they fell, and then I was so frightened that I ran to the courtyard and shouted for help, and this is how it happened, woo woo woo, scared to death."
"Alright, don't cry, it's okay."
The guards brought by Mayor Chong snorted, "Look who these two are?" ”
The guards bent down and tore off the black cloth on their faces and looked at it, "Mayor Town, these two people don't know each other, and they don't look like our town." ”
"Rabbits don't eat the grass on the edge of the nest, and they know that they have stolen from our town, and they are searched for them."
In a few clicks, the guards searched for drugs, daggers and other tools of crime.
Human evidence, physical evidence, all there, in front of so many people, the mayor of the town wants to interrogate the purpose of their coming here.
"Qiao's, you sell ice, do you have melted ice water?"
"Yes, I'll pick it up"
Qiao Mai went to the kitchen and brought a small basin of cold water, and the guard took it and splashed it directly on the heads of the two thieves.
It really worked, a spirit-stirring person woke up, but because of the blow on the head, people were swaying.
It took a long time to wake up, and when I saw so many people, I knew that the matter was exposed.
The guard stepped forward and kicked them twice, "The mayor is here, you better be honest and be careful of the flesh and skin." ”
The two of them looked like habitual offenders, and they confessed obediently.
"My lord, we are from the town in the north, and we came to Tianshui Town a while ago, and I accidentally saw that this little lady's business was very good, so I moved my heart to steal."
"Have you been caught before?"
"Caught."
"Have you ever been sentenced?"
"Sentenced."
"I've been sentenced and still don't repent?"
"My lord, it's really a touching fortune, there's no way, who called this little lady's business so good, she made such a mistake at a glance."
The mayor got up, "Escort these two people back, and send them to the county government office tomorrow." ”
"Yes, sir."
Qiao Mai opened his mouth, but swallowed it back, wanting to say that they were instructed by others, but the words came to his lips but did not come out.
The reason given by the thief is reasonable, and if he says anything more, it is as if he deliberately buttoned their hats.
She didn't want the mayor to look at her annoyance, and it was good not to be angry at such an old age in the middle of the night.
Some regret not making a dead hand, entering the house to steal, being caught in the middle of the night, and dying in the house, the government can't say anything, there is this article in the law.
It's that these two thieves must have families, and if they are killed, there may be more trouble later.
The most direct way is to kill it, throw it in a place where no one is, and sweep away all traces.
However, this is not necessarily a bad thing, after the two thieves are released from prison, they will definitely find the person who instructed them, it is difficult to say whether they can fight or not, at least they can make the person behind them bleed.
She cheered herself up in her heart, and when everyone saw that the matter was over, they returned home with their families, and the two women kindly comforted her before leaving.
Qiao Mai plugged in the courtyard door, and his eyes immediately changed from grievance to coldness.
If you are like yourself, you can't attract men to covet it at all, at most it is attracted by money.
She obviously heard that there was a man who wanted to destroy his innocence, and it was definitely someone behind him.
She closed her eyes and thought about it, the Qiao family is impossible, they don't have that guts, then, only the Tian family, no matter how vicious those two old people are, but they don't know such a person, the most likely is Tian Yaozu, he studied in the town and knows many people, he was humiliated at the door of the shop that day, and it is not impossible to find someone to teach him a lesson.
Qiao Mai took a deep breath, "Tian Yaozu, you'd better pray every day to bless your little life, if one day Fan is in the hands of the old lady, I will let you survive and die." ”
Damn, if he sent someone to kill her, he wouldn't be so angry.
He sent someone to insult himself, so there is nothing to say, this is a mortal enemy, and it is impossible to resolve it in a lifetime. 、
She didn't go back to the space that night, and she stayed on the kang in the bedroom until dawn.
After Shopkeeper Lu knew about this, the shop didn't open, so he rushed here with people.
Qiao Mai opened the courtyard door, and Lu Sanniang held her in her arms.
"Oh, my little heart, when I heard this, it scared me, you can't have anything, my sister is all pointing to you."
was originally quite moved, but when she heard the last sentence, Qiao Mai glared at her several times and pushed her away, and the four little girls behind her all covered their mouths and laughed.
"Don't worry, they will rob the most money, and I will not be insulted like this."
"Why don't you move to my house?"
"No, there are people in the neighborhood here who are fine, and it's inconvenient for me to toss there."
Shopkeeper Lu took her hand and looked left and right, "Is it really okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's just a thief, and it's inevitable for big families, not to mention that I'm a single woman."
"Maybe you've been too eye-catching lately, right?"
"You should be the one who attracts people's eyes, I am a descendant of your family, and I should hand over the money I make in business to you."
Hearing this, Lu Sanniang's heart moved, and she whispered:
"I think those two may have been instructed by someone to put money on them to ruin your reputation?"
Qiao Mai didn't expect that she would be able to guess the purpose of stealing because of a sentence.
"It's a pity that there is no evidence, as soon as they entered the door, they knocked me unconscious, and the mayor came, woke them up and confessed directly."
"Could the person behind them be the Tian family?"
Qiao Mai smiled, his eyes flashed, "There is no evidence, let's not guess." ”
"Do you want my girl to come over and accompany you at night?"
"No need, I'll have two dogs after a while, and they'll wake me up whenever there's any movement."
"You!"
"No one dares to come in a short time, don't worry."
"Are you still out of the stall today?"
"Come out, the weather is fine, you can't delay making money."
The five people helped Qiao Mai carry things to the trolley and pushed them together to the front of the embroidery village.
Shopkeeper Lu went to open the shop door, and the others helped her set up the pergola and set the table, and only after everything was done did she go back to the shop at the back.
Qiao Mai stretched his waist and looked at the blue sky, making money so happily.
As soon as she sat down, the vendors on the beach around her, as well as the people who walked back and forth to know her, all asked her with concern.
"Little lady, was you scared last night?"
"Fortunately, the thieves didn't even enter the house, so I was knocked unconscious."
"You can make so much money, why don't you buy two girls as companions?"
"All the money I earned was handed over to the shopkeeper, and if I have money, it is also the monthly money given by the shopkeeper, and those two thieves have found the wrong master."
"They didn't do anything to you, did they?"
