Chapter 250: Deep-seated prejudices
After listening to everything, the old man bent down heavily.
"Thank you for your teaching, I will keep it in mind!"
Early the next morning, Lin Wan went to the surrounding villages again.
When he saw everyone smiling and energetic, Lin Wan smiled with relief.
"Come on, everyone, a better day is not far away!"
People are willing to work because they have hope in their hearts, and these hopes will eventually be transformed into great power.
Even without him, these people would still be able to live a good life.
As soon as he returned to the county office in the afternoon, the little whirlwind hurriedly greeted him.
"Big brother, you can be regarded as back, something is wrong!"
As long as it is not a formal occasion, he still calls Lin Wan the eldest brother.
No way, who let you get used to it?
Lin Wan frowned slightly.
"What?"
"Alas, three sentences and two sentences can't be said clearly, you better come with me."
He hurriedly pulled Lin Wan in the direction of the market.
At the same time, the market was surrounded by a large number of people, and quarrels in the center could be heard from a long distance.
"I've said it countless times, I didn't steal your money, do you understand?"
"Let's just come here and buy something, don't wronged the good guys, okay?"
It was the few people who had just recruited An, and the two who took the lead were the black blind man and Lei Ao.
They were indeed arranged in the suburbs, and today they just went to the county to buy some daily necessities.
But I didn't have to buy much, so I made this incident.
"I'll say it one last time, I didn't steal!"
"Get out of the way, let me wait!"
The store is not relenting.
"You said you didn't steal, you didn't steal, you just left my store, and there was less silver on the counter of my store, who stole it if you didn't steal?"
"Everyone comes to judge and want to leave after stealing the money, how can there be such a good thing?"
The crowd immediately responded.
"It's too much, my hands and feet are not clean just now, and I won't be able to rebel against the sky in the future?"
"I used to rob silver, but now it's stealing silver, and it's really a dog who can't change eating."
"The county magistrate is still too merciful to these guys, according to me, they should all be thrown into the water prison!"
The accusations around him grew louder and louder, and all the fingers were pointed at a few people.
The two brothers clenched their fists tightly, and that was called a hate.
"We didn't take it! Don't you understand people! ”
"What I hate most in my life is that others have wronged Lao Tzu, you can try it again!"
"Come on, come on, say it again, see if Lao Tzu doesn't tear your broken mouth for you!"
They have been treated coldly since they first entered the market, and all the shops have ignored them, and they don't even bother to take a look.
Now he is wrongfully stealing silver, and his heart can no longer hold back.
The shopkeeper took two steps back, then immediately puffed up his chest.
"Look at it, the true nature is revealed, I said a long time ago that these guys can't be changed!"
"This is the county, not a cottage for you, you are not allowed to do whatever you want!"
"Folks, give me a copy of the guys, let's break off with these guys today."
With the fanning of the shop, the anger of the onlookers was also mobilized, and they all pointed the finger at the black blind man and others.
Again, deep-seated prejudices can't be changed.
Lei Ao looked at the two of them.
"Tell me honestly, did you take the silver?"
"If you take it, you will obediently hand it over to others, and you still think we are not conspicuous enough, right?"
As soon as he came to the county, he gave his younger brother a death order, that is, to control his hands and feet, and not to look for trouble.
Who would have thought that it had only been two days, and trouble would come, and this would be done?
The two of them fell to their knees with a thud.
"I didn't take it, I really didn't take it, you have to believe me!"
"I am willing to vouch for my life, if I take it, then let me thunder five times a day, and I will not die well!"
Lei Ao looked at the black blind man in embarrassment.
Although he believed that the two did not take it, it was a pity that his trust was not worth mentioning.
The black blind man looked at the shopkeeper.
"How much money have you lost?"
"Five taels."
The shopkeeper gestured.
The black blind man shook his hand and gave him ten taels of silver.
"This is ten taels of silver, which can be regarded as compensation for you, this matter is okay, right?"
Obviously, he was preparing to go bankrupt.
After all, the matter is getting bigger, and the most difficult thing to do is definitely Lin Wan.
"Gone."
Several people were about to leave the place, but they were stopped before they could take two steps.
"Wait, shall I let you go?"
"You think it's okay to lose some silver, how can it be so simple, the rules in our store are to steal one and pay ten, you should pay fifty taels of silver."
Even the black blind man frowned.
It's really a lion who opens his mouth and thinks about money like crazy.
"Please make it clear, we didn't steal the silver."
The shopkeeper was immediately amused.
"Didn't you steal it? Why do you have to pay if you didn't steal it? Isn't this a typical thief? ”
"Let's judge who else is the thief who steals the silver."
This time, the black blind man and the others jumped into the Yellow River, and they couldn't wash it away.
The two brothers drew their swords from their waists with their backhands.
"I can't bear it anymore, I really can't bear it anymore, I fought with them!"
"Even if the blame comes down at that time, just take my life, and it's much better to be beheaded than to be wrongfully killed by these guys!"
The atmosphere of the scene is tense, and a sky-high duel may break out at any time.
The black blind man tried his best to stop it, but it had little effect.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the crowd.
"County Magistrate Lin is here."
The congested crowd immediately made way of a road, and Lin Wan hurried over.
"Put the guys down."
He spoke lightly.
The people at the scene put down their guys one after another, and the two brothers also put down their weapons, only the shopkeeper pulled his neck and roared.
"Why do you put down the guy? Obviously, they thought about doing it first! ”
"County Magistrate Lin, arrest these guys soon, they will never change their ways."
Lin Wan looked at him lightly.
"I told you to put the guy down, don't you understand?"
Although the words are plain, there is some indescribable magic in them.
In desperation, the shopkeeper could only throw away the hoe in his hand.
Although the guy is down, his mouth will not be idle.
"County Magistrate Lin, you have to call the shots for me no matter what, you are responsible for recruiting these guys, and you said that they will definitely restrain their words and deeds."
"But it's only been a few days, and they dare to steal silver, and they will not be lawless in the future?"
"County Magistrate Lin, I beg you, for the sake of our lives, dispose of these guys!"
The shopkeeper said with tears in his eyes, which was called a moving one.
However, this rhetoric also successfully attracted the approval of the surrounding people.
"I really have to think of a way, and I don't dare to let the chaos come again."
"The previous worries were still justified, but I didn't expect them to come true so soon."
