Chapter 12 Charity can really be whitewashed, don't believe it
I was helped back home by a few people, and the tears were already gone, and I was still choking, but just crying. I've never been so sad in my life, even when my dad left. They tried to persuade me, but I was tired, so I just waved them out, and then I collapsed on the bed. I want to sleep, and when I fall asleep, I forget all this, but I just can't sleep. I began to look back on my life, as if I had never done anything meaningful in my life. It's very easy to be unable to do something when you want to do it, and now, I'm trying to reflect on myself, thinking about it, but I'm falling asleep again.
I don't know how long I slept, but I woke up. My mind went blank and I forgot who I was. After a long time, I recalled, by the way, I was the hero of this Qingping County. But that doesn't seem right, and I remember doing something I've done to be sorry for everyone. I thought about it, but I couldn't remember, but I didn't have much time to think about it, people can't go a day without doing things, no, someone came to call me.
Zhang En walked in with a bowl of water, saw that I was awake, sighed, and whispered to me with a bitter face: "Brother Li, drink some water." ”
I nodded, Zhang En brought the water, I took it and took a sip, and suddenly I remembered something. I put down the water and asked Zhang En, "How much property do I have now?"
Zhang En was stunned for a moment and replied: "A total of two hundred and thirty taels of gold, two hundred and twenty-seven thousand eight hundred and twenty-one taels of silver, and ten boxes of jewelry and other miscellaneous items." ”
I nodded, and then asked, "How much do we earn from farming and doing business ourselves?"
"Only...... Three hundred and eighty taels. ”
"That's a lot...... I said to myself, "that's probably enough." I turned my head again and asked Zhang En, "Except for these three hundred and eighty taels, do the others belong to us?"
Zhang En was obviously puzzled, but he still replied: "These are all yours." ”
"No, no, no...... These are not mine. I said to him. "But you're going to say that these aren't mine, and they don't have any other owners...... Since it's mine, I can use them however I want, right?"
"Yes. ”
I paused for a moment and gritted my teeth, "Let's give all this money to the people." ”
Zhang En was shocked and said, "What did you say?
I nodded, "Since these are mine, then I want to distribute them to the people, do you have no opinion?"
Zhang En wiped his sweat, "No...... No, but are they really going to all disperse?"
I nodded with great certainty, "Except for what we earned ourselves, the rest will be scattered." ”
Zhang En stared at me for a long time, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with my brain, he said helplessly: "Okay, I'll arrange it now." ”
I'm glad that my brothers are still with me, in their words, one was a former thief, a bunch of former bandits, no one dislikes anyone, the important thing is that everyone wants to be a new person. Except for Tan Ke, she thinks that they are forced to be bandits, and I am a thief of my own volition, and we are different.
Anyway, with the help of my brothers, we quickly moved my property from home to the execution ground. Anyway, no one usually uses this place, so we will requisition it for the time being, and then I heard that the county magistrate drove several of the officials guarding the execution ground home for this matter.
I asked my brothers to post an announcement, and soon the execution ground was full of people. I was standing on the execution ground, with more than a dozen boxes of gold and silver jewelry behind me. The people below pointed at me, I saw that people were almost there, Zhang En also nodded to me to indicate that I could start, I pressed my hand, "Everyone be quiet!" When the people below calmed down, I arched my hand towards everyone, "Folks, I am a Li person, I was indeed a thief before, but I dare to touch my conscience and say that I have never stolen from a poor family." ”
There was a sigh below, I ignored them, cleared my throat, and continued: "But since I caught the bandits in the mountains, I haven't had, and I haven't thought about stealing. To show my determination to turn over a new leaf, I decided," I said, pointing to the treasure behind me, "and today, I'm going to scatter all this money!"
The pot exploded in an instant, some people didn't believe it, some people were excited, and some people scoffed.
One of the men shouted: "Do you think that in this way we will believe you? I tell you, I will not take anything from you, and if you dare to be a thief, you must be prepared not to be forgiven!"
To be honest, I was a little worried at the time, worried that there were many people like him who would not forgive me, until I saw him take two taels of silver from the scattered wealth point in charge of the Qitang.
The little girl from before broke away from her mother and ran up to me, beckoning to me and motioning for me to squat. I squatted to the height of her head, she suddenly hugged me and kissed me, giggling, "Mom said that knowing that mistakes can be corrected is a good child, don't do it again in the future!"
I smiled and nodded, and the little girl kissed me again, "Hehe, Nana likes heroes!" I blushed and said to the little girl with a smile: "I like Nana too, Nana has to be a good person, can't be like me!" She nodded, I asked her to go first, and then began to arrange for the dispersal of wealth.
Of course, who has money and who has no money in this county, who is poor and who is rich, who usually oppresses others, who treats people close and easy-going, I have made it clear to the dark department, and I have stipulated how much money different people give. Although there are some mistakes, they are generally quite appropriate. When I passed by the Qitang Wealth Dump, I saw Tan Ke kick away one of her own subordinates, saying, "You kid even dare to occupy the position of the old lady" and handed over a piece of gold to the old beggar in the east of the city, I was about to go up and talk, Tan Ke glared at me fiercely, I didn't dare to come out, lowered my head and slipped away quietly.
Everyone knows that when it comes to money, there will always be conflicts, not to mention the current situation, there will definitely be people who will have trouble with others in order to get more money. I watched as the people took their money from my scattered shop, some thanked me, some praised me, and as soon as I became a little happier, one of my brothers came to me in a hurry, and he rushed to me, panting and saying, "Helper, it's not good, someone is fighting!"
I frowned, stood up and asked him, "Don't worry, what's going on?"
"Wang Xiucai of Wufu Village, we all know that his family is poor, and he is very friendly to the neighbors, so he gave him some more money, and gave him a bracelet, who knew that Young Master Liu suddenly came out and insisted that the bracelet was his, we scolded him a few words, but he not only repented, but also beat people, and the brothers deliberately stopped him, but he also brought dozens of family members, if you don't go, Wang Xiucai will be beaten to death!"
I stood up suddenly, "How can this be!" and said to the brother, "Take me here!"
