On the second day, Yu Muyan got up early and came to the door deck to breathe fresh air. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At this moment, I heard the door of the next room creak open, and a woman came out of it, wearing a gold necklace that did not match the other clothes, and hurriedly left into the first room in front of her. From the crack in the door that had not been completely closed, Yu Muyan saw a man lying on the bed in the room, it was the boy who caused her hatred last night.

I didn't think this person lived next door, so who was that woman just now? Was it last night?

Thinking that the lonely man and widow next door might be in bed last night, Yu Muyan was shy for a while, and she didn't dare to imagine it.

Alas, there are all kinds of people in this world, and this woman actually sells her body for a little money. In this regard, Yu Muyan couldn't figure it out in her pure heart.

After a while, Yu Muyan and the two of them came to the restaurant to enjoy breakfast, and halfway through the meal, they saw that Brother Gongzi also came over, but there was still one person and one table, and no other guests seemed to be willing to be with them. The woman who had come out of Childe's room had now taken off her gold necklace, as if she didn't know Childe, passed by her, and went straight to the other table to chat with another old woman.

Yu Muyan let out a long sigh and cast a disdainful look at the woman.

"What's the matter? Yu Nuxia, has this girl offended you?" asked a little curiously.

"No, it's just that I can't get used to these money-obsessed money slaves. Yu Muyan probably told the pot what she saw in the morning, and then cast a curious look at the woman.

The young woman was chatting with an elderly woman across from her, when the waiter came to serve them a large plate of pastries, with beautiful green onions scattered on the dough, and the fragrance wafted in, which made people whet their appetite at the sight.

The young woman picked up a piece of bread and gently swept the green onion off the surface, handed it to the old woman opposite, who shook her head, motioned for her to put it down, and then reached for the cake herself.

After dinner, the two of them went up to the open-air deck on the top floor of the cruise ship to play, and there were several coffee tables on the deck for everyone to drink tea and bask in the sun and enjoy the scenery, and the two picked one and sat down.

When I was bored, I habitually looked around with a pot, and saw another middle-aged man walking up the stairs, just in time to meet an oncoming young man, the young man bowed slightly to the middle-aged man respectfully, and walked down the stairs.

The middle-aged man sat down at the table next to him, took out a copy of the Analects from his bosom, and began to read it carefully.

"This gentleman must be a sage sect, right?" Yu Muyan asked politely when she saw the Analects in the middle-aged man's hand.

"I can't talk about the sage sect, I'm just a teacher in a private school in a small town. The middle-aged man laughed.

"Then let me ask Mr. about the matter, what do you think about the fact that the wicked man committed murder but there is no evidence to bring him to justice? Is it for the justice of the rivers and lakes, to punish the evil and eliminate the traitor, or to let it go and deal with it according to the law after he is exposed?" Yu Muyan seemed to be still haunted by the argument between last night and the pot, and at this time, she caught a teacher who had read all the books of the sages, and wanted to ask his opinion.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This question is a bit difficult. However, there is a sentence in the Confucian classics: "If you accumulate bad things, you will have aftermath, that is to say, the wicked will naturally have evil retribution, and as for when, how, and by whom? This is not something that we Confucians can explain. ”

"Confucianism advocates the rule of virtue, which believes that no matter whether human nature is good or evil, morality can be used to influence education, and it is not applicable to the extremely evil people you say, so it is in vain for you to ask. Sitting on the side, hearing Yu Muyan's question, he took a pot and smiled at Yu Muyan.

Yu Muyan did not get strong evidence to prove her opinion, and sat a little sullenly and stopped talking.

"This brother seems to have studied Confucian sacredness as well. The middle-aged man saw that he was sloppy and unkempt in his clothes, which was incompatible with the way of Confucianism, but he seemed to have read a sage book for a few years when he heard his remarks just now, so he asked curiously.

"I don't dare to research, I've only read a book for a few years. It's not like sir, the world is full of peaches and plums, and the man I met at the staircase just now is also a protégé of Mr., right?" asked with a smile.

"Hmmm? You said that the man just now? He and I only met on this cruise ship, and we just met. The middle-aged man replied.

"Oh. He replied softly with a pot, and then fell silent.

After a while, there were more and more people in the rest area on the top deck, after all, after breakfast, there was nowhere to go on this boat, so everyone came to this deck to bask in the sun and chat.

At this time, the young man who had greeted Mr. Teach also came back to sit and chatte with everyone, and the things he talked about gradually aroused the interest of the whole ship. He was talking about rumors of river thieves on the Yangtze River.

"Do you know that there is a river thief on the Yangtze River who specializes in robbing long-distance ships like ours?" The man went straight to the point, arousing the strong interest of the audience.

"This is nonsense, right? The Yangtze River is turbulent, and the cliffs on both sides of the river are extremely steep, where can the river thieves hide?" someone asked strangely.

"This is not clear, anyway, this is the top secret information of the government, it is said that there have been several cruise ships that have been robbed before, all in the dead of night, the river thieves sneaked into the room, looted the valuables, and when they woke up the next day, the guests found that all their belongings were gone. The man said with relish.

"If something this big happened, why haven't we heard of it?" someone asked, confused.

"This information has been kept secret by the government, because no one has seen the true face of the river thief, and the yamen along the coast have also dispatched search and arrest teams, all of which have returned in vain, and it has become an unsolved case. The people in the government are not stupid, and if this matter is spread out, first, it will cause panic among the people, and no one will dare to take the cruise ship again; second, they will show their incompetence and will not be able to solve the case, and thus lose the support of the people; third, the major cruise ship merchants will definitely stuff a lot of money and goods into the yamen for their own business to continue, and let them help keep it secret. So this matter was concealed, and it was our people who suffered in the end. The man sighed.

"Since these are government secrets, how do you know so clearly?" someone asked rhetorically.

"I have a friend in the yamen who inadvertently revealed it one day after getting drunk. The man smiled brightly.

"In that case, then you dare to board this ship?

"There's no way, now there's only one way to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, how can you get it without taking a boat?" the man lamented.

In fact, most of the people on the ship had urgent matters to go west, so they gritted their teeth and got on the ship despite the pain of the cruise ship sitting on the ground, and they didn't want the rumors of the river thieves to be true.

At this time, the bartender of the cruise ship happened to come over to serve wine and tea to the guests, and after hearing the man's description, he said softly to everyone: "I won't tell you, this river thief is true, I have experienced it once, and I am afraid to think about it now." ”

As soon as they heard that someone else had confirmed the rumors, everyone hurriedly asked for details.

Someone had already brought a chair to the bartender and asked him to sit down and talk slowly.

The bartender was not polite, and after sitting down, he began to describe: "That was a year ago, when I was working on another ship, and I was on this route. I remember one night, I went to patrol the deck as usual, and I always felt a dark wind behind me, but every time I turned around, I saw an empty deck, and there was nothing unusual, so I didn't bother with it, and after a routine walk around all the decks, I went back to the house to rest. I didn't think of getting up the next day, I heard everyone say that their room was burglarized, at first the passengers pointed the finger of suspicion at our crew, asked to search our room, and finally turned the bottom upside down and didn't find anything, this matter after arriving at the destination, they also made trouble with the government, saying that our cruise ship is a black ship, specializing in stealing passing passengers, but after a detailed investigation, the government really couldn't find evidence to prove that we stole the passengers' property, and finally suppressed the case, gathered the passengers closed the door for a morning meeting, and no one talked about it after the end。 At that time, I still felt inexplicable, but when I heard this guest talk today, I felt that it was very likely that the case was also committed by the river thief, and I didn't expect this river thief to be so powerful. ”

"Look, I didn't lie to you, did I?" At this time, his remarks were corroborated by others, and the man smiled happily at everyone.

After listening, everyone lost the mood to play, and hurriedly went back to the house one by one to sort out their belongings and hide them, so as not to run into river thieves if they were really unlucky. And at night, everyone locked the doors and windows tightly, and did not dare to go out.

"If there are really river thieves on this river, I really hope they can come so that we can eliminate the harm for the people. And Yu Muyan looked like she was not afraid of heaven and earth, and said with a smile.

"Miss Yu, I look forward to meeting bandits and wicked people every day, and you are the first person in history, haha. "Laugh after a pot.

"It is incumbent upon you to punish evil and promote good! Besides, these thieves are definitely not the opponents of the eldest brother, isn't it also a good thing to clean up along the way?" Yu Muyan said with a smile.

"What if I am not invincible? Isn't it a sheep in the mouth of a tiger to be slaughtered? Laughing, he drank a pot and walked off the deck to the side of the boat to cool off and blow the breeze.

When he got up, he caught a glimpse of the teacher at the next table, still reading the Analects in his hand intently, and turned a deaf ear to the rumors of the river thief just now.

Do you think that as a scholar, there are not many valuables that can enter the eyes of the river thief?
