Chapter 2223 2225【Nonsense】
"No." Catcher Xing shook his head, "Last night, there was an all-night interrogation, and everyone had evidence of their alibi. So everyone hit the wrench and put them all back."
"You don't have any evidence, why do you want to beat someone?" Guo Furong asked angrily when she heard this.
"Be forewarned, it will save them from getting hotheaded and itchy hands when they get it." Catcher Xing said confidently.
Hearing what he said, Lu Xiucai and Tong Xiangyu both showed expressions of unbearable.
"Then what are you going to do next?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.
"Thieves have to sell their stolen goods. I plan to search all the **** shops within a radius of fifty miles, no, within fifty-five miles." Xing Butou replied.
"You don't feel too tired to panic." Guo Furong said in surprise.
"The more tiring is yet to come," Lao Xing said again, "If you can't find the **** shop, you have to search the antique shop, and if you can't find the antique shop, you have to search the cultural relic stall. I had no choice but to go to the brothel."
"Brothhouse?" Tong Xiangyu asked puzzled.
"I think, if the thief doesn't sell the stolen goods, maybe he will give it to a good friend." Lao Xing laughed.
"Oh~" Everyone suddenly realized.
"What if you still can't find it?" Xiang Nan asked again.
"Oh, that's going to be a big trouble. My mother, it may affect my career." When Lao Xing heard this, he didn't even feel like eating pancakes and rice porridge. He suddenly looked at passers-by and shouted, "That boy, stop and say you what~"
As he spoke, he put down the pancakes and chased after the passers-by.
…
In the next few days, Xing Butou searched pawnshops, antique shops, cultural relics stalls, and brothels, but still found nothing, so he targeted everyone with suspicion, frequently stopping people on the street to search, which was very annoying bother.
As the **** shop theft case continued to ferment, it also made people panic and restless. As soon as it is dark, close the door and close the house, and reduce going out if you have nothing to do, lest you will be stolen by thieves.
This made Qixia Town almost reduced to a ghost town. There were no pedestrians on the street during the day, and it was even darker at night.
Tongfu Inn's business is naturally greatly affected. In the past, there were so many customers that we had to wait for a number, but now we can't get a few customers a day, and Tong Xiangyu is almost worried to death.
"How could this happen?" Seeing such a situation, Guo Furong was very surprised.
She just wanted to steal from the rich and give to the poor, but she didn't expect that it would cause such serious consequences.
"It's not all your instigation." Tong Xiangyu couldn't help complaining to Guo Furong, "Our Qixia Town has always been safe and sound, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Okay, because of this robbery, people are panicking now. People are afraid to go out to spend, many stores can't survive, and even the shop assistants have been dismissed. "
"Several clerks ran out of money and couldn't find new jobs, so they were thinking about joining the Beggar Gang." Lu Xiucai added.
"People are having a hard time. In order to avoid going out, everyone is scrambling to hoard rice and vegetables. Now the prices of vegetables and rice have soared, and many people can't open their homes." Xiang Nan also said.
"Even our academy has suspended classes because of this." Mo Xiaobei also complained.
"It doesn't matter if it's just our place. There are also Zuojiazhuang and Shibalipu who heard that there are thieves here. No one dares to come here. Those driving carts have no business." Tong Xiangyu said again.
"Zhaozhuang, Gaojiazhuang, Majiahezi, those who dig tunnels, open tea shops, sell rouge, play tricks..." The scholar also counted with his fingers.
…
At night, Bai Zhantang was dressed in night clothes.
"Old Bai, are you going out again?" Seeing this, Guo Furong asked hastily.
"Yes, I found out that Qiu Yuanwai's family has an authentic painting of Wu Daozi. It will be sold, at least for this amount!" Lao Bai stretched out his hand and said, "Just wait for the good news of my victory."
"Don't, don't go." Guo Furong immediately stopped her when she saw it.
"What's the matter, didn't you expect me to go before?" Bai Zhantang looked at her and said.
"I still don't want it." Guo Furong waved her hand and said, "I never thought that just throwing a finger wrench would cause such a big mess.
Now, when I go out and have a look, people are panic everywhere, acquaintances don’t dare to say hello when they meet each other, they cover their purses everywhere, and everyone looks like a thief. Is this still how people live? "
"You finally figured it out." Bai Zhantang nodded, "Do you know why I quit the arena? It's because I see through it.
What is the way of stealing? It's all nonsense, a thief is a thief, there is no distinction between a good thief and a bad thief, is it called chivalry if you just steal something, grab something and give it away?
Take this matter as an example. Although the thing is small, it can be snapped with a finger, but the bad influence it caused is indelible. The social order is chaotic, the social atmosphere is bad, and the trust between people disappears in an instant. no deposit.
If these are so-called justice, then I would rather not have this kind of stolen justice. "
Guo Furong suddenly realized when he heard what he said.
"Well said, Lao Bai~" Xiang Nan led the scholar out of the room and said.
"Old Bai, why didn't you say these words earlier?" Xiucai also said with emotion.
"Tell me earlier, do you believe it yourself?" Bai Zhantang laughed, "Besides, there are some things that seeing is believing."
"Don't say anything, just say what you just said, I believe you." Lu Xiucai nodded.
"Eh, I have always believed in you." The shopkeeper also came out and said.
"Guo Furong, how about you?" Bai Zhantang looked at Guo Furong and said.
"Me too." Guo Furong nodded.
"Then take it out." Bai Zhantang stretched out his hand and said.
"What?! Oh!" Guo Furong immediately remembered, and returned the finger to Bai Zhantang.
"I'll send it back tonight, otherwise, Qixia Town will become a town of blindness." Bai Zhantang laughed.
After Bai Zhantang left, Guo Furong still stood there, a little worried.
"What's the matter, you haven't figured it out yet?" Seeing this, Xiang Nan asked curiously.
"Understood, but I still have a small question, why do you think so many people have been singing the praises of robbing the rich and helping the poor for thousands of years?" Guo Furong asked puzzled.
"It's very simple, because it's the poor who sing the praises of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. They think that their own interests will not be lost, but may benefit from it, so they will praise this behavior vigorously." Xiang Nan explained, "But once When their interests are damaged, they will definitely not think so.
Like the one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan, those who have received their favor naturally call them heroes who have done justice for the heavens. But those who were made into meat buns by Sun Erniang, those who were gouged out by Wang Xiaohu to make sober soup, and those who were hacked to death by Li Kui with two axes, naturally they are called bandits. "
"Really?" Guo Furong was dubious when she heard Xiang Nan's words.
