Chapter 24 Victim

The night of the summer solstice passed quickly.

Ji Que drank a lot of wine.

This green plum wine tastes sweet, but its staying power is quite strong.

With Ji Que's strength, he could easily neutralize the alcohol, just like Duan Yu could force the alcohol out with the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

But he didn't want to.

Drinking should be fun, and if the alcohol intensity is gone, it’s better to drink water.

But when he woke up, he found that he was a little fragmented.

He didn't know how he got back to the bedroom and bed. He was still dirty, as if he had rolled in the mud.

It was only then that Ji Que gradually remembered some things from last night, and couldn't help but blush.

Is there something serious about me?

He actually wanted to be Tang Yi's brother-in-law and brother-in-law.

Tang Yi won't be angry, right?

Hey, does he have any younger sisters? Why was the film cut off at the critical moment?

Ji Que was a little embarrassed by his thoughts last night, but Tang Yi remained the same, as if he was not affected at all and acted normally.

However, Ji Que's embarrassing moment did not last long, because his bad luck escalated and he had no time to care.

The sudden arrival of the "dedicated wealth preservation stage" caught Ji Que off guard.

When he didn't have much money last time, he just had to pick up some money from thieves with a little effort, and occasionally earn some bounties, and he could balance his expenses. But this time, after he had a few hundred taels of silver saved, he suddenly had a little trouble.

Living beyond one's means.

Because the money on those thieves and pickpockets is poor compared to the money they lost.

He had to be more attentive.

for example

There is a rogue named Huang Si in Sangshui County. He is very lazy and loves to steal money from the elderly who live alone.

Because for him, an old man living alone can't be beaten, can't run fast, and doesn't have helpers. He doesn't have to worry if he's caught stealing, he can just rob him.

There was an old woman in the county whom he had been eyeing for a long time.

The old woman had a son who, after passing the examination as a scholar, went abroad for many years and did not come back. People around her said that they just didn’t want to recognize her, but she still waited eagerly every day.

That day, Huang Si was short of money and couldn't help but touch in. As soon as he got the money, he was discovered.

The old woman chased him like crazy, and finally accidentally fell heavily on the street, bleeding all over the floor. Only then did he get rid of the entanglement.

A few days later, it was said that the old woman who had been injured in the fall died of illness in bed, muttering her son's name all the time.

Huang Si didn't take it to heart, but was a little bored.

Even for such a lonely old man, not many people pay attention to such important matters as life and death.

This is all what the old woman asked for. She took some money and chased her without her life. If you don't kill her, who are you going to kill?

In Huang Si's heart, these old people's money should have been his, it was just there temporarily.

What's the use of money for an old guy who's half buried in the ground? It's better to give it to him to live happily.

If I had known, going to a brothel or gambling house would cost money.

But on this day, Huang Si suddenly saw Ji Que.

For some reason, when he saw this young scholar, he wanted to take action.

Huang Si himself was surprised. He usually would not attack young people, even those who seemed to be honest and cowardly scholars.

Because there will be certain risks.

But this time, he found that he couldn't help it.

This scholar seemed to be extremely attractive, even more attractive than the girls in the brothel who were wearing transparent clothes and half-covering their faces. It made his hands itch so much.

So Huang Si went there and was quickly caught by Ji Que. He wanted to change his face and commit murder, but was beaten with teeth all over the floor.

Huang Si felt regretful for a moment.

We should only attack children and the elderly!

Ever since he was unable to make ends meet, when Ji Que encountered pickpockets or thieves again, he would not just pick up some money and send them to the Yamen, but would give them more profound care.

This time, Ji Que chose to "forgive" Huang Si, but only if he gave enough sincerity (money).

In this case, Huang Si will not have to suffer the pain of prison.

Huang Si didn't have much money with him, but he still had some ill-gotten gains over the years. Thinking of losing money and avoiding disaster, he relaxed and returned home, giving most of his savings to Ji Que, just begging him to let him go.

.

Ji Que was very kind. After getting the money, he broke off his stolen right hand on the spot, knocked him unconscious with a brick, and then took it to the government in a familiar way to see if there was any reward.

Huang Si arrived at the Yamen. After waking up, he was quickly convicted and put in prison.

Like other thieves and pickpockets who fell into the hands of Ji Que, Huang Si had the urge to go back to the Yamen to redress his grievances when he came out of jail.

No matter how you look at it, he looks more like a victim.

That scholar has no conscience!

Not only did he defraud him of his savings, but he also maimed his hand.

It will be very difficult for him to steal and rob again. How can he live like this?

It's a pity that life is so cruel, if you can't survive, just die.

The second half of this sentence is the original words of Xue Baotou in the Yamen.

Both the county magistrate and Xue Baotou now hate these blind thieves with deep hatred.

Since the Fenglian Sect incident, the entire county government has been very polite to Ji Que.

Extremely polite.

Every time Ji Que sent these thieves here, they couldn't tell the truth every time, saying that there was no reward for them.

In order to build a good relationship, the county government had to announce a reward on the spot for the person who was arrested several times. The county magistrate tearfully paid Ji Que's reward out of his own pocket.

Ji Que didn't know the truth, but he was very moved. He was touched that his luck had improved a little, and he actually got a bounty again.

After serving the sentence, Huang Si returned to the house in ragged clothes. He couldn't help but feel angry and angry when he thought that all the savings he had worked so hard to steal for several years had been taken away by that scholar. His right hand was also crippled and it was difficult to hold chopsticks.

.

"Bastard, dead bastard."

"I just stole a little money from him, but he actually disabled my hand. How could there be such a vicious person in this world?"

"The dog officer, the dog hunter, are colluding with each other!"

For a moment, Huang Si's entire face became distorted.

He was imprisoned for two months, and the house was always empty and had many cobwebs on it.

Huang Si was lying on the dirty bed, thinking about where to steal some to make ends meet.

If this continues, let alone gambling, I won’t be able to afford meat.

In the entire Sangshui County, no one knows the existence of lonely elderly people in the city better than Huang Si.

He quickly remembered someone.

There is a very old woman in the west of the city who is still blind.

He hadn't done anything before because the old woman didn't look very rich.

But the situation is different now. No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still flesh.

Get some money from that old woman, and you can at least have a few good meals.

After staying in the cell for so long, his mouth almost turned like a bird.

Thinking of this, Huang Si couldn't sit still. He put a sharp knife on his body and a bamboo hat and went out.

The blind old woman lives in the west of the city, not far from here.
