Three hundred and fortieth chapters little thief
Just then Wei Wu and Qian Zaiyou came back. Seeing this, Qian Zaiyou came up and said,
"Sister Three, don't scold Xiaowu. It's not what she wants to follow, it's me who wanted to catch this little thief and come by myself!"
Before Han Qi could respond, Qian Jiyou, who came later, rushed up angrily and wanted to beat him up.
"You are so kind of good-looking that I will tell my parents about what happened today when I go back, Qian Xiaosan... Just wait for your butt to bloom!"
Qian Zaiyou didn't dare to force himself at this time. Hearing this, he shrank his neck, hid behind Wei Wu, and shouted at his brother,
"Second brother, don't hit me, I... I caught this little thief no matter what I said!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the little thief who was brought in by Wei Wu. Only then did everyone go to see the little thief. In this alley, there were only a few small lanterns in front of the doors of the houses. Everyone looked at them by the light and saw a small hunched child with long hair on his head, and he didn't know what his facial features looked like.
Wei Wu glanced at everyone and said,
"This place is not a place to talk, let's talk about it when we go back!"
While speaking, everyone was about to take a step, but the little thief who was brought in Wei Wu's hand struggled and shouted,
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Wei Wu has been lying on the street for many years, and is not the ruthless person. Seeing that the thief was ignorant, he snorted coldly, and used force on his arm, but he repeatedly pushed the thief to the ground. Everyone heard a muffled sound of bone hitting the ground. The thief hit the ground with his face. When he raised his head, he was bleeding from his nose and blood, and his forehead was also seen. The child was stubborn, pulled his sleeves and rubbed his mouth and nose, opened his mouth and spit out two front teeth and fell on his palm.
Han Man looked at his bloody face and was startled. He ran behind Han Qi, grabbed her skirt tightly, and showed half of her little face to look carefully at the thief. Wei Wu smiled and kicked the thief's back with his toes.
"Boy, who did you follow to have a lot of courage. Don't you see who you stole it? Didn't your boss give you some advice?"
The little thieves and gangsters in the capital are all organized and gangs. These little people living at the lowest level of the capital are the most eye-catching people on the ground of the entire Sijiu City. They are clear about who can steal and who can't steal!
These people are not afraid of offending the high-ranking officials or the rich merchants. The most feared is to offend those people who are trampled on and have great hands and eyes. The high-ranking officials disdain to argue with them, such as the small thieves. The rich merchants want to confuse, but when they report to the yamen, the officials and yamen runners have long been bribed by the money, saying that they are taking the people and they will be left alone for a while!
But they would not easily provoke people who were on the black and white path. If this kind of person is serious, it would be no problem to even kill a bunch of big thieves. Wei Wu is now considered one. He was born on the street and now he is an official, so he can be black and white. All the people in the capital know that there is such a person, so he naturally dare not provoke them easily. Therefore, Wei Wu asked this question!
The little thief was a vague person. He heard this and just wiped the blood from his mouth and nose, and said vaguely,
"Ten...Ten Mo...Boss?"
Wei Wu laughed as soon as he heard this.
"Hey! Boy, it turns out that he is a single person. No wonder he is so brave..."
After saying that, he squatted down and looked at the boy carefully, and asked,
"Boy, tell me! Where do we want to send you? Five City Military and Ma Si Prison or Shuntian Mansion Prison?"
The little thief shrank when he heard this, lowered his head and looked at Wei Wu from behind his hair. After a while, he moved away and looked at everyone around him. Suddenly, he saw Han Qi, but he knelt down and rushed to her, and kowtowed,
"Miss... This lady... you are very kind and spare me this time!"
This kid is also smart. The one who can make decisions among this group of people must be these luxuriously dressed young ladies, and the woman is the most soft-hearted. And the lady looks kind-hearted, so she must be right!
Han Qi pulled Han Man back two steps and asked her softly.
"What's your name? You sound like a native of the capital?"
The little thief responded,
"The little one is named Gou'er, and his family lives in the west of the city..."
"You are a native of the capital. You have parents and brothers at home. Why do you come out to steal?"
Speaking of the little thief at home, he lowered his head for a while before answering,
"There are parents and brothers at home..."
"Will your parents at home ignore you when you go out to steal?"
This type of thieves who do petty thieves are mostly committed crimes from other places, but there are few local thefts in the hometown. Especially if there are parents and relatives at home and are known to others, the whole family will be shameless, and the villagers and neighbors will despise and despise them, and even be driven out of the villages and towns where they live!
The little thief thought about it and responded,
"My parents are almost dying of illness, and the two younger brothers at home are too hungry. They... are still waiting for me to get the money back!"
As soon as this said, Han Qi, Han Man and Qian Zaiyou immediately showed a look of sympathy. Wei Wu and Qian Jiyou disagreed. Wei Wu sneered,
"Miss Third, please listen to this boy's nonsense. If you catch ten such thieves, eight of them will tell you that there are old mothers in the high hall and wives, children and sisters in the lower part, and there is no truth in your mouth!"
Han Qi looked up and down at the thief and asked him softly.
"What you said is true. If what you said is true, we will accompany you to your home and pay money to help your parents treat your illness. If you lied to me, you will be sent to the prison to eat twenty big boards. If you have a small board like you... you will be beaten twenty big boards, you may not be beaten to the spring..."
The little thief shrank his body and did not dare to speak. Wei Wu stepped on his shoulder with his feet behind him.
"The third lady doesn't have to talk nonsense to him. This kid is just talking nonsense. Send it to the yamen!"
The little thief lay on the ground and began to struggle again.
"I... didn't talk nonsense...I didn't talk nonsense!"
"Then... let's take us to have a look..."
The little thief looked up at Han Qi,
"Miss...I...I didn't lie..."
He paused and gritted his teeth,
"If you have gone to see it, please don't report it to the official!"
Han Qi said strangely,
"I said it before... If you told the truth, I will naturally not report it to the official..."
The little thief was silent for a while,
"Okay! I'll take the lady there!"
As expected, Wei Wu looked at Han Qi,
"Miss Three, I'll do this... Miss Three doesn't have to go?"
Han Qi smiled slightly and said softly.
"That is what I asked, I will naturally go!"
Wei Wu knew that her temperament was just speaking, and that would definitely not change. He had no choice but to look at Han Man and Qian Zaiyou, and thought about it and said to Qian Jiyou.
"There are no need to let the young people go there for this matter. I'll bother Brother Qian to send Xiaowu back to the Han Mansion and send a message... and say we'll go home later."
Qian Jiyou nodded and then asked Wei Wudao again.
"It's easier to do things with people. It's better for Qian to send a few people to follow Brother Wei and Miss Third!"
Wei Wu realized that there was no one on the ground in the capital who dared to attack him without opening his eyes. He turned his head and looked at Han Qi, thought for a while and bowed,
"Thank you, Brother Qian!"
He is not afraid of anyone, but if he takes the third lady, he will naturally be safer. Although he doesn't like this boy named Qian, he is not the kind of boy who is irritable. If he doesn't have a free helper, wouldn't he be a fool?
Qian Jiyou smiled when he heard this, turned around and pointed at a few burly servants who followed Wei Wu over, and saluted Han Qi.
"Don't worry, Miss Third, Qian will send Miss No. 5 safely back to home!"
"Thank you, Mr. Qian!"
Han Qi saluted and watched Qian Jiyou leave with Han Man and Qian Zaiyou with reluctance, and then he followed the thief with Wei Wu.
The Shuntian Mansion in the capital is a prosperous place under the feet of the emperor. It should have been the peace of mind for the people and the prosperity of all industries. There will be no hungry people everywhere, homeless, and beggars and refugees under the emperor's eyes. Even Wei Wu was one of them.
When he was young, he fled to the capital with his mother Jiang. From then on, he settled here and got big on the street. Therefore, Wei Wu understood the suffering of these people best. When he saw the little thief's family nesting in a nest, huddling tightly in a corner, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"It seems that this kid really didn't lie!"
The place where the thief lives is a dilapidated house in the very side of the outer city. These houses have long collapsed and cannot be used. The family dug a nest nearby, searched for wood to hold it, and then put various cover objects found outside on the top, hoping to cover the heavy snow in the cold winter and allow their family to survive this cold winter.
Just how can they survive the winter?
In order to save fire, the ground nest was dark, cold, without any clothes, and had no food and clothing. They all had pale faces and thin skin, and were trembling. They were afraid that they would not be able to hold on for another two days. Just as they were lamenting the miserable life of the family, they saw their son bringing a bunch of people back.
The head of the family poked his head out, and saw the fire, these men were tall and fierce. The family was so scared that they shook more and more. One of them was a sick middle-aged man who reached out to protect his wife and children behind him, and asked with a trembling voice with his thin chest.
"Dou'er, what have you... brought the people from the government?"
The little thief, who was called Dog, coughed twice and swallowed the blood foam that reached his mouth.
"Dad, I'm not from the government!"
Wei Wu asked Han Qi to stand aside first, but he bent down and crawled into the nest with a torch. He was tall and small. As soon as he entered, he squeezed it into a full house. He just bent over and looked at the family from a high place. They all stared at him with horror eyes, and looked at him helplessly. The dog said,
"You...you have seen it too...you can leave!"
Wei Wu looked back at him and asked,
"You are the people in the capital, why are you homeless?"
