Qin Butcher finally agreed to sell the deal at a price of twenty-seven cents per catty. He needed to go back to find a partnership of three people to wrap the rest of the sheep, and weighing was also a laborious and time-consuming job.
So the two made an appointment to trade again tomorrow.
Qin Butcher couldn't help but reminded before leaving: "Miss Mu, Hu Cai gave you so much money in public today, I'm afraid it will provoke the younger generation, I think you should move to the city and live."
"Thank you Uncle Qin for reminding me, I know."
Qin Butcher could only sigh when he saw that Mu Yangling didn't seem to take it to heart.
Mu Yangling didn't take it seriously, but he had already come to this point when Hu Cai asked people to go back and get the silver.
When she and Hu Cai succeeded in the transaction, it was already late, and no matter how fast the news spread, it was impossible to get out of the village.
As for the people in the village, Mu Yangling believed that he could handle it.
So at night, Mu Yangling let Zhang Wuzhangliu sleep in the wing and woke up a little.
Let Xiuhong and Bowen sleep in her room.
The next morning, Xiuhong and Bowen got up and opened the door to see a bunch of people **** in the yard, and their mouths opened wide.
Zhang Wu and Zhang Liu were sitting on the stool inside the door with sticks in a drowsy state, and the flames in the brazier had been extinguished.
Hearing the movement, the two jumped up and rushed out with sticks in their hands. Seeing that it was Xiuhong and Bo Wen, they put away their nervous expressions, "Miss Xiuhong and the young master are awake? I'll go to the kitchen to see if the soup is ready. "
Bo Wen hurriedly grabbed him, pointed to the people bound on the ground and asked, "Brother Liu Zi, who are these people?"
"Hmph, who else could it be? The thief in the village dared to steal the girl's head."
Bowen frowned, "So many?"
Zhang Liu's face was even worse, "There are four rounds in total, but it's not a group of people. Last night, a girl came here and threw one out, and it didn't stop until the early morning."
Xiuhong opened her mouth wide, looked at a bunch of people lying on the ground, and asked, "Then what should I do now? Send an official?"
The thief, who was lying on the ground honestly, hurriedly screamed "woo woo", but they can't be sent to officials, they will be finished in this life.
Mu Yangling didn't send anyone to office, because these were all novice hands, and she probably couldn't bear the temptation to come and steal them. Although it was hateful, she didn't mean to kill them all.
If they were sent to the police station in the previous life, they would have been sent in, and they would have been sentenced for a few months at most, but here the thieves would have to eat a killing force before being put in jail for a few days. Be honest. After being sent to a cold and bitter place for transformation, with no medical treatment, no medicine and injuries, very few people can come back alive in the end.
Those who came back alive either completely changed their minds and did not dare to steal and rob them again, or they became more ruthless. This is a time of troubled times, not a peaceful and prosperous age.
But Mu Yangling didn't let them go just like that. If they didn't get a little lesson, they would only do such wicked things in the future.
So Mu Yangling threw the people in the house, and even threw them into the yard when the last group was caught in the early morning.
This kind of waiting without knowing the future is the most torturous. At least a few years ago, he had already burst into tears. If it wasn't for something in his mouth, he would have kneeled in front of Mu Yangling and begged for mercy.
This is not enough, Mu Yangling asked Zhang Wuzhangliu to count their family situation, and asked their family members to come and lead them.
Several people's eyes were red, their faces were very burned, and their hearts were ashamed and ashamed.
Bo Wen saw them lying on the ground wearing so little clothes, so he whispered to his sister: "Sister, why don't you bring them into the house, if you really get a cold, you have to worry about it later."
Mu Yangling took the people back to the house, so when their family came, Mu Yangling was waiting for them in the hall. There were two young people in their twenties on the ground, two of whom were only fifteen or sixteen years old. .
Parents are ashamed and ashamed. At this time, people are still very pure and friendly. Their children are thieves. Evil son.
Mu Yangling's eyes slid across everyone's faces. Seeing that the parents were all ashamed and angry, they didn't have the heart to test them. Just as they were about to speak, an honest parent knelt on the ground and begged Mu Yangling to forgive him. They, as long as they don't send officials, they will pay for the loss, and they will definitely break their hands and feet when they go back in the future...
With a pair of parents doing this, the other parents also knelt on the ground.
Mu Yangling looked at the people who were tied to the ground. Two of them looked at their parents, their eyes were red, and they immediately cried. Because their mouths were gagged, they could only scream.
Mu Yangling stepped forward to help the parents up, turned around and asked the people on the ground, "Who are you worthy of?"
The parents wiped away their tears and said, "That is, whoever you are worthy of, Miss Mu, no matter who they are worthy of, they are all our children. This is a debt. Just please don't send me off, let us do whatever you want."
Mu Yangling sat on the chair and said, "If I want to send him off, I won't notify you."
Mu Yangling looked at the people on the ground and said, "I won't be sent to office. One is because you are novice and I don't want you to ruin your career or life, and the other is for your parents."
"I once heard a story. A thief was sentenced to death for stealing and murder. Before he died, he said that he hated his parents, friends, and neighbors. Many people were puzzled. Do you know what he said?"
The people on the ground looked at Mu Yangling blankly.
Mu Yangling looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside and said, "He said that the first time he stole, he just stole a piece of candy. If his parents could beat him, his friends could persuade him, his neighbors could scold him, he would Later, they may not steal food, steal money, and develop to steal more valuable things or even kill people.”
Mu Yangling showed a sneering smile, "I don't think his crime is someone else's fault, his nature and self-control are the main reasons, but I've also been wondering if there was something wrong with him when he stole for the first time. Someone taught him, someone taught him, and someone told him that it was wrong and he would stop when the gain outweighed the gain?"
"Now I'm doing what he was angry about before he died. This time I won't report to the official. Whether you can improve it depends on yourselves. I'm afraid we won't have the opportunity to meet again in the future. "
Mu Yangling waved Zhang Wuzhangliu to release them, and the parents rushed forward to help the children.
"You guys go."
A father slapped his son in the face with a big slap and shouted, "Hurry up and kneel down for your benefactor!"
The son knelt on the ground with a "plop" sound, and the others knelt down one after another, kowtowed to Mu Yangling together, and then limped away.
Zhang Wu and Zhang Liu wiped away their tears. They were once one of them, and they were also woken up by the girl.
"Sister, will they retaliate?" Bowen asked with a frown.
"They dare!" Xiuhong jumped up, "Cousin has already let them go."
"No one knows if they will change it, so pack up and leave as soon as this batch of sheep is sold."
"Traveling all night?"
Mu Yangling nodded and said to the reluctant Xiuhong: "We listen to the blog post about this matter. We have to believe in human nature, but sometimes we have to doubt it. Not everyone has a good heart."
Mu Yangling is not afraid of the people in the village stealing, but she is afraid that they will spread the news. There should not be too many bandits outside Xingyuan Mansion.
