Chapter 268 Arrest
Chapter 268 Catching people
Although I don’t understand what the beads of Zhiyu have to do with whether my sister-in-law wakes up, since they have found them, they must have some connection.
After calling a few yamen runners to follow him, he took Lin Yicheng and the others to arrest people.
There are only two groups of people in Yancheng who are thieves, and their locations are very similar. On weekdays, they are just thieves, so not many people care about them.
There were several people gathering in the small dilapidated building west of the city. Apart from a man with a sharp mouth and a man with a honest look with thick eyebrows and small eyes, there were an old beggar with white hair and lame legs and two dolls.
The two dolls were thin and small, and they hugged aside and didn't dare to speak.
"That girl is clumsy. If she doesn't work, let's sell it to the kiln." The man with sharp mouth and monkey cheeks spat, looking at the little girl in the corner and snorted coldly.
This little girl can't steal anything after a movie, and she is always caught.
It's really useless!
"Can she sell it for the same way she looks?" The old beggar next to poked the little girl with a wooden stick and sneered.
The little girl was poked by him with a wooden stick. She wanted to scream but didn't dare to. She could only bit her lips tightly and shrank into a ball to prevent herself from making a sound.
She knew where the kiln was, and the old beggar said that her mother was from the kiln.
My grandmother didn't want her, so she was picked up by the old beggar, and then she survived.
"This girl is pretty good-looking. Even if she loses a little, she can sell for four taels of silver. It's better than staying here for free." The man with thick eyebrows and small eyes narrowed his eyes and then touched his chin and said.
"It's too young, I'll raise it." The old beggar did not speak, but knocked on the wooden stick and said.
Seeing that he refused, the other two men looked at each other and closed their mouths awkwardly.
The man with sharp mouth and monkey cheeks took out a small purse from his arms.
Open the purse and reveal a bead inside.
The beads are all white and very round. You can guess that they are valuable just by looking at them.
"This is what Xiaomi brought back today." The man's eyes were full of pride, and he was very satisfied with the people he brought out.
"This bead is pretty good." The old beggar looked at the bead, then looked at Xiaomi, who looked a little uncomfortable.
"It's just that this kid has gone to the yamen, I'm afraid he can't keep it."
"How could it be? Just don't let him steal from the north of the city tomorrow. If you don't have a familiar face, nothing will happen." The man with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek waved his hand.
Xiaomi is the most satisfied with the people he has ever brought.
He is smart and clever, and since he has been with me last year, he has brought back many things.
"Hmph, I don't look like he wants to steal something." The man with thick eyebrows and small eyes glanced at Xiaomi, whose body was a little stiff, and said coldly.
"How could this happen?" the man retorted.
"You forgot how he came back yesterday?"
The old white-haired beggar drooped his head and didn't say anything, as if he was asleep.
The man with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek shut up.
Since Xiaomi was arrested a few days ago, he has been a little worried that he would confess himself.
As a result, it was fine for several days.
I originally thought that I would kill him after he came out, but I saw him on the street yesterday.
Not only did the clothes I wore were replaced with clean bodies, but I had twenty coins in my hand.
If he hadn't called him by himself, he wouldn't have come back by himself.
Thinking of this, his face became darker.
The look of looking at Xiaomi became colder, as if it was poisoned.
"Xiaomi, come here."
Xiaomi has changed back to the dirty clothes that were originally dirty. When he heard him call him over, his body subconsciously shrank.
Thinking of the consequences of my disobedience in the past, I had to go there obediently.
"Why are you doing it!"
Xiaomi's body shook, and then she hurriedly stood beside him.
"Why didn't you come back here quickly yesterday?" The man had a dark face and grabbed the hand holding the wooden stick.
"I...I..." Xiaomi squeezed her hands tightly and couldn't speak.
He was looking for that woman.
He thought that he would live a life worse than death if he was in prison.
But the prison guards in the prison not only did not beat him, but also gave him food.
He took a shower and put on clean clothes. For the first time, he felt like he was alone.
The jailer said that someone asked them to take care of themselves.
It must be that woman. She said she was not much older than her child. She felt that she couldn't bear it, but if she didn't want her, why did she have to take care of him as a thief?
He was looking forward to being released from prison earlier, always looking forward to seeing the woman at the door.
Otherwise, why should you be so kind to him?
But there was no one at the county government gate, and the prison guard gave him twenty copper coins before leaving. This was the first time he had appeared in the crowd cleanly.
No need to be disgusted by others anymore.
But he couldn't be happy.
He wanted to find the woman, but he was brought back in the end.
They took off the clothes and sold them for a hundred dollars.
He became that dirty and smelly little beggar again.
"Speak!" The man with sharp mouth and monkey cheeks spat and kicked him with his legs.
Before Xiaomi could react, she had already fallen to the ground.
The kick hit his stomach, causing cold sweat to burst into his forehead.
"Damn, I have been raising you for so many years, and I have been to prison and wear clothes and want to run away?" The man took another kick and continued to curse: "I am really an ungrateful wolf! I should strangle you to death and throw you into the river!"
Xiaomi was just curled up, and many tears fell from her dirty face.
He looked at the woman today.
That woman was the owner of the restaurant, and she didn't remember herself at all.
He also saw the woman holding the little doll.
He thought, if he stole the doll's stuff, would it remind her of herself?
Gradually, Xiaomi's consciousness became a little blurred, and she could no longer hear what the man was scolding, and even her body seemed to become a little light.
He felt that he might be dying.
When Lin Yicheng kicked open the door, he saw a man hitting a doll on the ground desperately.
Subconsciously covered Zhiyu's eyes.
"Don't move!" Liu Jie rushed into the room with his people, grabbed all three of them, and then asked.
"What about the things I stole today?"
Liu Jie asked coldly.
"We didn't steal anything!" The man was pressed to the ground and said with a firm mouth.
"If you are stubborn, go to the prison to eat a whip!"
Xiaomi seemed to hear something in a daze, pointing to the man's arms.
Xiao Zhiyu saw his movements through Lin Yicheng's fingers, and hurriedly said to Lin Yicheng in a low voice.
Lin Yicheng was not vague. He just flipped through the man and touched Zhiyu's small purse.
Inside the copper plate in the purse, there was the bead.
"Brother Liu, I found it." Seeing that Zhuzi was fine, Lin Yicheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good." Liu Jie nodded and was about to leave with the man.
The old beggar coughed and said, "What are you doing to catch me, the old beggar? I just settled here. What does their business have to do with me?"
Liu Jie looked at him, then looked at Xiaomi on the ground and the little girl beside him, but ignored him and only held the other two people and was about to leave.
This old beggar is old and if he takes them away, the two dolls will be gone without anyone to watch them, and they may have to be sold somewhere again.
"Uncle, that brother, let's take him away." Xiao Zhiyu looked at Xiaomi on the ground and said with a frown.
Lin Yicheng looked at his nephew in surprise, then looked at Xiaomi who was alive and dead on the ground, and then bent down and fished him up.
