Chapter 40 Lawlessness
Jiang Mingyu gave a sharp shout, which instantly caused a look of horror on the face of the middle-aged man in the distance.
His hand holding the gray cloth purse trembled unnaturally.
Seeing that he was exposed, he frowned, turned his head and ran away in a hurry.
The angry shouts of Jiang Mingyu, who was wearing casual clothes, could still be heard clearly: "Catch him!"
He happened to witness the thief stealing the money bag of an old woman on the street.
The thief ran far away, and the old woman didn't realize that she had been stolen until then, so she pulled her hair and cried bitterly: "Someone, come quickly, catch the thief!"
The old woman collapsed on the ground, slapping her thighs and crying.
Tukslow, Murong Yunhai and others were also dressed in casual clothes. Without any hesitation, they chased after him: "Where are you running! Stop!"
Jiang Mingyu took two steps forward and gently helped the old woman up: "Don't panic, old man, we will recover the money bag for you. Look..."
He glanced at Tuxlo and the others again. It didn't matter, but he was immediately dumbfounded.
Tuxlow, who ran not far away, saw that the thief was almost gone. He jumped up from the ground like a peacock in the sky and suddenly flew up!
His feet barely touched the ground, but stepped accurately in the air, and suddenly jumped up from the wall.
He climbed to the roof at an alarming speed and continued to chase the thief.
Tuxlow's body is like the body fading away, leaving only the soul playing.
Jiang Mingyu understood and said dumbly: "I'll strangle you, are you so embarrassed?"
Jiang Mingyu knew that Tuxlow's martial arts were very strong! He didn't expect that after being nourished by Qi Haili Zhenren, Tuxlow's body skills would become so inhuman.
Before he could come over, he saw that Tuxlow had caught the money thief like a chicken.
"What crime do you deserve if you steal someone's money in broad daylight?" Jiang Mingyu's voice was full of majesty and determination.
But the thief replied carelessly without fear: "Bah, who the hell are you! You're full of food, you're nosy, it's not your money, so what does it have to do with you?"
Jiang Mingyu was not in a hurry to reveal his identity: "Do you still have a king's law in your eyes? Do you really think that no one can cure you?"
"Don't talk nonsense. If you commit theft or break the law, please quickly report the money bag and follow me to the government for trial."
The thief who was pinned to the ground actually laughed: "Haha, county government? The county magistrate is gone, why do you still worry about the county government?"
"A bunch of incompetent rats who only care about the common people. Do you think your grandpa is still afraid of them?"
"Little bastard, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything random. If you say I'm a thief, what proof do you have?"
Jiang Mingyu took out the old woman's money bag from the thief's arms: "How do you explain this?"
The thief said nonsense: "What did you take the purse for?"
Jiang Mingyu sneered: "How dare you deny it in front of the suffering master? Old man, is this your wallet?"
He handed the money bag to the old woman and asked softly.
Before the old woman could speak, the thief on the ground looked fiercely and said in a threatening tone: "Old immortal, Grandpa, I am from Qinglong Village, think about it carefully before you speak!"
"This... this... is... not... mine..." The old man was frightened and could not utter a complete sentence.
"I didn't lose any money, young man, you have wronged this man, let him go as soon as possible."
"It's all my fault, sir. I apologize to you."
As she spoke, she actually bent down and bowed to the thief on the ground.
Jiang Mingyu was startled. After just a few words, the mistress actually turned against him.
Immediately, he realized that the problem must lie in the three words Qinglong Village.
But before he could speak, the subdued thief burst out laughing: "Boy, do you hear that? The money belongs to grandpa, please return it to grandpa quickly."
Jiang Mingyu ignored him, turned around and asked Murong Yunhai: "Where is Qinglong Village?"
Wu Xiaoer, who had always had no presence, suddenly said with a sneer: "Qinglong Village is a bandit den on Qinglong Mountain in the east. It is home to a group of bandits who suffered a thousand blows. This bandit should be one of them."
"In recent years, our people in Shangmu have been harmed by them a lot."
"But the government and army are already overwhelmed with dealing with foreigners, so we have no choice but to turn a blind eye."
Jiang Mingyu muttered: "No wonder you are so arrogant. It turns out that they are all a group of gangsters who bully the weak."
The thief on the ground twisted his body and looked extremely arrogant: "Boy, you are right. You have been wandering around the land of Shangmu and you haven't even heard of the name Qinglong Village. You are really blind."
"Those who know the truth, please release your grandpa and me immediately and come here with five hundred taels of silver. Grandpa will treat today's incident as if nothing happened."
He glanced at Jiang Mingyu with a sly smile: "If you dare to say no, when grandpa and I return to the mountain, you will bear the brunt and your family will be destroyed."
Jiang Mingyu smiled: "He is indeed a villain who specializes in unscrupulous activities. How dare he be so arrogant and arrogant when he fell into my hands?"
The skinny thief gradually stopped smiling: "Boy, you dare to say something rude when you hear the name of Qinglong Village."
"For the sake of my hometown, Grandpa, I would like to advise you again, don't ask for trouble!"
"Even if you really send me to jail today, you will have to kneel down and beg me to come out tomorrow."
"Looking at your young age, could it be that you haven't understood it yet, so why don't you release my master immediately and go home to get the money?"
Jiang Mingyu smiled lightly: "Haha, I would like to see how I kneel down and beg you to come out tomorrow?"
Jiang Mingyu sneered, with contempt in his eyes: "Haha, do you really think that I can't do anything to you?"
As soon as the thief heard Jiang Mingyu's self-introduction, his expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly asked: "Who are you?"
Jiang Mingyu put his hands behind his back and answered confidently: "I am an imperial envoy given by the emperor. Qinglong Village has such a great reputation."
The thief was arrogant and unruly just now, threatening to destroy Jiang Mingyu's home, but now he begged with a trembling voice: "You are... an imperial envoy, my lord, please spare your life..."
Jiang Mingyu shook his head and said in a joking tone: "Why, you heroes in Qinglong Village still know how to be afraid?"
"How about your drive to bully the people? Let me see how you ruined my family?"
The thief Liu Tianyu was so frightened that he almost died of fright. He kowtowed nervously and said: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy, I really have a blind eye and cannot see Taishan. I beg you to forgive me. I beg you to forgive me."
Jiang Mingyu sneered disdainfully: "Whose money does it belong to?"
The thief kowtowed furiously and replied: "Hers belongs to that old... old man. Sir, I have realized my mistake."
Jiang Mingyu nodded with satisfaction: "Just admit your mistake. Goudan, waiter, put this thief in jail and deal with it later."
For some reason, Li Goudan felt a little embarrassed, but in the end he stepped forward and took the thief who begged for mercy to the prison.
The thief went away, and the old woman fell to her knees: "Please forgive me, the imperial envoy. I just said that, and there is nothing I can do about it."
"If we offend Qinglong Village, our whole family will not survive."
Jiang Mingyu gently helped him up: "Old man, I understand your difficulties. Take the money and go home and rest early."
He stared at the walking back of the old woman. Jiang Mingyu's face was cold: "Did you see it? You dare to be angry but dare not speak out! How these people have been oppressed by these robbers and thieves!"
Murong Yunhai also had a sinister look on his face, and his voice was cold: "What did Brother Xingqiu mean?"
