Qin Butcher finally agreed to make the deal at a price of twenty-seven yuan per catty. He needed to go back and find three partners to round up the remaining sheep, and weighing was also a labor-intensive and time-consuming task.

So the two made an appointment to trade again tomorrow.

Before leaving, Butcher Qin still couldn't help reminding: "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 to live."

"Thank you, Uncle Qin, for reminding me, I know."

Seeing that Mu Yangling didn't seem to take it seriously, Qin Butcher could only sigh.

It's not that Mu Yangling didn't care about it, but it was already when Hu Cai asked people to go back to get the money.

It was getting late when she and Hu Cai made a successful deal. No matter how fast the news spread, it was impossible for it to spread out of the village, and it was not the modern age of rapid information development.

As for the people in the village, Mu Yangling thought he could still deal with them.

So at night, Mu Yangling let Zhang Wu and Zhang Liu sleep in the wing room to wake them up a bit.

Let Xiuhong and Bowen sleep in her room.

The next morning, when Xiuhong and Bowen got up and opened the door, they saw a bunch of people tied up in the yard, and they opened their mouths wide.

Zhang Wu and Zhang Liu were sitting on the stool inside the door with their sticks in their arms, drowsy, and the flame in the brazier had already been extinguished.

Hearing the movement, the two jumped up, rushed out with sticks in their arms, and when they saw it was Xiuhong and Bowen, 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. "

Bowen hurriedly grabbed him, pointed to the bound people on the ground and asked, "Brother Liu, who are these people?"

"Hmph, who else could it be? The thief in the village dared to steal from the girl."

Bowen frowned, "So much?"

Zhang Liu's face was even worse, "There are four rounds in total, and they are not a group of people. When the girls came last night, they threw out another round, and it didn't stop until early morning."

Xiuhong opened her mouth wide, looked at the group of people lying on the ground, and asked, "Then what should I do now? Send me to the official?"

The thieves who were lying on the ground quickly yelled "woo woo", they can't be sent to the official, and their lives are over if they are sent to the official.

Mu Yangling didn't send people to the government, because these were novices, and they probably couldn't bear the temptation to come and steal. Although it was hateful, she didn't mean to kill them all.

If it was the police station in the previous life, if you send it in, you will be sent in. At most, you will be released after a few months of sentence. Here, the thieves have to eat a killing stick first, and then put them in prison for a few days. Be honest. In order to be sent to a cold and miserable place for reformation, with no medical treatment and no medicine and injuries, very few of them can come back alive in the end.

Those who come back alive either have completely changed and dare not steal again, or become more ruthless. This is a troubled time, not a peaceful and prosperous era.

But Mu Yangling didn't just let them go. If they didn't learn a lesson, they would probably do such immoral things again in the future.

So Mu Yangling threw the people in the house, and even threw them into the yard when the last group of people were arrested in the early morning.

This kind of waiting without knowing the future is the most tormenting. At least a few young people have tears streaming down their faces. If they hadn't stuffed their mouths, they would have knelt down in front of Mu Yangling and begged for mercy.

That's not counting, Mu Yangling asked Zhang Wu and Zhang Liu to count their family situation, and asked their family members to come and pick them up.

Several people's eyes were red, their faces were burning, and they were ashamed and ashamed.

Bowen saw them lying on the ground with such little clothes on, so he whispered to his sister: "Sister, why don't you bring them into the house, if you really catch a cold, you will have to worry about it later."

Mu Yangling carried them back into the house, so when their family members found him, Mu Yangling was waiting for them in the hall. Among the young people in their twenties, two of them were only fifteen or sixteen years old. .

Parents are ashamed and ashamed. At this time, people are still very pure and friendly. When their own children become thieves, the bitter master comes to the door, with shame and shame on their faces, and then they just wait for the people on the ground who hate iron and steel. Evil son.

Mu Yangling's eyes slid over everyone's face, seeing that the parents were all ashamed and angry, and they didn't have the heart to test them. Just as they were about to speak, some honest parents knelt down on the ground and begged Mu Yangling for forgiveness 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...

Once a pair of parents did this, other parents also fell to their knees.

Mu Yangling looked at the people who were tied up on the ground. Two of them looked at their parents, their eyes turned red, and they started to cry. Because their mouths were gagged, they could only yell "woo hoo".

Mu Yangling stepped forward to help the parents up, then turned to ask the people on the ground, "Who are you worthy of?"

The parents wiped their tears and said: "That's right, who are you 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 to the government, let us do whatever you want."

Mu Yangling sat on the chair and said, "If I want to send you off, I won't notify you."

Mu Yangling looked at the people on the ground and said, "I don't want to send you off. One is because you are novices and I don't want you to ruin your career or life. The other is because of your parents."

"I once heard a story about a thief who was sentenced to death for stealing and murder. Before he died, he said that he hated his parents, friends, and neighbors. Many people didn't understand. 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 candy. If his parents could beat him, his friends could persuade him, and his neighbors could scold him, he would Later, they may not steal food or money, and develop into stealing more valuable things or even killing people.”

A sneering smile appeared on the corner of Mu Yangling's mouth, "I don't think his crime is someone else's fault, but his nature and self-control are the main reasons, but I have been wondering if there was something wrong with him when he stole for the first time. People teach him, people teach him, people tell him it's wrong and it's not worth the effort?"

"Now I'm doing what he complained about before he died. I won't report it to the officials this time. Whether you can change it is up to you. I'm afraid we won't have the chance to meet again in the future. You have to take responsibility for your own life. "

Mu Yangling waved Zhang Wu and Zhang Liu to untie them, and the parents rushed forward to help the children up.

"Let's go."

A father slapped his son in the face with a big slap, and shouted, "Quickly kneel down to your benefactor!"

The son knelt on the ground with a "plop", and the others knelt down one after another, kowtowing to Mu Yangling together, and then limped away.

Zhang Wu and Zhang Liu wiped their tears. They were one of them once, and they were also woken up by the girl.

"Sister, will they take revenge?" Bowen asked with a frown.

"They dare!" Xiuhong jumped up, "My cousin already let them go."

"Who knows if they'll reform, so pack up and we'll leave as soon as the sheep are sold."

"Rushing all night?"

Mu Yangling nodded, and said to the reluctant Xiuhong: "This matter is based on the blog post. 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 that the people in the village will steal, but she is afraid that they will spread the news. There should not be too many bandits outside Xingyuan Mansion. It is fine for her to come and go by herself, but she still has Bowen and Xiuhong with her.
