Hu Chuanxin held the torch high and ran over to take a look first. He shouted in surprise: Look - what are you looking at? Next to a young man who was drunk in a ditch, there were many turtles and turtles lying motionless. Even if Hu Chuanxing kicked them, they wouldn't move. They looked almost dead, but they were not dead. There was a pile of wine-soaked dirt around the young man's mouth that might have been vomited from his stomach. He might have become drunk after eating. Wu Renyi rushed over to take a look. The smell of alcohol made him hold his nose. He took a step back and discussed the matter with everyone.
At this time, Hu Chuanxin had kicked the young man awake. He turned his face sideways and his face was covered with mud. Hu Chuanxin didn't know whether he was a wine thief, so he deliberately yelled to deceive him: You stole wine from our winery, admit it quickly, or you will be sued immediately.
Hu Chuanxin said it several times before the man fully woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw several familiar faces in the winery appeared in front of him, and each of them looked ferocious. He was so frightened that he trembled and said hesitantly: "It's me." You stole the wine from the wine shop, please spare me! Wu Renyi and Hong Qiaoyun, who were picking up the untouched turtles and turtles, stopped what they were doing, stared at him and asked almost in unison: Where have all the more than ten bottles of wine gone? The young man got up and didn't know what to say, so he took out a handful of silver that made a squeaking sound and said, "I changed it to this."
Where did you change it? Hong Qiaoyun took the silver in his hand and raised his eyebrows, looking at him but he didn't say anything. Hong Qiaoyun counted the money again and felt that she was at a loss. More than ten bottles of wine were exchanged for only this small amount of money. She was angry and burned his forehead with the fire of a torch: You said you didn't want to tell me? He was so burned that he screamed and pushed the torch: I said, I said, I exchanged the silver at Jiangnan Restaurant.
Hurrah! All the employees said: Let’s go to Jiangnan Restaurant.
Don't go. Wu Renyi waved his hand and said it was so late, it would not be too late to find him tomorrow morning. The employees asked: What should we do about this wine thief?
Take him back to the wine shop and tie him up. Wu Renyi ordered sharply.
Can't tie, can't tie, I want to go back. The young man argued: I gave you all the money from the stolen wine. This is tantamount to doing a good thing for you. Aren’t the wines you brew going to be sold? Even if I sell it to you, I don’t want to take credit or take my fault! Wu Renyi glared at him, slapped him, and shouted: Kneel down. The young man touched his cheek, which was hot and swollen, and knelt down obediently.
All the employees said: This guy has a slippery tone, don't let him go. Wu Renyi asked him to explain where he was from and where he lived now. The young man told half-truths and half-truths about where he lived and what happened in his hometown of Zhejiang. He also said that he came from Zhejiang to beg, and that he did such dirty things because of the lack of security in begging. As the saying goes: Famine brings out the desire to steal. I am forced to steal property because of life. I hope the wine shop owner will forgive me.
Wu Renyi did not fully believe it, so he asked his employees to take him back to the winery, find a thick rope and tie him to a large pillar in the wine storage room, then install a big lock and lock the door. While he was being tied, he lay on the ground. The barbarian among the employees asked him to stand up and tie him against a pillar. He said that it was hard to sleep in that way. The barbarian said that he deliberately prevented you from sleeping. The more uncomfortable it makes you, the more we will forgive each other. . Wu Renyi said to let him lie down on the ground and tie him up, even if it gave him some benefits, it wouldn't hurt.
The next day, when Wu Renyi led his employees to open the door of the wine storage room, he was still lying on the ground and snoring. Hu Chuanxin rushed over and kicked him awake, then untied one end of the rope from the pillar. The rope tied to his body was not untied, so Hu Chuanxin helped him up and pulled him out.
All the employees gathered around to see that this young man still had a painted face - his face was covered in mud spots. When his eyes were opened, there was a circle of mud around his eyelids, which looked very scary. Hu Chuanxin said to Wu Renyi: Wash his face!
No, this is a piece of evidence. Wu Renyi said: This is clear evidence that he left Jiangnan Restaurant and passed out drunk in the countryside.
Untie me! With so many of you looking at me, I can’t run away. He squirmed and yelled, "It's so uncomfortable to be tied up like this." Wu Renyi glared at him, and all the employees looked at each other. Hong Qiaoyun shouted: "I'll make you uncomfortable. Who told you to be a thief? This is the consequences of being a thief."
Didn’t I give you all the money from the stolen wine? He stamped his feet and said that if you feel that you have lost money, I will take you to Jiangnan Restaurant to get the wine back. You just need to return the money in full. Wu Renyi felt that what he said made sense, so he asked Hu Chuanxin to untie him. He shamelessly asked Wu Renyi for a breakfast of fried leftover rice.
Under the leadership of Wu Renyi, the employees escorted the wine thief to the owner of Jiangnan Restaurant to explain his purpose and asked the boss to pay extra money according to the market price to their Xinghua Village Winery. The boss was not easy to talk to. He looked at the young man with mud spots on his face and said stiffly: How do I know he is a thief? There is no word "thief" written on his forehead. You said he stole more than 10 jugs of wine and sold them. I saw that he only got 7 jugs of wine. After giving him so much money, our restaurant still suffered a loss.
Since they couldn't talk to each other, Wu Renyi didn't want to give in, and the restaurant owner didn't want to give him an extra tael of silver. There was no result in arguing like this. The wine thief testified that he sold more than 10 jugs of wine, but it didn't work here, because there was no establishment. After submitting the evidence, Wu Renyi refused to admit defeat and appealed to the county government. The county government believed that this was a civil case of little value, so both parties secretly stuffed some money in the hope of winning the case.
The county magistrate got some benefits from the original defendant and did not offend each other. He only found out the identity of the thief. His name was Bai Delai and he was a habitual thief. He immediately ordered him to be fined fifty bucks and ordered him to do voluntary labor in the winery for half a year to offset the losses caused to the winery owner Wu Renyi.
Since the day when the thieves were punished, the area south of the Yangtze River has become much more peaceful. For a time, there was a good scene in the neighborhoods and villages where people did not pick up things on the road and kept their doors open at night. If a naughty child occasionally does something sneaky and trivial, the adult will not only shame him, but also scold him: Hey, he stole eggs when he was a child, and he stole eggs when he was older. The child often asks: So what if he steals Huang Gu? Aren’t you capable?
You're talking nonsense. Stealing porn is a crime. The adult frowned and said with an example: Do you know? Did the thief from Zhejiang get it for free and get good results? He stole someone else's wine and sold it, got drunk and dumped it in a field. He was caught, tied up, and ended up doing hard labor in a wine shop. He was beaten every day for being dishonest. It was really miserable. The child listened silently, then half-opened his eyes and looked at the adult and said: Bai Delai is a bad guy, I don't want to imitate him, I want to imitate a good person.
Catching a thief educates many people, and good folk customs emerge. In this way, the day and night patrols sent to the human world by the Yin Division know best, and they know even more clearly that the rat spirit that promotes good and suppresses evil plays an important role.
So the deeds of the rat spirit became the reputation of some ghost servants in the underworld. This story reached the ears of the Wheel-turning King. He was also moved, so he called Black and White Wuchang and ordered them to find the rat spirit overnight.
The rat spirit was in a village house, bewitching a sinister man in his fifties. His name was Wu Thant, and his wife was Ma Guilan. He had epilepsy in the middle of the night. Wu Dan fell asleep and couldn't understand, so the rat spirit turned into a human being. The enemy slashed at him with a knife...
