"Shopkeeper, give us that."
"That's it!"
Mu Qing happily pointed at the hairpin in the box. She couldn't wait to see her trophy.
That's right, what Gu Sinian caught was hers.
But the stall owner remained motionless and said expressionlessly:
"I'm sorry, gentlemen, but that hairpin is not a prize. It can only be seen, not used."
"What, you can't use it?"
Mu Qinghuan's laughter stopped suddenly and he said doubtfully:
"Since it can't be used, why did you put it there? Since it can't be used, why didn't you say it in the first place?"
"The villain was negligent."
The stall owner said calmly:
"How about you put a new one on it? I can give you two hoops."
"You, you, you are cheating!"
Mu Qinghuan's anger suddenly rose:
"I don't care, you must give me the hairpin today, otherwise we will report it to the official!"
"Reporter? Hahaha!"
The stall owner sneered:
"You are quite tough.
I tell you, don’t toast or eat as a penalty! Brothers, come out! "
Three men suddenly walked out of the alley behind the stall. They were wearing baggy clothes and stared at the two men with unkind eyes. They were typical local gangsters.
And the stall owner also smiled triumphantly:
"How about it, do you still want the hairpin now?"
He makes money, but he doesn't come out to be taken advantage of, like Gu Sinian does, and has to sell his pants.
"It turned out to be a black shop."
Gu Sinian was speechless and his interest suddenly disappeared.
No wonder the stall owner placed his stall in a small alley like this, which is sparsely populated, to prevent someone from getting into trouble if they get valuable items.
Oh, what a disappointment~
"So there is help?"
Unexpectedly, Mu Qinghuan had no stage fright in the face of four men, and said with his hands on his waist:
"I tell you, no matter how many people there are, I am not afraid!
Today, you have to give me this hairpin no matter what! "
"Oh, you are so brave!"
One of the thugs, who seemed to be the leader, twisted his neck and cursed:
"Since you refuse to leave, then we can only beat you until you become paralyzed!"
"I'm not afraid of you, huh!"
Mu Qinghuan took a step back and pushed Gu Sinian to the front:
"I can tell you, he is very good at hitting, one can hit ten!"
Gu Sinian was stunned. Did he think of using him as a shield at this moment?
"he?"
"Hahaha!"
"You're laughing so hard!"
Several rogues glanced at Gu Sinian first, and then laughed disdainfully.
In their view, Gu Sinian, who was thin and weak and not even twenty years old, had no intimidating power at all. He can fall down with just one blow of wind, but he still beats ten of them?
Although they are not strong, they can win four against one. However, one of the gangsters frowned. He seemed to think that Gu Sinian looked familiar.
"Quickly, beat them! Beat them hard!"
"Hurry up! Take it out on me."
"snort!"
Mu Qinghuan shook Gu Sinian's arm, her clear voice and intimate movements made it feel like she was acting coquettishly.
Such a scene made the four rogues feel a chill.
Gu Sinian was pushed to stand up, helplessly looked at the four people spreading their hands and said:
"Give us the things and it's over for today."
"What are you talking about, that's all for you?"
One gangster said in disbelief:
"Hahaha.
Boy, are you afraid you still don’t understand the current situation?
Let me tell you, not only can you not get the contents of the sleeve, but you also have to hand over all the coins in your pockets today!
Otherwise, you will have to suffer a physical torture~"
"Hey hey hey~"
The sinister laughter of several people echoed in the alley.
Gu Sinian asked with wide eyes:
"Don't you know me?"
"Know you? Who are you? Do you know me? Do you know me, the King of Heaven?"
"Let me tell you, our brothers only care about money!"
"Hurry up and hand over all the valuable items you have! You're so stupid!"
Obviously, these people didn't take Gu Sinian seriously from beginning to end.
"listen."
Gu Sinian just slapped the person in front of him carelessly:
"My name is Gu Sinian, young master!"
"What do I care about you? Pay the money!"
"That's not right. I seem to have heard this name somewhere. It sounds familiar~"
Some people were confused, and some were vicious. Only the person who looked familiar to Gu Sinian had a look of fear on his face, and said tremblingly:
"Gu Sinian, you, are you Gu, Gu Dianshi?"
As soon as Gu Sinian said these three words, everyone fell into silence and their expressions became frightened.
A few days ago, Gu Sinian's implementation of the land leasing order became famous in the city, especially when he beat several gangsters to death on the street. His ferocious methods made the local gangsters frightened.
This man had a good memory. He was present when the gangsters were killed under the land lease order. Although he stood far away, he had seen Gu Sinian.
Gu Sinian~
These three words can be extremely intimidating.
"Hey, it seems that someone still knows Bendian Shi."
Gu Sinian smiled slightly:
"Then do I still have to pay?"
"Plop~"
The skinny stall owner knelt down first and said almost with a cry:
"Gu, Mr. Gu, I have offended you because of my blindness. Please be noble and let us go!"
"Thump thump!"
Several people knelt down one after another and begged for mercy:
"Sir, please spare the little one, we are blind to offend you."
"We were wrong, really wrong."
Mu Qinghuan's eyes widened. She didn't expect that Gu Sinian still had such a prestigious reputation in Fengchuan County. He really can't be judged by his appearance~
Gu Sinian deliberately pretended to be fierce and asked:
"Let me ask you, how many people have you deceived using this method? How much money have you defrauded?
Um! "
The stall owner trembled all over and said with a sad face:
"Sir, you think highly of us. It's just a small stall like this. There are only a few people there from morning to night. We can only get a few copper coins a day.
We have never hit anyone with a dirty hand! What an injustice!
Sir, please spare us. We will never do it again. "
Gu Sinian basically believed this. Firstly, this stall was indeed a bit off the road and there were usually not many people there. Secondly, looking at the courage of these people, it didn't look like they would dare to break someone's legs.
That is, I bumped into someone like Mu Qinghuan, a pure and important customer.
"Okay, stop kneeling and get up and talk."
Gu Sinian's tone softened a lot.
"Hey, okay, thank you, sir."
"By the way, this is for you, sir."
The stall owner gave the hairpin to Gu Sinian with all his might. He didn't dare to show any sign of reluctance anymore, for fear that Gu Sinian would beat them to death on the spot.
Gu Sinian weighed the hairpin in his hand. It was indeed not a high-quality product, but it certainly couldn't be bought with a few copper coins. These guys would have suffered a heavy loss when they met Gu Sinian.
"Here, this is yours~"
Gu Sinian handed it to Mu Qinghuan, and she immediately held it in her hands like a treasure.
Gu Sinian looked at a few people and said:
"I won't embarrass you, just pack up and leave. Don't do this kind of thing in the future. If you are caught by me next time, you won't be so easy to talk to.
You can't make money by cheating and cheating, so if that doesn't work, just plant some land. If you don't get land, go to the county government office. There should be some wasteland left.
A man is a true man, self-reliance is stronger than anything else, and he can straighten his back even when walking on the road. "
"Ming, I understand, thank you, Master Gu!"
"Thank you, sir!"
As if they had been granted amnesty, the few people hurriedly wrapped up all the items on the ground, fearing that Gu Sinian would regret it.
"etc!"
Just when they were about to run away, Gu Sinian stopped them.
The stall owner looked stiff and trembling:
"Sir, do you have any other instructions?"
Gu Sinian took out the last dozen copper coins in his pocket and handed them to the stall owner under Mu Qinghuan's blank eyes:
"Take it, that's all I have, I'll just buy this hairpin from you."
The stall owner was stunned on the spot, and then took a step back:
"Sir, please stop making fun of us. How can we accept this money?
Don't don't. "
"Just take it if I tell you to!"
Gu Sinian glared at him: "Either take it, or follow me to the county government office!"
As soon as these words came out, the stall owner immediately took the money:
"Thank you, thank you, sir!"
"Let's go, find a way to make a living by yourself in the future, don't just mess around!"
"I understand, see you later, sir!"
Several people ran away quickly, not daring to stay for a moment.
Gu Sinian then looked at Mu Qinghuan with a smile and said:
"This hairpin is okay, just consider it a gift from me. After all, I am also the host.
Haha~"
"Cut~"
Mu Qinghuan glanced at Gu Sinian with disdain:
“It’s so stingy that I have the nerve to say it.
However, this girl was generous and reluctantly accepted it. Hehe~"
Gu Sinian didn't mind either, and hummed with his hands behind his back:
"Okay, let's go back."
Mu Qinghuan carefully put away the hairpin, and then asked curiously:
"Why don't you give them money instead of beating them up? And you also give them advice on how to live in the future?
You are being too polite. "
After all, Mu Qinghuan was Biejia's daughter. She had seen many young masters serving as officials in Langzhou. If those people had encountered the situation today, these scoundrels would have lost their hands and feet, or even their lives. .
"Why bother them."
Gu Sinian said casually:
"You beat them today, and they hold a grudge. If they encounter someone who is easy to bully in the future, they will definitely get their money back with profit.
This is called retribution.
But wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could persuade them to change their ways and become self-reliant? "
Mu Qinghuan seemed to understand, but still didn't understand.
Gu Sinian had to stop and asked:
"Who are they?"
"Them? Are they thugs? Hooligans?"
"No, they are the people of Fengchuan County, the people!"
Gu Sinian pointed at himself and asked:
"And me?"
"You? You are Gu Sinian, the Dianshi of Fengchuan County."
Mu Qinghuan was completely puzzled by the meaning of Gu Sinian's question.
"right!"
Gu Sinian said in a deep voice:
"I am Dian Shi. Although I have no rank, I can barely be considered a half official.
Aren’t officials supposed to plan for and think about the people? Why bully the people? "
Mu Qinghuan's face changed slightly, and his face was full of astonishment.
For the people, for the people's livelihood.
Yes, they say parents are officials, but why do they subconsciously become officials and can bully the people at will?
Just as she was pondering over this short sentence, Gu Sinian was already holding his head, humming, and wandering away.
Mu Qinghuan looked at the slightly resolute back, his eyes flickered, and he murmured:
"Officials do not bully the people~ Officials must serve the people~
If he were in Langzhou, my father would probably like him. "
