"Get out of here, Master!"
Jiang Xiaoyu was so angry that he yelled, "You are here to steal gold, and I am here to cut linen to make beds. Can I be the same as you? You have all admitted it, and you are gold thieves. I have not admitted it, and I am here to cut linen." of."
The strong men who were escorting couldn't help laughing, "Haha... This kid's mouth is really tougher than a rock. Let's see how the mayor deals with him later!"
[Hmph... I just don’t admit it, let’s see what you can do to me? 】
Jiang Xiaoyu made up his mind to be tough to the end, and at the same time he kept cursing the mayor.
"Hey Zhu Renxia, you are really nothing. Not only did you not speak up for me, you actually asked someone to hang a sign around my neck and parade me through the streets. Are you going to do this to my brother-in-law?"
"Just wait and see if my parents look for you at night? If you make things difficult for me again, I wish you a son with no butthole..."
"That's not right. The child my sister gave birth to is my nephew. He can't have a butthole, bah bah bah!"
"I'll say it again, Zhu Renxia, listen carefully. If you make things difficult for me again, I hope the son you have with your concubine doesn't have an asshole!"
Jiang Xiaoyu held his head high, his inner drama was extremely rich, and he didn't care about the pointing eyes along the street.
"These guys are the thieves who stole the gold last night."
"It's really abominable. You even dare to steal the gold from the gods. You really have the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, and you are not afraid of punishment from the gods!"
"Hey...that's not Xiaoyu. Why was he caught?"
"No, he's really a little fish. What's going on with this kid? Could it be that the People's Youth League arrested the wrong person? They don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face. They are not giving the mayor face by doing this, right?"
"Yes, this will bring disgrace to the mayor and Axiu's face. I'm afraid even Brother Sanli will feel embarrassed."
"You don't know. I heard that the mayor named Xiao Yu'er to be severely punished. This child is only thirteen or fourteen years old. He is so naughty. Not to mention moving out to live alone, not going to the school to study, not going to the school field to practice, the whole God knows how to catch a fish, so it’s time to discipline him!"
"What are you looking at?"
When Jiang Xiaoyu heard someone mention his name, he gritted his teeth and glared, "I was wronged. The bandits in Wulong Mountain bullied people. Don't talk nonsense, otherwise I will climb on the roof and block your chimney in a few days." .”
Everyone shook their heads: "This child is getting more and more naughty. If he is not properly disciplined, he will become even more unruly and willful when he grows up."
Not long after, all five thieves were escorted to the school grounds.
From a distance, we can see that the huge school ground is already overcrowded, crowded with men, women, old and young, and many townspeople are coming in an endless stream to participate in today's conference.
Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at the table in the center of the school ground and found Zhu Renxia sitting in the middle, his sister Jiang Axiu sitting next to him, and on both sides were Jiang Guanjun, Jin Zhu, Zhao Yun and other Chang'an Town officials.
"snort!"
Jiang Xiaoyu rolled his eyes, turned his nostrils upward, and pretended not to see Zhu Renxia and his wife.
He knew in his heart that blood was thicker than water. No matter how angry his sister was with him, she would not punish him seriously. As long as he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it, no one could do anything to him!
Soon it was noon.
Zhu Renxia stood up suddenly and shouted: "Bring in those five thieves who were coveting gold and trying to steal it last night."
"Go up!"
"Go faster!"
Following a burst of shouting, the five thieves who attempted theft, including Jiang Xiaoyu, were escorted to the stage, causing a commotion in the audience, and people pointed at their noses and talked.
When the discussion in the audience quieted down a little, Zhu Renxia scanned the crowd and lectured loudly:
"Everyone has enough food and clothing in Chang'an Town, and has lived a life without worries about food and clothing. This time Taoist Master Tianzun's jewelry fell in our Chang'an Town. I have repeatedly warned everyone not to take advantage of this golden dragon, otherwise they will be expelled from Chang'an Town .
But these five people still turned a deaf ear and secretly touched the west city wall last night with evil intentions. They were caught by Min Zhuang of the Junzi Company and all the stolen goods were taken away from them.
Money and silk are certainly attractive, but Chang'an Town treats you well, right? From the days when you were hungry and cold to living in a big house and eating white rice and fine salt, you are still lawless and contemptuous of the town's rules. Do you know that you are wrong? "
Except for Jiang Xiaoyu, the other four thieves knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Mayor, have mercy, I was wrong, I was lost in thought!"
"Mayor, please forgive me. You can't drive me away. I still have children and a wife. We can't live without Chang'an Town!"
"Mayor, please show your respect. I was drunk last night and made a big mistake. Please have mercy on me, mayor."
"I am not a human being. I am guilty. I will repay kindness with hatred. I ask the mayor to give me a lighter sentence."
Seeing the four thieves who had made mistakes kneeling on the ground crying and piously admitting their mistakes, Zhu Renxia's tone became softer: "For the sake of your first mistake, we in Chang'an Town can give you a chance to change your ways... …”
"Thank you, mayor."
"Thank you, Lord Mayor. I kowtow to you here..."
Zhu Renxia continued to announce the punishment: "Although the crime of expulsion can be waived, the punishment is indispensable. I now sentence the four of you to build roads for one year, with no work points and only enough food to sustain your life. Do you agree or not? ?”
"I accept it, I accept it!"
"As long as my family is allowed to stay, I don't want work points. I'm willing to work for our Chang'an Town for free!"
"I'm convinced too. Not to mention not giving you work points for one year, it doesn't matter if you don't give me work points for two or three years, as long as I can give you a bite to eat."
Zhu Renxia added: "Then you should make self-examinations one by one in front of the whole town, tell your names, and tell what is in your heart, so that the villagers can learn from it and not make such mistakes again in the future."
"My name is Dong Cungen. I am guilty. I am not a human being. I should not have thought of stealing..."
"My name is Li Er, and I am also guilty. I shouldn't drink, and I shouldn't get hot-headed after drinking..."
After the four people finished their review, Zhu Renxia waved his hand and said: "Go on, go to the town committee to report to Commissioner Zhao later. In the next year, you have only one task: to build roads for free."
"Yes, mayor."
"Thank you, mayor."
The four people kept saying "hehe", and after Minzhuang stepped forward to help them untie their hands and feet, they all left the stage with their heads lowered in shame.
In the end, only the leader of Chang'an Town, who was sitting on a chair, and Jiang Xiaoyu, who was tied up with a "gold thief Jiang Xiaoyu" sign hanging around his neck, were left on the stage.
"Jiang Xiaoyu, what did you say?"
Zhu Renxia stood in front of Jiang Xiaoyu with his hands behind his back and glared at him sternly, "Even now, are you still unwilling to admit your mistake?"
Jiang Xiaoyu raised his head and looked at the sky: "I don't admit my mistake. I just wanted to cut some linen to make a bed. I didn't want to steal gold. It was the people from Wulong Mountain who slandered me!"
"Haha... You have such a tough mouth, I wish your bones were this hard!"
Zhu Renxia wished he could give his brother-in-law a slap in the face, but it was a pity that such a naughty person would not be able to wake him up due to his physical pain.
At this moment, Shi Sanmei climbed onto the stage and said expressionlessly: "Mayor, I will report Jiang Xiaoyu."
Jiang Xiaoyu was stunned: "Third sister, what are you going to do? Don't talk nonsense!"
Shi Sanmei ignored Jiang Xiaoyu, as if she didn't hear what he said.
"At midnight last night, Jiang Xiaoyu came to see me and said he would give me a gem necklace. Then he left. He went to the West City Wall to steal gold and gems, not to cut linen at all. The bedding at his home I made it for him, using five pounds of new cotton, which is thick and soft."
Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly became anxious. He was not afraid of anyone poking his spine, but he was afraid that Shi Sanmei would look down on him.
"Third sister, what are you talking nonsense about? I, I am doing this for you..."
Seeing Jiang Xiaoyu's crazy look, even though Shi Sanmei felt very sad, she still followed Zhu Renxia's instructions and said: "Mayor, I want to cancel the engagement..."
