"No." Capt. Xing shook his head, "We were interrogated all night last night, and everyone had evidence of alibi. So everyone hit the trigger and put them all back."

"You don't have any evidence, why do you want to beat someone up?" Guo Furong asked angrily after hearing this.

"Just give me a warning in advance so that they don't get overheated and have itchy hands." Mr. Xing said confidently.

Hearing what he said, Lu Xiucai and Tong Xiangyu both showed unbearable expressions.

"Then what are you going to do next?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.

"Thieves who steal have to sell their stolen goods. I plan to search all the pawn shops within a radius of fifty miles, no, within fifty-five miles." Captain Xing replied.

"You're not too tired to panic." Guo Furong said in surprise.

"The more tiring thing is yet to come," Lao Xing said again, "If you can't find the pawn shop, you have to search the antique shop. If you can't find the antique shop, you have to search the cultural relics stall. If you can't find the cultural relic stall, then...

I had no choice but to go to a brothel."

"Brother?" Tong Xiangyu asked puzzledly.

"Think about it, if the thief doesn't sell the stolen goods, he might give it to a sweetheart." Lao Xing said with a smile.

"Oh~" Everyone suddenly realized.

"What if we still can't find it?" Xiang Nan asked again.

"Oh, that's going to be a big trouble. Mother, it may affect your career." When Lao Xing heard this, he didn't even bother to eat the fried cakes or rice porridge. He suddenly looked at the passers-by and shouted, "That boy, stop, tell me

Here~"

With that said, he put down the pancake and chased the passers-by.

…

In the next few days, Capt. Xing searched pawn shops, antique shops, cultural relic stalls, and brothels but still found no results. Therefore, he targeted everyone under suspicion and frequently stopped and searched people on the street, which was very annoying.

bother.

As pawnshop thefts and thefts continue to ferment, it also makes people panic and uneasy. When it gets dark, they close their doors and go out less often, for fear of being stolen by thieves.

This has turned Qixia Town almost into a ghost town. There are no pedestrians on the streets during the day, and it is pitch black at night.

The business of Tongfu Inn has naturally been greatly affected. In the past, there were so many guests that they had to queue up, but now they can't get a few guests a day, which almost makes Tong Xiangyu worried to death.

"How could this happen?" Guo Furong was very surprised when she saw this situation.

She just wanted to rob the rich and give to the poor, but she didn't expect that it would have such serious consequences.

"This is all your instigation." Tong Xiangyu couldn't help complaining to Guo Furong, "Our Qixia Town has always been peaceful and peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. You have to instigate Zhantang to come back to the world.

Well, because of this theft, people are now in panic. People are afraid to go out to spend money. Many stores can’t survive, and even the store clerks have been laid off.”

"Several shop assistants have spent all their money and cannot find new jobs, so they are considering joining the beggar gang," Lu Xiucai added.

"Ordinary people are having a hard time. In order to go out less, everyone is rushing to stock up on rice and vegetables. As a result, the price of vegetables and rice has soared, and many people are unable to open the pot at home." Xiang Nan also said.

"Even our academy has suspended classes because of this." Mo Xiaobei also complained.

"Forget about our place alone, Zuojiazhuang and Shibalipu have all heard that there are thieves here. No one dares to come here. Those who drive big trucks have no business." Tong Xiangyu said again.

"Those who dig tunnels, open tea shops, sell rouge, and do tricks in Zhaozhuang, Gaojiazhuang, and Majiahezi..." The scholar also counted on his fingers.

Hearing everyone's complaints, Guo Furong was speechless, "But he just stole a ring."

…

In the evening, Bai Zhantang dressed in night clothes.

"Lao Bai, are you going out again?" Guo Furong saw this and asked quickly.

"Yes, I heard that Yuan Qiu's family has an authentic painting of Wu Daozi. It needs to be sold, at least for this amount!" Lao Bai stretched out his hand and said, "Just wait for the good news of my victory."

"No, don't go." When Guo Furong saw it, she immediately stopped her.

"What's wrong, weren't you expecting me to go before?" Bai Zhantang looked at her and said.

"It's better not to do it." Guo Furong waved her hands and said, "I didn't expect that just throwing a ring finger would cause such a big mess.

Now when I go out and take a look, people are panicking everywhere. I don’t dare to say hello to acquaintances when I meet them. They cover their wallets wherever they go, and everyone looks like a thief. Is this still how people live?”

"You finally figured it out." Bai Zhantang nodded, "Do you know why I quit the world? It's because I saw through this.

What does it mean to be a thief? It's all nonsense. A thief is a thief. There is no such thing as a good thief or a bad thief. Just stealing something, grabbing something and giving it away is called chivalry?

Take this matter as an example. Although it is a small thing, it can be just a snap of a finger, but the negative impact it causes is indelible. The social order is chaotic, the social atmosphere is bad, and the trust between people is gone in an instant.

No existence.

If this is so-called justice, then I would rather not have this kind of stolen justice."

When Guo Furong heard what he said, she suddenly realized.

"Well said, Lao Bai~" Xiang Nan said as he walked out of the house with the scholar.

"Old Bai, why didn't you say these things earlier?" The scholar also sighed with emotion.

"I told you earlier, do you believe it yourself?" Bai Zhantang said with a smile, "Besides, seeing is believing for some things."

"I won't say anything anymore, just what you said just now, I believe you." Lu Xiucai nodded.

"Well, I've always believed in you." The shopkeeper also came out and said.

"Guo Furong, where are you?" Bai Zhantang looked at Guo Furong and asked.

"Me too." Guo Furong nodded.

"Then take it out." Bai Zhantang stretched out his hand and said.

"What?! Oh!" Guo Furong immediately thought of it and returned the finger to Bai Zhantang.

"I'll send it back tonight, otherwise, Qixia Town will become a blind town." Bai Zhantang said with a smile.

After Bai Zhantang left, Guo Furong still stood there, frowning a little.

"What's wrong, you haven't figured it out yet?" Xiang Nan asked curiously when he saw this.

"I understand, but I still have a small question. Why do you think so many people have been praising robbing the rich and giving to the poor for thousands of years?" Guo Furong asked in confusion.

"It's very simple, because those who praise robbing the rich and giving to the poor are poor people. They think that their interests will not be lost, but may benefit from it, so they will praise this behavior vigorously." Xiang Nan explained, "But once it becomes public

When their interests are harmed, they will never think so.

Just like the 108 generals of Liangshan, those who were favored by them were naturally called heroes who did justice for heaven. But those who were made into meat buns by Sun Erniang, whose hearts were cut out by Wang Aohu to make sober soup, and who were given two axes by Li Kui

Those who are hacked to death are naturally called thieves."
