Chapter 185: The Habitual Thief Eager to Perform a Meritorious Service
Under a big tree outside the urban village, Zhang Ming held on tightly to the middle-aged man's trouser leg and refused to let go.
Huo Qinghuang frowned slightly.
She originally wanted to interrogate this guy and rescue Yu Niang before the police arrived, but she didn't expect to be entangled by Zhang Ming and refused to leave.
"This is a murderer. If you don't leave now, be careful that he will kill you with a knife when he wakes up."
Huo Qinghuang threatened deliberately.
Unexpectedly, it would have been better if she didn't say anything. Once she said it, Zhang Ming hugged her even tighter.
"A murderer is good. As long as I catch him, I can make a contribution. If I make a contribution, I can go home!"
Zhang Ming laughed with joy.
Is this person mentally ill?
When a normal person hears about a murderer, they will all run away. But this guy not only didn't run away, but also walked closer.
Huo Qinghuang twitched his lips, his eyes flashing with golden light, and looked at Zhang Ming.
After a moment, she curled her lips, looking speechless.
It turned out that Zhang Ming lost his father when he was young. His mother was busy supporting the family and neglected to discipline him. Zhang Ming did not study hard at a young age and learned to steal and cheat.
When he grew up, he became a habitual thief, progressing from being a street pickpocket to a burglar.
Until one time, he was discovered while breaking into a house and in a panic, he hit someone on the head with a wrench, knocking the person unconscious immediately, and then he escaped.
Zhang Ming thought he had killed someone, so he took a bus and fled the city overnight.
Although he later found out that the man was not dead, he didn't dare go back.
It was not until the past two years when he heard that his mother was in poor health and had been hospitalized several times that he wanted to go back to see her, but he did not have the courage.
I just wanted to make some merit to atone for my sins so that I could go back and visit my mother with a clear conscience.
He has been selling roast duck in the urban village for a year, staring at passers-by with sharp eyes every day. Today, he finally caught one.
Still a big fish!
"You are also a habitual thief. Don't you know that even if you have done something good, it cannot offset your crimes? One thing for one thing, what's the difference between you and a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?"
Huo Qinghuang said speechlessly.
"Of course I know, but I have done meritorious service, so even if I am sentenced, my sentence will be reduced appropriately. If I behave well, I can go back to see my mother before I go to jail, so that she won't be able to find out about me and worry about me all day long."
Zhang Ming said nonchalantly.
In the past two years since he came out, he has earned some money and no longer wants to live the life of a rat in the gutter.
Huo Qinghuang looked at him for a while, and suddenly said, "If you can do me a favor, I can cure your mother's illness, not only to save you from jail, but also to find you a good place to live, so that you can play a greater role. How about it?"
After hearing this, Zhang Ming's waist tightened instantly, and he stared at Huo Qinghuang vigilantly: "What do you mean by this? Are you going to sell me out and take advantage of me?"
“…”
Huo Qinghuang's mouth twitched, she rolled her eyes at him, and snorted, "Your kidney is worth only a few dollars, my patience is limited, just tell me whether you want to do it or not?"
"There is no such good thing in the world. I'm not a fool. Don't try to fool me."
Zhang Ming shook his head vigorously, not believing it at all.
This person was simply unyielding, and Huo Qinghuang felt helpless.
But a great candidate was right in front of her, and she didn't have the patience to give up and find another one.
She sighed and said honestly, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth. If you help me, your life will not be in danger. Not only will I not sell you out, I will also give you some money. How about it, do you agree?"
It's just a matter of shortening his life by a few years. I'm sure he would be willing to do that in exchange for the peak of his life. There's no need to tell the other party.
"How many?"
When he heard that there was money to be made, Zhang Ming's eyes immediately lit up.
"Five hundred thousand."
Huo Qinghuang said lightly.
"real?!"
Zhang Ming immediately stood up and stopped pulling the man's trousers. He asked excitedly, "Do the conditions we talked about at the beginning still count?"
"count."
“Done!”
Zhang Ming rubbed his hands and laughed: "When do we start?"
It sounded as if he was about to kill someone and rob someone. Huo Qinghuang couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Wait, I'll find a place to interrogate this guy first."
"Why are you looking for somewhere else? Come to my place, it's quiet and peaceful!"
Zhang Ming volunteered himself and ignored the roast duck stall. He grabbed the man's arm and tried to carry him on his shoulders.
"I can do it myself."
Huo Qinghuang glanced at his short and thin body and said with disdain.
Then she grabbed the man's arm and strode forward as if she was carrying a chick.
Zhang Ming was stunned, swallowed his saliva secretly, and murmured: "Too amazing, it's just like carrying a chicken. I have never seen such an awesome woman in my life."
But how did she know where her home was? Wasn't the direction correct?
Zhang Ming didn't have time to think too much and quickly followed.
…
In a low and dilapidated thatched house beside a farmland about ten miles away from the urban village, Huo Qinghuang casually threw the unconscious middle-aged man to the ground.
Zhang Ming was rubbing his hands nervously, his eyes moving back and forth between Huo Qinghuang and the man, feeling both expectant and a little scared.
Huo Qinghuang stretched out her hand and tapped the man several times before slapping him on the chest.
The man woke up slowly, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Huo Qinghuang's cold face, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
"Huo Qinghuang? I have no grudge against you, why are you arresting me?"
He asked in a calm manner, but his voice was trembling slightly.
Huo Qinghuang snorted coldly: "You are asking even though you know the answer. I am asking you, where is Yu Niang? What did you do to her?"
The man's eyes dodged and he pretended to be confused: "What Yu Niang? I don't know her."
"Hard-mouthed, huh?"
Huo Qinghuang's eyes flashed, and she stretched out a finger and gently pressed it on the top of his head.
All of a sudden, the man felt a powerful force pressing down on him, as if a mountain was pressing down on his head. He saw stars and it became difficult to breathe.
"I'll give you another chance, tell the truth."
Huo Qinghuang's voice seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, and it was chilling to the bone.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on the man's forehead. He gritted his teeth and tried to hold on.
At this time, Zhang Ming couldn't help but said: "You are really a bad person. Not only did you kill someone, you also kidnapped a girl. Now you are in our hands. If you don't tell the truth, you will be in trouble."
The man glanced at Zhang Ming and felt hatred in his heart.
If this bastard hadn't been meddling in other people's business, how could he have been caught by Huo Qinghuang?
Think about how glorious Li Youhong is in Gangcheng, and how he is treated as a guest of honor by countless people. This time, he was invited by the He family and came here from Gangcheng for half a month without being discovered. But today, he happened to meet this roast duck seller, and he was unlucky for eight lifetimes.
When he gets away, I'll make sure this bastard is in trouble.
However, Master Liu entered the Huo family and there has been no news of him since then. Now that he has fallen into Huo Qinghuang's hands today, it is likely that he will not be able to escape so easily.
Li Youhong's mind raced, and a fierce look suddenly flashed in his eyes.
