Huang Dadao pointed at these brothers and cursed them terribly. Only then did Damao and the others realize the seriousness of the matter.
Swallowing their saliva, Damao and the others all knelt on the ground and hugged Huang Dadao's legs: "Brother! We were wrong, we know we were wrong!"
"Brothers, we haven't done anything for a while, and we're out of money! Big Brother, your health isn't good enough to keep taking medicine, and we still need to eat and drink. We can't just steal money like before, right? How much can we steal in a month? We really have no other choice!"
"Yeah, big brother, I haven't had a full meal in several days, wuwuwu~~~"
A group of grown men knelt on the ground, holding onto Huang Dadao's trouser legs and crying bitterly. Some of them even had their snot rubbed onto Huang Dadao's legs. They looked both pitiful and disgusting.
Huang Dadao stood there, his face turning pale and blue, and he felt a little sad in his heart.
Last time he was beaten and suffered internal injuries, and he has been recuperating at home for some time. Every time he asked about money, his brothers told him not to worry and just let him recover well.
He thought his family's situation was fine, but he didn't expect it to have become so tight.
When several people hugged each other and cried loudly, the power was no less than a group of frogs croaking next to their ears.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Ji Changying swung his hand, and the wooden stick in his hand stabbed straight into the ground in front of them.
The group of people then remembered that there was a female devil here.
"belch!"
Damao was so scared that he burped and dared not cry anymore.
"A bunch of grown men with arms and legs, what can't they do? All day long, you're either thinking about stealing or idling around, and if you can't do anything else, pick up your swords and go to the battlefield to kill a few barbarians, and the military camp will provide you with food! Cowards!"
Ji Changying looked at them coldly and pulled out the stick.
Huang Dadao explained weakly: "It's not that we don't want to do the right thing, it's that no one wants us..."
This was the first time Ji Changying looked at several people so seriously.
They are all as skinny as monkeys. Although their clothes are not patched, they look dirty. Their hair is piled up in clumps, and the exposed fingernails are black. They always look at people with hunched backs and avoid them, not daring to look directly at them.
He looks guilty even though he has done nothing. It would be strange if he could find something useful to do.
…
"Okay, I'm not here today to help you find a purpose in life. Why did Han Dianshi suddenly set his sights on the grain store again?"
Ji Changying looked around and found that the only stool had been broken by her, so she could only stand while asking questions.
When talking about this, several people became excited: "Because he is short of money!"
Ji Changying rolled her eyes: "Nonsense! Of course I know he's short of money!"
Da Mao sniffed his nose and wiped it with his sleeve. "To be honest, we had the most contact with Brother Cripple before, and we weren't very familiar with Han Dianshi. Usually when he needed us, it was Brother Cripple who asked us to. It seems that it was Brother Cripple's eldest brother who asked for the money, but we don't know the details."
Liu Shugen?
Ji Changying almost forgot about this person.
When Liu Quezi died, she had been waiting for this person to appear, but she didn't expect that Liu Quezi had been dead for a month and Liu Shugen still hadn't come back.
She thought of the conversation she had heard between Liu Quezi and Han Dianshi before.
She couldn't help but think: Could it be that even though his brother is dead, Liu Shugen is still thinking about getting promoted?
It seems that this younger brother doesn’t mean much to Liu Shugen!
"Useless thing!"
Ji Changying looked down at Damao and the others, and Huang Dadao looked embarrassed.
"Didn't you ask the shopkeeper to come to our house with the money tonight? You can take me with you then."
Several people looked at her in shock, shaking their heads desperately, "No! If we offend Han Dianshi, we won't be able to stay in the city anymore!"
If they sent the evil female star to Han Dianshi's house, they would know what the end would be.
"Stop talking nonsense, it's settled!"
After Ji Changying finished speaking, without waiting for them to speak, she jumped lightly onto the roof, sat cross-legged on it and meditated, waiting for the night to fall.
Damao and the others were surprised at first, and then they were extremely envious.
If they had such good skills, they wouldn't have to live like this.
In the evening, a few people reluctantly dug up some wild vegetables from outside the city, and then they used the remaining money to buy a piece of meat and fried it. Then they stood in the yard and shouted tremblingly, "Lady, it's time to eat!"
Ji Changying saw all their little actions.
She jumped down from the roof, took a look at the blackened wild vegetables and the obviously burnt shredded meat on the table, and took out two taels of silver from her pocket with an expressionless face: "Go buy me a roast chicken, and the rest will be your errand fee."
The kidnapper happily took it with both hands: "Okay! Just wait, I'll buy it right away!"
He didn't bother to talk to others and ran out.
He bought it back in a moment, and Ji Changying returned to the roof with the roast chicken.
The kidnapper then happily took the remaining money and went to find his brothers, telling them about the incident with a beaming face.
When the agreed time arrived, several people pushed each other with embarrassed looks on their faces.
He was worried that he would not be able to report to Han Dianshi, and he was also worried that Ji Changying would really go.
Huang Dadao took a deep breath: "You guys stay at home, I'll go by myself!"
Several people fell silent: "It doesn't matter who goes."
No matter who among them goes, Han Dianshi will hold them responsible.
"I'm better at handling things than you guys, just wait at home!"
Huang Dadao stopped looking at them, greeted Ji Changying and walked out.
Han Dianshi worked in the county government for only a few years, but he went from being a yamen runner living in a cell to a wealthy man with two courtyards in the city.
Even the yard I bought was located only one street away from the county government office. Although it was at the end, the price was not cheap.
"arrive."
No matter how long this road is, it will eventually come to an end. Huang Dadao took a deep breath and went forward to knock on the door.
The two long and one short knocks on the door made Ji Changying's face change. She pulled the yellow knife in front of her and lowered her voice: "Why are you knocking like that?"
Huang Dadao's face was still filled with confusion and panic. "What's wrong? Han Dianshi told us to knock like this."
Ji Changying stared at him to make sure he was not lying, then pushed him away and stood aside with a sullen face, waiting for the door to open.
She had heard this kind of knocking sound on the door the night she ambush Madam Liu.
She thought this was the unique way of communicating between Madam Liu and Yang Tuozi, but unexpectedly, she heard it again from Han Dianshi.
With a creak, the door opened quickly.
Mo You was very surprised to see Ji Changying here: "It's you?"
Ji Changying glanced at him and pushed him open the door.
Huang Dadao followed behind and swallowed his saliva, not knowing whether he should go in or retreat.
