The old businessman looked at the protective cover and knew that this beautiful woman was a Taoist priest, so he said politely: "Then according to what the Taoist priest saw, how should we deal with this person?"
Yu Qingyao smiled and said: "You have nothing to lose now, why don't you leave him to me?"
The businessmen looked at each other and smiled, nodding one after another.
She caught the thief, so it doesn't hurt to give her face. Everyone thinks so.
Then, they regret it.
Yu Qingyao unlocked the thief's acupuncture points, and the thief got up in shock and looked at Yu Qingyao in horror.
Yu Qingyao smiled reassuringly and said: "Don't be afraid, you are young and have a bright future, why bother to be a thief. Are you willing to change your past and become a good person again?"
The thief didn't understand what it meant, but he knew that he should follow the meaning of the female crown at this time. Now she is the only one who is willing to protect himself, and he wants to anger her. If she doesn't care about it, if everyone surrounds her and fights, she will suffer a lot. He nodded hurriedly and said: "Who wants to be a thief, I have no choice. If the fairy is willing to forgive me, I will change my past and do good."
Yu Qingyao smiled gratifiedly, took a silver ingot, and said: "It's so good, here are ten taels of silver, you can use it to start a small business. From now on, you will be an upright person, and your parents will be happy when they know it. Your child When he grows up, he can tell others without shame that his father is a businessman."
She handed the silver to the thief, and the thief accepted the silver ingot in a daze, his heart was shocked. He never expected such a result.
Not to mention that the thief didn't expect it, neither did the onlookers.
Yu Qingyao winked and sent a voice transmission to the thief: "Go!"
The thief came to his senses, and if he didn't leave, those merchants would probably not let him go. He kowtowed gratefully to Yu Qingyao on the ground, then jumped up, and ran away with the protective shield on his head.
The thief was really touched by this incident, and he gave up his lucrative career as a thief and went to serve in the army. Later, he also made meritorious service and got an official position in a small school.
The reason why Yu Qingyao did this was because Bai Lianhua was not a knight, but the Holy Mother, who sent a thief to the government to be punished, that was a knight. Our Lady would not do that.
Seeing the thief run away, Yu Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was over. She stepped into the restaurant.
People on the street looked at each other, all speechless.
Some people think that this Taoist priestess is stupid and has a lot of money, some people think she is too kind, and some people think that she is really a strange woman. For example, Wang Boheng, the son of Uncle Wu Yong, who watched the whole process upstairs.
The ground of Jiangzhou is Wu Yongbo's territory, and it is the gateway to the territory directly under the Emperor Zhou. Jiangzhou is the residence of Misty Cloud Temple, and Xinhaizong is behind it.
Yu Qingyao entered the restaurant, walked to the counter, and asked the shopkeeper if there was a private seat.
While inquiring, a family general came down from the upstairs, walked up to Yu Qingyao, bowed and saluted and said, "Fairy, my family's eldest son welcomes you!"
Yu Qingyao was surprised, and said with a smile: "Who is your eldest son? We have never met before, why invite me?"
The family general respectfully and proudly said: "My family's eldest son is the son of Uncle Wu Yong. His surname is Wang, and his name is Boheng. I just saw the fairy's strange behavior, and I am very grateful. I don't think it is presumptuous to get acquainted with the fairy. Please also go upstairs to tell the story."
Yu Qingyao laughed, nodded and said, "Please lead the way!"
Along the way, she had inquired about the power situation in Jiangzhou, and she heard that he was the heir of Uncle Wu Yong, so of course she had to save face.
Under the guidance of the family general, Yu Qingyao stepped into the elegant room upstairs, bypassing the screen at the door, she saw the three young masters sitting in the banquet.
Yu Qingyao put on a gentle smile habitually, glanced at the five people at the banquet, and then her eyes fell on the young gentleman sitting on the chief seat.
Wang Boheng was wearing light soft armor, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and square mouth, and a dark complexion. He is not handsome, but he looks bold and handsome, quite masculine.
Wang Boheng had seen Yu Qingyao's face upstairs, and thought she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. Now that he got closer, he felt that she was more beautiful than ordinary people.
Yu Qingyao quickened her pace, bowed her head and saluted, "Yu Qingyao, a Taoist from Youfang, pay homage to Prince Wang!"
Wang Boheng hurriedly got up to return the salute, and said with a smile: "Fairy Yu, you are too polite, please sit down!"
Yu Qingyao brushed her clothes and sat down, and Wang Boheng introduced the other two young masters to her. Li Xianrong and Zhang Guangzu are good friends of Wang Boheng and the sons of General Jiangling.
After exchanging first and last names for a while, Wang Boheng added a few more dishes.
Li Xianrong couldn't wait to ask: "Fairy Yu, may I ask why you didn't escort the thief to the government, but gave him silver instead?"
He couldn't figure this out all the time, and whenever he got the chance, he couldn't help asking.
Yu Qingyao glanced at the expectant eyes of the three young masters, and couldn't help but understand why they invited her up.
She smiled slightly and replied: "Thieves were once good citizens. No one is born a thief. They have committed crimes, but the purpose of the law is not entirely to punish people, but more importantly, to deter people. Don’t dare to commit crimes, thereby reducing crimes.”
The three young masters nodded as if realizing something.
Yu Qingyao said: "There is nothing wrong with anyone, as long as he can change his mind. Therefore, after catching him stealing, I will ask him if he is willing to change. When he says he is willing to change, I will give him a chance to send His money is to make him have the capital to do other livelihoods."
Li Xianrong said: "What if he takes your silver and still steals it?"
Zhang Guangzu said: "That's right, this kind of untouchables, who took the fairy's money, might go to eat and drink, or lose it all in the casino. When they run out of money, they will steal again. According to me, they should Cut off his hand. Whichever hand is stolen, it will be chopped off. He will not dare to steal again if he is cut off. He will change if he has no hands to steal."
Yu Qingyao said with a smile: "What the two young masters said makes sense, but in my opinion, he can still be given another chance. A chance to regain his innocence. If he does not repent and still steals as the two young masters said, Skynet will be restored. , One day, he will still be caught, and it will not be too late to punish him then."
Wang Boheng smiled and said, "Fairy Yu, you speak beautifully."
Yu Qingyao smiled and said, "This is just my humble opinion."
Zhang Guangzu refused to accept it, and said: "If everyone is like you, then everyone will become a thief. Anyway, they won't be caught, and they can still get money."
Yu Qingyao was depressed, and said to herself: Damn it, there are also gangsters and keyboard warriors here
She said softly: "People in the world are often too harsh on others, but I want to believe that human nature is good, and it is often forced to go bad. It is better to give him a chance to be good than to beat and punish him for a small mistake, and let him It is better for people to be unable to be human again. It is better to persuade people to be good than to be frightened by harsh punishments and harsh laws.”
Zhang Guangzu shook his head, looking disapproving. He said: "Those untouchables are ignorant people, and it makes no sense to reason with them. Only strict criminal laws can make them obedient and obey the rules."
