23. The law is strict

She opened her eyes in pain, but suddenly she narrowed her eyes.

Just now, the moment the curtain was lifted, the moonlight shone in, and she could see clearly, and a pair of dirty hands flashed quickly from her eyes.

A thief?!

The car is very quiet.

All the people who took the bus were leaning or squatting, and no one noticed what happened just now.

Feng Changqing closed her eyes and pretended not to know. She touched her belt without any trace in the dark, and then found that the small waist bag was missing.

In her pocket, there was the money she had saved during this period.

Not much, only five taels.

She leaned against the wall of the car, half-bumped and looked in the direction where the hand was retracted.

The car was very dark, and she only saw a very short figure.

She remembered that she was a child, her face was so dark that she couldn't see clearly, her hair was as messy as a bird's nest, and she kept napping while holding her knees.

There were indeed peddlers on this car, and only he was wearing the blue skirt prepared by the Su Mansion at that time, which looked a little bit oily.

Feng Changqing laughed at himself.

She was wronged by Lan Cheng once, and she hated the thief. Even if they were to survive, she could not forgive her.

She closed her eyes, but quietly observed the child.

This child seemed to be a habit. In less than half an hour, he touched everyone's waist bags in the car, and even the gray-haired deadbeat didn't let go.

When it was getting gray and dawn, the coachman also squeezed in.

He drove the car all night and was really tired. He had arrived at the gate of the next city. It was less than the hour and the city gate had not opened yet, so he wanted to rest for a while.

The child naturally would not let him go, so he touched the coachman's wallet, and then buried his head and slept between his knees.

An hour later, the city gate opened.

The coachman stretched and cheered up, rushed into the city, found a place to solve the breakfast problem and feed the horses.

Everyone in the car got out of the car.

This is just a small town. It was just dawn and there were few people. They stopped in front of a dilapidated shed, and a middle-aged couple was selling sesame cakes under the shed.

"Come two sesame cakes, and ask for another bucket of water to drink horses." The coachman has been walking this road to give people away for several years, and he is a regular customer with a middle-aged couple.

The couple laughed and said, "It's pretty early today, should I go to Yuncheng?"

"Yes, the wife at home gave birth to another one. You can't make more money if you don't rush to the night!"

The man selling cake joked: "Is it born again? How many are you? You are really energetic and have plowed a lot at night."

The coachman chuckled, "What are you talking about dirty words."

"Okay, okay, your pancake." The man smiled and handed over the thing over, the coachman took it, and several passengers also bought pancakes to fill their stomachs.

When the coachman brought a large bucket of water to drink the horse, he found that two people were missing.

Is it in the car?

He didn't care much, probably because he didn't have much money, so he didn't need to fill his stomach. He didn't know how many of these people he encountered in a year.

After drinking the horse and eating two cakes, the coachman was about to shout people to get in the car and set off, but a passenger suddenly rushed up and grabbed the coachman's collar: "You black-hearted man, did you steal my money while I was asleep in the middle of the night?!"

The other few people rushed over and surrounded the coachman, "Look at what you paid honestly, you are actually a thief. Come back our money!"

When they had to pay for the cake, they found that their purse had long disappeared.

The coachman widened his eyes and said, "Nonsense! I don't!"

"I dare to argue, we and you are the only ones in the car. We lost the money. Isn't it you or others? Return it to us quickly, otherwise we will meet the official!"

The laws in Hailing are strictly enforced, and stealing is a must for punishment and compensation for all lost property.

These coachmen are not afraid, and he didn't steal them.

But it will definitely take a lot of time after a while.

"Wait! There are two more in the car-" Nian Cheng, who was driving the car and seeing off passengers, has grown up, and he knows that some of the habitual stealing will mingle in the car...

He quickly touched his waist, and it was empty, and his wallet was nowhere to be seen.

"Get out of the way!" He pushed away the person blocking him, ran over and lifted the curtain, and there was no one inside.

"These are messy and scum!" The coachman cursed in anger.

But how could those passengers let him go and surrounded him, just asking him to give an explanation, "I don't care. I'm in your car. If you lose something, you have to take responsibility! Let's go and meet the official!"

"When you meet the official--" the coachman gritted his teeth, "I'm still afraid that you won't do it, I didn't steal it!"

"I'm still stubborn. When I see the official, I see if you can continue to stubborn!"

"Are you looking for these?" At this moment, a clear female voice sounded, "I think this is what you are looking for."

Several passengers and coachman turned around and saw the purse in Feng Changqing's hand and the child holding it in his other hand, and immediately understood.

The coachman strode forward: "You little bastard, when I was riding the bus yesterday, I saw you sneaky. It turned out to be a thief! Let's go and meet the official! You're so happy at such a young age!"

Several passengers stepped forward one after another and took back their wallets, so naturally they were grateful.

"Thanks to the girl, otherwise we would be wronged by the good people."

"Yes, this money is the only savings in the family. I really don't know how that adult from that family taught such a thief..."

Feng Changqing saw the child who was grabbed by the coachman and walked towards the government office, staring at her, with a resentful look in her eyes.

"The thief will be killed if he steals his fingers. This thief will not be able to steal it in the future. It's really satisfying."

An old voice sounded, and Feng Changqing's body shook, "So serious?"

"Don't you know? The law has always been very strict under the rule of King Hailing."

Feng Changqing pursed her lips. She hated stealing, but that was a child.

She strode forward and caught up with the coachman in front, "Wait!"

"What are you doing?" The coachman squinted at her. Could it be that this girl knew that there was a reward for catching a thief, and she came to grab the reward for money?

"I arrested him. If he wanted to send him to the official, I would also send him."

The coachman laughed and mocked, "You caught? I see you are all in the same group." He was rewarded with a lot of money by catching thieves. He often walked on this road, and he knew very well, but those people didn't know that he didn't want to share money with so many people.

The coachman looked at her and saw that she was weak and too lazy to say more to her, "Go and go...uh--"

Before he finished speaking, he was stumbling in his throat and looked at the girl in front of him with a pale face.

He was obviously a girl who seemed to be only eleven or twelve years old, but her hands were so powerful that she was so strong that she pinched his wrist so lightly, but her face turned pale in pain, and she grabbed the child's hand and let go of it.

The child ran away.

When several passengers who lost money came to the scene, he had already disappeared.

"You...you ghost girl." The coachman was very angry. If he was an ordinary person, he would have to ask for an explanation, but this girl seemed to be difficult to mess with. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think about getting into my car!"

"Then return the car money to me." Feng Changqing said lightly, blocking the way the car boss was.

She paid for the car fee for Yuncheng and now she has only left half of it.

The owner of the car gritted his teeth, glanced at his swollen wrist, reluctantly retreated to Feng Changqing's ten copper plates, and shouted at the other passengers to set off.

Feng Changqing watched the carriage hit him and splashed dust.

She put the copper plate into her waist bag, planned to eat something and then find a car to set off again, but suddenly she was stunned.

Her waist bag...
