Chapter 268
Although I don't understand what kind of beads Zhiyu has has anything to do with whether my sister-in-law is awake or not, but since everyone has found them, there must be some connection.

After calling a few yamen servants to follow, they took Lin Yicheng and the others to arrest people.

There are only two groups of petty thieves in Yancheng, and their positions are not bad. They only do petty theft on weekdays, so there are not many people to take care of them.

A few people were gathered in a small broken building on the west side of the city, except for a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks and another man with thick brows and small eyes and an honest face, there was a white-haired lame old beggar and two dolls.

The two dolls were thin and small, shrank aside and dared not speak.

"That girl is stupid, if she can't, let's sell it to a kiln." The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks spat, looked at the little girl in the corner and snorted coldly.

This little girl can't steal anything every time, and she is always caught.

Really useless!
"With her appearance, can she be sold?" The old beggar on the side poked the little girl with a wooden stick and sneered.

The little girl was poked by him with a wooden stick. She wanted to cry out in pain but didn't dare, so she could only bite her lips and curl up into a ball to prevent herself from making a sound.

She knew where the kiln was. The old beggar said that her mother was in the kiln.

It was A Niang who didn't want her and was picked up by the old beggar, so she survived.

"This girl doesn't look bad, even if she's a little thinner, she can sell for four taels of silver. It's better than staying with us and eating idle food." The thick-eyed man squinted for a while before rubbing his chin and said.

"It's too young, let's raise it again." The old beggar didn't speak, but knocked on the wooden stick and said.

Seeing that he didn't agree, the other two men looked at each other and shut their mouths awkwardly.

The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks took out a small purse from his arms.

Opening the purse revealed a bead inside.

The whole body of the bead is white, very round, and you can guess that it is worth a lot just by looking at it.

"This is what Xiaomi brought back today." The man's eyes were full of complacency, and he was very satisfied with the person he brought out.

"This bead is pretty good." The old beggar looked at the bead, and then at Xiaomi who looked a bit uncomfortable.

"It's just that this baby has gone to the Yamen, I'm afraid I can't keep it."

"Why, just don't let him steal in the north of the city tomorrow, and there will be no accidents if you don't have a familiar face." The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks waved his hand.

Xiaomi is the most satisfying person he has ever taken care of.

Not to mention quick hands and feet, he is also clever. Since I passed by myself last year, I have brought back many things.

"Hmph, I don't think he looks like he still wants to steal something." The rough-eyed man glanced at Xiaomi who was a little stiff, and said coldly.

"How could that be?" the man retorted.

"Did you forget how he came back yesterday?"

The white-haired old beggar drooped his head and said nothing, as if he had fallen asleep.

The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks shut his mouth.

Since Xiaomi was arrested and taken to the county government a few days ago, he was a little worried that he would confess himself.

It turned out to be fine for a few days.

Originally, he was thinking of killing him and throwing him into the river when he came out, but he saw him on the street yesterday.

Not to mention that the clothes he was wearing were changed and his body was clean, but he had twenty copper coins in his hand.

If he hadn't called him by himself, he might not have come back by himself.

Thinking of this, his face darkened.

The eyes looking at Xiaomi became colder, as if poisoned.

"Xiaomi, come here."

Xiaomi had already changed back to the dirty clothes she had at the beginning, and when she heard him call her to go over, she flinched subconsciously.

Thinking of the consequences of being disobedient in the past, I can only pass obediently.

"Why are you moaning!"

Xiaomi's body trembled, and then he hurriedly stood beside him.

"Why didn't you hurry back here yesterday?" The man's face was dark, and his hand holding the wooden stick was tightened.

"I...I..." Xiaomi clenched her hands tightly, stuttering and unable to speak.

He is looking for that woman.

He thought that if he went to prison, his life would be worse than death.

But the jailer in the prison not only didn't beat him, but also gave him food.

He showered, put on clean clothes, and for the first time felt like a human being.

The guards said they were being asked to take care of themselves.

It must be that woman. She said that she was not much older than her child, and she couldn't bear it, but if she didn't want herself, why did she let someone take care of him, a thief?
He was looking forward to getting out of prison earlier, always looking forward to seeing that woman at the door.

Otherwise, otherwise why should you be so nice to him?
But there was no one at the gate of the county yamen, and the jailer gave him twenty copper coins before going out. This was the first time he appeared in the crowd cleanly.

Don't be hated anymore.

But he couldn't be happy.

He wanted to find the woman, but was brought back in the end.

They stripped off the clothes and sold them for a hundred coins.

He became that dirty, smelly little beggar again.

"Speak!" The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks spat, stretched out his legs and kicked him.

Before Xiaomi could react, he had already fallen to the ground.

That kick hit his stomach, and the pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead.

"Damn it, I've raised you for so many years, and when I went to prison, you want to run away with all your clothes on?" The man made another kick and continued to scold, "You really are an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf! You should be strangled and thrown into the river!"

Xiaomi just curled up, with many tears streaming down his dirty face.

He looked at that woman today.

That woman is the owner of the restaurant, and she doesn't remember herself at all.

He also saw the woman holding the little doll.

He thought, if he stole the doll's things, would he be able to remind her of him?
Gradually, Xiaomi's consciousness became a little fuzzy, and he couldn't hear what the man was swearing, and even his body seemed to become a little light.

He felt that he might die.

When Lin Yicheng kicked open the door, he saw a man beating the doll on the ground desperately.

Subconsciously covered Zhiyu's eyes.

"Don't move!" Liu Jie rushed into the house with his men and arrested all three of them before questioning them.

"What did you steal today?"

Liu Jie asked coldly.

"What, we didn't steal it!" The man was pressed to the ground and said firmly.

"If you are stubborn, go to the prison and eat the whip!"

Xiaomi seemed to have heard something in a daze, and pointed to the man's arms.

Xiao Zhiyu saw his movements through Lin Yicheng's fingers, and hurriedly whispered to Lin Yicheng.

Lin Yicheng was also unambiguous, he only rummaged through the man's body, and found Zhiyu's small purse.

Apart from a few copper plates in the purse, it was the bead.

"Brother Liu, I found it." Lin Yicheng was relieved to see that Zhuzi was fine.

"That's good." Liu Jie nodded, and was about to leave.

The old beggar coughed and said, "What are you doing with me, an old beggar? I just settled here. What does their business have to do with me?"

Liu Jie looked at him, then at Xiaomi on the ground and the little girl at the side, but ignored him, and only escorted the other two to leave.

The old beggar was getting old, if he was taken away again, the two dolls would have no one to watch, and they might have to be sold somewhere else.

"Uncle, that brother, let's take him away." Xiao Zhiyu looked at Xiaomi on the ground and said with a frown.

Lin Yicheng glanced at his little nephew in surprise, then at the lifeless Xiaomi on the ground, and then bent down to pick him up.
