Chapter 548: The Chivalrous Thief Xiao Shiyilang

"Idiot?" Shen Bijun didn't understand and couldn't help asking, "Why?"

Lian Chengbi and Shen Bijun had just spent a day traveling in Yangzhou yesterday. Today, the carriage just left Yangzhou and was heading to Huai'an. There was nothing much to see around at this time, so Lian Chengbi asked the servants to buy some food to entertain themselves.

Hearing Shen Bijun's question at this time, Lian Chengbi didn't mind talking to her about Xiao Shiyilang, so as to break the difference in perception caused by certain contrasts in the original work.

"He is a lone thief. It is true that he intends to steal property and harm people's lives, but it is a bit too much to be so evil and do all kinds of evil." Lian Chengbi picked up another peanut.

"In a sense, he is still a chivalrous thief." Lian Chengbi said, "From what I know, all the targets of his robbery are either bullies who are causing trouble in the village, or hidden bandits. They are not good people."

"Moreover, he did not enjoy the property he obtained from the robbery himself, but distributed it all to the oppressed people. This can be regarded as helping the needy." Lian Chengbi nodded.

"Then he is really a chivalrous thief!" Shen Bijun exclaimed, and then couldn't help but ask in confusion, "If that's the case, why does my husband say he is a fool?"

"Because he never said anything!" Lian Chengbi raised his eyebrows and said, "He did good things without leaving a name, so no one knew about what he did. Even the people who received his favor didn't know where the money came from."

Lian Chengbi said leisurely, "If that's the case, then he must be a lone thief who kills for money."

Shen Bijun opened her lips slightly, she didn't expect the truth to be like this.

However, after spending so much time with Lian Chengbi, Shen Bijun also learned to think, and couldn't help but explain, "But he can't say it. Once he does, won't the people who got the silver be retaliated against later?"

Lian Chengbi shook his head and said, "There are many ways to solve this problem. First of all, no one knows which people have been given the silver. Secondly, if anyone dares to deal with those people, he can kill them back to serve as a warning to the rest. Thirdly, he can secretly give a portion of the money and then distribute the rest in public.

His martial arts skills are not fake. Since he can do it on the first day, why not on the fifteenth? He only considers the present and not the future. I don't know whether to say he is lazy or stupid.

Acting in this way may seem like he is thinking about the people, but he is actually putting himself on the spot. His reputation will be ruined, and those ignorant people will not think well of him. "

"He is indeed a good man and does good things, but he does not have a good reputation because there is a problem with the way he does things. So do you think he is missing something in his brain?" Lian Chengbi said.

Shen Bijun was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but follow Lian Chengbi's line of thought, feeling that there was indeed nothing wrong with it.

But she suddenly thought of something, "That's not right. I heard that Mr. Li from Daming Mansion had been doing good deeds for generations, but Xiao Shiyilang took away all his property and wiped out his entire family."

"Isn't Mr. Li a good person too?" Shen Bijun asked.

Lian Chengbi continued, "The witness was the housekeeper of Mr. Li's house. He hanged himself a month later."

Shen Bijun was surprised and immediately realized, "Is it a frame-up?"

"After all, Xiao Shiyilang is a lone thief with no friends and a ruined reputation. It's safe and secure to put the blame on him. Is there anyone more suitable to be the scapegoat than him?" Lian Chengbi said with a smile.

Shen Bijun was stunned when she heard this, and felt a little pity for a moment, "Then he is too pitiful..."

"He is really pitiful, and really stupid." Lian Chengbi said.

Shen Bijun couldn't help but ask, "Since his reputation is ruined, how can he defend himself?"

"It's still based on his martial arts. He uses whatever problems arise to solve them!" Lian Chengbi said, "His martial arts are obviously very good, but when he was blamed, he didn't investigate and just accepted it silently. If he had investigated thoroughly the first time he was blamed, uprooted the people who wanted to frame him, and deterred others, then all those who wanted to slander him would surely think twice and wonder if it was worth it to risk their own lives."

This is the difference between Xiao Shiyilang and Chu Liuxiang. Both of them are lone thieves, but he was the one who caught the real culprit in all the cases framed on Chu Liuxiang, so Chu Liuxiang's reputation is much better than Xiao Shiyilang's.

"But he didn't." Lian Chengbi said calmly, "Whether he was disdainful, lazy, or didn't care, he didn't do anything to save his reputation.

Once there is a first case, there will be a second one. Once there is a second one, there will be a third one. Many unsolved cases were pinned on Xiao Shiyilang. From then on, he became a lone thief who was evil and committed all kinds of crimes. "

Shen Bijun could not help but fall into silence, not knowing what she felt in her heart. She could not help but sigh and said, "If he is a good person, he should not be wronged like this."

Shen Bijun was a kind person. Even if she thought that what Lian Chengbi said was correct, she would not make fun of Xiao Shiyilang for it.

"Character determines destiny, and choices determine consequences." Lian Chengbi shook his head and said, "His martial arts skills are high enough. If he wanted to, he could actually handle these things. The reason he became like this is indeed because of his own choices."

"Maybe he thinks he is unrestrained and uninhibited, disdains to associate with vulgar people, and looks down on the hypocrisy of the world." Lian Chengbi spread his hands and smiled, "He himself doesn't feel sorry for himself, what qualifications do we have to step in and feel sorry for him?"

Xiao Shiyilang's favorite ditty is about sympathy for wolves, which is unconventional.

Shen Bijun was speechless for a while, and then she heard Lian Chengbi summarize, "Everyone has their own destiny. Xiao Shiyilang's reputation has become so bad that he can still enjoy himself and feel happy all day long. In fact, I admire him a lot."

Shen Bijun couldn't help laughing out loud, "He's already in such a miserable state, and you're still laughing at him, husband?"

Lian Chengbi pointed at Shen Bijun and said, "Look, you laughed too."

Shen Bijun said angrily and amusedly, "My husband is just teasing me."

Shen Bijun smiled and poured a glass of wine for Lian Chengbi, "After marrying my husband, I realized that this world is so complicated. We can't just look at the surface of all people and things."

"This world may seem complicated, but it's not difficult to deal with." Lian Chengbi raised his glass and took a sip of wine. "When you meet people, be careful not to give them your whole heart. Our ancestors have long since summed up the way for us to deal with people."

Shen Bijun sighed, "I know."

"Why are you sighing? What do you know?" Lian Chengbi asked.

Shen Bijun gave Lian Chengbi a seductive look and said faintly, "My husband said this because he thinks I'm stupid and wants me to be more careful next time."

"It's okay, it's understandable." Lian Chengbi said with a smile.

Shen Bijun asked, "How can it be justified?"

Lian Chengbi reached out and held up a soft mass, "Since your brain has grown here, it is understandable."

Shen Bijun's face turned red, and she became angry and embarrassed, "Husband~~~"
