Chapter 1995 Filial piety is not the reason for stealing
Chapter 1996 You are hurting him by doing this
Mengyu glanced at everyone.
"What's more, there is another point. If he succeeds this time and does something wrong without being punished, then he will taste the sweetness in the future. He will steal mine today, steal yours tomorrow, steal his the day after tomorrow, steal
He steals from the east and steals from the west.
Because you all think that it is understandable that he will fulfill his filial duty by stealing things, and it is right for him to steal from you in the future. You cannot punish him just because he steals things to support his mother.
Do you want your hard-earned property to be stolen by others? Are you willing to guard against your property being stolen by others every day?
So, you say this today just because he didn’t steal from you, so you can raise your hand and let it go. But when he steals from you, you will know that all the mistakes were made today.
Instead of loving him, you harmed him!"
Everyone broke out in cold sweat after hearing this.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that what Mengyu said was right.
If they asked Mengyu to forgive Lao Wai today, they might raise a thief for themselves tomorrow!
Gu Dongxing spoke up: "Actually, you are responsible for forgetting one thing about the town rules!"
He glanced at everyone: "Since the town rules have been set, they must be enforced. Otherwise, if other people break the rules in the future, they will say that so-and-so did not enforce the town rules, so why should I enforce them?"
If there is one, there are two, and if there are two, there are three. From now on, who will enforce the town rules? Then there will be no order in this Dafeng Town. There are even people who dare to commit murder and fire, and your safety is no longer guaranteed. You like
Is that the case?”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Finally, the person who first asked Mengyu to forgive the gangster said: "You are right. If he is easily forgiven, he will not remember his mistakes. He should be punished."
Others chimed in:
"Yes, yes, he should be punished."
"A mistake is a mistake. It cannot be made because he is trying to support his mother. The mistake does not exist."
"Yes, yes, he should be punished. He should never be judged."
…
In the end, Mengyu and Gu Dongxing did not actually cut off one of his hands, but handed him over to the town government.
In the presence of everyone, the town official cut off one of his knuckles. This made him not crippled, but also lost his nimble scissor hands that were essential for stealing, and he was punished.
In addition, he was also punished to sweep the streets of the town for a month.
Mengyu gave the medicinal materials to Jishengtang and received two hundred taels of silver. Shopkeeper Zhou was very satisfied with the batch of medicines sold by Mengyu and the medicinal properties were preserved so well.
"How did you prepare this medicine to retain its properties so well?"
In fact, if the medicinal materials that Mengyu sold to him were ordinary preparations, he would have paid a maximum of 150 taels. However, because the preparations were so good and retained 99% of the medicinal properties, he only gave 5 taels more.
Twelve.
Mengyu smiled: "This is the secret of my sect."
She couldn't say that when she was preparing the medicine, she added a thought to lock the medicine's power, right?
She guessed that she was able to lock in the power of the medicine because although her consciousness could not leave her body, her spiritual power was still there.
Shopkeeper Zhou's face turned a little red. Yes, this method of preparation is also inherited. Not only must the potency of the medicine be preserved, but the toxicity must also be removed. There are not many people who can process the medicine to this extent.
People's cooking skills will definitely not be handed over easily.
"Okay, after you collect the medicines, can you sell them to me?"
