When he heard that Zheng Dali was coming, Yun Chao did not go to see him. Instead, he asked Shitou to gather the villagers and walked to the grain drying field.
Bang bang bang...
Along with the sound of the gong, all the villagers in Wolong Village who could move arrived at the grain drying field.
The fire in the barn was so big that the whole village had known about it for a long time.
Now that Yun Chao has called everyone to a meeting, it must be related to this matter.
The sky had darkened, so Yun Chao ordered people to light many torches around the grain drying field. The light was so bright that even people with night blindness could see roughly clearly.
"Who is the boy lying under the platform? He seems to be still tied up?"
"I just went over to take a look. It's Lai Zhicheng's youngest son."
"Good boy, Yunji... ahem, why did Muramasa tie him up? Is this to eliminate the root cause?"
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. I heard that Lai Xiaosan set the fire?"
"Really or not, he is still a child? Do children know how to set fires?"
"You can pull him down. What's wrong with the kid? It's not like you don't know that Lai Xiaosan is the worst kid. He has been bad since he was a child. Have you forgotten that he peeped at your wife going to the latrine?"
"You...how did you know? Did you peek too?"
"..."
Seeing that people were almost there, Yun Chao asked Jia Mancang to open the gate and let Zheng Dali and others into the village.
When Zheng Dali saw the scene, his heart sank.
Seeing her son tied up and thrown to the ground like a dead dog, Lai Zhicheng's wife could not remain calm. She howled, jumped out of the carriage, and ran towards the platform.
However, before she could reach her, several spears were pressed against her chest: "Stop, take another step forward and kill without mercy!"
It's not that Yun Chao's boys are cold-blooded, the main reason is that they don't want anyone to approach Yun Chao casually.
They knew the importance of protecting Yun Chao without anyone having to explain it.
The good life we are living now depends entirely on Yun Chao. Once Yun Chao has a problem, everyone's good life will come to an end.
To protect Yunchao is to protect themselves, to protect Yunchao's interests is to protect everyone's own interests!
Therefore, after learning that Lai Xiaosan set the fire, all the boys under Yun Chao were almost furious.
Apart from being angry, he was also slightly scared. This was arson. If he attacked Yun Chao, the consequences would be disastrous!
Not only Yun Chao's boys, but most of the villagers in Wolong Village also glared at Lai Zhicheng's wife.
Everyone is now making a living on the construction site in Yunchao. They have only had enough to eat for a few days, and there is just enough food at home. Fortunately, the barn was burned. If a fire burned down the granary, wouldn't everyone have to drink from the northwest? Is the wind blowing?
With several spears pressed against her chest, Lai Zhicheng's wife realized that the current Wolong Village was no longer the Lai family's Wolong Village. Now that her surname was Yun, she could no longer walk sideways in the village!
"father……"
After recognizing the reality, Lai Zhicheng's wife did not dare to be tough, so she had to turn around and ask for help from Zheng Dali.
Zheng Dali was not as rash as her. One look at Yun Chao's formation and he knew that something was serious.
Before, when he saw the thick smoke over the village outside the village, Zheng Dali knew that the situation would be difficult to recover.
However, Zheng Dali still held on to a glimmer of hope. What if it wasn't Lai Xiaosan who set the fire? Even if it was, what if Yun Chao couldn't find the person who set the fire?
Now it seems that all hope has been lost. Lai Xiaosan is a child under ten years old. How can his plan be so carefully arranged? It is normal for someone to find clues.
"Brother Yun, Brother Yun, it's me, I'm Brother Zheng..."
Zheng Dali's words made the villagers of Wolong Village completely believe that Yun Chao had not lied to Lai Zhicheng's wife before, and he was really brothers with Muramasa of Xiahe Village!
Moreover, it can be heard from Zheng Dali's tone that Yun Chao's status is not lower than him at all, and is even higher than Zheng Dali's!
Wolong Village was one-third of an acre owned by Yun Chao. Zheng Dali didn't dare to be aggressive, so he had to beg softly.
Fortunately, Yun Chao still gave him face and asked his boy to let him go.
However, Lai Zhicheng's wife still couldn't go over. No need for Yun Chao to explain, his boy said: "Huh, who knows if Lai Xiaosan was taught to set the fire? If you are allowed to go over, what if you are not good for Muramasa?" "
Even Zheng Dali and Yun Chao's boys did not take him lightly. Li Xing and Ma Ming followed closely on both sides of him with knives, ready to kill at any time.
Zheng Dali had a wry smile on his face. If his daughter hadn't begged her hard, he wouldn't have come today anyway.
Isn't it hard to be bullied by a boy who doesn't even have hair on his head?
"Brother, please tell me what you have to say. He is still a child. If he makes any mistakes, for the sake of my face, please forgive him!"
Yun Chao smiled coldly: "Zheng Cunzheng, there is something I must ask clearly, otherwise I will not be able to sleep and eat well. Lai Xiaosan set the fire. Wasn't it your instigation?"
Zheng Dali was startled. What does the surname Yun mean? What does it involve me for? Are you planning to kill me as well?
Zheng Dali was not making random guesses. How could he not know the principle of eradicating the roots?
Worried that he would not be able to leave Wolong Village, Zheng Dali quickly explained: "Brother, you misunderstood, misunderstood, who is this man? How could he let a child set fire? You have to believe me, if I tell half a lie If you say that, I will be struck by five thunderbolts from the sky..."
Zheng Dali swore a poisonous oath for a long time, but Yun Chao stopped holding on to him: "Zheng Cunzheng, in addition to saving your grandson, do you also want to know where your good son-in-law Lai Zhicheng has gone?"
"this……"
Zheng Dali was sweating. Why didn't Yun Er play his cards according to the routine? He said it directly to his face. This didn't leave any room for change!
Before Zheng Dali could say anything, Yun Chao snorted coldly: "No need to refute, I don't know where your good son-in-law is, but I can tell you what he has done. I wonder if your daughter has told you , if she didn’t tell you, she just wanted to push you into the fire pit..."
Zheng Dali sweated even more.
There's something in Yun Er's words. Is there some hidden secret here that he doesn't know about?
"Big girl, is there anything else you haven't told me?"
Lai Zhicheng's wife shook her head like a rattle: "Yun Er, you boy is so slanderous. Even if we don't deal with you, you can't accuse him unjustly. You keep saying that he colluded with bandits and wanted to plot against Wolong Village. What evidence? It’s all your own nonsense..."
Yun Chao smiled coldly: "Evidence? Haven't I already found someone to confront Lai Zhicheng? That's not even evidence. What more evidence do you want?"
