Just when Yun Chao was having a great time teasing Xiao Yuzhu, he was in the prison cell of the county government office in Qingyang County.
Wu Er looked at the moonlight coming through the window, and for a moment he felt like he was in a dream.
Just before noon, he was still the tiger-fighting hero respected by all people and praised by everyone.
Unexpectedly, he had only been a tiger-fighting hero for a day, and before he could warm up his head in Xindu, he became a prisoner!
A fire last night not only burned down the house left by the eldest brother, but also burned him, a tiger-fighting hero who spared money and righteousness, into an arsonist.
Before Wu Er could investigate the real cause of the fire, the government servant who had just drank with him last night arrested him.
Fortunately, the yamen officials had made friends with him during the drinking session yesterday, so they just locked him in the cell without beating, scolding, or torturing him.
An older government official secretly told Wu Er that this was an order from Lieutenant Wu, and asked him if he had offended Lieutenant Wu in any way. If he had any connections, he should use them as soon as possible. Once the sentence was formally pronounced, it would be too late to find connections.
Wu Er smiled bitterly. He didn't know Wu County Lieutenant at all, so how could he offend him?
As for finding connections and pursuing connections, it wasn't that Wu Er didn't want to, it just didn't matter at all.
After feeling the shackles on his hands, Wu Er secretly made up his mind. If the dog officer really wanted to convict him of the crime indiscriminately, he would rebel against him and fight directly out of the city!
However, before the last step, Wu Er really didn't want to bear the reputation of a rebel. It would be inconvenient to do anything, and it would be even more troublesome to avenge his elder brother.
By now, Wu Er had begun to believe what Yun Chao said.
Because when he saw the neighbors on Purple Stone Street this morning, some of them had evasive eyes, and he could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with them.
Wu Er lost his parents when he was young and grew up under the influence of his elder brother.
Wu Da also had a cowardly temperament. Before Wu Er grew up, their brothers were often bullied.
Therefore, Wuji is not blindly reckless. Under his rough appearance, he has a smart and sensitive heart.
Because he heard another version of his eldest brother's murder on New Year's Eve, he was more cautious when meeting his neighbors on Zishi Street today.
This attention was extraordinary, as if he had discovered some secret.
Unfortunately, before Wu Er could investigate further, the government officials took action.
At first Wu Er thought it was nothing. He thought it was a normal investigation in the yamen. Both his own house and his neighbor's house were on fire. It was normal for him to take him to investigate.
It wasn't until he later discovered that he was the only one who was taken to the Yamen, not even a person from Zishi Street, that Wu Er felt something was wrong.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. Unless he was forced out by force, he would have to wait obediently for Shangguan to be punished!
…
Big Year.
Yun Chao had just finished breakfast.
More than a dozen helpers came to see him.
"Master, look who we brought to you?"
Looking at several women in rags and unkempt hair, Yun Chao knew that they were the ones he had rescued from Black Pine Ridge, even though he couldn't remember their faces.
seven.
There were seven women in total.
Like a frightened quail, he stood cowering in front of Yun Chao.
Without waiting for Yun Chao to speak, he made a few plops and all of them knelt down to Yun Chao.
"Please, sir, please take in poor people like us!"
Yun Chao did not agree immediately, but snorted coldly: "What did I tell you at the beginning? If you are not satisfied after you go back, you can come to Wolong Village to find me. Why doesn't anyone come?"
"this……"
The seven women turned pale with fright, and no one dared to say a word.
"Tell me? Are you afraid that I will betray you?"
As soon as Yun Chao lost his temper, the women couldn't bear it any longer, so they lay on the ground and started crying.
"Sir, it's not that we don't come, it's that we don't dare to come!"
"Yes, my mother-in-law's family said that I would be an embarrassment to them while I was alive. They wouldn't let me go out at all. They said that if I dared to step out, they would break my legs!"
"Master, look what they have done to me!"
"..."
Feeling sad, several women simply didn't care about their dignity, and several of them lifted their clothes on the spot.
"hiss……"
Seeing the scars on their backs, not only Yun Chao, but everyone present took a breath.
There was no good spot on the two women's backs. How many beatings did it take to get like this?
Seeing this scene, Yun Chao stopped lecturing them and turned to ask the helpers who brought them here.
"What about the remaining people? Are the remaining people doing well and unwilling to come?"
"this……"
All the helpers looked at each other, and no one said a word for a long time.
Looking at their faces, Yun Chao became angry.
"What's the matter? It's their family members who are preventing them from coming?"
Seeing that Yun Chao was angry, how could the helpers dare to neglect them? They hurriedly said: "Dong... Dong's family, it's not that their families are not allowed to come, it's that... it's that they can't come."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Yun Chao's eyes narrowed, and he exuded an invisible murderous aura. He was so frightened that several helpers fell to their knees on the ground.
"Dong... Dong family, the remaining people, all... all committed suicide!"
"What?"
Yun Chao stood up immediately: "You said, they are all dead?"
Yun Chao thought that those women might commit suicide, but he never thought that so many people would commit suicide.
Including the three in my own family, there are only ten left in total. So many are gone!
Several helpers were afraid of Yunchao, but they had to answer.
"Yes, they are all dead."
"good very good!"
Yun Chao was really angry. Every time someone died, it meant that he was missing a capable man.
"Shitou, call those old foxes over here. I want to ask them how they disciplined their own villagers, so that all those poor women committed suicide!"
Several villages arrived very quickly.
Wang Shitou forced them to come with a knife. Don't say anything, don't ask anything. If you say one more word, it will be the hilt of the knife.
When several village leaders appeared in front of Yun Chao, all of them had bruises and swollen faces.
They were all smashed out by stones with the hilts of knives.
"Yun Er, Hao Duan Duan, why did you let your men beat me?"
Several villages were so aggrieved that they simply gave up.
"Don't you know why I beat you?"
Several village leaders were so angry that they cursed in their hearts. We all had a secret in our hearts. If you have anything to say, you should say it!
"That day in Black Pine Ridge, I told you to take good care of the poor women who were taken up the mountain by the bandits. If anyone makes a mistake and causes those women to commit suicide, I will settle the account with them. Do you remember? "
"this……"
Several village leaders looked at each other, is this happening?
Why don't you remember?
