This finger clamp is specially made of bamboo. It is said that ten fingers are connected to the heart. You can imagine the feeling of finger clamping.
Seeing this instrument of torture, Yang Dazhi finally got scared and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, please be merciful, I am from Centipede Ridge, Centipede Ridge."
Centipede Ridge!
Hu Fan hesitated for a moment, but then thought about it. He Laoqi had just told him that Liu Rumei had specially told him this. When he thought of this, he slapped the gavel and said, "So what about Centipede Ridge? You are a bandit." Why break into a private house, is it rape or robbery?"
Yang Dazhi said with a bitter look on his face, "Sir, this young man is neither a traitor nor a thief. He was ordered by the leader of the village to help a man named Chen Yutian."
Yang Dazhi was about to speak but stopped. But when Chen Xiaobei heard the name Chen Yutian, his heart skipped a beat. This was Chen Ermao's father.
Sure enough, Yang Dazhi said hesitantly, "I went to help Chen Yutian and ended up with the life of a man named Chen Xiaobei."
Okay, originally I was thinking of committing adultery or stealing, but this turned out to be a murder case.
Hu Fan's face turned livid.
"What you said is true. If there is even half a lie..."
Yang Dazhi nodded hurriedly, "If you tell any lies, you will chop off my head."
Hu Fan nodded, looked at He Laoqi next to him, "Take someone to Hetou Village immediately and call Chen Yutian."
After saying that, Hu Fan waved his sleeves, stood up and left.
Then someone came forward and took Yang Dazhi down.
Chen Xiaobei stood up and caught up with He Laoqi, took out five big boys from his arms and stuffed them into them.
They agreed to treat Chen Ping and the others to meat buns, so Chen Xiaobei still brought dozens of copper coins.
"Master Qi, thank you for your hard work."
He Laoqi held the five eldest sons in his hands, put them into his sleeves calmly, and laughed, "What are you talking about? Zi Ming and I are half-brothers."
"Your business is my business. Just wait here and I'll be back at dawn."
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and He Laoqi led the people away.
Chen Xiaobei originally wanted to take Chen Ping and the others to eat meat buns when they had free time, but seeing that they were sleeping soundly on the donkey cart, even He Laoqi and others did not hear the loud crow of the horses.
Okay, since you guys are sleeping, I'll take a nap too.
The sky was getting slightly brighter, and Hetou Village was bustling with activity.
Chen Yutian and his wife were picked up by a group of policemen while they were still sleeping.
Without any hesitation, he leaned on the horse and turned around.
After hearing the news, the village chief Chen Anbang came out quickly. When he saw Chen Yutian coming to arrest him, he couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart. He forced himself to calm down and stepped forward with his fists clasped in his hands and said, "Guys, I am the village chief of Hetou Village this time. Could you please tell me what crime Chen Yutian committed?" What's the matter?"
He Laoqi nodded, "As ordered, I brought Chen Yutian over to be a witness. I also asked Chen Lichang to make it convenient."
Chen Anbang knew very well that he said he was going to be a witness, but he had never seen a witness, so he tied him up and threw him on a horse.
He probably understood what was going on, but he pretended to be nonchalant and turned to look at Chen Yutian, "Let's talk about it when we get there. Don't worry about the family matters. Er Mao will come back one day and I will take care of everything."
Chen Yutian certainly understood the overtones.
At this time, I couldn't express my pain, so I had to pretend to be grateful.
"Thank you, Chief."
He Laoqi got on his horse and said, "Brothers are leaving!"
He waved his riding whip and walked away.
Watching He Laoqi go away, all the villagers were talking and wondering what had happened to the seemingly honest Chen Yutian.
Chen Anbang put his hands behind his back and walked slowly out of the village. When he left the village, he happened to pass by Chen Xiaobei's home.
When I arrived at the door of Chen Xiaobei's house, I happened to meet several village protection team members walking out. It was getting dark. According to Chen Ping's arrangement, their mission was over.
"Ouch, it's so early, Chief! Where are you going, Chief?"
Chen Daqiang greeted with a smile.
"It's Da Qiang, why are you all here?"
Chen Daqiang sighed, "Oh, someone came to Chen Xiaobei's house last night, and we caught him and sent him directly to the county government."
Chen Anbang took a breath, "Oh, who is he? What can I ask?"
Chen Daqiang shook his head, "That man has a tough mouth and doesn't say anything, but I have seen him before. He is Chen Yutian's nephew."
That's right.
Chen Yutian must have listened to his hint and found someone to attack him, but he didn't do it smoothly.
Hearing this, Chen Anbang was secretly upset, what happened to Chen Ping, his grandson? Why did he rashly follow Chen Xiaobei to the county seat without going home to report the situation.
Now the situation has become somewhat irreversible. The only hope is that Chen Yutian can handle everything. He also gave him enough hints just now.
Of course, this was not enough. Chen Anbang hurried home, put on the donkey cart and hurried to the countryside.
The township leader Zhao Facun is a distant relative of Chen Anbang's wife. It is for this reason that Chen Anbang has secured his position as the head of Hetou Village.
Seeing Chen Anbang coming, Zhao Facun still looked puzzled, "Old Chen, what's wrong with you this early in the morning?"
Chen Anbang hesitated for a moment, "Oh, something big happened in the village. Some villagers hired murderers to kill people. I'm worried that the county magistrate will blame him..."
Zhao Facun laughed when he heard this, "You are the head of the village and not his parents. What does it have to do with you if he wants to hire a murderer? Just go back. If something happens, I will take care of it for you."
"But what if he framed him falsely and it was me who instigated him?"
Zhao Facun looked at him doubtfully, "Tell me the truth, does it have anything to do with you?"
Anbang finally gritted his teeth, "No, absolutely not, how could I do that kind of thing."
Zhao Facun nodded, "Okay, then you have nothing to worry about, go back."
After walking out of Zhao Facun's office, Chen Anbang felt a little more at ease. If the secret was revealed, he would have no choice but to hold on until the end. Then waiting for Zhao Facun to mediate may resolve the crisis.
…
He Laoqi kept his promise, and when it was bright, he came with Chen Yutian and his wife.
As soon as he entered the county government office and saw that Chen Xiaobei was safe and sound, Chen Yutian was dumbfounded.
"you you."
Chen Xiaobei gave him a cold look, "I didn't expect that I would still be alive."
Chen Yutian was silent for a while.
Hu Fan, who quickly received the news, went to court again, and Yang Dazhi, Chen Yutian, and Jia were brought up together.
Hu Fan looked at Chen Yutian, then pointed at Yang Dazhi, "Do you recognize him?"
Chen Yutian hesitated and did not speak.
Yang Dazhi couldn't hold back his anger, "Sister, you have to testify for me. It was you who asked me to kill Chen Xiaobei. He and I have no grievances."
Jia and Chen Yutian looked at each other. Suddenly he burst into tears at the top of his lungs.
"Mr. County Magistrate, we can't survive. My son had a conflict with Chen Xiaobei. Not only did he beat my son away, but he also threatened to kill us, the old couple. We have no choice but to do so."
Chen Xiaobei couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. Even if the villain complained first, you can't say it like this.
