Di Ying was speechless for a few breaths.
I don’t want to talk about such a heavy topic again. He stopped and told the guards, "Let's do some business. Guan Jie has stolen a lot of money, so go and share it. Part of it will be used to build city walls and gates."
Part of it was returned to the people. The old rule is to press people's hair. Another part is building a new house. This county town is too shabby. A slightly larger natural disaster can easily lead to serious problems. "
The guards took the order and left.
Peng Liang watched everyone walk away, and then asked aloud: "Sir, Aunt Hu actually knows what her son has done, right? She doesn't expose it because she doesn't want to let it go. She doesn't follow up the mountain to enjoy those things she shouldn't. The benefits gained are her final bottom line, right?"
"Um."
Di Ying hummed softly. But didn't answer the call.
Peng Liang was reluctant and continued to ask: "Then why didn't you expose her? Even if you exposed her and she hung herself, that was the ending she deserved. Death by yourself is better than being beheaded in the end, isn't it? ?"
Peng Liang was 100% sure that the adults in his family didn't want to reveal the truth to her face because they didn't want to force the old lady to death.
But with the numerous evil deeds committed by the Husha brothers, when the adults of his family caught them, it would be the time when the old lady died and the family was separated.
All nine clans will be killed. This cannot be forgiven no matter what.
If you open it, you will feel sorry for the wronged souls of those innocent victims.
Di Ying hesitated.
He looked at the white clouds in the sky in the northwest direction and was silent for a long time.
Finally a tough order was given.
…
The next day, people all over the county heard about it.
"Go to the city gate and read the government notice!"
"Hey? Are you so excited? What's so good about it? What did you say?"
"Hey, what else can you say? I just heard that Hu Sha's mother was arrested by the government officials. She was locked up in the dungeon of the county government office."
"W-What? Why were you arrested all of a sudden? On what charge?"
"Hey, what other charges can there be? Failure to educate the adopted son, allowing the son to cause trouble, covering up the crime, causing trouble to ruin the family, and refusing to cooperate with the government, there are five major crimes!"
"Huh? So many?"
"No. Hey, can any of you tell me? What does it mean to cause trouble and destroy a family?"
"Tsk, you don't understand this either? Then think about it, because Mother Hu refused to follow her sons up the mountain, how many innocent people did his bandit sons kill because of her? You can do the math for yourself !”
"This... this sounds like the crime is quite right. How many families have been in bad luck because of this? It's not like they broke their families. But when it comes to shielding, Mother Hu doesn't actually do it, right?"
"Hey, how did you get such a brain? Why is it gone? She clearly knows that her sons have done good things, but she just pretends to be deaf and mute and refuses to tell the government where her sons are and what they look like. How she looks, what she likes, etc. She is even more unwilling to assist the government in arresting her sons. Isn’t this cover-up?”
"Oh, that's not what you said, right? She really doesn't have good eyesight, okay? And she has to force the mother to catch her son, isn't that bad?"
"Oh, her son is just a son, and other people's families are just grassroots, right? How many people has her son harmed, and she doesn't know how to count it? Besides, even if she is blind, she is also deaf. Do you think everyone is stupid?"
"That's right. What you said is so right. She wants to say that she didn't see it, but we believe it. But if she wants to say that she didn't hear anything? Then the devil will believe it. Everyone is talking about it every day, how can she Maybe you didn’t hear anything?
One time when I passed by the door of her house, I accidentally dropped an oil paper bag. She happened to be feeding chickens in the yard at that time, and she even reminded me. You said her ears don't work? Yep, people who can't see actually have particularly good hearing. "
"Ah? This, this... No wonder one time when I and some neighbors passed by her door, we were talking about so and so following Hu Sha up the mountain again, and she poured a basin of water over her. Then she also She explained to us that her eyesight was bad and she didn't see it. We even forgave her."
"Bah, what a bad old woman!"
"Oh, now we are in trouble. As you all know, the one who came this time is Mr. Di. He will definitely wipe out Hu Sha and the others. But there are thousands of people in the mountains, old and young, bringing their families with them. Yes, this Hu Sha... really killed people!"
"Hey, what kind of mentality are you thinking about? According to me, although Hu Sha and the others did not harm the people, but they took so many people up the mountain and ended up not having a happy ending, does it count as a harm?"
"Oh, that's not what you said. Aren't these all done voluntarily by those who can't live anymore?"
"Hey, everything is voluntary? Some people are forced to live voluntarily, but many of them go up the mountain because of laziness, greed, lust, etc. Anyway, Hu Sha dares to accept anyone."
"Yeah, actually not all wealthy businessmen are bad. But Hu Sha and the others are killing and burning like this. It's really outrageous. Don't talk about the far ones, just talk about the nearby ones. That county government office was killed He was also someone else’s son. He was killed when they told him to.”
"So you are causing trouble and destroying the family. You are still complaining for that old woman. If you ask me, she should be chopped into pieces. What are you teaching her? You should reap the consequences of what you sow. "
The topic just came back again. Everyone discussed it one after another, and then joined in more discussions.
The people who Hu Sha stayed in the county and had been guarding Hu's mother heard about it.
Mother Hu suddenly disappeared. They had been looking for her, but now they finally knew that Mother Hu had been arrested. I quickly went back to the mountain to report the news.
After Hu Sha heard this, he was so angry that his hair almost stood up. Immediately, we must gather people and go down the mountain to rescue the mother.
Was stopped by Hu Ming.
"Brother, the government arrested me, which led you to lead people down the mountain to kill. This time, they arrested my mother again, and you led people down the mountain again. Think about it carefully, I'm afraid this is their trick to lead you down the mountain. ah.
Otherwise, how could there be such stupid officials? That's Master Di, you'd better be more cautious. "
"Be cautious!"
Hu Sha pushed Hu Ming away and walked out. He said at the same time: "My great king has thousands of powerful men in his hands, why are you afraid of this humble official? As long as I go quickly, kill quickly, and rescue quickly, we can see if he can defeat this great king once we return to the mountain." How about it!"
"Brother!"
The second brother, Hu Shui, grabbed Hu Sha's wrist.
"Brother, you really can't be impulsive. This is 100% a trap. I heard that Di Ying is surrounded by imperial guards with swords, and their martial arts are extremely high. I'm afraid they will hold you down as soon as you go, and then What are you going to do if you threaten the rest of the brothers to surrender? Officers and soldiers always catch thieves first, and once you are caught, no matter how many brothers you have, they can't do anything to you."
