Hua Feng originally just wanted to tell him about his upcoming departure through Yamen Zhang, but he never thought that there would be an unexpected gain. Looking at these exquisite items in my hands, I thought, since I have given them all, just take them. After placing the items at the county government office, Hua Feng could now go find Li Yu without the government servant Lao Zhang following him. Hua Feng immediately left the city. After arriving at the bamboo house, he explained the current situation to Li Yu and then took Li Yu and Chen Dadong to the county government office. When entering the county government office, Lao Yang and Li Yu looked at each other and continued to clean the courtyard of the county government office as if nothing had happened.
Hua Feng took Li Yu to a room in the county government office, knocked on the door and said, "President Jiang, I brought him here."
Jiang Zhixian in the room immediately stood up and opened the door. He looked at Li Yu and saw that he was indeed the young man who broke into the county government office to rescue the robbers that day. He said, "Hello, young hero."
Li Yu was a little unfamiliar at this time, lowered his head and replied: "Hello, County Magistrate Jiang."
Jiang Zhixian made a gesture to invite him in and said, "Please sit in the room and I'll call Master Zhu."
Hua Feng and Li Yu walked into the room together, while Jiang Zhixian went out to call Zhu Shuo. Li Yu found a stool and sat down in an upright manner, trying his best to straighten his body as if to express his nervousness. Hua Feng said: "Yu'er, why are you so nervous?"
Li Yu said: "This is my first time coming to the county government to be questioned."
Hua Feng said: "Don't be so nervous, just tell me everything you know. You are not afraid of slanted shadows if you are upright."
Li Yu said suspiciously: "Uncle Huafeng, do you think that if a crime is committed elsewhere, will we know about it here?"
Hua Feng said: "Then let's see if the wanted order is sent."
Li Yu whispered, looking like he was hesitating to speak, but he still calmed down and stopped talking, just looking around at the furnishings in the room. Chen Dadong couldn't sit still and wandered around the room.
When the county government official was walking in the corridor, he heard the sound of "Hey ha". Jiang Zhixian naturally recognized who made the sound, so he followed the sound and looked for it. From a distance, he saw Jiang Hong in the backyard of the county government office. Holding the silver pear gun, he practiced his shooting skills. Even though he was sweating profusely, he still didn't stop his movements. Jiang Zhixian smiled happily, walked to the room where Zhu Shuo was, and returned to the room with Zhu Shuo.
Jiang Zhixian and Zhu Shuo entered the room together. Li Yu immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "What do you want from me?"
Zhu said very politely: "Zhu said, may I ask your surname, young hero?"
Li Yu was a little frightened and said, "My surname is Li."
Zhu said: "Hello, Mr. Li. I heard from Deputy Leader Hua that you once penetrated into the robbers' interiors. This time I invite you to ask if you have discovered anything inside them."
Li Yu looked at Hua Feng, and Hua Feng said, "Just say whatever you know."
Li Yu scratched his head and said, "I didn't find much, just a group of robbers forced by life."
Zhu said: "Forced by life?"
Li Yu nodded and said: "They are originally common people in Xinyang County and surrounding areas. Some are forced by the government, some cannot make money from farming and cannot even pay rent, and some have their homes occupied by others. ." Li Yu told everything he knew.
After hearing this, County Magistrate Jiang said indignantly: "The magistrate who took office went so far, no wonder they were forced to become bandits!"
Li Yu said: "One more thing. That Zhang Haiwei told me that he had killed a magistrate. Was he the magistrate who took office?"
Zhu Shuo shook his head and said: "The previous magistrate is still alive and well, but has been transferred elsewhere. The last two magistrates died."
Magistrate Jiang said: "If he really massacred court officials, then there would be a way to punish him."
Zhu Shuo pondered for a while and said, "Young Master Li, how do you get along with them?"
Li Yu said: "So-so. But they are by no means treacherous and evil people. I hope you can give them a lighter punishment." Li Yu bowed to Magistrate Jiang and Master Zhu.
Jiang Zhixian helped Li Yu stand up and said with a smile: "Young hero has a kind heart, and I admire him. Don't worry, I will carefully consider their decision."
Li Yu said: "Thank you very much, Magistrate Jiang."
Zhu said: "Young Master Li, I have a heartfelt request."
Li Yu asked: "What's the matter?"
Zhu said: "I hope you can persuade those robbers."
"What happened to them?" Li Yu was a little confused.
County Magistrate Jiang sighed and said: "Maybe it's because of the inaction of the previous magistrate. After these robbers were locked up, they complained all day long and refused to answer no matter how they were interrogated. Except for one named Li Chunlin, they were willing to tell us If we reveal some information, others will yell at us when they see us.”
After hearing this, Li Yu lowered his eyes and said, "Let me talk to them. By the way, how are their families?"
Jiang Zhixian said: "We have arranged for the government officials to take them to the prison to meet the robbers."
Li Yu said: "Okay, Magistrate Jiang, please take me there. They may be willing to listen to what I have to say."
Jiang Zhixian said: "That's very good. Li Shaoxia, please come with me."
Li Yu pulled up Chen Dadong who was squatting on the ground and said, "Take him with you too. He is also a family member of one of the robbers."
Magistrate Jiang nodded, and the group set off to the county prison. Even before they reached the prison, there were already insults and complaints.
"You bastard, tell me what you are doing is not good, and you are going to do this kind of thing!"
"Otherwise, what are you talking about? It's not all for you and my daughter!"
"What's wrong with me? I asked you to become a robber!"
"Sister-in-law Liu Cheng, this has already happened, so don't get angry with Brother Liu." Someone advised her from the side.
Jiang Zhixian said: "Li Shaoxia, you should go in alone. We won't go in."
Li Yu took a deep breath and resolutely opened the door of the prison. As the door of the prison opened, everyone in the prison looked at the door of the prison, and a young man wearing brown clothes walked in.
The prison warden asked: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Jiang Zhixian revealed most of his head behind Li Yu and waved his hand, signaling that the prison chief should go away and not ask too many questions. The warden understood and walked aside, murmuring: "Don't stay too long."
Li Yu felt a little melancholy as he looked at the people in the prison and the old, young, women and children in the corridor. If they had listened to him and surrendered earlier, they would not have fallen into Zhang Haiwei's plan and been imprisoned here.
Li Chunlin was still the first to shout to Li Yu: "Master Ouyang! Why are you here? Are you here to save us?"
Another person said: "Save us? I think he is probably in the same group as those officials! Just like that Zhang Haiwei, he is not a good person!"
Chen Erdong sarcastically said: "Master Ouyang, why are you here? Are you here to see our fun?"
Liu Cheng said angrily: "That's right, we are all suffering here, and you are just like a normal person."
Liu Cheng's wife spat and said, "Bah! It's your turn to speak! Let me tell you! If Hero Ouyang hadn't come to rescue us yesterday, we would still be locked up in the dungeon now!"
Suddenly, all those people who were rescued by Li Yu yesterday stood on Li Yu's side and spoke for him.
Only Chen Erdong still said disdainfully: "Humph! Then why don't you see my sister? Did you abandon her?"
When Li Yu heard this, he was indeed a little ashamed for not saving Chen Sanniu. Chen Dadong ran over and suddenly appeared in front of Chen Erdong, smiling stupidly and making babbling gestures. Chen Erdong was startled by Chen Dadong's appearance and said with a look of disgust: "What's the point of bringing him back? Where's my sister!"
Li Yu glared at Chen Erdong and said, "If it weren't for Brother Dadong, none of the old, young, women, or children in the village would be saved. Are you still whining? You are the only one who has the most opinions every day!" Li Yu had a bad temper when faced with Chen Erdong's current appearance. He burst out, "I asked you to abandon the dark side and turn to the light early, but you didn't listen! Now you are in jail, and you are saying that it was someone else who caused it?"
