"The county government officials are here!"
At this time, someone suddenly started shouting outside the courtyard. When the villagers heard the news, they immediately became quiet and prepared to wait for the officials to resolve the matter for them.
Sure enough, a group of policemen with weapons on their waists walked in quickly and soon came to the courtyard, separating the villagers and servants.
Seeing these officers, Ye Ying felt something bad in his heart. The county seat was still more than ten miles away from the town, but they arrived here so quickly. It seemed that the rumors were true. Jia Furen had a close relationship with the county magistrate. Unusual.
"My lord, you are here at the right time. Jia Furen used the method of adding layers of layers to steal our food. Now the evidence is conclusive. Please make the decision for us, my lord."
Some of the villagers also felt that something was wrong with the situation, but others thought they were in the right, so they spoke to the guards.
The leader of the guards was a burly man with a beard. He looked at the excited villagers with some confusion, and then turned the moonlight in the direction of the housekeeper.
The butler standing behind the servant saw that the servant had taken control of the situation, and quickly came out from behind. What did he say in the bearded ear?
"Don't worry, everyone, since there is evidence, if you hand it over to me, the county government will definitely make the decision for you."
After hearing Bearded's words, the villagers became relaxed, and some even shouted, "Hello." Shengzi, who Ye Ying had finally snatched away, was quickly handed over to the guards.
Ye Ying originally wanted to stop these villagers, but he stopped talking. He was an orphan who was picked up. Many people in the village looked down upon him. How could they listen to him, a half-grown child, now?
Facts have proved that Ye Ying's concerns were correct. The bearded officer took Sheng Zi in his hand and looked through it at random. With a look of disdain on his face, he handed this key piece of evidence to the steward of the Jia family who was standing aside.
"This wooden board is obviously the wooden cover of this liter. How could it be used as a mezzanine? You are too good at making trouble without reason."
When the bearded officer said this, his tone was a little cold, which was very different from his pleasant expression just now.
"I obviously took this from the secret grid myself. You deliberately confused the public and handed over the key evidence to them. You obviously wanted to destroy the evidence."
Seeing this situation, Ye Ying was furious and loudly accused him angrily.
By this time, the villagers also understood the official's intentions and began to discuss and express their dissatisfaction.
"What do you know, you little brat? Don't talk nonsense here."
The bearded officer glared at Ye Ying and said seriously. Next, he looked at the surrounding villagers.
"This matter is already very clear. It is obvious that some people want to blackmail the Jia family's property. I think you are the first offender and will not be held accountable today. If you persist in persisting, don't blame me and punish you in accordance with the law."
The bearded official said harshly, and took off the sword from his waist and held it in his hand. The meaning was self-evident. When the other officers saw their superior's actions, they immediately made the same action as the bearded man, and stood in a neat row in the direction of the villagers.
Seeing the actions of these officers, the villagers began to feel guilty. Everyone whispered to each other and quickly reached a consensus: if the people do not fight with the officials, they will suffer losses and reduce trouble.
Under the guidance of this guiding ideology, the villagers quickly made a decision and slowly retreated out of the door.
"Stop, others can leave. That young man injured a servant in my house, and he must be held responsible."
The housekeeper felt very humiliated when his things were snatched away in front of him, so he decided to use Leaf Eagle as the chicken that scares the monkey. He pointed at the young man in the crowd and shouted sternly.
It seemed that the servants of the Jia Mansion often did this kind of thing. They quickly helped the servant who had just stumbled out of the inner room. No one noticed anything strange about him just now, but now his face was covered in blood, and he looked like he had been beaten quite badly.
Ye Ying turned his head and looked at the servant whose face was covered with blood. He couldn't laugh or cry. These guys were so good at framing people. In such a short period of time, they actually dressed people up in such miserable ways.
After listening to the steward's words, the villagers stopped and left, but they made the same move, spreading out to the sides and putting some distance away from Ye Ying.
In a short period of time, there were only two people left around Ye Ying, the fat boy Shan Fu and his father Shan Laoshi.
Seeing the actions of the villagers, Ye Ying felt a chill in his heart. He had grown up in this village, but in the minds of the villagers, he still did not recognize him, and they all chose to protect themselves at critical moments.
"Nonsense, I saw it with my own eyes. He tripped and fell while chasing Brother Sixteen."
Seeing this situation, the little fat man Shan Fu was not angry that his friend was framed for no reason, so he said angrily.
"There are so many of you surrounding Shiliu, how could you be beaten by him..." Shan Laoshi said weakly. He was always afraid of trouble and didn't want to get involved. But Ye Ying was framed to save himself, so he mustered up the courage to argue.
"Of course you can't see clearly because you're so far away. We're right next to them and we can see clearly that it's this kid who beat him up."
One of the servants said plausibly, and other servants on the side also said that they all saw Ye Ying's "atrocities".
"Brother Sixteen didn't do anything at all..." The little fat man tried his best to argue, but his voice seemed so weak amidst the "angry accusations" of the servants.
The villagers did not speak at this time. In fact, they all knew what happened, but in front of the powerful Jia family and government officials, they all chose to remain silent.
The bearded officer looked at the performance of the servants with cold eyes and cursed in his heart: "You idiots, this frame-up is too obvious. Surrounded by dozens of servants holding sticks, you actually asked a child to beat someone. ”
Although he was thinking this in his heart, Bearded Beard knew that he had to cooperate with them in performing this drama. Not to mention how much money each family gives to the county magistrate every year, I and others also benefit from the Jia family.
"The matter is already very clear. Take down the attacker and the rest will go back."
The bearded officer said softly, and his officers immediately took action and arrested Ye Ying regardless of the obstruction of the little fat boy and his son.
"Go back and tell Huzi not to be impulsive. They won't do anything to me." Looking at the little fat man's face that was flushed with anxiety, Ye Ying felt very warm in his heart. There is always concern in this mountain village. own people.
Under the scolding of the guards, the villagers left Jia's house one after another. Even the fat boy and his son, who had been trying to rescue Ye Ying, had no choice but to pick up the food and head towards the small mountain village.
Seeing that all the villagers had left, there was no change in the expression on the bearded face. Over the years, he had seen too many such scenes. Those who dared to block the county magistrate's financial path were locked up in the county government prison for ten years. After half a month, they will become honest.
However, the young man's performance surprised the bearded officer. Many people have been arrested in recent years. Some cried and begged, and some were unruly and yelled.
But today, this young man was so calm and followed the officer in the direction of the county seat without saying a word.
In fact, it is not that Ye Ying has no chance to escape, but his masters told him not to show off some of the things he knows unless absolutely necessary. So he decided to leave with the guards first and then look for an opportunity to leave when no one was paying attention.
"That kid was captured by the county guards. How about we intercept the guards and snatch him back?" A thin man with messy long hair said slowly in a dilapidated thatched hut at the end of the village.
This thin man had an empty sleeve on his left hand. He obviously had no left arm. His clothes were a little disheveled, but his eyes were shining.
"Let him figure it out on his own. This kid will do big things in the future. This can be considered a training for him."
At this time, someone spoke. The man who spoke was burly and very strong. He looked like a powerful man, but there was just one shortcoming. He was a disabled person like the thin man.
What this burly man lost was his left leg. Next to him was an iron crutch, which looked heavy. I don’t know why this man uses such a crutch. It’s very inconvenient to carry!
There was another person in the room, a woman, about thirty years old, with a cloudy bun, a misty hair, red lips and white teeth, and a very beautiful appearance. If you look closely, you will find that her eyes have no brightness, and her eyes do not move with the changes of things. It seems that she is a blind person who cannot see.
"Jiu Mei, go and keep an eye on him secretly. Don't take action until the most dangerous moment. I don't think there are many people in such a small county who can hurt him."
The burly man said again, it seems that he is the person in charge of these three people.
This hut at the end of the village is Ye Ying's residence. It was left to him by Old Man Liu. These three strange people came to Ye Ying's house two years ago. They never showed up on weekdays. After such a long time, the villagers of Kaoshan Village didn't know that there were three people hiding in Ye Ying's family.
"Report to your lord, the matter in the Jia Mansion has been resolved." When the group arrived at the county seat, it was already getting late. Bearded man arranged for his men to send Ye Ying to the prison while he went to report to the county magistrate.
"Jia Furen, this guy, can't even fool a few villagers. He has asked us to wipe his ass several times. This time we arrested a few people."
The county magistrate said calmly while teasing the bird in the cage. It was obvious that he was accustomed to these things.
"Sir, this time is interesting. The person who led the trouble was actually a twelve or thirteen-year-old child. Jia Furen insisted on giving him some trouble. So I brought him back." The bearded officer said respectfully.
"Such a big kid? Forget it, we have already caught him. According to past practice, we will lock him up for a few days and scare him, and he will be honest. By the way, where is this kid locked up?" Ling said again.
"Isn't Cell No. 8 empty? That's the deepest part of the cell. I sent him there. I locked the kid in a dark cell alone and scared him half to death to see if he dared to come out in the future. stir up trouble."
"Confused, have you forgotten who is locked up in Cell No. 9?"
"Oops, I was busy reporting to you when I came back, and I forgot about this for a moment. Such a young child should not be able to ruin our big things!"
"This matter is not trivial, and there must be no room for error, otherwise you and I will die without a burial place."
"Sir, I know what to do now."
