Lao He couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Why are the government officials here?
Is it here to collect taxes?
It shouldn't be. Even if they are here to collect taxes, there won't be so many people coming all at once.
Lao He was wondering.
In the blink of an eye, four horses stopped in front of Lao He and the others.
Only then did Lao He notice.
The four of them had bright swords on their waists.
One person's horse also had a torture instrument hanging from it.
"Hello!"
"Old man!"
"Is Hejian Village this direction?"
The leader waved his riding whip and asked Lao He.
This person is none other than Zhao Changsheng, who was in Sanhe County Mansion before.
When Lao He heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
It turned out to be their Hejian Village.
Could it be that what happened before was exposed?
Zhao Changsheng was about to get angry when he saw that the old man in front of him didn't respond.
Li Daniu, who was on the side, saw that the situation was not good and quickly stepped forward and said, "Several officials, our village is in front of us."
"In this direction."
Li Daniu said to several people.
"Damn old thing!"
"If grandpas hadn't been in trouble, I wouldn't have spared you today!"
"let's go!"
Finished.
Zhao Changsheng whipped the horse's butt hard and ran towards Hejian Village.
Li Daniu and the others also looked at the government officials who were leaving with some confusion. They didn't know what happened in Hejian Village that made these adults so anxious.
Wait until Zhao Changsheng and the others have gone far.
Only then did Lao He react.
Could it be that he was going for the young master?
If so, it would be troublesome. The Huanshou knife is still in the house. If this is found, there will be no excuses!
There can be no further delay.
"Daniu, you guys go first. You are familiar with the process anyway. You can just come back directly after selling the money. You don't have to wait for me!"
"I suddenly remembered that I had something else to do and I had to go back."
As Lao He spoke, he ran directly towards the mountain next to him.
He wanted to take a shortcut and rush back as soon as possible to report the news.
Li Daniu and the others didn't think much, they pulled the car and continued on their way.
Wait until Lao He climbed over the mountains and ridges and took a small road to rush back to the village.
But they found that the government officials had already entered the village and were grabbing a few villagers and asking about something.
Lao He didn't dare to delay and ran towards Zhang Bao's yard.
As soon as she entered the yard, she found that Su Xiaoyue was alone there, mending clothes.
"Young mistress!"
"Where is the young master?!"
Lao He asked hurriedly.
"My husband was called by Mr. Li, saying that he had something to discuss."
"Uncle He, why are you back again? Didn't you already go to the county government?"
Su Xiaoyue asked in surprise.
Lao He didn't have time to explain.
He quickly entered the house and took out the ring-head knife he had before.
This knife is irrefutable evidence. If it is found, it will be unclear.
After hiding for a long time, I couldn't find any suitable place.
He simply opened his clothes and hid them inside.
Nowadays, I wear a lot of clothes in winter, which can barely cover my face.
After hiding, he hurriedly walked towards the Li family's house.
Outside the Li family's residence at this time.
Many villagers have already surrounded him.
Four government officials have already walked in.
"Several officials, I don't know why they came to my humble residence."
Upon seeing this, Old Mrs. Li rushed forward to greet him.
"Who is Zhang Bao?"
"come out!"
"We were ordered to take people!"
Zhao Changsheng ignored Old Mrs. Li and looked directly at Zhang Bao who was sitting inside.
According to Liu Mang's previous description, when he came in, he immediately saw Zhang Bao sitting in the guest seat.
"Get someone?"
"Several officials, could it be that they made a mistake?"
"Our Master Zhang is a kind man! How could he do something that is harmful to nature?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li pointed to Zhang Bao who was on the side and said to Zhao Changsheng.
"Get out of here, uncle!"
"Grandpas are doing things, and it's your turn to make irresponsible remarks?"
"Zhang Bao colluded with bandits to rob and kill. Come on, capture it for me!"
Zhao Changsheng pointed at Zhang Bao.
The two government officials were about to step forward and lock it.
"Wait!"
"You said I colluded with bandits to rob and kill. What evidence do you have?!"
Zhang Bao took a look.
I was very surprised in my heart.
The incident before had nothing to do with me at all.
The most he could do was take a knife and take some iron ore.
The knife had been hidden in Lao He's hand, and the iron ore had long been turned into pig iron.
It was nowhere to be found!
Even if the people in this county government were extremely capable, they wouldn't be able to target him in such a short period of time.
Even named them.
There is a lot of strangeness in this!
"Huh?"
"You still dare to be tough?"
"Evidence? Grandpa's words are evidence!"
"Get it for me!"
When Zhao Changsheng saw Zhang Bao in front of him, he dared to be dishonest, and he immediately became angry.
Think about the time before.
When I was ordered to pick up someone, who didn't immediately and respectfully stuff in two pieces of silver, and then asked myself to help sort out the money.
This Zhang Bao is so ignorant of praise.
Then don't blame them for doing business.
"stop!"
"He didn't do this!"
Just when the two of them were about to step forward.
There was a loud shout outside the door.
Zhao Changsheng turned around and took a look.
It turned out to be the old man from before, holding a broadsword in his hand.
Zhao Changsheng and several government officials were startled and immediately drew out their knives.
Surrounded Lao He.
"I committed the murder and robbery alone. You can also recognize this knife. It was snatched from the government servant."
"Catch me and go, but it has nothing to do with him!"
Lao He pointed at Zhang Bao.
Just now.
Lao He could see clearly in the crowd.
It was obvious that these government officials were looking for someone to back them up, and they came here directly to arrest someone. They definitely came prepared and couldn't hide.
He was very aware of what these government officials were doing. If Zhang Bao was really taken back, there would be no point in arguing.
If they say you did it, you did it.
If you refuse to admit it, you will be punished!
If you can't stand it, just recruit.
After being tortured to death, they would draw a sign and say that they committed suicide out of fear of crime. They, the government officials, had many ways to deal with it.
So Lao He stood up directly.
Blocked it for Zhang Bao.
Zhao Changsheng saw that the knife thrown by Lao He was indeed the one lost by the officer escorting the car.
Immediately overjoyed!
Unexpectedly, this time the real owner was caught unexpectedly.
This is just great!
"Get it for me!"
Zhao Changsheng shouted loudly.
The other three people stepped forward one after another and imprisoned Lao He with shackles.
As for Zhang Bao's side.
After catching the real owner, they naturally had no time to care, so a few people escorted Lao He and walked out.
