"We are from Panjia Village more than 20 miles away. My name is Pan Shuisheng. The taller one is our eldest brother named Pan Jiang. The other one is named Yang Kuan. We came to town a few days ago and heard that your family recently I made a lot of money selling toothbrushes, so I wanted to come and get some."
Seeing that several people were silent, he quickly kowtowed.
"Just spare us. We are just ordinary villagers. We were just greedy for a moment. We really didn't want to harm you."
"Then what is this?"
Su Yu kicked the oil paper bag at his feet in front of Feimao. Feimao lowered his head and saw that it was the pork head meat he had prepared. He was shaking even more.
Su Yu didn't expect that these people were so vicious and even thought of poisoning Erhu. Fortunately, she usually trained Erhu and Erhu wouldn't eat anything other than what her own family fed. Otherwise, Erhu would have been poisoned last night. She heard Uncle Wang say that if Erhu ate it, he would die in a few breaths, and there was no room for change. How could Su Yu not be angry after hearing this.
"Bai Mo, take him down and bring someone else over."
Su Yu separated the three of them and asked them. The two in front said exactly the same thing, but the one in the back was actually mute, so he believed what they said. Knowing that the three of them were just ordinary villagers, Su Yu didn't want to talk nonsense to a few people and asked his father to talk to the village chief.
Someone actually came to Yujia Village to steal, which was absolutely intolerable to the village chief. He beat the gong and summoned all the villagers to the entrance of the village, and the Su family escorted the three people to the entrance of the village.
The villagers looked at the three people who were tied up. Two of them were walking with a limp, and they were very curious. What was going on?
"Fellows, last night, three people from Panjia Village came to our village to steal. This shows that we, the people of Yujia Village, are not taking us seriously. Can we, Yujia Village, tolerate your tone?"
The person came here from the Su family, and the village chief said so. Needless to say whose house he robbed last night, the villagers were all as if they had been given blood.
"Village Chief, this is absolutely intolerable. You dare to sneak into our Yujia Village. Could it be that they took advantage of their ambitions?"
"Yes, the village chief is right."
"…….."
The villagers were noisy and there was a mess underneath.
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to what I have to say."
After listening to the village chief's words, the villagers all became quiet.
"We must let the people in Panjia Village give us an explanation for this matter. Young adults should come with me."
Regardless of what happened at home, all the young and middle-aged people followed and escorted the three of them to Panjiacun. Panjia Village is more than 20 miles away from Yujia Village, and a group of people walked for more than an hour to arrive. Of course, the village chief was old and rode the Su family's ox cart.
A group of people entered the village. The people of Panjia Village were not blind. How could they not see it? Someone from the village immediately reported it to the village chief. When a group of people escorted the three people to the village chief's house, the village chief of Panjia Village had just Get out of the house.
"Isn't this Uncle Yu? What brought you here?"
The village chief of Panjia Village was in his forties and had only been in office for two years. As he spoke, his eyes swept away and he immediately saw the three people tied up in various ways, and his heart suddenly became clear. Also, these three little beasts caused trouble outside. Although he didn't want to wipe this butt, he couldn't do it now.
"I won't say any more nonsense. We, the people of Yujia Village, just want to ask. You people from Panjia Village stole on the heads of our villagers. You are obviously shitting on the heads of our Yujia Villagers. You have to ask our village." The people inside will not agree!"
Although the old village chief is old, his aura is not fake. He is very intimidating in the surrounding villages.
As soon as Village Chief Pan heard what Village Chief Yu said, his momentum dropped by half.
"Uncle Yu, let me tell you the truth. Although these three little beasts are from my Panjia village, they are usually people from Huohuo's own village. If the three of them are in your hands, you will kill or chop me into pieces." That’s absolutely true.”
"Hmph! You're a smart kid."
At the signal of Village Chief Yu, the villagers pushed the three people to kneel on the ground. Yu Changfu came forward with a bamboo whip and struck one person with one whip. By the time ten whips went down, the person had been beaten to pieces, but his mouth was still open. He was blocked and could only breathe heavily through his nostrils, but you could tell from his pale face and dilated pupils how much pain he was in now.
After the ten whips were taken, Yu Changfu replaced him with another one.
The villagers of Panjia Village were originally feeling relieved. There was not much food in any village, and they were being beaten by three people from time to time. How could they not feel angry? It was obvious that the three people were beaten to the point where they had more energy and less air. Only then did they know that the people in Yujia Village had taken action. How cruel.
When Village Chief Yu pointed out Yu Changfu, he didn’t just point it out randomly. There are always those who commit crimes in any village. Over time, the executioners have also developed their own skills. Yu Changfu’s skills were learned from his father. Now if there is anyone in the village If he makes a mistake, he will be punished according to village rules. This skill is no different from that of a government official who beats people. Although the injuries on the person's body are severe, in fact, they are just skin injuries. It can only be cured after a month or so, and it will not kill people at all. Therefore, Village Chief Yu did not pay attention to the possibility of causing death. Several villages are close to each other, and small frictions would occur from time to time. The people who resolved them were the village chiefs of each village. The government generally would not care about it, but if it caused death, , that would be different.
Both village chiefs knew the truth behind it, and no one was worried about losing lives.
"These ten lashes should be regarded as a warning to them. If they come to our Yujia Village to steal next time, they should not treat them as just ten lashes."
After the village chief said harsh words, he left with a group of young people from the village. Village Chief Pan didn't say anything and asked people to be sent back to their respective homes. They were beaten like this. If he was punishing, it would seem that he, the village chief, was unkind.
The people who came with the Su family today were Su Laoer and Wang Gang. They were standing among the villagers just now. They were convinced by the old village chief's handling of the matter. Even Wang Gang couldn't find anything wrong. The village chief could do what Yu Village did. For the sake of length, it's pretty good.
To say that the villagers are so concerned about someone stealing in the village, it is because of the Su family. The Su family can now be said to be the protected animals of Yujia Village. They are all looking forward to the Su family coming up with some more money-making jobs. Although they cannot eat meat, It would also be nice to have a sip of soup along with it.
When Su Laoer and Wang Gang returned home, Su Yu was still waiting.
"Dad, how did things go?"
"With your Grandpa Yu taking action, there is no reason why it can't be done. The matter has been solved. You didn't see that the three people were beaten to pieces by your Uncle Chang Fu. They won't dare to come next time."
"It'll be fine if it's solved."
Now that there are two martial arts masters in the family, plus Erhu, and three or five little thieves, Su Yu is not worried at all, unless he is taken aback by some bandit from the mountain, but this is impossible.
In recent years, there have been no major natural disasters in the Zhou Dynasty. The ordinary people are living a good life. Who wants to go up to the mountains and become bandits? There are some around, but most of them are not a climate. Their Yujia Village is only ten miles away from the town, and no matter how bold the bandits are, they don't have the courage.
