Zhu Renxia cleared his throat and said seriously: "According to the rules, these four people who made mistakes should all be expelled from Chang'an Town!"
"I support."
Jin Zhu raised his hand in support, "Such despicable villains who are blind to profit and blind to money should all be expelled from Chang'an Town. We don't raise villains here."
"only……"
Zhu Renxia changed the topic, "It's just that they all participated in the Battle of Liping and have mastered many secrets of our Chang'an Town. Driving them away will only cause trouble."
Jin Zhu snorted coldly: "Otherwise, let's just kill him and eliminate the root cause to avoid future troubles."
"No!"
Jiang Guanjun stopped him and said, "Although they have made mistakes, their crimes are not worthy of death. If we kill innocent people indiscriminately and use lynching indiscriminately, how are we any different from bandits?"
Zhu Renxia nodded and said: "The third uncle is right. Killing is absolutely forbidden, but we cannot expel Chang'an Town and cause trouble for us. So I plan to punish them for doing manual labor..."
At the moment, Zhu Renxia roughly explained the punishment method he had conceived to the people present. Jiang Guanjun, Ding Xiao, Zhu Junjian, Xu Le and others all expressed their support.
Only Jinzhu kept saying: "It's ungrateful to covet the treasures of gods. This is really an advantage for them!"
"This is the first time this kind of thing has happened to us in Chang'an Town. This time we are killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. If anyone violates the town rules again in the future, he will be dealt with strictly!"
Zhu Renxia made the final decision.
Jiang Xiaoyu's cry came from the room upstairs again: "I'm starving to death, let me out quickly! Is there anyone there? The children are being bullied, the adults are beating the children, help!"
Jiang Guanjun sighed and said, "You guys go ahead and work, I'll go up and see Xiaoyu and teach him a few words."
Jiang Guanjun first went to the meeting courtyard next door, took two steamed buns from the kitchen, cut a piece of cooked beef, filled a kettle with half a pot of water, and then returned to the Zhuang Committee Courtyard.
When Jiang Champion appeared in front of him, Jiang Xiaoyu burst into tears and cried "Wow".
"Uncle Third, these outsiders are bullying me, help me beat them!"
"Why did I bully you?"
Jiang Guanjun reached out to help Jiang Xiaoyu untie the rope that bound his wrists, and stuffed the steamed buns and beef into his hands: "Let's talk after you finish eating."
"Thank you, Third Uncle."
Jiang Xiaoyu put the steamed buns and cooked beef under his arm and reached out to grab the kettle. "I'm going to drink some water before eating. These bandits didn't let me drink water all night. They're about to dry up my throat and set it on fire."
"Who are the bandits?"
Jiang Guanjun put his hands behind his back and stared at Jiang Xiaoyu with a stern look.
Jiang Xiaoyu didn't bother to answer. He raised his head and drank hard, drinking half of the bottle of water.
"They are the ones named Ding..."
Jiang Xiaoyu complained while wiping his mouth. When he looked up and saw Jiang Guanjun's serious gaze, his voice gradually turned into a mosquito hum, "They bully children..."
"Why did they bring you here?"
Jiang Guanjun's eyes softened a little, "A manly man, don't be afraid of making mistakes. Only when you admit your mistakes can you be a responsible man. Our Jiang family does not have the tradition of being messy."
"It's too cold at home. I'll go to the west city wall to get some linen to make the bed."
Jiang Xiaoyu didn't dare to look directly into his third uncle's eyes. He lowered his head and murmured vaguely while eating the steamed buns.
"Sigh... Although you are smart, you are too naughty. It seems that you have not reflected after being locked up for one night." Jiang Guanjun shook his head and pretended to turn around and leave.
"Can I leave too?"
Jiang Xiaoyu hurriedly put down the half-eaten bun, "I've been tied up all night. I'm sleepy and hungry. Is it time to let me go home?"
Jiang Guanjun said: "Admit your mistake first and let Third Uncle see your attitude. If you still don't admit your mistake in front of Third Uncle, then you will continue to be detained here."
Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly felt that the steamed bun in his hand no longer tasted good: "Where is my brother-in-law? Why didn't he come to save me?"
"He wanted to save you, but in another way."
Jiang Xiaoyu was puzzled: "Another way? He is the mayor and you are the battalion commander. Doesn't it matter what you two said? Are you going to use another way to save me? Directly order me to be released, and then Wouldn’t it be enough to expel the man named Ding from Chang’an Town?”
"Okay, let's continue to be detained here!" Jiang Guanjun was disappointed, turned around and left, "I don't think you need to go to this review meeting."
Jiang Xiaoyu became anxious and knelt down on the ground with a bang. He stretched out his hands and hugged Jiang Guanjun's thigh: "Third uncle, save me. Please let me out. I was wrong, I was wrong..."
"Where is wrong?"
Jiang Guanjun stopped and asked in a deep voice.
"I shouldn't steal linen..."
"You are so naughty!"
Jiang Guanjun was furious. He snatched the food from Jiang Xiaoyu's hand and threw it out of the window. "Continue to be in solitary confinement until you admit your mistake."
"Third uncle, you bullied me too."
Seeing the door being slammed shut and Jiang Guanjun leaving without looking back, Jiang Xiaoyu felt as if he had fallen into a state of betrayal and separation.
After about a meal, two strong men came into the room.
Jiang Xiaoyu thought they were here to let him go, but unexpectedly the two picked up the ropes on the ground and tied him up.
"What do you want to do?"
Jiang Xiaoyu was immediately strangled and felt uncomfortable all over.
"Come on stage and be interrogated!"
The two big men pushed him downstairs without any explanation and came to the Zhuang Committee Courtyard.
The other four thieves in the compound were all tied up with tags hanging around their necks. They were each escorted by two strong men and were waiting in line.
"Where's my brother-in-law? Why doesn't he come to save me?"
Although his arms were tied behind his back, Jiang Xiaoyu still spoke harshly, "I'm telling you, if it hurts me, you won't be able to eat and carry it around!"
"Don't be so harsh, kid. The mayor asked us to escort you to the school grounds."
As a big man spoke, he picked up a sign that read "Gold Thief Jiang Xiaoyu" and hung it around his neck, asking him to line up with four other "gold thieves".
"Take him to the school grounds."
Wang San, the platoon leader who was in charge of leading the team, waved the order, and ten strong men pushed the five thieves and lined up out of the Zhuang Committee compound.
Jiang Xiaoyu was illiterate and asked the big man beside him as he walked: "Hey... what does the sign say? What do those four people do?"
"Jiang Xiaoyu, the gold thief." The older man read to Jiang Xiaoyu seriously.
Another young and muscular man next to him said: "They are all little thieves like you who came to steal gold."
Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly became unhappy: "Who the hell stole gold? You framed a good person. Is there any law in Chang'an Town? If Zhu Renxia is unreasonable, I will go to Jinping County to sue him. I'm still a child." , how can you slander me?"
"You're not a gold thief, why are you sneaking out with a dagger in the middle of the night?" Platoon Leader Wang Third stopped and turned to ask.
Jiang Xiaoyu said: "I told you, it's too cold. I just want to cut some linen to make a bed. Do you want to have such a big battle?"
Wang San laughed: "Haha... What a boy, this mouth is really hard, harder than a duck's!"
The thieves walking in front couldn't stand listening anymore and complained one after another.
"Young man, just admit it and stop being so harsh!"
"You've already been caught in action, so what's the use of being stubborn?"
"Listen to your uncle's advice. Since the mayor is your brother-in-law, just admit your mistake and this matter will be over."
"If you keep talking like this, I'm afraid you will get us involved too."
