Zhao Dashan came out of the shadows and deliberately incorporated Zhenting's relative, the middle-aged man named Shuangquan, into the case investigation team.
There are a total of twelve sword-wielding officers in this team, and there is also a special clerk.
I need to borrow a large house.
When Wang Laoba saw that posture, his heart became hot and he thought: Erdaohe Village, you are finished this time.
He shouted with great enthusiasm: "Just go to my house. I have several rooms in my house, and I also have pens, ink and paper."
Zhao Dashan said: "Then I'll trouble you."
Wang Laoba was so excited that he felt that a tacit understanding had been formed between him and Capt. Zhao.
So when he heard that he was going to ask representatives of ten households in Wangjiagou Village, he immediately asked for help: "I'll go find them." It would be easier for him to do so, wouldn't it? He had to be selective in finding people, otherwise there was a tough guy in their village who didn't know what was going on. He was going to be pissed to death these days.
Zhao Dashan looked at the back of Wang Lao Ba Le Dian Dian looking for someone, turned his head slightly and said to the middle-aged man Shuang Quan: "Write down in detail that he found the candidate, ask the names of the villagers, and wait for him to come back. , let him and those villagers put their thumbprints."
"……good."
In Wang Laoba's house, the oil lamps were on, the torches were dim, the crowds were waiting to evacuate, and the government servants with swords guarded the door.
Both Wangjiagou and Erdaohe outside knew that a case was being tried inside, involving the issue of whether it was right for Erdaohe to come to Wangjiagou to fish.
The men in Erdaohe were a little worried: "Why don't we go to that bastard's house for interrogation? If they all go to Wang's house, will it be detrimental to us?"
"Yes, and those people who were called for questioning are all famously immoral and smoking-eating people in this village."
The Erdaohe old lady team was extremely regretful.
Everyone was talking about why they didn't just cut off that bastard's head and fart that day.
Obviously they have that kind of strength. Beating that Wang Laobao is like peeling potatoes. They can peel ten of them in the blink of an eye.
I regret that I was too gentle. If Wang Lao Ba was patted into a deep-fried cake with a piece of brick and couldn't even get up from the kang, look at how he would go outside to sue.
As for the group of daughters-in-law, they bit each other's ears to signal not to panic, and then looked at Mrs. Xu who was standing at the door of the shed.
The aunt (aunt) knew Capt. Zhao.
There was a meeting that day, and Capt. Zhao came to see him. He heard that he stayed home for dinner.
Those who can stay at home for meals these days, if one is willing to ask to stay, and the other is willing to carry the rice bowl and eat enough, then the relationship must be very strong. So others don't know this relationship, but they know it well. I've just been busy catching fish and haven't had time to go back to my parents' house. I haven't spread the word that "there's someone above" in the Xu family yet.
Standing next to her mother-in-law, Yu Qinniang could feel that everyone was peeking at her. This guy's face was getting hot because he was being slapped.
The eight families of Wang Lao Ba.
Wang Laoba never expected that after pressing the fingerprints with his front legs, he would be arrested and his mouth would be gagged.
"Uh-huh!"
Wang Laoba struggled hard, and the "representatives" he brought were frightened by this scene.
Zhao Dashan asked Shuangquan to write: "He is suspected of making false accusations and is not suitable to be present. Please take him away first."
The atmosphere in the room was tense.
Because Youbing was standing on the left side of Zhao Dashan, explaining in plain language to those who were about to testify, what false accusations were. Don't understand each other and think that it would be fine if you just talked nonsense and regretted it later.
"If you don't tell the truth, it is a false accusation. Even if you are over eighty years old, there will be no leniency. If the false accuser denies the crime, the punishment for the false accusation will be imposed on the false accuser. For example, if you lie and say that the other person stole your home It’s a fish. If you lie about how much the other party stole from you, you have to compensate the other party. And this is only the minimum penalty. There are also rods, ransom of the land and house, exile, and disciples. If the false accusation causes the other party to hang himself without thinking or other serious consequences, he will be hanged. "
After Youbing finished explaining the procedure, he asked the following ten "witness representatives" if they understood it?
The following ten people nodded immediately, they would definitely tell the truth. I wanted to scold Wang Laoba to death. It was true that people were working on the dam, and the disaster would fall from the top.
Only then did Youbian say to Zhao Dashan and Ji Shuangquan, "It's okay, boss."
Zhao Dashan did not start with Erdaohe being accused of stealing pigs and beating people, but started with Wang Laoba suing Erdaohe for occupying Wangjiagou property and robbing fish.
He interrogated extremely carefully.
When did Erdaohe Village come, how many people came in the first wave, how many people came in the second wave, and the height of the water level at that time. The answer reached my knees.
The height after going down the river, the ten people below replied, the lowest point reaches the waist, and the highest point reaches the chest.
If hundreds of strong men on the Erdao River hadn't come down to help block the hole, would the houses near the river have collapsed? What kind of property damage do you think there would have been?
When I got the answer, it was hard to say whether the house would collapse or not. The foundations were dug differently for thatched houses and brick houses.
But the water flow was very fast at that time. If there were less than a few hundred people to help, most of the food stored in the cellar and the vegetables in the cellar would be soaked. Maybe people would starve to death this winter, and people living by the river would not have time to hold their children. Running, small children and the elderly who cannot move are also at risk.
Did you want the Erdaohe villagers to evacuate?
To be honest, I don't want them to leave. Although I don't help push the rocks to plug the gap, if I can block it with my body, it's still a human wall, right?
Zhao Dashan asked again, was the embankment breach point they occupied deliberately dug by the Erdaohe villagers for fishing? No, it’s just that the village didn’t build the dam well.
When they entered your village, did they affect your village's emergency response in the past few days? No.
Are they catching fish that belong to each of your families? The answer was, no, it was the fish brought by the river into the village. People in Erdaohe Village were picking them up, and there were also fish caught in the river.
Zhao Dashan asked Shuangquan to leave a group. The question was whether Erdaohe Village was a fisherman and whether he was qualified to catch fish in the river.
He didn't need to ask those ten people. He only needed to go back to the river bank to check whether Erdaohe Village had paid the fishermen's tax. If you pay, have the tax collection official at Hebo Station sign and stamp the card.
"Have the Erdaohe villagers ever robbed poultry and livestock in your village?"
"Maybe not."
The ten people looked at each other. Although a lot of chickens and ducks were indeed dead and some were lost, they were so busy that they couldn't tell the difference so clearly. But it was probably washed away by water, so it cannot be a false accusation. Anyway, they have never heard of it.
"Is it there or not?"
"No, I've only heard of Uncle Wang Shitou's pig kid, but it was the people from Erdaohe who helped catch him."
Youbian immediately opened the door and asked the yamen servant outside to call Uncle Wang Shitou.
"As a member of this village, do you have time to clean up the fish that have drifted into the village these days?"
The weather is about to catch up, and there are heavy rains one after another. I can't even think about cooking, and I can't get rid of my own livestock and what little property I have. I have to send people to other villages to find my in-laws for help. Where can I find the free time to rush in? Fish in the village.
"If Erdaohe Village had not picked up the fish that rushed into your village and turned them into dead fish and rotten fish, as a villager, do you think there would be a plague?"
The following ten people thought: This problem is too heavy and they don’t want to think about it.
But if you must answer, "Yes, maybe." Because after the rain stopped today, some older people in the village have already made arrangements to go to their in-laws to borrow or buy mugwort. If the little they have left at home is not enough, they must A large amount of moxa will cause natural disasters, especially children. They will get sick if they eat or drink water in Wangjiagou.
"Last question, when Erdaohe Village comes to your village, do you think it's helping?"
"……yes."
The door of Wang Laoba's family is open.
Li Shuangquan, who was in charge of recording, was reading the transcript aloud while holding a stack of paper.
And as Li Shuangquan recited, Zhao Dashan appeared in front of the villagers.
He looked at Aunt Xu and Liu Laozhu, at the faces of the villagers, the cold knees of the strong men, and the water level reaching their chests. How could these people endure it just to make some money.
Thought:
Leave a way for good people to survive, so that they will not be disappointed and become bad people.
Although he is just a head catcher, he will give everyone justice as long as it is within his control.
And he believed that the performance of Erdaohe Village these days could be seen by anyone with conscience in the eight nearby villages. If he went to other villages to sell fish, at least people from other villages would not worry about having their belongings stolen. After all, the floods were in Wangjiagou. In such a chaotic situation, every household in Wangjiagou is quite rich, and they don't take anything, right?
Mrs. Xu was originally listening to the recitation of the transcript, but then she heard the sound of crying next to her.
Liu Laozhu burst into tears, and Guan Ertuo was also wiping his tears with his sleeves.
The two of them were still wondering why Mrs. Xu didn't cry. It was so touching. Didn't you think that Captor Zhao at this moment looked like he was accompanying Erdao River through the darkest time? He seemed to be saying with his own strength, You wait patiently and I will make the decision for you.
It's as simple as making decisions for the people, but you will definitely be wronged later because you are in charge of our village, and maybe the old guy in the town hall will put your shoes on.
The reason why Wang Laoba was taken away had nothing to do with the pigs, but because he falsely accused Erdaohe Village of seizing tens of thousands of catties of fish from Wangjiagou. If you want pigs, you should pay for the fish first, and the false accusation will be reversed. What's more, the matter of pigs and beatings needs to be investigated again. That matter is also likely to be a false accusation.
Seeing that Wang Lao Ba stole the chicken but failed to lose the rice, Liu Laozhu was even more excited and wiped his eyes with his hands without saying anything. Capt. Zhao was no longer a relative of the Xu family, but a member of their village, including These good government officials.
We have nothing to give Capt. Zhao, only...
Liu Laozhu waved to the mother-in-law atmosphere group that had been organized long ago: Come on.
Dahongzi and the others rushed forward: "Captain Zhao, are you coming home for dinner? Our whole village welcomes the officials."
"Yes, come all, the whole village will entertain you."
"If you are busy, this is fish. The officials will take some back to eat first. Two for each person. This fish is so delicious. Don't ask for it, we are happy to give it to ourselves."
Bowl after bowl of hot water was brought out by the women and handed to these government officials.
Li Shuangquan took the hot water and felt for the first time that being a government servant was extremely glorious.
There is an indescribable feeling. I have to admit that Erdaohe Village is quite good at organizing the scenery.
Especially: "Close the stall and escort the bastard to jail!"
Liu Laozhu raised his arms and shouted.
The main reason is that there are no barrels.
So the three brothers who returned home had never seen so many torches, the sound of gongs, and a large group of people running towards them happily late at night.
"mother!"
I have never heard so many people shouting and responding to them.
"I came back with food, warehouses and money!"
"Oh, it's my aunt's sons who are back."
