The old man stroked his beard and continued to smile and said: "Shopkeeper Du, for people like them, you can just send someone to get the rice back, beat it up and throw it out. Why go to all this trouble."
Du Wanchun walked forward slowly, "Thank you, Mr. Han, for your help today."
This Mr. Han is the cousin of General Han in the capital. He is engaged in lumber business in the capital. He passed through Cheng'an County this time and happened to visit the Zhou family.
When Du Wanchun saw him coming, he thought of a way to ask Mr. Han to lure the two of them out so that both of them could get the stolen goods together.
"Shopkeeper Du, is it you?! You lied to us!" Boss Lu also understood. He was so angry that he picked up the fork knife on the carriage and was about to strike at Du Wanchun.
At this moment, a group of government officials came out of the dark night. They rushed towards them with swords and surrounded them.
Zhou Ruiyuan walked slowly from the crowd, "Don't stop yet!" ?.?????.???
There was a clang sound, and Mr. Lu was so frightened that he dropped the fork and knife in his hand.
Zhou Ruiyuan strode up to Du Wanchun, protected her behind him, and said sternly to Boss Lu and the eldest brother of the Ding family: "Now that both the stolen goods and the stolen goods have been obtained, what else do you have to say!"
Boss Lu was stagnant on the spot, not knowing what to do for a moment.
His son had a brighter mind and stood up and said: "County Magistrate Zhou, we are here to sell rice. It is obviously Shopkeeper Du who has found someone to deceive us! If you don't arrest her, why are you arresting us?"
After hearing their words, Du Wanchun had a sarcastic smile on his eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, the Lu family has quite a tough mouth.
Boss Lu also followed his second brother's words and continued: "Yes, we are here to sell rice and do a serious business. Why do you Zhou family send people to play tricks on us!"
Mr. Han smiled and said: "A serious business? You steal rice from the folks in the village and sell it, and you still call it a serious business?"
Lu Laoer said confidently: "How do you know that we stole this rice from the villagers? We obviously grew this rice ourselves!"
Boss Lu also echoed: "Yes, I grew this rice myself. If you want to arrest us, you have to come up with evidence. This rice belongs to the villagers."
The Ding family members also started making noises, saying that they grew the rice themselves.
Mr. Han touched his beard and smiled at Du Wanchun: "Shopkeeper Du, this is the first time I have seen such a shameless person."
Du Wanchun replied with a smile: "Mr. Han will laugh."
When Mr. Lu saw that Du Wanchun and the others did not reply, he became even more bold. He pointed at Du Wanchun and cursed: "You are a woman with such a vicious heart! Just don't give us the money for harvesting rice, and you won't let me use my own rice either." sold!"
"You all shut up!"
At this time, a call came from not far away.
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw a person walking slowly in the dark night. It was Xiao Qiu who helped Du Wanchun talk that day.
Xiao Qiu said angrily: "These rice are obviously ours!"
After he finished speaking, he shouted loudly behind him: "Everyone, come and see if your rice is here!"
At this time, a group of villagers emerged from behind him, running toward Boss Lu and his bullock cart one by one.
It turned out that it was not just Xiaoqiu who came, but also other villagers in the village.
Before Du Wanchun came, he had sent people to every house in the village to spread the word, saying that if you want money, come to the ruined temple tonight.
So they all came. Unexpectedly, they saw the Lu family and the Ding family selling their rice here.
At this time, a villager took the rice bag off the oxcart and said, "This rice is ours. When those people came to collect the rice, in order to make it easier for the Zhou family to calculate money, we specially made each family's mark on the rice bag." mark."
Afterwards, several more villages shouted loudly: "Here and here are our rice!"
Du Wanchun raised his eyes to look at Boss Lu and the eldest brother of the Ding family, and sneered: "What else do you have to say?!"
Now they were unable to argue.
Boss Lu trembled and knelt on the ground.
His second brother tried to help him up, but was hit hard by a government servant on the side.
The whole family knelt in a neat row.
Zhou Ruiyuan immediately asked the government officials to take them all to the government office.
In addition to Lu Ding's two families, there are more than ten people who have lived with Mr. Lu.
