After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Shuiqing didn't want to make the relationship too tense.

Ling Ran said that she would try to get there within three days from Shanshui Village to Sihui. She gave an estimate of five days, and there would be no hindrance from gangsters when she came back. Counting three days, that is eight days. At least within eight days, it would be best not to break up with the government.

The longer the delay, the safer Shanshui Village will be.

She watched the yamen servant coming with a smile on her lips and a calm expression.

"Hu's."

Shuiqing didn't respond.

The leader, Sun Captou, quickly stretched out his hand and pulled the sleeve of the companion who made the noise, frowning and signaling.

I really can’t see the situation clearly. This village is obviously different from the previous villages! How can we treat it with the same attitude as before?

If nothing else, which village can allow a woman to take charge of the household? Even if the family is privately run by a woman, and when their yamen servants come to see them, it is the man in the family who comes to report the matter!

Now the old village chief is here, and there are more than a dozen men. None of them talk to each other. The old and young all look at Hu Shuiqing, a woman. When have they ever met such a tacit understanding?

With a smile on his face, he bowed and clasped his fists and asked politely: "Sister Hu, we received someone from the government office this morning to complain about what happened last night. You should understand why I came here?"

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. He spoke to her politely. If she continues to be ungrateful, then he will be rude!

Shui Qing also returned the salute with a smile, and asked gently: "Master, you're welcome. I know what happened last night, but I don't know what the purpose of your visit is."

Another government officer became anxious and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "How could you not know! Last night, there were hundreds of people, and you arrested at least eighty or ninety of them. Where are those people? Hand them over dead or alive!"

Captain Sun's eyebrows twitched, and he felt that he shouldn't have brought this pig-like companion out!

The next moment, I heard the woman opposite said aggrievedly: "You officials really made the decision for us!

But how can you, sir, ask for people for us? Look at our village, dozens of villagers were injured and five were killed. We finally drove away the bandits, but how could we catch them?

Please also ask all the officials to make the decision for us! "

"We are staying safe and living an honest life in our own village. Those gangsters came in, shouting and killing, causing heavy casualties in our village. We were about to send people to the government to ask the big boss to make the decision. Unexpectedly, they dared to file a complaint first!

Just in time, sir, you will quickly catch these gangsters and put them in jail. As for their accomplices, they must know where they are hiding. If you catch them all, you will save the neighbors! "

The officer who asked the question choked and forgot to respond for a long time.

In fact, they had already thought of countermeasures on the way here.

It's impossible to hide eighty or ninety people. Even if they kill them all, they won't be able to hide them all in just a few hours. They see people as soon as they come in, and even the villagers beg them to take them away and sneak them on the road. Just let these people go.

But when I came in, I didn't see anyone, and there wasn't a lot of blood, so I had to hide it, thinking that by deceiving the person and taking the person away, the mission would be completed successfully!

But when the woman in front of him said this, he was completely confused.

He looked at Captain Sun for help, but was glared at by the leader, who could only lower his head and remain silent.

Sun Captou scolded his companions in his heart, but his expression remained calm and calm: "We received a complaint from the victims early in the morning. They said that they were really hungry and asked for food from your village.

I didn't expect that you not only refused to give them, but also gave them lime and poison, and even used knives to force dozens of them to stay. It's not easy for you to see how pitiful the victims are, and they also have their lives, right? Just let us take it away.

Don't worry, our County Magistrate Wu will definitely punish you severely! I must give you an explanation. "

The popularity of Shanshui Village is astonishing!

What does it mean to beg for stuttering? How could hundreds of people come here in the middle of the night begging for food?

It's not easy for the victims, but it's easy for them? Besides, are those people victims of the disaster? Not at all!

Let them take it away? If they hadn't been found out, they would have even taken the initiative to send him to the government office. Now it seems that these people are all working together!

He was angry, but no one came forward to defend himself. Instead, they held their breath and waited for Shui Qing to speak.

Shui Qing's face was very calm and he kicked the ball back: "What the official said is true, but there is one thing wrong. They are the ones who used the knife. Go into these houses and take a look. The people who died have not yet been killed." Buried.

As for those people, it would be great if we could drive them away. Where can we catch them? If you don't believe it, go into the village and go door to door to see if there are any. "

Capt. Sun wanted to go in and check, but there were only five of them. If they really died here, there were so many barren mountains. If they were buried somewhere far away, it would be a problem whether they would be found or not!

He still had a large family to support and couldn't take any chances.

The other four government officials looked at the village, which was much better than elsewhere, and did not dare to move.

Other villages at best only have a few brick and tile houses, and most others have thatched houses, but here there are no thatched houses as far as the eye can see, either brick houses or adobe houses, and the roofs of the adobe houses are also gray tiles!

Not to mention the entire village is walled! There is a wall surrounding the entire village, and there are people guarding the gate.

In a village like an iron bucket, not to mention the five of them, even dozens of people came. No wonder Boss Zhu lost hundreds of people here last night.

Since we can't take people away, we still have to confirm whether they are still alive and whether they are in the village.

Capt. Sun turned to look at the nearest man, and said with half threat and half inducement: "The victims of the disaster this morning said that you arrested dozens of them. It is impossible for the government to ignore so many lives, so if you hide it, It's better to hand it over as soon as possible to save us another trip.

As for whether the person is dead or alive, it doesn't matter. After all, it's their fault for coming to your village in the middle of the night. If they are really dead, they won't blame you. All you have to do is hand it over, and we will also put in a good word for you in front of Magistrate Wu.

But if he refuses to tell anyone, once he is found out, it will be a serious crime! Do you understand that it will harm your parents, wives and children? "

The man who was asked responded naively: "I understand."

Captain Sun waited for his next words, but he didn't wait for a long time.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked again patiently: "You have nothing to say to me? As long as you say it, I will speak kindly to Magistrate Wu, and you won't have anything to say." Everything, including your family, is fine."

The man continued to shake his head naively, and said with a smile: "No."

He even told the county magistrate that nothing would happen, but he was coaxing a fool.

Think he is a fool? He thinks they are the fools!

Sun Captou was so angry that he happened to ask a fool!

The same move could not be used repeatedly. He looked around the village for the last time, raised his hands unwillingly and shouted: "Let's go! Go back!"

Something that I originally thought could not be simpler turned out to be in vain.

I didn't even find out any useful information. How can I explain it when I go back?

But it's okay, Magistrate Wu must have a way to deal with these unruly people.

They wait!
