New widow

"That's him!" When the man who was still crying saw this man, he shouted loudly. At this time, the government officials had already put the man on the ground, but the man just knelt there: "My lord, my lord, I am wronged." .”

"You came to ask for directions and deliberately used words to lure me. When you got here, several people suddenly came out and took away everything on me. You were still crying." The man who was robbed came up and kicked him. After kicking the man a few times, he said to Zhang Qing: "Sir, such evil people must be punished before they are willing to recruit."

Zhang Qing only looked at the man who was accused of being a robber. He was dressed very simply, like a farmer, and his hands were calloused. Zhang Qing already smiled: "If you are wronged, go to the Yamen and file a complaint." That is, why do you want to rob someone and cause such a big disturbance?"

"Sir, Sir!" The man kowtowed on the ground repeatedly: "If I can go to the Yamen to redress my grievances, I will naturally go there. Because I can't go to the Yamen to redress my grievances, we discussed it and came up with such an idea." As he said this, the man He took out a purse from his arms and said: "These are the things I robbed today. They are all here, and there is nothing hidden."

Brother Zhou heard the commotion and had already rushed back with his people. When he came here and glanced at the man, Brother Zhou couldn't help but said in surprise: "Why is it you?"

"Uncle Zhou, you know what's going on in my family. If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't survive, you wouldn't have come up with such an idea and brought the adults here." As he said this, the man burst into tears again, as if he really had a lot of trouble. The secret of injustice. Zhang Qing couldn't help but look at Brother Zhou. Brother Zhou knew what Zhang Qing meant and hurriedly knelt down to Zhang Qing: "Sir, I didn't know that they actually did this before."

"Get up and talk." Seeing Brother Zhou like this, Zhang Qing knew that things must be tortuous, so he could only tell Brother Zhou to get up first. Brother Zhou stood up and said, "Sir, do you still remember those people who kidnapped Miss Zhou in the past?"

"Didn't those two people have been caught later?" Of course Zhang Qing remembered this incident. Brother Zhou nodded: "They were indeed caught, but the people caught at the beginning were not complete."

Zhang Qing also guessed this, but this matter was led by the prefect. At that time, the prefect wanted to arrest someone and arrested a few. Naturally, Zhang Qing and others could no longer talk.

"Then what?" Zhang Qing looked at Brother Zhou. Before Brother Zhou could speak, the man kneeling on the ground was already crying loudly: "A man ran back and bullied men and women. The little one really can't survive. I originally wanted to file a complaint, but he said, he said..." As the man started crying again, Brother Zhou tugged on his sleeve and said, "Keep talking."

"He said that they are powerful. Even if we file a complaint, the Yamen will not accept our case, so that's why we took this step." After saying this, the man kowtowed to Zhang Qing again and again: "Everything the villain said is true, please sir. Accept our complaint and give us a clean slate."

"Nonsense!" The man who had been robbed had already looked at his belongings and knew that these things were not lost, so he shouted loudly: "No one in this world is willing to go to jail."

"That's because you haven't encountered any trouble." The man looked at Zhang Qing with tears on his face: "My lord, my lord, what I said is all the truth. If you don't believe it, then please follow me to the small house." 's home."

"Let's go!" Zhang Qing pondered for a while and ordered Brother Zhou. Brother Zhou hurriedly responded, walked up to the man and said to him: "Hurry up and lead me to your home. I will not let you be wronged."

"Sir, villain..." The man who was robbed shouted loudly, and Zhang Qing had already said to him: "Since your things have been returned to you, then go home, marry a wife, and live a good life. go."

When the man heard this, he stopped arguing and turned around and left. Li Zheng had already caught up with Zhang Qing: "My lord, this person looks cunning, my lord, it's better not to go."

"There are so many of us. Besides..." Zhang Qing paused slightly, with a calm smile on his face: "If you really want to gather people to become bandits, you must have suffered great injustice. As an official of the imperial court, I naturally have to To clear their grievances.”

Since Zhang Qing said this, Li Zheng could no longer dissuade him and could only accompany Zhang Qing to the man's house.

The man's house was not far away, only two miles away. Before he reached the entrance of the village, he saw people waiting there. When he saw Zhang Qing bringing people over, these waiting people knelt down in front of Zhang Qing and shouted: : "My lord, my lord, please clear our grievances."

Zhang Qing couldn't help but take a step back and looked at these people. They were all dressed similarly to the man just now. They were all dressed in peasant attire and looked sad. However, there were no women or children among the crowd. This was strange. In this village, women and children They often come out with them, so why can’t they see women and children?

Seeing Zhang Qing stopping there, a man who looked like a leader stepped forward and said respectfully to Zhang Qing: "Sir, please follow us into the village. You will know when you enter the village."

This village is not big, it looks like there are only twenty or thirty households. Zhang Qing winked at Brother Zhou. Brother Zhou already understood and quietly left with the people.

Zhang Qing then smiled and said to this person: "You are putting so much effort into this, can you say that..."

Before Zhang Qing finished speaking, he heard someone shouting angrily from the village: "Where are the people? Where have they gone?"

people? Zhang Qing's eyebrows couldn't help but frown. The leader had already said: "Sir, this is the thief."

Everyone had walked into the village at this time. Zhang Qing saw a big man holding a wine bottle in his hand, drinking and shouting loudly. All the doors were closed tightly, as if they were afraid of this big man.

When the big man saw the leader, he threw the bottle to the ground and stepped forward to grab the leader's collar: "Where have you all gone today? Could it be..."

"Come here!" Zhang Qing shouted. Hearing Zhang Qing's cry, the big man subconsciously looked up and saw that it was Zhang Qing. The big man couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why is there an official?"

Then the big man turned and muttered to himself: "I'm not afraid of any official, no matter what, no matter what, even the prefect can..."

"Tie them up for me." Zhang Qing shouted, but those people didn't dare to move. Zhang Qing had already sneered: "He is only one person. There are so many of you, what are you afraid of?"

"There are still people." The person behind him whispered, and the big man rushed to Zhang Qing: "I recognize you, you are the new one from Sifu. I know what kind of person you are, so I will tell you clearly. , today you tie me up and take me to the Yamen, and I will come out again tomorrow."
