The villagers woke up one after another when the Liang house was about to get up, and they were wearing their clothes and coming out to check, and when they saw that the Liang family was embarrassed, they hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"What's going on?"

"Did you recruit a thief?"

“…………”

Liang Baida didn't bother to pay attention to the villagers' inquiries, and asked anxiously, "Where is the village chief?

The first few strong men rushed over, and they hurriedly pulled their necks and shouted, "Copy the guys! Damn! When no one in our Liangjia Village dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head, it's really fucking tired and crooked......

The Liang family was robbed, and before and after the □□ was not a man, Li San rushed over with a kitchen knife, and when he heard that a robber came to the door, he was anxious to rush over and fight hard.

Liang Zizhuang grabbed him and scolded, "Don't be impulsive! What is the use of you alone! Hundreds of people, one person and one foot can kick you into meat puree."

When Li Sanyi heard so much, he panicked at that time, and his thin voice raised and shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Take out all the guys who slaughtered the beasts and fight with these things! Damn, if you have the courage to come, don't be afraid of death!"

The already sharp voice, shouting in his voice, was really like an initiation, so that the gentlemen, who were still a little confused, immediately came back to their senses.

They are still worried about going to the Liang family to borrow grain during the spring famine, which will be robbed by some thieves, and will they not end up their own back road? Hungry tigers grab food in their mouths, isn't this rushing to find death!

As soon as Huzi resisted the hoe and rushed over, he turned around and returned home to pick up the guillotine for chopping pigweed, and roared with a meaty face, "Don't worry, the owner is here, come out to kill one by one, come out and slaughter one by one!"

Hearing this, the big tiger angrily picked up the crowd and kicked the brother hard, and the fool rushed up at this time! More than 100 people, and the old and young masters of the whole village rushed up, and they might not be able to please him. Let's just do a good job, just this fool is sincere, if you don't look at it, Liang Jia will have to be widowed for the rest of her life.

Chen Qing rubbed the corners of his forehead, waved his hand to stop the chaotic villagers, and drew his attention to himself, before he calmly spoke, "Everyone calm down, they are overwhelming, and if they really fight, we may not be able to please us." It's not worth it to hurt ten or eight for a little food. In the disaster year, not only is there a shortage of food, but also the herbs cannot be transported, and if they can't be treated in time, the Liang family can't afford this responsibility......"

Liang Baida also meant this, and hurriedly invited the village chief to whisper for a long time, and said, "On behalf of the Liang family, I have thanked all the villagers first, and after a while, these thieves will come out, and I hope that the blind dates can help the earthquake, if you are lucky enough to recognize a few people, please identify them on the spot, and you can also give a witness when you go to court in the future."

If it weren't for the fact that life could not go on, who would dare to take the risk of raiding homes and houses? Once caught, it would be a crime to serve forced labor in prison, and those who dared to rob were no different from mad dogs.

The villagers were worried that their fists and feet would have no eyes, so they hurriedly seconded the proposal, patting their chests again and again to promise that they would recognize all the thieves with wide eyes.

According to the teams assigned during the patrol, the villagers each copied the gang and gathered into several teams, and when the robbers who were crazy about robbing went out, they swarmed up and surrounded them, leaving no way out.

The thieves who returned with a full load were blocked as soon as they went out, and the atmosphere was tense for a moment, and there was no way to live, if they didn't work hard, there would only be a dead end!

The masters of Liangjia Village stared at the pockets behind the thieves, it was all food, if they grabbed a bag and a half, even if they didn't hide it privately, they wouldn't mind giving a little reward if they wanted to come to the Liang family.

The villagers who refused to give up their lives just now will all have their eyes warmed up, and they are ready to move just waiting for an order, desperately trying to leave these life-saving rations.

Not only the villagers of Liangjia Village were excited, but the robbers were even more nervous, the sound of rolling in their throats came and went, the hoes and sharp knives were confronted from afar, and the palms of the hands were forced out of a thin layer of sweat in winter.

The thieves who did not give in to each other when distributing the grain were united at this time, back to back. Those who are familiar with each other put together the food, and free up their hands to prepare to kill a bloody road.

Carrying dozens of catties of food to escape for their lives is only the share of being beaten, and there may be a glimmer of hope for entrusting the burden to a reliable person, even if he dies, the surviving person will transfer all the food to his family, and the life-saving food in exchange for death will dare to be greedy for this kind of thing if he is not afraid to ask for his life.

Liang Baida led the crowd out, looked at a group of thieves with panicked expressions, and shouted: "You and other foolish people, ignoring the laws of the imperial court to rob the house, aren't you afraid of being wanted by the government? My Liang family has always been kind-hearted, as long as you put down your things, you will not be to blame for the past in this matter, and those who are stubborn and resistant, don't blame me for ignoring the past." I think there must be someone among you who is familiar with my Liang family, and when you tear your face and report to the government, no one will be able to please you!"

"Liang Baida, who are you scaring about! If we dare to come, we are not afraid that you will sue the government! Liang Zijun has done a lot of evil, and it is difficult to escape the law, your Liang family is too busy to take care of themselves, even if you sue the county government, the county lord will ignore you!"

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, some thieves who were still disheartened immediately shook their spirits, and shouted provocatively and scolded.

There was a chaotic verbal battle, and the posture of the two sides was only a clear comparison with each other, and no one dared to really take a step forward.

Li Sanhui's eyes were like torches, and after only a while, he recognized a person, and pointed to the slightly uncoordinated man in the crowd on the spot and scolded, "Qi Laogui, don't fucking think that if you cover your face, others won't be able to see that you are a cripple!"

Qi Laogui stood on tiptoe and limped on the spot, and his body was balanced on tiptoe. However, Li San shouted, when the sky was bright, he couldn't hide his legs even if he had the intention, so he only blamed himself for rushing over his head, and at this moment he slammed into the crowd.

"Don't hide the fuck, even if you hide in the cracks in the ground, you won't be able to escape the arrest of the government! Why don't you get out and confess? For the sake of the past, Li Ye will beg the owner to spare your dog's life!" Li San pointed his throat and threatened him, as long as someone took the lead in subduing the law, he would not be able to solve the current deadlock.

"What kind of thing are you? A long-term worker dares to be a master here! Go back to the master's feet and wag his tail and beg for mercy, and the little fucking one runs out and barks indiscriminately" When the leader saw that the situation was not good, he peeked at the sky, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

If you wait for the sky to be bright, even if you cover your face, you are afraid that your identity will be revealed.

Chen Qing frowned, turned his head sideways and asked in a low voice, "Second brother, is there a tenant in the neighboring village who has studied in the school?"

Liang Ziping thought for a while, and shook his head cluelessly, "I don't remember that there is such a tenant who can speak well, Xu is under the eldest brother, and he will know when he comes back and asks."

With Li San taking the lead in identification, the gentlemen of Liangjia Village called out the names of people they knew or met one after another, even if they shouted casually, it was enough to scare the thieves into fear.

Those who were called to break their identities all shrank into the crowd, and there was no silver in denying it. But such a move confirmed the speculation of the villagers, and they pulled his neck and scolded him for being a turtle grandson, and he was unsightly to hide his head and tail.

The thieves standing on the outermost side are also afraid of being recognized, and they all refuse to be at the forefront. More than 100 people are already crowded together, which will be like dumplings in a boiling pot, taking turns to change positions.

Chen Ping was originally standing in the middle, but because of his weak strength, he couldn't squeeze others, so he would be pushed to the front.

When he met Chen Qing's eyes, Chen Ping knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly raised the cloth bag in front of him to cover his head and face, and squeezed behind the two men behind him.

Chen Qing gritted his teeth and yelled, "Chen ......!

Even if he turned to ashes, Chen Qing would not mistake Chen Ping, this thing can't change the □□, and he actually came to rob it with thieves! I just heard that Chen Ping came to the door yesterday, and found him in the crowd this morning, if I didn't know that he didn't have the courage, I would have to think that he was the one who took the lead.

Because of his face, Chen Qing didn't reveal his identity, and swallowed back half a word halfway through the shout, and scolded hatefully, "If you don't learn and don't know how to do it, how can you still live in the world with a shy face?"

Chen Qing's scolding, but all the thieves are included, and the gentlemen have already done bad things, which will really shrink their backs and have no face to see people.

Chen Ping hugged the cloth bag tightly, no matter how much the people behind him pushed him, he didn't dare to raise his head again, and he couldn't stand the push with more than 30 catties of grain hanging on his shoulders, so he simply sat on the ground with his buttocks, but he just happened to stabilize his position.

Who Chen Qing is referring to, others may not understand, but the Liang family knows it, and they really mean to inquire when Chen Ping came to the door yesterday. really responded to the sentence "Weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, but he didn't have a good heart".

The situation changed rapidly, and as seven or eight people were identified one after another, the leader didn't care about the situation, and with a wave of his hand, he forcibly rushed into battle with the number one hundred and ten thieves.

The gentlemen of Liangjia Village were eager to step forward to fight, but Liang Baida waved his hand to stop them, and slowly made a gap for these thieves to break through.

The leader didn't expect to be able to break through the encirclement so easily, and he still couldn't believe it when he took the lead through the crowd nervously, until he saw that there was no one to stop the way out of the village, so he roared roughly, and shouted with a little excitement, "Go!"

Chen Qing stretched out his arms to stop the impatient villagers behind him, and watched the people leave. It wasn't until the thieves who ran in front of him went away that they followed closely behind the palace.

The breakthrough was successful, and seeing that the village was about to leave, the thieves who ran first all slipped away, and who cared about the people who were left behind.

Chen Qing grinned at the thieves who were shivering and frequently turned their heads to run, and the dozens of men who were really bluffing had a chill down their spines, and they turned their heads and fled with food regardless of it.

"Chase!" Chen Qing yelled, took the lead in rushing up and knocking down one, didn't care about him, got up and grabbed the other person hanging behind.

The gentlemen of Liangjia Village roared and rushed up, smashing them with shovels and hoes, and those who had nowhere to start rushed to chase after the fleeing people without waiting for orders.

How fast can you run with the grain on your shoulder? Just look at Chen Qing's efforts to knock down three of them in a short time. After the gentlemen of Liangjia Village beat the water dogs, they also came back to their senses, leaving the two guards behind, and the rest were all like wolves and tigers to chase the stupid thieves in front of them.

At this time, the thieves are all concerned about escaping, who cares if others live or die? Can they run one by one, let the screams behind them be screaming, as long as it is not themselves who fall.

"Brother Dacheng, save me ......"

There was a scream behind him, and the man called Dacheng didn't even dare to turn his head, and ran more and more desperately, as if there was a chasing king of Hades behind him, and he insisted on running fast with thirty or forty catties of grain as cotton.

But no matter how fast he ran, he finally fell under the pickaxe, and his head was bleeding secretly, damn it, it would be better to tie his hands and catch it......

When the blood was red in front of him, he saw the lame man in front of him throw down a small bag of grain to lead people to pick it up, and after reducing the weight, a lame leg actually made an arrow like a fly, like a scud possessed by a few people rushing forward.

...... Why didn't he think of a few more pockets......

A group of rabble selfishly cared only about their own safety, completely disregarded the overall situation, and refused to advance and retreat together, and the result was that about one-fifth of their hands were folded in this chase.

Chen Qing saw that the thieves were gone, and he also knew the truth of the poor Kou Mo's pursuit, so he shouted back to everyone at the top of his voice, and turned back to count the prisoners of war.

In this pursuit, 25 people were arrested on the spot, plus a total of 26 accomplices of the thief captured in Liang's house. It is estimated that more than 3,000 catties of grain were lost, and 800 catties were preserved.

The thieves were all tied up, and only half of the grain was recovered, and the rest was divided on the spot to thank the helpers of the same village.

Although each gentleman only has four or five catties, it is enough to make people happy, and there is still food to share after the victory, and it is a good life to celebrate.

Naturally, there is no need to show mercy to the robbers, even if they are killed, they do not need to lose their lives if they are taken to the government, and the county government has a small reward for those who have made meritorious contributions to encourage the people to eliminate violence and peace.

The village chief pulled the thieves tied up in a string in front of Liang Baida, lifted the cloth towel and interrogated them one by one. Most of these were poor people from the surrounding villages, and there were three tenants among them.

When he lifted the face of the thief who was the first to be captured, Chen Qing slapped him hard with a calm face, "Third Uncle Chen, we have been neighbors for more than ten years, I didn't know you were so bold!"

Chen Laosan lowered his old face and smiled bitterly, his lips opened and closed for a long time before he begged, "Baby, uncle is also out of line, the family can't live a life, and even Nizi is ruthlessly sold...... Will you let the third uncle go once?"

Chen Qing closed his eyes vigorously, he really didn't expect to see acquaintances other than Chen Ping, but he was not the only one who was catching him now, and he couldn't make his own decisions whether he let it go or not.

With so many pairs of eyes watching, it was not good to engage in favoritism in public, so I had to say ruthlessly, "It's useless for the third uncle to beg me, the law is not merciful, since I dare to rob, I should expect that there will be such an end today......"

"Ah Qing...... There is no rice in the pot at home, and I can't watch the whole family starve to death...... I'll kneel down and kowtow to you......" The man in his thirties knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes and pleaded, even if he didn't recognize it, he couldn't stand crying like this, Chen Qing was not a hard-hearted person, and now it was a disaster year, if he didn't really have to endure it, he would do the wrong thing of breaking the law and breaking the law.

Liang Ziping pulled Chen Qing as soon as he was not embarrassed, but at this time he could not be soft-hearted, if even the robbers dared to let him go in private, then what position would he have to suppress the rest of the thieves to see the officials? If he did not make an example of him this time, he would not be able to keep it all the time, and more victims would come to the door to grab food next time.

Chen Laosan's kneeling begging caused the remaining 20 or so people to cry one after another.

"This thief doesn't let people live......"

"Liang Dashan, you can do it, let us go this time......"

"Please let me go, I still have an eighty-year-old grandfather to be honored, and a baby to be fed, if I am arrested and sent to prison, the whole family will not be able to live......"

"You don't remember the villain, we can't do anything else, next time we starve to death, we won't dare to do bad things anymore......"

“…………”

Liang Baida was already kind-hearted, and he couldn't bear to force people to see officials at this time, once he was convicted, the family really couldn't live this day, so he couldn't help but scold, "Confused......"

Before Liang Baida finished speaking, Liang Baisong stepped forward with a cold face and persuaded, "Big brother, don't, if this matter is not resolved, I am afraid that it will cause greater disasters in the future."

"This knot can't be a woman's benevolence, and in previous years, the grain was not for mercy, but look at the moment, if it weren't for some rabble, I'm afraid our family is really going to have a big deal this time."

"Hey~ Bai Da, I didn't say you, this good deed should also be done according to your ability, there are so many poor people, you can help a village but you can't help the whole county! Let's not talk about it far away, even the next village has several comes, I think I know that they are all some ungrateful things, why bother to take the whole family to help them? You are not a county official, why meddle with things? Fortunately, no one in the village bumps into it this time, if it is really broken, who will dare to take care of your family's affairs next time?" the village chief persuaded in a serious voice.

Living in a village, if the Liang family causes trouble for the village every time, I am afraid that no one will dare to intervene to help next time. At that time, the crazy eye of grabbing food and snatching will also be smashed together with the people in the village, and it will cause disaster to the whole village.
