The old woman's words surprised everyone on Zhao Yu's side, and the-for-tat between Shen Mengting and Shen Jun was suddenly stopped.

Almost all of them said that they were looking at the old woman in the distance.

"I'm right! I didn't break the vase, it must have broken before I hit the cart. The old woman's voice was so loud that it seemed that the whole forest could hear it, "You officers and soldiers, you have not been able to escort things yourself, and they have caused them to break!

The old woman's appearance looked a little imposing, but Lieutenant Chen Ziqun in front of her was unusually unhurried. He even put his hands behind his back and erected his chest.

At present, the lieutenant's eyes showed a hint of nothingness, "Ahh

"I'm not talking nonsense! I remember it well!" the old woman's legs moved. Probably because of her old age, her pace was very unstable, and she felt like she was about to fall, "When you walked through this fork in the road, you deliberately pushed the cart towards my daughter. My daughter has this child in her hand! Of course I'm going to have to go out of the way! And then the cart was knocked over, but there was no glass shattering in it. Then, as if you were cooperating, you opened the cart and said that we had broken the vase inside. Oh my God! How can there be such a ridiculous thing in the world! You just slammed the vase into the scoundrel! Are you so embarrassed?"

The old woman was panting, and she coughed twice from time to time, and her tone was full of sorrow.

"Old woman!" the old man stood up at this moment, and he took the old woman's hand with tears, "Don't talk about it anymore!"

"No! I'm going to speak!" the old woman glared at the lieutenant viciously, "how can there be such a bully! It's not our fault, but we must bear it! I will never compromise with this group of people!"

"Please! don't talk about it anymore!" the old man seemed to beseem.

"Father!" the daughter was no longer kneeling. But because she was holding a baby in her hand, she struggled to stand up, but eventually she straightened up. The first thing she did when she stood up was hugged her father's back. Of course, her other free hand did not forget to put it on her mother's shoulder, "Mother!"

"Girl, it's not your mother who wants to quarrel! But these people are too deceitful!"

"What if you deceive people too much? This is the fate of our civilians!" the old man choked up a few times, "Now, I just ask these officials to see us pitiful and take our lives!"

The crying of this family made Zhao Yu worry, he would never have imagined that things would develop in this direction.

And Shen Jun was even more angry, he directly swung his head to Shen Mengting next to him, "See! This is the fault of the civilians you just talked about?"

But Shen Mengting is still not angry at the moment, she still continues to wait and see.

"What's the use of you begging for mercy like this, will they let our family go?" the old woman hugged the old man as well. Her hands even stretched out together, and the woman behind the old man hugged them tightly.

"Woo, Daddy, Mommy, Woo......" the woman couldn't stop crying.

Regarding the pathetic atmosphere in front of him, Lieutenant Chen Ziqun didn't seem to be infected at all. On the contrary, he still looked at it all with a void gaze.

The soldiers around him began to talk to each other, as if whispering something, but definitely not sympathetic to the family.

"Okay, are you done, have you cried enough?" Lieutenant Chen Ziqun slowly straightened his chest, "If you've cried enough, then come with us!"

"You ......," the old woman suddenly turned into a very angry gaze. She left the arms of her husband and daughter and rushed straight to the lieutenant, "Don't go too far!"

However, just as she was about to rush in front of Lieutenant Chen Ziqun, a group of soldiers fiercely blocked in front of her. They all carried swords, and seemed to never allow the old woman to come any closer.

"Don't! Don't!" the old man hurriedly rushed to pull his wife, "Don't be impulsive!

But the old woman shook off her wife's grasp, "How can I not be impulsive." These sons of bitches have made mistakes themselves, and they want to blame us for their crimes. Do you think they'll let us go? It's impossible! I see! It's better to just fight to the end!"

"Don't!"

"Why are you so cowardly, old man!"

"I said! Don't!" the old man stepped on the ground, "What's the matter with you old woman? Are you afraid that things won't go wrong? If you want to fight to the end, I won't object! But have you ever thought about your family? Your grandchildren are so young, can you bear to let them go without an adult to take care of them?"

The old man's words seemed to make the old woman suddenly. The old woman suddenly took a step back, and no longer confronted the soldiers.

After a long time, the old woman seemed to have figured out something, and after taking a sharp breath, she fell to the ground as if she had lost her support, "Ahh......h

At this time, the lieutenant named Chen Ziqun still did not show the slightest sympathy. He even took a few steps forward and made a provocative mockery, "What's the matter, grandmother, do you seem to be fighting with me?

"You ......," the old woman cried even more.

Zhao Yu saw that even his heart flowed with sadness. And at this moment, he seemed to see the corners of the lieutenant's mouth hooked.

Lieutenant Chen Ziqun seemed to be laughing, what was he laughing at? Just as Zhao Yu didn't explain, the smile on Chen Ziqun's face disappeared. Zhao Yu hurriedly shook his face and looked at the lieutenant carefully.

At present, Lieutenant Chen Ziqun did not smile, but put on an expressionless face.

Could it be all his own delusion just now? Zhao Yudun was a little puzzled. He narrowed his eyes a few more times in succession, and condensed the Chen Ziqun. However, no matter how Zhao Yu looked at each other, he just couldn't detect a trace of 'laughing' from that person's face.

However, Zhao Yu didn't believe his eyes when he saw him smiling just now.

"Me?" Lieutenant Chen Ziqun's head was tilted, as if a hand was pulling his neck, "what am I?"

"You...... You ......," the old woman glared at the lieutenant as if she were an enemy, "and you, as a national officer, bully us civilians like this, ...... Are you embarrassed?"

"Huh?" Lieutenant Chen Ziqun replied slowly, "What do you mean by bullying you?" his tone was extremely polite, "Didn't you break what we were guarding for?"

"That's right, the vase we took great pains to escort back from other towns, but just as we were about to get to the front of the city, it was broken by your group of people. Are you embarrassed to say that we are bullying you?"

"You ......"

"Alright! Enough! Don't talk about it anymore!" the old man suddenly rushed in front of the old woman, and he even blocked his wife with his body, "I resigned myself to my fate! I compromised! Okay! We broke it, I don't mean to refute it! Okay, right?"

"Old man!"

"You really don't have to talk about it anymore!" the old man twisted his head and stomped his feet to his wife, "What's the use of saying so much? I have already said that this is our life, and they will not let me go!"

"But ......"

"Even if you work hard, is it useful? Can you fight them hard? Don't forget, you still have children to take care of! Do you want to throw both children to Jinghui?"

Obviously, 'Jinghui' is the name of the daughter of the two of them, that is, the name of the woman holding the baby next to her.

Probably hearing her father shouting her name, the woman seemed to be crying even harder, and she was uttering the words 'Father!'

"All right! Don't talk anymore! I'll accept my fate!" the old man's face was full of sorrow, and his long white beard seemed to be dragging off because he was probably too sad. Not only that, but his hands were clenched into fists, "Okay! I'll take care of everything!"

When the old man's words fell, the other soldiers all looked puzzled.

"Old man!"

"Shut up! Go to the side and accompany your daughter!" the old man slowly walked towards the lieutenant after reprimanding his wife. His pace was extremely slow, but there was a sense of determination in it.

The soldiers who were standing in front of the lieutenant also seemed to feel an extremely oppressive force, and they began to slowly retreat. However, in a few seconds, they didn't need to stay up any longer, because the lieutenant behind them motioned for them all to get out of the way.

"......Lieutenant Chen!

"Get out of the way!"

Under the lieutenant's repeated orders, the soldiers walked left and right and made way of a passage.

Under the mutual gaze of the lieutenant and the old man, the two finally got closer. The lieutenant looked at the old man with his head held high, but the old man did not take note of it.

The old man kept his head down. But after a few seconds, the old man suddenly fell to his knees. There was a cry in his voice, as if he wanted to bury his head in the ground, "Okay! I admit it! You think I broke the vase, that's what I did!"

"Hey, old man, you can't talk nonsense! It's obvious that you broke it, so why do you seem to be doing something wronged!" Lieutenant Chen Ziqun said in a lukewarm tone.

The old man didn't refute anything, he did give people the feeling of resignation all along, "Yes, yes, yes, I broke it!"

"How can you admit it, old man?"

"Don't talk about it! They say, 'We broke it,' so it has to be us!" The old man's face continued to let out a sense of sadness, "Woo woo......

"Don't you old man understand human speech? Do you still think we're wronging you?"

The old man forced his nose a few times, and the white whiskers under his nose and mouth were blown up and down, "Actually! I knew the bottle was already broken......! But I don't think there's any need to explain anything? because...... Because whether or not we broke the vase, we will be doomed today!"

"Old man, you...... What do you say? You know I didn't break the bottle?"

"Father, you know why you have to confess!"

"Ah, I can't help it!" the old man cast a deep gaze at his wife. At the moment, his spirit has long been tortured to the point of inconsistency. Just when many people thought he would collapse, he was unusually calm. I saw him shake off those two arms, and he looked like he had seen it, "It doesn't matter who broke it, the key is that this vase has been broken!"

After saying this, the old man turned his head back to the lieutenant, "Well, I can understand their position! They also took a lot of effort to escort the officer's things." Unexpectedly, it was broken by them. If they go back like this, they will inevitably be punished by the officials. So...... So it's only natural that they want to find a substitute for the dead!"

Compared with the old man's extreme family grief, the lieutenant named Chen Ziqun actually showed a wrecked smile.

And when Zhao Yu in the distance saw that smile, he instantly seemed to be hit by a lightning strike. That's right! That's it! Just now, Zhao Yu had already experienced it from the lieutenant's face.

Anyone who makes this kind of smile basically shows that he has done something bad!

Now, Zhao Yu has become more and more inclined to the fact that the vase was broken by this group of soldiers. In order to avoid responsibility, the soldier wanted to call the old man's family to take the blame.

"That's the way it is, so I think it's better to rely on them!"

"How can you do this, old man!"

"This is the best!" the old man shook his body heavily, "Only in this way can we save our family!"

"Huh?" the old woman seemed to be a little confused about what her wife meant.

The old man didn't explain too much, but kowtowed to the lieutenant in front of him, "Okay! I can agree to your request, that is, be the one who broke the vase! I will have no complaints, and I will have no other arguments." I can listen to all your requests. But ......" the old man's tone intensified, and there was a hint of the other party having to agree.

This shocked Lieutenant Chen Ziqun a little, and he began to look at the white-bearded old man in front of him.

"But there is one thing you must say yes to!" the old man's gaze changed to sharp, and he no longer seemed to be a weak old thing, but a very responsible old man.

Lieutenant Chen Ziqun didn't have time to think about anything, and a sentence of 'what to promise' came out of his final escape.

"I can go with you! I can take all the responsibility! But you will let my family go!" the old man did not even cry at this moment, he still patted his chest, as if trying to confide in him, 'He will take care of everything'.

"Leave your family alone?"

"Yes, let my family go!" the old man rolled his eyes, "Don't you just want a person who breaks the vase! Come on! I'll be this person! But my family doesn't need to take it together, please let them go!"

"Oh?" said Lieutenant Chen Ziqun, who seemed to have heard something interesting, and looked at the old woman next to the old man, and the woman and a child, and looked straight at him several times.

"It's good for you, too!" the old man took a deep breath, "You might as well think of it this way." If you insist on arresting all my family, then it will inevitably cause them to revolt. Would it be good for you to resist? If you take them to the house of the official you escorted the vase, they will cry out desperately. Do you really want to see such a scene?"

Hearing the old man's words, the lieutenant's brow furrowed. Perhaps, he didn't want to take so many people away in his heart. It is an indisputable fact that the more people there are, the more troublesome they have.

"Now, you will take me away! I will not have any desire to complain, and I will definitely take everything on my shoulders. Isn't that what you want?

Lieutenant Chen Ziqun's eyes widened, and he still had the feeling of glaring in an instant. The old man was not wrong at all. Chen Ziqun and his soldiers just wanted to find someone to carry the pot of 'breaking the vase'. As for the number of people, it can be said that it does not matter at all.

Besides, if Chen Ziqun really wants to take those people away, he will definitely provoke a backlash from their family. When that happens, won't that be a shot in the foot?

Lieutenant Chen Ziqun kept rolling his eyes in his sockets, which was the result of deep reflection on the matter. Several of his subordinates were also staring at him expectantly.

After a long time, Chen Ziqun took a deep breath. He had a sense that he had figured it all out, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

The old man didn't even think about it, and blurted out directly: "Just do it!"

Lieutenant Chen Ziqun then sighed, "Okay!

The old man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. But the action of exhaling his breath was still starting, but Lieutenant Chen Ziqun's words made him hold his breath.

"Don't relax yet! I'm not done yet!" Lieutenant Chen Ziqun touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, "Since you want to take on everything with all your might, then I will do what you want! In other words, I, as a lieutenant, have a kind heart and are kind enough to spare your family's life! After all, you broke that vase, and I didn't wronged you anything, right?"

Chen Ziqun's meaning is obvious, and he will definitely not compromise even if he privately admits that the vase was not broken by the old man's family.
