Chapter 57: Arrest
With this almsgiving, Ye Feng completely completed the task of rewarding good and punishing evil. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Not only that, Ye Feng also took this opportunity to spread the news that he planned to start a sect.
The effect is also good, solving the problem of lack of people to build a sect, and nearly a thousand people plan to join the sect.
This was supposed to be a happy thing, but when it was about to come to an end, there was a business trip.
I saw that the crowd on the street was divided into two, making way for the ten errand officials in official clothes.
The government suddenly came, and the alms were forced to stop.
Looking at the ten errand officers who came over, Ye Feng's sword eyebrows suddenly frowned, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his heart.
"You are Ye Feng?"
The one who opened his mouth to question was a middle-aged man, this person's physique was very strong, his right hand was holding the handle of the knife, and his left hand was pointing at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng's gaze swept over the ten people in turn, and he frowned again, the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger, and he instantly felt that an unknown calamity was about to fall on his head.
With a hint of uneasiness in his heart, Ye Feng slowly stood up from the chair, clasped his fists with both hands and smiled at the middle-aged head catcher: "This errand brother, I don't know...... What do you call it? ā
For Ye Feng's fist salute, the head catcher who took the lead turned a blind eye. Not only that, he pursed his lips and did not reply to Ye Feng's words, and swept his gaze to the beggars.
"You dare to take the dirty silver? Aren't you afraid of losing your head? ā
The words of the head catcher scared all the beggars half to death, especially the beggars who had just received the silver taels, and their hands holding the silver taels were trembling.
Looking at Ye Feng again, although his body did not tremble, he also sensed a bad smell from the words of the head catcher.
"Dirty silver? It seems that they came for the silver. Ye Feng's eyes rolled sharply, and he roughly understood why the ten people came.
What Ye Feng thought was not groundless, and the next words of the middle-aged head catcher made Ye Feng even more sure that the purpose of the ten people coming here was for 100,000 taels of silver.
"If you have one of you, whether you have received two taels of silver or not, you will all go to the government office within an hour to file with you. If you hand over the silver taels you received on time, if you are a quarter of an hour slower, you will blame the prefect for being ruthless, and you will be convicted of the death penalty of embezzling dirty silver. ā
"Official, I'm wronged. This...... This silver is all given by Young Master Ye Fengye, I ...... We didn't know it was dirty silver. ā
"Catch the head, you spare your life, even if you lend us a hundred guts, you don't dare to swallow dirty silver? I...... I don't want any money, so be merciful and let me go. ā
ā¦ā¦
Instantly! I only heard the cries and begging for mercy on the street, and hundreds of beggars knelt on the ground, constantly kowtowing to the middle-aged people.
That's not all, the beggars who had just received the silver ran to the box tremblingly, threw all the silver in their hands into it, and then knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the middle-aged head.
As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, and the beggars also understand this truth. They are more aware of their identities, and it can be said that their lives are not worth much in the eyes of others, even if they die on the street one day, it would be considered merciful for the government to send someone to bury them, let alone find out the cause of death.
Just like at this moment, even if the beggars repeatedly shouted and kowtowed and begged for mercy, there was no trace of pity and sympathy in the eyes of the middle-aged headhunter.
"Humph! A group of stinky beggars with no ambitions, it is precisely with the existence of your group of people that Wangu Town will rank third among the thirteen major towns in Qingshui Country. The prefect Hou let you live in Wangu Town, and it was merciful enough not to knock you out of Wangu Town, and today you dare to do something that violates the law, are you tired of being crooked? The head catcher was furious, and his eyes were full of sarcasm and contempt as he looked at the hundreds of beggars.
Perhaps, the beggars have long been accustomed to angry scolding and humiliation, and these ugly words of the head catcher did not make the beggars too ashamed. All they wanted now was to forgive them and kowtow a few more times so they could leave.
However, the head catcher did not let go, and let the group of beggars kneel and kowtow.
Turning around, the catcher looked at Ye Feng again, looked up and down a few times, and waved his hand at the nine catchers behind him.
"Tie me up!"
As soon as the words came out, there was no longer a sound on the streets of thousands of people, and even the beggars who kowtowed and begged for mercy trembled, already stunned by the words of the middle-aged headhunter.
The head catcher didn't say why he wanted to arrest Ye Feng at all, which angered the strong men and servants of the Ye family, seeing the four fast catchers coming with iron chains and shackles, the strong men standing behind Ye Feng instantly rushed out of the seven people, directly protected Ye Feng behind him, and glared at the four catchers in front of him one by one.
"Oops! Do you dare to obstruct this arrester? Come on, take Ye Feng down for me. Who dares to stop the same binding and escort to the government office, if it is a malicious resistant, kill it! ā
The middle-aged head catcher gave the order again, and the order was still to kill. Not only was the thousands of people on the street shocked, but even Ye Feng's face turned a little pale.
You know, human life is bigger than heaven. The head catcher goes out to handle the case, even if he encounters the resistance of Jiang Yang thieves and heinous villains, the head catcher will think twice before issuing a killing order.
"Stand down, all of you."
Ye Feng had already sensed the seriousness of the situation, and before he could draw his knife and step forward, Ye Feng took the lead in asking Zhuang Ding to step back, put the purple sword on the table beside him, and came to the head catcher with his hands behind his back, and said: "Catch the head, my Ye family has lived in Wangu Town for decades, although it is inevitable that there will be small disputes with peers in business, but my Ye family has never violated the law of the country. And I, Ye Feng, am not a Jiangyang thief, nor am I a heinous criminal, and I have never killed innocents indiscriminately with human life. Now you don't have an arrest warrant in your hand, with a few arrests, you will arrest Ye Feng just by saying arrest me with one mouth, you are violating the law by doing this. ā
"Huh? Is there a violation of the law? It makes sense for the government to arrest you. You don't need to know now, when you get to the court, Lord Hou, the prefect of the Hou Mansion, will naturally let you die. The head catcher wrinkled his nose and stared extremely viciously.
Ye Feng's sword eyebrows suddenly frowned, and the arrogance that was already arrested aroused his anger, and said, "Catch the head, if you don't have an arrest warrant, I, Ye Feng, will not go with you." ā
"Not leaving? It's up to you. When someone came, the prisoner was shackled and splinted and taken to the court. Ye Feng, he dares to resist, kill! The head catcher didn't reason with Ye Feng at all, and directly waved his hand to arrest Ye Feng.
Ye Feng's eyes shrank suddenly, and before the nine catchers were approaching, his body turned suddenly, and he directly picked up the purple sword on the table and held it in front of him, staring at the catcher with eyes that could almost spew fire.
"Kill? You are such a great official, I'm afraid that the Hou Prefect Mansion in the government is inferior to you. ā
"Bold Ye Feng, do you dare to insult this catcher? Do you know who I am? The middle-aged headcatcher glared at him, pointed at Ye Feng and asked angrily.
Ye Feng smiled coldly and replied indifferently: "I don't know! āć
"What a fanatic. You pricked up your ears for me to hear clearly, the surname of this catcher is Hou Moqi, and he is the nephew of Hou Tianyuan and Hou Governor. ā
"Hou Moqi? Ha ha! It's really a human being, and it's inexplicable enough to do things. Ye Feng shook his head and sneered.
Ye Feng's ridicule suddenly made Hou Moqi, the head catcher, widen his eyes, and pulled out the saber on his waist with a bang.
"Be bold Ye Feng, obediently follow me back to the mansion, maybe you still have a glimmer of life. If you disobey the order, be careful that there is no whole body after death. ā
"Obediently go back to the mansion with you? What a joke. I haven't done anything to violate the king's law, so why should I go back to the palace with you? Ye Feng hugged his shoulders and didn't look at the big knife in the hand of Hou Moqi, the head catcher, just like the big knife didn't exist.
"Dare to pretend to be confused? That's it! When you go to the court, your own prefect asks you about your sins. I saw Hou Moqi suddenly take a step back, and at the same time waved his right hand holding the knife forward: "Take it!" ā
"Wait!" Ye Feng's eyes emitted two cold lights faintly, and he put the purple sword in his hand in front of him, looked at Hou Moqi with a gloomy face and said, "You and I will open the skylight and say something, why do you want to arrest me?" If there is a reason for me to surrender Ye Feng, I Ye Feng will be considered a man after living for fifteen years, so I will just abandon my sword and go with you. But if the reason makes me Ye Feng unconvinced, don't look at you as the head catcher of the government and I am a fifteen-year-old boy, it is not easy for you to take me away. ā
"Huh? You really don't cry when you don't see the coffin. Okay, okay, I'll make it clear to you. The Qingtian Lord of Wangu Town has already found out that you Ye Feng entered Xiong'er Mountain at night and killed Xiong Tianba, the leader of the evil bandits, and robbed Xiong'er Mountain of no less than 100,000 taels of gold and silver. ā
Ye Feng's eyes shrank suddenly, and he completely understood the intention of these ten people.
"Haha! I really came to think of it. Ye Feng turned around, put the purple sword on the table, put his hands behind his back with an indifferent expression, and said loudly after a moment of silence: "Governor Hou, don't hide it, I know you are also here." Aren't you planning to arrest Ye? Then come out. ā
Ye Feng's words were a little inexplicable, which made some onlookers scratch their heads, but when they fell into Hou Moqi's ears, it made his sturdy body shake suddenly.
Some of the onlookers were not the people of Wangu, and they came to Wangu Town for the treasures of the ancient family under the Tulong Hill. These people also don't know the Hou Tianyuan Hou Governor in Wangu Town, especially the Hou Governor is wearing civilian clothes, and these outsiders can't recognize it.
But as soon as Ye Feng's words fell, a laugh came from the crowd, and then a person walked out of the crowd.
This person had a big belly, walked straight at the waist and walked directly in front of Hou Moqi, staring at Ye Feng with a faint smile.
"Ye Feng, this mansion is here, why don't you just catch it? If you voluntarily surrender and pay taxes and money on time at your auction house in the public court, the government will also be punished lightly. If you Ye Feng dare to resist again, just because you embezzled dirty silver, I can report to the imperial court to raid your house. Which is more important, you ...... Think for yourself. ā
