Chapter 42: Sapper
The surrounding villagers all glared at her angrily when they heard Mrs. Xiong's scolding, and a few people in the village who often liked to scold also shouted and scolded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe scene was suddenly very noisy, and the village chief raised his hands and shouted: "Quiet, quiet." ā
Finally, after the voices around him were quiet, the village chief said to Mrs. Xiong: "Xiong~ Mrs. Xiong, let me ask you again what you saw that day, and why did you run today?" ā
Mrs. Xiong was being pressed by two men and knelt on the ground, and after she heard what the village chief said, she said "bah" and said: "You people are not annoyed to ask questions every day, I have already said that I saw Yu Dashu kill people that day!" What the hell is it to ask, huh! ā
The nine day sisters and brothers, who also got the news from the villagers in the morning, also hurried over from home, and heard Mrs. Xiong making a big noise from a distance.
Jiuri and his younger brother didn't move forward, and stood in the crowd to watch. Her eyes first swept over Mrs. Xiong, and after seeing her embarrassed appearance, she looked around, and finally saw Mrs. Xiong's luggage in the hands of a big man.
At this time, the village chief and the village elder also began to take turns to question Mrs. Xiong, and they said everything. After a while, someone threatened: "Mrs. Xiong, you are so obsessed, don't blame us for sending you into the ancestral hall." ā
After a while, someone said in a good voice: "Mrs. Xiong, why do you bother, everyone is from the same village, and now that something happens, we should help each other." ā
Someone else shouted: "This kind of old woman who cruelly kills the villagers should be sent to Shentang!" Sunken Pond! ā
At first, Mrs. Xiong was still very spineless and scolded the people around her, but after hearing more and more people shouting to sink her in the pond, she was also scared.
Seeing that Mrs. Xiong gritted her teeth and was silent, she finally stood up and asked with a depressed expression, "Why did Granny Xiong wronged my father?" My father and you don't have any deep hatred, did someone bribe you to do this? ā
As soon as the ninth day finished speaking, several village women who quarreled with Mrs. Xiong also echoed: "That's right! Who knows if this old pious woman has taken money from someone to wronged the tree! ā
A fat woman said mockingly: "Also~ I think maybe this old pious woman killed Feng Lan and blamed the big tree!" That's why I have to bite the big tree. ā
A man in his forties also said loudly: "Wait, maybe this old pious woman really took the money, otherwise where would she have the money and dare to run!" ā
As the topic was talked about by the villagers, everyone believed more and more in their hearts, thinking that he was wronged by Mrs. Xiong, and at this time, there were more and more people who scolded Mrs. Xiong.
After seeing her for nine days, the village chief walked up to her side and comforted her: "Xiaohua, don't you rest assured that the people in the village believe that Dashu will not kill people, isn't it?" ā
After hearing what the village chief said, the villagers who were discussing it immediately said, "Of course, the big tree will not do this." ā
"But this mother-in-law can harm the big tree at a time."
"I think maybe she did it, that's why I have to blame the big tree."
The village chief waved his hand again to quiet the noisy villagers, he walked up to Mrs. Xiong, sighed and said, "Lady Xiong, everyone has been in the same village for nearly twenty years, why bother to make trouble to this point!" As long as you are willing to tell the truth of the matter, I guarantee you as the village chief that you can continue to stay in the village after this incident. ā
Mrs. Xiong's expression was a little disapproving, but she thought about it carefully and said, "Okay, I said that day~I~ I hadn't seen Yu Dashu and them at all." That's it! ā
After Mrs. Xiong said this, the villagers cheered, and Yu Bao, the eldest son of the village chief, took the initiative to say: "Dad, I'll go and ask the messenger to come to the village now, and now he will be fine." ā
The village chief's face also looked much better, and he smiled and nodded in acquiescence to what the eldest son said.
It's a pity that it takes a lot of time to go back and forth from Yucun to Wuwei Town, so the village chief asked everyone to go back to do things first, and then there was news to inform everyone. In the end, the only ones left were the village chief, Mrs. Xiong, the nine day sisters and brothers, and a few village elders, who all sat at the village chief's house and waited.
And Yu Bao rushed all the way to Wuwei Town, and when he arrived in the city, he ran to the Yamen to find Yu Yuan as soon as possible. At this time, Yu Yuan had just come back from lunch outside, and as soon as he heard the news, he immediately called a few brothers to follow him and rushed to Yu Village.
By the time Yu Yuan saw Mrs. Xiong, it was already afternoon, and Yu Yuan asked Mrs. Xiong: "Mrs. Xiong, you asked the people in the village to tell me that there was a problem with the testimony you gave last time, what is going on?" What's the problem? ā
The old lady bear really showed her old face, and when she saw Yu Yuan and a few errand soldiers, she immediately threw herself at Yu Yuan's feet and cried: "My lord, my lord~ Save my old woman, the mud-legged people in the village have to force me to say that Yu Dashu is innocent." I don't say they're going to sink me! I'm all forced! ā
"You~" The village chief and several village elders on the side were so angry that they immediately stood up from their chairs.
The village chief also pointed at Mrs. Xiong and said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense about this shameless old pious woman? Don't listen to her nonsense. We felt that we didn't force her, it was she herself in front of the whole village, saying that she didn't see Yu Dashu and them at that time. ā
"Whew! Who is talking nonsense, if it weren't for you yelling at me to sink me in the pond, how could I have said that. Mrs. Xiong pulled Yu Yuan's trouser leg and retorted.
Yu Yuan frowned after hearing the argument between the two, and said solemnly: "Okay, village chief, I have to warn the people in your village, if you are forced, you can't testify." And you really forced her, if you say these words, it's a lie, if it's serious, don't blame me for asking my brothers to arrest you back. ā
"Did you hear that, bad old man!" Mrs. Xiong said with a smug face.
"But~" After the village chief heard Yu Yuan say this, he didn't care about what Mrs. Xiong said for a while, but said hesitantly: "But she~ Maybe she was bought." ā
"Bought it?" Yu Yuan said: "Do you have evidence?" ā
Jiuri saw that the village chief couldn't say anything when Yu Yuan asked, so he hurriedly stepped forward. She picked up the burden of Mrs. Bear on the table and said, "If she doesn't have a ghost in her heart, then why did she run this morning?" And the testimony that Mrs. Xiong said, we only asked her if we were skeptical. ā
After hearing this, Yu Yuan turned his gaze to Mrs. Xiong, and Mrs. Xiong was not afraid at all, but said eloquently: "Why can't I pack up my things, I just don't want to stay in this poor country!" Hum! ā
After hearing this, Jiu Ri was also so angry that he took a few deep breaths, and then deliberately ran towards Mrs. Xiong with an angry face, looking like he was going to fight with her. But Jiuri still carried the burden in her hand, and with a few waves of her hand, the burden spread out.
With a "clanging", Mrs. Xiong's money bag fell to the ground and made a sound, and Jiuri pretended not to know a corner and picked it up, and all of a sudden those silver dollars were scattered all over the ground.
"Ah~ Why is there so much money? Mrs. Xiong, where did you get so much money? Nine asked.
