Chapter 168: Closing the Net
These days, Yan Guan has been a little flustered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There was nothing wrong with his body. Except for a rainy day the day before, the weather has been fine, and the work of the Salesian Bureau has been going well, so there is nothing that will disturb him.
But for some reason, he just couldn't sit still. Over time, this man simply lay on his stomach. He handed over all the work to be done to other people, and he himself was in a corner that was not very noticeable, and he hid leisurely.
If there's any difference between today's Salesian Bureau and what it used to be, it's popularity.
For a long time, the Salesian Bureau has been a place where grandmothers don't love and uncles don't love. The government has no time to take care of it, and the common people rarely come unless they have something, so sometimes he can't see a single person outside for a day.
These days are very different. I don't know if it's because the temperature is getting warmer, so people are willing to move, and there are always some raw or familiar faces who come here to visit, and they stay for more than half a day.
In this regard, strict management is somewhat vigilant. However, it was always calm outside, and there was no special news coming; After a long time, his tense heart relaxed. After all, in previous years, there were also cases where some sects would organize believers to come to places like the Salesian Bureau in batches to do good deeds, so there was nothing to make a fuss about.
What's more, there are some industrious and sympathetic people who will help with some work. There were not many laborers under Yan Guanshi, and those few people still complained all day long that the work was too heavy, and now that someone took the initiative to help, of course he couldn't ask for it.
A little wind blew, and he yawned, feeling very comfortable. There weren't too many days to "steal half a day", so he decided to enjoy the time and get some sleep first.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, a knock on the door disturbed his sleepiness.
There was a corner door behind him. Usually, this door is rarely opened; Moreover, everyone in the Salesian Bureau knows that once someone knocks on the door from here, it must be looking for a strict manager, so they will not care.
The steward pricked up his ears. The knock on the door paused for a while and then began again: three hurriedly, then two gentle; Finally, there were three more hurried sounds.
You can't go wrong!
He ran to the door in a hurry. I hurriedly opened the door, and there was no one in front of me; But there was a stone on the ground, and a letter was pressed under the stone.
looked around for a week, and there was no one around; The strict steward hurriedly picked up the letter paper and hid in the hall.
The moment the letter was opened, there was still some expectation and joy on the face of the strict steward. However, as his gaze slowly swept from right to left, his smile froze. In the end, his whole body was soaked with sweat, his hands trembled violently, and the letter paper in his hand fell to the ground like a goose feather.
Suddenly, his emotions spiraled out of control.
Half of the people in the courtyard heard the sound of wild laughter coming from the hall. Some were stunned, others were so frightened that they dodged to the side, and others ran over and pushed open the door.
As soon as the door opened, the strict steward shouted: "Don't come! ā
The person who came was the guy who had been busy. When he was yelled at like this, he immediately stopped; However, although he did not go on, he did not leave.
The light outside the door shone in, and the strict steward's consciousness also regained some clarity. He took a deep breath and said, "It's you, come in." ā
The little guy walked quickly to his side. The strict steward whispered a lot of words in his ear, as if he was explaining something.
The only thing he could do with a frightened face was to keep nodding his head.
At last, when all that had to be said was done, the little servant ran out of the house as if he had been pardoned. In the empty room, only the expressionless steward remained.
With a gloomy face, he looked like a dead man. After a long time, he raised his hand and lit the candle and placed the letter on the fire.
There was a fire in the house. It wasn't until the fire was about to burn that the steward threw the letter to the ground. Soon, the fire was extinguished; He swept the ashes aside, walked to the door, and slammed the door that hadn't been closed when he left.
It wasn't long before the outside of the Salesian House suddenly became noisy. The voice was a little strange, not only the shouts of the poor people, but also the cries and insults. After a while, the movement was much quieter, and it should have been a group of people who walked to the door, ready to get down to business.
It's not just the main entrance that's lively. There was some movement outside all the doors, and I think it was the people outside who surrounded the yard and didn't want to let one go.
"Officials handle cases, idlers avoid them! Brothers, if you meet someone in this courtyard, as long as it is taller than a broom, you will take it regardless of whether you are a man or a woman! ā
The leader shouted, and the rest agreed. A few seconds later, the gate slammed open, and a poor man stumbled into the courtyard; Despite his efforts to stop, he fell straight to the ground because of the force he had just exerted, and a sturdy dog gnawed on the mud.
Is it easy to present yourself in front of your leader? Grandma's, I knew that this door was not bolted at all, so I wouldn't kick the door!
Behind him, dozens of people poured in, including officials and ordinary people with tears on their faces; After a while, everyone had time to take a closer look at the situation in the yard, but at this glance, no one felt that there was anything wrong.
The children of the Salesian House were having a good time in the house. When they saw a large number of strangers entering, they were frightened, some of them went back to the house, and some of them hid under the wall in groups of three or five, looking at the intruders with small eyes.
If the official wants to take people, who will he take? There is not a single person here taller than a broom!
There were no Salesian people, and no innocent people came to help...... Could it be that the adults are hiding?
The leader snorted coldly and said, "That group of people must have been hiding in the house, search for me!" ā
Immediately, seven or eight people rushed to the house. Some red-eyed people also followed, but no one stopped them, which shows that they are not "idlers" in the mouth of officials.
After a while, a poor man ran to everyone panting, shook his head and said, "Big brother, I've searched all over the place, and there is no one to work, even the nurse has run away...... But in the hall, there is a ......"
At this he refused to say more, and his eyes were a little evasive.
The leader immediately understood what his subordinates meant. He strode to the door of the hall and kicked open the hidden door.
All that came into view was a corpse hanging from a beam of the house.
At the same time.
There was also a group of officers in the woods, and they instructed the people who came with them to dig hard, and soon there were many large pits in the ground.
Shao Ning kept clamoring on the side: "Here, yes, and there, all the remains and bones, at least more than thirty ......"
Under the constant urging of the poor people, the people also worked harder and harder. Soon, all the places where the bodies were alleged to contain the remains were dug up.
There are only four corpses that can be exhumed.
