Chapter 44: Shocking news
Luo Yi did not return to Liujia Village that night, but spent the night in a mountain col. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
First, it is to avoid those officers and soldiers, so as not to lead the disaster to Liujia Village; The second is that it was too dark to walk at all, so I had to stop.
Lannie was lying on Luo Yi, but she slept soundly; Luo Yi leaned his back against the grass, and when he woke up, the grass was full of dew.
The sky is bright and the red sun is rising.
Luo Yi picked up Lanny and walked out of the col.
"Big brother...."
"You're awake, get down to the ground and go by yourself."
Putting Lanny down, Luo Yi shook his hand, and the feeling of paralysis suddenly dissipated.
Holding Lanny, the two came to the official road, looked left and right, and saw that there were no officers and soldiers, and then walked in the direction of Liujia Village.
After falling asleep last night, Luo Yi kept thinking, he always felt that something was wrong, if the officers and soldiers wanted to arrest people, would they still have to work so hard, just go directly to Liujia Village, why chase all the way?
Also, Liu Hua didn't know the road in Liujia Village, he could bring the officers and soldiers to Liujia Village, or send thugs to the door, what was that last night?
Wrong! Something is wrong anyway!
Could it be that he offended the officers and soldiers elsewhere?
Luo Yi thought about it carefully and confirmed that no, he had always followed the rules and had never done anything out of the ordinary.
Without saying a word all the way, the two returned to Liujia Village.
Passing through two woods, I came to the small river, the river water is clear, like a still water night pool, just like the current Liujia Village, all the way, I didn't see anyone.
After walking a little further, the two returned home.
Before coming to the villa, Luo Yi raised his eyes and saw that there was no figure of Yu Xiaoshu and others on the roof, and the courtyard door was also closed.
Confused, he pushed the door and entered the courtyard, and searched in the hall and on the second floor, but there was still no one, and Liu Laohan was not at home.
Luo Yi faintly felt that there was a hint of something wrong in his heart, even if Liu Laohan went out to work, then Yu Xiaoshu and the others should also be at home, because the second floor of the villa had not been built yet, so it was impossible to leave like this.
"Big brother, where's Daddy?"
Lannie asked as she searched the pantry, and ran out quickly.
Luo Yi looked in the courtyard and led Lanny to the second fat house.
Halfway through, the two bumped into Hu Ren.
Hu Ren looked anxious, and was running towards the river, when he saw Luo Yi, he hurriedly ran over: "Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi..." ”
"Uncle Hu Ren, what's wrong with you?"
Hu Ren hurriedly said: "Oh no, the government came to arrest people this morning and arrested all the villagers." ”
"What about my father?"
"I was also arrested."
Luo Yi was shocked, he finally knew why the village was so quiet, and it turned out that they all went to Chang'an Mansion.
What should come always comes, this is Liu Hua's big move, although he knows that sooner or later there will be such a day, but when this day really comes, Luo Yi's heart can't be calm.
When Lani heard that her father was also arrested, she was so anxious that she cried: "Big brother, Dad has been arrested, Dad has been arrested..." ”
"Lannie, don't cry, I'll take you to Daddy."
Luo Yi looked up at Hu Ren and said, "Uncle Hu Ren, you take care of the village, and I'll take Lannie to Chang'an Mansion." ”
"Xiao Yi, I'm just here to tell you, don't go to the Yamen, the officers and soldiers are looking for you everywhere, you're going, aren't you throwing yourself into the net?"
Hu Ren said anxiously.
The people in the village don't know how many times they have said this sentence, and Liu Laohan has also repeatedly asked him.
Luo Yi smiled and said, "Uncle Hu Ren, what are you talking about, the villagers are all in the mansion, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead, how can I hide; Besides, it was because of me, and I can't help but do it. ”
"Lannie, let's go, let's go to Chang'an Mansion."
"Hmm."
As he spoke, Luo Yi took Lanny in the direction of Chang'an.
Hu Ren couldn't stop him, so he could only sigh in place: "Alas... It's over, it seems that Liu Hua is right, he really can't run away. ”
After hesitating, he hurried to follow.
.........
Chang'an Mansion.
The county hall hall.
There were a lot of people gathered outside, all of whom came to see the excitement, crowded together, and the water around the gate of the government was impassable.
Early this morning, someone came to Chang'an Mansion to beat the drum, and the county ordered Wang Shilin to go to the hall to ask about the case.
In the hall, under the plaque hanging high by the mirror, Wang Shilin sat at the back of the desk, wearing a veil hat, a round-necked robe, and a cup of tea in his hand.
On both sides of the hall, there were two teams of officials holding the hall's mighty sticks, their faces were solemn, and their eyes were staring at the people in the hall without blinking.
The villagers of Liujia Village all knelt in the middle of the hall, and Yu Xiaoshu, and all the craftsmen who built the villa for Luo Yi, in total, no less than forty or fifty people, even if the hall was very large, it felt a little crowded now.
In addition to the kneeling man, there was also a man standing in the hall, very old, dressed in white, with a paper fan in his left hand and gauze in his right hand, obviously injured.
This person is Liu Hua!
Everything today was done by him, and the long-planned plan will be revealed today, and it is also the time for him to regain face.
Looking at the people in the hall, and then looking at his hanging right hand, he couldn't wait to send all the people in the hall to the entrance of the vegetable market, and it was best to cut off their heads together, which would be very happy.
As time passed, Liu Hua walked up to Wang Shilin with a frown, and whispered, "Uncle, why haven't you started yet." ”
"Are you all here?"
Wang Shilin took a sip of tea and put the teacup on the desk, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, listless, as if he hadn't woken up.
Liu Hua said: "There is still one person who has not arrived, but it doesn't matter, the little nephew has already sent someone to arrest him, you first convict these people in the hall and put them in a prison cell." ”
To say that Wang Shilin is really a confused county magistrate, he raised his eyes and saw that at this time he found that a large group of people kneeling in the hall had kneeling from inside the hall to outside the hall, and roughly estimated, there were at least fifty.
Wang Shilin was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "This... How do you get so many people? Is this a joke? ”
As Liu Dafu said a few days ago, if one or two people are convicted, it is nothing, and four or five people can barely accept it, but these more than 50 people, the matter is big!
"What about Xing Zhutou? Where is Xing Zhutou? ”
Wang Shilin raised his eyes and looked left and right.
A servant approached and said, "Master, Xing Zhutou went out on business and didn't come today." ”
Seeing that Wang Shilin seemed a little timid, Liu Hua hurriedly said: "Uncle, you don't have to worry, you don't have to protect me today, the case is handled in a serious and upright way, and I am a righteous nephew!" Straighten out! ”
"Really?"
Liu Hua nodded vigorously.
Wang Shilin breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and waved his hand: "Hehe... You said it earlier; Okay, you go back first, and I'll start asking questions. ”
As long as it's not Hu Lai, he is not afraid, if he really wants to wronged dozens of people, then even if the Liu family gives him more money, he will not dare, it is a matter of losing his head.
After being an official for a long time, he knows very well what money should be collected and what money should not be collected.
