Chapter 31: Detention pending trial
Because of this matter, Lao Sun took it all by himself, so in the end, he only took Lao Sun to the direction of the county office, Zhang Shuting was not at ease, so he followed on the side and walked in the direction of the county office.
At this time, riding horses in the direction of Kangjiazhuang to chase Kang Luo's men had not yet returned. The guy didn't come back, and of course the guy who sent the Kang Luo family back to Kangjiazhuang hasn't been chased back.
I listened to Zhang Shuting still explain to the old horse while walking. Urging the old horse to listen to him. Lao Sun was confused when he heard this, and he only thought that the thin woman was dead, and everyone secretly buried or hid the body in order to exonerate him.
Therefore, seeing that Zhang Shuting was trying to say good things to Lao Ma, the boss was not happy in his heart, so he said impatiently:
"The owner, when did you become such a mother-in-law, isn't it just a dead person, and I will end it if I pay for someone's life!?"
Lao Sun didn't say that, Zhang Shuting's original anger had already disappeared, and when he saw Lao Sun say this, the original anger towards Lao Sun came back again, and he couldn't help but say angrily:
"I said no, you have to listen to it, look at this Lou Zi stabbed!"
When the old horse heard it, he couldn't help but be happy:
"What did I say, there must be something here, and sure enough, there was something, and said that the guy sent the woman away? If so, why hasn't he been chased back yet? ”
Zhang Shuting was speechless for a while.
While speaking, the three of them had come to the county office.
Urging Lao Ma to beat the drum in front of the council hall, it didn't take much effort to see that Governor Wang Qintang, the people from the inspection center, and the secretary Xiao Zhang had arrived. They are clearly all waiting.
Wang Qintang came, with an angry look, and he didn't say hello when he saw Zhang Shuting. The secretary Xiao Zhang quickly spread the paper in front of the other square table, also with a serious expression.
When Zhang Shuting saw it, his heart "chuckled". I know it's really going to be a big deal. For a while, I was a little overwhelmed. And Lao Sun looked very calm.
Then, I saw Wang Qintang with a calm face, and as if urging Lao Ma to inquire about Zhang Shuting and the guys on the Runquanyong pot, he interrogated Lao Sun in detail one by one.
Lao Sun is also refreshing, asking one and saying one, asking two and saying two, and not hiding it.
But even if Lao Sun didn't hide it, he said that it was before he left in the morning, and what happened after he left, of course he didn't know, until this time, he thought that the thin woman must be dead.
But the part that he couldn't say was said again by Zhang Shuting.
After Zhang Shuting finished speaking, needless to say, Wang Qintang, Xiao Zhang and the people in the county office didn't believe it, and even Lao Sun didn't believe that the woman would still be alive.
In the middle of this, urging Lao Ma to pass the "Jishitang" Tan Langzhong at the corner of the street, proving that after the woman was carried to the "Jishitang", the person was indeed out of breath.
Therefore, Wang Qintang did not believe it even more. But he didn't dwell on this matter, but angrily slapped the table at Lao Sun and said:
"For a legend and a shadowless thing, you imprisoned a weak woman in a pot, do you know, you are committing a crime!"
After saying that, he said:
"When is it, it's all the Republic of China, how dare you still be kind to imprison others!"
Lao Sun did not argue, but said:
"I'll pay for her, I'll pay for her."
Wang Qintang waved his hand angrily again.
But because he couldn't wait for Kang Luo's to come, the case could not be continued. In the end, he had no choice but to throw Lao Sun into the west prison room on the west side of the county office to wait for trial.
Zhang Shuting saw that Lao Sun was taken away, and he also wanted to go to the West Prison with Lao Sun, urging Lao Ma to speak, but Lao Sun stopped and waved the iron chain in his hand impatiently:
"Dongjia, you also know that my grandson doesn't like you like this the most."
And again:
"One person does things and one person does it, my head has a big scar at the mouth of the bowl, there is nothing for you here, and I don't need you to be sad, go back quickly!"
After speaking, he walked to the west prison cell without looking back.
Zhang Shuting had no choice but to stop, but he burst into tears instantly.
It's just that Zhang Shuting didn't know that Kang Luo's and the guy in the shop who sent her back to her hometown had already had an accident at this time.
It is said that the shopkeeper sent Kang Luo's back to Kangjiazhuang in the deep mountains, and he was going to pass by a mountain pass. This mountain pass is also known as the Black Wind Mouth by the local mountain people.
However, speaking of this black outlet, just like its name, it does have its weirdness. The Black Wind Outlet is a large gentle slope sandwiched between two mountains. Whenever it is cloudy, rainy and windy, people or carriages will pass by the black wind pass, and people or carriages will go to the mountain pass on this side of the mountain pass, and you can always see that there is also a similar, but extremely tall person or carriage on the mountain pass. The closer a person or carriage travels to the pass, the larger the person or cart coming from the opposite direction. I don't know how many people who have encountered this phenomenon have been scared crazy and stupid.
Of course, it is said that in the deep mountains of Taihang, there are more than one mountain passes with this strange phenomenon.
The black tuyere they were going to walk was in the southeast and northwest directions. At that time, although it was already mid-afternoon, it was a beautiful breeze and sunshine in the sky, and of course there would be no strange phenomena in the legend.
I saw the shopkeeper whipping the horse, and the sedan car quickly went up to the southeast sunny slope. The horses on the pot are all fat and strong, and they are also very energetic when running.
I saw that the sedan car quickly ran up the sunny slope, reached the top of the slope, and quickly went down, rushing down to the northwest shady slope. Go down to the bottom of the slope, and go further, less than half an hour, it is Kangjiazhuang, the village where Kang Luo's family is located.
But as soon as the sedan car arrived at the bottom of the slope, I heard a sharp whistle suddenly sound from the miscellaneous trees on both sides of the slope, and then there was a "hulala" flashing out of many people, there were more than 30 people, and they all covered their faces, and each of them held a cold and shining steel knife in their hands.
Speaking of which, the shopkeeper who burned the pot in Runquanyong was also a person who often drove a carriage to walk outside, and when he saw this situation, he knew that he had encountered a mountain bandit. If it was in the past, when you encountered so many mountain bandits, there was only one way, and that was to pull the Kang Luo clan and abandon the car and escape. When I go back and tell the owner, the owner will not blame.
But at this time, he felt that it was inappropriate. I think it's inappropriate, or because he got this sedan chair carriage, which is dedicated to the daughters of the owner to go out, and it is also Zhang Shuting's father Zhang Genmao who spent a lot of money and made it with good wood, and he can't find a second one in Ansu City.
Therefore, the shopkeeper felt that he had just given up a good car to the mountain bandits, and he felt a little sorry for the owner.
Therefore, as soon as he saw the mountain bandits blocking the way, and then looked at this shopkeeper, he also "whew" and stood up from the wheel, spread his legs, firmly stepped on the wheels on both sides of the carriage with both feet, and firmly rested his waist on the top of the sedan chair behind him, and then, holding the horsewhip tightly with both hands, and in the blink of an eye, he waved it fiercely on the horse's ear.
Listening to the sound of "popping", the fat jujube red horse in the wheel also "slipped" a long howl, and then, as if startled, jumped forward like an arrow. looked at the shopkeeper again, but he didn't stop, still whipped the whip and pumped it fiercely on the horse.
At this time, looking at the 30-odd bandits, they didn't seem to be vegetarians, and when they saw the carriage rushing like arrows, they also rushed forward with the carriage.
When the shopkeeper saw it, he knew something was wrong, but he had no choice. Seeing that the mountain bandit rushed to the front in the blink of an eye, he slapped the mountain bandit on the head with a horsewhip. But where is the sharpness of his whip of steel? I saw that the bandit raised his steel knife to meet him, and the tip of his whip flew somewhere.
The shopkeeper raised the whip again, but the whip was only a bare rod. Look at these mountain bandits again, rushed to the sedan chair carriage, and "exhaled" to dodge around the horse's head, and jumped into the galloping carriage in the blink of an eye.
Immediately after, three or four steel horses were put on the neck of the shopkeeper at the same time.
