Chapter 191: The Best Old Lady of the Farm (16)
Saved someone you shouldn't have saved?
Who could this be? Could it be some kind of bandit leader, a wanted criminal, but it shouldn't be! ”
When the old village chief heard this, he couldn't help but ponder.
Although he has not studied for a few years, nor has he been admitted to the Tongsheng examination, but in the end he has lived for sixty or seventy years, and what he has experienced has naturally become knowledge.
As far as he knows, even if he shields a wanted criminal or a bandit leader, it will be a few years in prison at most, or dozens of boards, or even exile.
There is absolutely no death penalty.
And it generally doesn't involve family members.
Not to mention uncles.
This situation is obviously not right, it is definitely not simply to save a person with little status, it is very likely to save a person who has committed a heinous crime, otherwise, it will never be like this.
"Village chief, I know some news, but I don't know if it's true or not, do you always want to hear it?"
They went out to inquire about the news together, and the one who had not spoken before suddenly asked in a low voice.
"What's the news? Say. ”
"I heard that it's a big deal, and it's related to the royal family.
Didn't the first emperor die more than a month ago? At that time, we also kept the national filial piety.
I heard people say that there was turmoil in the capital at that time, and no one knew which emperor passed the throne to, only that a few princes killed and fought in the capital, and finally the third prince ascended the throne, and half a month ago he also granted amnesty to the world.
But neither the eldest prince nor the fourth prince died.
Escaped with the old department.
Do you know who those people just came in? is the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, the big man of Zheng Sanpin, such a big man is dispatched, how can the person who wants to be arrested be a small person.
We can't afford to mess with this. ”
Although Mu Wei is a little unconcerned on weekdays, he has always had a good relationship with some officials in the county, so the gossip is also very wide, and what he said at this time is still credible.
"Hiss......"
The village chief and village elder who heard it at the scene couldn't help but gasp, and there was an older village elder who even shook his hands and feet involuntarily, looking as if he could faint at any time.
You can't blame everyone for being afraid.
These people usually have to be respectful even when they see the officials in the county government, and the county order and the like have not even seen their faces, at this time, they know that this matter is related to the royal family, how can they not be afraid and worried in their hearts, worried about whether this matter will implicate them.
For a long time, a village elder was busy saying:
"Village...... Chief!
Shall we exterminate their family? ”
Although it is unkind and righteous to do this, but he is too afraid, although they have not seen the bloody storm of the change of the throne with their own eyes, they have more or less heard of it, it has nothing to do with them before, naturally it doesn't matter, but now even if it is just a side, then they are very afraid.
Who is not afraid of death?
"Don't worry, we'll discuss this later.
Weizi, I know a lot of people, I still have a few taels of silver here, and then I will go to the county town to help investigate, I want to know more.
It's best to inquire about the three brothers of the Mu family.
Oh no, it's what the four brothers might say, and I'll come back and tell me if there's any news. ”
Although the village chief was also scared, since those Jinyi guards did not arrest the people of their village at the beginning, the possibility of implicating their village in the future would not be too great.
Besides, the Mu family brothers still have a mother who is an immortal master, maybe it won't be long before they will be rescued, or let go, of course, even if they are really beheaded, then they can wait for the four brothers to be beheaded before mentioning the matter of exterminating the clan, there is no need to be so anxious, anyway, the expulsion is a matter of saying a word in the clan, and the speed is very fast.
In short, the village chief now wants to not offend both sides, temporarily inaction, quietly waiting for the future development of the situation, if the situation is really bad and may implicate their village, then of course it is necessary to quickly and decisively remove the four brothers of the Mu family, and would rather risk offending the immortal master to get rid of the clan, if it is not implicated in their village, then it should not happen, and it is good to sell the immortal master at that time, so as not to offend the immortal master.
"Village Chief......
The other village elders on the side were a little anxious.
How can such a big thing be delayed.
If you don't draw a line now, you may not have a chance to draw it in the future.
Mu Wei didn't care, just smiled and took the silver handed to him by the village chief, and promised:
"Village chief, don't worry, I will carefully help inquire about the news, these few taels of silver are just enough to invite a few officials to have dinner and drink some wine.
When they are slightly drunk, I will find a way to get words from their mouths, and if there is new information, I will come back and tell them immediately, but we don't have to worry too much, I think the above means that I don't want to make a big deal about it, and I want to solve it secretly.
So there is never too much to implicate. ”
In this world, people always have advantages and disadvantages, some people don't look like good things, and they really don't do anything good, but there are still some advantages that are more or less lost, such as this Mu Wei, his sensitivity is quite good.
"Got it, let's go."
After speaking, the village chief turned to the village elder and said:
"I know everyone's worries, but since things haven't reached the point where we can't do anything about it, we don't need to do it so absolutely, and everyone has seen the power of that thing.
Let's see what happens.
Anyway, it's too late. ”
The village chief said that Qiao Mu gave him a large stack of rain charms, when Qiao Mu just left, there were indeed some rumors in the village, some people discussed whether the three brothers of the Mu family did not want to support the old mother of the family, and drove the old mother away, even if the village chief helped suppress it, the rumors were not stopped.
At that time, the village chief was not only worried that Qiao Mu would be angry, but also a little angry that his words would not work, so he specially called the village elders over and told them about the situation of Qiao Mu.
Since then, the village elders in the village have known about Qiao Mu, and they began to work together to help suppress the message, but because Qiao Mu asked him before leaving, he didn't publicize it.
Only know each other.
At this time, when I heard the village chief say this, I remembered that there was an immortal master in the Mu family, and I immediately felt that the village chief's suggestion was quite good, and they didn't want to offend the immortal master if it was not necessary.
When the village discussed that the next step would only be to inquire about the news and not do anything else, Qiao Mu finally rushed back within two hours, using a stack of shrinking land into inches, and did not return to the village, but directly followed the blood induction to Qingyun County and saw the changes in Qingyun County.
"The official spirit is very heavy, and there is still a dragon in the county prison, which seems to be a change of throne.
The rest of the family shouldn't have nothing to do with anything extra, so it can only be Mu Daya, alas, it's really a troublemaker. ”
