Chapter 245: Uncovering the Truth
Xi Zien locked up Wu Mian and his mother, when Wu Mian appeared and when he was released.
Wu Mian's wife is old and does not act quickly, which is probably why Wu Mian did not take her away.
In fact, from the time when the village elder and the village chief pulled Wu Mian into the house for a deep talk, Wu Mian had already raised his guard, thinking that Li Jicai should be awake, otherwise how could they say such a thing to them?
After thousands of calculations, Wu Mian really didn't calculate that it would be his own people in the village who exposed him.
Up to now, Wu Mian regrets the most that he didn't solve Li Jicai.
As soon as the officers and soldiers entered the village, Wu Mian, who sought advantage and avoided disadvantage, rushed directly up the mountain, originally he was ready to stop everything on the mountain, and no one could find him when he ran to a hidden place on the mountain.
He couldn't take his wife away, so he could only run by himself, and then find a way to come back to pick him up. Wu Mian thought simply, he was able to steal Li Jicai out under the noses of the heavily guarded officers and soldiers, even if he stole someone again, what was this?
For the time being, he can only make his wife suffer a little.
However, what Wu Mian didn't expect was that Xi Zien was not soft-hearted, and let his wife stand in an empty and wide place during the day so that the whole village could see it, and at night he detained her wife.
Because Li Jicai told Xi Zien that she was stolen by Wu Mian, the process was inexplicable, and she couldn't figure out the method, and just looking at Wu Mian was able to transport her out of the city unconsciously, she also had the ability.
Based on this point, it was even more determined that Xi Zien wanted to capture Wu Mian's heart, but he wanted to see how powerful this person was.
In this way, after three days, he couldn't stand the torment of conscience, and his attempt to rescue his wife was unsuccessful. In the end, he chose to give up and continue to oppose the government and took the initiative to dedicate himself.
Even if he took the initiative to dedicate himself, he never felt that he had done anything wrong, and if it weren't for his wife in their hands, they wouldn't have dreamed of catching him.
When Wu Mian and his wife were tortured and dying, in the end, Wu Mian still appeared in the village.
It was also logical that he was caught by those officers and soldiers and sent to Xi Zien and Li Jicai, and at the same time, Wu Mian and his wife were also brought out.
Xi Zien didn't feel the slightest surprise when he heard Wu Mian come out, he knew that he would come out sooner or later. It just so happened that he also wanted to hear the matter openly and find out the ins and outs of the whole matter.
Although Li Jicai is still very weak, the doctor brought by Xi Zien with the army is very capable, and after the diagnosis and treatment of three times and five divided by two, Li Jicai became excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, which made Li Jicai a little scared, worried that this was a return to light.
When Xi Zien sent someone to tell her that Wu Mian had been automatically brought to the case and asked her to come to observe, Li Jicai was of course very happy, and she could finally ask Wu Mian what kind of grudge he had, or who he was hired for, and why he did this to her.
After Wu Mian was controlled, he was tied up by Wuhuada, and as usual, he was tied to the position at the entrance of the village. so that the whole village can watch.
Xi Zien confessed that every villager must be present to take a good look at this gangster, see what he has committed, and why he has been punished, which also shows his fairness and strictness.
To this day, everyone in the village knows that the identity of the woman brought back by Wu Mian is not simple, and she has offended the government, and they don't know the twists and turns.
And they never dreamed that what they heard and saw that afternoon would be so shocked for them.
"What's your name?" Xi Zien stood far away from Wu Mian and asked majestically.
Today's weather is very clear, the clouds are clean, the sky is clean as if washed by water, blue and far away, the cold breath is very refreshing, the sunlight seems to be covered by some transparent barrier, even if it is bright, but it does not feel how hot, the clothes are thin and only feel a little cold.
Lying on the mattress, Li Jicai, who was placed next to Xi Zien, glanced at Xi Zien, at the angle of her lying on her back, she could only see Xi Zien, she wanted people to help her up, but her helpless stiff back did not allow her to do this, Xi Zien was dressed very magnificently, and tried her best to show a serious and serious appearance, so that Li Jicai unconsciously thought of Qi Qingchu, but Qi Qingchu's demeanor and temperament seemed to be natural, not like Xi Zien's pretentiousness.
If it weren't for the fact that he knew what Xi Zi Eun looked like, it would be really difficult to connect him with his usual self.
Xi Zien secretly glanced at the expressions of the people around him, they were all sincerely frightened and worried, but when he lowered his head and swept to Li Jicai, who was obliquely down, he found that she was in a daze.
Wrapped in the gray village woman's robe, neglected hair, dirty scars on the neck, sallow face, how ordinary and lowly she looks, Xi Zien inexplicably dislikes it.
If it weren't for her, how could he have come to this ravine?
"Your Excellency asks you!" The person who escorted Wu Mian kicked Wu Mian fiercely, kicked him to the ground, pecked the mud in his mouth, and soon, blood flowed out.
Wu Mian, who knelt next to Wu Mian, his wife, had already been so frightened that she couldn't move, she had never been out of the mountain, and she had never seen the world.
Seeing his son being kicked down, Wu Mian and his wife were shocked and hurriedly pounced. Old tears, this, what is this!
"My lord! My lord! Wronged! My son brought this woman back to marry his daughter-in-law, and my son is not a bad person! "Wu Mian and his wife don't know anything about the whole thing, and what she said is what she knows.
Daughter-in-law? Xi Zien looked at Li Jicai suspiciously, a little inexplicable.
Li Jicai's ears are not deaf, when she heard Wu Mian and his wife say this, her mentality also collapsed, she was obviously tied up, how did she become a daughter-in-law?
Wu Mian didn't squeak beside him, he didn't even dare to look at his mother, nor did he dare to look at Li Jicai.
Xi Zien looked at Li Jicai and didn't speak, the subordinate next to him signaled, walked directly to Li Jicai's side, and then forcibly lifted Li Jicai up and replied. Li Jicai couldn't help but roll her eyes.
When she was helped up, she didn't know where to start.
"I was stolen." Li Jicai froze and said expressionlessly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was in an uproar.
Stolen? How could a good woman be stolen? That's a little weird.
Everybody you look at me, I look at you, whispering.
Wu Mian heard Li Jicai talking, her heart suddenly cooled half, she woke up, and now she can speak clearly.
It's over, it's all over.
Xi Zien was also surprised, and never thought that it would be like this.
"Oh? Let's take a closer look. Although Xi Zien felt very surprised, the expression on his face did not change, and asked Li Jicai to tell him more about the details.
"That night, I slept well, and I planned to leave for the capital the next day, but I didn't expect to wake up the next day, and found that I was not in the hotel bed, but was knocked unconscious, and I woke up all the way, and was brought here by Wu Mian." Li Jicai calmly recalled.
This is a confrontational process, and the parties' statements will obviously make people more credible, after all, Li Jicai is the victim party.
All the villagers looked at Li Jicai without blinking, they couldn't believe that this woman with such an appearance could have such an extraordinary identity, provoking such a large number of people from the government to go to the mountains to find it.
And the villagers were also very confused, why did Wu Mian steal this woman?
"Wu Mian." Xi Zien said.
Wu Mian didn't want to speak, but the officers and soldiers next to him pushed his wife as a warning, and Wu Mian had to bow his head on this point.
"Don't lie, I found out what you did in Jinzhou City before I came here." Xi Zien didn't want to delay too much, he just wanted to hit the nail on the head, expose Wu Mian's true face, and on the other hand, he could also establish his fair and strict image.
Wu Mian's heart was shocked, and when he met Xi Zien's eyes, it instantly seemed to penetrate his heart.
"Yes, I did steal it." Wu Mian admitted, at this moment, he had no choice.
The scene was quiet, and no one dared to come out. After all, the government wants to let the villagers in the village know that this matter is clear and clear, and the villagers also want to know the ins and outs of the matter, after all, Wu Mian is a person from their village, and he can't be arrested at will, even if they are afraid of the government, but the government can't arrest people casually.
"I was employed by a man, but I did not know the identity of the man, and he promised me that if I stole this woman, he would give me a large sum of money, and I took it for the sake of money.
I was going to send her to my employer when I stole her, but I didn't expect it to alarm the guards, so I had no choice but to flee the capital with her first, I thought you wouldn't find here. ”
In fact, Wu Mian once stole a lot of things in Jinzhou City, and every time someone reported to the official, but the government would look for it at the beginning, but there was no follow-up.
Therefore, in fact, Wumian was more or less lucky, he thought that as long as he escaped to the deep mountains and old forests, there would be no follow-up tracking, and he could successfully escape like the last time.
Wu Mian didn't dare to look at his mother's eyes, he could feel the disappointment and surprise that his mother had seen, if he had a choice, he would not be a thief.
"So, people will find you because you are a famous thief in Jinzhou City, right?" Xi Zien revealed without hesitation.
The villagers finally realized that it was no wonder that Wu Mian had suddenly made a fortune, and it turned out that he had become a thief. And the village chief stomped his feet angrily.
