74. It's not over
Wu Qingxi's face was also yellow, and he fell to the ground softly, and after a while, a stinking wet stain appeared under him.
Wu Sun also forgot the foul language, his face was pale and terrifying, his lips trembled, and he collapsed on the ground.
Wu Feihu, who was hiding in the crowd, saw that the momentum was not good, and he was short and quickly slipped away.
Xie Xuan glanced at the corner of his eyes, and only sneered in his heart, and he didn't break it.
Seeing that there were all the human and material evidence, and seeing that the punishment was so heavy, they were afraid that they would be implicated in themselves, so they retreated silently.
Wu Qingxi is their relative, but it is not worth offending the government for him, not to mention that he is not innocent, but really stealing other people's things.
Wu Qingshan, who was only happy for Wu Qingxi three times twice, blushed and said loudly: "I don't accept it!" Even if Qingxi really picked up his vegetable shed, where is the broken grass shed worth one hundred and twenty yuan? At most, it's only ten taels! How can you commit such a grave sin? ”
His father and mother were pulling at his clothes behind him with a anxious face, and he just didn't know.
Xie Xuan stared at Wu Qingshan curiously, only to see that he was five short and short, he was a swarthy and short man, although he was not mighty, but what he was doing now proved that he had come out for Wu Qingxi three times before, not to cover up Wu Qingxi, but to really not believe that Wu Qingxi was stealing.
Listening to Wu Qingshan's words, Wu Qingxi seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and wanted to stand up with a yellow face, but he couldn't get up with a weak leg, so he had to cried while slapping the ground:
"I was wrong! I'm useless! I can't afford to wear that padded jacket in winter, I shiver all day long, my Feihu's hungry eyes are green, I can't wait to swallow the bowl into my stomach, I was faint for a while, the ghost was confused, thinking of his Xie family's wealth, spending a lot of money to buy Zhuangzi, and selling vegetables to the county every day!
I couldn't sleep that night, so I wanted to go to his Xie family's grass shed to steal some vegetables to eat, who thought that the grass shed had nothing in it, and it had already been cut naked. I was cold, hungry, and angry, so I picked up the vegetable shed and slipped the iron kettle from the straw shed back with my hand......
But we can't do it, who will steal vegetables if our family wants to be able to eat? He Xie family is rich, why can't he tolerate me......"
Wu Sun's family also learned a little bit, no longer spilled, just blindly cried, and made a face that was originally greased and powdered with mud and soil, looking embarrassed and pitiful.
Xie Pingtian and Xie Ping'an were so angry that they couldn't wait to press Wu Qingxi to the ground and beat him up, what he said was as if he Wu Qingxi was desperate for stealing his food, and his family was not willing to steal it for him. In this way, the right and wrong are reversed, so that the Xie family is angry and the first Buddha ascends to heaven, and the second Buddha is born.
The surrounding crowd was buzzing like a swarm of summer flies.
"Wu Qingxi is also helpless, if he can eat and drink well, who would think of stealing?"
"Qingshan is right! Even if Wu Qingxi picks up his grass shed, where is it worth more than a hundred? ”
"Hanging, and let the two women and children be exiled for thousands of miles, the Xie family is going to kill them all......"
"I didn't expect that this Xie family would be ruthless, and it would be a ...... for the neighbors."
"Knowing people, knowing faces, not knowing ...... hearts"
Even the lieutenant chief and the elder said to Xie Qingshan reproachfully: "Qingshan, even if he Wu Qingxi picks up our vegetable shed, just let him pay a few taels, where will he provoke the officials to arrest people?" Also hanged and exiled? Isn't this a rush to kill them all? ”
Seeing that it was clear that their own family was in charge, the villagers stood on the Wu family's side, and the Xie family was even more anxious and angry.
Xie Xuan understood what these bystanders were thinking, and she just felt empathy for Wu Qingxi. After all, the villagers of Gangshang Village are not wealthy, and most of them have also experienced the situation described by Wu Qingxi that they are not full of food and clothing, and they can't sleep when they are hungry, but the Xie family has become a rich family with five hundred taels of Zhuangzi, and they are no longer in the same class.
People are not jealous of people who are much better than themselves, but they are jealous of those around them who were originally like them, but later they are better than themselves.
The Xie family was obviously the same mud legs as them before, why did they suddenly make a fortune? Why did his family get rich, and why didn't I get rich? Why was his family able to dig up a century-old shou wu, why am I so unlucky? If I'm lucky, wouldn't I be the one who has five hundred taels of Zhuangzi? Where is his turn to Xie Jia?
With such an unspeakable mind or subconscious, the villagers generally sympathized more with Wu Qingxi, who was closer to their situation, and did not care that in this theft case, the Xie family was the sufferer.
On the surface, this is a simple theft; In essence, it is the antagonism caused by different classes.
The Xie family has risen from the ordinary poor class to the rich class of the squires, and the Xie family obviously does not realize how different their family is from other farmers in the village, because they are so angry and angry when they are questioned by the neighbors who used to have a good relationship.
The change of thinking is not an overnight thing, and they need to understand it slowly, otherwise everything will be in vain. The most important thing at the moment is to give this confused case.
Xie Xuan didn't care about the discussions of the villagers, and handed the things that had already been prepared in his sleeve to Xie Qingshan. This is what she picked up when she first arrived in the village, which was originally used as a precaution, but it was used at this time.
Xie Qingshan looked down, his face was full of joy, and he raised a few notes in his hand and shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, if you don't believe that our shed is worth one hundred and twenty taels, just look at these deeds in my hand!" This is the supply contract signed by the six restaurants in the county, such as Zuixiao Building, Chunfeng Building, Taihe Building, Xinghua Village, Yunlai and Yuxing, and my family! It is enough to prove that my vegetable shed is worth one hundred and twenty taels! ”
After that, he handed the deed in his hand to the lieutenant chief, Zhou Qilao, and Ying Yiyuan Sun and watched.
I saw a few deeds written in the same way, "Xie Qingshan and others, Xie Qingshan, Gangshang Village, Linzhang County, Zhangde Prefecture, now Xie Qingshan, planted one acre of winter shed vegetables, and collected about 2,000 to 3,000 catties of shed vegetables for a stubble, and was willing to sell them to Zuixiaolou for one catty and 35 Wen." After the deed was agreed, the Xie family was not allowed to raise the price on the spot, and Zuixiaolou was not allowed to take the opportunity to lower the price. If there is a repentant, one is added to the penalty deed. The contract is a photo. ”
The year, month and day are written on the back of the deed, and Xie Qingshan is written as the head, Han Zhengye is the witness, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant is the end. The six deeds were issued in duplicate, with the Xie family and the six restaurants each holding one copy.
It turned out that the six restaurants were worried that there would be other restaurants and restaurants to buy shed vegetables from the Xie family, and the Xie family would have strange goods to live in, and the price would increase on the spot, so they asked for a deed to ensure that the Xie family would not increase the price. The Xie family was also worried that someone else would grow shed vegetables, and the restaurant took the opportunity to lower the price, and each had their own worries, so Han Zhengye testified, and the two parties signed a deed.
Xie Qingshan said with a bitter face: "Now that we have been picked up by him Wu Qingxi, where can we supply the vegetables of the six restaurants and sheds?" The deed clearly says that there are repentants, add one to the penalty deed, we borrowed the Zhuangzi before, and we were ready to rely on this vegetable shed to earn money and repay the money, but who knew that it was destroyed by him Wu Qingxi! When it comes to the deadline on the deed, if we can't deliver the goods, the six restaurants will compensate us, who will pay for the two or three hundred taels of silver? ”
