"Yes, Huang Xiangyi, Wen Jin is looking forward to the stars and the moon, waiting for your old man to come over to help."

"Hehe, I was busy a few days ago, didn't I come?"

Huang Xiangguan arranged people to inspect day and night, and the people of Dongshe Village were honest all of a sudden, and in three days, they were in a hurry to turn around - the pigs in the pigsty had nothing to eat.

On this day, Huang Xiangguan took people to prepare to leave: "Qian Wenjin, you said that someone stole your bean seedlings, we have been checking for three days, and it is not like that at all, we will go back, you are so self-conscious, don't sue again." ”

"Huang Township, what I said is true, you have also seen it, at least 20 acres of my bean land have been harmed."

Huang Xiangguan didn't care about Wen Jin at all, took a few Ding Zhuang, and left.

Shi Zhenzong comforted Wen Jin: "You have thousands of acres of land, twenty or thirty acres is nothing, if it's gone, it's gone, alas, it's really angry to meet such a neighbor." “

Wen Jin glared at Shi Zhenzong, turned around and went back.

In the second half of the night, a group of black shadows appeared at the head of the village, bowing their heads and tiptoeing westward.

These people also went too far, and when they entered Wen Jin's bean field, they actually held a sickle, just like cutting wheat, and soon it was a bean seedling.

Seeing that the cut was almost enough for a load, Gao Leizi coughed and stopped, so these people hurriedly bundled the bean seedlings, inserted the flat pole, jumped up and walked out.

When they come, they come from the field, and when they walk, they carry a heavy load, and they go on the path, otherwise the ground under their feet is very weak, and it is difficult to walk.

Suddenly, there was a "snap", mixed with a person's scream, and then, the crackling sound continued. It turned out that Wen Jin had a lot of bamboo bows and arrows here, the front end of this, there was a rope to pull, as soon as it was triggered, the back ones were launched, the bamboo arrows were not very powerful, and they could only cause some pain, but this gang of thieves didn't know what was going on for a while, and it was inevitable that they were in a hurry, and the people in ambush were not only a few catchers he brought, but also the people of Shiwei Village brought by Shi Zhenzong.

The torches were quickly lit, and the thieves who had left the path, hoping to break out of the ground, were also caught.

Huang Xiangguan saw the thief's face clearly, and his heart blossomed. The people he wanted to calculate, except for the family surnamed Li, the rest were all there.

More than a dozen families in Dongshe Village saw that the boy and child did not come back overnight, and at dawn, they immediately ran out to inquire about the news. I heard that I caught more than ten of them last night, and I was messed up all of a sudden.

Someone ran to Wen Jin to plead, they thought that Wen Jin had arrested him, this kind of thing, as long as the bitter master does not pursue it, the government will generally turn a blind eye, and there should be no such thing.

Wen Jin's gate was closed, and Wei Shisan, who helped feed the livestock, came from a breeding farm not far away and said to the visitor: "The little owner has gone home, but he is not there." ”

"So, where are the people of our family?" Several women and children cried and cried, and the noise made people's cochlear pain.

"I heard that the yamen caught the thief here yesterday and took it to the county government overnight."

When Liu Quanhan heard that these thieves had actually fed pigs with other people's bean seedlings and harmed twenty or thirty acres of land, he went to the court early, asked if it was the stolen goods, and arrested them on the spot, and immediately ordered that each of them be beaten with 20 boards first, and then sentenced to three years in prison.

Those who ran out to be thieves at night were all strong laborers in the family, running fast and energetic, waiting for the people of the East Society, helping the old and the young to the county seat, the news came out, this group of people was stunned all of a sudden, they had stolen for so many years, and they had been safe, they had long forgotten that they had to pay the price for being a thief.

The rules of the Jurong Dynasty, imprisonment, exile and other crimes can be ransomed with money, but how can the people of Dongshe Village come up with so much silver at home?

Wen Jin finally knew why someone dared to be a thief so unscrupulously, and the people of the Eastern Society didn't know what it meant to be shameless now.

In order to avoid trouble, she rushed back to the mountain nest on the evening of the day when the Huang Township officials launched, preparing to live for more than ten days, and helping Wei and Wang to pick this lotus pod and then go back, but she didn't expect that there were people from Dongshe Village who came to plead.

The person who came was a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and a little boy of five or six years old, crying and crying.

"I really can't go on, so I pulled out a few of your bean seedlings, Brother Qian, you raised your noble hand and spared my precious son-" The mother-in-law cried.

"It's useless to beg me for this now, I didn't arrest people, and I didn't sentence them, whether it's a prison or you ransom people with money, it's not something I can control, where can I release people?"

"Brother Qian, go to the county master to intercede, woo, you saved Shi Zhenzong back then."

There is such a shameless one, Wen Jin smiled angrily: "I intercede for the thief who stole me? Do you think I'm a fool? Now that I know that I am crying, why don't you stop the men of your family when they go to be thieves? ”

"We don't know!"

"Your pigs, what do they eat, I don't believe you don't know, get out!" Hearing Wen Jin shout out, Wang Chen, who had been watching the excitement on the side, picked up a big broom and patted it: "Kill you, shameless thief, kill ......"

The mother-in-law took the lead and ran out, and the daughter-in-law didn't care about her son, and soon ran to the front of the mother-in-law, the child was so frightened that she cried, Wang Chen was still angry, pulled the child, stared at the round eyes and said: "Little thief child, you remember, how can you live, just don't be a thief, do you hear?" ”

"I hear—" The child was so frightened that he even agreed, and forgot to cry.

Someone can ask for Wen Jin, and there is no shortage of people coming to the door where Zhao Li, the Huang Township official.

At first, the two of them were very tight-mouthed, and they didn't care about anything, they probably held it for more than ten days, and when they saw that the fire was almost over, one of Zhao Li's cousins revealed that his brother could do a little favor, that is, he could persuade the county magistrate to take money to atone for his sins.

The people of the East Society were dumbfounded when they heard it, and when they said it, it was still different? If they have money, they still have to go around begging for mercy?

Things stuck for a while, about a month later, there was a man named Li Heiwa, his father decided to sell all the land, ransom his son, and the family went to the uncle of Liangning Mansion, and since then, he has never returned.

This is also a way out, and some people are moved and start to think about selling land. The land of the Jin River Beach is already like a chicken rib, and it is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless, so I have to make up my mind. Huang Xiangguan and Zhao Li asked their relatives to come forward, coerced and lured, and took over all the land of more than a dozen families who were imprisoned. When the Jin River was diverted, there was no owner of this land, and the people who fled the famine could occupy as much as they wanted, and then there was a harvest, and the government paid the silver, and the land was registered in their own names, so the land here has a common feature, that is, the land is large, and the family often has a piece of land, often hundreds of acres.
