Director Jiang was very satisfied with the current situation, and when the masses were most excited, he came forward to stop everyone's abuse, and drank away a few family members of girls who wanted to take the opportunity to beat Ji Xian'er.

"Ji girl, what else do you have to say now?" Village Chief Yan walked up to Ji Xian'er and asked coldly.

Ji Xian'er raised her head and looked at Village Chief Yan, her face full of tears. My eyes are a little swollen from crying. Rao is her usual sharp teeth, and now in this case, it is no problem, just said one. The word "I" doesn't know what to say to justify itself.

Village Chief Yan snorted coldly: "You don't have anything to say, right?" Hmph, you still have a little conscience." Then he waved to the side, and immediately two young men came forward, each holding a wooden stick with the thick mouth of a bowl.

Village Chief Yan nodded at the two of them, then turned to face the crowd and said loudly: "Big guy, listen, the girl of the Ji family has ruined the atmosphere of our village this time and committed adultery. ”

Fifty sticks?

Ji Xian'er's eyes were so big that she almost fainted. When she was a child, she saw with her own eyes that the three daughters of Yan Laoliu's family eloped with a People's Liberation Army who went camping in the mountains, and were finally caught and beaten with twenty sticks, so they were beaten alive with a lame leg, and then committed suicide by throwing themselves into a well not long after.

Thinking of the tragic situation of the third aunt Yan back then, her face turned extremely pale, she struggled desperately, and shouted for help in her mouth.

But after all, she was a woman, and she had already been tied hand and foot, and she was thrown onto a large wooden board without making a few fuss, and her hands and feet were wrapped with hemp rope a few times, and she couldn't move at all.

Although the villagers scolded quite happily just now, they heard that Ji Xian'er was going to be beaten with fifty sticks. It's all a big surprise. If this really continues, how can the Ji family girl still have a head alive? Some villagers who had received Ji Xian'er's favor stepped forward to intercede, to see if they could beat a few sticks less and just teach them a lesson. There are also some villagers who have a good relationship with the Ji family who bluntly said that this is a crime, and I hope that the village elder can show mercy.

Hearing this babbling intercession, Village Chief Yan became angry, his face darkened, and he shouted back to everyone: "What do you know, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules, this is the rule set by the ancestors of our old Yan family, who dares not to listen?" Go back, don't mess around here! Then he waved his hand at the two young men carrying sticks, "Hold her down and execute!" ”

"Yes, Second Uncle!"

The two Xiaoqing shrugged in unison, waving a wooden stick and about to hit Ji Xian'er.

Yes!!!

Before the stick fell, Ji Xian'er couldn't help but scream,

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At this moment, three gunshots in a row suddenly erupted, making the boiling ancestral hall quickly become quiet.

The two thugs were shocked, and as soon as the stick was halfway raised, they didn't know whether to continue to smash it down, and they were stunned on the spot in a funny posture.

"Who?"

Village Chief Yan was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes to the outside of the hall.

There was a rush of footsteps outside, and the villagers were in confusion, but they had to retreat to both sides, making way out of the middle.

After a while, a young man with a sven appearance rushed in, followed by seven or eight police officers in police uniforms.

Ji Xian'er, who was tied to the plank, had a buzzing in her ears, and looked back with difficulty.

only glanced at the leading Sven man, her head banged, tears brushed up, and she surged out again, shouting indiscriminately: "Husband, come and save me!" ”

Obviously, Ji Xian'er has no habit of recognizing her husband, and this man who is like a divine soldier descending from the sky is naturally Chen Yang.

As soon as Chen Yang stepped into this hall, he found Ji Xian'er who was firmly tied by a rope at first sight. His face immediately became gloomy. After a pause, he turned back to Director Tan who had just followed and said coldly: "Director Tan, listen carefully to me, and immediately send two comrades to seal the gate of the outer courtyard, and no one here tonight is allowed to go out!" ”

As soon as he put down his words, without waiting for Director Tan to react, he strode over to the plank, bent down to help Ji Xian'er loosen the tie.

Director Tan is a clever person, and they have not dealt with this kind of case of villagers setting up a private court, so how can there be a reason not to understand this posture at the moment. He couldn't help but feel a trace of joy in his heart, and said in his heart that the opportunity for meritorious service had come, so he hurriedly turned around and arranged it for the comrades behind him.

"Xiao Tan, why didn't you say hello when you came? .

Village Chief Yan stepped forward to greet Director Tan with a smile on his face, and his son Yan Wu was the deputy director of the Dawang Township Police Station and was Director Tan's subordinate. I've had a few drinks together before, so I know each other.

Director Tan was taken aback, when is it, you old boy still dare to recognize relatives. Hurriedly sank his face and cleared up the relationship: "What is Xiao Tan, call me Officer Tan." Also, immediately gather all the villagers involved in the illegal criminal detention for me

Village Chief Yan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the young man who was helping Ji Xian'er untie the rope, and felt a little bad in his heart.

Ji Xian'er was tied very strongly, and Chen Yang took a lot of effort to untie the seven or eight ropes on Ji Xian'er's body with the help of two comrades.

As soon as she got rid of the restraints, Ji Xian'er let out another wow, crying and throwing herself into Chen Yang's arms, her hands tightly wrapped around Chen Yang's waist, her face buried deep in Chen Yang's chest, and her whole body kept trembling, obviously afraid.

Although Chen Yang couldn't stop comforting her, he was also very tired. Only for a short time. The placket of his shirt was cut by Ji Xian'er's tears.

After Ji Xian'er's love stabilized a little, Chen Yang nodded at her and said, "Okay, it's okay, let me go first." "There are too many people here, and it's not a matter of letting Ji Xian'er hug her like this.

Ji Xian'er also knew that this was not good-looking, although she was very reluctant to let go, she still obediently let go of Chen Yang. But even so, she was still next to Chen Yang, dragging Chen Yang's pants with one hand, for fear that if she was far away, Chen Yang would disappear and the nightmare would befall her again.

Chen Yang smiled helplessly, but he couldn't do anything about her. had to turn around on the spot and call Director Tan.

Director Tan rushed over, and at the same time asked the police officers to escort Village Chief Yan and the main personnel involved in the case.

Chen Yang's eyes swept coldly towards everyone one by one, and the people involved in the case below invariably felt a chill in their hearts.

"Tell me, who allowed you to set up a private court? Who gave you the right to torture and interrogate a weak female stream in a reckless manner? In your eyes, are there any laws and regulations of the country? Do you think this is still in the old society? Chen Yang asked with a dark face.

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, and several of them quietly glanced at Village Chief Yan before they were glared back. It seems that Village Chief Yan does not understand the law, at least he still knows the truth that the law does not hold the public accountable.

"Don't speak, do you? Good! Chen Yang turned his head to look at Director Tan, "Director Tan, their behavior has violated the laws and regulations of the country, and you will take all these people back to the police station and lock them up one by one." Until the case is investigated

"Okay, Director Chen Tan is busy.

But as soon as the people involved in the case heard that they were going to be arrested, they immediately stopped doing it, crying and shouting and making noise.

Village Chief Yan was also scared in his heart. But at this time, he had to stand up, and said with a stiff neck: "This leader, the girl of the Ji family is still in good shape, you, why did you let the public security arrest us?" What evidence is there to prove that we have broken the law? Isn't that the reason why everyone said?

Village Chief Yan estimated that the Cultural Revolution would be a rebel and very good at inciting the masses. As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people involved in the case echoed one after another, and several people even lay on the ground.

Chen Yang snorted coldly: "Evidence? No, I don't need proof! It is you who need proof." After speaking, he looked at Director Tan, "Take them all back, if anyone dares to violently resist the law, the crime will be increased!" ”

Director Tan nodded again and again, and then quickly arranged it, and dragged them away directly on the spot.

However, Chen Yang still seemed to be angry, and as soon as the affairs in the hall were dealt with, he immediately pulled Ji Xian'er out of the hall.

glanced at the hundred or so villagers standing outside, and found that these villagers all lowered their heads and trembled, obviously the cruel words they left down in front of them frightened them.

For a while, the anger he rushed in just now subsided a lot, and after sighing, he said slowly: "Fellow villagers, I often hear Xian'er talk about it, she said that although her hometown is very remote and poor, the water in their mountains is very clear, the sky is also very blue, and the villagers are also very simple and kind. But see for yourselves, what did you just do? ”

The villagers were speechless and lowered their heads one by one.

Chen Yang continued: "You are indifferent and insensitive to watch an innocent woman tied to a wooden plank, waiting to be beaten to death with a stick. I don't know what your hearts are made of? I don't know what she is sorry for in your entire Sandungou Village?

Did you know? Three years ago, when there was a severe drought in the whole province of Jiangnan Province, she paid for the county to invite people to dig a few deep wells in the village, so that you didn't have to watch the sky to eat. Last year, the state issued a policy to ensure that every household in every village has access to electricity, and there is not enough support for the shortfall. But what about you, in addition to going to the township and county to ask for policies, relief, grievances and troubles. What else will you do? Have you touched your conscience and let the dogs eat it? ”

Chen Yang's words made the villagers feel embarrassed, and many people cried on the spot. Ji Xian'er was even more stunned, especially when she ran to ask for support, at that time she didn't know how many times she invited the officials of the county power supply bureau to eat. In the end, I paid 5,000 yuan to get the thing done. Where did Chen Yang hear about all these things?

Chen Yang said, pulled out Ji Xian'er, who had been hiding behind him, faced the villagers, and said loudly: "You all raise your heads for me, you raise your heads for me to see clearly, it is this woman who was almost beaten to death by you, she is an ordinary woman who has not even had a chance to finish high school, and she has used her hard-earned hard-earned money to do one good thing after another for your poor and backward village over the years."

I sue you, even if she kills people and arsons outside, and does all kinds of evil, it will not be your turn to judge her. You don't have the qualifications! ”

Chen Yang's words were loud.

All the villagers were stupid, stunned, and crying

And Ji Xian'er was also full of tears, looking up at the man beside her in a daze, but her hand subconsciously pulled Chen Yang tighter.
