Chapter 48: The Threshing Floor
Zhong Yanze and Cao He went out to the threshing floor first, and Jiang Yun was about to go out, when a middle-aged village woman suddenly rushed over, threw herself in front of him, and shouted: "Boss, you can't do so much, you can't take back my family's land......"
Jiang Yun saw that the other party was Wang Tiezhu's old lady Zhu, and immediately understood in his heart what was going on, so he immediately stepped forward, pulled the other party up and said, "Aunt Zhu, what's the matter, get up and talk first." ”
Zhu Shi leaned on the ground and refused to get up, and shouted in his mouth: "I heard that the owner wants to take back my family's land, this is to force people to death, this is no way to live, if the owner does not take back his life, I will die here today and will not get up!"
Her shouting attracted a large group of villagers to gather in front of the Jiang family's house, pointing and discussing.
The repossession of the land by the tenants is undoubtedly a major event, and everyone is concerned about it, and most of them have sympathy for Wang Tiezhu's family, and they have accused Jiang Yun of going too far.
"Aunt Zhu, there is something to discuss, you get up and talk first, I beg you. Jiang Yun has a feeling of being pointed out by Qianfu at this moment, promoting the evil landlord and old wealth of the old society, which is really bad.
"There is nothing to discuss about this matter, I will leave my words here today, if the owner does not take back his life, I will die here today and will not be able to get up!" Zhu continued to kneel on the ground and roll around.
Encountering this situation, Jiang Yun was also a little confused, rubbing his hands again and again, not knowing what to do.
Hearing the noise outside, Wang Xiulian, who was busy inside, walked out, listened to it for a while, and after understanding the general reason for the matter, she stepped forward, frowned slightly and said to Jiang Yun: "Dongjia, you have done too reckless in this matter." ”
Jiang Yun was stunned and said: "Yes, I want to take back his family's land, that Wang Tiezhu was also very tough at that time, and I didn't see him complain about anything at that time." ”
Wang Xiulian shook her head, feeling that this owner is still too little to do, this field is the lifeblood of the farmer, if you want to take back the field, it doesn't mean that you want their lives, can people not be anxious, Wang Tiezhu didn't say anything at the time, it was just a duck with a hard beak that he cooked.
She persuaded: "The owner, what did Wang Tiezhu do just now to make the owner want to take back his family's land? If it wasn't a big deal, the owner might as well forgive him once and let him come to apologize." ”
Jiang Yun didn't expect this matter to look so serious, and Ai Ai said: "I originally thought that Wang Tiezhu didn't want to do it himself, so he would break up and everyone would be fine, so I took back his field, but I didn't expect it to ......."
Wang Xiulian shook her head when she heard this, and secretly said that the other party still had little to do, and she didn't understand the world, so she said: "The owner is wrong, how can there be a reason why a farmer is willing to push out the land he has worked so hard to plant, even if Wang Tiezhu said so, it is just a lip service, and it can't be true, since it was a misunderstanding, or the owner would take back his life, so as not to make things even more inextricable." ”
Jiang Yun looked at Zhu, who was still rolling on the ground, and nodded helplessly.
Wang Xiulian walked over and helped Zhu up and said, "Auntie, the owner has promised not to take back your family's land, so you can get up." ”
The Zhu family on the ground stopped crying, raised his head to look at Jiang Yun, and said with a blank eye: "Dongjia, Xiulian, what she said is true, you will no longer take back my family's land?"
Jiang Yun hummed and nodded, and the Zhu family happily got up from the ground and said to Jiang Yun vigorously: "Thank you to the owner, thank you to the owner, the owner is a benevolent and righteous person." ”
Jiang Yun said with a cold face: "Don't thank me first, tell you the truth, Gu Bo This matter, he Wang Tiezhu can't get rid of suspicion, if it is proved afterwards that he did this matter, then your family's land still has to be recovered." ”
Zhu Shi was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, this matter will not be done by Tiezhu, it will not be done by him, you can't just wronged people." ”
Jiang Yun snorted, ignored her, and walked straight to the threshing floor at the west end of the village.
At this time, a large group of people had gathered around the threshing floor, and all the young men in the village were already standing in front of the threshing floor, waiting in a long line, waiting to inspect the footprints.
Watching the excitement on the side, there were old people, women, children, everyone didn't take this too seriously, and those children were shuttling between the crowd in twos and threes, giggling and laughing, and they were stunned to turn a serious inquest into a place for the murderer.
"Silence!
Zhong Yanze shouted a few times in a row, and the adults began to restrain the children around them, and the noisy threshing floor quieted down a little.
Zhong Yanze turned his head and asked Zhu Yougui next to him, Zhong Jin and the two: "Household Chief Zhu, Household Chief Zhong, have all the young people in the village arrived?" ”
Zhu Yougui patted his chest and promised: "Back to the hometown, all the young people in the village are here, there are many of them, if there is one less, you can ask me." ”
"Let's get started, one by one. Zhong Yanze said.
The whole village lined up and began to walk forward one by one to be inspected. The process of the inspection is very simple, in front of the threshing floor, a pile of sand was piled up, and the young man who took his turn walked to the side of the sand pile, stepped on the sand pile, and left his own footprints.
Of course, it has now been determined that one of the three suspected murderer footprints is Wang Tiezhu, so now only the other two suspected murderer footprints need to be compared.
Jiang Yun stood beside him, watching quietly, and did not express any opinions. He was very skeptical about the effect of this inquest process, but in addition, he couldn't think of any better way to find the murderer, and he knew that Zhong Yanze and Cao He made such a big move, which was also a shock to the villagers.
In the whole Shahe Village, there are about 70 families and more than 300 people, among which there are nearly 100 young and strong people, and it takes a lot of time to come one by one.
"Hirakawa, Hirakawa-"
Jiang Yun was watching the inquest process here, when he heard a few familiar shouts in his ears.
Pingchuan is his word, in the village, most of the villagers call him Brother Jiang, and most of his tenants call him Dongjia, almost no one calls him Pingchuan, and there is basically only one possibility to call him Pingchuan, which is his classmate in Qinghe Academy.
And when he heard that somewhat familiar voice, he didn't have to look back, he already knew who was coming.
turned around, and sure enough, I saw two students Shi Shiran with a square scarf on his head and wearing a long shirt striding over to this side, wasn't it the two fox friends and dog friends he was in Qinghe Academy, who were Yan Zheng and Zhou Shimin.
Why did the two of them come here, the arrival of the two of them at this moment, Jiang Yun was somewhat surprised.
The arrival of Yan Zheng and Zhou Shimin also attracted the attention of the villagers next to them, and many people's eyes fell on the two who strode over.
Yan Zheng and Zhou Shimin also came to Shahe Village for the first time, the two first asked for directions and went to Jiang Yun's house, but they didn't see Jiang Yun at Jiang's house, and they knew that the other party was in the threshing floor in the west of the village, so they looked for it again.
"Hirakawa, I've found you!" the two strode over and greeted each other in a loud voice.
Jiang Yun helplessly stepped forward and asked, "How did the two brothers find here, could it be that there is something going on in the academy?"
Yan Zheng snorted and said, "It's nothing, but I saw that you were in a hurry in Pingchuan this morning, and it seems that something happened at home, so I came over to see if there is anything I need help with." ”
"You're caring. Jiang Yun said without being salty or light.
Yan Zheng patted his chest and said: "We already know about the housekeeper Gu Bo in your family, this kind of thing happens, it is really infuriating, we must arrest the murderer as soon as possible and punish him severely! Pingchuan, if there is anything you need help, just say it, we are duty-bound!"
His words were so loud that the surrounding villagers heard them, and many villagers looked at them with a little strangeness, as if they didn't expect that Jiang Yun was in the academy and there were such enthusiastic and helpful classmates.
Among them, Zhong Yanze, Cao He, Zhu Yougui, Zhong Jin and others looked at them, and their eyes were a little unusual, because they had already seen that Yan Zheng was wearing a very formal child's shirt at the moment, which showed that the other party was a famous child.
I didn't expect that this kid of the Jiang family could have a classmate and friend of Tongsheng, and these people didn't know the details of this strict government for a while, so they were a little suspicious in their hearts.
In fact, Yan Zheng and Zhou Shimin suddenly came to Shahe Village at this moment, Jiang Yun had already understood, but he didn't say anything, he just said: "Brother Yan, your intentions, the younger brother understands it, but this matter is naturally handled by the villagers in the township, but there is no need for the help of the two of them." ”
Yan Zheng raised his head and looked around, and asked again, "What are so many people doing?" ”
Jiang Yun explained to him simply, Yan Zheng understood, and immediately walked over, and came to Zhong Yanze and Cao He, who were inspecting the footprints of young people in the village, and bowed and said: "The two village elders, Yan Zheng, who is a child in Xiaqinghe Academy, is polite." ”
Seeing his serious salute, Zhong Yanze and Cao He, the two village elders, didn't know the details of the other party, and they didn't dare to hold it up, so they hurriedly got up and returned the salute, saying: "It turned out to be Yan Gongzi, disrespectful, disrespectful!"
Zhu Yougui also stepped forward at this time, and saluted: "Yan Gongzi, Zhu Yougui is under Zhu Yougui, and he is the head of the village, and Zhu Ming, the dog, is also studying in the academy, I don't know if Yan Gongzi can recognize him?"
"Zhu Ming, of course I know, and he is also a classmate of Xige. At this time, Zhou Shimin stepped forward and said loudly.
"I see, then everyone is not an outsider, hehe. Zhu Yougui said with a smile.
