Chapter Seventy-Five: Bloodstained Justice
The night was deep, and the candles in the village chief's room were extinguished early, and even the snoring of the servants could be heard.
The victimized women also refused to leave, so the village chief took the family to go to a relative's house to borrow a house, and gave up the house, and the women crowded the floor.
"Village Chief, have you had enough medicine?" The man with the shovel asked, looking in the direction of the guest room.
The village chief said with a cold face: "Why is it not enough, the medicine at the bottom of the box has been taken out, you all have to be sharp, get rid of these people, and go and take the woman home." ”
Most of the people who were secretly ambushed were not afraid, but looked excited and excited, especially when they were hit by the board during the day, and they had to come to mix with the flowering buttocks.
There were also a few people who said that they were too bold to take action against the county order, but thinking that the county order looked like they were eager to tie them up in prison, they made up their minds again.
Instead of being taken to the county government to be imprisoned and boarded, it is better not to do two things.
Shiya Village is rugged, killing people and throwing them down the cliff, who knows their whereabouts.
The five errands who had descended the mountain had already been ambushed by the village chief, tied up at the entrance of the village, waiting to go on the road with their master.
The village chief took people, and the first thing he went to was the county order's house, the county order lived in a room alone, and when he opened the door, he saw that there were still files on the table, the quilt was bulging, and the moonlight was not clear and he couldn't see clearly.
Holding the fork high, the village chief showed ruthlessness, "County master, don't blame us for being unrighteous if you are unkind, don't accept the filial piety silver, then collect the incense paper money!" ”
The iron fork pierced the bedding, but no blood spilled out, and only straw was decisively pulled back.
Lifting the cover, there was no county order below, only a ball of straw.
The rest of the people had already divided their work and went to other rooms, and the voices that had succeeded as expected did not sound, only a few muffled sounds.
In an instant, the cold sweat of the village chief fell, he threw away the weapon in his hand, and ran out of the window regardless of the cover, taking advantage of the cover of night.
Outside the house, the torches were bright, Shan Tao and Du Yingqiu were in the same room, she was still holding a wooden spear in her hand, and on the ground were the villagers who were beaten down by her.
She penetrated the wall and found the village chief fleeing in a hurry, and before she could inform Du Yingqiu, she chased after her through the window with a wooden spear.
She was so young and light that the village chief didn't notice anyone following her for a moment, until an arrow grazed his ear and stuck it in the ground beneath his feet.
The stinging pain in his ears caused the village chief to cry out, and he fell to the ground holding his bleeding ears.
Shan Tao did not hesitate, and immediately stepped forward and aimed a sharp spearhead at the village chief's neck, "If you don't want to die, don't move." ”
Behind him, Sun Jishuang walked up quickly, subconsciously wanting to pull Shan Tao's arm, but he didn't care if he was avoided, and asked nervously, "Are you okay?" Why did you chase it out alone? ”
"I'm fine." Shan Tao didn't expect Sun Jishuang to come, and he was glad that he didn't show his spear skills in front of him just now, and glanced at the bow and arrow in his hand again, "Archery skills are good." ”
When Sun Jishuang heard this compliment, he rarely showed a trace of shame, and explained for some reason: "I used to be weak, and then I invited my master to practice martial arts, and I was a little rough and shallow, but I can still protect you......"
The bitter cries of the village chief were endless, and the two didn't chat a few words, and soon Wen County Ling also rushed over with people.
Seeing that the village chief was subdued by the two, Wen Xian Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and said helplessly: "How old are you two to dare to do such a dangerous thing." Come and tie up the village chief. ”
When the village chief saw that none of them looked like they had been drugged, he knew that the matter had been revealed, and he hoped that the adults would spare their lives, and said that he was coerced by the villagers.
"Do you know what the crime of murdering an official should be?" Wen Xian Ling naturally didn't believe his sophistry, and said with a smile: "The crime should be punished." ”
The group returned to the village chief's house, and the villagers who committed the crime had all been arrested and tied up in the courtyard by the officers, and the women who were victims looked indignant one by one, and spit on them from time to time.
Yu Tong, the daughter-in-law of the village chief, who was originally silent, also walked out of the house, looked at the village chief who was arrested, and slowly approached, "Official, I want to say a few words to him." ”
This time, Yu Tong contributed a lot, and she secretly dropped the medicine powder that the village chief wanted to order.
If you don't use a plan and let these villagers take action, the Wen County Order will also lack a charge to arrest them all.
At this time, these victim women were furious, and Wen County Ling also expressed his understanding, and he turned a blind eye to those who wanted to do it as long as it was not too much.
Yu Tong walked in front of the village chief, slowly squatted down, looked at the village chief's panicked pupils, and said word by word: "I said, you hurt my sister, I want you to pay for your blood debt." ”
A rusty knife suddenly slipped out of Yu Tong's cuff and stabbed sharply into the village chief's heart, and blood gushed instantly.
But in an instant, Yu Tong decisively slashed his neck with the knife and fell to the ground.
The sudden change startled everyone, and Shan Tao reacted first, tearing the hem of her skirt into a ball to press the wound on Yu Tong's neck, "Don't die...... You are all saved, live......"
But the wound was too big and too deep, and the blood was difficult to stop, and the brilliance in Yu Tong's eyes quickly dissipated, but when she was dying, she showed a gentle smile, "It's too late...... Thank you. ”
Blood soaked the sleeves of Shan Tao's clothes, and she stubbornly pressed the cloth ball in her hand until Yu Tong became cold.
Those women also seemed to be stirred at the heartstrings, and with the first whimper, more cries sounded one after another, Xu was revenge, and Xu was sorry for their fate.
Du Yingqiu also had tears in her eyes and hugged Shantao, "Tao Tao is good, let go......"
Later, Shan Danqing told Shan Tao that her sister was abducted to Shiya Village with Yu Tong and died at the hands of the village chief.
Yu Tong had already had the heart to burn with the village chief, but secretly helped the suffering women in the village, so he survived until now.
Escorting these villagers, the group waited until dawn to return to Cangjiang County, and Wen County ordered it to be dealt with strictly, and specially invited all the village chiefs under their jurisdiction to observe the punishment.
"The way of heaven is at ease in the hearts of the people, and justice is at ease with the law. No matter what the reason, those who disregard the dignity and life of others should be punished! ”
On the guillotine at the entrance of the vegetable market, the guillotine fell one by one, and the smell of blood did not dissipate for a long time.
None of the rescued women wanted to return home, and after thinking about it, Du Yingqiu finally stood up and gave them a place to return.
The Zhao family invested, Du Yingqiu came out with technology, and built a separate embroidery workshop, which was different from the high-end route of the Splendid Pavilion, and the cloth and clothing needed by the authoritarian civilians paid attention to a cost-effective price.
All those homeless women stayed in the embroidery workshop to work as embroiderers, and if the craftsmanship was really not good, they did logistics.
