Chapter 37: Behind the scenes
Following.
When Ye Hao came out of the back room with sleepy eyes and saw Xie Yunshu and Lin Bin, who were sitting at the opposite end of the marriage bed in the outhouse, they reacted to what happened last night.
By the way, there are still four brick thieves locked up in my house!
Glancing at Xie Yunshu, who was reclining against the head of the bed and sitting with his eyes closed, Ye Hao bit her lip and asked in a low voice:
"Are you awake?"
Xie Yunshu hadn't moved yet, but Lin Bin, who was sitting cross-legged at the end of the bed, opened his eyes first and looked at her with a clear expression.
Since the four brick thieves were locked up in the small firewood room, the two of them barely slept in the second half of the night, and each divided a piece of the bed to rest.
As martial arts practitioners, the two of them have very keen five senses, but they just close their eyes to recuperate, and they have a trace of attention to observe the information of the outside world.
Ye Hao didn't know this, she thought that a person with strong martial arts like Lin Bin was sleeping when he meditated, and smiled at each other apologetically.
"You get busy first, those people are more attentive and then make decisions."
At this time, Xie Yunshu also opened his eyes, his leg was injured, so he couldn't meditate like Lin Bin.
Hearing his words, Ye Hao nodded and immediately went to wash.
Maybe it was a little late yesterday, but she got up later than usual today.
As soon as the porridge was stewed on the stove, Ye Hao heard a knock on the door, and the person who sent the yellow eel and the snail came today.
She hurriedly opened the door, greeted the people into the courtyard, and began her daily morning work.
There were quite a few people who came today, about five or six, all of them women, and they began to talk as soon as they entered the door.
The sound of chirping wakes up some of those who are asleep and reminds them of their situation.
"Help! Let us out! β
Just as Ye Hao and the women were settling the results of today's battle, a terrible voice suddenly sounded from a corner of the courtyard, and it continued uninterruptedly.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was happening.
The women had no choice but to turn their eyes to Ye Hao, with a puzzled look in their eyes, but no one was hostile to her because of these screams.
After reacting to who made the sound, Ye Hao was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
I knew that she had asked Lin Bin to gag the mouths of these brick thieves!
This early in the morning, he howled a few times, as if he had done some murderous and arsonous acts.
"It's ......"
As soon as she opened her mouth, about to explain to the few people in front of her, a cold voice came from behind.
"Last night, a few brick thieves came to steal our green bricks again, and we caught them red-handed! Because it was late at night, we locked them in the wood-wood room, thinking that they should have woken up. β
Ye Hao looked back, and it was Xie Yunshu who spoke!
At this time, although his face was still a little unnatural, it was much better than the panicked look he faced in front of a group of women.
Behind him was the taciturn Lin Bin, and now that the wound is better, he often goes out and walks around.
I have to say that Lin Bin doesn't have Xie Yunshu's social phobia, look at how natural it is for him to go out for a walk!
After silently complaining in her heart, Ye Hao turned her head and nodded at the women, responding to Xie Yunshu's words.
The theft of the green bricks spread to the whole village yesterday, and everyone was still discussing how to find out this thief and vent his anger to Ye Hao's family!
Unexpectedly, the other party grabbed it by himself today, gossip is the nature of women, so they offered to interrogate those thieves.
Ye Hao has no opinion on this, Lin Bin completely follows her wishes.
As for Xie Yunshu, even if he had an opinion, in front of the angry women, he could only avoid his edge.
So, the group followed Ye Hao's steps and went in the direction of the small firewood house.
said to be a small firewood room, but it was actually a very cramped utility room, and the space inside barely squeezed four sitting thieves.
The door was pitifully small, and could only accommodate one person in and out.
Seeing this, Ye Hao hurriedly signaled Lin Bin to escort everyone out.
After receiving her instructions, I saw Lin Bin calmly picking up a man in one hand and throwing the person into the courtyard.
The four sturdy men didn't dare to come out, and as early as when they saw Lin Bin, they quickly shut up.
The place where they were kicked by the other party last night is still faintly painful, they are not outlaws, and they cherish their lives very much.
"These are the brick thieves? Why do I always feel familiar? β
"These people are definitely not from our village! Examine them well! Let them explain who instructed them! β
"That's right! How did this person come to our village to steal things? There must be something strange about this! β
At the sight of a few sluggish brick thieves, the women began to express their opinions, but the vicious look betrayed their feelings towards them.
Not only that, but some people went out and reported the incident to other villagers.
As soon as they saw that all the people around them were women, they had different thoughts and flatly denied their crimes.
"You are slandering! When did we steal bricks! β
The one who screamed the most fiercely was naturally the leading man, who had a more flexible brain than several others, so that he could take the leading position.
But even if he didn't admit it, the women on the spot didn't believe what he said, and scolded him.
Seeing the fierce quarrel between the two sides, Ye Hao smiled helplessly, but she really couldn't interject.
Thanks to the thieves who were tied hand and foot, otherwise they would have broken through the crowd and fled.
The more they scolded, the more panicked the brick thieves became, because they found that there were more and more people around them.
Now it's not just a few women who can only move their mouths, but the men with various farm tools in their hands are gradually revealed, and they look like they are eyeing each other, as if they will come up to give themselves a look in the next moment.
When the two sides were arguing, Ye Hao rubbed her eyebrows and looked at Lin Bin as if asking for help.
"Can you shut up a few of them? It's so noisy! β
As soon as she finished speaking, several thieves sitting on the ground screamed miserably, and they didn't have the strength to scold anymore.
No one even saw Lin Bin's movements clearly, only found a few people on the ground, each with an extra slap mark on their faces.
The crisp sound made the villagers stunned for a moment, and some of them were former military attachΓ©s and generals, and they had some kung fu in their hands.
In Lin Bin's comparison, they can only be ashamed of themselves.
The hot pain made several of the most ferocious thieves realize their situation, and they hurriedly silenced their grievances and did not dare to raise their heads.
"Mrs. Xie, these thieves are so brazen! If they don't punish them well, I'm afraid they will dare to come again! β
"Yes, yes! You have to teach them a lesson, otherwise you will think that our village is easy to bully! β
"I propose to take out one of their arms!"
Lin Bin's action did not arouse the disgust of the villagers, but he was even more excited to teach these brick thieves a hard lesson.
This village was gathered by a number of Han Chinese who had been exiled here, so naturally it was not like other local villages, where there was a presence such as a village chief.
Everyone gets along with each other as equals and harmoniously, and in the past, they have encountered provocations from people from other villages, and they have all returned it ruthlessly.
Although the villagers have no bad intentions and are very sincere and enthusiastic, after all, they are all characters who have been in the officialdom for many years, and they still have some temperament.
Listening to the people around him, the arms or legs of the wasted people at every turn, the expression on Ye Hao's face was a little stiff.
And a few brick thieves lying on the ground felt even more cold in their hearts, and couldn't help but start begging for mercy.
"Uncles, spare your life! It's all this Wang Hu who brought me over, and I don't want to steal bricks, please let me go! β
The first to beg for mercy was naturally the thin man who was scared to pee last night.
I saw him crying and kowtowing to everyone and begging for mercy, his face was full of snot, which was really hateful and pitiful.
"Grass! You! β
Wang Hu, who was betrayed, turned dark, and wanted to kick the man, but he was restrained by the rope tied to his body.
At this point, he was naturally flustered.
Wang Hu is not a vicious person, at most he has done things like stealing and robbing, and all his courage is used up when he scolds everyone.
Now when I heard everyone talking about wasting my hands and feet, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, so I simply broke the jar and confessed my actions.
"I stole the bricks! But I, too, was commanded! It was all instigated by my cousin Wang Mazi! β
When it was revealed that he had suffered, Wang Hu simply didn't do anything, and pulled his cousin who revealed the news to him into the water!
If it weren't for the other party saying that he had a channel to sell stolen goods to himself, how could he have traveled so far to steal a few bricks?!
"Who is Wang Er Mazi?"
This problem, not only Ye Hao's family, but even the villagers are confused, and they don't know who this person is at all.
As for Wang Hu, some people have the impression and recognize them as scoundrels who steal chickens and dogs all day long in nearby Xingnan Village and several other small villages.
These scoundrels usually have a bad reputation in their respective villages, and they have also beaten their village ideas, but after being beaten, they disappear without a trace.
This time, listening to the other party's words, someone actually instructed him?
"Could it be someone sent by Song An?"
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Hao thought that she hadn't offended anyone, so she tried to block her Song An before.
But Mrs. Wu had also assured her before that she had taught Song An a lesson, and the other party would not dare to trouble her again.
So what kind of character is this Wang Er Mazi?
For a moment, the atmosphere gradually fell silent.
Time passed quickly, and the carriage of the Moon Tower and the donkey convoy of the brick kiln had already rushed over.
"What's so busy?"
Seeing a group of villagers surrounding the courtyard, Steward Liu was stunned, and immediately approached curiously.
The villagers still had some impressions of this partner in the village, and took the initiative to make way for him.
It wasn't until he walked into the encirclement that he saw the specific situation inside.
"What is this?"
"Steward Liu?"
Seeing Steward Liu squeezing out of the crowd, Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly explained:
"I'm sorry, I've been delayed today."
She pointed to the four people on the ground, waved her hand helplessly, and explained the cause and effect of the incident.
After listening to her words, Steward Liu was quite curious and looked at the thief in front of him a few more times.
He hadn't heard of Wang Ermazi's name, so he really couldn't help it.
But for the disposal of these people, he has suggestions for Ye Hao.
"If you lynch them, it will inevitably fall into the mouth, and I am afraid that there will be hidden dangers in the future. It's better to be like this, I have people I know well in the county government, sue them to the government, and put dozens of boards, you can not only get angry, but also leave hidden dangers. β
Steward Liu knows the details of this village, everyone is basically homeless, and no one will make decisions for them.
If you come forward yourself, you can save some trouble.
