Chapter 34: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
Xi Yan rubbed her nose and gave the three people who were tied together a sympathetic look, although Qiao Xuan was smiling and grinning on weekdays, she was not easy to mess with.
"Let us go! What are you tying us up here for? He Zhi grinned, his body constantly writhing and trying to break free.
"Just wait! It won't be long before someone will come to pick you up," Qiao Xuan chuckled, walked over and poked He Zhi's ugly face with a wicker.
He Zhi and Wang Xiong were stunned for a moment, a bad premonition rose in their hearts, and they hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" Make it clear! ”
Qiao Xuan: "Literally! Experience for yourself. ”
On the other side, the villagers of Taoyuan Village, who were tied up, were chattering and shouting, but Qiao Xuan turned a deaf ear and pulled Xi Yan and the two to lunch.
In the afternoon, Xi He came back with an ox cart, with a few officials.
The tied villagers in Taoyuan Village were shocked when they saw it, they just wanted to get the fifty yuan, they didn't want to eat a lawsuit!
"Village Chief Qiao, I was wrong! It's all from one village, no! We're just kidding you. ”
They changed their faces and shouted at Qiao Xuan with a flattering face.
Qiao Xuan walked towards the official messenger and didn't even give them a look.
He Zhi and Wang Xiong were completely panicked at this moment, because Qiao Xuan had just told them that someone would come to pick them up.
They knew that Qiao Xuan was settling accounts with them.
Although Xi Yan was a little afraid of the official errand, she still stepped forward and pulled Xi He's sleeve, and her eyes signaled that she had something to say to him.
The two siblings stepped aside and whispered a few words, Xi He glanced at He Zhi and them from time to time, his eyes were cold and dangerously dark.
"Miss Joe."
Xi He had already told the officials about the situation, and there was no need for Qiao Xuan to say anything more, and when she walked over, several officials greeted her respectfully.
Before I came, the county magistrate had ordered, and Miss Qiao was whatever she said, and she couldn't offend anyone.
"A few official brothers have worked hard!" Qiao Xuan took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and quietly stuffed them into the hands of the leader.
The eyes of several officials were full of joy, they were also workers, and they were naturally very happy to have additional income.
"Who is making trouble and interfering with the construction of the road by Village Chief Qiao? The lord ordered us to be taken to the yamen to be tortured. ”
The official who received the money made a loud voice, and the villagers of Taoyuan Village, who were frightened by a loud shout, trembled, and looked at Qiao Xuan's eyes full of pleading.
Qiao Xuan deliberately showed an evil smile at the group of people in Taoyuan Village, and nodded with satisfaction when he saw their scared looks.
"Just those three."
She pointed at He Zhi, Wang Xiong, and Lin Qi, "The Lord ordered us to repair the road quickly, we worked hard, these three people have to make trouble, isn't it a delay!" If the road is not repaired well, the adults will blame it......"
"Take people away!" The official who took the money waved his hand and ordered the people behind him to do it.
"The other people who are tied up are—"
Qiao Xuan glanced at the people in Taoyuan Village, "Them! They are very good people, and they have come to help the village build roads free of charge. ”
"They think that building roads is a matter for the village, and they are embarrassed to ask for wages, so they don't even want wages, and they are only dedicated to repairing the roads as soon as possible, right?"
People in Taoyuan Village: "......"
Can they say no? Obviously, no, whoever dares to say that it is not at this time will be in prison.
He smashed his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, what the village chief said is right, what the village chief said is right, we are here to build roads." ”
Xi Yan almost couldn't hold back her laughter, and shouted in her heart, she had to do this to them.
"They didn't pay attention to the matter of building the road, that is, they didn't take the orders of the adults in their eyes, and I hope that the officials and the big brother will report this matter to the adults in detail."
Xi He stepped forward and said solemnly.
The official nodded to indicate that he understood, "Take it away!" ”
"No! We are wronged, don't believe the words of Qiao Xuan, this little girl! ”
Lin Qi wanted to quibble for himself again, but a stinky rag was stuffed into his mouth, and then he was whipped on his leg.
"Let's go! "The official is not a good person to talk to, and he urged coldly.
After the official errand left.
"Oops! It's a pity," Xi Yan suddenly said with pity.
"What a pity?"
Qiao Xuan asked in wonder, didn't miss anything! She thought.
"It's all reported to the official, why don't you let the official take away all the troublemakers?" Xi Yan winked at Qiao Xuan and said meaningfully.
Qiao Xuan's eyes were dyed with a smile, "It's okay, it's not like you can only report to the official once, the county government is there......"
Saying that, she paused, and the conversation changed, "Everyone is confused, when they are impulsive, in order not to make trouble to the county master for a little mistake, I believe that everyone understands people and will change their ways." ”
People in Taoyuan Village: "......"
Okay, don't say it, they know it's for them, isn't it just work! As long as they don't get taken away to do some work, it's nothing.
"Xi He, untie everyone! It's not too early, we have to hurry up and get to work" Qiao Xuan glanced at Xi He, and then Xi He went up and untied the rope.
After Qiao Xuan's play of both soft and hard, everyone became honest, and after being untied, he obediently picked up the tools he brought and mixed them with others to start working.
"Poof~ha" Xi Yan couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't say it, your trick is really good." ”
Xi He didn't say much, silently walked to his food box and sat down and began to eat, the food was already cold, but his heart was warm.
Qiao Xuan smiled faintly, according to the temperament of the dog official, he would not easily spare the three people, and she avenged her for the revenge of the original owner.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing that Qiao Xuan was distracted, Xi Yan leaned over to Qiao Xuan and asked suspiciously.
"I'm wondering if those three people can come back alive," Qiao Xuan replied truthfully.
Xi Yan's expression froze, "It shouldn't be a crime to death, right?" ”
Qiao Xuan pursed his lips and was silent, Xi Yan didn't understand, what the original owner had lost was a life, a fresh life.
"When I went, the county government was holding a funeral in the backyard," Xi He took out a towel and wiped his mouth after eating, "When the dog official is in a bad mood, and because of your relationship, it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to come back healthily." ”
Xi Yan listened to it in a fog, but Qiao Xuan understood it all of a sudden, and then said indifferently: "What you owe must be returned after all." ”
Xi He let out an "um".
When Xi Yan told him that those three people were the ones who had left Qiao Xuan in the town in the first place, he only felt in his heart that they didn't need to come back, damn it!
With a wave of people joining, the speed of road construction in the afternoon is by leaps and bounds.
