Chapter 34: False Accusations
The county lieutenant brought people to Brewing Creek Village to entangle him a few times, but Ge Xiaotong never gave him a good face.
The county lieutenant did not behave extremely viciously, seeing that Ge Xiaotong was really reluctant, he gradually died down. At least on the surface, there is no further entanglement.
However, Niu Dali, who saw this, was concerned about it.
What kind of person is the son of the county lieutenant? That is a big man who can walk sideways in the county seat! The county lieutenant is a serious official, a real figure of real power, and in the entire Huailin County, except for the county commander and the county commander, he is the biggest! In popular terms, he is the third-in-command of Huailin County!
The son of such a big man's family, it is not easy to meet each other, if you can hug his thighs, wouldn't the days of soaring are just around the corner?
So Niu Dali began to recommend himself, and began to find someone to connect with the county lieutenant, claiming that he had a way to make Ge Xiaotong change his mind and willingly become the concubine of the county lieutenant.
After the county lieutenant replied to the prince that he was willing to let him try, he began to plan to squeeze the Ge family brothers and sisters in Brewing Creek Village.
First, he found fault and said that Ge Xiaotong picked peaches sticking out of the wall in his yard when he passed by his house; then he said that his dog was missing, and some people saw his dog enter Ge's house and never came out, believing that their brother and sister had slaughtered his dog for meat...... Anyway, it's all kinds of false accusations.
In order to cooperate with his lies, Niu Dali organized a few gangsters in the neighborhood to steal in the village every now and then, and then took advantage of Ge Xiaotong's absence to quietly hide the stolen goods in the Ge family's house;
Gradually, the villagers alienated the Ge siblings. If it weren't for Ge Hongwen's pomp and circumstance when he sent the Ge family brothers and sisters here, and he also taught a few local bullies to establish their authority, I am afraid that these villagers would have driven his brothers and sisters out.
Originally, there was a local gang that seemed to have sent people to protect the Ge family brothers and sisters for a while, but after more than a year, the villagers never saw these people again.
People go tea and cool, it has always been like this.
Although the villagers are short-sighted, they can also see from these phenomena that something should have happened to the Ge family.
Therefore, when Niu Dali sometimes deliberately used very clumsy means to frame the Ge family brothers and sisters, no one stood up to say a fair word!
This is also Niu Dali's purpose, testing the bottom line of the villagers.
Their bottom line is that they don't have a bottom line.
Don't think that the mountain people are very simple, that is really an illusion. Poor mountains and bad waters, lack of food and clothing, the first thing people have to ensure is how to survive. In the harsh living environment, self-preservation is the most common code of conduct.
Such an atmosphere further indulged Niu Dali, and he felt that he could do whatever he wanted.
He made a trick that he had been preparing for a long time.
On this day, he was holding a crumpled note, claiming that it was an IOU from which Ge Zikang borrowed money from him. The amount indicated on the IOU was three hundred taels of silver. In the lower right corner of the IOU, "Borrower Ge Zikang" was written crookedly, and a red fingerprint was pressed.
This is a fake IOU full of loopholes, and anyone with a bit of rationality will see the strangeness in it.
First, Ge Zikang is very inconvenient to move, basically he never gets out of bed, he usually has to be fed by someone when he eats, and he can write IOUs with a pen? Not to mention that he is a person who can't take care of himself, what is the use of borrowing money?
Second, Niu Dali is a rural gangster, where did he get the three hundred taels of silver to lend to Ge Zikang?
However, it was such an IOU full of loopholes, which made Niu Dali stand on the moral high ground and made many verbal attacks on the Ge family brothers and sisters.
Seeing that the government had intervened, the few villagers who had been thinking a little bit about whether to help the Ge family brothers and sisters immediately retreated. The people do not fight with the officials, this is an ancient precept.
Now Ge Xiaotong is also at a loss. The official words are two-mouthed, and the black and white ones are not the ones who have the final say?
Niu Dali knew that the time was coming, so he openly and secretly bragged in front of the Ge family brothers and sisters about how powerful the county lieutenant son was, how he was able to reach the sky with his hands and eyes, and how this county lieutenant son fell in love with Ge Xiaotong at first sight, and his sincere heart was simply moving...... This implication is already very obvious: if you want to avoid Ge Zikang's imprisonment, then you Ge Xiaotong obediently obey the county lieutenant!
Today is the deadline that Niu Dali gave to the Ge family brothers and sisters. He had already said that if the brothers and sisters of the Ge family did not pay him back today, then they would report to the official and arrest Ge Zikang!
Ge Zikang's current physical condition, how can he withstand such a toss! I'm afraid that before the person arrives at the county office, his body will not be able to bear it! Saying that he is arrested is actually no different from letting him die!
"Brother, I figured it out. There is nothing wrong with this county lieutenant, not to mention that he is very good-looking, and his family has a lot of money, if I follow him, you will be his brother. He can still watch his brother sink into bed? He also wants to save face! So that you can also be well taken care of......
"Ge Xiaotong! If you dare to do this, don't call me brother again! It's true that my Ge Zikang is a wasted person, but my heart is not blind! What kind of person is that county lieutenant, I am like a mirror in my heart! If you ruin your life's happiness because of me, I might as well die now! If I die, I will be a hundred, and if I die, you can't bear so many responsibilities that you shouldn't bear!" Ge Zikang almost exerted all his strength, and roared after saying these words, after saying that, he couldn't lift his breath at all, and felt that he was going to suffocate in the next moment.
Ge Xiaotong hurriedly patted his chest for him, so that he could calm down.
"Zikang, my brother has come to see you...... How are you doing these days? The money is ready, right? If you're ready, give it to me, I'll have something to do later, and the county lieutenant told me to drink! Look at this...... How can I be a cow and a strong man, the county lieutenant actually looks up to me, then I definitely can't let the son wait for a long time!
"If you don't want money, you have a life! you can take it!" Although Ge Zikang's hands were trembling slightly, his expression seemed very calm.
"Yo, you're going to repay your debts! Then don't blame your brother for not being emotional! I'll tell you Ge Zikang, I'll go to the county seat now and bring someone to arrest you!" Niu Dali roared viciously.
"Who wants to arrest my junior brother?"
When Niu Dali was playing majestic in front of the Ge family brothers and sisters like dogs, a clear and quiet voice suddenly came from outside the door.
