Chapter 303: Arrest

A quarter of an hour later, a large number of government troops came over, and the one who led the team was Wu Ding.

He first asked the troops to surround the crowd, then came to Sun Sifu and bowed: "Captain Sun, where is the general?"

Sun Sifu clasped his fists and said, "The general has returned to the yamen. The general has an order to give these mobs who are disturbing the yamen. If the time has passed, they will be arrested! Now, a quarter of an hour has passed, and every quarter of an hour will be three drums, and General Wu Qian obeys the order and executes it."

Wu Ding looked at Mr. Liu in the front, as well as the women and children wearing mourning clothes in the crowd, and asked hesitantly: "Are you arrested them all?"

"Everyone who has not left!" Sun Sifu said expressionlessly.

Wu Ding nodded and asked, "Then, can I persuade them?" He felt a little guilty. He contacted the attack on the Liu family's farm, but he did not expect that the third brother of the Liu family was also in the farm and was killed by Tian Yong. So he wanted to persuade the Liu family so that he would not be in a moment of indignation and cause the whole family to suffer.

Sun Sifu said lightly: "Mr. Wu Qian is free."

After Wu Ding thanked Sun Sifu, he came to Mr. Liu and bowed: "Master Liu, you should take your family back first. It's not a good thing to carry the Third Master here. It's better to finish the funeral first and let the Third Master buried it."

"Don't think about it!" Master Liu roared: "He, Li Yan, must give me an explanation today! My son cannot die in vain! He said that there are no more thieves, but my farm was attacked again and again! How did he be a guerrilla general?! He wants to kneel down to apologize to my son! He wants to compensate my Liu family for the losses!"

Wu Ding advised: "Aren't you just arguing? When Gao Yuanheng was there before, your family was not often attacked by thieves? The reason why they were called thieves was that they were here today and would run there tomorrow. To be honest, after General Li came, there were much fewer thieves than before. This time the third master's affairs were just an accident."

"Accident?! It's light!" Mr. Liu smashed his crutch on the ground and said, "My Liu family is not easy to bully either! If he doesn't give me an explanation today, he will be waiting to be impeached!"

Wu Ding looked at the furious Master Liu helplessly, not knowing how to persuade the furious old man who lost his son to leave.

The drum sounds of "dong", "dong", "dong" sounded. Two quarters of an hour have passed.

Wu Ding came to the crowd behind and said to the eldest son of the Ye family inside: "Master Ye, don't follow him and go home quickly. You have also seen that the troops have come. If time passes, we have to take people."

Young Master Ye said dissatisfiedly: "I'm going to take someone?! I want to see who dares to take action?! Li Yan dereliction of duty first. If he dares to do anything, I will never agree!"

"Yes, I will never agree!" The young men from all families shouted excitedly. These people are all at the age of studying, some have already achieved fame and reputation, and are not afraid of trouble at all. They are all privileged groups. They don't have to kneel down when they see county magistrates, and they don't have to open a way to go abroad, and they can also walk far away with swords. If they encounter unfair things, they can curse in the street without scruples, and generally no government comes out to punish them. Even if they are punished, they don't have to beat the board. Just pay a little money to atone for their sins.

Wu Ding looked at these people helplessly, then shook his head and left. As for the people on the periphery, he did not persuade them at all. After all, people are of superiority and inferiority.

After a while, there was another drum sound. Wu Ding did not remind the people, but Li Yan's personal soldiers would remind them. They repeated Li Yan's orders loudly and asked the people at the yamen to leave immediately.

The people were most afraid of trouble. After seeing the surrounding soldiers, they dispersed for half. After the soldiers reminded them again, they basically left the yamen. However, the people also liked to watch the fun. They just retreated behind the soldiers, or climbed onto the roof, and continued to watch the fun.

The fourth drum sound was soon ringing, and half an hour had already arrived.

Wu Ding finally shouted loudly: "Everyone, leave here immediately now, otherwise we will get people!"

"Shut our third master!"

"Kneel down and apologize!"

"Compensize the losses!"

...

The people from the wealthy families who had not left continued to shout in a mess, not taking Wu Ding's words seriously at all.

Sun Sifu said lightly: "Clear the scene!"

Wu Ding was helpless and ordered: "Catch someone!"

Although the order was issued, the soldiers still had a natural awe of these aristocratic families and scholars, and they all shrank and did not dare to take action.

"Those who do not obey the orders will be twenty military sticks! The food and salary will be deducted for three months!" Sun Sifu shouted in dissatisfaction when he saw the soldiers not daring to move. This is the original official army that would be a little afraid of these aristocratic families. If they had newly recruited soldiers, they would never have such a timid situation.

With the call from Li Yan's personal soldiers, the soldiers finally stopped being slow. Between their fear of the wealthy family and their hunger, they could easily make a choice.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Ye." A sir came forward, grabbed Young Master Ye, and together with his soldiers, they began to tie them up with ropes.

Young Master Ye yelled with struggle: "I am a scholar! I have fame and honor! You can't arrest me! I want to submit a letter to the scholar-official master, I want to meet the magistrate Dong, and I want to meet the prefect Su!"

Some other scholars were also shouting loudly, but the soldiers did not give them any chance, but helped them all and blocked their mouths with things.

Mr. Liu looked at the soldiers and said angrily: "Is there any other king's law? What crime have we committed? Do you dare to arrest me in broad daylight?!"

Everyone from the Liu family surrounded, and the subordinates stood outside, protecting their master and coffin with their things in their hands.

The soldiers hesitated again. They just had to go up and arrest people when dealing with the scholars. However, these servants, there was a hospital guard in the middle, and some of the skills were not weak. If they were forced to arrest people, they might be killed.

Sun Sifu ordered loudly: "If anyone dares to resist, he will kill him!"

Wu Ding was also willing to do so at this time. Since Li Yan had already attacked the Liu family, would he still care about these servants and the guards? So he also ordered loudly: "Arrowers are ready! If there are those who resist, shoot and kill them immediately!"

At this time, Mr. Liu finally realized that he was afraid. He looked at the government troops outside in horror, as well as the archers who were ready to shoot arrows at any time. His servants and guards were also scared. Without Master Liu's clear order, the government troops rushed up were uniformed and tied up to help.

To those women, they were given some respect, and did not bind them, but just surrounded them.
