Chapter 1244 It’s better to block than to open up
She wished Ye Yuran was unlucky and walked very fast.
"Go this way."
"That old godly woman lives here."
"Sir, can we ask you something? What on earth did Aunt Zhu commit?"
…
This guy with a big mouth is also a weirdo. He was obviously scared to death of other people's government officials, but unexpectedly, his desire to see Ye Yuran's jokes got the better of him, and he actually started asking about it.
If anyone were here, they would probably want to cover their faces: Who gave you the courage? Liang Jingru?
If someone leads the way, it will go much faster.
Soon, the Zhu family's yard arrived.
"Is this Mrs. Zhu's house?"
A strange voice came from outside the courtyard wall.
Ye Yuran, Zhu Lizheng, Patriarch Qian, Patriarch Li and others who were talking now looked over at this voice.
What a good guy, he’s actually a government official?!
Zhu Lizheng's heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked at Ye Yuran.
Ye Yuran looked very calm and said: "Yes, I would like to ask these poor brothers, what's the matter?"
The leading Yamen servant looked her up and down: "Are you Aunt Zhu?"
"Yes, I am."
"Tie him up and take him away," the officer said immediately.
Ms. Li was shocked and quickly asked her sister-in-law to go next door to call someone.
She herself gathered around anxiously, wanting to find out what was going on and how everything was going so well, when the government officials suddenly came to kidnap her family members.
However, before she could speak, Ye Yuran spoke first.
"Wait a minute," Ye Yuran never thought that people would tie her up without even asking, "I didn't know it would be wrong, brother. Can you tell me what mistake I made and why I suddenly had to tie him up?"
people?"
For a moment, she was not sure why the government servant appeared here.
If it was because of that incident, did it mean that the big fish she wanted to "catch" came to her door?
"How do I know what mistake you made? Tell the county magistrate yourself." The yamen servant didn't have a good temper at all, so he had Ye Yuran tied up.
When Zhu Lizheng saw this, he felt a little panicked: They in Zhujiacun are still waiting to get rich from Aunt Zhu. Now that they have been kidnapped, what will they do in the future?
"Brother Cha, I am Li Zheng from Zhujiacun," he quickly stood up and said, "I used to go to the county government to handle matters. I wonder if you still remember me?"
The leading yamen officer glanced at him and said, "Well, I have an impression. What's the matter? What do you want to know about?"
In fact, he didn't remember Zhu Lizheng's face at all, but when he heard people say it was Lizheng, he was still willing to save more face.
After all, they still need help from other people to collect taxes and do corvee every year.
Otherwise, if you go from village to village and collect land from every household, you will die from exhaustion?
However, he still had to accept certain "benefits" that he should receive, otherwise it would be difficult to explain when he went back. With their little salary, they all hoped to make some "extra money" to live their lives.
The yamen servant raised his hand and rubbed his thumb and index finger in front of everyone.
What it means is self-evident.
Zhu Lizheng understood immediately, but he didn't bring any money when he went out, so he had to call Mrs. Li.
Everyone in Zhujia Village knows that among Ye Yuran's daughters-in-law, Li, who is in charge of business, is the richest.
The one she wants to "rescue" now is her mother-in-law, so she's willing to do it, right?
Although she felt distressed, Ms. Li went back to the house and took the money.
However, she had a bright mind and knew that it would be a bit uncomfortable to give it to others in such a dry manner while people in the whole yard looked at it, so she found a cloth bag and put it in it.
Such a bag was handed over to the yamen servant, and he shook it in his hand, and he knew it in his mind.
He was a little surprised: This Zhu family is quite generous?
Since others were generous, he stopped arresting Qiao and said, "Someone filed a complaint saying that Aunt Zhu killed someone, so I came to arrest her on the order of the county magistrate."
"What?!" Ms. Li panicked and said quickly, "How could my mother-in-law kill someone? She stayed at home every day and never went out. Who did she harm... Is there any misunderstanding in between?
"
Seeing that she was paying, the yamen officer gave her some face and said, "I don't know if there is a misunderstanding. Anyway, the county magistrate gave the order and we have to arrest people. If you feel you have any grievances, you have to go to the yamen and complain.
but……"
He paused and stood a little to the side, letting Zhu Lizheng and Li stand over.
Patriarch Qian and Patriarch Li wanted to go over and listen, but the officials looked at them and they didn't dare to move.
They were also flustered: Could it be that what that person said was true?
——The Qian father and son have really...
Looking at Ye Yuran, they both couldn't imagine it.
——Isn’t this old woman too cruel?
——You're so good, why do you do such a stupid thing?
——Even if Qian and his son are not human beings, they still have many ways to deal with them. Why should she dirty her hands?
——Now that’s it, have you confessed yourself inside?
The officer said to Zhu Lizheng and Li, "This cannot be spread outside, do you understand?"
Zhu Lizheng, Mrs. Li nodded quickly.
"When I came out, I heard someone say that someone used some 'force' on the county magistrate. I'm afraid you will suffer a loss in this lawsuit."
Li had never experienced anything like this before. Her heart was pounding and she couldn't make any decision at all. She looked at Zhu Lizheng eagerly, hoping that he could use more strength.
But what could Zhu Lizheng do? As soon as he heard that someone was using some "force" at the county magistrate, he felt bad.
Although I don't know who is plotting against Aunt Zhu secretly, I'm afraid the matter is in doubt.
The word "official" has two meanings. It makes sense to say it on the top and it makes sense to say it on the bottom.
People have exerted their "power" when they are officials, so what else can they ask for?
Li was helpless and could only speak by herself: "Is there really nothing you can do? Brother Chai, please help us think of a way. My mother-in-law is really a good person. She usually wouldn't even step on an ant to death. How could she possibly harm her?"
Dead person? Absolutely nothing..."
"It's not that you don't have it, it's about 'evidence'." Sympathy is sympathy. The Yamen servant didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but for the sake of money, he gave a few more pointers, "You understand 'evidence'"
?The county magistrate is acting in accordance with the law. They have 'evidence' that your mother-in-law harmed others. What can you do?"
“What ‘evidence’ do they have?”
"Witness."
"They saw my mother-in-law harming someone with their own eyes?!" Ms. Li was surprised, "How is this possible? My mother-in-law was really at home all the time. If any of them saw my mother-in-law harming someone, they can testify, and so can I.
I know best whether my mother-in-law is at home or not. Let me tell them..."
On the other side, Zhu Da, Zhu Er, Zhu Si, Zhu Wu and others were working hard when Liu suddenly came over to kill them.
They were shocked: "What?! The government servant came to our house?"
"Sister-in-law, are you mistaken?" Zhu Si asked quickly, "Who is my mother? How could she harm others?"
"Fourth brother, don't be impatient. Let your sister-in-law speak slowly..." Zhu Wu was also flustered, but he asked his sister-in-law to calm down and explain the matter quickly.
But Ms. Liu didn't know the situation at all. When she saw the government officials saying they wanted to arrest her mother-in-law, she was completely confused.
If Mrs. Li hadn't brought her over, she would have stayed there in a daze.
"Why are you asking? Hurry up and save your mother!" Zhu Da picked up the hoe and ran outside.
"Hey, brother, what are you doing? Don't be impulsive, that's a yamen servant..." When Zhu Wu saw it, he became anxious and hurriedly chased after him.
"What's wrong with the government officials? If you dare to arrest my mother, I'll knock them over with a hoe." Zhu Da said angrily and harshly.
"Brother, we don't know what's going on yet, so you can't be impatient..." Zhu Wu grabbed his arm, fearing that he would rush over and start "knocking" people without even asking about the situation.
At that time, everything that was fine may become troublesome!
