Pulling these people, Ye Chuqiu entered the village. Under the eyes of everyone pointing, he walked forward without looking away, and went straight to the village, and came to Zhang Huaiyuan's house.
"Who?"
The eldest lady opened the door, and the moment she saw Ye Chuqiu, she immediately went into the house as if she had seen the god of plague, "Old man, I'm looking for you."
Zhang Lichang walked out slowly and was stunned for a moment when he saw it was Ye Chuqiu, "What are you doing here?"
"I will capture Wu Ming and the others and leave them to you, the chief, to deal with them."
Ye Chuqiu said, pulling the rope and bringing Wu Ming and the others over. She walked forward and handed the rope to Zhang Huaiyuan's hand, "If there are victims in the village, they should be beaten or punished. It is up to you to deal with them."
.”
After that, she turned around and left with her two children.
The village leader looked at the rope in his hand and was stunned for a moment. The villagers who had long been attracted by Ye Chuqiu's feat looked at her back and started talking about her.
As soon as Ye Chuqiu and the others left, their eyes fell on Wu Ming and the others. In the crowd, a woman ran forward and beat and kicked Wu Ming and the others, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Someone in the village asked her, but she just cried and said that Wu Ming and his wife had robbed the couple, and did not mention anything else.
Although the others had not been bullied by Wu Ming and the others, they hated this kind of bandits the most. They all started to criticize and made filthy words. For a while, Wu Ming and the others were shouted and beaten by everyone, and it was terrible to watch.
"She did give me a problem."
The village chief looked at the people in the yard and felt a little embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he asked his son to call the elders in the village to discuss it. Then he found two young adults and took them to the woodshed in the backyard and locked them up.
stand up.
"Everyone, what do you think should be done with these people? Should we report them to the official or what should we do?" the village chief asked several elders in the village.
"It would be too troublesome to report it to the official."
One of the old men said: "The village's affairs should be decided by the village. Lin Ye is also a villager. Since she said that these people are at our disposal, we can do whatever we want."
"That's right, those people in the government are just here with the locusts. If you get involved with them, you will be cut off. You will be questioned by them every once in a while, and you will have to arrange meals, tea fees, etc. for them.
, it takes a lot of energy and effort." Another old man also said.
"But these people are nothing serious here. Let's give them a beating. The villagers have already vented their anger just now. Just lock them up. Isn't that a waste of food and a waste of manpower?" the village chief said hesitantly.
.
"Huaiyuan, you are still too young. I think they are all big and round, and they are good at work, but you still despise the trouble of raising them? Now is the busy time of farming. You can let them help plow the fields until the farming is busy.
After that, if you don’t want to keep them anymore, just find someone to deal with them and sell them.”
"Yes, I heard that many mines need such strong laborers. If Huaiyuan is worried that you can't handle it well, just leave them to me."
An old man in yellow cloth stroked his chin beard and said with a smile.
"I won't bother you, Uncle Zhou. I just listened to the elders and Huaiyuan has an idea." Zhang Huaiyuan said repeatedly.
This old man in yellow cloth is considered a well-known figure in the surrounding areas, but he is not a good person either. He specializes in making records and has a large number of people under his command. He is not interested in such shady matters.
, he is the best at it.
"Then what are you going to do with them?" another old man asked.
"Just as you said, use them as cattle. If any family suffers, let them use them for a few more days."
Zhang Huaiyuan said: "After the busy farming season is over, let them build a canal for the village. The village had wanted to dig a ditch from the other side of the river before, but it had no one to help. This time we have them, so let them dig it slowly."
, and it saves me having to discuss it with other villagers."
"This is a good idea, and everyone in the village will benefit." After listening to Zhang Huaiyuan's words, several clan elders nodded and laughed, "If the ditch can be dug successfully, then these bandits will have made a great contribution."
"Hey, it was not them who made great achievements, but Mrs. Lin. I don't know where she came from, but she was so powerful that she was able to arrest so many strong robbers."
"Who knows? You guys think there won't be any conspiracy in this matter, right?"
"Could it be that they colluded and wanted to harm our village?"
"That's not the case. Even if it's a tactic, it's not like this. You didn't see how Wu Ming and the others were beaten. If you want me, I don't agree to such a tactic."
"That's right, we just need to keep a close eye on them. No matter what cruel tricks they use, we can just follow our own ideas."
"In my opinion, there are many people in the Lin family. As long as you are willing to put in the effort, it is not difficult to catch them. Didn't she want to buy land in the village before? She just bought it without the permission of the village chief.
Land, if there is no title deed, people can break the contract.
It must be for this reason that she went to such great lengths to catch them."
Several clan elders analyzed it, and the village chief nodded when he heard this, took a sip of the tea in front of him, sighed again, and said with some shame, "If this is really the case, then I can't help but feel sorry for them.
.”
"How to say?"
"Today, someone saw them reclaiming the field of Lezi's family and ran over to tell me. I was a little angry at the time, so I asked someone to notify Lezi's creditor. If I had known that she would arrest Wu Ming and the others, I would not have
This is what should be done.”
"What's the point? This is a warning to her, letting her know who has the final say in Lin'an Village!"
The old man in yellow said: "If tomorrow, the creditor really comes, you just wait until they are quarreling and then come out to seek justice. I believe she will not only not hate you, but will also be grateful to you."
"Yes." Zhang Huaiyuan nodded slightly and accepted the proposal.
