"What? Go to jail?" There was an uproar, and the villagers looked at Zhan Laoer who was slumped in a chair in shock and sympathy.
"You are talking nonsense. My boss even needs someone to support him when he gets up. How can you harm your wife!" Little Yao suddenly got angry. In a hurry, he pointed at Butler Zeng and yelled, "You must be this bitch who found you."
!What a grinning liar!”
Mrs. Zhan clearly felt that Mr. Zhan's body was a little stiff, and her heart skipped a beat.
After calming down, Zhan Laoer shook his head, and Mrs. Zhan's heart was relieved. It's just that it wasn't her second son who was causing the trouble. With her as a mother, this dirty water can't be poured on his head.
.
Looking at Butler Zeng and the group of strong men behind him, Mrs. Zhan felt terrified and cried to the old patriarch: "Uncle Qi, you also know that my second son was almost killed by Xiaoyu. In the past half month,
You haven’t even gone out yet, and I still have to hold you up when you sit on the chair.”
"I can testify to this." Aunt Zhou, who lives across a wall from the Zhan family, said something fair.
"I haven't seen him in the past few days when I drive cattle carts to the county." The uncle from the Hu family at the end of the village also said the same thing.
After Zhan Laoer was injured, everyone in the village carried his things to visit him. The wound, tsk tsk, was fortunate that the blind woman was not strong enough, otherwise Zhan Laoer would have died.
Zhan Laoer stood up holding on to the back of the chair, and glanced at Zhan Feiyu next to the old patriarch with a sinister gaze.
He had previously planned to use the blind woman to kill Zhan Feiyu, but at this moment when he saw Butler Zeng and others, Zhan Lao Er knew that all this was caused by Zhan Feiyu, and this damn girl wanted him, his second uncle,
Life!
"I wonder what the father-in-law's family name is? There must be a misunderstanding. I dare to swear to God that I have never harmed anyone." No matter how turbulent his heart was, Zhan Laoer's righteous and awe-inspiring manner and his neither humble nor arrogant attitude were enough to win the trust of those present.
To say that the second brother Zhan is greedy and selfish, the village chief, the old patriarch and a few smart people present all know that after living in the village for so many years, everyone knows what is going on in the Zhan family.
But Muramasa and the others didn't believe it when Zhan Laoer was said to have harmed people's lives. It was precisely because Zhan Laoer was thoughtful and calculating that he would not make such a big mistake.
The second uncle is really "unafraid in the face of danger". Zhan Feiyu stared at Zhan Lao Er with wide black eyes, a cunning light flashed from his eyes. I wonder if the second uncle can still be so confident after the Zeng family's evidence is presented.
Zhan Lao Er... The old patriarch looked at him for a long time without meaning, and then said: "Zhuzi, you go into the house and bring out some chairs."
Muramasa, the old patriarch and old man Zhan all sat down.
Butler Zeng glanced at the somewhat dirty chair with disgust, and finally sat down. More than twenty strong men stood in two rows behind his chair.
"Old patriarch, my employer is the Zeng family of Baofeng Buzhuang." The Zhan family has been smashed and intimidated, and Butler Zeng has also revealed his identity.
Seeing the fearful looks on everyone's faces, Butler Zeng continued arrogantly: "Yueqian South Street was frightened, and my wife almost lost her baby, and the culprit was Mr. Zhan!
"
Whoa! The murderer of the South Street frightened horse turned out to be Zhan Laoer!
Everyone in the village was dumbfounded. Everyone talked about this a while ago. Some idle men even went to the county town to find lame beggars, just for the reward of one hundred taels offered by the Zeng family. Who would have thought of this?
It’s related to Zhan Laoer!
"You are talking nonsense, my boss is not a murderer!" Little Yao shouted in shock and urgency.
But looking at the strong men who could kill someone with one punch, little Yao didn't dare to act recklessly, and anxiously patted Zhan Lao Er on the back, "Master, tell me quickly, this matter has nothing to do with us."
"Why are you making such a fuss? Muramasa and the old patriarch are here. No matter who it is, they can't wrong the second son." Old Mrs. Zhan pushed little Yao away. Did this idiot forget that the second son had stab wounds on his back? He still dared to do so.
Take action.
Muramasa and the old patriarch did not answer the call. Judging from the shouting and fighting attitude of Butler Zeng, they did not have the ability to protect the second son Zhan.
"Steward Zeng." Zhan Laoer bowed his hands to Butler Zeng. When he thought that he and Zhu Kun had met in private, Zhan Laoer felt panicked, but his face didn't show any signs of it.
"I have also heard about Mrs. Zeng's frightened horse. I was delivering goods at the dock when the incident happened. Besides, I have no enmity with the Zeng family. Even if I borrow a little courage, I would not dare to murder Mrs. Zeng."
After finishing speaking, Zhan Laoer glanced at Zhan Feiyu secretly and gritted his teeth with hatred. What on earth had this dead girl done secretly to bring the Zeng family to the door?
"No injustice?" Butler Zeng sneered, his face suddenly changed, and he made a stern accusation, "The culprit who scared the horse that day was a lame beggar, but someone saw you going to the haunted house after the incident."
Zhan Laoer's face turned pale, and his right hand holding the back of the chair tightened suddenly. The Zeng family actually found this out, and he clearly avoided people that day.
"The ghost house where the beggars live is far away from the wharf where you pull goods." Butler Zeng sneered sarcastically. If he hadn't been absolutely sure, would he have brought someone to knock on the door?
After all, this little girl from the Zhan family had been praised by the county magistrate, and he had given her twenty taels of silver as a reward half a month ago. To put it bluntly, it depends on the owner when beating a dog. The second brother Zhan is her second uncle, and shopkeeper Zeng was worried about Zhan.
Feiyu is afraid of Magistrate Chen behind her.
Zhan's family and the villagers all looked at Zhan Lao'er. Why did he go to the haunted house for nothing? Could it be that Zhan Lao'er was responsible for the horse scare in South Street?
Little Yao wished he could explain to Zhan Lao Er with his mouth full, so he pushed him anxiously and said, "Master, please speak up quickly!"
"Second brother, think about what you did at the haunted house that day?" Mrs. Zhan kept urging.
When the incident suddenly happened, Zhan Laoer's mind went into chaos. If he made up a nonsense excuse and was discovered by the Zeng family, it would be even more unclear. What should he do?
When Muramasa, the old patriarch and others saw Zhan Laoer's appearance, their hearts sank. Could it really have something to do with him?
The spacious courtyard was full of people, but it was eerily quiet at the moment, except for the autumn wind rustling through the treetops.
"Even so, it might be a coincidence." A clear voice broke the silence. Although Zhan Feiyu was a short and fat little girl, her attitude of neither being humble nor overbearing made people dare not underestimate her.
"The Zeng family accuses my second uncle of being a murderer, but they don't know the motive? There is no unprovoked hatred in this world, whether it's love, vendetta or money. There must be one of the three."
Zhan Feiyu, who spoke with a crisp voice, took two steps forward, straightened his small body and cupped his hands in the direction of the county town, "If there is no definite evidence today, I will definitely go to the county government office to beat the drum and complain, and submit a piece of complaint to seek compensation for my second uncle.
justice!"
The village masa and the old patriarch looked at the Zhan Feiyu with a happy face. Butler Zeng came to the door aggressively and smashed it. Not to mention the adults' fear, even they did not dare to offend the Zeng family easily.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoyu, a child, would come forward. Although he was only seven years old and had only been in school for a few months, he argued hard and moved out of Master Chen. Even Butler Zeng was suppressed.
The most important thing is that Zhan Laoer had previously forced Xiaoyu to pay compensation of five hundred taels of silver. Zhan Laoer was so unkind and unjust, but Xiaoyu repaid evil with kindness regardless of past grudges.
"The little fish is so awesome." The villagers looked at Zhan Feiyu in shock. They didn't see Mrs. Zhan. Little Yao was so fierce that he was scared.
"No wonder Master Lin always praises Xiaoyu."
"Yes, look at Zhan Dalang, his parents were almost beaten, and they were still hiding in the house like a turtle."
Sharp-eyed villagers have long seen Zhan Dalang hiding in the study. As for Sanlang, who is only two months younger than Xiaoyu, he can only cry now. This contrast clearly shows his superiority and inferiority.
