Yang Dazhi was knocked to the ground, his hands fluttering wildly, trying hard to sit up, or even stand up and run away.
How could Cui Hongyu give him such a chance? He stretched out his hand to hit his hand, raised his leg to hit his leg, and hit his head twice. Yang Dazhi was completely knocked unconscious and lay motionless on the ground.
Seeing that the other party was motionless, Cui Hongyu turned around, picked up Chen Qiaoer, rushed to the yard, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brother Dachun, help!"
"Help."
It was only the second watch, and Chen Dachun was in a daze, but not dead yet. Cui Hongyu's shout alerted his entire family.
Chen Dachun grabbed his clothes, messed around and rushed to the yard.
He asked loudly through the wall, "Sister Hongyu, what's wrong?"
Cui Hongyu pointed to the room, "Someone came in and I knocked him down."
When Chen Dachun heard this, he put his hand on the wall and jumped over.
Hearing shouts in the yard, the bandits waiting outside the door knew that the matter was exposed.
This guy was a bit of a thief. He knew the direction and ran out of the village.
After running out of the village, I turned a corner and bumped into Chen Xiaobei, who was returning with a pheasant.
Chen Xiaobei was hit so hard that he couldn't help but muttered, "Who the hell is this late at night? You can't walk without eyes."
The bandit said nothing and continued to run towards Qingniu Mountain.
Watching him go away, Chen Xiaobei scratched his head helplessly. This man didn't seem to be from this village.
Then he heard Cui Hongyu's shout.
As soon as he heard Cui Hongyu shouting, Chen Xiaobei's heart tightened and he ran home.
When he arrived, Chen Dachun had already taken Yang Dazhi out of the house and was pressing him to the ground and tying him up.
The shouting naturally woke up Chen Qiaoer. Frightened, she was lying in Cui Hongyu's arms, sobbing softly.
Chen Xiaobei walked in, threw the pheasant away, stepped forward and held Cui Hongyu's shoulders, "Hongyu, don't be afraid, I'm back."
As soon as she saw him, Chen Qiaoer burst into tears.
Chen Xiaobei stretched out his hand to take Chen Qiaoer over, and put his other hand around Cui Hongyu, holding them in his arms. Chen Xiaobei looked guilty, "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Cui Hongyu shook her head, broke away from his arms again, then took Chen Qiaoer over, and pointed at Dachun.
Chen Xiaobei understood, walked forward, knelt down and watched Dacheng beating Kou'er to death.
"Dachun, thank you, if it weren't for you..." before he could finish, Chen Dachun waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, I've already tied up this kid."
At this moment, there was a burst of rapid footsteps, followed by the shadow of fire, and the village protection team arrived. After all, in such a quiet night, Cui Hongyu's shouting at the top of his lungs would be heard far away.
The leader was none other than Chen Ping. As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted, "What's wrong? What's wrong!"
Chen Xiaobei pointed to Yang Dazhi on the ground, "A thief ran into our house and was knocked unconscious by Hong Yu."
Chen Ping held a torch and came forward to take a photo of Yang Dazhi, whose head was covered in blood.
"Hmph, you broke into a house at night and either raped or robbed. Take it away and hand it over to the county government tomorrow."
Several people came forward to support Yang Dazhi and walked out. After taking a few steps, village guard Chen Daqiang felt something was wrong. He ran forward and took a closer look, and then pulled Chen Ping aside.
"Captain, I have seen this man. During the day, he came to Chen Yutian's house to visit relatives and said he was his nephew."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping frowned, "Are you right, is this really this person?"
Chen Daqiang nodded, "That's right. We can have strangers come to Hetou Village a few times a year, so I can still remember it wrong."
Chen Ping nodded and looked at Yang Dazhi, who was still in a coma, "Wake him up and ask him clearly."
Soon, Yang Dazhi was woken up by a ladle of water. He looked at everyone present and secretly thought, this is the end.
"Hey, let me ask you, are you a relative of Chen Yutian's family?" Chen Ping asked loudly.
Yang Dazhi shook his head, but did not speak.
"Why did you come to Xiaobei's house? Did you steal something?"
But Yang Dazhi remained silent.
"I understand, you covet Cui Hongyu's beauty and want to do evil things."
Yang Dazhi still closed his eyes and said nothing.
"I understand, you are not stealing, you are here to kill, right?"
Chen Ping was making various guesses, but Yang Dazhi just remained silent.
At this moment, the scene where someone bumped into him just now appeared in Chen Xiaobei's mind.
That person is not from this village. Could it be that he is an accomplice of this person and is now running towards Qingniu Mountain?
If a gang commits a crime, the most important thing is to prevent the person from being rescued by his accomplices.
Thinking of this, he took a step forward and said to Chen Ping, "Brother Chen Ping has a long night and dreams. I think it is better to hand the person over to the county overnight, and the county magistrate will naturally ask questions."
Chen Ping hesitated for a moment, "It's twenty miles away from the county government office. It's late at night."
Xiaobei pointed to the donkey in his corner, "Put on my donkey cart and I'll take you there. You can just sleep in the cart."
"By the way, let's have some meat buns in the county seat after dawn and then come back."
"But you have to leave two people behind in case the thief has help."
A meal of meat buns was a great temptation for the villagers at that time.
Chen Ping nodded. Since he was going to eat other people's meat buns, he had to agree to Chen Xiaobei's conditions.
He ordered two team members to follow Yang Dazhi to the county government office, and asked Chen Daqiang to lead the rest to stay.
They were not allowed to leave the yard before dawn. Of course, Chen Xiaobei promised to bring them meat buns back.
Chen Xiaobei walked aside and called Cui Hongyu and Qiaoer over, and told them to follow Dachun to rest next door, leaving the yard to Chen Daqiang and the others.
At this moment, Chen Ping didn't know that he was destroying his grandfather with his own hands.
At this time, Chen Anbang had no idea at home.
In fact, this is not surprising. In this era of poor communication, the village protection team members either followed him to the county seat or stayed at Chen Xiaobei's home.
Even the villagers who heard the shouting did not take it seriously.
After all, the village protection team did not beat the gong this time. Not beating the gong means that nothing major happened.
But what Chen Xiaobei didn't expect was that when he arrived at the county seat, it was not yet the fourth watch and the city gate was not open.
Chen Ping stepped forward and shouted for a long time, but the soldiers on the tower just responded with two words, "No, everything must be opened after the fifth watch."
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves in the distance, and two black figures hurriedly came to the city gate and shouted loudly, "Open the door quickly, I want to enter the city, I belong to the Liu family."
The soldiers on the city immediately put on a smile and said loudly, "You are from the Liu family, what proof do you have?"
The man on horseback took out a token from his arms and shouted loudly, "I have the Liu family's badge. Put the basket down and I will show it to you."
Soon, a bamboo basket slowly fell from the tower.
The man crossed the moat, stepped forward, put the token in the bamboo basket and jumped back.
