Chapter 229 Panic
The yard, which was still lively, suddenly fell silent, and the village chief's heart jumped sharply, and he subconsciously looked at Lao Zhoutou.
This question was asked too suddenly, and Lao Zhou didn't control his facial expression for a while, and he twitched and said nothing.
After a while, there was a cry of sob next to her.
Lao Zhou turned his head stiffly and saw that it was his old wife who was crying while covering her face. He finally recovered and lowered his head and wiped his tears, but his hands trembled slightly.
Qian raised his hand to beat him, lay on him and said, "You are incapable of doing this, otherwise my uncle can't sell yourself. You don't have the ability to give birth to so many children, what do you want me to do in the future? In-laws..."
Qian became more and more angry as she talked, using more and more strength, Lao Zhou did not resist, and directly held her head and squatted on the ground to let her hit.
"The mother-in-law kept telling me to take good care of my uncle before she left..."
Zhou Dalang and others followed and cried.
Man Bao, who knew nothing, was stunned, then came back to his senses, and hurriedly stopped her mother to help her dad block some attacks, "Mother, don't beat dad..."
But Man Bao did not stop Qian for the first time. Qian's strength, who had been bedridden for a long time, suddenly became very strong. He pushed Man Bao aside and slapped Lao Zhou on the head. Two slaps were directly on his face. Her cheeks flushed instantly, and her palm prints became clear.
But the three questioners were indifferent and frowned.
One of them couldn't help but yelled: "Stop, ask you something, and answer honestly, where is your brother named Zhou Yin?"
The village chief came back to his senses, and he quickly said: "Official master, officer, Zhou Yin, I know, he was sold as a slave when he was fourteen years old, and he didn't know where he was left. Didn't you mention it suddenly and stabbing a knife in the heart of my uncle and aunt?"
His eyes fell on the village chief’s face, and he asked with a calm face: "Really?"
"Yeah, yeah, everyone in the village knows about this, and there is nothing to conceal about selling oneself?" The village chief said, "You don't know, the great drought in our 11th year in Dade, it is not only The drought lasted for a month or two. It went from the beginning of the spring to the beginning of the autumn. There was no harvest in the soil, and everyone had no way to survive. As you can see, there were so many people in Uncle Jin’s family. No more, so I sold myself for a bag of grain and returned."
This is the first time that Manbao knows that she still has an uncle, and that she is still such a poor uncle.
Selling as a slave, the young man still doesn’t know where he is suffering. No wonder my mother is so sad, no wonder my father didn’t hide.
Seeing that the three of them were still aggressive, Man Bao became unhappy. He stood in front of the village chief and asked with his little head up, “Aren’t you here to count the number of people to pay for subsidies? Why do you ask so many?”
Man Bao also faintly felt that something was wrong, and asked Keke in his heart, "Are they from the government?"
Cocot paused and said, "Yes."
Man Bao was so surprised, "Really came to give the subsidy? They won't stop giving my family subsidy just because I quarreled with them?"
"No, so not."
"Huh?" Man Bao pondered for a while before she understood the meaning of the words. She widened her eyes and jumped up. When she was about to shout something, she remembered what Master Bai had just taught her. "Are you liars? Otherwise, why don't you go to the ground to see the disaster, but only come to your home to see it?"
In fact, there is no need to shout at Man Bao. From the time they asked Zhou Yin, the villagers knew that most of them were deceived by someone, and who came from the government, let alone check the disaster.
They don’t understand what the drunkard’s intention is not to drink, they only know that their purpose is not pure, so everyone's complexion has changed, and they are looking at the three with a guard.
At the same time, news from here spread quickly. The villagers who were originally at home waiting for the official to come, or had been checked, had already gone home to prepare for dinner, put down their business, and drove the women and children back. Home, the middle-aged men rushed to Zhou's house with a hoe.
Some old people who heard the news also rushed to the old Zhou's house with a calm face.
The three people who originally wanted to use their power to suppress others couldn’t help but pause when they saw the villagers quickly gathering outside the wall.
The three of them are good at martial arts, but two fists are hard to beat four legs. What's more, this is not just four legs. The males from the whole village have come over and they are surrounded by a black wall.
Even the big donkey who is not in harmony with Manbao’s family came over with a hoe.
The atmosphere was stagnant, and neither side spoke for a while.
Mr. Zhuang pushed away from the crowd and walked to the front, frowning and asking them, "You said you were ordered by the court to check the disaster. Do you have any official documents? Who appointed it?"
"Who are you, do I need to tell you?"
"Zai Xia is just a story about Bai Ding, but unfortunately, I have studied in a school. Maybe I know the person you are talking about."
Of course the three of them knew Mr. Zhuang, they checked it before they came, but it didn’t mean they would answer his words.
Seeing that the three of them didn’t answer Mr. Zhuang, Zhou Dazhu took a step forward and said aggressively: “Aren’t you really liars?”
"I'm afraid it's really a liar, I said, how can there be such a good thing, everyone can get a subsidy, even the baby, it is obviously a lie."
"We are already so miserable, and you even came to lie to others. This is too depressing."
"Yes, grab people and send them to the county government!"
Seeing the loss of control and losing control, the three of them immediately put their swords in front of them and said: "What do you want to do? Tell you, we are the imperial commander. If you dare to hurt us, the imperial court will send a large army to raz you."
"Who are you lie to? You said you ordered an official from the court. Then you told Mr. Zhuang, what kind of official are you, do you have official documents, and who are you appointed?" Chu Lang wanted to make things worse, Mr. Zhuang said again. He remembered it, used it again, and then encouraged everyone, "My fellow villagers, let's arrest people first. Maybe the county government is wanted for them. We may even get rewards if we arrest them and send them."
As soon as everyone listened, the eyes of the three of them changed from anger to bright, rewarding money~~
The three of them were startled, and pushed away from the crowd to run. Everyone quickly stopped, and the scene was out of control for a while.
Qian finally stopped crying. He took Man Bao into his arms, and protected her from the battlefield. Seeing Bai Shanbao standing silly on the side, she pulled it over, and Xiao Qian and others immediately took their own words. The child stuffed into the house.
Liu’s family did not expect to lose control so quickly, so anxiously to find his grandson, he saw Qian’s hand holding Man Bao, and his hand holding Shan Bao into the house.
She breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed her grandma’s hand, and whispered: "Let’s go out a bit and let them."
At this time, Lao Zhoutou was grabbing Zhou Dalang's hand and gritted his teeth secretly: "You can't let them go, you have to keep them."
Zhou Dalang's hands and feet trembled, "Can you stay here later?"
"Leave it alone, you must leave people behind."
