The people in the yamen are very arrogant. Once they arrive at the village entrance, they will ask the village chief to hand over the Zhao family without saying a word.

The people in the village are ordinary people, and the people who are most afraid of are those from the government. The aggressive appearance of Zheng Yajian with his brothers was so frightening that everyone was afraid to take a breath. Quickly put down the hoe and rushed over.

"I don't know what some officials have to do when they come to our Willow Village? The villagers in our village are all good families..."

The village chief was quite old, and he respectfully greeted and explained to several yamen servants, and his anxiety was no less than that of the surrounding villagers.

When the villagers informed him just now, they gave him a general idea, saying that the yamen called the Zhao family by name, but they didn't say why.

If someone else commits a crime, he will definitely cooperate actively and hand over the person. After all, no one dares to go against the government, but the village chief of the Zhao family hesitated, because the Zhao family is somewhat related to him, and people in this place pay attention to it. Family blood, of course he has to take care of his own relatives.

However, the village chief also murmured in his heart that although the Zhao family was not liked by the villagers, they couldn’t do anything to provoke the government.

Today, the yamen Zheng was invited by Wu Qingyuan to bluff people. He discussed how to do things on the way. He didn't care about the village chief at all. When the Zhao family and his wife were pushed to the entrance of the village by several villagers, he continued to serve as yamen. prestige.

"You are the Zhao family? Very good, I can't see that the two of you are very courageous. If you dare to violate the laws of the court, the brothers come over and tie them up and take them back!"

Facing the official yamen, the Zhao family and his wife were already afraid. They pulled to the village entrance and didn't come to their senses to ask them what was going on. The yamen even called someone to arrest them, which made Liang and his wife's legs go soft. .

The village chief was also startled, and hurriedly blocked the inquiry.

Zheng Yajian did not explain, and continued to arrest people. Wu Qingyuan, who was standing behind, came out and said respectfully to the village chief.

"The village chief is the official of my newspaper. I think the village chief has also heard about the rumors in the village for the past two days. Those false rumors have seriously hurt the reputation of my brothers Zhou and Brother Lin. If this matter cannot be resolved. , in the future, my brothers Zhou and Brother Lin are afraid that they will be ruined in this life. I think the village chief may not be able to deal with this matter, so they can only go to the police to make us clear."

"This this this..."

The village head was dumbfounded, and the surrounding villagers were also stunned. Obviously, Wu Qingyuan didn't expect Wu Qingyuan to report to the official.

The Zhao family is also stupid. Since the establishment of the village, no one has gone to the government to say that this guy went to the government because of a little gossip! Did something go wrong? !

"Brother Wu, is there any misunderstanding here? We can just talk about it in our own village, why bother to go to the government..."

The village chief touched the beads of sweat on his forehead and felt extremely annoyed. The Zhao family was not only his relative, but the village's reputation was not good after the prisoners were found in the village. Why is Brother Wu so impulsive, what can he do in private? Why do you have to go to the government office?

"The village chief can rest assured, I just want to ask for justice. There are so many people in the village. I don't know who came out with those words. I only know that the Zhao family was the one who had a holiday. They were the first suspects. If it turns out that Uncle Zhao did not do it, I will naturally ask the official to let him go and apologize three times, but if they really did it, then I will definitely ask the official to give us justice, I believe Our Xia State government can make decisions for the people."

Wu Qingyuan was calm and did not let go.

"This brother is right. If there is anything wrong, we will go to the government. We will definitely decide for the people. There is no difference between destroying a person's reputation and forcing them to die. Old village chief, this matter has violated the law, and the situation is so bad that it cannot be private. You don't have to worry about it, leave it to our government, let us check if there is any problem, we will definitely check it carefully, and catch all those involved in the crime and pull out their tongues!"

Servant Zheng cooperated very well, patted the village chief on the shoulder, looked around the villagers and said solemnly.

With the slightly threatening voice of Zheng Yashou, there were obviously a few aunties in the crowd of villagers who shook their bodies and hurriedly lowered their heads. It was obvious that these strange people were the rat shit that fueled the flames of good things.

When they were caught, Zheng Yajian didn't delay any longer and left with his brother. Wu Qingyuan didn't stay to deal with the village chief who was hesitant to talk and the villagers who were talking in a low voice. people.

............

For the next two days, Wu Qingyuan and the Lin family basically didn't go out much.

Whether it was the village chief who came to the door or the villagers who asked questions when they went out, everyone remained silent and waited for the government to investigate. Even when the village chief came to the door in person, Wu Qingyuan still did not let go, and even the honest and honest Lin Laogen changed. It's like a person, and the government has to deal with this matter.

At this time, everyone knew that Wu Qingyuan was real, and he would never give up until the rumor was resolved and the innocence of Zhou Ge'er and Lin Ge'er was not resolved.

But it was just a few words of gossip, and now the trouble has reached the yamen, and it has spread to several surrounding villages. Now Liushu Village is famous, the village chief is speechless, and the villagers are very scared.

But the attitude of Wu Qingyuan and the Lin family is not incomprehensible. Everyone knows how unpleasant the gossip scandals have been. If it wasn't for Wu Qingyuan and Lin Laogen's quick reaction, and if it continued to spread, Lin Amo would not be forced by the rumors. If he died, he would have no face to live in the village, and even his brother Zhou, who was friends with him, had his reputation damaged.

If it really turns out to be like this, the parents and elders of other families will not easily give in Of course not afraid.

Even those with a guilty conscience began to be frightened, afraid to go out and shut their mouths, because they were afraid that the yamen would catch them too, and they couldn't be more afraid in their hearts.

The villagers were trembling, and the village chief was also worried. The mother-in-law at home kept urging him to rescue the Zhao family and his wife. Zhao Haisheng, who got the news in the town, also ran back to beg him for his cousin, but he made several trips to the town. Either way, the yamen just won't let go.

The most important thing is that even if the Zhao family doesn't admit it, the village head guesses that they must have done the rumor. The village head is not stupid. He knows very well what kind of person his relative is.

What made the village chief even more troublesome was that no matter how hard the Zhao family's mouth was, Zheng Yajian, who had been greeted, was also very sincere. In their hands, they have the final say.

Anyway, whether it's true or not, the news of the Zhao family's slandering and slandering Brother Zhou Gelin is a nail in the iron. Besides, this is true. The aunts who have been the most gossipy before are the ones with the Zhao family. The relationship between the mother-in-law is relatively good, and the accomplice does not dare to refute it at all...

But the group of children who followed Lin Tianbao to the town to play and watch the liveliness went home late, and were discovered by their family members. A few children were afraid of being beaten, and quickly explained that they had done nothing wrong, but had sneaked into the town and ate a bunch of candied haws. , watched a lively event.

So, Zhao Haisheng stepped on two boats, one of whom was a brothel clerk, and the news that he was honest and capable turned out to be a kiln visiting, just like Lin Amo's gossip, spread all over the village overnight.

Coupled with the fact that the Zhao family was arrested in the yamen, the public opinion in the village did not need to be led, and the topic changed at once, the gun was turned around, and the Zhao family began to talk about the Zhao family. of.

There is also the Qianji Grain Shop, there is no need for Sun Baozhu to do anything, the person who is staring at the shopkeeper will find a way by himself, and the next day he will pry over the position of the shopkeeper who is not sitting hot...

The Zhao family is a relative of the village chief, and the village chief was tormented by the bad affairs of the Zhao family. In the end, he had no choice but to ask Wu Qingyuan and the Lin family shamelessly.

"Village chief, since you have spoken up, this matter is not non-negotiable, as long as they are willing to explain the nonsense before in front of the whole village, and then apologize to my brother Zhou and Brother Lin, and return us Innocent reputation, the village folks, we will not do anything, we only seek justice."

After waiting for a pot of beef for so long, it was time to start cooking. Wu Qingyuan made his request expressionlessly.

"Yes, as long as they explain it clearly in front of the whole village and return the innocence of my family's Amer and Zhou brother, I will not pursue it."

Lin Laogen also nodded, but his expression was still very ugly. It was no wonder that he was happy when this happened. He really wanted to kill the Zhao family and his wife.

However, it is obviously unrealistic to do this with human life. The most important thing is to restore the reputation of your baby.

"Okay, I'll go talk to them."

Wu Qingyuan and the Lin family finally let go. The village chief let out a sigh of relief and nodded quickly. This is not an excessive requirement, and it is better than being in prison.

After leaving the gate of Lin's house, the village chief hurried to the town non-stop, talked to Zheng Yashou for a long time, and stuffed more than a dozen copper coins. Only then did he see the Zhao family who had been locked up for several days and put Wu Qingyuan away. conditions.

Explaining in public that the request to apologize is very reasonable, and it is not excessive, but if you do it, Brother Lin and Brother Zhou will be cleansed, and their Zhao family will have to be scolded. Who will pay after doing such a sinister thing? Dare to befriend them?

But if they didn't agree, they would have to be imprisoned. Zheng yamen didn't punish them, but the dark and dark prison cells and the fearful waiting was enough for the two of them.

In the end, they were persuaded and scolded by the village chief, and the couple who did not want to be detained finally nodded their heads, and were escorted by Zheng Yajian to the village with the village chief. , kneeling in front of Lin Laogen, unwilling and not daring to resist, put up the apology prepared by his son, and then recited the 'apology letter' specially prepared by Wu Qingyuan with a shy face...
