"You are frightened. Now the cowshed has been burned down. You should stay here with the educated youth Qiao for now, and we will see what to do later."
After dealing with Qiao Chuan, Zhou Aiguo came to accommodate the wounded who almost died in the fire.
Qiao Qingqing had no objection to this and quickly asked Lu Heng to go into the room to make the bed for the old man. After a while, Lu Zhenfeng took the old man into the room to rest.
It was also thanks to Qiao Qingqing that she had considered everything when renovating the house and had four rooms built in it. In addition to her own bedroom of 30 square meters, the other three rooms are each 15 square meters.
If you really want to squeeze in, quite a few people can sleep in one room.
Leaving aside the bedrooms, the three empty rooms were originally intended to be used as a guest room, a reception room, and a warehouse.
There is a bed in the guest room, the living room cannot be moved, and the storeroom can be lent to the Tan couple.
Qiao Qingqing stored all the important things into the space. In addition to food, the warehouse contained firewood, straw, some dry goods and tools.
There was no time to do that tonight, so I asked the Tan couple to lay some straw and put a straw mat on top, and we would make do for the night.
"Captain, Qiao Chuan must be coming for me. The last report didn't cause me any harm, so today..." Qiao Qingqing choked up.
Zhou Aiguo frowned, "Qiao Zhiqing, I will definitely give you justice in this matter. Qiao Chuan is breaking the law. If it weren't for the good fortune of the old man, someone would have died!"
Qiao Chuan acts impulsively, recklessly and without regard for the consequences. This is a flaw in his character and he has suffered a lot from this in his past life.
When he agreed to He Lili, he didn't think at all, what if the fire got bigger and someone was accidentally burned to death?
Therefore, Qiao Qingqing's plan today was not to frame Qiao Chuan, but to take advantage of the situation and expose the worst possible scenario of Qiao Chuan's arson to make everyone realize the seriousness of the incident.
However, she couldn't really let the Lu family and the Tan couple go out, so she had to go through so much trouble.
Now, Qiao Qingqing is no longer afraid of Qiao Chuan's nonsense.
Because she told Qiao Chuan that he was only committing arson and no one was killed, he would not be sentenced to death. But if he dared to say anything, she would spread the news of Qiao Chuan and He Lili's affair. At that time, not only would Qiao Chuan be regarded as a hooligan, but He Lili would also be thrown into the pig cage.
Qiao Chuan was scared when he heard it.
Nowadays, relationships between men and women are strictly checked. If their affair is exposed, they will not be able to pass the Revolutionary Committee alone!
However, Qiao Qingqing would not put all her hopes on Qiao Chuan.
Qiao Chuan is an arsonist and his motives are not pure. Even if he tells the truth, will others believe him?
Qiao Qingqing would naturally insist that Qiao Chuan was lying in order to escape punishment.
As for the Tan couple and the Lu family, Qiao Qingqing was not worried that they would be exposed.
She did not break any law by doing this tonight. Even if the truth came out, she could say that she was too scared, so she asked the Lu family and the Tan couple to pretend to be injured. One reason was to draw everyone's attention to the incident, and the other was to prevent Qiao Chuan from escaping legal sanctions.
After all, if Qiao Chuan can do this once, he can do it a second time, a third time...
She doesn't want to gamble with human lives!
——This is indeed her true thought.
So, strictly speaking, Qiao Qingqing didn't do anything wrong.
Although the Tan couple are outsiders, it will not benefit them to expose this child.
In fact, if it weren’t for Mr. Lu’s kind invitation today, the couple would have probably been burned.
In addition, since the cowshed was burned down, a new "cowshed" must be built. Whether the Tan couple will live a good life or a bad life in the future depends entirely on their relationship with Qiao Qingqing.
The couple are not stupid, otherwise they would not have turned a blind eye to the Lu family's actions for such a long time and pretended to know nothing.
…
Early the next morning, as it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Public Security Bureau was closed.
But when Zhang Feng found out that the captain had gone to his in-laws' house, he immediately notified several of his colleagues to "work overtime" at the Public Security Bureau.
Qiao Chuan woke up in the middle of the night yesterday and found himself imprisoned in the brigade headquarters of the fishing village.
He also made a scene, but Zhou Jianbin slapped him a few times to wake him up.
Zhou Jianbin cursed: "Just because you dared to set the fire, Comrade Lu Heng beat you to death, you deserve it!"
They were not far from the coast and there was always sea breeze. Although the cowshed was in a remote location, it was in a upwind area!
In addition, it was winter, and there was a lot of dry firewood near the cowshed, and straw was everywhere in the village. If something went wrong, the fire would spread to the village, and then...
The consequences are so frightening just thinking about it!
That's why the captain, who usually has the best temper, was so angry.
When Zhou Jianbin told Qiao Chuan about these possible situations, Qiao Chuan was so scared that he didn't even care about the pain in his body, let alone bite Qiao Qingqing.
Before daybreak, the people from the Hongsheng Brigade said they would send him to the Public Security Bureau. He was so scared that he burst into tears and begged for mercy from Zhou Aiguo.
Zhou Aiguo scolded him again, and if he hadn't seen that his arms were dislocated and his legs were broken, he would have beaten him up even more.
When the captain took Qiao Chuan to the Public Security Bureau, some good people ran to the Red Sun Brigade to find someone they knew and viciously spread the news of Qiao Chuan's arson.
"Now, Qiao Chuan has been sent to the Public Security Bureau! Our captain said that if anyone dares to set fire to our village and kill people, he must put the bastard Qiao in jail for life!"
