Chapter 624 He is really a victim
Who is Liu Ji?
He's the kind of person who will climb up immediately if you give him a vine.
Quietly observing Qin Yao drinking a glass of water without saying a word about going to meet her biological brother, he immediately decided to forget all the information he had learned from the Qin family caravan this morning and pretend that he had never known these secrets.
There was a noise at the entrance of the village, and Liu Ji immediately stood up and asked, "Madam, I'll go see if Awang and the others are back."
Qin Yao nodded, "Go ahead." She was very pleased with his ability to understand the current situation.
She really didn't want to recognize Qin Feng, and the reason was very simple. Because she was not Qin Feng's sister, she couldn't find various reasons to lie and weave a perfect lie to acknowledge this identity.
As for Qin Feng’s attitude, we’ll just have to wait and see.
Since they are siblings, they must know their sister very well, and he must have noticed her abnormality a long time ago.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have tested her again and again last night, but would have recognized her directly on the spot.
"Mother, there are so many officials here!"
Sanlang and Si Niang ran in excitedly, pointing outside and saying, "Uncle Awang brought a lot of officials, and those criminals were all tortured by the officials!"
Sanlang and Si Niang each took Qin Yao and went to the village entrance to watch the excitement. Everyone was very happy to see the criminals caught.
"Wait a moment." Qin Yao pulled her hands out of the two children's arms, turned around and waved at the group in the corner of the hall, "You two come with us, the government will take care of you, you don't have to be afraid of these bad guys anymore."
The government needs witnesses and evidence to convict someone, and no one knows better than the two brothers Gou Wa about the evil acts of this kidnapping gang.
However, the blanket only moved a little and then shrank tighter.
Qin Yao then remembered how difficult it was for two country kids to go to court before an official.
Not to mention the children, even the adults in the village and the common people in the city avoided seeing officials. They would avoid entering the government office if possible, for fear that they would not be able to get out once they entered.
Qin Yao sighed helplessly and said, "My husband is a juren. With him as the main witness, the county magistrate will definitely handle the case impartially."
"Also, if you two don't seize the opportunity now, there will be many witnesses coming forward. It's hard to say whether you will get the first credit by then."
After waiting for a while, there was a sound from under the tightly wrapped quilt. Gou Wa came out with his brother and followed timidly behind the mother and her two children.
On the way there, Si Niang taught the two how to speak when they met the officers. They must not be nervous, nor be reckless. They should answer if the officers asked questions, and not answer if they didn't ask, so as to avoid saying too much and making mistakes.
Gou Wa was surprised to see that she was teaching so seriously, and could not help asking in a low voice: "Fourth Miss, don't you hate me?" Why did you tell him all this?
Si Niang snorted and did not answer. She waved to the two brothers Gou Wa to follow her and ran towards the group of busy officials at the village entrance.
He shouted, "Sir, there are two witnesses here!" and signaled Goudan with his eyes to come forward quickly.
Since he was able to survive the hands of the criminals, he naturally had more courage than ordinary children. He immediately knelt down with his younger brother in front of the officer who seemed to be the leader, and told them all about the one-eyed man and his gang, including who was who, who was responsible for what, and who had done what.
The police received the report early in the morning, and they didn't dare to believe it at first, until Awang took out the certificate of Mr. Liu Ji, and saw that there was a juren to guarantee, then they set out.
At this time, a group of people followed Awang and Uncle Qi to the Wild Cat Village. When they saw the people all over the ground, they were confused. The appearance of Gou Wa was a great help.
Soon, the officers took action. All the leaders were shackled and shackled, and the rest of the minions, both men and women, were divided into two rows, their hands were tied, their mouths were gagged, and they were tied together with hemp ropes.
The rescued women and children were put on a carriage and taken to the yamen, where their families would come to claim them.
They were busy all morning, and it was not until noon that the officers finally cleared out the entire Wild Cat Village. They took the human traffickers and the rescued women and children back to the An County government office.
The outbreak of such a major case alarmed the entire Yuzhou. People were immediately sent over from the main city of Yuzhou, and the An County government mobilized personnel from all over the place. It took half a month to finally arrest all the kidnappers and bring them to justice.
During this period, Liu Ji and Qin Feng went to court as whistleblowers and stayed in the yamen for two days. They were released only after all their statements were recorded.
Of course, Liu Ji did not forget his wife's instructions. Many people came from the main city, and he did not miss any of the people who had been offered rewards before. With the testimony of the magistrate of An County, he pocketed the rewards one by one.
Seeing that Liu Ji's wallet was bulging with money, the magistrate of An County couldn't help but suspect that his report was intentional and not an accidental victim as he said.
Feeling the suspicious gaze of the An County magistrate, Liu Ji put his money bag away and turned back to look at him innocently.
He swore that they were really victims!
The journey to Beijing was still a long one, and Qin Yao's family had no way of staying in An County to wait for the result. After Liu Ji left the yamen, the family continued on their journey.
The children still seemed to be worried about the two brothers Gou Wa. Without parents or relatives, they didn't know where they would go in the future.
Yin Le patted the drooping little heads and said optimistically, "Don't worry, they are two powerful guys. They were able to survive the Luemai people. Even without the protection of their families, they will live well."
Liu Ji was driving the cart outside, and added with a smile: "We found a lot of gold and silver in the cellar of Wildcat Village. When the time comes, we will distribute them to these innocent children as compensation. At least they can get 100 or 200 coins, which will keep them from starving to death for a while."
"Besides, there are only these two brothers left in the entire Wildcat Village. With all those fields, land, and houses, it's hard for them to be poor~" Liu Ji said with some envy.
but
I lowered my head and glanced at my own purse. It was a lot fatter than before, so there was no need to envy others too much.
When it comes to generosity, it has to be his wife.
Look, he just ran around the yamen for two days and helped her get back a total of 180 taels of reward, and she directly rewarded him 30 taels as a reward for his hard work.
Although this also includes the food expenses for the journey, Awang can catch the meat, and Ale and the children can pick the vegetables when they rest on the roadside. Rounding it off, thirty taels is not a small amount!
"Hehehe~" Liu Ji couldn't help laughing out loud when thinking about it.
As he was laughing, Awang rode past the carriage on horseback, and the horse's tail threw dust all over his face.
Liu Ji: “.”
Awang reported: "Madam, the Qin family caravan has been following us. It seems that they are with us. Do you want to go and say hello?"
The two sides worked together to raid the robbers' lair. Two days ago, Qin Feng and Liu Ji went to the yamen together to testify. They ate and lived together for two days, and the two sides had some friendship.
It is still far from the capital, and no one can predict what will happen along the way. If they can take care of each other with the caravan, it can save them a lot of trouble.
