Shu Feng was so angry that veins popped up on her forehead. She looked for stones everywhere, wishing she could smash the soldiers to death, but Yang Xue held her back tightly.
Yang Xue also cried at this moment, "Shufeng, we can't be impulsive. We still have to find a way to save Auntie later. If we are all caught, who will find a solution?"
When the villagers saw that they had taken the people away, they all stopped in front of the carriage. Yan Bingfa and Dashan also stopped in front of the carriage.
The soldier was also extremely angry and was about to chop people with his knife. Chun Xiao was shocked, but fortunately, the soldiers from the township government held his hand. "Song captain, Song captain, please don't do that. If you strike us with the knife, we won't be able to escape today. Now that the person is captured, why bother with them?"
When had the leader ever been humiliated like this? "Let go! Are you going to protect these villagers too?"
"I'm the one who wants to punish them for this matter. What does it have to do with them? Sir, I'll just go with you. It won't be their turn to be punished. Can you please be flexible?"
When the officer saw her coming out on her own initiative, he quickly ordered the people around him to take her away. "Who do you think you are? You are a criminal yourself and yet you want to beg for mercy. Tie her up quickly."
The two who came up were soldiers from the township government. "Mr. Yan, we're sorry." They apologized in a low voice, and then pretended to tie her hands tightly.
Zhou and Yan Dashan rushed over as soon as they saw it.
"Spring Dawn!"
"How can you arrest people at random?"
But he was pushed away by the officers and soldiers nearby. "If you dare to come forward again, we will arrest you as well."
Zhou was pushed to the ground, and Tian and Zhang rushed forward to support her. Shuduo and Pan'er were so scared that they hugged each other and cried, calling for auntie!
"Dad, please move aside. I'll go and explain everything and then come back." Chunxiao was afraid that something might really happen, so she tried to persuade him, "I have nothing to fear from my own shadow. You can't send me to jail for this. Don't be impulsive. Just wait for my news." She winked at Yan Dashan, telling him not to be impulsive.
Xiaohua and the others came over with Zhou, calling her "Miss" non-stop.
"Fellow villagers, don't be impulsive. Get out of the way quickly. We are in the process of conducting business now." The two policemen kindly reminded them.
Yan Bingfa looked at Chunxiao and reluctantly gave way.
"You all wait and see. Pay the fine tomorrow, or we'll take your land." The leading officer spat on the ground. "You bunch of troublemakers, get out!"
The carriage took Chunxiao away.
The villagers were a little confused.
Zhou suddenly collapsed to the ground, and Yan Bingfa, Yan Dashan and others came over to support her.
The village head was afraid that something might happen, so he had them all sent home. He himself was also very worried because the official had just said that each household would be fined 10 taels of silver.
Everyone in the village knew that something had happened to Chunxiao, and Yan Bangfa and the others must be anxious and angry. Although they had no idea, they knew it was not a good idea to ask for advice at this time, so they all went to the village head.
The village head had no choice but to follow him to Yan Bangfa's house. When he arrived at Yan Bangfa's house, he saw the family members scratching their hair in silence, and several women were wiping their tears anxiously.
"No, Dad, Chunxiao has been arrested. We don't know how long he will be detained. We have to find a way."
"But she, she said she would come back once she had explained everything. Should we wait a day and see?"
"Grandpa, you still want to trust that bastard official? They've even put the hat of treason on you, so what are you afraid to say? Do you know that treason is punishable by death? Now you have to think of a solution quickly. If you don't prepare and convict your aunt soon, it will be over."
When Zhou heard this, she burst into tears. "This damn official is just killing me for money."
"Dad, Shufeng is right. This matter cannot wait." Tian wiped her tears.
"Dad, go call Dahe and Shuwen back. It will be easier for us to get things done with more people."
"What's the use of having more people? When the government is judging a case, even if we have more people, it's just like a few eggs hitting a stone. What help can they bring back?" Yan Bing paced back and forth in the yard anxiously.
Xiaohua looked at them and suddenly stood up, "Uncle, Aunt, I want to go to Hejian."
Everyone looked at her, "Are you going to pick up Dahe and the others? They're in Pengdong, what are you doing in Hejian?"
Tian suddenly stood up and asked, "Are you going to look for Dongsheng?"
Xiaohua nodded and said, "The young lady told me before she left today that if the news from her end was bad, she would let me go to Brother Dongsheng and said that Brother Dongsheng was an official and knew some high-ranking officials, so maybe he could find someone to help. I can't wait any longer, so I'll leave tomorrow." She couldn't joke about Chunxiao's safety.
When Yan Bangfa and the others heard this, they became excited and said, "Yes, yes, let's go find Dongsheng tomorrow." If it wasn't dark, he would have wanted to set off today.
"I'll go with you." Shufeng stood up.
"You're pregnant, and if something happens on the way, it will delay us. I'll go with Xiaohua." Tian wiped her tears. At a time like this, the men in the family couldn't leave at all. She looked at Zhang and Zhou and said, "Xiaohua and I will go together. Sister-in-law, you stay home and take good care of mother and the children."
Zhang nodded, "Don't worry, sister-in-law."
The village head felt a little relieved when he saw that they finally came up with an idea.
"It's going to take some time to find someone. I'm hoping Chunxiao will come back in a couple of days. But what about the fine they mentioned today? Should we pay it or not?"
"They are crazy about money. Why should we pay fines? We don't steal or rob, and we can't even dispose of our own cotton." Zhou started to curse the corrupt officials again.
Yan Bangfa was also extremely resentful in his heart, but now he had no choice but to bow his head under the eaves. "Pay it over. We will hand over Chunxiao's 1,000 taels to the township government tomorrow, and ask about the situation and how to deal with it." If he did not accept the punishment and went against the officials at this time, he would probably suffer the consequences.
