It turned out that Yu Pingan, Jiang Haiyang, and Yu Erzhu and his wife were each escorting four people, and they came over in a grand procession.
Two of them were from Zizhu Village, but the other two were unfamiliar and probably not from the village.
Yu Chengyuan glanced at the Yu brothers, Yu Dabao and Yu Dabao. Yu Dabao's expression was unsettling, but his eyes showed panic. He didn't dare to look in that direction.
Yu Chengyuan sneered: Now you know fear!
He thought he was so stubborn!
It seems he's still not as stubborn as a mule; today he's just waiting to see the two brothers make a fool of themselves.
"Hey kid, are these the people who spread rumors?"
Zhou Jianguo approached Yu Chengyuan, nudged him under the armpit, and asked in a low voice.
Yu Chengyuan nodded, "Yes, Uncle Zhou is incredibly insightful!"
"Hehe, you're really awesome, kid. I knew I was right about you."
But how did you know it was these few?
They even sent them to arrest people?
Zhou Jianguo was full of curiosity; he had to admire the young man's efficiency.
With the testimonies of these individuals, his reputation was salvaged.
"Uncle Zhou, don't ask anymore, it's a secret. Just watch the show later."
Besides, don't we have more important things to do right now?
Yu Chengyuan gave a vague and perfunctory reply, saying that this was not the time to talk about this, and that important business was more important.
"Yes, yes, let's take care of business first."
Zhou Jianguo nodded repeatedly, and then stopped asking questions.
"Yu Chengyuan, aren't you being a bit too funny?"
Do you think I'd believe you if you asked your older brother and second uncle to find some peasants to act in your play?
"Aren't you being incredibly naive, pulling this kind of trick in front of all of us?"
As soon as Yu Erbao finished speaking, Yu Dabao walked to his second brother's side, his body trembling uncontrollably, and stammered, "Second brother, please stop talking."
We're in big trouble..."
Yu Dabao's expression changed, and he quickly tugged at his second brother's sleeve.
Yu Erbao then noticed that his older brother's face had changed and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, why are your legs shaking so badly?"
You just said we're in big trouble, what's wrong?
Since everything was arranged by Yu Dabao, Yu Erbao didn't know those people.
He thought Yu Chengyuan was just being presumptuous and hiring people to put on a show, but he never imagined that he was the clown himself.
"Those are the people I hired to spread rumors, Second Brother, what do we do now?"
Yu Dabao was indeed scared.
Even if he doesn't understand the law, he knows that his behavior constitutes defamation and slander, which is punishable by imprisonment.
So he really started to get scared.
Upon hearing this, Yu Erbao's pupils contracted slightly, and he thought to himself: What kind of useless people has this good-for-nothing found? They're all useless.
However, Yu Erbao quickly adjusted his mindset and said, "Big brother, don't panic."
Anyway, they didn't see it with their own eyes, so you can just deny it.
Remember this: even if you die later, you must never admit that you paid these people to come.
Just say you don't know them.
Yu Erbao gave instructions.
At this point, there is no better way.
"I understand, second brother, I'll listen to you."
Yu Dabao nodded, then tried his best to calm himself down.
"Yu Erbao, didn't you just keep saying you wanted evidence?"
I've found the evidence for you now.
"Open your dog eyes and look! These are the people you two brothers hired to spread rumors."
Yu Chengyuan pointed to the four people being held captive and continued, “Fellow villagers, these four are the people who have been spreading rumors and causing trouble in the village these past two days. They took money from the Yu brothers to do things for them.”
These two women are from the neighboring Stone Village; one is named Zhang Cuihua, and the other is Gao Xiuyun.
The other two men are probably familiar to everyone; they are from our village.
One is Xu Gou Dan, a lazy good-for-nothing; the other is Qin Er Gou, an old bachelor.
"Yu Chengyuan, don't make false accusations. We didn't ask them to spread rumors."
We do not accept such a frame-up.
I don't recognize two of them, and I don't remember the other two either. Are they from our village?
Yu Erbao didn't even glance at the four of them and started to play dumb.
“Yes, Yu Chengyuan, don’t talk nonsense. My brother and I don’t know any of those people.”
Yu Erbao wasn't completely stupid this time, and immediately echoed his second brother's words.
"Yu Dabao, you little rascal, didn't you tell us to spread rumors?"
They said that all we had to do was spread the word throughout the village that Yu Erzhu and his wife had embezzled Wang's property and even gave half of it to the eldest son of the Yu family.
They even made us accuse the village chief and Erzhu's wife of having an affair.
"We'll only do it if you pay us ten dollars a day."
"That's right, that's right, it was Yu Dabao who told us to spread rumors."
They even said it didn't matter, and that no one would find out.
"Now the two of you are denying everything and want the four of us to take the blame? Dream on!"
Several people started arguing loudly, each offering their own explanation.
Yu Dabao almost jumped up, his neck stiff as he said, "Don't talk nonsense. I told you it has nothing to do with me, I don't know you."
Yu Erbao said hypocritically, "My eldest brother is the most honest person, how could he possibly do such a thing?"
Don't slander my elder brother.
Furthermore, one must not listen to the words of petty people.
Yu Chengyuan burst into laughter, clapping his hands, "Hahaha..."
Yu Erbao, with so many witnesses right in front of you, you still refuse to admit it and keep making excuses. You're hopeless.
