Chapter 365 Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?
No matter how those people from the Wang family shouted at them, Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu did not show any mercy.
While waiting for the officials, Zhang Juexia was worried that Mrs. Shen was too tired from standing, so he persuaded her and Wang Guilan to go home and rest.
Madam Shen sighed, "How can there be such relatives in this world? This is not a relative at all, this is simply a blood-sucking person!"
Wang Guilan angrily snorted at the group, "These people are really disgusting enough. Take that Third Uncle, who is so old, and yet he still has the nerve to act like a human being and cause trouble. He just spent money."
"Since ancient times, money makes the world go round! Come on, old sister, let's leave this place to the young people!"
Seeing that everyone was about to disperse, the bound Wang family member shouted to the crowd, "Don't be too happy too soon. When the officials come, we don't know what to do with you!"
Zhang Juexia gave Ren Tianxing a look, and Ren Tianxing went up and slapped him, "You'd better shut up! You're in this state, and you still think someone is really going to save you."
The man covered the painful half of his face with his hand in dissatisfaction, "I'm telling the truth. A nephew of the Liu family who is within the fifth degree of mourning just passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. His father-in-law is also an official in the county, and I heard he has a close relationship with the county magistrate.
I tell you, if you know what's good for you, just let us go. If you hand over the person, maybe we'll let you go this time."
Ren Tianxing was furious, "You're still rebelling against me. You're so shameless."
Snap, snap, snap, and a few more times, Zhang Juexia felt pain when hearing it.
"Okay, Lao Ren, stop it first. I have something to ask him."
The man's face was beaten like a pig's head, but he still turned his head away unconvinced, his words slurred, "You...you...have something to ask, I'll tell you."
Zhang Juexia was not annoyed. He walked up to a woman with a smile. After all, she was the most noisy among the group of women.
"This sister-in-law looks kind-hearted. If he doesn't say anything, you will."
The woman glared at Zhang Juexia and said, "Why should I say that?"
Zhang Juexia reached out and pulled the big knife from Ren Tianxing's hand, "Sister-in-law, when you entered our village, you must have asked about it!
In the past, our village relied on hunting for a living.
so what......"
Zhang Juexia deliberately measured the woman's face with the knife, "We are all very lively here. Think about it, the prey is alive. If we want to catch it, we need some real skills. It's really impossible."
The woman's face turned green with fear. "I'll tell you, I'll tell you, and that's not enough. Stop scaring me."
"Tell me, whose idea was it to send you to our village to cause trouble? Also, how did you know Song Yu's whereabouts?
Who was the one who arranged the marriage between Jin Jie'er and the Liu family?
If you don’t tell me, believe it or not, I will first make your face look messy, and then…”
The woman was so frightened that she began to cry. "Don't scare me, my lady. I'm going to tell you everything I know, okay? Please put the knife away first, okay?"
Zhang Juexia threw the knife to Ren Tianxing. Ren Tianxing stood in front of the woman with the knife in his hand and said, "If you dare to tell a lie, you'll get what you deserve!"
The woman nodded repeatedly, "No, no."
"Then tell me quickly!"
"Jin Jie'er's uncle has three sons. They are almost at marriageable age. But their family's life has become increasingly difficult since Song Yu, the money-maker, passed away. They even have a hard time getting food, so how can they afford to arrange marriages?"
"Stop, it's too much trouble if you keep talking like that. What's your relationship with Jin Jie'er's grandparents?"
"They are my husband's second uncle and second aunt."
"Oh, so Jin Jie'er has to call you Auntie too! Then who is Jin Jie'er's great uncle and great aunt?"
The woman didn't hesitate at all and quickly pointed at the two people huddled in the corner.
"It seems that the money Jinjie'er's grandparents promised you was very generous! Otherwise, how could you work so hard?"
"They said that anyone who came would be given one ounce of silver per head, and a good meal would be provided upon their return. What about him?"
Zhang Juexia pointed at his third uncle. Because of his age, everyone treated him kindly and did not tie him up.
But after the fight just now, this uncle was already scared to death.
"As for him, my second uncle and second aunt said that my third uncle is old, and letting him come along mainly makes it seem like there's someone in charge of the entire Wang family.
And he was promised two taels of silver and twenty catties of rice, otherwise he would not do it."
"Where are Sister Jin'er's grandparents?"
"They didn't come. They said they were preparing food at home and waiting for us to bring people back."
"You have nothing to do with this, just shut up!"
Zhang Juexia came up to the two parties and asked, "Are you Jin Jie'er's uncle and aunt?"
Even if the two of them wanted to cheat, they couldn't do it.
"Laifu and Laifu's wife, stop hiding. Everyone is in this situation now. Just say whatever you need to say when someone asks you!"
"That's right, that's right."
Wang Laifu raised his head and glared, "You guys came here just for the money, didn't you?
Besides, the reason you are in this state is because you are incompetent."
"Wang Laifu, if you have the guts, say it again!"
The hot-tempered man struggled to deal with Wang Lai Fu.
Wang Laifu stuck his head out and said, "Isn't what I said the truth? What did you say when you came here?
He said he must bring Sister Jin back. Humph, where is Sister Jin?
I'm telling you, don't try to be tough with me. If you can't bring Sister Jin back, don't even think about getting the money."
"Wang Laifu, are you still a human being? Who was it that went from house to house begging us, saying that if we just showed up, we'd give us a tael of silver?"
After you come here, if you perform well, you will be given food when you return.
Is this what you said?"
Zhang Juexia stood aside and watched coldly, thinking to himself, nothing has happened yet, and already the internal strife has begun.
However, this is not the time to fight yet. It won’t be too late to fight after returning to the village.
"Shut up, everyone! If anyone disobeys, I'll scratch your face right away."
Ren Tianxing was wielding a big knife in a pretentious manner.
"Wang Laifu, I want to ask you, who told you about Song Yu's whereabouts, and about Jin Jie'er's matter? Who gave you the idea?"
Wang Laifu glared at Zhang Juexia, "Song Yu is a human being, she has legs! I ran into her on the street, isn't that okay?
And Jin Jie'er, I'm her uncle, how could I possibly harm her? If anything good happens, I have to stick with her."
