Chapter 661: So tricky, see
As soon as the villagers came in, they shouted excitedly.
"The time has come. Are you going to give us an explanation?"
"That's right. Don't try to deny it anymore. Give us a satisfactory answer right away."
Zhao Dahe stood at the front of the villagers and remained silent, but he also did not stop the villagers from shouting.
The Black Protector stepped forward and said, "After investigation, I am sure that the man in black did not do that. Someone else did it."
When the Black Protector said this, the villagers were furious.
"I knew they were stalling for time and trying to cheat."
"That's right, what are the investigation results? It's clear that you are biased towards your own people."
"Li Zheng, please say something. We can't just let this go."
Zhao Dahe, who had been silent all the time, raised his head. Somehow, he always felt a strong sense of oppression that made him feel a little breathless.
Zhao Dahe seemed to have made up his mind and suddenly asked, "Is this the result of your investigation?"
The Black Guardian remained calm and said, "Yes, it was not the men in black who did it. As for who committed the crime, we will continue to investigate."
"Investigate? In the end, nothing is done about it?"
"Won't."
The villagers snorted coldly: "What we do here now is still up to you, right?"
"That's right. You said something nice before, saying that as long as we follow the rules here, we can live in peace. Now that we have followed the rules, do you treat us as human beings?"
The noisy sound made the Black Protector's face even darker, and the restless bloodthirsty factor that had been suppressed was already beating wildly.
"So what do you want?"
The villagers thought that the Black Protector had given in, so they boldly said, "We want to be our own masters. Since this place has been given to us to live in, it belongs to us. You cannot restrict our freedom of entry and exit. We can go wherever we want, and you cannot control us."
"Yes, the daily sweet potatoes given are too little, we need to double the amount."
"The fields we reclaim every day should also be given to us. You can't occupy them."
The villagers became more and more outrageous and took Su Ying and the others' gifts for granted.
Aunt Zhou also came here today. After hearing what the villagers said, she was so angry that she was shaking. These people are really shameless! They really treat this place as their territory.
Su Ying stood beside the Black Protector and looked at those people coldly.
There had been other people coming to the Northern Wilderness a few years ago, and she had them all rounded up. Most of them had behaved well after being rounded up, and had gradually integrated into everyone's lives.
This group of people is so tricky. This is the first time I meet them.
"Zhao Dahe, I have already given you a chance, but I didn't expect that you still let me down." Su Ying slowly stood up, and her sharp eyes fell coldly on Zhao Dahe.
She gave him the opportunity to tell the truth to the Black Protector, but he chose to conceal it in exchange for what he thought was more beneficial to their interests. This alone had touched her bottom line.
When Zhao Dahe heard the voice, his heart rose to his throat.
He looked at Su Ying in surprise. It was a completely unfamiliar face, but he would recognize this voice no matter how hard he tried, because her presence was too strong, so strong that no one could ignore her no matter where she was.
Zhao Dahe suddenly thought of the sister that Gou Wa mentioned. Could that person be Su Ying? !
This guess made Zhao Dahe's hair stand on end.
"Bring the man up."
At Su Ying's command, the men in black pressed the Li Hai brothers closer.
The villagers of Shangyao Village were full of confusion, and Li Cuihua immediately jumped out of the crowd when she saw it.
"What are you doing? Why are you arresting my son?"
Two men in black stepped forward and stopped Li Cuihua.
The Li Hai brothers had their hands and feet tied, but there didn't seem to be any injuries on their faces.
"City Lord, please spare us, City Lord, please spare us. We know we are wrong. We really know we are wrong..."
The two brothers started crying and begging for mercy as soon as they arrived, which was very confusing.
"Tell me all the stupid things you've done."
Li Hai cried out with a look of regret, "Yes, it was me and Fu Ge'er who flirted with Erni. We, we were afraid of being discovered, so we secretly put on black clothes and pretended to be men in black. Even if, even if we were discovered, no one would recognize us."
"Yes, it was us. We did it... We didn't expect to attract the men in black, nor did we expect the matter to become so serious. Please spare my life, City Lord, please spare my life..."
The two brothers kept bowing their heads.
The villagers were surprised when they heard this, but then they thought it was possible.
The Li Hai brothers used to be hooligans in the village, stealing and doing all kinds of evil things, so it was not surprising that they would do such a thing.
But they chose this critical moment, isn't this just asking for trouble?
"Li Hai, were you two brothers forced to confess under torture?"
"Yes, just speak up, we will support you."
Some villagers still didn't believe it, and at this time they were even willing to believe in the character of the two brothers.
Li Hai burst into tears, "It was us, it was really us. Erni scratched me several times in desperation that night, and there are still marks on my hands now."
The man in black stepped forward and pulled up Li Hai's arm, and sure enough, there were several scabbed scratches on it.
When Erni saw those scratches, her face turned pale instantly.
She remembered that she had automatically blocked out a lot of information out of fear that night. Now when she thought about it carefully, she remembered the other person's voice.
"It's them, it's them!" Erni said with a pale face.
"It's these two bastards!"
Now, the faces of the villagers in Shangyao Village changed.
"I, we are also confused, please ask the city lord to let us go."
Su Ying still had a cold look on her face, and she looked at the two of them as if they were two ants.
"You two intended to rape a decent woman, and even planned to frame the man in black. You deserve to be killed!"
"City Lord, spare your life, Lord, please spare your life."
"Drag the man away and beat him to death with sticks."
When these words were spoken, the villagers' faces turned pale.
Zhao Dahe knew that if Li Hai and the others were really beaten to death, their current peaceful life would be disrupted.
"City Lord, these two are indeed abominable, but their crimes do not deserve the death penalty..."
"They are not guilty of capital crimes? They premeditatedly put on the clothes of the men in black and committed evil deeds. This is clearly an attempt to sow discord between you and the men in black. Their intentions are so sinister that they deserve to be chopped into pieces. Drag them away!"
The men in black took Li Hai and the other man directly to the yard and tortured them on a bench.
"Ah! Help, head of the village, help me..."
"We know we're wrong, we really know we're wrong..."
The cries of pain gradually died down, and the faces of the villagers in Shangyao Village changed unpredictably.
This stick not only hit Li Hai and the others, but also hit their faces!
