Chapter 396: The result of the interrogation of Wan Lao Er
"Who sent you? Why are you following us? What do you want to do?"
Wan Lao Er held the bull whip and shouted at Shen Yong.
It can be seen that Shen Yong's nose has completely collapsed. He now breathes through his mouth. After being carried down by Wan Laoer, his face is full of horror.
He now keeps his distance from the father and daughter. No one in this family is easy to mess with. Why doesn't he learn a lesson?
At first he thought that only the old woman and the girl were powerful, but now it seems that the man is not a good person either. He shouldn't have volunteered to get involved in this mess. If they were sent to Hong County Government as robbers, their lives would be over.
Shen Yong's eyes kept turning, and he was thinking about how to convince Wan Laoer to let him go.
Hearing Wan Laoer's question, he immediately spilled out words like pouring beans.
"I'll tell you everything, but I have one condition. Can you let me go? We are really not robbers."
Shen Yong took a deep breath after he finished speaking.
Without saying a word, Wan Laoer whipped Shen Yong with an expression full of anger. When he thought about how these people wanted to take Fubao's life last night, he felt scared and wanted to kill them and dump their bodies, but Wan Laoer did not cross his bottom line in the end and chose to hand them over to the government.
"You have the right to negotiate now? Stop talking nonsense and tell me quickly. If you don't, I will replace you. But I will tell the county magistrate that you are the leader of these robbers and you killed someone."
Wan Laoer's eyes turned cold, and Shen Yong shuddered with fear. He thought Wan Laoer looked simple and honest, but he didn't expect him to have such a fierce side.
"No, I'll tell you, we are Mr. Zhou's men. He has sent us to secretly monitor your Shizi Village. Whenever someone from your family goes out to do something, someone will monitor them all the way, and let us take advantage of the opportunity to act. It would be best if we could catch you and find out what you are doing."
Wan Laoer's face grew darker as he listened. It was this Zhou Biao again. He really was haunting him.
Wan Laoer feels like he is a piece of fat meat, being targeted by Zhou Biao, a hungry wolf. If he doesn't get rid of the wolf, he will be in danger all the time.
But how to eliminate Zhou Biao? This is extremely difficult for Wan Laoer, after all, the difference in their status is too great.
Zhou Biao is a businessman who has been in business for many years. He is cunning and treacherous. He has a lot of wealth, a large number of slaves, and he can command servants and guards at will. But what about him?
He is a farmer who wants to open a shop and has to rely on extorting money from Zhou Biao to rent a shop. However, he wants to bring down Zhou Biao. If people knew about this, they would laugh at him and say that he is overestimating his own abilities.
But Wan Laoer felt that if he didn't get rid of him, his future life would be like walking on thin ice. While they were running the shop, they also had to be careful about being attacked from the rear.
Wan Laoer was caught in a dilemma for a moment. He had never felt so powerless before. Even when he had no money, he had never been so anxious. Now the whole village depends on him for their livelihood. Everyone has praised him to a new height. The responsibility on his shoulders is even greater, and he can't just quit.
Now his success or failure is related to the livelihood of the entire town and the expectations of the county magistrate. He can no longer give up easily.
Wan Laoer decided to take it one step at a time. People can come up with solutions, and he believed that one day, he would be able to defeat Zhou Biao and drive away this annoying fly. However, now he had to deal with the fly's followers first, as these followers were even more annoying.
Without giving any explanation, Wan Laoer grabbed Shen Yong by the back of his collar and dragged him back to the ox cart.
There were four other people on the ox cart. They watched Wan Laoer interrogate Shen Yong the whole time and realized that this man was not easy to mess with, especially the whip in his hand, which caused everyone to suffer a lot. Almost half of them were killed by this whip.
Wan Laoer glared at the rest of the people fiercely. They were so scared that they immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Wan Laoer.
Wan Laoer snorted coldly, walked over and continued driving the ox cart.
When little Fubao saw Wan Laoer coming, he quickly moved his position and moved his little butt to the side. Fubao was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, but they were so dirty that they were unbearable to look at.
Wan Laoer didn't know how to comb Fubao's hair, so he just tied a ponytail for her. It was a little loose, and after walking for less than a quarter of an hour, it was already half-disarrayed.
Wan Laoer looked at Fubao with disheveled hair and dirty body, and couldn't help thinking that raising a child was really hard work, but he didn't feel guilty at all. He thought that Fubao's happiness was the most important thing, and there was no need to dress up beautifully when going out, otherwise it would easily attract other people's covetousness.
Wan Laoer refused to admit that it was his own fault for not being able to dress his daughter up pretty, and could only comfort himself in his heart.
The father and daughter drove the ox cart to the Hong County government office together. It took them two hours to reach Hong County. Although the route was quite deviated, Wan Laoer was determined to make these people spend the rest of their lives in jail in Hong County.
The ox cart slowly drove to the gate of the county government office. It was already past lunchtime. Fubao had eaten a meat bun and drank a bowl of white porridge in the morning. Her stomach was growling with hunger, but she was very sensible and did not make a noise. Instead, she obediently followed Wan Laoer and walked into the county government office.
Several bailiffs were sitting on the steps in front of the county government office, basking in the sun lazily. Some were napping against the pillars, and some were chatting. They ignored Wan Laoer.
Wan Laoer couldn't help but wonder, in this county government office, how could these yamen runners be so lazy?
He had been to the county government office of Xuanning County several times. The yamen runners at the gate stood straight with a big knife on their waist. When they stood at the gate of the county government office, no common people dared to approach without permission, which fully demonstrated the majesty of this important government office.
But now, looking at the runners of Hongyang County Yamen, they are all sloppy, their clothes are loose, their hats are worn crookedly, they don't look like runners at all, but more like hooligans in the market.
Wan Laoer walked forward with Fubao, bowed slightly and nodded, and asked with a smile on his face: "Sir, we encountered robbers on the road and arrested them. We want to hand them over to the county government for processing. I wonder if I can see the county magistrate? Can you explain what happened?"
A yamen runner glanced at Wan Lao Er, leaned against a pillar, crossed his arms, and said condescendingly: "The master is busy with all kinds of affairs, how can a commoner like you see him whenever you want? You said you caught a robber, so he is a robber? How can a commoner like you have the ability to catch a robber? I think you are a troublemaker."
Wan Lao Er was frightened by the other party's words and immediately took a step back. He quickly bowed and said, "Sir, I did catch the robber and sent him to the county government. If the county government doesn't care, I will have no choice but to send him to the provincial capital."
"Humph, you unruly man, you dare to threaten your grandfather? I think you deserve a beating. Go around Hong County and ask around to see who dares to talk to me like that."
The bailiff took off the big knife from his waist and was ready to beat Wan Laoer together with the scabbard.
