Chapter 275 Theft
The three hangers-on were even more desperate. They had run so far just to catch the eldest daughter of the Song family.
Mr. Xue said that as long as Song Liyun is brought back, everyone will receive a reward of ten taels of silver.
Before the three of them stepped onto the eaves, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from behind Madam Yun.
The thing had an amazing bounce, it jumped up and landed directly on the shoulder of the person running in front.
The man didn't even know what was happening. He just felt his eyes go dark and the severe pain on his head made him scream in pain.
Beside him, two people were stunned by the scene before them. They saw that the leader's entire scalp had been peeled off, revealing white bones from the roots of his hair. In a flash, blood flowed down his cheeks like a fountain.
After Heijin succeeded in his attack, he immediately jumped back to Madam Yun and grinned at the remaining two people.
Only after seeing the blood did Heijin calm down.
Now Song Liyun has restrained it. Without the master's order, it can only hurt people but not kill people at will. Otherwise, its eyes would have been gouged out as it did just now.
Seeing the black and gold's bloody fangs and big mouth, the three henchmen were terrified. Instead of trying to catch anyone, they turned around and ran away, shouting as they ran: "Monsters are killing people, monsters are killing people, there's a monster!"
The injured man was the last one to fall behind, and he had no idea what was happening.
I was so scared that my heart and liver were about to burst. I felt a chilling pain on the top of my head, and my face was sticky and wet, as if I was sweating.
While several people were still fighting in the front yard, they heard three people running out from the side yard in panic.
When Captain Jiang turned around, he saw a bloody man rushing out, with the scalp on his head flapping as he ran.
"Oh my god! Mom!"
Skinning people alive!
Song Laoer had never seen such a horrible thing before. He was so scared that his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground.
Captain Jiang and the other two yamen runners were also frightened by the blood-gourd-like man. They were distracted for a moment and were controlled by Han Ming and Xue Zhuang.
"Three police officers, I urge you to calm down. My boss is a law-abiding person and would never do something like marriage fraud and theft. Is there some misunderstanding here?"
Han Ming ignored the bloody man and first took off the captain's belt and tied his hands tightly.
Han Ming and others did not intend to kill these three government officials. They just wanted to stop them and prevent them from capturing the Song Zhenping brothers.
Captain Jiang is also a well-known figure in Songfeng County and is highly valued by the county magistrate, so he came to Suijin Town to capture the fugitive.
Now the fugitive is right in front of him, but he is being tied up and told to "calm down". How can he remain calm under such humiliation?
He spat angrily, "The imperial law stipulates: Anyone who dares to assault an official shall be punished with eighty strokes of the cane and exiled three thousand miles. You will die!"
Han Ming chuckled and said, "Don't worry about that, my lord. If you can't go back, I won't be punished!"
Han Ming was originally a fugitive slave, and he got here after hiding from place to place for many years.
He didn't care about the exile that others feared.
Maybe he will follow his boss to the grassland and never return to Wu Dynasty, where he will still drink and eat meat with his mouthfuls of wine.
Seeing that Han Ming was not afraid at all, Captain Jiang broke out in a cold sweat.
Only then did he remember that Suijin Town was not an ordinary place. The people who survived here were all sand workers who escaped the tragedy that year.
A wise man will not suffer a loss in front of him. Threatening a desperado will only lead to a quick death.
"Good man, let's talk it over. We are also working for the government and have no other choice."
Captain Jiang was scared and immediately gave in and begged for mercy.
At this time, the yard was filled with screams, wails, and sounds of fighting.
Song Lizheng, Song Dekui, and the two brothers Song Zhenping were sitting in the house talking.
After not seeing each other for a year, everyone wants to know something.
Song Lizheng said bitterly: "Daping, it was Lizheng who wronged you two and made you two suffer."
No one wants to talk about the past, as Song Zhenping will have nightmares whenever he thinks about it.
Xiao An even shouted, "Uncle, don't say it! Don't say it! I won't go back!"
Hearing Xiao An say that he would not go back, Song Lizheng's face turned even more bitter: "How can the government let you go?"
Although only three police officers came from Songfeng County, they brought along people to assist in investigating the same case.
All government offices in the world are one family. As long as Captain Jiang sends the documents to the county government office here, the Qili County Government will take action to arrest people.
Song Zhenping's face turned frighteningly pale. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you insist on falsely accusing me of colluding with thieves, I will take the blame alone."
When he heard Song Dekui say that his second uncle's house had been ransacked and all the firewood piles in the house had been moved away, he already understood exactly where the things in Yun'er's treasure bag came from when he first arrived in Suijin Town.
Those familiar hoes and clothes were not in the treasure bag at all.
The so-called theft was collected by the second sister using the treasure bag, and the thief was Yun'er.
Song Zhenping was shocked and frightened because the boxes and cabinets of farm tools were still in Baolinju.
If the authorities came to search, they would definitely discover the theft and confirm it.
But he couldn't say that.
He gritted his teeth and decided that if his second uncle found the lost property, he would admit to the theft and take all the responsibility.
Whether it's imprisonment or exile, as long as Yun'er and Xiao'an are safe, that's enough.
But before that, he had to take care of Yun'er's marriage.
The village head said that after Yun'er ran away with him, Mr. Xue came to demand her back with the indenture.
As a result, Song Liyun escaped and Song Shuirong was captured to pay off the debt.
Although he had a good life and wore gold and silver, his life was very hard following an old pervert who was buried in the earth up to his neck.
Song Zhenping had no sympathy at all.
Song Shuirong had always dreamed of a life with good food and drink and someone to serve her, and this was finally what she had wished for.
What's more, if Yun'er hadn't escaped, it would be his sister who would be suffering now.
Now the Xue family has come looking for her again, and they want to use the indenture to force Yun'er to go back and live the same kind of life.
Song Zhenping's eyes were bloodshot and cold.
I am the older brother and have been protected by my younger sister for a year. It’s time for me to do something practical.
So many things happened in Baolinju, but it actually only took less than half an hour. Captain Luo, who got the news, rushed over with a dozen soldiers.
He strode into the door and followed the soldiers who dispersed to surround Baolinju.
The arrival of Captain Luo eased the tense and awkward atmosphere in Baolin Residence.
Han Ming and others tied up Captain Jiang, but they couldn't really kill him.
It is said that it is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away, and once he is tied up, it is difficult to let him go.
Captain Jiang was also very scared.
The arrest of the constable is punishable by death.
If the other party goes all out, I'll have to give up all my 100 pounds of flesh here.
As Captain Luo came in, he shouted and scolded Han Ming, asking him to release the man. Then, seeing the Xue family hanger-on covered in blood, he quickly asked someone to send him to the garrison to have the medical staff bandage him.
He called Song Zhenping out to console him, saying, "This is Suijin Town, a military town. No one dares to cross the garrison and do whatever they want."
Everyone present understood the meaning of his words. He was warning Captain Jiang not to do anything tricky under the nose of the garrison.
After a near-death experience, Captain Jiang had lost all the fighting spirit he had when he first arrived and was filled with gratitude to Captain Luo for saving his life.
Song Lao Er was also awakened by a spit of cold water. He looked around and panicked. He ran to Captain Jiang and said, "Captain Jiang, my wife is missing."
