Xiao Zhu and his companions were worried that their identities would be exposed, and they were even more worried that the village chief would really send people to find those people sent by the court. They were worried that everything would be exposed, and the promises made to them by the county magistrate would become a bubble.
In order to help the county magistrate better deal with these villagers, Xiao Zhu and his men used some unknown method to instigate most of the people to go into the city to kill the corrupt officials.
After learning about this, the village chief became extremely anxious.
If Xiao Zhu and the others are in cahoots with the county magistrate, then those who were tricked into following them will probably be in great danger.
The village chief was just trying to find a way to stop them when Liu Ergou rushed in.
"Village chief, something bad has happened! Uncle Hu just came back and said something happened to Xiao Zhu and the others! They were arrested by the police after entering the city, and many people were beaten to death. When the villagers heard about this, everyone rushed to rescue them!"
When the village chief heard this, he was so angry that he stood up.
"What?! They all ran off to town?!"
The conspiracy of Xiao Zhu and his gang is obvious at a glance!
They first tricked some of them away, so that if they reported back that something had happened, the rest of the people would rush over impulsively to save them.
"Yes!" Liu Ergou was also very anxious. He said, "I thought this was unusual, so I asked Uncle Hu to stop some of the people and come over to tell you!"
Upon hearing this, the village chief patted Liu Ergou on the shoulder and said, "Ergou, you did a great job! I'll go and explain to the villagers what's going on."
Duan Qingxi watched the village chief, Liu Ergou and others leave, frowning with mixed feelings. She had underestimated Xiao Zhu and didn't expect him to be so good at talking.
But it's also true that these villagers have no sense of vigilance at all. Plus, they are all brothers who have shared hardships, so they probably wouldn't have thought that the brothers they trusted so much would actually betray and plot against them like this.
After following him up, the village chief gathered everyone together and found that there were only about ten people left out of the original forty or fifty people, and they were all the elderly, the weak, women and children. Almost all the strong people had been deceived and left.
The village chief was furious. After he explained the situation to them, the remaining villagers became very anxious as well.
The village chief said, "You women should stay where you are. I will take Liu Ergou and the others to scout out the enemy situation. If there is any accident..."
The village chief looked at Uncle Hu and said, "You guys take them and run for your lives. Remember, you must protect them well!"
Although Uncle Hu also wanted to go, he understood what the village chief meant. Someone had to stay here to protect it, so he could only nod.
After the village chief took Liu Ergou and the others away, Duan Qingxi, Xuan Yi and Xuan Er also found an opportunity to follow them.
It was not until they entered the city that the village chief discovered that they were following him, but it was not easy for him to drive them back.
The city was deserted, with almost no one around, and not a single person to be seen on the streets.
Liu Ergou said: "Village Chief, there is no one here..."
At this moment, many officers and soldiers suddenly appeared and surrounded them.
At this time, the leading officer appeared with Xiao Zhu.
The leading officer laughed heartily and said, "What a bunch of idiots! They've really delivered themselves to our door!"
Duan Qingxi had known this would be the result, so he wasn't surprised at all.
She followed them because this was a trap they set, and she wanted to make sure that all the captured villagers were still alive.
Xiao Zhu stood aside, looking at the leading officer and flatteringly said, "Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir, you have accomplished another great feat!"
The leading officer felt very comfortable with the flattery and was very proud of himself.
Liu Ergou couldn't stand seeing Xiao Zhu like this and shouted angrily, "Zhu Cheng! You bastard, you even betrayed your own brothers and relatives. Are you still human?!"
