Duan Qingxi raised his eyebrows, Zhu Cheng?
She thought this person was called Piglet!
Zhu Cheng straightened his back, looking like a smug villain. "Go ahead and curse me. Wait until the adults catch those women, and then I'll see how much more you can curse me!"
When the village chief and Liu Ergou heard this, their faces suddenly changed.
"You bastard! They are just some old, weak, women and children. Why did you arrest them?!"
It was their fault for being careless. Zhu Cheng had always known where they were hiding. If they had known they were here earlier, they should have asked Uncle Hu to take them away.
But these officers are not fools. I'm afraid they had already surrounded and captured the people before they arrived here.
Zhu Chengdao said, "As the saying goes, if you don't remove the roots, they will grow again. Even though they are just a bunch of bitches and brats, if we don't capture them, what if they really run into the people from the imperial court? Wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"
The village chief was surprised and asked, "Did the imperial court really send someone down?"
Zhu Cheng was stunned and asked, "Why? So you didn't know?"
After a pause, he sneered again, "But it doesn't make any difference whether you know or not. You'll all be dead soon anyway!"
As he said this, he looked at the leading officer and said, "Sir, arrest them all quickly!"
"Someone! Take them all away!"
Xuan Yi and Xuan Er wanted to take action, but Duan Qingxi secretly stopped them.
The most important thing now is to make sure that the villagers are all safe. These people... are nothing to be afraid of!
The officers and soldiers did not kill them on the spot, but took them to prison.
What made Duan Qingxi feel fortunate was that the villagers who had been framed by Zhu Cheng before were all fine and were now all imprisoned in the prison.
When the villagers saw the village chief and Liu Ergou and others, they were also very excited. After the officials left, they surrounded the village chief and said that they had all been tricked by Zhu Cheng.
And they regret it now. If they had not been so impulsive and listened to Zhu Cheng, they would not have been arrested at this moment, and they would not have implicated the village chief.
The village chief didn't want to blame them too much at this moment. After all, no one expected that Zhu Cheng and others would collude with the officials.
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. We should think about how to leave."
Liu Ergou sighed again and said, "I don't know how Sister Lin and the others are doing now. I hope Uncle Hu can take them into hiding quickly so that they don't get caught by that bastard official's men!"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions looked unhappy.
It doesn't matter if they die, but Mrs. Lin and the children are their hope. If even they are caught, then their villages will be completely wiped out!
Everyone was in a bad mood, and the officers looked ferocious, so everyone just sat down on the ground and didn't say anything.
Xuan Yi and Xuan Er protected Duan Qingxi and sat down in a corner, and Xuan Yi even took off his coat to use as a cushion for her to sit on.
Everyone knew that Xuan Yi and Xuan Er loved Duan Qingxi very much, so they didn't think there was anything wrong.
Perhaps knowing they were doomed, someone asked Duan Qingxi, "Xiaoxi, which village are you from? I don't think I've ever seen you before."
When they were taken in, the three brothers and sisters looked very miserable and had injuries on their bodies. In addition, they did a lot of things for the villagers later, so no one investigated their origins and no one thought to ask more questions.
Duan Qingxi had actually already made up a story in his mind, but now there was no need to lie anymore.
She smiled and said, "Well... well, how should I put it? Anyway, you'll know soon."
