The man looked puzzled and asked, "What does this mean?"
At this moment, it seemed that quite a few people were walking towards this side.
The villagers thought that the official was coming to do something to them, so they all became alert.
Unexpectedly, several officers arrested Mrs. Lin and the others.
Mrs. Lin and the others were still very frightened at first, but after seeing the village chief and others, they all felt relieved.
The village chief and others were very anxious, but with the officials present, they did not dare to say anything.
One cell could not accommodate too many people, so Mrs. Lin and the others were locked up in the cell next door.
After the officials left, the villagers quickly talked to them and asked if they had any problems.
Mrs. Lin and the others answered one after another, saying that nothing was wrong with anyone. When the officers went to arrest them, they did not dare to resist and followed them obediently, so they were not hurt.
The village chief and others breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Liu Ergou asked, "Where's Uncle Hu? Where did he go?"
Sister Lin said, "Uncle Hu originally wanted to take us away from that place, but then he went to explore the way and we were caught by the officials. I don't know how he is now."
But no one is worried about Uncle Hu, after all, he is quite capable.
Everyone just hopes that Uncle Hu won’t confront the officers for them, otherwise it will be troublesome!
Everyone was detained for a day and a night. The next morning, the county magistrate came with his men.
With a head full of fat and a belly that's about seven or eight months old, he fits the image of a corrupt official.
After first glancing at everyone, the county magistrate snorted disdainfully, "Weren't you very powerful before? You even wanted to kill me. Don't you see what kind of people you are?"
After a pause, he said, "Come here! Capture these few of them for me!"
The police arrested Liu Ergou and several younger men and brought them before the county magistrate.
The village chief and his men were also very anxious, but they knew that this was the county magistrate's territory and they had no chance of confronting the county magistrate.
Liu Ergou and his companions struggled for a while, but couldn't get free, so they were too lazy to move anymore.
Xuan Yi and Xuan Er glanced at Duan Qingxi, and after seeing Duan Qingxi shake his head slightly, they didn't dare to move.
The county magistrate sat comfortably in his chair, looking at Liu Ergou and the others who were being forced to kneel before him by the officers. He said, "I see that you are promising young men, and I cannot bear to see you die. So... if you sign your names on these papers and obey me, I can spare your lives."
As he spoke, another officer handed them several pieces of paper covered with words, and there was someone holding a pen next to them.
Liu Ergou had read a little bit after all, so he roughly understood what was written on it, and his face suddenly changed.
"You bastard official! Don't even think about it!"
Others didn’t understand what was written on it, but seeing Liu Ergou’s reaction, they knew that what was written on the paper was definitely not a good thing.
The county magistrate did not expect that Liu Ergou was so ungrateful and dared to call him a dog official. He was immediately very angry.
"How dare you, you rascal, insult me! Come on, teach him a lesson!"
The village chief and others became anxious and kept shouting Liu Ergou's name. Some even worried that the county magistrate would really kill Liu Ergou, so Mrs. Lin and others knelt down and begged for mercy from the county magistrate.
Unfortunately, the county magistrate did not take them seriously.
After the officers tied Liu Ergou up on the cross rack, the county magistrate ordered him to be whipped.
Liu Ergou was a tough guy. Even when he was beaten and covered in blood, he still gritted his teeth and didn't cry out. However, the others were trembling with fear when they saw him.
After Liu Ergou was beaten unconscious, the county magistrate had someone come forward with a piece of paper and forced Liu Ergou to put his finger print on it.
