Chapter 358 I have never met anyone who actively seeks to be bullied!
"They still have some conscience!" Boss Xu sighed.
Old Fourth Wu continued: "But it's useless to have a conscience. Five lives have been lost in our village at once. None of them can escape! Send them all to the government and wait for execution in the autumn."
"Yes, send them to the government! Let them kill and pay for their lives!" The other men who were drinking millet porridge put down their bowls, their eyes slightly red and shouting angrily.
The King of Yan did rebel, but the King of Yan and the court were too far away from Shanshui Village, especially the King of Yan's rebellion was a recent event, the official is still the official, and the yamen runners are still there. These bandits killed people and should pay for their lives.
All the people present waited for the trial to be over, and after writing the charges, they would send these people to the government office at dawn and wait for the government to decide.
They could not kill these bandits privately, especially nearly a hundred people, but with the official around, these bandits would definitely die.
Shuiqing was not a native villager after all. When she was in China, she read a lot of novels about power struggles, palace fights, and disasters. She had never eaten pork, but she had seen pigs run. Seeing that the villagers thought simply, she did not say anything, but followed silently.
The villagers were honest and didn't know that these bandits were no longer human. They had survived the flood until now, and they were all fat and strong with red eyes. I'm afraid they were more terrible than evil ghosts. How could they have any conscience!
Xu Laosan was in charge of interrogating a group of bandits led by Zhu Laoda. When he saw his eldest brother and Shuiqing coming with a large group of people, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and went forward to explain to Shuiqing: "Sister-in-law Shuiqing, this guy is very stubborn!
He didn't reveal anything, and insisted on seeing the officials. Let's send them to the government."
It's really strange. How can a bandit take the initiative to ask to see the officials? Isn't this looking for death?
Boss Xu, Li Wen, Li Wu, Wang Lao Ba and others were also confused and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say something like cutting off his ears and nose to scare them?"
"I did! How could I not say it? But they were not afraid at all. You know, I can kill chickens, ducks and rabbits, but I dare not cut people's ears and noses.
When I hesitated, this boss Zhu saw it. Not only did he not say it himself, he also instigated the people around him not to say it." Xu Lao San was anxious but did not forget to lower his voice and told the current situation again.
He thought that he had followed Mr. Bai to deliver goods several times and was a man who had seen the world. He never missed every time he went to the capital city. He also injured several bandits twice. He thought it would be easy for him to interrogate these ten people. Only when he really started did he know where he was lacking!
He was indeed good at swarming up and killing bandits, because he didn't want other people's lives, but these people wanted his life, but he couldn't do it after tying them up and asking him to cut them.
He was suppressed everywhere afterwards.
He complained aggrievedly: "No matter what I said, Boss Zhu just yelled at us to send them to the officials, saying that we have no right to interrogate them, only the officials can do it!"
Shui Qing: ..... I can't tell that Boss Zhu is still a person who understands the law?
Then he suddenly laughed. The laws of China are not applicable to Ming Dynasty. Let alone bandits, even if the villagers caught thieves and kidnappers, they would be beaten to death. What is the power or no power?
The fact that Boss Zhu said this can only prove that he is not afraid of seeing the officials, and even hopes to see the officials!
Why would a bandit want to see the officials?
There is only one reason, that is, he knows that the officials will protect him!
Boss Zhu raised his red and swollen eyelids and swollen head, and saw that the man who interrogated him actually talked to a woman, and he wanted to laugh immediately.
The smile pulled up the corners of his mouth, and he hissed, it hurts!
Although these men in the village have no brains, they have a lot of strength in their hands, and that thing is not poison at all, but chili! I don’t know who came up with the idea, but peppers can be made into water sprays, and the key effect is much better than eating peppers!
However, "Hey, a woman, what's the point of coming here if she doesn't stay at home to take care of the children?"
Boss Zhu spoke in front, and his younger brothers and followers laughed at him in the back: "A woman should stay at home to warm the bed!"
"What, you can't lift the knife and let a woman take it? I'll leave my words here, as long as you dare to use the knife, you will be in trouble when you see the official!"
"We are just entering the village, how can you abuse private punishment? Killing or cutting is a decision that only the officials can make. I advise you to wait until dawn to send our brothers to see the officials, don't think that a woman can change the situation."
"What can a woman do? Don't laugh at us."
"I can't say it, let alone a woman, but if you send your daughter to warm the bed for me, I might say it, hahaha"
Shui Qing stepped forward, took the long knife from Xu Lao San's hand, and with a swish, a piece of ear fell off.
Damn, I've never met someone who takes the initiative to cut!
She had not originally thought of using a knife, but now she realized that it was okay to use a knife, and even felt relieved to hear the laughter stop.
"Ahhh"
"You, you bitch"
Xu Laosan and others saw Shui Qing's knife falling, very neatly, and stepped forward without hesitation. They only heard the sound of swishing, and more than ten people cut off a piece of ear each in a very fair and just manner.
Suddenly, wailing filled the field, which was spectacular.
The other groups of bandits raised their heads to look over here, trembling all over.
Boss Zhu could be the leader of this group of desperate criminals, so his pain tolerance was naturally a little better. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Even if you cut our ears, we won't say it!"
"See what's the use of you cutting it!"
However, this time there were no other brothers to agree, and the words were much cleaner and more respectful.
Shuiqing raised the corner of her lips and smiled and replied: "It's not necessary, at least we feel relieved, right?"
Xu Laosan kept nodding, almost bursting into tears!
He had been laughed at by these bandits here before, but he didn't expect that Sister Shuiqing turned the situation around as soon as she came. The most important thing was that she said the wrong thing about his heart, which was really relieved!
Incomparably happy and comfortable.
He came forward, and at this moment he was even more respectful to Shuiqing and asked: "Sister Shuiqing, how should we ask?
If they continue not to say anything, should we continue to cut?"
The men around Zhu Laoda couldn't stop shaking all over, it hurts!
This woman in front of him is really ruthless and doesn't say much. She came up with a knife without saying a word! She is much more ruthless than the men who interrogated them. Isn't it said that women are kind?
How can this woman be as kind as a woman?
Shuiqing's eyebrows were smiling, and her smile was very gentle, "No need."
After hearing this, a group of men around Zhu Laoda breathed a sigh of relief.
They could barely bear the pain of one ear. They were indeed ignorant country women. How could they interrogate people like this?
Then he angrily thought that he cut off one of their ears, but he couldn't get any questions out of them. Wasn't it cut in vain?
"Old Third, spray them with more pepper water. Don't save it. Spray it every other stick of incense."
The pepper water is not fatal, but it is painful.
