Chapter 392 It’s Not Too Big a Deal

Third Grandpa said: "You are not too stupid to ask that."

After hearing this, Gu Dashan felt his heart pounding and asked, "Are An Geer and Xiaoyu really going to return the mule cart? They didn't stay at Wenyuan's house tonight, so where did they go?"

Third Grandpa said: "Of course we go to the county government office."

Not only did he go to the county government, he also sued the Lu family, and the lawsuit was successful.

Not long after, Wang Yongfu and Luo's father, including men from several families, came to see the third grandfather and asked him what was going on.

The third grandpa thought that the government officials had come to the Lu family to arrest people, and the matter was half done. He did not hide it anymore, and wrote to Mr. Xue to tell Xiaoyu that Mr. Lu might be a runaway slave; , I told them about going to the county government office to report the Lu family in the evening.

After hearing this, the men were all surprised: "Such a big thing has happened... Then, what should we do now?"

The third grandfather said: "Don't do anything, just go back to your home immediately. It's not yet dawn, and the Lu family has not been sentenced yet. We can't let go. Everyone, go home, be alert, and take care of the women and children at home. Don't go." What fun is there to watch? It’s chaos now, and the Lu family has Zhang Niuzi’s gang of thugs. It would be terrible if the Lu family jumps over the wall and fights us to the death.”

After hearing this, the faces of several men changed: "Yes, yes, yes, we have to go home, but we can't let anything happen at home."

All the family members ran home, blocked the door, and sat in the main room to guard, fearing that someone would come in and cause trouble.

Third Grandpa asked Lao Zhu and his son to get up and patrol around the end of the village. If they saw anyone suspicious, they would immediately bang the clapper to notify everyone.

Wang Yongfu did not go back, but sat in the yard of Gu Jinli's house and watched.

He is a servant bought by Gu Jinli's family. He is good at boxing and kicking, so he should protect Gu Jinli's family first.

…

At three o'clock in the middle of the night, the entire Dafeng Village became completely lively. The villagers lit torches and rushed to the Lu family's mansion.

Team Leader Yang and the others had already arrested everyone in the Lu Family Mansion, tied them up with ropes, and dragged them one by one out of the Lu Family Mansion.

Luo Wu took out the seal and sealed the front door, back door and corner door of the Lu family mansion.

Team leader Yang left four government officials to guard the Lu family's mansion and said to Village Chief He: "I have to ask you about some things about Mr. Lu when he was young. You have to follow us to the county government office."

"Hey, hey, go, the old man will definitely go." Village Chief He was still excited, wishing he could go to the county government office now so that he could quickly sentence Mr. Lu.

However, the crime of running away from a slave is not so easy to convict. Although there is a witness like Mr. Xue, the files still have to be checked. The Linglong Painting Boat where Mr. Lu sold himself is in Jinling Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. When he went to Jinling Mansion to check the files, there was no one there. Ten days is not enough.

When the Lu family saw that Mr. Lu and his family were arrested, they were all frightened. They came to arrest people in the middle of the night. It seemed that Mr. Lu's family had committed a serious crime.

"Master, what happened to Mr. Lu's family? Is it serious? Why did you come to arrest people all of a sudden? Is it a misunderstanding?" Lu Tianya's father asked.

Lu Tianya's father is Mr. Lu's next-door cousin. He is the closest to Mr. Lu's family among the Lu family. He has always relied on Mr. Lu's family for food. Now that he saw Mr. Lu and his whole family being arrested, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he hurriedly asked Team Leader Yang.

Team leader Yang's face darkened, he pointed at him and asked: "Who are you? The official is handling the case under the orders of the county magistrate. There is no need to explain to you. You don't need to question it. If you are worried, you can follow us. County government, but I have to tie you up."

When Lu Tianya's father heard this, the hand holding the pine oil torch trembled, and he hurriedly said: "No, I don't dare. Please tell me."

"Haha, Lu Jinggui, what are you doing now? Mr. Lu is your cousin, and you eat the Lu family's food. Now that Mr. Lu has been arrested, shouldn't you follow him to fulfill your filial piety?" The He family did not mind watching the fun. It was a big deal, so he mocked Lu Jinggui.

Lu Jinggui did not dare to speak, for fear that if he spoke too much, he would be implicated by Mr. Lu and be taken to the county government by the government officials.

"Lu Jinggui, why don't you say anything? Are you scared? Why weren't you scared when Mr. Lu's family bullied our He family?"

The He family had long hated the Lu family. Now they pointed at Lu Jinggui and said to Team Leader Yang: "Master Cha, you don't know how hateful this Lu Jinggui is. Last year there was a drought. Although we didn't suffer any disaster here, the river water also went down. Halfway through, our land was very close to his, so more than a dozen members of our family went to fetch water for the fields. It took four days and three nights to collect water for more than ten acres of our land."

"But Lu Jinggui, a man who suffered thousands of blows, secretly dug through my field ridge at night to let the water from my field flow into his field... Oh, what kind of work did his family do? He only dug a few shovels of the field ridge and let it flow. We have water in our fields, but it’s very difficult for my family. It took the whole family two more days to carry water before watering our fields.”

"Our family went to argue with him, and this bastard Lu Jinggui actually said that if we had the ability, we would go to the county government to sue him. He also threatened us that if we sued, we would lose the case and offend the Prime Minister of Zou County... ...Bully, Lu Jinggui, you are really a bully!" He Laoma pointed at Lu Jinggui and scolded him so hard that he almost lost his breath.

Leader Yang frowned when he heard this, glanced at Lu Jinggui, and said to He Laoma: "If you have any grievances, you can collect evidence during this period... Do you know what the evidence is? It means when others bully you, can anyone see it? , the person who saw it is a witness and will be counted as one of the evidence. Then you can go to the county government to sue Lu Jinggui, and the county magistrate will make the decision for you. "

Magistrate Xu has been very dedicated to serving the people recently, and has been much more diligent in handling cases. However, the Lu family is about to collapse, and Magistrate Zou has too much time to take care of himself. The magistrate has no scruples in handling cases, and those who want to redress their grievances should go quickly, lest they In three months, after the county magistrate leaves, the new county magistrate will not know whether he is good or bad, and this injustice will not be redressed.

When the He family heard this, they said happily: "Master, can we really go to the county government to sue the Lu family? We won't be arrested by Zou County Cheng, right? The Lu family has said that anyone who dares to sue them will be let go by Zou County Cheng Who goes to jail.”

When the Lu family heard this, their faces turned blue with fright, and they hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense. The only ones who bully others are Mr. Lu's family and have nothing to do with us."

"Bah, why has it nothing to do with you? You Lu family are Mr. Lu's accomplices. We are going to sue you and kill you, you idiots!"

The Lu family was scolded as a bastard, and those who were angry immediately scolded the He family.

The He family looked at it and said, oh, you little guy, Mr. Lu has been arrested, how dare you, the Lu family, be so arrogant, how about that? I must roll up my sleeves, put my hands on my hips, and scold you back!

For a while, the He family and the Lu family were having a huge quarrel, foaming at the mouth and swearing a lot, which made Ban Yang's head hurt.
