The three Muramasa were also very angry at this moment.
The appearance of such a person in his village is a disgrace to the entire village, and it also rubs the face of him as the village chief.
What does this prove? It proves that the people under his command are incompetent and unworthy of their positions.
The three of them clasped their fists and said, "We will deal with him as we see fit. Don't worry, head of the village. His family's joint households will be punished according to the law. We have no complaints."
Since he can be the Muramasa, it means he has some roots in the village. In terms of kinship, he can be considered a relative with all the villagers, so they say this.
Several villagers who had pledged their allegiance to the three men were unhappy and stepped forward to protest:
"Li Zheng, we didn't know anything about this. You can't just condemn us. We are all honest people. We have never done anything bad. We can't let a beast drag us down."
"Yes, yes, we are wronged..."
"Village head, these three evildoers deserve to be killed or tortured, but we are all honest people, and we have never stepped on an ant to death..."
"It's unfair, Li Zheng..."
Sun Lizheng looked at everyone with his hands behind his back and said coldly: "Whether you are wronged or not is not up to me, Sun Zaiyue, to decide. The Great Qian Kingdom has its own laws, and the ten-household joint guarantee is the imperial decree. If you are not satisfied, go to the county government and beat the drum to see how the prefect will judge."
How could these villagers dare to go to the county government? Some of them have never walked more than fifty miles in their entire lives.
Everyone wailed, knowing that they would inevitably be punished. They felt extremely angry and turned their eyes to the three people who were curled up on the ground groaning. They immediately became furious.
Several people rushed forward and kicked him, cursing as they kicked him: "You evil bastards! Why don't you just die!"
"You are such a scourge, you should be beheaded immediately..."
The Tu couple and Chen Ergou had already been controlled by the village guards. When they saw their son being beaten, they couldn't help but struggle and cry.
"Stop hitting him, please don't hit him, he's still a child..."
"He's already injured like that, please stop hitting him..."
When Chen Ergou's wife saw her son being surrounded and kicked by everyone, she couldn't catch her breath and fainted.
None of Chen Sanshi's family came, not even his wife.
It is said that his parents died early, and his elder and second brothers married him a wife at random and separated from him, almost cutting off all contact with him and naturally not wanting to care about his affairs.
Sun Lizheng stamped his feet and said angrily: "Stop making trouble. If you beat someone to death, you will go to jail!"
When everyone heard this, they kicked him again and then retreated.
At this time, the two grandsons of Doctor Li were invited by the village guards to apply medicine and bandage the wounds of the three people who fell to the ground.
Sun Lizheng ordered: "First lock them up in the township hall, and I will interrogate them one by one later."
Several village guards responded and watched the three men from the side. They waited until their wounds were treated before they carried them away.
At this moment, Sanlang Jiang was being bandaged by Doctor Li.
There was a cut on the top of his head, but the bleeding has stopped now.
Doctor Li took a pair of scissors and cut off the hair on the wound on Jiang Sanlang's head. Seeing that the wound seemed to be healing, he couldn't help but ask, "Did Sanlang use any medicine?"
Otherwise, how could a wound half a finger long heal so quickly
There was also a little transparent liquid on his hair, which was obviously the medicine that had dried up.
Jiang Sanlang lowered his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "No medicine was used."
He knew that the little girl must have smeared something on his head, but he couldn't say it.
Doctor Li did not ask any further questions. He cleaned the wound with the medicine juice again, sprinkled some medicine powder on it and bandaged it.
"Sanlang, I see you're seriously injured, do you feel dizzy?"
Jiang Sanlang blinked and said, "I felt dizzy at first, but not anymore."
"Well, that's good." Doctor Li said, "I'll prescribe you another dose of medicine. Take it for a few days and recuperate for a while, and then we'll see."
Doctor Li wrote a prescription, "If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must come and see me right away. The injury to your head cannot be taken lightly."
After writing the prescription, he personally picked the medicine and asked his daughter-in-law in the back hall to boil a packet and give it to Jiang Sanlang to drink.
Because Jiang Sanlang's case has not been concluded yet, Jiang Sanlang has to stay in the town and wait for the summons from the head of the village.
Yingbao stayed in her father's arms quietly.
She kept recalling the scene of those people raising sticks, and she felt terrified.
"Dad, it's Baoer's fault. I shouldn't have brought Youyou to town." Otherwise, Dad wouldn't have been injured.
"Don't blame Baoer. Those bad guys want to do bad things. We can't avoid them whether we come or not." Jiang Sanlang comforted.
The deer in his family had always been coveted by others, so he didn't let his daughter bring the deer with her nephew.
But he didn't expect that those three men were so cruel that they committed the crime in broad daylight and wanted to kill him and his daughter.
"Sanlang, I have someone prepare a room for you. Go and have a rest first."
Doctor Li saw that the father and daughter had been sitting there doing nothing, so he said, "I don't know when the village head's meeting will end. If it's too late, you can rest here and go home tomorrow."
Jiang Sanlang: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Li, for your trouble."
Doctor Li waved his hand and said, "It's just a small favor. You've lost too much blood. Go lie down for a while."
"Um."
…
Dongchen Village,
Chen Yin drove the donkey cart directly to the Jiang family and told the Jiang family that Jiang Sanlang had encountered robbers on the road and was now being treated by Doctor Li.
Jiang Liu was almost frightened to death, and quickly asked her eldest and second sons to go to the town to take a look.
Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang did not dare to hesitate and immediately borrowed a donkey cart from Chen Yin and rushed to the town.
When Chunniang learned that her husband was in trouble, she was so scared that her legs went weak and she insisted on following him even though she was crying.
Mrs. Jiang advised, "You can't help if you go now, so you'd better wait at home. Don't worry. Chen Yin said that Sanlang and Yingbao are fine, nothing serious has happened. The bad guys have been sent to the township hall and are waiting for interrogation."
Chunniang wiped her tears and nodded reluctantly.
When Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang arrived at the town in their donkey cart, the sky was already filled with sunset glow.
They came to Doctor Li's house and found the third brother who was sleeping.
"Sanlang, what's wrong with your head?" Jiang Dalang saw that his third brother's head was tangled like a dumpling and asked worriedly.
Jiang Sanlang was already awake. Seeing his elder and second brothers coming, he slowly sat up, touched the cloth on his head, and said, "There was a cut, and I've already applied medicine."
"A cut? Is the injury serious?" Jiang Dalang frowned.
"It's nothing." Jiang Sanlang said.
"Then lie down quickly." Jiang Erlang quickly reached out to help his third brother lie down.
Jiang Sanlang shook his head and was about to get up, "I still have to go to the township hall to take a look, I can't lie down anymore."
He didn't know how long he had slept. He thought that the village head must have finished the interrogation and it was time to question him.
"What's going on?" Jiang Dalang asked.
Jiang Sanlang then told the whole story, turned his head to look at the little girl sleeping beside him, and sighed, "If Baoer hadn't come back and given them a sickle, I might have died there."
Jiang Dalang was extremely angry. "This Chen Lu'er! He has been spoiled by his parents since he was a child and has no law to follow. When he grew up, he stole and did things everywhere and no one cared. I didn't expect that he would dare to hurt you today. Sanlang, this matter cannot be easily let go."
"I know." Jiang Sanlang sneered: "He deliberately murdered my father and daughter, how could I let him go."
If Sun Lizheng can still make a big deal out of a small matter this time, then I will think of a way to get rid of those three people.
After all, nothing is more important than the lives of your own family.
If they dare to set their sights on his daughter, they deserve to die a hundred times.
