From Dajing Village to the county government, there is only one road leading to the official road, so as long as they guard the official road, they can always meet Jia Lizhang and Sun Lizhang coming out of it.
When Bai Shan arrived at the entrance of the official road, he immediately waited in the woods on both sides.
The three yamen servants who took the first step led Feng Dashan out from the road inside, and reported: "My lord, both of you have been notified."
Bai Shan asked, "Has anyone come out?"
"Yes, we said that the adults care about farming and urged them to leave as soon as possible. When they left, they were ready to come."
Bai Shan nodded and waved them back.
The group waited in the forest for more than an hour before they saw Jia Lichang and Sun Lichang sitting on the bullock cart heading up the official road.
Bai Shan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect them to be so close, they even walked together.
In addition to Jia Lichang and Sun Lichang, the two also brought a young man with them. At this time, they were sitting on the side of the bullock cart listening to Jia Lichang and Sun Lichang bragging.
"The county magistrate is very satisfied with our village, but seeing that our two villages are poor, that's why we allocated an extra cow than your village..."
Li Chang Sun said angrily: "I think your lord wants to give the village you manage a cow?"
Bai Shan looked at County Captain Dong, and a yamen servant ran over from the forest quietly, and said in a low voice, "There is no one behind, the four of them are the only ones on the whole road."
Bai Shan nodded, raised his hand a little forward, and said with a cold face: "Take it down, shut your mouth, and don't let them yell."
When the yamen servants heard about it, they immediately rushed like wolves from the woods to the four Jia Lichang who had just driven to the entrance of their official road.
The four of them only had time to utter an exclamation and half a sentence, "What are you doing, you are woo woo woo..."
The four were tied up, gagged and dragged in front of Bai Shan.
Li Chang Sun also met Bai Shan, so when he saw Bai Shan, he struggled violently, not knowing why he was arrested.
Chief Jia didn't know either, so seeing Bai Shan still struggling, but seeing Feng Dashan kneeling not far away, and seeing that he no longer had the official uniform of a yamen servant, he immediately had a bad feeling.
Bai Sha met their gazes condescendingly, seeing both of their expressions.
He raised his hand and asked someone to push Sun Lichang aside first, then walked up to Jia Lichang and looked at him.
Jia Lizhang was gagged and could only look at him with his neck up. His eyes were complicated and filled with all kinds of emotions.
Bai Shan looked away at the young man who was being crushed next to him, and asked, "If my county remembers correctly, he is your second son?"
Chief Jerry could only nod his head.
Bai Shandao: "Jia Dalang said that all three of your sons participated in the looting of Xiaoliu Village. When I lived in your house in this county, I really didn't see that they had such courage."
Jia Lichang's eyes widened instantly, he whimpered loudly, struggling violently and shaking his head.
Jia Erlang on the side was also terrified, and he shook his head again and again, crying bitterly while denying.
Bai Shan waited for the father and son to get excited before saying: "This county doesn't like people yelling. If you have something to say, take your mouth and speak slowly. If you don't want to say it, wait until this county confesses to Jia Dalang and others. Those who came out were arrested together, and when they returned to the county government, they made a bunch of you and then decided whether to speak or not."
Now Chief Jia was also crying, and he nodded to Bai Shan repeatedly.
Only then did Bai Shan signal the yamen servant to come forward and take the cloth from his mouth.
As soon as he took it out, Chief Jia immediately said: "My lord, you can't believe Jia Dalang's words. How could my three sons do such a wicked thing? They didn't participate in the looting of Xiaoliu Village."
"They weren't involved, what about you?"
Jia Lichang's face turned pale and said, "Me, I didn't either. I don't know anything about it."
Bai Shan sneered, "Really? But the county doesn't look like you didn't know anything when you made the distinction just now."
He looked down at him and said, "Do you know why this county brought Feng Dashan here?"
"As the saying goes, capture the thief before capturing the king. Jia Dalang's words are justified. Is there anyone in this village who is more powerful than you, the head of the village? You can organize so many people to rob Xiaoliu Village. The leader of the bandit is not you." No way."
The words fell into Jia Lichang's ears because Jia Dalang pushed all the things he did on Jia Lichang.
Jia Li grew pale with fright, feeling that the sky was falling, he shook his head at Bai Shan repeatedly, "No, no, my lord, you can't believe the words of that bully Jia Dalang, he is famous for his misfortune in the village The bully who robbed Xiaoliu Village was headed by him, and it has nothing to do with me..."
Bai Shan looked at him quietly,
Jia Lichang met his cold gaze, gritted his teeth, and could only kowtow and say: "My lord, the younger one is guilty, and the younger one knew about it but didn't report it. It's a minor crime, but it has nothing to do with the younger sons. They really don't know anything."
Bai Shan smiled, sat down on a rock, leaned forward to look at Jia Li and said, "You react quickly and know what to choose."
Jia Lichang trembled all over, obviously terrified.
Bai Shan said: "Okay, this county can listen to your story and see how it differs from Jia Dalang's confession process."
Jia Lichang raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, as long as he was willing to listen to what he had to say, after all, it was not Jia Dalang's one-sided words.
"... Then Jia Dalang is a villain from ten miles and eight villages. Years ago, they entangled with a gang of bastards, slipped into Xiaoliu Village through the mountains at night, and robbed Xiaoliu Village."
Jia Lizhang quietly raised his head to look at Bai Shan, and saw that he was listening with a flat expression and stared at him coldly.
Jia Lichang shuddered, although it was a bit difficult to say, but he still bite the bullet and continued: "Because there are many people who participated in the looting, many of them are from Dajing Village and Xiaojing Village, and there is also my Jia family. son, so I, I also heard some rumors."
The following words are even more difficult to say, but Chief Jia still said: "I, I found someone to inquire about it, and only then did I find out about it."
He immediately said: "At that time I was going to report to the county government, but Jia Dalang received the news and brought someone to threaten me, my lord, the lives of my family are in his hands, I have to listen to him .”
He said: "Although I failed to report it at the time, I have always wanted to report this matter to my lord, especially after my lord took office..."
Bai Shan sneered in his heart. After he took office, he summoned the chiefs of various townships more than once, and he also entered the county office more than once. There were so many opportunities that he didn't speak up, and he didn't show a little bit, saying that Who will believe it
But it doesn't matter at the moment, we have to go back to the county government to make a decision.
Bai Shan sneered and asked him, "Since he has brought people to threaten you, it seems that you also know about the people who participated in the looting of Xiaoliu Village? Report to the county to hear who confessed to Jia Dalang What a big difference, since you said your son didn't participate, was your son added to the list, or replaced some people?"
Originally wanting to evade the fact that he didn't remember, the chief was shocked, swallowed his saliva, and immediately reported all the people he found out, even the people he suspected he hadn't identified.
