Those who collected the money were all accomplices, so all the people in Tongjia Village were accomplices. Including those who knew about it and those who didn't, when this was said, everyone in Tongjia Village fell silent.
Suddenly someone spoke up: "Didn't someone say this before? Ignorance is not a crime. We didn't know the situation. The village chief gave it to us anyway. We are also victims, deceived people."
Someone else spoke up directly: "Yes, besides, we are all from the same village, and there is a saying that the law does not punish the masses! It has nothing to do with us. If you want to punish someone, just arrest the culprit."
"The culprit is the village chief. He is missing and has run away with everyone. Go arrest the village chief. We were all unaware of this."
…
Nan Nan listened to the noisy conversation below, and some people said that they were all from the same family, no one had reported it to the authorities, and that the government was just meddling in other people's business.
The more he listened, the angrier he got. Nan Nan didn't want to deal with the matter anymore. He looked at these people and said, "You decided not to report it to the police and handle it privately, right? Fine, all of you go away. You're making so much noise."
As soon as these words came out, the people below suddenly became quiet. They looked at Nan Nan one by one and said, "Then you will help us find the things we lost, right?"
Nan Nan sneered: "You are the ones who are thinking about good things! Aren't you not going to report the case? What does the lost things have to do with our government? If you report the case, we will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. We will definitely investigate where the money came from. You can choose for yourself."
This is simply a choice. If they are not held accountable for their mistakes, the government cannot recover the wealth, and their losses will be huge. One side is guilty, and the other side is rich. Everyone is confused and looks at Nan Nan.
Finally someone spoke up: "Sir, how about this, we should report to the police and ask them to help us get these things back. As for the mistakes we made, we were all unaware of them, so please give us a lighter punishment, maybe some money. As for those who knew about it, it was a deliberate crime, so please punish us severely."
The person who spoke up was not a victim of the girl, but she was also unaware of it. Nan Nan thought about it and thought that this was also OK: "Okay, we'll talk about the punishment when the time comes. Go back, we'll send people to discuss it with each family."
The most important thing now is to find the victims and the missing village chief and others. Only when they are found can they be sentenced.
As for the disaster victims, as long as they came to Xianyou Town, they would be found. The yamen runners sent by Nannan quickly found the whereabouts of the disaster victims.
After all, these disaster victims looted so many things. At the beginning, they just looted without caring how much they took. After they left, a group of disaster victims cleaned up their gains in the woods.
After cleaning up, everyone realized that something was wrong. They had robbed so many things, adding up to more than 100,000 yuan. That was a lot of money. They were finished.
For a moment, they didn't dare to stay in Xianyou Town. With so much money, they could live a good life anywhere. Everyone was panicked at first, but gradually became excited.
A group of people began to discuss how to leave Xianyou Town. After all, only by leaving here could they spend their money openly.
However, these people were not so united. Some of them would sneak away from time to time on the road. They felt that with so many people, it would easily attract other people's attention, so they all ran away halfway.
The yamen runners quickly tracked down the whereabouts of this group of people. When they robbed things in the village, they were blinded by hunger. Now when they saw the yamen runners, they were naturally a little scared.
All of them were captured and brought back, and those who had left on the road were also captured. The silver, gold and silver jewelry and other things were handed over, but the food and other things had been eaten.
Nan Nan looked at these people, who seemed a little down and out but in good spirits. When he thought that these people were trying to rob others, he instantly lost his good impression of them and waved his hand.
"Send them over to open up the wasteland. They will be provided with three meals a day, but no wages, as a punishment. When the land reclamation is finished, these people will be released."
He also ordered people to return all the confiscated items to the villagers, and looked at them and said, "We will discuss the matter of the crime with the village chief and others. Do you want to go back to your original village or find a place nearby to rebuild a village?"
To be honest, they were a little afraid to go back to their original village. They used to think they had the protection of the mountain god, so they dared to go, but now they are still afraid.
After everyone discussed it, they decided to allocate a piece of land nearby, rebuild the houses, and make it a new Tongjia Village.
This matter was handed over to Master Fang. Nan Nan didn't want to take care of it. He still had to deal with the land reclamation! So many things to do, and food, it was no joke.
While Nan Nan was busy in Xianyou Town, Qian Jiujiu and others were not idle either. Because Zheng Yi Ju thought that they were his people and had the power to rebel, he sent people over in batches.
Later on, he couldn't even stop the victims in Shanzhou City, and some of them ran away. At the same time, he also planned to abandon Shanzhou City.
He led 5,000 men to suppress the robbers. In fact, he was going to make peace with them in the past, but because it was fake, Zheng Yiju and his last 5,000 troops were soon captured.
Zheng Yiju was led to meet the leader, but he was not panicked at all. In his opinion, he was just changing his place to be the boss.
But when he arrived, he saw that the person sitting in the leader's position was Gu Qi, not the person he thought. He was stunned for a moment.
The people beside him pushed him to his knees and said, "You dog officer, you don't kneel down when you see our leader."
Gu Qi looked at Zheng Yiju: "Master Zheng, isn't it surprising that we meet under such circumstances?"
Zheng Yiju frowned, and only then did he suddenly realize that he had been deceived. He looked at Gu Qi, then glanced at the person sitting next to Gu Qi, snorted, and stopped talking.
Gu Qi looked at everyone and said, "Let's talk about it. How should we deal with this person?"
Beibei glanced at the people around him and said, "I don't know either, but now that everyone has been captured, can we attack Shanzhou City? What do you think of taking Shanzhou City directly?"
Lin Xing'er, who was beside Gu Qi, was instantly happy when she heard this: "Okay, then let's go to Shanzhou City. I want to find my father."
I don't know what happened to Master Lin after he was taken away? Is he still alive? Wu Ming on the side suddenly said, "How about this, I'll go and interrogate Zheng Yiju, maybe I can get some clues about Master."
Gu Qi nodded: "Okay, then I'll trouble you with this matter."
Wu Ming stood up and went to the place where Zheng Yiju was imprisoned. When he got there, he called out the guards. Zheng Yiju was imprisoned in the room, and Wu Ming was standing at the door.
"Where is Lord Lin now?"
Zheng Yiju snorted: "Who are you to ask me? And tell me, what is going on? Why did I become a prisoner?"
He is now being watched closely here and cannot contact his loyal subordinates at all. Moreover, he doesn't know what is happening to his diehard fans now
Wu Ming looked at Zheng Yiju: "I wanted to inform you, but I couldn't send the message. I didn't know they were so cruel. In fact, we still have a chance. They are going to Shanzhou City to find Lord Lin."
Go to Shanzhou City? What kind of opportunity is this? "You mean, when they go to Shanzhou City, we kill them in the city?"
Wu Ming nodded: "This is the only chance now. After all, if we fail to complete the mission, there will be no good results for the two of us. So where is Lord Lin? You'd better think of a dangerous place where people can be trapped. Once we control the army, we can directly lead the army to kill Gu Qi and others."
Who says not! If he fails to complete the mission, he will die in an ugly way: "You are right. I know a place that is a little dangerous and should be able to trap the master. It is Tianyun Temple in Xiaofeng Mountain, Shanzhou City. There are many traps there, and it is a bit dangerous."
He knew the Tianyun Temple in Xiaofeng Mountain. It was the branch of Tianzhu Palace. It seemed that he couldn't complete the mission without spending a lot of money.
After discussing with Zheng Yiju, Wu Ming left and went to find Gu Qi. Seeing that everyone was still discussing how to treat the people in the city after entering the city.
"I found out from asking that Lord Lin was taken to Tianyun Temple in Xiaofeng Mountain. Tianyun Temple is a dangerous place."
Tianyun Temple is a temple with monks inside. But now they have no idea what is going on inside. Gu Qi frowned and said, "Then let's go to Shanzhou City first, and then go to Tianyun Temple. No matter how dangerous it is, we must go there."
Everyone knows that the monks in Tianyun Temple are very powerful. Even if it is hit by a disaster now, I believe that Tianyun Temple has not been affected.
But the fact that Lord Lin was placed there proves that the people in that place are related to Zheng Yi Ju. Thinking of this, Gu Qi felt very bad.
Now Gu Qi has 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers under his command. Take them all and head towards Shanzhou City, which is now almost an empty city.
The soldiers who were defending the city left, and the victims also took the opportunity to flee. So the large Shanzhou City was empty. After entering with the army and settling down, Gu Qi spoke: "I plan to go to Tianyun Temple. Wu Ming will go with me. Let Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu take care of the things here."
This is to save his father-in-law. Mu Yexiao nodded, but did not stop him. However, he still said: "Then you should be careful."
