Li Yong shook his head: "This is not evidence."
Another yamen runner, Zhou Qiang, immediately said, "Captain Li, have you ever seen a poor family that can afford to eat these things? Isn't this evidence? Don't forget what the county magistrate said."
Li Yong had been working for the chief constable who served the previous county magistrate, and he himself was the confidant of the county magistrate, so he had always been suppressed by Li Yong.
Although the new county magistrate may not necessarily use him, he is still the confidant of the county deputy.
This was a case that the county magistrate had asked him to handle well, so he naturally didn't need to take him seriously anymore.
Li Yong: "It's possible that someone else gave it to him. We need to find the suspect first and ask him clearly."
Upon hearing this, Li said, "That bastard Shen Xingnong is not at home. I'll go ask that little bitch Xingqing where the bastard has gone! She must have taken the gold bead with her."
Li stepped into the dim room.
Shen Mingzhu, who was standing next to her, raised her foot and wanted to follow in, but after taking a look at the dim room, she subconsciously covered her nose and did not dare to go in.
I don’t know if there is any sour or stink. Her nose is sensitive and she can’t stand any unpleasant smell.
In the room, in a dark corner.
Shen Ruoxi hugged her head, huddled in a corner, trembling all over, and kept muttering, "Don't catch me and throw me into the pig cage, don't catch me and throw me into the pig cage, I didn't, don't catch me..."
Shen Ruoxi struggled hard, but Xing Qing hugged her tightly and comforted her, "Aunt, it's okay, no one will catch you."
"No, don't catch me and put me in the pig cage..." Shen Ruoxi couldn't hear anything at all. She was so frightened that she was immersed in a world of horror.
Li covered her mouth in disgust, walked towards the two people in the corner, and said fiercely: "Shen Xingqing, where is that bitch Shen Xingnong?!"
"Don't catch me... No, I'm not a bitch..." Hearing this fierce voice, Shen Ruoxi's whole body shook even more violently.
She shrank again and again, wishing she could shrink herself into a mouse hole.
At this moment, she felt like she had fallen into an ice river. The freezing water wrapped around her entire body. She was tied up and could not break free no matter how hard she struggled.
Xing Qing hugged Shen Ruoxi tightly and shook her head: "My sister is not a bitch, she is out! My sister would not steal anything, grandma, go talk to the police!"
"My maid saw with her own eyes that she was holding the gold beads. If she wasn't stolen, where did she get them? I advise you to confess quickly. The county magistrate may be able to give you a lighter sentence. Otherwise, you are accomplices, and I will arrest you and put you in jail, and throw you, a bitch, into the pig cage!" Li said at the end, and deliberately reached out to pull Shen Ruoxi.
"Ah!" Shen Ruoxi screamed in fear. In extreme panic, she opened Xing Qing's arms and ran out.
"No, I don't know, don't catch me and put me in the pig cage..."
Shen Ruoxi ran out in a flash.
Xing Qing was pushed to the ground by Shen Ruoxi. She quickly got up and chased after her, "Auntie!"
Li hurriedly chased after them: "Sir, they are trying to run away and tip off the police. They are trying to escape from the crime! Catch them now!"
Upon hearing this, the officer at the door quickly grabbed Xing Qing.
Shen Ruoxi ran too fast, and everyone in the village knew that she was crazy, so as soon as she ran out, everyone made way for her.
She ran away in a flash.
"Aunt, Aunt!..." Xing Qing was so anxious when she saw Shen Ruoxi running away. She struggled hard and said anxiously, "Sir, I'm not going to tell anyone. My aunt is a little mentally ill. I'm just going to pull her back. Let me go!"
... ...
Xing Nong ran closer and bumped into Shen Ruoxi who was running towards the back mountain screaming like crazy.
She quickly stepped forward, stretched out her hand and pulled her, "Mom."
When Shen Ruoxi found someone pulling her, she waved her hands vigorously and scratched Xingnong's face.
Xing Nong chopped down with his palm.
Shen Ruoxi closed her eyes and her body softened.
Xing Nong caught her, picked her up and walked back.
By this time everyone had noticed her.
A villager said: "She is Shen Xingnong!"
Li Yong walked up to Xingnong. He was not surprised to see Xingnong because he recognized Li as the person who was nailed to the nail board that day.
He was there that day too.
Captain Li said directly: "Miss Shen, someone reported to the police that you stole the gold beads of a guest in the Yingbin Building."
Shen Mingzhu stood by and said anxiously: "Cousin Xingnong, please tell the officer that you didn't steal anything! Officer, I believe my cousin Xingnong is not a person who would steal things. There must be some misunderstanding. She must have picked it up."
Shen Mingzhu glanced at Xing Nong. Did this bastard understand her hint? If she really heard it and said that she picked it up, she would be unrepentant and her crime would be even more serious! She would have to spend more days in jail.
Xing Nong wanted to throw her out, but she was holding Shen Ruoxi and had no hands. She glared at Shen Mingzhu fiercely: "Shut up!"
I'm annoyed by her voice!
She carried Shen Ruoxi directly on her shoulders, leaving one hand free.
Shen Mingzhu was completely frightened by Xingnong's fierce aura. Thinking of something, she was so scared that she took several steps back, her face turning pale and blue.
I dare not say anything more!
Xing Nong didn't even give her a look. She looked at Xing Qing who was being held not far away and said coldly to Captain Li: "Since you said I stole it, why did you arrest my sister?"
When Xing Qing saw Xing Nong and Shen Ruoxi in her arms, she stopped struggling and said loudly, "Sister, I'm fine."
Li Yong looked back and frowned: "Let her go, why are you arresting people?"
Nothing is clear.
Only then did Zhou Qiang let go of Xing Qing.
Xing Qing quickly ran to Xing Nong and said anxiously, "Sister, the maid at Great Grandma's house said she saw you stealing the gold beads from the guests at the Yingbin Building, and Great Grandma brought the officials to arrest you. Tell the officials quickly that you didn't steal it."
"It's okay." Xing Nong didn't explain, but just said soothingly.
There is no point in explaining now. It's not like others will believe her just because she says she didn't steal. What's more, she did have gold beads on her body.
She carried Shen Ruoxi into the house.
The villagers gave way and stayed away.
The doorstep to the house was in a mess, with no place to step, but Xing Nong acted as if he didn't see it. He exuded a cold aura and walked in slowly, stepping on the tiles.
Everyone: “… ”
A villager looked at Xingnong's murderous and fearless appearance, and felt a little scared for some reason, so he left quietly.
Some people see people around them leaving, think of something, and then follow them.
... ...
Xingnong carried Shen Ruoxi back into the house.
The mats on the kang were thrown to the ground, and Xing Qing quickly picked them up and spread them on the kang.
Xing Nong carefully placed Shen Ruoxi on the kang and said to Xing Qing, "Please help me take care of my mother. Don't move anything inside or outside the house. I'm going to the government office and will be back soon. Tell grandma not to worry."
Xing Qing couldn't hide her worry on her face, and asked anxiously, "Sister, will everything be alright? Will you be spanked again?"
Xing Nong comforted him, "Don't worry, it won't happen this time. Wait for me to come back."
Xing Qing then nodded and let go of her hand.
Xing Nong walked out, pointed at the mess on the ground, and looked at the leading officer: "Are you the ones who threw my things everywhere?"
