Chapter 156. Retrieve the dirt and question the copper knife
In Zhao Jun's impression, whenever Wang Meilan mentioned that her mother's family was rich, she would talk about a brass watermelon knife.
Wang Meilan’s original words were: “The knives used to cut watermelons in my house are all made of copper.”
Then, she even gestured in vernacular and talked about what her watermelon knife looked like.
Copper is very valuable, but it’s not as valuable as gold and silver, right?
In the past, Wang Meilan didn't even mention her own golden grapes or golden watermelons, but she mentioned the watermelon knife again and again.
Zhao Jun had never seen that knife, but now he seemed to have seen it.
"Qiangzi." At this time, someone in the crowd asked Wang Qiang, "Isn't that bronze knife from your family?"
"Ah, isn't it good?" Wang Qiang came to his senses and went over to pick up the watermelon knife.
"That's my family's knife!" Upon seeing this, Chen Yongqiang, the eldest son of Chen Jinmin's family, struggled to get up and go to grab the knife from Wang Qiang, but his mother held him back.
"How can your family have such a knife?" Without Wang Qiang's words, someone next to him said: "If your family has this knife, your family will no longer be gangsters."
Someone also took the watermelon knife from Wang Qiang's hand, turned it over and looked at it, then pushed the knife towards Wang Qiang and said categorically: "Qiangzi, this is your knife. That year I and I
Dad, I went to your house to exchange for food, and my Aunt Wang at your house cuts watermelons for us, and I use this knife."
"This family is really thieves!" There was a discussion behind him, and the blushing Chen Yongqiang shouted with tears in his eyes: "We are not thieves, my father picked up that knife up the mountain."
"Fuck!" Li Ruhai raised his hand and pointed to the mountains in the distance and said, "Go pick up another one and let me take a look!"
"We really picked it up..." The person who said this was Lu Gaoping, Chen Jinmin's daughter-in-law, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zhao Youcai.
"Don't cry with me here." Zhao Youcai pointed at Lu Gaoping and said, "Your man went to my house while he was sleeping and stole the skins and air guns from my barn. I can't beat him."
not much."
Hearing this, Lu Gaoping looked at Chen Jinmin subconsciously. Hearing Chen Jinmin's words of denial, Lu Gaoping shouted: "We didn't steal it, you are unjustly accusing me!"
"You're so pretty!" Li Dayong went over and grabbed Chen Jinmin's collar, raised his arms and slapped him several times.
"Don't hit us!" Lu Gaoping jumped up, but was stopped by Li Baoyu and pushed aside.
Li Baoyu didn't want to make a move with a woman, but if he didn't, Gao Ping would definitely give Li Dayong a slap in the face.
Men have to show their faces outside. How can Li Dayong go to work with a face full of flowers?
"Pretty, don't hit my mother!" Chen Yongqiang rushed towards Li Baoyu, but was kicked to the ground by Li Ruhai.
Twice overturning Chen Yongqiang, who was four or five years younger than him, boosted the confidence of Li Ruhai, who was beaten in the village, and then kicked Chen Yongqiang twice.
"Don't hit my son!" Lu Gaoping rushed to protect his son again. As soon as she left, Zhao Youcai raised his hand and said "Shunzi" behind him.
Lin Xiangshun hesitated, then took off the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle from his shoulder and handed it to Zhao Youcai.
Zhao Youcai held a gun with both hands, and with his left arm away, the butt of the gun hit Chen Jinmin hard on the face, knocking him to the ground.
Blood flowed from Chen Jinmin's mouth, and two teeth fell out of his mouth.
"Give me a discount on one of his legs!" Zhao Youcai pointed at Chen Jinmin and said, "Count it on me!"
"No way! No way!" Upon hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Lu Gaoping didn't even protect her son anymore. She threw herself in front of Chen Jinmin, knelt down facing Zhao Youcai, and cried: "Brother, I kneel down for you! You
Don't hit my old Chen, we didn't steal your things."
Seeing Lu Gaoping like this, no one can get started.
Zhao Youcai curled his lips helplessly, bent slightly and said to Lu Gaoping, "Come on, get up and talk."
"I can't get up, brother!" Lu Gaoping cried: "Our family is in trouble, please stop bullying our family."
"Who bullied your family?" Zhao Youcai was also angry. He pointed at Chen Jinmin behind Lu Gaoping and said: "It's in the middle of the night. If he doesn't steal my things, do I have nothing to do? I'll go to your house.
I'm going to hit you?"
"I really didn't steal anything from your house!" Lu Gaoping refused to admit it. In fact, this woman knew that her husband had done nothing good. Otherwise, why wouldn't Chen Jinmin be sleeping in the house so late at night?
But Chen Jinmin refused to admit it, and Lu Gaoping also refused to admit it.
Zhao Youcai was speechless. He could kill Chen Jinmin, but he really couldn't kill women or children.
During the stalemate, Li Ruhai stepped forward and said to Zhao Youcai: "Uncle, try them separately!"
When Zhao Youcai heard this, his little eyes lit up, he raised his hand and gestured, and said: "Come on, everyone, help me get them into the car and bring them back to our village. I'll put the bastards in a dog cage for them."
Upon hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Lu Gaoping cried and refused to agree.
"If you keep yelling like that, I'll give you some money for your house." Zhao Youcai's words made Lu Gaoping's voice quieter. She had just given up her son to protect Chen Jinmin because Chen Jinmin was the only breadwinner in the family.
If Chen Jinmin were to die, their family would be doomed as well.
But Lu Gaoping could not let anyone take Chen Jinmin away, so she could only kneel down and kowtow in front of Zhao Youcai.
They say killing can only be done with a nod of the head, but it is impossible for Chen Jinmin and Hu Zhonghou to steal the Zhao family's things and end it like that.
At this time, Hu Zhonghou had been dragged away by Wang Qiang, Ma Dafu, Wei Tie and others. Hearing beatings and scoldings coming from the corner, Lu Gaoping begged Zhao Youcai again.
"Sister," Zhao Youcai said, "If your man doesn't take out my things, I can't leave!"
"Brother, we really didn't get it, we really didn't get it." Lu Gaoping kept crying and crying. At this time, not only was she crying, but there was also a little girl beside her.
The little girl must have been five or six years old, but she was skinny and skinny. She knelt there and kowtowed to Zhao Youcai.
Chen Yongqiang did not kneel down. The child looked at Zhao Youcai and others with resentment.
Zhao Youcai didn't care about this kid, but he couldn't stand the little girl kowtow to him.
Zhao Youcai took a step forward, pointed at Chen Jinmin, who was blocked by his mother and daughter, and said: "Chen Jinmin, if you are a man, just tell me, do you admit to stealing my things?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I didn't, brother!" Chen Jinmin refused to admit it and said, "I really didn't steal it!"
"Take him away!" Zhao Youcai was really anxious. He gave the order, and Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu and others took action one after another.
Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu pulled Lu Gaoping and the little girl away with force but caution, while Lin Xiangshun and Jie Chen pulled Chen Jinmin up from left to right.
Chen Yongqiang picked up a stick and rushed towards Zhao Jun, but was slapped to the ground by Zhao Youcai.
"You little brat, if you keep dancing like crazy, I'll destroy you." Zhao Youcai pointed at Chen Yongqiang and said angrily. He didn't want to take action against a child, but such a big child can't do it lightly or harshly. And he was holding a stick, so...
No more.
"Uncle! Uncle!" Amidst the cries of Lu Gaoping and her daughter, Li Ruhai rushed over to report: "Then force the adopted son to do it!"
Hearing Li Ruhai shouting like this, everyone stopped.
"What did he say?" Zhao Youcai asked. Li Ruhai pointed at Chen Jinmin and said, "Then he forced the adopted son to say that he was the one who did it. After that, they went to our house to steal things, and threw the stolen skins and other things into the elm forest outside the village.
.”
"Oh, I'm pretty!" Lin Xiangshun opened his arms and slapped Chen Jinmin twice.
"Shunzi, stop beating him!" Zhao Youcai stopped him and said, "Tie him up and send him to the Yamen! Don't you admit that you are a bastard? This time I will let you squat on the fence!"
Zhao Youcai gave an order, and Lin Xiangshun and Jie Chen lifted up Chen Jinmin on the left and right. Chen Jinmin pushed his feet on the ground and resisted while crying: "Brother! It wasn't me who pestered him, it was all that Hu Zhonghou, he made it happen.
I’m going!”
"Fuck you! Why didn't you say that earlier?" Zhao Youcai cursed, then waved his hand and said: "Get him the whole car."
At this time, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu stopped Lu Gaoping, her mother and her son. After hearing Chen Jinmin's confession, Chen Yongqiang stopped pretending and began to plead with him.
"Hahaha..." Suddenly a burst of laughter sounded next to Zhao Youcai's voice. The laughter was hoarse and muffled. In this late night, Zhao Youcai was suddenly startled.
When I heard this movement, I saw that it was Li Ruhai who was in the stage of changing his voice.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Youcai slapped Li Ruhai lightly. Li Ruhai grinned, pointed at Chen Jinmin and said, "You fell into my trap!"
"Huh?" Everyone looked at Li Ruhai blankly. As the two sides quieted down, they could hear the sound of beatings and scolding not far away.
"Hahahaha!" Li Ruhai smiled up to the sky and said: "These two old boys are very tough and have a tough mouth, so I had no choice but to take this step."
Zhao Youcai rolled his eyes and instantly understood what Li Ruhai meant, but most people didn't know what was going on.
"Son!" Zhao Youcai called Zhao Jun and said, "Go and get the old boy straightened out!"
Within two minutes, Hu Zhonghou was brought over, and Wang Qiang kicked him to the ground.
Zhao Youcai came closer, bent down and grabbed Hu Zhonghou's neck collar. At this time, Hu Zhonghou's face was swollen like a pig's head, and both eyes were swollen into slits.
Zhao Youcai pointed at Chen Jinmin with his free hand and said, "Chen Jinmin has already recruited the gangsters, why don't you?"
"Ah?" Chen Jinmin was still confused. He was very puzzled. Didn't it say that Hu Zhonghou was the one who recruited him first?
Upon hearing this, Hu Zhonghou turned his head to look at Chen Jinmin with difficulty, cursing vaguely.
"Ruhai!" Li Baoyu, who was standing by, asked Li Ruhai in a low voice, "How do you know they threw the skins into the elm forest?"
Li Ruhai smiled and said: "With such a big bag of skins, where can I hide it?"
When Hu Zhonghou ran away just now, he threw the air gun away casually. But the air gun is easy to say, so where can he hide the sack of fox skins?
Li Baoyu still had doubts in his heart, but before he could speak, he heard Li Ruhai whisper: "In the past, our father and our uncle secretly went up the mountain to trim meat and other things, and then hid them in the poplar forest at the south end of our village, and took them out after they were done."
Sell for money.”
Although Li Ruhai's voice was low, as soon as he said these words, Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong turned to look at him.
Li Ruhai shrank his neck and hurriedly stepped back and hid behind Li Baoyu.
"Okay." Zhao Guofeng suppressed his laughter, pulled Zhao Youcai and said, "The whole village knows about this."
Zhao Youcai was startled and secretly resented in his heart. He pointed at Chen Jinmin and Hu Zhonghou and said: "Tie them two to me in the car and take them to the Yamen tomorrow morning!"
As soon as Zhao Youcai said these words, Lu Gaoping and the two children cried and cried.
"Brother! Big brother!" Chen Jinmin and Hu Zhonghou both knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy.
Zhao Jun secretly pulled Zhao Youcai. Zhao Youcai raised his hand and pointed at Hu Zhonghou and asked, "Where's my gun?"
"The gun was thrown in the courtyard of Lao Liu's house!" Hu Zhonghou hurriedly confessed, and Zhao Youcai turned to look at Zhang Lifu.
Zhang Lifu raised his hand and pointed to the west and said, "Just around the corner!"
With that said, Zhang Lifu walked over there.
When Hu Zhonghou was escaping just now, he picked up the gun and threw it into the courtyard when he turned the corner. When Li Baoyu caught up with him, he couldn't find the air rifle tree.
"Where are my skins?" Zhao Youcai pointed at Chen Jinmin again, and Chen Jinmin hurriedly said, "Let us bury them in the elm forest."
"Let's go! Find it!" Zhao Youcai waved his hand, and everyone rushed forward. Lu Gaoping couldn't stop him even if he wanted to, and watched helplessly as everyone took Chen Jinmin and Hu Zhonghou into the car.
The Liberation Vehicle came out of Tunxi and entered the elm forest. Chen Jinmin and Hu Zhonghou walked all the way inside.
When they stood in front of an old elm tree, Chen Jinmin and Hu Zhonghou looked at the marks carved on the trunk. They pointed to the front and said, "There's that snow bag ahead."
"You two, get out here!" Zhao Youcai kicked Chen Jinmin in the leg. Chen Jinmin staggered and fell to his knees in the snow.
He struggled to get up, and together with Hu Zhonghou, he unpacked the snow bag and took out the big sack.
After leaving the elm forest and arriving at the edge of the forest, Zhao Youcai opened the sack with his own hands, took out the fox skin-wrapped roll at the top, and only gave up when he opened it and saw bear bile.
Among the things these two people stole from Zhao's house today, the bear bile was the most expensive, and the air rifle couldn't compare with it.
Seeing that Xiong Dan was there, Zhao Youcai breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Is that all?"
"That's it, that's it." Hu Zhong said honestly, "I'm just going to carry a sack."
"What about you?" Zhao Youcai asked Chen Jinmin again. Chen Jinmin hurriedly shook his head and said, "Brother, I didn't even enter your courtyard."
Zhao Youcai stared at the two of them and saw that they didn't look like they were lying. Anyway, as many pairs of fox skins as there were empty spaces on the wall, he would kill them both.
Thinking of this, Zhao Youcai waved his hand upward and said: "Let's go! Get them in the car!"
After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Li Dayong and others grabbed Chen Jinmin and Hu Zhonghou.
"Brother, everything is returned to you." Chen Jinmin grinned and howled: "Why are you still dragging me?"
Zhao Youcai ignored him and got into the car with the air gun in hand.
Li Baoyu carried the sack and got into the trunk of the car with the others escorting Chen Jinmin and Hu Zhonghou.
Zhao Jun drove, with Zhao Guofeng and Zhao Youcai sitting in the passenger seat.
"You are rich." Zhao Guofeng asked Zhao Youcai, "Are you really giving them a fence?"
"What are you giving?" Zhao Youcai sighed and said, "I gave fences to that gangster Chen. His three mothers must not starve to death. How can the sixth man live in that village in the future?"
Hearing that Zhao Youcai was thinking about Zhang Lifu, Zhao Guofeng nodded, but then asked: "If you don't give me a fence, what are you going to do for them?"
"What are you doing?" Zhao Youcai sneered and said, "They tortured me all night, how can I spare them? CTMD, I will drag them to the village, and then let them walk back by themselves."
Zhao Guofeng smiled when he heard this. This behavior was indeed in line with Zhao Youcai's character.
The bus entered Yong'an Village and took everyone home all the way. Before everyone got off the bus, Zhao Youcai got out of the car and personally thanked them and gave them a stone cigarette.
When there were only one of his own people left in the car, Zhao Youcai asked Li Ruhai to go home to report the news, and then asked Zhao Jun to drive the car directly outside the village.
Chen Jinmin and Hu Zhonghou in the trunk thought that Zhao Youcai was going to send them to the Yamen, and they were so frightened that they burst into tears and had runny noses.
When the Liberation Car stopped at the north side of the village, Zhao Youcai pushed the car door and got out, waved his hand and said: "Pull them down!"
"Brother! Big brother!" Chen Jinmin and Hu Zhonghou clasped their fists and bowed to Zhao Youcai, saying: "The things have been returned to you, please spare our lives."
Zhao Youcai raised his chin slightly and asked Hu Zhonghou, "Did you start this matter today?"
After Zhao Youcai finished asking, without waiting for Hu Zhonghou's reply, he said to Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang: "Qiangzi, you and your eldest nephew will be dragged over there by the gangster Chen, and we will interrogate this kid alone."
"Brother." Li Dayong asked Zhao Youcai with some confusion, "What else are we interrogating?"
"Ask him, our dog doesn't bark." As soon as Zhao Youcai said this, Li Dayong nodded repeatedly, this matter indeed needs to be tried.
Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang looked at each other, and the uncle and nephew pulled Chen Jinmin aside. Then Wang Qiang asked directly: "How did you get my watermelon knife?"
