"What, all gold coins?" A look of disbelief appeared on Huang Captou's fat face. After all, Liuhe Village was famous for its poverty. In the past, when he came here to collect taxes, all he paid were copper coins. He rarely visited the village.
When he saw gold coins, there were always people who defaulted on the payment and even arrested a few of them. But now it was different. They actually followed the rich people's style and paid taxes with gold coins. He was surprised and snorted coldly.
Said: "With so many gold coins, are they real or fake?"
The old village chief was startled and said with fear on his face: "Of course it's all true. Please check it on the spot."
"Okay, I'll check each one one by one. If there's a fake one, you're the only one to ask." A table was placed in front of Huang, which was square. He opened the money bag and put a piece of money on the table.
Instead, the gold coins poured out like running water, shining with light, which made this guy's eyes light up. Listening to the crisp sound, he already had the answer. They were indeed real gold coins.
After counting twice in a row, the number was accurate. Huang Captou curled his lips and said: "Your Liuhe Village always complains about poverty, saying that the people have no money. Now that all the money is turned in is gold, it seems to be very rich!"
The old village chief said hurriedly: "My lord, you are joking. These gold coins are all exchanged. In order to make it easier for the officials to count and carry them, we villagers are very poor and have to scrape together so much money."
"Don't talk about the useless ones. Being poor has nothing to do with me. Anyway, you have to pay taxes while you are alive, and you can only reduce them if you die." Huang Captou put the gold coins into the money bag again and put it in the storage bag.
Then he ordered the villagers to put the animal skins on the carriage and tied the ropes.
After finally passing this level, many villagers were in a happy mood. Unexpectedly, two more policemen came from the end of the village, leading two tall horses. One was as white as snow, and the other was like a blazing flame. They attracted everyone's attention and quickly turned their heads.
Looking over, there were a lot of comments, "Hey, these two horses look very familiar."
"Isn't it the one Tietou and Wu Tong rode back yesterday? It should be right, a white horse and a bay-red horse..."
Everyone turned around and looked at Qiu Yu and Wu Tong to see how the young pair reacted. Qiu Yu frowned, a chill flashed across his eyes, and subconsciously felt that trouble was coming. He only heard the beautiful sister beside him.
He whispered: "Tietou, the policeman has taken our horse, what should we do?" He responded: "Don't say anything later, I will deal with them."
The two detectives led the horses and quickly approached, shouting loudly, "Captain Huang, the robbed horses have been found..."
"This should be the mount of Bai Lingju, Huo Yunliu, and Yinjian Feihua. During our investigation, we saw it in a villager's yard and quickly brought it back."
Huang Captou nodded and said: "Very good, since the two horses were found in Liuhe Village, the evidence is conclusive, and it will be difficult for all the villagers to escape the involvement. If the murderer is not handed over, he will be jailed." The look on his face became darker.
With a ferocious look, he glanced at the faces of many villagers and said sternly: "Who brought these two horses back? Hurry up and tell the truth, otherwise you will all be suspects."
Many villagers couldn't help but be shocked. What was going on? Could it be that the iron head whom they regarded as a great hero was the murderer? No wonder he was so generous and could easily take out hundreds of gold coins. It seemed that the money was not easy to come by, and he might be provoked.
File a lawsuit!
People's hearts are always unclear, and people are different. Some villagers were afraid of being implicated. Although they were grateful to this son, they still turned to look at Qiu Yu. The meaning was self-evident, it was this son who brought back the two horses.
, has nothing to do with them.
Seeing the villagers like this, Wu Tong felt anxious. He felt that some villagers were too unethical and were clearly adding insult to injury. They had completely forgotten the benefits Tietou had brought to them, which was chilling!
As the saying goes, one person does the work and the other takes responsibility, Qiu Yu didn't want to be a coward. Moreover, it was not a stolen horse, but one he won in an honest way. There was nothing to be afraid of. He immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "These two horses
be mine……"
The surrounding villagers shouted and moved away, leaving only Wu Tong and Wu Yishan standing next to the boy. Seeing this scene, the old village chief was very anxious, but he didn't know what to do and was very worried about the young man.
Huang Captou glanced over with ferocious eyes, but he recognized the other person, and snorted coldly: "So it's you... Let me just say, the locals don't have such courage, they dare to attack the young men in the town and blackmail them.
They made a lot of money, and even robbed others of the horses they bought with a lot of money..."
It seems that those bastards reported it to the police, so the police officers staged such a show, which is really despicable! Qiu Yu was angry and said in a deep voice: "Sir, please allow me to state the facts. First, I have never attacked
Those bastards, secondly, they lost the horses and money to me in a bet..."
"You are bold and dare to quibble. It is clear that you were motivated by wealth and committed a heinous crime with a beautiful girl. It is unforgivable..." Huang Captou glanced at Wu Tong and made a promise in his heart. He probably made those rich young men
It is this girl that I can't forget. After all, she is so beautiful, and what man wouldn't like her.
Those young masters have already taken care of the yamen, and Capt. Huang has also been given hundreds of gold coins. In their line of work, they take people's money and help them to eliminate disasters, so there is nothing they can't bear. This guy hummed and said: "She is probably the woman next to the murderer.
, handcuff them both and take them back for rigorous interrogation."
A group of policemen rushed over like wolves and tigers, which surprised the old man Wu Yishan. He shouted that he was wronged and quickly blocked his granddaughter with his body, but was pushed away by the policemen. After all, the old man was injured and staggered.
He fell to the ground, gasping for air.
The detectives immediately tied Qiu Yu and Wu Tong with chains, and the leader sternly scolded: "Follow us quickly and be honest, otherwise I will be rude to you..."
Seeing his granddaughter being taken away, Wu Yishan shouted in tears, "Tong'er... don't arrest my granddaughter, it's none of her business..." Seeing the old man struggling to get up, he wanted to rush over to stop the arrest.
Come on, the old village chief quickly grabbed him and comforted him in a low voice: "Brother, don't be impulsive, you have to think about it carefully..."
At the moment when the chain was put on his neck, Qiu Yu's heart was filled with anger. He wished he could kick down these domineering policemen and take his sister away. However, there were more than a hundred officers and soldiers around, so he might not be able to escape easily, and would definitely be rounded up.
Interception, if there was a big fight, he would have no chance of winning. There would be villagers everywhere and innocent people would be hurt. He could only wait for the opportunity. He turned to look at Wu Tong and said in a deep voice: "Sister, you don't have to be afraid, trust me.
There is always a way to get you out of trouble..."
Before he could finish what he said, he was kicked hard by a police officer, who said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, you can't even protect yourself, and you still dare to talk big words."
Qiu Yu suddenly turned around, staring at the mustached policeman with cold eyes, and said solemnly: "I remember this kick, just wait, I will return it to you," but he received a few more kicks from the other party.
, and cursed angrily, "Why are you so crazy? You have the guts to beat me up."
"Well...I'm not afraid!" Although Wu Tong responded like this, she was still young and was treated as a criminal for the first time. She was also worried with a heavy chain on her shoulders, especially when she saw Tietou being beaten, which made her angry.
Her pretty face turned pale and she said angrily: "You are not allowed to hit him..." Xiao Nizi did not regret meeting Tietou at all. Her eyes were determined and she made up her mind that she would never allow anyone to harm her brother, even if she risked her own life.
Come and protect each other too.
The team of officers and soldiers left Liuhe Village, taking away a lot of animal skins and money, followed by a group of police officers, as well as the two horses Bai Lingju and Huo Yunliu. Qiu Yu and Wu Tong were sitting on the carriage as criminals, with their bodies
Wrapped in chains, backed up to each other, under the strict supervision of Huang Captou and others, they marched on the dirt road.
