The melee between the Yinjiazhuang villagers and the state government officials ended quickly as Yin San and his son, who were imprisoned in the ancestral hall, were successfully rescued.
Obviously, some people realized that something was wrong and no longer had the intention to continue to encourage the villagers to confront the officials.
The idea that the people will not fight against the officials is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The villagers of Ren Yinjiazhuang have a tough character, but they do not dare to openly confront the officials.
It was secretly instigated by the leading figures in the village, and the anger in their hearts made them stronger. As a result, the officials showed a tough attitude and beat them for a while. When the villagers of Yinjiazhuang came back to their senses, they said in their hearts that they were not afraid.
Liar ghost.
If you encounter a ruthless person, just label them as a rebel and raze Yinjiazhuang to the ground in one go, and the court will not pursue them too closely afterwards.
Damn, you actually have the guts to fight with an official who is on a business trip. What do you bunch of unscrupulous people want to do?
Although it is a bit excessive to label Ya a rebel, it is not nonsense.
Especially at such a sensitive moment, Yinjiazhuang's stubborn resistance simply adds fuel to the fire. If it is suspected that this place has the same nature as a killer village, one can imagine the consequences for Yinjiazhuang.
In short, without the leading figures in the village fanning the flames and agitating wildly, the villagers who reacted were frightened and were quickly suppressed and arrested by the angry state officials.
On the flat ground in front of the ancestral hall, the villagers of Yinjiazhuang squatted with bruises and swollen faces. Several seriously injured people were lying aside waiting to be dealt with.
Hundreds of people gathered together, and except for the occasional shouting and cursing from officials, it was actually a bit too quiet.
"Don't ask the village chief and several clan elders to run away. I will come to them later if I have something to do!"
The eldest man, Dama Jindao, was sitting on a bench at the entrance of the ancestral hall. His voice was not loud but it was clearly heard by the villagers, causing a small commotion.
"Yin San, tell me clearly what you committed!"
Ignoring the strange movements of the villagers, and waiting for the noisy noise to stop, the elder asked someone to bring out Yin San who had just been rescued, and spoke with a half-smile.
"Sir, your lord is wise!"
Yin San was obviously very frightened in the past two days. He knelt down in front of the old man with a plop, his body staggered and almost fell over. He stammered and he didn't know whether he really had a stuttering problem or had other ideas?
"Don't you have a clear idea of what you did? Do you still want me to punish you?"
The eldest man looked displeased and sneered: "Or should I continue to hand you over to the Yin clan?"
Yin San's body trembled, and his face instantly turned pale. He didn't dare to hesitate and said hurriedly: "My lord, I said, I said..."
This guy didn't know if he was really frightened, but in order to survive, he talked about how he conspired with the Qingke servants around Mr. Zheng, and how he defrauded the canal of 30,000 taels of silver.
In the quiet environment, although Yin San's voice was not loud, most of the villagers heard it clearly, and there was an uproar.
Yin San is so brave, he actually dared to defraud the imperial court of 30,000 taels of silver for river management!
No wonder Lord Zhizhou personally led his officials and dispatched the government officials to rush towards him today. This was such a big deal that it shocked the world, and they wouldn't have been able to sit idly by and ignore it.
In the eyes of the villagers in Yinjiazhuang, thirty thousand taels of silver is definitely an incredible sum of money. Yin San is so bold that he is obviously dead this time!
Not to mention that a group of villagers were stunned and at a loss. Even the state and county government officials who were on the mission had their eyes wide open and looked in disbelief.
While they were shocked by Yin San's boldness, they were also quite disdainful of the officials who had been deceived.
What kind of brain does it take for someone like Yin San to be deceived out of 30,000 taels of silver by such a coward? He is simply an extremely incompetent person in the trash.
The local magistrate was also stunned. He was not surprised by Yin San's boldness, but was a little puzzled by the elder's personal handling of a case involving a mere thirty thousand taels of silver.
Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver!
This is no joke. As the eldest master, as the governor of Tongzhou, he is not greedy. The normal filial piety he receives every year is at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. He will not take thirty thousand taels of silver seriously.
What's more, this is still the money from Hedao Yamen, which has little to do with the local government. If you cheat, you will cheat. Why bother to do so?
"The person in charge of the dredging project of the Tongzhou section of the canal is my second brother!"
Seeing the doubts in this guy's mind at a glance, the eldest man spoke calmly, with no trace of embarrassment on his face, as if the second son Zheng had nothing to do with him.
"Tell me, where did the money go?"
Ignoring the surprised look on the local magistrate's face, the elder looked directly at Yin San and spoke calmly, his voice was not loud enough but it was loud enough to make Yin San's ears thunderous.
"this……"
Yin San's face turned pale, and he hesitated for a long time without saying a word of relevant information. It was obvious that he was very scrupulous about this topic.
"You have to think clearly!"
The elder didn’t push him, but said with a smile: “Master Zhou is still in the labor camp on the construction site. It’s hard to say when he will be able to regain his freedom!”
Seeing Yin San's expression moving slightly, it was obvious that the elder's words were very effective, so he continued to smile and said: "If I hadn't been in time just now, I'm afraid your wife would have sunk into the pond and died!"
This sentence obviously touched Yin San even more. The man suddenly raised his head, his face full of ferocious hatred and his eyes full of deep hatred that could not be resolved, and said loudly: "I said, I hope you can make the decision for me!"
"Yin San, don't talk nonsense!"
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the villagers who were surrounded by the officials. The village chief Yin Fugui and several young men tried to break through the cordon set by the officials. However, before they could come forward, they were rudely treated by the surrounding officials. I called him back, he really didn’t know how to live or die!
"Yin Fugui, you are a beast. You are jealous of the money in my hands. You actually want to harm my whole family because of the clan rules. You are an old bastard who gave birth to a son without sex. I will expose your true face to the sun!"
Seeing the village chief Yin Fugui struggling to rush over, the hatred in Yin San's eyes became even more intense. The veins on his forehead popped out and he roared. He kowtowed to the elder three times and loudly told the story about the silver and his own. The experience was told.
As expected, Yin San directly admitted that half of the money he had obtained through fraud was given directly to Captain Zhou as protection money. He originally planned to wait for the news to pass and then slowly move the remaining money back to the village.
I just didn't expect that somehow the village chief got to know the news. Yin Fugui, who was always cruel and ruthless, did not ask for money from him, but directly colluded with the clan elders to catch him unprepared and hid it in his home. Some of the money and banknotes were taken away.
"You kid farted!"
Not far away, Yin Fugui was so angry that he yelled: "When did I steal your silver and silver? You bastard, you are trying to die by yourself, don't bite others randomly!"
The other clan elders also shouted angrily, each one filled with righteous indignation as if they had really been greatly wronged.
What's even more annoying is that the villagers surrounded by the officials actually believed their lies and turned blue with anger. If they hadn't been worried about the serious consequences of going against the officials, there would have been another disturbance.
"enough!"
The elder shouted in a low voice, and the sound was like a thunderous explosion, which made the ears of the restless Yinjiazhuang villagers buzz, and they were frightened and dared not hum.
Not to mention that the villagers were frightened, even the officials from the prefectural government and the county government were so frightened that they trembled, feeling so shocked that they secretly exclaimed, "How majestic, sir!"
"Whether you have robbed money or banknotes, wouldn't it be clear by searching your house?"
The elder chuckled lightly, and glanced at Yin Fugui and several clan elders with a sharp and cold gaze. They were so frightened that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and then he ordered the confidant around him to follow Jia Jie: "Take a few veterans of the case, go
The village chief and several tribesmen’s houses will be searched, don’t make too much noise, and don’t take anything from their homes at will!”
Under the shocked and frightened gazes of Yin Fugui, the head of Yinjiazhuang Village, and several elders, Jia Jie took the order and summoned several experienced case handlers from the prefecture and county government, escorting Yin San to identify those persons in person.
Leave the house.
Just a moment later, there was a burst of yelling and crazy dog barking from the center of the village not far away, but it soon turned into the howling of women and the crying of children.
The elder's heart was as calm as the water, and he stared calmly at the hundreds of Yinjiazhuang villagers who were surrounded in front of the ancestral hall. For some reason, the villagers felt great mental pressure, and their original intention to make a fuss suddenly faded away, and all of them were very honest.
Don't dare to mess around.
When Jia Jie and his men came over carrying large wooden boxes, Yin Fugui, the head of Yinjiazhuang Village, and several clan elders, who had been struggling so hard before, all fell to the ground with gray faces.
"Sir, from the homes of Yin Fugui and several clan members, we found a total of eight thousand taels of silver and almost fifteen thousand taels of silver notes. In addition, the land deeds and some valuable items in their homes totaled almost tens of thousands taels.
The value of silver!”
boom!
Jia Jie's report was loud and loud, and it suddenly exploded in the ears of hundreds of villagers.
How can this be?
The property deeds owned by the clan leader and several clan elders are worth more than 30,000 taels of silver!
At this time, Yin San, who was going with him, said angrily: "Sir, the silver and banknotes that I brought back are all here!"
As he said that, he pointed to another inconspicuous small box and automatically reported it to Shushu without waiting for the elder to ask: "A total of one thousand five hundred taels of silver, and there are also thirteen thousand taels of silver notes!"
Tsk!
The elder couldn't help but sigh softly, looked back at the local magistrate with an ugly expression, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that the village chief of a small Yinjiazhuang and several small landowners would have so much money on hand.
Sure enough, the people in Gyeonggi are very wealthy!"
"My lord, you are joking. I guess it was the village chief and several clan elders who secretly acquired such a huge family fortune through plunder. The clothes on the villagers in front of me don't look like wealthy people no matter how you look at them."
!”
The local magistrate smiled awkwardly and sneered: "We must conduct a thorough investigation and find out where the prominent figures in Yinjiazhuang came from!"
"Yes, we must examine it clearly!"
The eldest man spoke calmly and said leisurely: "The rumors of evil ghosts in the village are caused by these guys!"
When the local county magistrate heard this, his face turned pale and he trembled violently. He was already worried in his heart.
During the previous private visit, things in Yinjiazhuang were quite strange, especially the large pond in the center of the village. If you stared at it for a while, you would feel a chill rising from your heart.
On the way, I heard the cruel methods of the village chief Yin Fugui and the clan elders. I don’t know how many innocent women were drowned in this pond. Maybe something strange happened out of anger!
