When Zhu Qing stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the carriage, he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the young man tied up in the carriage.
"Mr. Zhou, why are you in there?" Zhu Qing recognized at a glance that the person in the car was none other than Zhou Zhengnan, who had helped her several times.
At this moment, he was tied up in the car and huddled in a corner of the carriage, looking in agony. Apparently, the turning over of the carriage also caused him a lot of damage.
"Everyone, come and save people." Zhu Qing and Zhu Zhu were both small and weak. Although they could get into the carriage, they could not get Zhou Zhengnan out of the carriage.
Hearing the shouts of Zhuqing and the others, Li Zheng rushed over quickly.
The villagers worked together to overturn the carriage and rescued Zhou Zhengnan from the carriage.
Seeing everyone in Cuizhu Village, a trace of joy flashed across Zhou Zhengnan's face. He was finally rescued!
As the rags in his mouth were torn off, and the rubber bands on his hands and feet were untied, he quickly thanked everyone in a hoarse voice.
Today, not only did he catch the scarred tiger, but he also saved the young man of the Zhou family. Li Zheng was very happy when he thought about the reward that the county magistrate had mentioned to him before!
Zhu Qing stepped forward to carefully examine the injuries on Zhou Zhengnan's body, and found that except for some scratches and bruises on his hands and feet, he had no other injuries, so he was relieved.
"Mr. Zhou, here, this mint leaf will be good for your wounds. You can apply it on it first." Zhu Qing handed him a handful of freshly picked mint leaves.
Zhou Zhengnan took the mint leaves from her hand and was a little at a loss. He had never tried using this to apply to wounds and didn't know if it would work. Zhu Qing smiled at him and explained: "This mint leaves are refreshing and have insecticidal properties."
It has the effect of removing blood stasis. The doctors nearby will be unable to arrive for a while, so Mr. Zhou will give it a try first to make himself feel more comfortable."
As she spoke, she crushed a few mint leaves, squeezed out some juice, and dripped it on Zhou Zhengnan's red, bruised wrists that had been strangled.
A cool feeling immediately relieved the burning stinging sensation in his injured area.
"It's really good!" Zhou Zhengnan nodded, and then he followed Zhu Qing's method, and also took mint leaves and applied it to his other injured areas. As expected, he felt much better.
The two of them were treating the wounds. On the other side, the scarred tiger was simply tied up and tied to a big tree at the entrance of the village.
It's just that the horse that fell innocently was seriously injured, and it seemed like it had a broken leg and couldn't stand up.
This scarred tiger has done many evil things and has bullied many people. Not only the Zhuqing family in Cuizhu Village, but also several other families have also been harmed by the Wu brothers. Now I see him tied to a tree
, had no resistance. Everyone couldn't help but come over and punch and kick him to vent their anger.
However, they didn't fight for a few times before they were stopped in the end. Two government servants sent by Captain Chen stopped everyone.
"Don't mention it, everyone, if you just beat him to death with random punches, you will be relieved. If there is someone behind this person, because he can't be identified because he is dead, wouldn't we have taken advantage of the real culprit in vain! This province's case is
Let’s leave the matter to the county magistrate!”
After hearing these words, everyone in Cuizhu Village seemed reasonable and stopped attacking.
However, the scarred tiger was beaten until his face was bruised and swollen. He never dreamed that he originally wanted to go to Cuizhu Village to kill people to vent his anger, but he was actually caught by the villagers of Cuizhu Village to vent his anger. Now his life and death are still in the hands of others.
in hands.
Li Zheng then quickly sent someone to accompany the two government officials to take Scared Tiger to the county government office.
After the previous incident of the Zhou family complaining and leaking secrets, Li Zheng no longer trusted the county government officials 100%. Therefore, he specially asked a few smart and capable tribesmen to follow him to the county government office.
Upon hearing the news that the scarred tiger was captured, the county magistrate Guan Dingzhong was also in high spirits.
As the saying goes, there are three things a new official should do when he takes office. Not long after he arrived in Changshan County, the arrest of the Wu family should be regarded as the first major case he personally supervised after taking office.
The Wu family, which had been turned a blind eye or simply ignored by the previous county magistrates, did cause a lot of trouble this time. They killed the quickest and resisted arrest, burned down the Wen family's mansion, and kidnapped the third wife of the Zhou family.
He and the young man of the Zhou family also committed crimes in the Zhou family's annex and killed several people. Each of these crimes was considered a serious crime.
Therefore, after the Wu family's third eldest son, Scar Lahu, and the fifth eldest son, Wu De, were arrested and brought to justice, County Magistrate Guan immediately sentenced them to death without delaying the execution until the end of autumn.
As for other members of the Wu family, those who committed many evil deeds and whose crimes were confirmed were sentenced to death by beheading, while others were exiled and given various orders.
For a time, not only the people in Ping'an Town near Wu's house clapped their hands and cheered, but also in Changshan County, people celebrated with their foreheads. Some wealthy households even lit up fireworks and set off firecrackers in the street.
After all, the entire Changshan County had been plunged into a state of terror where everyone was in danger and the news was trembling. No one knew when the fire in the Wen family's mansion would be their turn.
Now that this hidden danger has been completely eliminated, everyone is naturally very happy.
As the village that caught the culprit, Cuizhu Village was naturally praised by County Magistrate Guan. Li Zheng and Zhu Qing also received the rewards promised by Magistrate Guan for reporting the news to the county in advance and taking effective precautions in Cuizhu Village.
.
Master Zhou even sent someone over as soon as he knew that his eldest son Zhou Zhengnan had been kidnapped by the Wu family's third eldest son, Scared Tiger, and was rescued by people from Cuizhu Village!
Most of these generous thank-you gifts were divided among the villagers. After all, the entire village, almost every household, participated and contributed.
The others were specially given by the Zhou family to the Li Zheng family and Zhu Qing.
Naturally, Mr. Zhou sent someone to inquire carefully about the details of Scar Tiger's capture.
Therefore, we know that the stumbling rope at the entrance of the village was specially installed at Zhuqing's suggestion.
Of course, Zhuqing also equipped the villagers with self-defense medicine kits, but fortunately they did not come in use this time.
I guess Scared Tiger should be lucky, because if he had the chance to let Zhuqing or the villagers use it, he would not be as comfortable as being beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
When Magistrate Guan had people beat gongs and drums to deliver awards to Li Zheng and Zhu Qing, the whole Cuizhu Village was in a state of excitement.
Without him, Cuizhu Village was too ordinary and ordinary before this. The biggest officials in the village were just Li Zheng. Because they were all farmers with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky, they were even more so.
There are no scholars.
Generally, Cuizhu Village can only watch the excitement that other large villages may have.
This rare occasion, the commendation from the county government was so lively and noisy that it attracted people from nearby villages to come and watch the excitement. The people of Cuizhu Village felt that they had been out of the limelight.
