After Bai Banxia finished speaking, everyone watching couldn't help but become quiet.
Who has a family without girls? Even if you don’t have a daughter, don’t you have a mother, aunts, aunts, or cousins?
If the female members of your family are bullied like this, how can you stand by and watch?
The owner of the shop closest to Bai's stall shouted at the door: "I prove that this is what they said, they want to drown a widow with saliva!"
This shop was bought by Chu Yuan before, and the stall was given to Chu Yuan to compete with the Bai Banxia family. But later, the matter passed, and the Bai family did not hold grudges. Sometimes they even introduced business to him. The boss knew the Bai family's business very well.
Being human.
Jiang Xing glared at the boss fiercely and whispered: "You don't want to hang out anymore, do you?"
This is just to use them to hang out on the street and scare people.
The boss who testified was frightened, but he quickly calmed down.
"To be honest, it's useless for you to threaten me. I don't believe that the government will let people like you do harm to the people." The owner of the shop next door said.
Zhou Hai suddenly knocked on the alarm and said: "Well said! Those who know the truth boldly testify, I want to see who dares to threaten everyone in the county government?"
I really thought the county magistrate was a vegetarian.
When the county magistrate said this, everyone who was still a little scared calmed down.
Yes, this is a government office. What are you afraid of these ruffians?
So many people spoke one after another.
"Sir, that's what they said. They also said they wanted to humiliate Du Sanniang in the street."
"The Bai family rented Du Sanniang's stall, but her daughter-in-law was there every day, and the two families were on good terms. As a result, these bastards were like mad dogs and spread rumors that she was just mediocre."
"The man left, and she raised the children by herself. She has always behaved well. The tofu she sells is delicious and not expensive, and the food is fresh and clean. But in the end, she has to be gossiped about by these ruffians."
"Maybe they didn't receive the protection money, so they used this dirty trick? A few days ago they came to my shop and asked for money. I gave it to them because I was afraid of causing trouble."
"..."
Everyone, you looked at me and said one word at a time, not only did you testify for Du Sanniang, but you also exposed many things that the Beggar Gang did to oppress the people.
Zhou Hai's face turned livid with anger, "I didn't know you beggars actually formed a gang and were so arrogant?"
Jiang Xing hurriedly pretended to be pitiful and said: "Sir, we are all poor and begging for food, how can we bully the people? The Bai family bribed them!"
As he spoke, he coughed, and a mouthful of blood came out. He groaned and said, "My teeth have been knocked out, who is bullying whom?"
Bai Banxia sneered, pointed at the people outside the door and said: "So many people have been bribed by me? Even if I am as rich as the enemy, I can bribe them with money. How can I win people's hearts?"
Everyone agreed, saying that they were not bribed, they just couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to speak out what was in their hearts.
An old woman also said: "When that ruffian spread the rumor just now, I also thought that the failure to clap was not caused by the widow's exposure. But now I understand, how do people live and support themselves if they don't do business?"
Eldest son? I was wrong. We are all women. We should understand that it is not easy for women. People’s words are terrible, and many people say that they will not survive!"
The old woman started to cry as she spoke, "My sister used to be like this. She became a widow and was criticized by others. In the end, she was hanged with a rope."
Everyone listening was a little moved. If Bai Banxia and the others hadn't stood up to defeat these ruffians today, and Bai Banxia hadn't encouraged Du Sanniang to beat the drum and voice her grievances, would Du Sanniang be the next one to commit suicide?
Shunzi also said beside him: "Aunt Du is a good person and rented a house for us to live in, but these beggars robbed our shabby house and almost beat me to death!"
Everyone was sighing again. What kind of people are these poor people who can only beg for food? They also robbed a few children's shabby houses and almost beat the children to death.
Bai Banxia patted Shunzi on the shoulder and told him not to be angry, as these people would be punished.
Originally, she didn't have time to worry about the land grab. She just wanted Xiaoyu and the others not to fight those gangsters and to avoid them.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xing came to the door himself.
"Sir, look at them. They have hands and feet, and some of them have some martial arts skills. How come they have no food to eat and go begging? They clearly want to continue to be poor and blackmail them, as if I am weak and I am justified." Bai Banxia added.
said.
"I'm weak but I'm reasonable?" Zhou Hai stroked his beard, "This description is very appropriate, they just use this as a courtesy."
"Now that so many people have testified, what else do you have to say?" Zhou Hai asked, knocking on the wall.
Jiang Xing was startled and said hurriedly: "Sir, don't listen to their nonsense. We, the Beggar Clan, are the most kind-hearted people. We even helped the inspector."
These words made Zhou Hai stunned. He looked at Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen, and it was obvious that they didn't know about this either.
"It's nonsense. The Inspector has countless men, so why would he ask you for help? I think you made it up because you were afraid of being punished, right?" Zhou Hai said deliberately in disbelief.
Anyway, Du Kangcheng is not here, so even if it is true, it must be said to be false.
Bai Banxia was very satisfied with Zhou Hai's approach and said: "The inspector is busy with the project in Maple Tree Village and is not in the town. How could he ask you for help? Who are you kidding?"
"It's true. If you don't believe me, go ask the inspector!" Jiang Xing said confidently.
Zhou Hai was startled, "That's nonsense. Then what did you say you helped the inspector do? What did you need to do?"
Jiang Xing was speechless at this time and hesitantly said: "The inspector told me to keep it secret, so I can't talk about it."
"In that case, it's up to you how to make it up? Just like you made up rumors to ruin Du Sanniang's reputation?"
"Even if the Inspector arranged an errand for you, and it has nothing to do with you harming people and oppressing the people, you wouldn't have to fabricate it again because the Inspector ordered you to do it, right?"
Zhou Hai's face darkened, "It seems I can't help you if I don't give you some advice. If someone comes, let's hit twenty big shots each first and see if they can recruit!"
Zhang Tie winked at Li Jinniu and the others. Li Jinniu understood and moved his hands directly, not giving them a chance to yell and talk nonsense.
The officials had long been dissatisfied with these gangsters, and their attacks were much heavier than usual. As soon as the board came down, several people passed out, and those who were still unconscious had no strength to speak.
"Put them in jail first, and wait until I find out all their crimes before punishing them." After Zhou Hai finished speaking, he ordered the clerk to take notes and record the testimonies of the people at the door to see what other bad things this beggar gang had done.
Seeing that they were being held in the old house, Shunzi smiled happily, but she laughed and cried again.
"I was almost beaten to death by them, our home was gone, and we were scattered. I thought I would have to swallow my anger for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect their retribution to come so soon!" Shunzi cried.
