Chapter 78: Saving Zhou Tielan.
Chapter 78: Saving Zhou Tielan.
Ye Kun jumped off his horse, took out Zhou Tiehu's handwritten letter from his arms, and threw it on the ground:
"Tiehu, this is the letter you wrote to the bandits. That's why Guojianglong came to trouble me that day and wanted to steal Caidie."
When Zhou Tiehu saw this, he collapsed to the ground.
He knew that Ye Kun would not let him go.
County Magistrate Wang shouted, "Tie up the entire Zhou family and put them in the car!"
The soldiers stepped forward, punched and kicked the Zhou family man, tied him up, and threw him on the carriage.
The women and children of the Zhou family cried heartbreakingly and shouted for mercy.
"Lord Wang!"
Ye Kun began to act like a good person, clasped his fists and said:
"Emperor Zhou Tiehu is colluding with the bandits, but the women and children are innocent. Please show some mercy!"
Upon hearing this, the Zhou family members burst into tears: "Master Ye, thank you for saving our lives. You must save us!"
Zhou Tielan shouted the loudest: "Brother Dalang, you must help us!"
County Magistrate Wang frowned:
"Sir Ye, as a county lieutenant, don't you know the laws of the court? If one person commits treason, the whole family will be executed. Zhou Taigong and his son colluded with bandits and committed treason, so the whole family must be imprisoned and await punishment!"
"This... ugh!"
Ye Kun stamped his feet anxiously and clasped his fists repeatedly:
"I am from Caomiao Village, a member of the Zhou family, and also my fellow villagers. How can I bear this? Lord Wang, take the adult men of the Zhou family away first. The other women and children will be kept in custody for the time being. What do you think?"
"Okay, for Lord Ye's sake, the women and children of the Zhou family will be temporarily detained where they are, their property will be sealed, and someone will be assigned to guard them strictly."
Lord Wang finally showed mercy and said, "Lord Ye, please make the arrangements. We have other tasks to do."
Ye Kun nodded, called Wang Bao and Zhu Dachun, and took the women of the Zhou family into the house.
The people from the Zhou family were detained in the main hall and made to sit on the ground and not allowed to move.
All other rooms were sealed.
"Brother Dalang, please help me..."
Zhou Tielan squatted on the ground, pulling at Ye Kun's trouser legs, tears streaming down her face.
"Tie Lan, don't worry."
Ye Kun squatted down, touched Tielan's head, and whispered in her ear:
"I'll be back in the afternoon and will definitely find a way to help you. Wait for me, don't worry."
"Brother Dalang, thank you so much!"
Zhou Tielan held Ye Kun's hand tightly.
"wait me back."
Ye Kun pulled his hand away, turned around and walked out, leaving twenty soldiers to guard the women of the Zhou family, and asked Qin Chou and the tiger-hunting team to help watch over them.
Then, Ye Kun took the others and the tiger-hunting team from Guanjia Village and attacked Guanjia Village directly.
When he arrived at Guanjia Village, it was Ye Kun's turn to be the bad guy.
"Surround the Guan family and don't let anyone escape! Anyone who dares to escape or resist arrest will be killed on the spot!"
Soon, the entire Guan family was brought out.
Hundreds of villagers from Guanjia Village came to watch.
Guan Lao Ye was a big fat man who also knew County Magistrate Wang. He shouted:
"County Magistrate Wang, what's going on? I want to see County Magistrate Liu. Last month, Liu came to my house for a drink."
Ye Kun kicked him and gave him a slap in the face:
"Old dog, Lord Wang is here to investigate a case, not to establish a relationship with you. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll chop off your head first!"
Master Guan had blood all over his mouth and looked at Ye Kun in fear.
County Magistrate Wang ordered Shen Dalang to be brought out, threw out the wooden slips and bamboo slips as evidence, and said with a wry smile:
"Master Guan, you have committed such a heinous crime that has wiped out your entire family. Not to mention the county magistrate, I'm afraid even the governor can't save you."
When Master Guan saw Shen Dalang and the evidence of the correspondence, he collapsed to the ground and started to curse:
"Shen Dalang, you framed me... I didn't write this letter to the bandits. It was a frame-up!"
Shen Dalang remained indifferent and rolled his eyes.
He deliberately kept these letters because he was afraid that this day would come and he hoped to atone for his sins.
Ye Kun grabbed Master Guan's beard and said with a smile:
"Old dog, so you know Shen Dalang? We haven't even introduced ourselves yet, and you're confessing? You haven't even read these wooden and bamboo slips, and you know they're forged documents to collude with bandits?"
"me……"
Mr. Guan was unable to justify himself and became so angry that he fainted.
"Someone come!" Ye Kun shouted:
"Tan Bamao, Wang Bao, Qin Erwu, bring 20 soldiers to put the entire Guan family on a carriage and send them to the county town. If anyone escapes on the way, kill them without mercy! Guanjia Village tiger hunting captain Zhao Biao, bring five members of the tiger hunting team to escort them together."
Zhao Biao hesitated for a moment: "Master Ye, I..."
They are all from the same village, and Zhao Biao doesn't want to offend anyone.
Ye Kun frowned: "This is an order!"
"As ordered."
Zhao Biao had no choice but to obey the order and selected five members of the tiger-hunting team to accompany him along the way.
Ye Kun bowed to County Magistrate Wang:
"Sir Wang, I leave this to you. Please work hard. I still have to go back to Caomiao Village. Wang Dagui, you stay and cooperate with Sir Wang!"
Mr. Guan has a lot of money and a lot of benefits.
So this is handed over to County Magistrate Wang.
Ye Kun kept Wang Da Kui from Cao Miao Village and regarded him as his own, hoping that County Magistrate Wang would not be too greedy.
County Magistrate Wang clasped his fists and said, "Lord Ye has worked hard, too."
Ye Kun smiled, jumped on his horse, and hurried back to Cao Miao Village.
After not sleeping all night, fighting intensively all day, and not eating, Ye Kun was almost exhausted.
However, Ye Kun was also very excited after overthrowing Zhou Taigong.
And Zhou Tielan, her crying appearance is really heartbreaking.
It was already evening when we rode back to Caomiao Village.
Ye Kun was very hungry. He arrived at the door of his house, dismounted and entered the house, smiling, "Yourong, I'm hungry. Bring me some fruit to eat."
"Master!"
Jiang Yourong hurriedly took it, poured tea for Ye Kun, and brought some dried fruits:
"Husband, please eat quickly. Dinner is not ready at home. I'll go to the workshop to see if dinner is ready there."
"Need not."
Ye Kun held Jiang Yourong and ate dried persimmons. "Madam, please get me a basin of water so I can wash my face. I also need to search Zhou's house and count the property."
After running all day, my head and face were covered with dust.
Dai Xi had already fetched some water and brought it over. He asked in a low voice, "Brother Dalang, is the Zhou family really colluding with the bandits?"
"The evidence is irrefutable. Besides, that old beast, Zhou Taigong, even let the robbers come and rob you, saying that you were a widow and no one cared about you."
"what?"
Dai Xi's face turned pale with fright.
Jiang Yourong was also horrified: "Fortunately it wasn't snatched away, otherwise I would have been dead."
Ye Kun washed his face and said with a wry smile: "So, don't feel sorry for the Zhou family. They deserve it."
Jiang Yourong sighed: "It's just that the Zhou family's children are pitiful..."
"Yes."
Ye Kun nodded, and when he saw his third aunt Youcai coming over, he picked her up and said with a smile, "Third sister, your brother-in-law will go over now and kill the vicious dog that chased you the day before yesterday. We can eat dog meat tonight, okay?"
Youcai smiled and said, "I don't eat dog meat..."
"Then I'll eat."
Ye Kun laughed and patted Youcai's little butt: "Go play with Ping'er, wait for me to come back."
Jiang Yourong took over the third sister and whispered:
"My husband, this time you led the troops to raid the home of Duke Zhou. I'm afraid that in the future... we will have a mortal enemy for generations."
Although she was illiterate, Jiang Yourong knew that this incident had a huge impact.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, I have plans."
Ye Kun comforted Jiang Yourong and Dai Xi, took a few persimmon cakes, ate them while walking, and headed to Zhou's house.
The women and children of the Zhou family were still being held in the main room, where they could hear suppressed cries.
"Hold the lamp!"
Ye Kun entered the room and waved, "Stop crying, I'm back."
"Brother Dalang, you are back."
Zhou Tielan knelt on the ground and held Ye Kun's hand: "Brother Dalang, I want to go to the toilet, I want to relieve myself, but the soldiers won't let me..."
The soldier rolled his eyes and said, "I asked you to go to the toilet, but you jumped into the toilet to commit suicide? Or hanged yourself?"
"Okay, Tielan, come with me."
Ye Kun waved his hand and took Zhou Tielan into Grandpa Zhou’s bedroom.
