Chapter 132 Confrontation at the Ancestral Hall
Jia Lan stepped forward to salute Sheng Liu, raised his head and said righteously, "Master, I am really sorry for bothering you late at night, but this matter has had a great impact, and every family wants to know the result and an explanation. It's better to be more accommodating, and it won't be too late to take the person away after we have a clear trial of this matter!"

"It's late at night, and you have been busy patrolling for a day. You really need a good rest. It is our government's responsibility to protect the people and catch the thieves. I think the thieves should be handed over to us first. We will inform you after the trial is clear. you!"

Sheng Liu unintentionally glanced somewhere, but still persisted with a sullen face.

"Officer, how can we sleep peacefully after this incident? If we can't hear the whereabouts of the child today, let alone sleep, even if we can't eat, please sit down and listen, we are just want a result."

He was so anxious that even the men in Dongqiao Village began to ask Sheng Liu. When he said this, everyone around him echoed.

"It's not that I'm not flexible enough, it's just that it's our government's responsibility to adjudicate cases..."

Sheng Liu wanted to say something to break the thoughts of these villagers and take them away earlier, but unexpectedly Jia Lan snorted heavily.
"My lord, the law does not tolerate mercy, but the law is nothing more than human feelings. So many of us are concerned about this case and want to have it tried as soon as possible, but the lord obstructs us like this, as if he is afraid that we will know something we shouldn't know!"

Sheng Liu's heart skipped a beat, and he stared at him displeasedly, "You are upright, how can you speak like this without restraint, I have something that I'm afraid you will know, but I just feel that the sky is dark and the dew is heavy, and I want to get someone early Just go back and rest!"

"Now that this kind of thing is happening in various villages, the official is still sleeping leisurely? Could it be that he didn't take what happened these days at all?"

"Since the official thinks we are cumbersome and troublesome, he probably won't care about the trial case, so I won't bother the official tonight, we will solve it ourselves!"

"That's right. If you say that you are dedicated to the people, I think you are good at collecting people's fat and anointing!"

"..."

Sheng Liu's words strongly aroused the dissatisfaction of the villagers, and everyone refuted him, making him jump on his feet angrily.

"How can you talk like that, don't you want to rebel?"

Sheng Liu took the lead in flashing his sword, followed by the officials behind him.

Originally thought that being so strong could suppress the villagers, but Jia Lan would not compromise at all.

"Could it be that the rebellion is based on a word from your government officials, as long as we are not as good as you want, you will label us a rebellion? But you don't look back at what you have done?
We just asked you to stay and listen for a while, to be a witness. Does this make you embarrassed?

Officials, you are also the people around us. You should also know what happened recently. You also have sons and daughters. May I ask you, can you fall asleep when encountering such a thing?We want to hear this matter tonight, do you want to hear it now, or do you want to wait until tomorrow? "

Jia Lan passed Sheng Liu directly, bowed his hands to the official behind him, and asked from the bottom of his heart.

These officials are all local people, unlike the heads of the government who are transferred from other places by the imperial court, they don't think about the local people, and they don't want to control them!
Jia Lan's words really hit their hearts, and they all kept this matter in their hearts. In their view, there was nothing wrong with Lizheng and the villagers trying the matter overnight. Out of respect, they were invited to sit and listen. If the result of the trial came out, it would not be too late to take the person away, and I don't know why Master Sheng didn't want to have a trial, and he wanted to be tough with the villagers.

Although it is wrong, they dare not disobey Master Sheng's arrangement, after all, they rely on the government to pay them salaries.

Jia Lan's words put the officials in a dilemma. After thinking about it, one of the officials bit the bullet and persuaded, "Master Sheng, why don't you sit down and listen, and it won't delay the matter. If you can crack it, it will be a credit to you. "

The officer behind him also nodded, looking at him expectantly.

Sheng Liu took a step back and turned his gaze to the crowd again. Seeing Er Niang Qin anxiously gestured to him, he couldn't help but panic.

If he delays this matter any longer, it will indeed arouse the anger of the people. Besides, the thirty officials behind him cannot compete with the hundreds of them. Moreover, these officials do not want to fight with the villagers at all. …

But if these "thieves" are not dealt with as scapegoats, the case that has been a sensation for so long cannot be suppressed. If the higher-ups are angered, his official position may not be guaranteed...

Sheng Liu was caught in a battle between heaven and man, but looking at the situation, he couldn't help but make a choice, even with the thirty officials behind him, he couldn't take those "thieves" away.

Didn't I hear that they have already planned it, so it's better to do what they want, listen to it, I guess based on what these villagers say, [-]% of them don't believe that these thieves are wronged.

"That's fine, since you insist on your own opinions, it's okay for us to listen!"

With Sheng Liu's approval, the villagers finally felt relieved.

At this time, the surrounding area of ​​the ancestral hall was full of torches, and it was as bright as day. The top speakers in each village and Sheng Liu Jialan stood in the front row, and many people spread out on both sides, and Du Chenyu, Su Mo, Su Ying Su Juan and the others surrounded her.

Everyone was about to inquire about their child's whereabouts, but Jia Lan waved his hand to stop them, and looked at Erniang Qin who was aside.

"From Qin Er's family, you said they knocked you out? What's going on? Can you explain in detail?"

These words made the villagers a little dissatisfied immediately, "Lizheng, what are you asking this for now, you should ask where they hid their children, that's the big deal!"

The villagers below agreed, and Jia Lan raised his hand to stop him, "I have my own intentions, and I'm still not sure if they are the thieves who took the child. After I interrogate carefully, you will understand!"

Seeing that Jia Lan said it with confidence, the people below didn't have much to say.

Qin Er Niang was a little panicked, she covered her head and said weakly, "I'm a little dizzy, and I can't remember clearly. I only heard that the village was on fire. I went out to look, and then I was knocked out!"

"Did you get knocked out after seeing someone, or did you get knocked out after not seeing anyone?"

"The one who was knocked out after seeing someone, I remember very clearly, it was he who knocked me out!"

The second lady Qin suddenly pointed at Du Chenyu firmly.

"Then what were they doing when you saw them?" Jia Lan stared at Second Lady Qin and asked, not letting go of any look on her face.

"I saw them sitting in a carriage, and there was a child in the carriage, a girl, who seemed to be Nini from Mrs. Mei's family!"

"Yes, that's right, it's my family's Nini, Li Zheng, this is all right, don't speak for these foreigners, and quickly ask them where the other children are?"

Father Nini slapped his thigh when he hugged the child. Now that the child is in danger of being taken away by thieves at home, he dare not be careless at all times, so he can only feel at ease by holding the child himself.

This can be regarded as speaking to the hearts of other people, and it is reasonable to quickly ask Jia Lan to question those foreign talents.

Jia Lan waved her hand and looked at Second Lady Qin again, "The Second Qin's family, since you were knocked out by them, how did you know that they went to the mountain road? When you walk out of Tian's house, there are several roads to choose from. Why do you Are you sure they must go to the mountain road?"
