Rebirth of the beauty of the peasant girl

Chapter 357
Qingluo's words silenced the leading man for a moment, then he turned around and said something to the victims behind him, then looked at Qingluo again, and said in a deep voice, "Master Zhixian speaks indiscriminately."

"Okay, come and explain to me why rich man Li's house was robbed and why his servant was killed!"

The man said slowly: "I am their Li Zheng, and I brought them out. I can't just watch the villagers starve to death. The government doesn't care, what can we do!"

Qing Luo stared at him coldly: "You pay for your life, you should be clear, right?"

The man hesitated for a while, and said, "Master Zhixian, I have something to say to you alone."

"Master, don't let him approach, it may be dangerous!" Huang Sanli reminded Qingluo faithfully.

Hearing this, the man threw the stick in his hand, raised his hand, and said mockingly: "If I want to do something, can you guys protect your little baby county magistrate? If you don't dare, go back to the county government office." Hide away!"

Several yamen servants were full of anger when they heard this, "You dare to disrespect the county magistrate, are you courting death?"

"Retire." Qingluo motioned to several yamen servants.

"My lord, this is a gang of mobs, no!" Huang Sanli urged.

Qingluo said lightly: "They don't dare to do anything to me, let him come over."

After all, she is an official appointed by the imperial court, and ordinary people are absolutely unwilling to be enemies with officials.

What's more, this leader seems to be quite rational. The matter must be resolved, and it is useless to hide.

Several yamen servants moved out of the way to let the man approach.

Qingluo walked a few steps away from him, and said: "You could have asked the government for help, why not?"

The man sneered: "Government? How many officials in the world really think about the people? There are more than 200 people in my village. Those who were drowned or starved to death are only a few left. Which official is willing to take care of it!"

The man's eyes were red as he spoke.

"The government doesn't want to take care of it, and you can't avenge your kindness! Rich Li doesn't owe you anything, he kindly provided food, but what did you do?"

"We were very grateful to rich man Li at first, but later the steamed buns he gave were all rotten, so we just had to bear it. But there are also old people and children, and several of them fell ill..." The man took a deep breath, Then he said, "At first I just wanted to ask him to give the elderly and children some clean food that they could eat, but...they came out and chased us away, scolding us for being greedy..."

Qingluo: "And then?"

"During the chaos, one of our old people was knocked out, and then he couldn't hold on anymore..." The man choked up for a moment, and soon returned to normal, "The people in the village were also forced to be out of breath, so they rushed forward and said that they must be reasonable. In the end, the two sides fought..."

Qingluo asked: "Apart from that old man, are there any casualties among you?"

"Three or four died, and a few were injured. It wasn't too serious. If it was serious, they wouldn't be able to survive..."

It seems that the casualties on both sides are about the same.

All of a sudden, it was six or seven lives.

This is considered a big case. After she has tried it, she has to report it to a higher-level official, that is, the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture in Pingyang County.

For such a major criminal case, she only has the right to hear and has no right to judge.

It is even more impossible to conceal it.

Therefore, although she also sympathized with these disaster victims, killing is killing, and she must bring them back for trial.

"Don't worry, I won't do favoritism if I hurt the family members of your villagers. I will bring rich man Li back to the county government office. Whatever happens."

Unexpectedly, the man plopped and knelt down to her: "Sir, I came here to discuss this matter with you. I know that murder pays for life. If you want to take me back, take me back. The villagers listen to me, they are all innocent !"

When the villagers not far away saw him kneeling down, they immediately caused a commotion.

A few men tried to rush over, but were stopped by a few yamen servants.

Qingluo frowned slightly: "You get up first, and let your villagers see that they thought I did something to you!"

The man stood up slowly, lowered his head, and his thin face was full of pain: "Many of our family members are gone, and I can't let them be taken away again...Please look at the sake of these suffering people... ..."

"It's not good, Master Lizheng, someone has fainted again!" There was a sudden confusion among the villagers, and someone shouted.

The man's expression changed, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, I'll go back and have a look—"

Before Qingluo nodded, he hurried back to the villagers.

Qingluo saw that he squatted down to check the person first, but the person didn't respond, so she wanted to go over and have a look.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden commotion there, saying something like "I was starved to death again".

Then a man shouted loudly: "Folks, we can't spare these bastards and old landlords, we rushed in and robbed them of food!"

"That's right, why do they eat hot and spicy food, and we can't even eat a cornbread!"

"That's right, they beat our man to death yesterday, and we fought him!"

In an instant, the crowd became passionate, and the anger ignited the whole crowd, and they rushed towards Qing Luo and rich man Li.

"Everyone, don't be impulsive! Calm down and listen to me..." Li Zheng, the leader, shouted anxiously, trying to stop them.

However, the anger and panic caused by the constant death and hunger have completely made them lose their minds.

No matter how the man yelled to stop him, the angry villagers rushed over——

Qingluo's pupils narrowed slightly, and she hurriedly shouted: "Huang Sanli! Take people to the side!"

Although Huang Sanli was an old policeman, he was covered in hairs and stood on his head when he saw this scene, and hurriedly retreated far away with a few yamen servants.

With the few of them, it is absolutely impossible to fight against the [-] or [-] people who have lost their minds.

Bang bang bang!
The villagers smashed the door desperately with wooden sticks, and some even tried to climb over the wall.

The servant of the Li family, Ding, also looked fierce, standing on top of the wall with a weapon in his hand, shooting every one that came up.

However, rich man Li was still standing on the wall and yelling: "Master Zhixian, you have to save me! I can't stop it, you are about to catch these gangsters, they are all crazy!"

When Qingluo heard it, her eyes went dark.

This idiot!
Didn't he bring the disaster to his side?
This makes her go back and move people!
Sure enough, those villagers who couldn't get in, or were knocked off the wall, immediately turned their eyes to Qingluo and the others when they heard rich man Li's words.

"Did you hear, that girl is an official, and she is in the same gang as this rich man!"

"Yes! We arrested her, and we can't believe that the imperial court still doesn't give us food!"

They immediately turned around and rushed towards Qingluo.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Qingluo and several government servants were surrounded.
