Shoufu's favored wife is sweet and sassy

Chapter 278 Chapter 278, Murder
Seeing the elder brother kneeling down, Er Gou stopped shaking and limp, plopped and knelt down.

Afterwards, several other men knelt on the ground in unison.

"You... this is..."

Except for Lao Li who was squinting leisurely, everyone else looked surprised.

Before everyone asked questions, Gu Shan took the initiative to confess:
"Ma'am, we in Shantie Village are engaged in mining, and we are all...miners, because we committed a crime...killed an officer and escaped."

Xiaoqing: "..."

"Helping the old and the young, you can still escape so far, and you haven't been caught yet... So how many people have you killed?"

If he killed an officer... he would have been caught soon... unless...

"We killed 26 officers in the mine, buried them on the spot, and ran from the mountain overnight. On weekdays, someone came to collect the mine every seven days, so seven days is enough time for us to run far."

The room was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard, Tian Muquan stopped babbling, opened his mouth wide and forgot to continue eating.

"We guessed that they would send people to chase them. In seven days, those of us could run more than 200 miles in the mountains, so we didn't go far. We found a nearby cave and hid for a month. After the wind passed, we went After escaping, I met my third brother."

There was a continuous silence, and everyone stopped talking.

This... They took in a group of fugitives, and they were still murderers!

Dozens of officers were killed!

"We didn't dare to take the official road. We picked up deserted land and passed through it all the way. Many people died... Originally, more than 400 people met wolves and poisonous snakes. They got rained on the road and fell ill. Yes... Lao Qi and Lao Shiliu did not step firmly into the ditch, and now, we are the only ones left.

Ma'am, please take me in, we really have no way out if we go any further, we'll be fine if we die, but there are still these children, the old man.

They were killed by a few of us, and we surrendered ourselves, only begging my wife to keep them and give them a way out. "

"No, brother, if you go to the government, you will have no way to survive. They will protect each other, so they don't care why we kill people!"

"That's right, at worst, let's run away and wander around the world. If it doesn't work, we can go up the mountain and become a bandit!"

"Don't talk nonsense! You became a bandit and implicated the nine clans! You still think life is not difficult enough, do you? Do you think the descendants of Shantie Village will bear their names?!"

"Sister-in-law, what can I do?"

Liu Yingfeng was so frightened that she ran back and pulled Xiaoqing hard, for fear that those people would suddenly rise up and kidnap her sister-in-law.

"Third Aunt, go to the backyard and bring those children over."

Xiaoqing was neither happy nor angry, her face was as sinking as water, making Gu Shan unable to see the depth. For the first time, she actually felt guilty facing a little girl.

"Uncle Li Zheng, what do you think of this?"

"Hehe, people are here to defect to you, you have the final say, no matter what you say, uncle will support you."

"Well, in front of everyone, I'll just say a few words."

Xiaoqing stood up, with a serious face, and her words were correct:

"Since ancient times, the state has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. It has been a matter of course for people to pay their lives for murder and pay their debts.

Now the world is in chaos, but justice cannot be chaotic, it is in people's hearts, so there is still a right and wrong in everything, and there is a judgment.

It doesn't make sense for a good person to live their whole life with infamy, and it doesn't make sense for them to get away with murder and arson.

So, since you have told the story today, Gu Shan, I thank you for not hiding it from me all the time, making everyone in our village be charged with harboring fugitives. "

As soon as Xiaoqing saluted Gu Shan, Gu Shan hurriedly avoided,

"Don't dare, I am ashamed of your trust, we are wrong."

"If you tell the truth, this is a small courtesy, and you killing people is a violation of the righteousness. If you know the small courtesy but have no great righteousness, it is rotten at the root. So, in front of these people, in front of your children in Shantie Village, I will give you a chance to defend yourself and tell us the whole story. If you have been wronged, then record this account for now. One day in the future, this matter will be clearly stated in court. If you If you killed innocent people in vain, then I'm sorry, you can't get out of this village, and if I risk my life, I will hand over you murderers to the court."
