poor family prodigal

"Shut up, everyone. Anyone who dares to yell again will be arrested together in the county jail!"

Zhao Wu shouted coldly with a straight face.

He has seen this kind of thing too many times, and some thieves are born bad people.

In this turbid world, if you want to live a good life, you must have a hard heart.

The villagers did not dare to say anything anymore. Guo's mother and three daughters-in-law whispered and wiped their tears.

"Guo Cang, Guo Liang, Guo Qiang, you went to Wang Yuan's house last night to break open the door and steal something. Guo Qiang was punched in the back by two tigers, and Guo Qiang's clothes were scratched on his shoulder by two tigers. Now there is irrefutable evidence. Do you admit it? !”

Zhao Wu opened the clothes of the two of them, revealing fist marks on Guo Qiang's back and bloody scratches on Guo Liang's shoulders. He then took out the bloody steps given by Wang Yuan.

"Confession!"

The three brothers looked at each other and nodded.

The evidence is irrefutable, and it is not something that the three brothers can deny if they want to.

Zhao Wu nodded with satisfaction: "Just plead guilty. Where did you steal Wang Sihai's money?"

"silver?"

The three brothers looked confused.

They only went to steal Wang Yuan's house, but were beaten away by the two tigers before they could succeed.

Guo's mother and three daughters-in-law wiped away tears: "I really didn't steal it. The third child came back and was injured!"

"It seems it's not them, it's other thieves who stole Sihai's money!"

Zhao Wu looked at Wang Yuan: "Young Master Yuan, do you have anything to ask?"

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "Guo Cang, who told you that my family has money!"

All thieves have eyes. If you step on the eyes before stealing, you will fail if you steal randomly.

"Every industry has its own rules. We can't betray our informants!"

The three brothers glanced at the old mother, wife and children, then closed their eyes and bowed their heads in silence.

Zhao Wu winked.

Bang bang bang!

Not caring about the presence of the villagers, the archers and strong men gathered around and started to fight: "Say it or not!"

Within a moment, the three brothers' faces were covered in blood, but no one let go!

Many villagers stared angrily, but no one dared to stop him.

Wang Yuan frowned: "That's enough!"

Only then did the archers and strong men stop.

Zhao Wu frowned: "Young Master Wang, this is a hard nut to crack. We can't find out. We have to go to the county government to give him a severe punishment, otherwise he won't answer."

"Need not!"

Wang Yuan shook his head: "I'll ask!"

"You ask?"

Zhao Wu was disdainful.

I didn't ask for punches or kicks. What can you, a prodigal son, do?

Guo Cang gritted his teeth: "We will not betray our informants, don't waste your efforts!"

Wang Yuan looked around: "Chief Zhao, ask the villagers to leave and don't watch here."

"Get the hell out of here, the house is full of food, there's no need for you to dig in the fields!"

Zhao Wu looked around fiercely. The four archers and eight strong men also had fierce looks on their faces.

The villagers were unwilling to disperse.

Wang Yuan looked at the three brothers: "You don't dare to reveal the spy because you are afraid that the three of you will be imprisoned and the person behind the spy will cause trouble for your mother, wife and children."

Guo Cang, Guo Liang and Guo Qiang were silent: this is what they are most worried about.

Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Then have you ever thought about how your mother, wife and children will live if all three of you brothers go in? If you are so principled in protecting them, will they give you housing allowance?"

The three brothers were startled, and tears flowed out unconsciously, with a look of despair on their faces.

The land at home is gone, and my mother has been sick all year round. It is not enough for my daughter-in-law to make ends meet just by digging wild vegetables and spinning yarn, let alone seeing a doctor for her.

I'm afraid that in less than a month, the three families will be unable to survive and their children will be sold.

As for the eyeliners, they are also poor, haha; even if they are rich, how can they give them housing expenses?

The person behind the eyeliner will be very grateful if he doesn't get into trouble in the coming year.

The three brothers kowtowed again and again: "Master Wang, please, please, we didn't steal anything. Please spare us. We kowtow to you. Please be merciful and spare us. Otherwise, these three families will be separated." Got it!"

Zhao Wu looked at Wang Yuan: This prodigal son really has a lot of trouble. He is a tough guy who refuses to bow his head even after three beatings. He said this in just a few words.

Wang Yuan's eyes narrowed and he raised his head: "Mr. Zhao, I seem to have remembered wrongly. There were not three thieves who came to my house last night, but one!"

Zhao Wu couldn't help but keep a straight face: "Young Master Yuan, it's obviously the three of them, but now you say one more thing, handling cases is not a child's play, I, the elder, must be impartial...ah!"

Handing over an ingot of ten taels of silver, Wang Yuan said righteously: "He is really a person. If you don't believe me, ask the two tigers who ran away the thief!"

"Obviously...ah!"

Before Erhu could react, he was pushed on the waist by the big tiger. Looking at Wang Yuan's serious eyes, he couldn't help but said: "Yeah, he's just a thief."

"Well, everyone has bad memory sometimes. It'll be better if you think about it!"

Zhao Wu calmly took the money: "Since it's a thief, we caught two more. Mr. Wang, do you want to let them go?"

Wang Yuan looked at the three brothers: "Which of you will go to jail and who will stay to support the family? It's your choice!"

"I'm your boss, I'll go to jail, you two can take care of the house!"

"Eldest brother, second brother, I'll go. I'm injured and I won't live long. Let me go!"

"Brother, third brother, it's better for me to go. The clothes on my shoulders were scratched, and the evidence is conclusive."

The three brothers were full of surprises and fought over each other!

"All right!"

Wang Yuan waved his hand: "Go to Guo Liang. His clothes are torn and his shoulder is injured. The evidence is complete. It's easy to go to the county government."

Zhao Wu glanced at him.

Two strong men stepped forward to help the eldest brother Guo Cang and the third child Guo Qiang to open the shackles.

The three brothers looked at Wang Yuan complicatedly.

Wang Yuan's face was expressionless: "Now it's time to tell me who the spy is!"

The three brothers looked hesitant and still had some concerns.

"You three, tell me quickly. Are you waiting for Master Wang to arrest you all?"

Guo's mother and three daughters-in-law were anxious: they had already spent ten taels of silver, and if their son did not explain, he would be taken away in chains again.

The boss Guo Cang lowered his head and said: "Liu Liu and Liu Qi from Liu Ji!"

Wang Yuan's eyes darkened: "Did they tell them to come?"

Liu Liu and Liu Qi were two of Liu Youcai's four helpers yesterday.

"That's not true. I just say that you have made a fortune and have a hundred or two hundred dollars with you. If we benefit from it, we can share some of it with them!"

The boss Guo Cang lowered his head and felt something in Wang Yuan's eyes that made him fearful.

"Take your third brother to find a doctor. If you can't survive, go to Dawangzhuang to find me. Today's matter is over. I will spend money from the county government to help your second brother suffer less!"

Wang Yuan took out an ingot of ten taels of silver, put it in Guo Cang's hand and turned around to leave.

The three Guo brothers were stunned.

I have already asked about the informant and gave them ten taels of silver.

Counting Zhao Wu's twelve taels just now, I have already spent twenty taels for them.

I have never heard of such a thing. The owner of the suffering takes care of the thief and gives the thief money to heal his injuries.

The three brothers were really confused.

"You three bastards, why did you steal from such a good person? This is a good person like the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva!"

Guo's mother and three daughters-in-law were startled and kowtowed to Wang Yuan's back.

Guo Cang, Guo Liang, and Guo Qiang also burst into tears and knocked their heads on the ground.

Zhao Wu and a group of helpers looked at Wang Yuan's back like a fool.

Is there something wrong with this prodigal son's head?

If a thief is caught, not only will he be released with money, but he will also be given money to treat his injuries.

Doesn't this encourage thieves to steal from his house in the future?

No, there is one left.

Dahu, Erhu, and Sihai sighed: Brother Yuan is so kind-hearted.

The group pressed their second brother Guo Liang and went straight to Liu Ji to get Liu Liu and Liu Qi.

Zhao Wu narrowed his eyes and said: "Wang Yuan, your goal is not to take Liu Liu and Liu Qi, your real goal is Liu Youcai!"

Wang Yuan smiled: "How could it be?"

"Why not!"

Zhao Wu raised his voice and said: "Liu Liu and Liu Qi are Liu Youcai's dogs. You beat Liu Youcai into that bear shape yesterday. At night, Liu Liu and Liu Qi notified the Guo Cang brothers. You can tell with your toes that it was Liu Youcai who ordered you."

"The elder can solve cases like a god!"

Wang Yuan clasped his fists with admiration on his face: "Since you have discovered the mastermind behind the scenes, let's go get him!"

Dahu, Erhu, and Sihai trembled in their hearts: None of them expected that Wang Yuan's purpose for finding Zhao Wu today was actually to bring down Liu Youcai.

"...Don't talk nonsense. Bringing down Liu Youcai is no small matter."

Zhao Wu looked confused: "We both belong to the yamen. Today I am going to capture him. What will my colleagues in the yamen think of me? What will my superiors think of me? Do I, Zhao Wu, want to hang out in the yamen anymore?"

"I'm just giving you ten taels of silver to help you catch the little thief, not to help you bring down a liar. This can't be done!"

"Is it really impossible?"

"Definitely!"

"I'll add money!"

"Ahem, this is not about money. I, Zhao Wu, am selfless and enforce the law impartially. I will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor let a bad person go... How much more do you want?"
