The old village chief was one step older than Village Li and was an elder. He snorted disdainfully:

"Of course I know what you are here for. Li Changgui, don't you just want to take this opportunity to blackmail us Qingshui Village people so that you can get some money back?"

Village Chief Li's face was a little stiff, and he said with a smile:

"Brother Zhao, don't say that. I'm here to support Li Dagou in our village. He said that Qiao Erhe in your village sold his sister Li Cuihua and used the money from selling Li Cuihua to buy a lot of grain and cloth and even returned There was a carriage. But the Qiao family only gave him a small bag of grain, which is too much!"

"Yesterday he, his wife and Li Ergou came to beg for food. The Qiao family not only refused to give it to them, but also beat the three of them severely. You see, Li Dagou's leg is still lame, and Li Ergou is also injured. Waist, Li Dagou and his wife can’t even get out of bed. You people from Qingshui Village do things so excessively, you’re so bullying!"

"We in Lijia Village all have the same surname. How can we let you people in Qingshui Village bully the people in our village like this? Brother, just tell me, how should we solve this matter? Anyway, if you don't give us a satisfactory answer today, If you don’t get the answer, we won’t leave!”

After Village Chief Li finished speaking, the other people in Lijia Village who were a little timid at first straightened up their chests, as if I was reasonable and not afraid of anyone.

Hearing this, Qiao Erhe sneered: "What do you believe in what Li Dagou says? I even said that they sold my wife for food! How can I get so many things in my house just by selling one Li Cuihua? Do you believe me?" Li Dagou is making nonsense, why don't you ask them how they can snatch things and run away like bandits as soon as they enter my tent? If they dare to snatch things from my house, even if their legs are broken, it's our fault!"

Li Dagou scolded angrily: "Qiao Erhe! You are so cruel! My sister has been married to you for so many years and has given you two sons. There is no credit but hard work. You actually sold my sister! We are just asking you to ask As soon as you found out about my sister's whereabouts, you became so angry that you beat us up and drove us out. Humph! Even if you tell the truth today, you have to hand over my sister Cuihua! Otherwise, you will give us the things in your house Hand it over!"

After Li Dagou finished speaking, Li Ergou also joined in: "That's right! Don't think that I don't know your family's background. They are just poor people who are not much better than us. If I hadn't sold my sister, your family would have gotten these things. If you didn't sell my sister, where is she now? If you hand her over now, it means you didn't sell my sister, otherwise, you're the one calling to catch the thief!"

When it came to the whereabouts of Li Cuihua, Qiao Erhe became furious:

"I want you to hand over Li Cuihua! She said she would go back to find you and left early in the morning. Unexpectedly, she turned out to have deceived my eldest niece who was still stupid at the time and wanted to take her out. Sold to the king of the county. Fortunately, my sister-in-law found out in time and chased her, but during the scuffle, my eldest niece was knocked off the cliff, and my sister-in-law was knocked unconscious by Li Cuihua. If it hadn't been for my family's fate, Ran Ranfu would not have fallen to the bottom of the cliff. , climbed up in time and caught up with Li Cuihua and Wang Yuanwai, and rescued my sister-in-law. Neither my sister-in-law nor my eldest niece can come back! That evil bitch Li Cuihua took the five taels of silver given by Wang Yuanwai. Didn't she go to find you? Where else can she go? You must have squandered those few taels of silver and sold her, but now you want to beat her up, and the evildoer filed a complaint first!"

Qiao Erhe's words made the people in Lijia Village look at each other, wondering whether they should believe it or not.

The people of Qingshui Village and the guards of the two mansions also looked ugly. They did not expect that Zheng Huiniang and Qiao Ran actually escaped death.

That woman Li Cuihua is so vicious!

Li Dagou didn't expect that such a thing would happen, but he was not here to reason now. His purpose was to ask the Qiao family to come up with something.

He strangled his neck and said forcefully:

"Those are all your one-sided words. Who knows if you are just making up nonsense to bluff people? Now your sister-in-law and niece are still standing here, but my sister is missing. Of course you want to You can say whatever you want. I don’t care. If you can’t hand over my sister anyway, you have to hand over all the things you got from selling her back to our Li family! That is the daughter of my Li family. Her parents and brothers are still there. , how can we allow you to sell them just as you say! If you don’t hand them over, I will go to the government to sue you for human trafficking, and have you put in jail, exiled, and beheaded!"

Qiao Erhe was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "What the hell! I, Qiao Erhe, don't have to make up such lies to deceive you. When that bitch Li Cuihua left our team, not only did we in Qingshui Village see it, but also Villagers from several other villages who were fleeing the famine at that time also saw it. If you don’t believe it, I can go to people from other villages to testify. As for the things in my home, how can I afford them for one Li Cuihua? You are in What a mess!"

"Then tell me, how did your family get these things? Could it be that they robbed a wealthy family? Huh, how could your family afford so many things? Anyway, you didn't get them by selling my sister. It's just for robbery. Now that we know it, you will get half of it from us! No, more than half! Otherwise, I will report you to the government!"

Qiao Erhe laughed angrily. He wanted to continue to argue with Li Dagou, but Qiao Ran stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to look back.

Qiao Erhe glanced back. Not only were the villagers in Qingshui Village filled with indignation, but even the guards from the two mansions glared angrily at Li Dagou and his party, most likely to step forward and beat them up immediately.

Only then did Qiao Erhe realize what he was talking about with these people. Isn't there someone else who witnessed this?

He said loudly: "Everyone in the village knows where these things in my house came from. If you want to know, don't be afraid to tell you. My niece Ranran rescued Prince Dingbei on the way to escape, and he gave my niece a large reward. I My sister-in-law is the daughter of General Zheng, the sister of General Zheng! These things in my family were sent by Dingbei Prince’s Mansion and the General’s Mansion. Do you want to take them? You have to ask the guards of Dingbei Prince’s Mansion and the General’s Mansion. No!"

After Qiao Erhe finished speaking, the guards from both houses responded loudly: "No!"

The sound was so loud that all the birds in the forest flew away.

"You... you..."

Everyone in Lijia Village was shocked.

Village Chief Li turned pale with fright.

Dingbei Palace?

General's Mansion?

Oh my god!

He is so old, and the biggest official he has ever dealt with is just the magistrate of the county government!

This...why is this still involving the Prince's Mansion and the General's Mansion?

Looking at the strange faces that were not from Qingshui Village, Village Chief Li finally understood why these people looked so vicious.

It turns out that he is a guard of the royal palace and the general's palace! I am just the head of a small village, how can I dare to deal with people from the royal palace and the general's palace?

He glared at Li Dagou brothers fiercely, and said with an apologetic smile: "Well, Brother Zhao, these... these people are really those... what kind of guards sent by the palace and the general's palace? He... how could they... In your village?”
