The Government Assigns A Daughter-In-Law, Which Needs To Be Chosen?

Chapter 15: Confused Villagers

The person lying on the ground should be standing, and the person standing should be lying on the ground.

Moreover, judging from the blood on his face, the person lying on the ground is seriously injured.

Apart from this.

Wang Fa, who is known as a bully, showed a look of relief when he saw the villagers coming.

The feeling it gives.

Fortunately, you came in time, otherwise I would have been in big trouble.

How can the villagers not be confused by this?

"Hmm? Wang Laocai's eldest son!"

Suddenly, a villager saw something and his eyes widened.

Wang Wei!

He is definitely a famous person in the village.

Just now on the road, everyone was wary of each other and didn't dare to have any radical ideas.

But now,

This fierce person who the villagers are afraid of is actually here, and his own younger brother, covered in blood, is lying on the ground but still standing motionless.

Some sharp-eyed people even noticed that when everyone arrived, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

From that subtle action,

The other party is similar to his younger brother.

Who is it,

That can put such pressure on the village's fierce person?

The more the villagers saw the scene on the field, the more confused they became, and in the end, they could only focus their gaze on the figure in the center of the field, who seemed to be suppressing the entire crowd.

"Could it be Lin Fan?"

Everyone was shocked.

The figure that seemed to be suppressing the entire crowd was the owner of this house, Lin Fan.

As for Lin Fan,

Almost all the villagers know him, and many are very familiar with him.

Even Wang, the village head, is familiar with him. After all, he arranged for Lin Fan's father to settle in the village when he fled here during the famine.

When Lin Fan was young, he used to carry him and even had his urine sprinkled on his head.

But the more familiar they were,

The more shocked they were at this moment.

What kind of person is Lin Fan? Others may only have a vague understanding, but he knows him best.

He has a good heart.

But because his mother had a difficult childbirth, he was born with an injury to his innate talent and was often sickly since childhood.

If it weren't for his father's extreme care, he would have gone to the Western Paradise long ago.

Even when he grew up,

He still couldn't do any heavy lifting or even farm work. The only advantage he had was that he had read a few years of books and knew quite a few characters compared to ordinary villagers.

But that's about it.

Apart from that, he couldn't think of any other strengths of Lin Fan.

But now?

Wang Fa, the bully, came to cause trouble, and it seems like he was beaten down by him.

Even the fierce person in the village who no one dares to provoke is now hesitant to act, seemingly very afraid. The villagers who are usually looked down upon by him have now become their saviors.

As the village head,

His vision naturally surpasses that of ordinary villagers.

He could see who was the main figure in the courtyard at a glance.

The person Wang Wei is afraid of.

Is Lin Fan, who occupies the central position!

But the more certain he became,

The more he couldn't believe it.

How is this possible!

Is this still the sickly child who could barely walk before?

"Could it be that he has changed completely after marrying his wives? This is too unbelievable!"

In the end, Wang, the village head, focused his gaze on the several protected wives of Lin Fan. The biggest change in Lin Fan recently is that he married three wives and brought them home.

At that time, he was angry about it.

But now, looking at the situation, it seems that Lin Fan has indeed changed after marrying three wives.

This seems to be the case.

But in his opinion, it is too unbelievable.

There are people who marry three wives.

The Great Long Dynasty has such people too. Some prominent families have several legitimate heirs.

Although the head tax is a burden.

But the prominent families can handle it, as long as it's not too many.

But even the richest man in the county, who has ten or eight wives, has not undergone such a drastic change!

On the contrary, his health has deteriorated.

But Lin Fan in front of him...

How can he explain this?

"Village head Wang, you came at the right time. This Lin Fan not only stole my chicken, but also maliciously injured me when I came to reason with him. You must arrest this villain and take him to the authorities!"

Wang Fa saw so many villagers coming and his eyes lit up with an idea. He opened his mouth and started shouting, pulling Village Chief Wang out of his contemplation.

Through the other party's words.

The arriving villagers were all certain that the bewildering situation in front of them was indeed caused by Lin Fan.

However, Wang Fa's words conveyed more information.

"Lin Fan stole your chicken?"

Village Chief Wang looked towards Wang Fa.

Wang Fa nodded repeatedly, pointing to the wingless rooster still by the wall and said, "Look, that's the stolen goods. It's because he stole my family's chicken that I came to confront him!"

Wang Wei, who was standing nearby, didn't care about these matters, but Lin Fan's punch just now had scared him. At this moment, he remained silent, standing there silently and letting his younger brother speak.

Accusing Lin Fan of stealing chickens.

Previously, he deliberately sought amusement, just to make the targeted clown more entertaining.

With his means and influence, if he really wanted to stand up for his younger brother, there was no need to play such tricks.

But now,

This had become the main point of attack.

"Lin Fan, did you really steal his chicken?"

Village Chief Wang frowned. If this was true, then the situation would be troublesome.

Theft.

In Great Long, it was not a small crime.

If it didn't escalate, it would be fine, but once it reached the government, it would inevitably result in some time behind bars.

And the most important point.

If this situation was true, Wang Fa and the others would be infamous.

Now that they had come to confront the thief and were beaten instead, if Lin Fan's guilt was proven, it would definitely be even more troublesome.

Theft.

Maliciously injuring others.

This could lead to being conscripted!

Great Long Martial Emperor was warlike, and the border troops were constantly in conflict with neighboring countries, with major battles occurring from time to time. There was a significant shortage of personnel.

That was why the Great Long Dynasty often conscripted men and forced women into prostitution.

The former served as combatants.

The latter provided logistical and financial support.

In the Great Long Dynasty, there was almost no death penalty.

For committing major crimes,

They would be directly conscripted into slavery and sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder, depleting the enemy's war resources.

For example, during a siege,

They would let these soldiers go forward to attract a wave of enemy arrows and such.

So being conscripted for a crime

Was the most feared punishment for a Great Long man!

Lin Fan also noticed the other party's little trick and laughed, saying, "Uncle Wang, this guy is talking nonsense. I just came back from the county town. Several aunties who were resting at the village entrance can testify for me."

"Yes, I can testify for Lin Fan, and so can the Er Niu family and the Shan Wa family."

One of the women in the village, who happened to be one of those aunties, stepped forward and said.

"Wang Fa, do you have anything else to say?"

Village Chief Wang looked at Wang Fa with indifference. At this point, he naturally understood that the so-called chicken theft was just a trick played by the other party.

"She said she can testify, so she can. I also have witnesses!"

Wang Fa used his ability to be mischievous and pointed to several tenant farmers' children he had brought along, saying, "You guys tell me, was Lin Fan already at home when we arrived, and did he injure us as soon as we entered?"

"Ah? Yes... yes."

The several tenant farmers' children who were pointed at were momentarily stunned, but quickly lowered their heads and agreed. For the sake of survival, they could only go along with it.

Although this was just going along with it,

Anyone with discerning eyes could see that this was the other party stirring up trouble.

"That's enough! You damn thing, tell me, was Lin Fan already at home from the beginning, or did he come back from outside later? If you dare to lie, I'll go back and break your father's legs!"

Village Chief Wang interrupted Wang Fa's tantrum and scolded Wang Er Gou, who was trying to act invisible.

As his second brother's son, he could easily control him as the eldest uncle.

If the other party dared to come out and mess around,

Many times, it was because they had his backing.

Now that he scolded him like this and even threatened to break his legs, he immediately trembled.

"Speak up! Don't force me to take action right now!"

Village Chief Wang shouted loudly again.

"I... I didn't..."

Under the pressure of his own eldest uncle, Wang Er Gou finally couldn't hold on and shook his head fearfully.

One of the parties involved had testified.

Wang Fa's attempt to turn the tables naturally couldn't stand.

Wang Wei had originally wanted to come out and interrupt, but he didn't expect Wang Er Gou to give in so quickly. He could only remain silent again, knowing that this matter could only be dropped.

But this time, he had suffered a big loss, and the matter naturally couldn't end like this.

Looking at Lin Fan with a fierce gaze and then at Village Chief Wang, who obviously favored him, he pressed his injured left shoulder and walked out of Lin Fan's yard.

Lin Fan didn't stop him. With so many people present now, he couldn't kill the other party.

But this matter.

Couldn't just end like this.
