Chapter one hundred and eighty third
The scene froze for a moment.
The arrival of He Captou was unexpected, and so was his behavior. Now if he went to the prison with them, there was still a glimmer of hope for these refugees. There were no government servants to fear, but he would not have the slightest concern for them.
mercy.
Liu He, who was next to him, was still covered with wounds, and shouted: "Go, go, I, Liu He, am not a coward. Don't be afraid of these guys, the worst we can do is die in prison, but if our little benefactor is framed, we will
Can I feel at ease?"
The old man also advised: "Old man, I can see clearly that there are traitors who are framing our little benefactor. We must not let them catch our little benefactor as they wish. Who would do such a heartless thing for themselves?
, the old man was the first to refuse."
The words of the father and son let the refugees know that someone wanted to harm their little benefactor, so they asked the arrester to arrest them. Since it was for the sake of the little benefactor, it was worth it. Go ahead. Anyway, this fate is also a small benefactor.
Given.
For a moment, the refugees were no longer afraid, and they gathered around Xiao Xiao, talking loudly, and surrounded all the government officials. The somewhat excited refugees also wanted evidence of Li Yi's crime, and insisted on being arrested by the government officials.
Seeing the huge crowds of people surrounding them, the faces of the government officials turned blue. They no longer had the arrogance they had just before. For fear of being beaten to death by the refugees, they huddled together and looked at He Captor.
He Captou's eyes flickered, and his heart tightened. What kind of drug did Li Yi give to the refugees? In the past, they were as obedient as dogs. How come today, with people like Li Yi here, they all turned into
A bad wolf that wants to eat people.
The most important thing in dealing with this kind of thing is momentum. As long as these refugees dare not rebel, you don't need to treat them as human beings.
Capt. He raised his voice, suppressed the panic in his heart, and shouted: "The government is doing something, are you going to resist the law? Be careful, I will report to the county magistrate, and I will put you all in jail and escort you out of Gaoyang County."
There is still Li Yi in Gaoyang County, which means there is still a way to survive. If he is driven out, he is not far away from death. The refugees are a little less vocal, but they are still surrounding them stubbornly and will not disperse.
For this group of refugees who want to repay their kindness and are not afraid of death, He arrests the head and has no choice. He despises these refugees the most, but he is also the most afraid of them. As long as the refugees stick together and share the same hatred, even the emperor will not dare to offend the public.
.
"Li Yi, are you going back with us or not? Otherwise, we will take these refugees back for business." Captain He shouted in a deep voice, put an iron chain around Liu He's neck, and demanded arrogantly.
Drag him away.
Among these people, Liu He was seriously injured, and the old man was also older. If he was really imprisoned in a dark cell, it would be a life-and-death situation, and Li Yi couldn't take this risk.
At that moment, he no longer hesitated and said: "Let them go, I will go back with you."
Hearing these words, He Captou's face showed a hint of joy. It seemed that he was on the right path, and Li Yi still compromised.
The refugees grabbed Li Yi and tried to take the blame for him one by one, but they were all persuaded by Li Yi to back down. The other party was obviously targeting him, and no one could take the blame for him.
Looking at the red-eyed refugees around him, He Captou did not dare to put a chain on Li Yi. He just whispered "offense" and asked the government officials to guard him.
Sun Zhen and Zheng Shan came over. They knew that if it weren't for the refugees, Li Yi would not be captured at all. Once a strong person has a weakness, he is no longer strong. The more things Li Yi worries about, the more he becomes
Easily exploited and framed.
"I will go home and ask my father to come forward. You must take care of yourself." Sun Ce said with concern.
Li Yi nodded. He was not worried about his own safety. It was just that he had many things to do. Staying in jail for a few days would waste a lot of time.
He looked at Sun Cer and said, "You and Zheng Shan will take care of the dental business we just talked about first, and I will ask Hongyan to send some people to help you."
Sun Ce nodded. He also knew that it would be difficult to rescue Li Yi in a short time. In this case, some things still had to be done.
The surrounding refugees were getting more and more excited, and some people began to pull on the government officials. They were so scared that they gathered together tightly. He Captou was already a little anxious, and ignored Sun Cerium's anger, so he pulled Li Yi and was about to leave.
It would be bad if the situation gets out of control later.
But obviously, his perception was not wrong, but it was not timely.
The refugees are not blind, and they can clearly see that the government officials in front of them are using themselves and other refugees to intimidate their little benefactor. What action are they going to take at this time? Are they still human beings?
The refugees' inner fear of the government gradually weakened, and they surrounded them in groups. A few old men still clung to the government officials and refused to let go. Normally, the government officials would have beaten them with a stick, but
Now, he was shrinking back desperately.
He Captou was also being dragged tightly by two old refugee men. He did not expect that Li Yi's reputation among the refugees was so high. These refugees seemed to have changed their appearance. None of them were as weak as before.
Everyone wants to lie on their bodies, eat their own flesh and drink their own blood.
In the past, it took just a few breaths to get out of the refugee camp, but this time the government officials had to walk for a quarter of an hour, and each one was dragged by force, making it increasingly difficult to get out.
He Captou was always a reckless man. He couldn't stand this kind of anger. With a shake of his arm, he shook away the old refugee man who was grabbing him. Moreover, judging from his posture, he didn't hold back at all, causing the old man to fall if he lost his balance.
Fall to the ground.
Seeing that the old man was about to fall, Li Yi broke free from the shackles of the yamen servant without thinking, supported the old man with one hand, and pressed He Baotou's arm with the other.
Seeing Li Yi take action, He Captou was furious. It's all your fault, and now you dare to touch me.
He waved his arm directly, shook off Li Yi's hand, and grabbed Li Yi's wrist.
But in the flash of lightning, He Captou felt his arm go numb, and then a tingling sensation came down his wrist, and he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
He didn't expect Li Yi to have such great strength and hit his arm, which instantly made him feel a little numb.
The refugees were already emotionally agitated, and Capt. He did not dare to trouble Li Yi anymore, so he had to grit his teeth and endure the pain, and left with Li Yi.
The refugees still wanted to follow, but how could the government officials be willing? They saw another conflict between the two parties.
Today's refugees seem to have taken the wrong medicine. In the past, meeting official officials was like a mouse meeting a cat, but today they are constantly looking for trouble.
In the end, it was Li Yi who came forward to reassure everyone that he would come back soon, and then persuaded the refugees to go back.
The government officials didn't speak a word along the way and returned to the squad room lifelessly. It could be seen that today's situation had a great impact on them.
Captain He led several government officials and took Li Yi into the county government office. It was deserted and no one was seen here. Only a few clerks were drinking tea and chatting. It looked very comfortable.
"He Captou, where have you been? Why do you look so ugly?" A clerk looked over.
The person who spoke to him was an official, so Capt. He had no choice but to reply: "I just went to arrest a prisoner, and something went wrong along the way."
With that said, he pushed Li Yi and told him to leave quickly.
But the official came over and saw Li Yi surrounded by him. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "What's going on? Why did you arrest a scholar?"
There are some scholars who commit crimes these days, but it is rare to get caught. Most of their families have some money, and as long as they are willing to bleed, they usually bribe the officials and then change their lives and continue their lives. It is rare that they are directly arrested.
Prison.
"The county magistrate asked him to arrest him, and he said he would be locked up in a cell for a few days." Chief He didn't want to say more, and pushed Li Yi to take him to the cell.
But the official refused to let him go and nodded, "No wonder you arrested him yourself. This scholar looks young. Who is he?"
He Captou looked at Li Yi beside him and said, "This person is quite special. He is a student of Sun Cerium Clan School. His name is Li Yi."
"Okay, then leave it to me. I'll just take the person over." The official said to Mr. He with a smile on his face.
He Captou was slightly startled. You must know that everyone has their own duties. If you don't do your own thing well, but come to interfere in the prison, this is breaking the rules.
He thought for a moment, took the official a few steps out, and asked, "Old Zhao, what's going on?"
The official chuckled and said, "Don't ask any more questions about this matter. It's Master Du's order. This Li Yi may have offended him, so he asked me to take care of this Li Yi."
He Captou rolled his eyes. In fact, Du Changfeng told him that this kind of thing was the same, but he got rid of Lao Zhao to handle it. Obviously he didn't want himself to be involved in this matter. That is, no matter what happens in the future, don't worry about it yourself.
It means something else, but it’s worth pondering.
It seems that Li Yi has really offended Du Changfeng, otherwise he would not have used this trick. I'd better protect myself and not go into this muddy water.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Well, I'll just trouble you, brother."
Old Zhao smiled when he heard this, reached out to touch three taels of silver in his arms, took out two taels of them, handed them to He Baotou, and said: "This is a reward from Master Du. You have worked hard today, take it to a bar."
He Captou weighed it up, secretly saying that Du Changfeng was really stingy, but with a smile on his face, he said: "That's easy to say, brother, please help me to thank Master Du for the reward."
Li Yi waited for a while and saw Captain He leaving, and the skinny official named Zhao took him into the cell.
As soon as he stepped in, Li Yi felt that his eyes were dark. There was only one window in the cell with sunlight shining in. There were only a few torches that could illuminate it. The air was filled with a disgusting stench and a faint smell of blood.
.
Before he could see clearly, a man with sparse hair and an ugly face came over. When he saw Official Zhao, he nodded and walked over quickly and said, "It's such a rare visitor. Why did Mr. Zhao come to a place like this?"
Official Zhao covered his nose with his sleeves, looked at the ugly prison head in front of him with disgust, and said: "Xiao Liu, I have brought someone here. You can find a separate cell to lock this person up. Remember,
Greeted him nicely."
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Yi beside him, but there was a naked coldness in his eyes, which made the cell leader Xiao Liu understand immediately.
He quickly called two jailers and took out two pairs of huge chains, one was a bracelet and the other was an anklet.
