After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 757 Compensation for a Piece of Land [2]

"Mom, you are so worried about my dad's illness that you have gone crazy. Our family has not done anything to harm others. We are being wronged!" Kong Rouniang shouted, cursing Kong Hushi in her heart, what an idiot, she didn't even know that she had to refuse to admit it even after being caught doing evil, she was really stupid.

Kong Hu was stunned for a moment, and then his mind became clearer.

The clerk Guan shouted angrily: "Chief Kong, do you not want to be the chief anymore? With all the evidence, and even the woman who was convicted of the crime almost admitting it, you still let the woman's family instigate her to change her confession in public? And why didn't the woman's family keep their mouths shut?!"

According to the rules, in order to prevent collusion or changing of testimony, all persons involved in the case and their family members must be kept silent.

"Come here, hold Kong Rouniang down and beat her!" The chief of the village, Kong, cared most about his position as the chief of the village. He immediately gave the order to express his position, and then knelt down to apologize: "Please calm down, clerk Guan. It was my wife who felt sorry for Kong Rouniang, a junior and a girl, so she didn't use a cloth to block her mouth, which made her talk nonsense."

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I beg the clerk to forgive me and not blame my man. He is truly a good headman who cares about his fellow villagers!"

Puchi, hahaha, it’s not Qin Xiaomi who is laughing, many people around are laughing.

Because of the witchcraft and straw man case, the Lu family, the Miao family, the Pan family, and the nosy villagers who had land here all came.

Fourth Master Qu, Master Jia, the two managers Xue Xing and Xue Yong, the managers of several major merchants including Wen Jie, Kang Weng and Shan Dan, and Meng Zi also came to help the Qin family.

The eldest daughter-in-law of Kongli was ashamed and angry: "What are you laughing at? Although my husband didn't make us rich, at least he didn't bring disaster to the villagers like Wu Laoye did! Wujia Village is still under guard by soldiers, but you can come and go freely!"

"Shut up, why are you saying these things? Just keep an eye on Kong Rouniang!" Kong Lichang scolded, blaming his wife in his heart for being stupid and responding to something she shouldn't have.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Lu Pangsan struck the gong and shouted, "Silence, silence, and listen to what the clerk says!"

After shouting three times, everyone quieted down and looked at Guan Shuli.

The clerk Guan showed the witnesses and evidence to everyone and said, "In the countryside where there are many iron eggs and bolts everywhere, the name Junrong is very special. Therefore, in the whole Taifeng Town, the only person named Junrong is the son of Kong Hu."

"The second young man from the Cao family was an eyewitness. He saw with his own eyes a woman burying a witchcraft straw man and returning to Kongjia Village after the deed was done."

"And the blood on the box is human blood... Kong Junrong's legs and feet suddenly became inconvenient to move, and it was obvious that he was injured. Someone, come and check if there is any cut on Kong Junrong's legs that caused bleeding!"

At the order, Xiao Tao Xiaoqi immediately led his soldiers to pull down Kong Junrong's pants.

Aunt Qin covered Qin Xiaomi's eyes and said, "Don't look at me, or I'll tell your grandma."

Qin Xiaomi: "..."

I didn't watch it either.

Qin Xiaomi turned her back.

Jiang Dalang, Uncle Qin, and Grandpa Qin surrounded her and formed a human wall to block her view to prevent others from spreading rumors that she saw it.

"Mmmm!" Kong Junrong struggled and cried, but unfortunately he was still a teenager and was no match for the soldiers.

"Oh, there is a wound. There is really a cut that is half a finger long. Wow, the blood scab is falling off and bleeding. It seems that the wound is quite fresh and deep!"

The clerk asked a doctor to examine the wound, who confirmed: "Based on the depth of the wound, half a cup of blood can be released, enough to paint a palm-sized box red!"

The clerk of the Guan clan shouted again: "The clerk's office is collecting witnesses. If anyone saw Kong Hu or any of the Kong family members seeking fortune-telling, please come forward and give us clues. The clerk's office will reward you. If you conceal the truth, you will be regarded as an accomplice to the criminal and will be sent to the authorities for severe punishment!"

Dangdang Dangdang!
Fatty Lu banged the gong three times and shouted these words nearly ten times.

At that time, people were most afraid of being sent to the government and loved money the most. When this call came out, many people were moved. Within a quarter of an hour, the Miao family members at the Miao family construction site raised their hands and shouted quickly: "I saw Kong Hu and a lame old man appear at the junction of Pan and Qin's land at dawn one day. The old man is probably the charlatan who helped Kong Hu do evil!"

"Miao Jinke, don't talk nonsense!" Miao Lichang shouted anxiously. When he saw the clerk looking at him, he smiled and explained: "Calm down, clerk, I don't want Miao Jinke to protect the suspect. I just want to remind him that he should say if he has evidence!"

Ha, the clerk Guan sneered: "It's best that Village Chief Miao does this. If he is afraid of offending the Kong family and deliberately shields them, then you old village chiefs should really be replaced!"

These old village heads are still here because they are not clean. They will be afraid and will not dare to do evil again... After all, everyone is greedy, and if you replace them with a new village head, there is a high possibility that he will become greedy too.

It is better to use leverage to check and balance the old village heads and continue to use the old village heads.

But if these old village heads don’t cherish the opportunity, then don’t blame the county government for being ruthless!

"Miao Jinke, just speak boldly. No matter whether your clues are useful or not, Silifang will guarantee that your family will not be deliberately targeted by the head of the village, clan leader or village chief!" Guan Shuli made a promise.

Miao Jingke knelt down and choked up as he thanked the clerk: "I would like to thank the clerk for his support!"

Woo woo woo, he took the risk to tell the truth, and he was really right.

As for whether you are afraid of being targeted by the chiefs in Miaoli and Kongli?

Of course I'm afraid.

But his family has been obedient for so many years and has not gained any benefits from the Miao headman. Even this time when they came to help the Miao family build a house and shop, they worked for free and had to bring their own food. The Miao family didn't even give them a meal!

After the house and shop were built, it was said to belong to the Miao family, and in the future the Miao family members could share the profits just like the Lu family members.

But how much the dividends are is decided by the Miao village head and Miao clerk, and the coolies in the tribe have no idea.

So I'm afraid I can only get ten cents a year at most, don't even think about the big money.

But today the opportunity has come to him. This may be the only chance to become rich in a person's life. For the sake of his family, he must seize it!

Did he keep silent about it in order to prevent Miao Lichang from having a rift with Kong Lichang, and miss the opportunity to turn things around for the family? !

Miao Jinke wiped away his tears and told the whole story: "That day was the second day of the second lunar month, when the dragon raises its head. It was a special day, so I remember it clearly... The old man was hunched over, probably with a hunchback, and walked with one leg raised high and one leg low. He must have been a cripple. He wandered around the land of the Pan and Qin families for less than half a quarter of an hour and then left."

"I didn't care what they did at the time, but when the Qin family's witchcraft straw man incident happened today, and I thought about what happened on February 2, I guessed that they came here that day to look for the location to bury the witchcraft straw man so that they could bring disaster to the Qin family."

"Miao Jinke, thank you for providing the clue." After thanking him, the clerk extracted the key information and said, "Old man, this hunchbacked lame man is good at seeing things. There are not many such people in the whole county, so the government office will be able to find out quickly."

"Now, Si Li Fang is giving everyone a chance to make money. Whoever can provide clues as soon as possible will be rewarded with half a tael of silver!"

Half a tael of silver is equivalent to a farmer's wages for a month's hard labor.

Soon someone provided information: "There is a suitable person in Kong Hu's family!"

“Liuma Village also has it!”

"There's one in Lao Pan's Village, too!"

"Neither." An old voice sounded. It was Mr. Pan, who was supported by his children and grandchildren.
