Chapter 233 The Whistleblower (1)
"stop!"

As soon as Mu Caixia's voice fell, a man's voice sounded from the courtyard door.

Hearing that it was Bai Qingli's voice, Gu Xiaobei heaved a sigh of relief, and turned his head quickly, and saw Bai Qingli standing under the courtyard door, looking at them with a gloomy expression.

Seeing Bai Qingli's expression, Gu Xiaobei raised his heart that had just let go, and asked anxiously, "Did you catch it?"

"I got it." Bai Qingli nodded.

"That's good, I was scared to death!" Mu Caixia patted her chest and let out a heavy breath.

The tight string in Gu Sanlin's heart also loosened, and he said with a smile: "Then you don't have to call sister-in-law's brother to help?"

"No, not only them, but also the whole village must be called here." Bai Qingli said seriously, "Because the thieves are from the village!"

"Huh?" Several people were taken aback.

Gu Xiaobei frowned. He didn't expect that he was from the village. This must be handled carefully. Almost all the villagers in the village are related, and many of them are very close relatives. If it is not handled properly, the thief's relatives will spread rumors in the village. , causing turmoil and causing dissatisfaction among the villagers is not good.

"Third brother, hurry up and inform the village head, let him ring the big bell in the village, summon the villagers to the ancestral hall, and then bring them here." Gu Xiaobei thought about this, and immediately said to Gu Sanlin, the village The big bell is set in the village chief's house, and it is rarely used on weekdays. It will be used only when there are major events such as floods and bandit raids. At that time, men, women and children in the village will hear the bell. The ancestral halls in the village gather, otherwise they will be punished by the villagers, and those who are serious will be expelled from the village.

"Okay." Gu Sanlin's mind is also quite flexible, and he quickly thought of this level, took the lantern handed over by Gu Xiaobei, turned around and prepared to run towards the village chief's house.

"Slow down!" Bai Qingli yelled again.

Gu Sanlin hurriedly stopped, turned around and looked at Bai Qingli suspiciously, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Qingli raised his eyes to look at the dark village, his eyes turned, and then he shifted his gaze to Gu Sanlin, and said cautiously: "In order to prevent any changes, we can't disclose the news until the villagers are all gathered, so you go to the village For a long time, you can't tell him about it, you have to ask him to call people first."

"That won't work. It's a big deal to ring the big bell in the village. If the third brother doesn't tell the reason, the village chief won't agree to ring the big bell to summon all the villagers." Gu Xiaobei shook his head with a frown.

"Yes, the big bell in the village can't be rang casually. I grew up in the village, and I have lived in the village for more than ten years. I have only seen the big bell ringing once. At that time, there were people fighting in the village and killing people. I just rang the bell to summon everyone. I was still young at that time, but it was also because it was the only time I saw the big bell in the village ringing, so I got it after so long." Mu Caixia said with a worried brow.

"Then I'll go with you personally. The village head will give me some face. Even if I don't tell the story first, I will have a way to make him ring the big bell." Bai Qingli walked towards Gu Sanlin.

"That would be the best." Gu Sanlin nodded happily. Although Bai Qingli was only a first-year scholar, over the past year, Gu Sanlin and the others have learned Bai Qingli's superb wisdom, so Totally believe in his ability.

Bai Qingli looked at Gu Xiaobei and Mu Caixia: "They are still guarding the thief inside, you go in quickly, we will be back soon."

"I see." Gu Xiaobei nodded, and carried Xiaobao and Mu Caixia into the courtyard gate together.

Bai Qingli and Gu Sanlin went to the village chief's house.

Gu Xiaobei and Mu Caixia entered the yard, and they saw Gu Datian and the others tied up the two thieves with some ropes. The yard was in a mess, some gold and silver jewelry and other valuables were scattered all over the place. Gu Xiaobei recognized them. Some of those things belonged to her, some belonged to Mu Caixia, and some belonged to her brothers.

The thief hid just now. In order to find the thief hiding in the dark, Gu Datian and the others not only lit the lanterns in the yard, but also lit the lights in the room, so the room can be seen clearly, and the inside is all upside down. , apparently messed up by thieves.

"Brother." In order to prevent thieves from jumping over the wall and hurting others, Gu Xiaobei stopped at a distance with Xiaobao and Mu Caixia in his arms.

Gu Datian finished tying up the two thieves, then kicked them, then looked up at Gu Xiaobei and Mu Caixia, seeing that they were still wet even though they were holding umbrellas, he hurriedly ordered: "Don't get close, hurry into the house Go hide from the rain."

Gu Xiaobei and Mu Caixia hurried to the main room, when they passed by the two thieves, Mu Caixia suddenly stopped and stared at the people on the ground in surprise, "It's Wang Da and Tan Liu!"

Gu Xiaobei looked at it for a few times, and felt that it looked familiar, but he couldn't name it, he just knew it was a villager in the village.

Mu Caixia immediately pointed at the two people on the ground angrily and cursed: "Uncle Wang, brother Tan Liu, you are usually honest, why did you do such an outrageous thing?"

Gu Xiaobei sneered, those people who seem to be honest on weekdays, some of them are not really honest, they just put on the cloak of honesty, this kind of people are really bad if they do bad things.

"What's so unreasonable? We're just stealing from the rich and giving to the poor as it says in the scriptures. Your family is so rich, you don't know how to give some to the big guys, enjoy yourself, and be so selfish. Why do you have the nerve to scold us? We didn't Wrong, let us go!" Tan Liuda scolded.

"It's the first time I've heard that someone entered someone's house to steal things and was caught on the spot. It's so funny that someone can be so righteous. However, if you say it's right, you're right? Where do you put it?" Gu Xiaobei sneered.

"Can't we return all the things to you? You should let us go quickly, or you will be miserable when my brothers come!" Tan Liu threatened and lured.

"Tan Liu, you still keep your mouth shut? You have done something wrong and you still don't admit it, and you dare to threaten others?" Niu Shi was so angry that he picked up the pole on the ground and slapped Tan Liu.

Tan Liu immediately howled: "Ah! Niu Shi, you dare to hit me, you better prepare the coffin, you only have two brothers, and only two sons, you dare to hit me, don't you know that I Does Tan Liu have five brothers? Are you courting death?"

"Yes, although my Niu family does not have as many brothers as you, my Niu family's status in the village is higher than yours. My father is highly respected, and the village will give him face. Besides, I have many uncles and brothers, and they are more respected than yours. You are still united, who is afraid of whom?" Niu Shi snorted coldly.

"Then let me go, let's do some gesturing, I don't believe that your cow can beat me!" Tan Liu spit out a mouthful of muddy water splashed into his mouth, half propped up, and roared with his neck horizontally.
