Chapter 217 Shen Jizu is a thief
Chapter 217 Shen Jizu is a thief
The two men are now unconscious, but who can blame them for the fact that these days, ordinary people hate thieves the most.
"Tian Wang, take a few people with you and take these two people, father and daughter, to the old locust tree at the end of the village and hang them. Let all the people in our village come and interrogate them."
"Yes, village chief!"
Shen Jizu and Shen Rou were hung up by the villagers, and several people went to the river to fetch several buckets of water and poured them on the two.
It took two or three buckets of water to wake the two men up. Just as Shen Jizu and Shen Rou were about to move, they found themselves hanging up.
And isn’t this place the end of Wushan Village, under the old locust tree?
My eyes were burning and tears were streaming.
"Who, who tied me up? Let me go quickly! Do you know who I am? I am a scholar from Wushan Village and the son-in-law of the landlord Lu."
Before Shen Jizu understood his situation, he narrowed his eyes and shouted into the crowd.
After Shen Rou was woken up, her body felt hot, itchy, and painful, and she fainted again.
"Shen Jizu, you're a scholar, yet you've actually resorted to stealing. Is this the sage's book you read?"
The village chief also wanted to give an explanation to the villagers. Which village would be willing to accept such a thief?
"Village chief, I didn't steal anything. I didn't. Please put me down."
Tian Wang approached Shen Jizu holding a torch, gritting his teeth and roaring in anger.
"You still say no, you are so shameless that even ghosts are afraid of you. If you hadn't been caught red-handed this time, the villagers would have really believed your lies."
Shen Dali didn't dare to speak. Fortunately, Lin Ting and the others were fine. If he pleaded for Shen Jizu now, how could he be worthy of Lin Ting.
Brother, just wish you good luck. If you do too much evil, you will eventually perish.
"Nonsense, I didn't steal anything, please stop slandering me. I'm a scholar, a learned man, how could I do such a lowly thing?"
Although his eyes and body hurt, Shen Jizu regained consciousness a little. He and Shen Rou went to the mansion to steal things.
After being beaten by Lin Ting, the whole village came in and beat us father and daughter again without saying a word. It was so unfair.
The village chief was also very angry and stepped forward to take out the things he had searched from Shen Rou.
"Shen Jizu, these are the stolen goods you and Shen Rou stole. These clothes and this jade belt, everyone in the village knows that these are the clothes of Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu.
And now, why do these things appear on you? Also, why did you appear at the Shen residence in the middle of the night? "
The village chief had just gone to Shen Dali and his friends' room and saw that it was indeed in a mess. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that it was a sign of theft.
Shen Jizu's hands were tied with ropes, and his whole body was hanging in the air on the old locust tree, and he was in pain.
"I...I just went to look for Shen Dali. Their house was robbed. What does it have to do with me?"
This explanation is a bit far-fetched, but there are hundreds of people in the village and they won't just follow whatever Shen Jizu says.
"You called Shen Dali and Shen Zhuxiong to Old Shen's house. Did you think that by calling them away, you could come and steal other things?
The stolen goods are all on you, and you still have the nerve to say that you didn't steal them? I think it was you who stole them. If it weren't for the fact that you are also from Wushan Village, would I still be talking to you here? "
Shen Jizu was caught in the act, and now he couldn't explain himself even if he was right. As a grown man, all he could do was cry.
"I...I don't know...wuwu..."
Now the whole village is condemning him: "Shen Jizu, did you steal my hoe? You must compensate me for it."
"That's right, my family's firewood was stolen before, and it was you who did it. If you don't return the stolen items today, the people of Wushan Village will beat you to death with sticks."
Everyone was holding a stick in their hands, and they were getting angrier and angrier as they talked. Shen Jizu felt a chill all over his body.
"I didn't, it wasn't me, I didn't steal..."
He hated Shen Rou to death. It was all Shen Rou's idea. Now, his reputation was completely ruined...
Xu also heard the news. When she rushed over, she saw Shen Jizu and Shen Rou hanging on a tree by the villagers. They were covered in blood and were seriously injured.
"Husband, Rou'er, please release my husband and daughter. Village chief, please release them."
Xu's eyes were red from crying. As a woman, she was no match for the hundreds of people in the village. She could only kneel before the village chief.
"Shen Jizu and Shen Rou are thieves, village chief. Maybe some of the things lost in our village before were also stolen by this Xu family."
"No, no, my husband is not a thief, he is not!"
No matter how Xu explained, the villagers only believed what they saw, seeing is believing.
"Village Chief, we found a ladder outside the high walls of the deep house. This ladder is the one that the old Shen family often puts in the yard. We all recognize it."
Another villager came to report, and the broken bamboos in the yard all indicated that Shen Jizu and Shen Rou had climbed over the wall to steal.
"Humph, Shen Jizu, Xu, what else do you have to say?"
The two men could not make excuses because the fact was that they were going to steal Lin Ting's things and sell them for silver.
Shen Jizu felt very ashamed, but he didn't want to die, and now, only one person could save him.
"Stop crying, go home and find my mom, just ask my mom to come over, you idiot!"
The only way is to call Shen's mother over. With her fierce and shameless attitude, she will definitely threaten Shen Dali to save him.
Anyway, he just stole Shen Dali's things, and they are still there. Shen Dali didn't lose anything. Why would he do this to him along with the villagers? They are brothers.
Xu didn't move. She looked at Shen Jizu and Shen Rou with tears in her eyes.
"Grandma, she hasn't woken up yet. No matter how I call her, she won't wake up."
Shen Jizu regretted that he had put too much smilax china juice, he deserved it.
"Isn't my mother in good health? Now is the time when we need her, why is she so useless?"
Shen Qingzhou and Shen Dali heard these words very clearly. Even a dull person like Shen Dali knew that everything that happened tonight was a scam of the Shen family.
His mother once again deceived him and stole his money for the sake of her elder brother. Could it be that his mother just couldn't bear to see him live a good life?
Shen Dali was so disappointed. Why did he have such a mother who was so biased?
"A thief is a thief. If he doesn't hand over the stolen goods from the village, we will all beat him to death..."
I don't know who shouted, but the villagers, who were filled with righteous indignation, immediately raised their sticks and were about to hit Shen Jizu and Shen Rou.
It is already the Yin hour, and it will be dawn soon. The village chief also wants to resolve the matter of Shen Jizu and others before dawn, so as to avoid embarrassing their Wushan Village after dawn.
"Village Chief, please stop, please stop...please listen to me first, please listen to me first..."
Shen Jizu looked at Xu, his eyes moving back and forth between Xu and Lin Ting, his meaning was obvious, that is, to let Xu go and beg Lin Ting.
