Chapter 3132 Execution (Third Update)
Yang Ruoqing said: "This reward is given to those who contributed the night before yesterday. Those who did not participate will not get it. This is a reward from the Yamen."
Mr. Liu pleases He smiled and said: "We have a chance to meet you, so why don't we give you some wedding money! Don't you guys think so?"
Although the people watching the fun around are envious, they can't save face at this moment. Agree, but don’t deny it either.
Yang Ruoqing smiled, "What? You just saved your life and you are so greedy?"
"Yesterday, my father and others shared the wild boar meat and rice, right? Every household has it, and you, Fourth Aunt, have it too. As a human being, don't be too greedy. Greed will cost you your life. Let's see who saves you!" ”
A few words directly made Mr. Liu blush, and other greedy people around him were afraid to speak again.
"Qing'er, how will Magistrate Zou punish Butcher Chen and the others?"
Here, Yang Huazhong changed the subject and asked about this matter.
This matter was also the focus of others, and everyone immediately focused their attention on Yang Ruoqing again.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Butcher Chen and Chen Hu and his son were the masterminds of creating chaos and massacring the village during this special period. Magistrate Zou sentenced them to beheading!" The execution was carried out at the entrance of the city. As for the others, they were all imprisoned and sentenced to more than ten years. Chen Xiong was sentenced to twenty years. The prison sentence is about to be exhausted. "
Everyone felt relieved when they heard this. Take a breath.
But at the same time, they were all frightened.
“Do you really want to behead your head? It sounds scary.” Someone said.
"I heard that if the head falls off, it will only have a scar as big as the mouth of a bowl. I heard that it will leave a lot of blood..."
"No one from the Chen family will collect the body, right?"
"Brother Chen, will you collect the body when the time comes?"
Someone asked Butcher Chen's cousin in the crowd.
The middle-aged man just came over and took eight taels of silver and put it into his arms. He was in a good mood now, with a faint smile on his face.
When he heard someone ask this, his face immediately fell.
“I’m full and I’m going to collect his body!” he said.
"How can people like them, father and son, have the face to bury themselves in the graves of the old Chen family in Changping Village? Our ancestors have been humiliated by him for eight generations, so let them die outside. This is their retribution. !" he said.
Everyone sighed.
Falled leaves return to their roots, and foxes die on their first mounds.
People in this era value their belongings after death the most. What happened to the four men like Butcher Chen and his son is really... indescribable, let alone acceptable.
This is really retribution!
"Execution in July? This is not a good month." Mrs. Liu spoke again.
"July is a yin month, and it's a ghost moon," Liu continued after seeing that she had successfully attracted everyone's attention to herself, licking her dry lips.
“People as cruel as Butcher Chen and his son, who save money and kill people to do bad things, will definitely become evil ghosts after death.”
"It happens to be the execution in July. Oh my God, the ghost will still be there by then. Will he come back to take revenge?" Ms. Liu asked.
When the others heard these words, their expressions changed.
The farmers believe in ghosts and gods, and there are endless rumors about those ghosts and monsters in the countryside.
“What should I do?” someone asked.
Liu said: "I don't know, I'm just worried!"
"There is a saying that every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. When the ghosts of the Chen family and his son return to the village and seek revenge one by one on those who took the money rewarded by the Yamen, it will be really troublesome."
" I say, you guys take all the reward money Come out, let's spread it out and share it more or less, so that when the Chen family comes back, they won't know who to seek revenge on, because we have all received the reward, don't you think? "Is it true in the crowd? Some people had a look of hesitation on their faces.
Seeing this, Yang Ruoqing stood up and said: "Fourth Aunt, we have been working together for a long time. You are saying these alarmist words to scare everyone, and the purpose is to get the reward of a few taels of silver. ? I’ve convinced you too, is it over yet?”
Yang Ruoqing almost yelled out.
Ms. Liu was startled and grinned apologetically.
Yang Ruoqing turned to the other villagers who had received the money and said: "Everyone keeps their own money and goes back to buy rice and grain. Don't be fooled by those with ulterior motives. ”
“I I reminded you in front of everyone. If anyone comes back crying and complains that their money was cheated, don’t say I didn’t remind them. They deserve it if they were cheated!”
After that, Yang Ruoqing also specifically glanced in Liu's direction.
Ms. Liu was embarrassed, turned around and walked towards the door.
Others also dispersed one after another.
"Qing'er, are you hungry? Come to the backyard, the food is hot." Mrs. Sun came to Yang Ruoqing's side and said gently and lovingly.
Yang Ruoqing was actually hungry for a long time. After hearing this, she quickly followed Sun to the backyard.
On the stove, there are two bowls of vegetables.
One bowl is fried tofu with wild vegetables, and the other is fried eggs with green peppers. These are Yang Ruoqing's favorite.
She picked up the bowl of white rice next to her and took a bite when she saw Mr. Sun lift the lid of the pot and take out a black pottery bowl from the top of the rice.
"Come, eat this." She said, and put the bowl in front of Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing glanced at the bowl, which contained braised pork cooked with spicy pepper, ginger and garlic.
"Braised pork?" Yang Ruoqing asked, taking a chopstick and tasting it.
"Is there anything different?" Sun asked with a smile.
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "The braised pork is a bit tougher than the braised pork I used to eat. Mom, what kind of meat is this?"
Sun smiled and said, "This is wild boar meat."
"Wild boar? Where did you get the wild boar?" Yang Ruoqing was even more surprised.
"It belongs to Butcher Chen and his friends..."
Sun told Yang Ruoqing everything about dividing the meat into rice yesterday.
Yang Ruoqing didn't have any objections to dividing the pork among the villagers.
But when he heard that Yang Huazhong actually handed over thirty kilograms of rice to distribute to the villagers, Yang Ruoqing began to have a few black lines on her forehead.
“Thirty kilograms of rice, mom, dad and Xiao An, Xiaohua Xiaoduo, you two can eat it for half a month!”
“Just take it out and give it to the people in the village. There are so many families, what is the use of sharing a pound of rice to one family? Oh? I can’t take care of it for two days.”
“After two days, I won’t talk about how good you are. It’s better to keep it until most people in the village can’t open the pot. The big dining hall,”
"Mix those dozens of kilograms of rice with wild vegetables to make porridge, and give alms to the villagers every day. In this way, we can manage it for about ten days, and everyone will keep talking about our number for ten days. Look, it won't be profitable for seven or eight days. Well, haha..."
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Sun smiled.
"What you said is indeed true, but we have to cook the porridge ourselves. Not to mention the effort, it may not be pleasing to the eye. The portion may be a little too much for someone, and some people may not be served. It's so annoying again!" said Sun.
"Instead of that, I might as well just send it out now, so that everyone can at least be clean!" After hearing what Sun said, Yang Ruoqing found that it was not completely unreasonable. Any method It's like a double-edged sword, with pros and cons.
