Chapter 207 Someone Reported
Zhaojia Village.
Zhao Dazhuang and his mother were busy packing their things.
"Son, are you really leaving?" Da Zhuang's mother was still reluctant to let him go. "This is the house I built when I married your father. And now you're just leaving like this..."
“Mother,” Zhao Dazhuang looked up at his mother, “It’s not like we’re never coming back. This house is still here.”
"I know, I am..."
“Mother, I also hate to leave my home, but if I stay, I don’t know what might happen,” Zhao Dazhuang sighed.
“I know,” Da Zhuang’s mother nodded. “I just never expected that Cuicui would suddenly turn out like that.”
Zhao Dazhuang smiled and said, "Mother, hurry up and pack. Miss Yunyi will be coming to pick us up soon."
Wu Cuicui probably didn't change suddenly; she's always been that kind of person. It's just that she was blinded by the feelings of childhood sweethearts before. Now that she's set aside those feelings, she can see the other person's true character.
Just then, a commotion arose outside, and soon the door was kicked open from the outside.
Zhao Dazhuang hurriedly came out and saw several constables entering, followed by the village chief and others. He frowned and asked, "Gentlemen, what does this mean?"
"You must be Zhao Dazhuang? Someone reported you for hoarding iron. Come with us." The head constable glanced around before his gaze settled on Zhao Dazhuang's face.
"What do you mean by hoarding iron?" Zhao Dazhuang frowned. "This is a frame-up."
"This is none of our business. Let's go to the yamen to talk." The head yamen runner waved his hand. "Take him away."
"What right do you have to arrest my son?" Da Zhuang's mother hurriedly stepped in front of her son, "If you're going to arrest someone, arrest me first."
"Get out of the way, or we'll arrest you too."
"Officer, it must be a misunderstanding." Village Chief Zhao Benfen hurriedly stepped forward. "Dazhuang is a good boy, he's always been well-behaved, he wouldn't..."
"We received a tip from someone else."
“Even if someone reports it, there has to be evidence, right?” Zhao Dazhuang patted his mother’s arm reassuringly, then walked forward. “We can’t just arrest people without any proof, can we?”
"Evidence? It's naturally in your house, search it..."
"What's going on?" Yunyi walked in at that moment.
"Girl, you've come." Zhao Dazhuang didn't know why, but he was terrified just now, but the moment he saw Yunyi, he inexplicably felt at ease.
"What's going on?" Yunyi nodded slightly.
"Who are you?" The head constable frowned as he looked at Yun Yi.
"Never mind who I am, I just want to know, what happened to him?"
“Someone reported him for hoarding iron, which is a serious crime, so…”
"Nonsense," Yunyi interrupted directly. "They don't even own an iron pot, so where would they get a hoard of iron?"
"Someone reported it..."
"Who reported her? Make her come out and confront us. I also reported the person who reported me for theft, why aren't you arresting that person?"
"How can you be so unreasonable?" the constable roared. "Do you believe I'll arrest you too?"
"Why don't you give it a try?" Hong Yi stepped forward, looking at the four constables with disdain.
"You...you're going to rebel? You..."
"Don't jump to conclusions," Yunyi quickly interrupted. "Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about for acting so indiscriminately?"
"Stop talking nonsense." The constable waved his hand. "Search quickly, and then..."
However, Hong Yi blocked the doorway.
"Get out of the way," the lead constable said, drawing his sword.
Hong Yi kicked the hilt of the sword, sending it flying back into its sheath. The leading constable was also kicked and stumbled: "Don't use knives or guns without permission. These are all civilians here."
"you……"
"Brother Niu, Brother Niu!" A constable hurriedly grabbed the leader from behind. "These two are not to be trifled with. If we fight them head-on, we'll definitely suffer."
The man called Brother Niu hesitated. After all, ordinary people were terrified of them, so how could they dare to talk back to them? Didn't you see that Zhao Benfen was trembling with fear?
But these two were completely fearless. Moreover, the two women were dressed in ways that didn't seem like ordinary people. But this was an order from the clerk, and they couldn't disobey it.
Yunyi frowned slightly: "Your surname is Niu?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Niu Kan?"
"you know me?"
"Hehe." Yunyi laughed. "I don't know you, but... surely you know Tiger Head, right?"
"Huh? You...you are..." Niu Kan's expression changed instantly. "You're Sister Yun?"
"Yes." Yun Yi nodded. "That kid told you about me?"
"I said it, I said it," Niu Kan nodded hurriedly. "This is truly a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple."
Upon hearing this, the three constables behind her changed their gaze towards Yunyi. At least their previous arrogance was gone, and they even had a hint of flattery.
"So what's the situation with Zhao Dazhuang?" Yun Yi asked, gesturing with her lips.
"Sister Yun." Niu Kan waved to Yun Yi.
Yunyi walked over.
"Someone complained, and then the clerk gave instructions, so we..."
"Master Advisor? What's your surname?"
"Liu, Liu Bencai, Master Liu."
"Liu," Yunyi smiled, "Dazhuang, do you know who reported you?"
Zhao Dazhuang's expression was rather unpleasant.
People around them started whispering among themselves.
"Does Master Liu have a grudge against Da Zhuang?"
"Oh dear, are you stupid? The one who has a grudge against Dazhuang isn't Master Liu, but the Wu family."
"That's right, didn't the Wu family marry Liu the rich man? They both have the surname Liu, so they're family, right?"
"Master Liu and the rich man Liu are cousins."
……
Zhao Benfen's face also turned ugly. After all, if a criminal really appeared in the village, it would affect the whole village. Was Wu Cuicui trying to bring bad luck to the whole village?
"In that case, let's go to the county government office," Yunyi said. "Let's not make things difficult for Officer Niu." After all, she had never been to the county town before.
Zhao Dazhuang nodded slightly: "Okay."
"Sister Yun, could you let us search?"
"Sure," Yunyi nodded. "Go ahead and search."
The constables exchanged glances and then cautiously entered the house.
"Um... I heard you have a cellar? Can we go take a look?" Niu Kan asked Zhao Dazhuang tentatively, but his eyes were on Yun Yi.
“Okay.” Yunyi nodded. “I’ll take you there.”
Zhao Dazhuang tried to stop her with concern, but Yunyi seemed not to notice his hesitation. She went straight over, opened the cellar entrance, and jumped down first without even stepping on a ladder.
