Mrs. Zhang shut up. Old Man Zhang saw that his wife and two daughters-in-law were all beaten badly, and his two eldest grandsons were still groaning on the ground.

There were many villagers around watching the fun, and the village chief had also arrived, so he got brave enough to fight and changed his face, "What are you doing, my dear relatives? How big is the hatred between us? You beat me, your daughter-in-law, and your grandson like this? If you don't give me an explanation today, we will meet in the government office."

Yun Hai was delighted when he heard this. "That's fine, Zhang Goudan, let's go to the government office and talk it out. But you have to think it over carefully. Once we go to the government office, it's just a fight between a few women. At most, my Yun family will pay a few silver coins to settle the matter. But you committed murder for money and locked someone up in the cellar. At the very least, you will spend the rest of your life in prison. At the worst, you will be exiled thousands of miles away. It's unclear whether you can survive to the place of exile."

Yunhai didn't want to get entangled with them any more. His daughter was still in the cellar waiting for treatment. He had to get her out first.

Old man Zhang hated being called Zhang Goudan, but he didn't have time to dwell on the name at the moment. He was also a little confused when he heard that someone was locked in the cellar. When was the person locked in the cellar? Wasn't it just a fight between two brothers that didn't involve a doctor in time? How did it rise to the level of murder for money?

Old Man Zhang looked at Mrs. Zhang, who was so frightened when she heard about going to jail or exile that she sat down on the ground.

Yun Hai saw that the time was almost right, so he bowed to the village chief Liu and the villagers who were watching the fun and said, "Village chief Liu, fellow villagers of Kaoshan Village, I, Yun Hai, ask you to bear witness for me today, so that everyone can see how my good daughter of the Yun family was tortured by the Zhang family after marrying into Kaoshan Village.

My Yun family also gave a dowry, but now the dowry has been taken away by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they want to put my good daughter to death. Isn't this murder for money?"

Although Yunhai did not understand the laws of the Jokhang Dynasty, he thought that they should be the same in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. As long as the crime of murder for money was proven, the punishment would not be light.

Yunhai's words made the Zhang family feel scared. They were just fighting between brothers, so how could it be considered a murder for money?

The villagers who were watching the fun were all stunned. They never expected that the Zhang family could be so cruel. Not only did they covet their daughter-in-law's dowry, but they also wanted to kill people. This was simply insane and outrageous!

Yun Hai ignored the Zhang family members who were still stunned and told his nephews: "Qinglin, Qingbai, Qingfeng...you brothers, follow Duoer to rescue Qingqing and your niece. Village Chief Liu, please go and be witnesses with the villagers. Don't worry, as long as you testify for my Yun family today, my Yun family will prepare a thank you gift in the future."

The villagers also followed, firstly because they wanted to watch the fun, and secondly because the little kid who led the way could give so many copper coins, and if they gave as a testimony, the Yun family would not treat them unfairly.

Yun Qinglin and his brothers followed Yun Duo to the backyard. Mrs. Zhang saw so many people going to the backyard and thought it was not good. They couldn't let them find the fourth brother's family.

Mrs. Zhang jumped up from the ground and blocked the way, saying, "I told you that the fourth child and his family went to her uncle's house. You can't go to the backyard, or I will sue you for trespassing."

Yun Duo saw that Mrs. Zhang was blocking everyone like a wall and was about to kick her away, but Second Wife rushed up like a whirlwind, grabbed Mrs. Zhang's hair, pulled her to the side, and cursed, "Mrs. Zhang, haven't you been beaten enough?" After that, she slapped Mrs. Zhang hard twice and pushed her aside.

Chu Xiaoli was dumbfounded. Today was really an eye-opener. She would have to brag about it to her two sisters-in-law when she got home. She never expected that her usually kind and amiable mother-in-law and her beautiful and gentle cousin-in-law would be so fierce when they beat people.

Yun Duo led everyone to the entrance of the cellar, and the situation inside was in full view. Everyone clearly saw that Zhang Sigui and his wife and three children were all tied up, their mouths were blocked, and they were imprisoned down there.

Yun Qingqing was unconscious, while Zhang Sigui and the three children had their eyes wide open, staring at the person who came. The three girls' faces were covered with tear marks, and the tears left traces on their dirty little faces.

The Yun Qinglin brothers carefully untied the ropes and carried the person out of the cellar. The girl was in the cellar, and she did not cry even after the ropes and the cloth gag on her mouth were untied. When she came up and saw Second Grandma, Li Xiuxiu, and Chu Xiaoli, she threw herself into their arms and cried loudly, calling out: "Second Grandma, Aunt, Second Aunt".

When they were locked up in the cellar, they thought they would die of starvation. But when they saw their second grandmother and aunt, they felt like they had found a life-saving straw, and they threw themselves into their arms and burst into tears.

Yun Qinglin and his brothers carried Zhang Sigui and the unconscious Yun Qingqing to the front yard and put them on the ground.

When Zhang Sigui saw Yunhai coming, he dragged his injured leg to his feet, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Yunhai and begged: "Dad, please save Qingqing! Qingqing had a miscarriage yesterday and still has a high fever and is unconscious."

Yun Hai went forward to check Yun Qingqing's pulse and found that Yun Qingqing was very weak. The aborted baby must have been about four or five months old, and should have formed. There should still be blood clots in the body that have not been drained out. As for the coma, it might be caused by a high fever.

I checked the pulses of several girls again. Fortunately, apart from being a little weak due to hunger and the youngest one having a little fever, the others only had external injuries caused by being beaten with willow twigs.

He took another look at Zhang Sigui, the leg that was obviously broken and the scars all over his body. Yunhai sighed. He didn't want to care about him, but considering that he still knew how to protect his wife and children, he took his pulse and felt his bones.
