"The person who came here is evil!"
Shen Mingzhu narrowed her eyes and saw a figure hiding under the mountain. Her eyes instantly turned cold.
"Shen Mingjun? I haven't even looked for you yet, and you're here to cause trouble. It looks like I have to completely eradicate your family as soon as possible."
The officials came very quickly. As soon as they got up the mountain, they pushed everyone around without asking why, and shouted:
"Stop, all of you stop, stand aside and squat."
When the villagers who were working saw the official, and were frightened by the shining sword in the official's hand, they hurriedly put down their farm tools, walked aside and squatted.
The village chief and Old Man Shen also rushed over and asked worriedly.
Seeing that the officials were coming with bad intentions, Old Man Shen hurriedly asked, "What do you want to do?"
The officer glanced at Old Man Shen, waved his hand, pushed Old Man Shen away, and angrily scolded him in a bad tone:
"Go away, squat aside. How dare an old man like you talk to me? Where is the head of your village? Call him over to answer the question."
The officials' attitude was so arrogant and brutal that the villagers were frightened and huddled aside, not daring to say a word.
It's not their fault. Since ancient times, people have been afraid of officials, especially in ancient times. If you are not careful, you will anger the officials and they will take you to jail and beat you up. If you want to get out, you will lose everything.
Old man Shen was almost pushed to stagger by the officer. He walked forward angrily and was about to argue when the village chief gave him a look.
The village chief hurried forward, saluted the official, and asked flatteringly:
"Sir, I am the village chief Shen Rujie. I wonder what brings you here?"
Seeing the village chief's good attitude, the leading official said coldly:
"Someone reported you for cutting down trees without permission. Since you, the village chief, are leading the charge, take them all away."
The leading officer gave an order, and all the officers drew their swords and pushed the crowd with fierce looks on their faces.
The villagers who were pushed were terrified. Are they going to put them in jail?
If they were caught and thrown into jail, they would never be able to get out in their lifetime. Cutting down trees without permission is a serious crime!
As long as they go to jail, they will be skinned alive. Who can endure the suffering of prison?
Everyone cried out for injustice and the scene became chaotic.
"It's unfair! Sir, we are just here to work!"
"Sir, we really didn't cut down trees without permission. This forest has an owner, it's him. This mountain belongs to the Shen family!"
"Sir, I have children to take care of and parents to take care of. Please don't arrest me! We are just here to work. You can't arrest us."
The cries of more than sixty people begging for mercy were so loud that the leading officer's ears were buzzing.
He pushed the village chief who was explaining away in annoyance, swung out his sword, chopped off a small tree nearby, and shouted:
"Shut up, all of you! I said you cut down trees without permission, and you did it without permission. If you continue to make trouble, you will be like this tree, with your heads chopped off. I will arrest you and put you in jail."
The county town has been very peaceful recently, and they still have many tasks to complete. There are more than sixty people here. If they catch these people, they will not only be able to complete the task, but also get excess bonuses.
Before they set out from the yamen, the lawyer instructed them to go to Shenjia Village and capture the person. How dare they disobey the lawyer's words?
Thinking of this, the leading officer's face became even uglier, and he used violence against the village chief and Old Man Shen.
When Shen Mingzhu saw that something was wrong, she ran down the mountain from the top of the mountain in a few quick steps. She felt angry when she saw that her old man was still chattering with the officers but was pushed around by them.
The dog official is really a dog.
Seeing that the old man was about to fall, she rushed over, swept her right leg, and with a bang, the leading official was knocked to the ground, face down, and swallowed a mouthful of mud.
The two younger brothers hurried forward to help the leading official up. He spat out the mud in his mouth, pointed at Shen Mingzhu's nose angrily, and shouted:
"Where did this wild girl come from? How dare she offend me? Arrest her for me."
Shen Mingzhu folded her hands, stood there fearlessly, and said calmly:
"What a great official power!"
"You came to my mountain to arrest people without asking any questions. You are simply disregarding the law and taking human life lightly."
The police were furious. Several of them raised their bayonets and surrounded Shen Mingzhu, not caring at all that Shen Mingzhu was a child.
Seeing this, Old Man Shen secretly thought that something was wrong and quickly stood in front of Shen Mingzhu, straightened his body, and said righteously:
"My dear officers, I am a humble man, but I am a scholar in the 26th year of Daqian. I know a thing or two about the laws of Daqian."
"This is my granddaughter Shen Mingzhu. These two mountains are also my family's mountains. May I ask, sir, how can it be considered illegal logging when we cut down the forests in our own mountains?"
Old man Shen stood straight with his back and a dignified temperament. He no longer looked like an ordinary old farmer.
His words were well-reasoned and he revealed his identity as a scholar, which made the officers stop and look at the leading officer.
When the leading official heard the word "scholar", his body paused.
He glanced up and down at Old Man Shen and saw that although Old Man Shen was wearing ordinary farmer's shorts, he had a scholarly air and his temperament was indeed different from that of ordinary people. He began to think.
When Old Man Shen saw the other party stop, he breathed a sigh of relief and explained in a gentler tone:
"Sir, these two forests were bought by our Shen family. The land deeds have been processed at the county government office. The forests are under my granddaughter's name. We did not cut down the forests without permission."
Old Man Shen was a little anxious. The people should not fight against the officials. If the officials really arrested people, even though he was a scholar, there was nothing he could do for the time being.
The leading officer originally wanted to let them go because he saw that the other party was a scholar.
Scholars in this period had a very high status and did not have to kneel when meeting officials. If these people were really arrested, it would be troublesome for the old scholar to join forces with other scholars to file a complaint.
But thinking of what his master had told him before he left, his attitude suddenly turned cold, and he said directly:
"I don't know whether you have a land deed or not, but someone has reported you for cutting down trees without permission. You all should come with me to the county government office now."
There is no room for negotiation at all.
The leading officer's gaze fell on Shen Mingzhu. Seeing Shen Mingzhu's dark eyes staring coldly at him, he didn't know why, but his heart suddenly felt cold. He always felt that this silent girl was not simple.
Shen Mingzhu was thinking about how to solve the current dilemma.
It is impossible to confront the police directly. If they fight them head-on, even if they win, the monk can escape but the temple cannot.
She took out the title deed of the mountain forest from her bosom, or in fact from the system space, and unfolded it in front of the official, saying loudly:
"My dear officers, this is the title deed of these two mountains and forests. My name is on both of them. There are official seals and signatures on the title deed. They cannot be forged. Please take a look."
When the chief officer saw the seal of the land deed office, he already had an idea in his mind, but in order to complete the task assigned by his master, he wanted to step forward and snatch the deed.
Shen Mingzhu flashed and took the deed into her arms, and asked with a gloomy look:
"Does the officer want to tear up my land deed?"
His thoughts were seen through by a little girl, and the chief officer's face instantly turned dark, he was so angry.
Considering that he had been in office for so many years, who among the common people dared to speak loudly in front of him? Who dared to refute him?
He was furious and no longer cared whether the scholar was a scholar or not. He believed that even a scholar could be tortured into confessing something once he entered the yamen.
Thinking of this, the leading officer gleamed with ferocity and waved to the surrounding yamen runners. More than a dozen yamen runners rushed over from all directions in an instant and surrounded Shen Mingzhu and his companions.
Shen Mingzhu was furious. These people ate and used the people's money.
They blatantly wrongly accused ordinary people in broad daylight. These people are unreasonable and obviously came to arrest them on purpose.
In that case, let them go up the mountain standing up and go down the mountain lying down today.
Shen Mingzhu clenched her fists tightly, ready to fight at any time.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Old Man Shen and the village chief hurried to Shen Mingzhu, holding her and protecting her.
The other villagers squatting in Shenjia Village were all angry.
Seeing that these officers did not listen to their explanation at all and were obviously here to cause trouble and arrest them, they did not want to endure it any longer.
Since I have to go to jail anyway, I might as well fight them.
Shen Mingzhu is not afraid of a girl, so what are they afraid of?
The people of Shenjia Village could not be framed for no reason. They refused to admit the false accusation.
Everyone shook off their fear of the officials and stood up.
One, two, three, four... one after another, the farmers stood up and stared at the officers with fierce looks on their faces.
As long as the officials dared to move, they would rebel. Since they would be imprisoned anyway, it would be better to prove the crime and not be wrongly killed.
The officers with swords did not expect that these people would dare to resist.
They watched nervously, slowly gathering around the sixty or so farm men who were glaring at them. They felt a little nervous and leaned back a little.
They have always been arrogant and were forced by others in the past. Now that so many people suddenly resist, they are somewhat nervous.
The chief officer was furious when he saw that the people he brought were retreating, and he cursed in his heart.
Damn it, they eat delicious food all the time, but they are useless when the critical moment comes. They are really a bunch of waste.
Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly serious, the leading officer waved his sword and shouted:
"These villagers dared to stop the officers from carrying out their duties. Beat them up!"
This was intolerable, and Shen Mingzhu decided not to tolerate it any longer.
She knew that this battle had to be fought today.
These people were determined to cause trouble for them. Even if they endured it, they would be suppressed and beaten. If they were thrown into jail, their fate would be even worse.
Rather than waiting to die, it is better to fight back immediately.
As soon as the chief officer typed, Shen Mingzhu's fist, ready to strike, rushed towards him like a gust of wind.
The force of the fist was so great that it was terrifying, as if it was going to smash his head.
The leading officer noticed Shen Mingzhu's strength and was so scared that he stepped back with his eyes wide open.
