Sweet baby milk, bring the whole family rich
Chapter 87 Delivering to the Official
At the same time, the surrounding neighbors were also alarmed by the loud noise coming from this side.
They lit torches one after another and hurried to the courtyard of the Yunting Luo family.
When everyone saw the abundant food that almost filled the entire yard, their expressions varied: some people's eyes flashed with greed and jealousy, while others showed genuine envy.
At this time, the kind-hearted and warm-hearted Aunt Li was the first to break the silence. She asked with concern on her face, "Brother Yun, what's going on?"
At this moment, Mr. Yun finally came to his senses. He looked at the crowd in the yard in astonishment, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Then he yelled at the top of his lungs, "Oh no! Our house has been robbed! Dear kind neighbors, please help us!"
When everyone heard that there was a thief in the house, they immediately jumped into action, some picked up sticks, some picked up kitchen knives, and rushed to the kitchen.
In the blink of an eye, the originally small kitchen was crowded with people who came to help catch the thief.
At this time, Zhang Dahua and his wife, who were hiding in the kitchen, were already scared out of their wits. Faced with so many people, they had no way to escape.
Yun Tingluo effortlessly carried the two men out of the kitchen and threw them in the middle of the yard.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the crowd: "Huh? Isn't this Zhang Dahua and Yun Dashan?"
Seeing this, the village chief stepped forward and majestically shouted at the two men lying on the ground in dishevel, "Lift your heads!"
Zhang Dahua and Yun Dashan trembled and raised their heads tremblingly. When they realized that they could no longer escape punishment, their hearts were filled with despair and regret.
At the same time, Yun Zhaodi, who had been waiting anxiously outside the yard, witnessed her grandmother being taken away.
She was terrified, turned around and ran home, and quickly closed the door.
I was secretly glad that I didn't respond and go into the kitchen when my grandma called me, otherwise I would be the one being caught.
"Zhang Dahua, Yun Dashan, now that things have come to this, what else do you have to say?" the village chief asked with his eyes wide open.
"Village chief, please don't be angry yet. Please listen to my explanation slowly! This was really not my intention! It was all instigated by Zhang Dahua! She told me in person that Yun Ting's family made a lot of money. I was bewildered for a moment and had such evil intentions." Yun Dashan's face was full of fear and regret, and he defended himself to the village chief with a slightly trembling voice.
However, after hearing Yun Dashan's words, Zhang Dahua's face instantly became extremely ugly.
She had no time to show any mercy to Yun Dashan. She quickly turned to the village chief and refuted him at a rapid pace, "Village chief, please don't believe Yun Dashan's nonsense! In fact, it's clear that he owed a huge gambling debt and couldn't repay it, so he had evil intentions of taking the Yun Ting family's property. This matter has nothing to do with me!"
At this moment, everyone watching was stunned. They had never expected that this farce would develop into this state.
They had originally just wanted to watch the fun, but instead they witnessed a heated argument between a couple, accusing each other and refusing to give in. Everyone secretly sighed in their hearts, saying that this couple's acting skills were truly superb. Such a wonderful performance was worth coming all the way to see this good show.
Faced with the chaotic situation, the village chief remained stern and unmoved. No matter how Yun Dashan and Zhang Dahua argued, the fact that they had caught the perpetrators red-handed was an ironclad fact that no one could change.
The village chief knew that this matter must be handled impartially, without the slightest hint of favoritism. So, he turned to the silent Yun Tingluo and said firmly, "Boss Yun, lock them up in the woodshed now and keep them under guard. Tomorrow morning, escort them to the government office for a decision. Everyone present can testify to what happened today. If anyone dares to abuse their power, corrupt their rights, or condone this, don't blame me for being ruthless!" With that, the village chief glanced at the crowd, his eyes revealing a sense of authority.
Hearing what the village chief said, most of the villagers were very happy. Many people had long disliked their family. They really were a family that ruined the reputation of the entire village. It would be great if they could just get them kicked out of Yunjia Village because of this incident.
The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, a thin veil of mist still hung over the eastern sky. Yun Tingluo and his family, along with Zhang Dahua and his wife, were already on their way to the town government office. The village chief and several people who had arrived at the Yun family the previous night also joined them. As they made their way along the winding path, the sound of their footsteps shattered the morning tranquility.
Finally arriving at the town hall, everyone knelt in the hall. Yun Tingluo straightened his body and said respectfully to the high-ranking Magistrate Pu, "Sir, please do this for me!" He then recounted to Magistrate Pu exactly what had happened last night.
After hearing the whole story, Pu Zhixian's face darkened. He slammed the table in anger and shouted, "Do you two know what crime you have committed?"
At this time, Zhang Dahua and Yun Dashan knew that they could not escape the blame today. In order to avoid suffering more physical pain, they simply admitted their guilt.
"In this case, according to the laws of this dynasty, the size of the theft determines the severity of the punishment. Those with less than one string of coins will be punished with sixty strokes of the cane; those with between one string of coins and ten strings of coins will be punished with seventy strokes of the cane... and the amount of theft committed by the two of you just meets the standard of seventy strokes of the cane." County Magistrate Pu solemnly pronounced the verdict to the two people in the hall.
Hearing they were going to be beaten with seventy sticks, Yun Dashan and Zhang Dahua panicked. Their faces turned pale as paper and their bodies trembled. How could they possibly survive these seventy sticks?
So, the two men knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Pu Zhixian for mercy, but Pu Zhixian had no mercy at all. He didn't even look at them and directly ordered the bailiffs to take the two men away.
"Thank you, sir!" Yun Tingluo bowed deeply to Lord Pu to express his gratitude.
Afterwards, he led the villagers to the Yun Family Restaurant. After all, what happened today was thanks to the help of these people. If it weren't for their testimony, Yun Tingluo probably wouldn't have been able to convict Zhang Dahua and his wife so easily.
Therefore, it is only natural to treat everyone to a meal.
When everyone arrived at the door of Yun's restaurant, the village chief seemed a little hesitant. He stood at the door and hesitated to move forward.
Seeing this, Yun Tingluo hurried forward to support the village chief and said with a smile: "Village chief, don't worry, this restaurant is run by our family, you can rest assured." After that, he led the village chief into the restaurant.
When the other villagers heard this, they couldn't help but sigh in admiration. It turned out that this restaurant was actually owned by the Yun family. No wonder the business was so prosperous. They secretly thought that they must treat the Yun Ting family better in the future.
Yun Tingluo told his family about the thief who broke into his house yesterday and how Zhang Dahua and his wife were sent to the police. Old Lady Yun couldn't stand it at all. Zhang Dahua was so heartless. If she had been at home yesterday, she would have made her pay. However, after seventy strokes of the cane, it was not known whether the two of them would still be alive, but it was considered that they had received the punishment they deserved.
Xiangdong was delighted to see so many people coming. She immediately went into the kitchen and began to work. Soon, a tempting aroma wafted from the kitchen, making everyone salivate.
After a while, Xiangdong came out of the kitchen with a series of delicious dishes, including braised pork, steamed fish, stir-fried vegetables, etc., all of which were rare delicacies for country people.
Everyone sat around the table and enjoyed the sumptuous meal. While savoring the food, they chatted and laughed, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
After dinner, the village chief led the group back to Yunjia Village. Yun Tingluo and Old Man Yun had originally planned to go back together, but Old Lady Yun was worried about another accident and insisted that they stay in town overnight and return to the village together tomorrow.
