The monkey drama is very exciting. The villagers of Zoujiazhai watched it with relish. They actually refused to let the old man who was performing arts take the monkey away. They shouted and asked him to play for a while, and would give them a reward when they were satisfied.

The old man who was performing arts also had a good temper. Without the reward, he really played for another half an hour. Several villagers who had some extra money at home did what they said, and each of them took out twenty cents and handed them over to the monkey who came forward to ask for rewards.

Just as the monkey show was about to end, seven or eight yamen runners suddenly appeared on the rice field, causing a riot among the villagers.

The common people had a natural fear of the officials. When they saw the officials, they usually took a detour and were unwilling to deal with them. This time the officer actually arrived in a remote place like Zoujiazhai. They were intuition that something big happened and were afraid of being implicated.

"Where is Zeng Yang?" The head-in-chief glanced at the crowd and shouted loudly in the anxiety of the villagers.

Zeng's mother didn't react. She looked around and found that everyone in the village was staring at her. Her heart suddenly jumped and a huge feeling of anxiety surged.

"Are you Zeng Yang?" Following the villagers' eyes, the captain also saw Zeng's mother. Seeing that she was right about the age she told the reporter, her expression immediately became cold.

Zeng's mother turned pale and said in two battles: "Official, official, I, I am Zeng Yang. What's wrong with the official?"

The headmaster smiled coldly and waved his hand: "Take it away!"

After he finished speaking, two officers rushed up fiercely to capture Zeng's mother.

"I'm wronged, help me, I won't leave, I won't leave!" Zeng's mother was so scared that she retreated repeatedly, desperately hid behind others, and subconsciously asked Zeng Da for help: "Son, save my mother quickly, save my mother quickly!"

The villagers were shocked and did not understand what an old woman could do, but they were afraid of the yamen runners' voices and did not dare to come forward to ask.

"You, why are you trying to catch my mother?" Zeng Daqiang resisted the panic in his heart, stepped forward and stood in front of Zeng's mother, questioning the yamen runners with a harsh and cowardly expression.

"Hmph, she, an old woman, is not flexible, and she must find a helper when she burglaries. Your son may not be innocent." The headmaster glanced at Zeng Da, then sternly said: "Come on, take this person down for me and leave it to the adults for personal interrogation!"

"Yes!" Two more yamen runners stepped forward and captured the suspect Zeng Da.

"No, no, I didn't steal anything, I was wronged!" After hearing the four words "burglary", Zeng Da, who was guilty, realized that the yamen runners had caught the wrong person and shouted in grimly.

Seeing this, the villagers also felt that their mother and son were wronged. For the sake of the villagers in the village, the village chief had to stand up and speak for them: "Dear officials, their mother and son have no problem with stealing. Did you make a mistake?"

The headmaster snorted: "It will be clear if you did it wrong and you will be taken back for interrogation. In short, someone sued Zeng Yang for stealing, and the silver involved in the case was as many as thousands of dollars. It is impossible for the adults to be careless."

After saying that, he didn't look at the village chief whose face changed drastically and said to the others: "Let's go, follow me to the Zeng family to search for the stolen goods!"

Hearing this, the Zeng family's mother and son, who were taken by the yamen runners, were completely panicked.

Others don’t know that they know that there is a living person locked in their cellar and cannot withstand the search. Once the officials find out, the charge of robbing others is not something they can bear!

The more Zeng's mother thought about it, the more she became, and she shouted loudly: "No, we didn't steal things, we didn't steal things, it was someone who framed us!"

Zeng Da also knew that the yamen runners must not be allowed to enter the house. He looked at the village chief and cried bitterly, "Uncle, my family is a little poor, but you also know that over the years, my mother and I didn't even go to other people's vegetable gardens, so how could we steal? Please help us, please help us!"

The village chief was so sad that he turned around and wanted to plead for the mother and son. When he saw the captain, he said impatiently: "Catching the thief and seeing the dirty thing, is it something you stole? Just search in your house and you will know it clearly!"

As he said that, he disliked the mother and son for being too noisy, which made him feel ache in his mind. He took off his shoes and took off his two socks, and stuffed them into Zeng's mother and Zeng Da's mouth respectively.

After walking on the mountain road for a long time, there was a lot of sweat on the soles of the soles. The smell of the socks was not pleasant. The Zeng family's mother and son rolled their eyes and their stomachs churned. However, their mouths were blocked and they couldn't even vomit.

The headmaster rushed back to the yamen to report his life, ignoring the chatter of the village chief and the villagers, and took the remaining few people straight to the Zeng family.

The villagers also wanted to know what was going on. Whether the Zeng family and his son had stole anything, so they stopped watching the monkey show and followed them in a noisy way to see what was going on.

Soon the people on the rice field were all gone, leaving only the artist and his three monkeys.

The old man who performed the art slowly packed up his things and said to the three monkeys who were peeling peanuts with a smile: "Let's go, grandpa will take you to the restaurant to have something delicious!"

The three monkeys seemed to understand, peeled the remaining peanuts, and obediently followed the old man in the art to leave the rice field and walked along the mountain road to the city.

The yamen runners brought the Zeng family and his son to the Zeng family. Seeing that the gate of the courtyard was locked, they held Zeng's mother out of the key and opened the door.

Zeng's mother trembled with her hands and couldn't even hold the key. Under the impatient urging of the yamen runners, she opened the door with a pale face and did not dare to walk into the room.

Zeng Da was not much better, and he refused to go in, as if this dilapidated courtyard was not his house, but his den.

The villagers saw the abnormality of the mother and son and started to murmur: Could it be that the mother and son really did burglary?

When they arrived inside the room, the mother and son subconsciously looked at the cellar. Seeing that there were big stones pressing on it, their faces became even more ugly. At this moment, they actually hoped that Hu Qingqing had escaped.

The headmaster looked around and saw that the Zeng family was empty and did not even have a decent chair. He had a clear understanding of the Zeng family's conditions in his heart, and then directed several subordinates: "Search it for me!"

Several yamen runners received the order, and after some discussion, they each found a house and searched.

They searched very carefully, and did not even let go of the straw on the bed. They uncovered it layer by layer and reached out to touch it. Not to mention under the bed, they directly overturned the bed board and looked at it bit by bit, and even looked at the cracked gap between the wall and the ground.

When they found the shrine, the Zeng family's mother and son looked tight and stared at the yamen runners, their palms covered in sweat.

A yamen runner reached into the incense burner full of ashes, and the next moment he grabbed a small cloth bag. He quickly presented it to the head of the captain to seek credit: "Boss, this cloth bag is very heavy, maybe it is the treasure we are looking for."

The Zeng family's mother and son were furious and struggled desperately, screaming "Mmm" in their mouths, trying to rush over to take back the small cloth bag.

The captain took the small cloth bag and opened it directly, and found that it was three taels of silver inside. He curled his lips and wrapped the small cloth bag again and put it in his pocket: "The family is so poor that they can still have silver. Maybe it is the stolen dirty silver, so they will take it back together."

After the words came, another yamen runner came over and handed a wooden box the size of a palm to the captain: "Sir, this was found in the crack of the wall."

When the captain opened the head, he found that there were five taels of silver and two silver hairpins with large weight. He felt more and more suspicious about the Zeng family and his son, but he did not dare to ignore these things.

"Continue to look for it!" He put away the things and instructed others: "If you dig three feet into the ground, you must find the things for me!"

After hearing this, the yamen runners searched more and more carefully, and their eyes swept across every place where the Zeng family might be hiding their treasures.

Seeing that the yamen runners found so much money and silver hairpins, the villagers were also surprised and looked at the Zeng family's mother and son in surprise. In their opinion, the Zeng family was poor and famine every year, and they could really save so much money and not live like this.

Some people began to believe that the Zeng family and his son had stolen something, and those who had spoken for them would never dare to speak again, for fear of being taken away by the yamen runners as their accomplices.

Half an hour later, I searched all the places I should look for, but no silver or valuables were found. So everyone looked at the only place that had not been searched - the cellar, including the Zeng family and his son.

"Go and open the cellar." The headmaster rubbed his hands and decided to go down and look for it in person.

The Zeng family and his son collapsed to the ground, their faces turned gray and they could no longer have any trouble.

The Zeng family had only one lamp, and the yamen runners could only use it. They moved the big stone on the stone door and led the captain to walk down. Looking at the empty cellar, the size of a bed, he did not let others down, and he stroked the earth wall and searched inch by himself.

Soon, he realized that the soil under his feet was softer than elsewhere, so he immediately asked someone to come down from above, bringing a shovel or shovel or something.

The entrance of the cellar was surrounded by yamen runners, and the villagers could not see the situation inside. When they heard the headmaster wanted to shovel, they knew what it was for. They looked at the Zeng family and his son for a moment and became particularly disgusted.

Good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles away. They are all from the same village. Once the Zeng family’s mother and son’s charge of burglary, their reputation in the entire village will be ruined.

However, the Zeng family and his son didn't care about their eyes and stared at the cellar. They couldn't figure out that there was a big living person hidden underneath. Why did these people have no reaction and even need to shovel and shovel? Could it be that the naughty man ran away?

No, it is impossible. The stone they pressed up was fifty or sixty kilograms, and there was no ladder below. The little girl couldn't reach the stone door at all, let alone the stone door was pushed open from below.

What's going on? The mother and son were completely confused...

Regardless of the confusion between the two of them not long, with an excited "found" coming from below, the captain climbed up first, holding two exquisite small square boxes that were only the size of a palm in his arms.

In front of everyone, he carefully placed the two square boxes on the broken table and opened them one by one.

Others subconsciously surrounded them, trying to see what kind of treasure it was, which made the government cause such a big battle. When they saw the night pearl and the imperial green jade portrait in the small square box, they couldn't help but open their mouths.

Even if you don’t know what treasure this is, you can see how special they are just looking at their appearance, which makes them dare not even think about reaching out and touching them.

"Bah, what's wrong with stealing? Stealing these two treasures!" Seeing the Zeng family's mother and son with a confused look on their faces, the captain felt that these two were too capable of pretending, and spat heavily: "The evidence and physical evidence are there, I'll see how you can argue!"

Last time the Li family went to the Qin family to make trouble and steal, these two treasures worth a thousand gold appeared in the court as physical evidence. He was fortunate to see them once, so he must be the things that the Qin family lost this time. He even imagined that this greedy mother and son knew from the last Li family burglary case that the Qin family had these two treasures, so he found an opportunity to sneak into the Qin family and stole the things.

Confirm that the Night Pearl and the Jade Portrait were not damaged, the captain carefully gathered the treasures and silver coins together, and said to the yamen runners: "Let's go back and report to the adults!"

...

At this time, Hu Qingqing, who was rescued, was taken to the inn.

Seeing the relatives in the room, she could no longer control her emotions, and hugged Qin Guihua who was excited to meet her, crying loudly: "Mom, mom, I thought, I thought I would never see you again, wuwu—"

Qin Guihua also burst into tears, but raised her hand and patted her daughter on the back several times: "Let you run, let you run, let you run, let's see if you dare to run!"

Hu Qingqing seemed to not feel the pain, and she cried even harder: "I won't run away, I won't run away again, wuwu--"

"Sister, sister, if you run away, just take me with you. I don't want to look for you everywhere like a headless fly!" Liu Jin cried and rushed over and hugged her tightly, his face covered with tears and snot.

These days, he has no less sadness and anxiety than Qin Guihua. He even thought that if he couldn't find his sister, he would run away from home and search for him until he found the person back.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Looking at Hu Qingqing's younger brother who had lost weight and looked increasingly thin, the guilt and regret in her heart swept over again, crying so hard that she couldn't help herself.

Looking at this scene, several women empathized with each other and turned their heads to wipe the corners of their eyes. If their children were kidnapped and almost pulled to exchange for their brides, they would have felt as heartbroken as a knife.

The strange feeling of Hu Qingqing's previous run away from home and causing everyone tossing and turning the crowd over was also dissipated after witnessing this scene.

Others couldn't help but turn red, especially Qin Xiaoxiao. She had not eaten well and had not had good sleep these days. Now that she saw her cousin returning safely, she finally put down the big stone pressing on her heart, but she wanted her aunt to hit her a few more times to make her have a good memory.

When the three of them cried, they began to discuss what happened next.

"The crime of burglary is much less than the two serious crimes of abducting others and abducting a good daughter. As long as the Zeng family's mother and son are not stupid, they will definitely admit the crime of burglary." Qin Xiaoxiao said lightly, not feeling that there is anything wrong with framed the Zeng family's mother and son.

If it weren't for Hu Qingqing's reputation, she wouldn't have made them so cheap, and they would have paid the corresponding price for what they did.

"Enough, they will suffer the twelve years of prison." Lin Qiuniang secretly wrapped her daughter's hand, not wanting her to take revenge on the Zeng family and her son to the end, worried that doing so would damage her blessings.

If so, she would never want her daughter to be involved in these bad things in her life.
