After rebirth, I became the villain’s sister-in-law Bai Yueguang

Chapter 219 Arresting people

The corpses of the gangsters piled up in mountains.

Everyone discussed that they wanted to find a pit and bury it directly, or burn it on fire.

However, at this moment, the government servants and officers and soldiers arrived.

"You killed all these people!?"

The yamen officer looked around and asked in surprise.

Zhao Liang immediately stood up and replied: "Sir, these gangsters came to our village yesterday. You see, their swords are all over the ground. We are not allowed to fight back in order to protect our families."

The yamen servant was shocked.

This was the only village where not a single villager died during their journey, but a mountain of bandits died.

There were no mournful cries, no hell-like scenes, and no villagers' houses burned down by fire.

It is simply the most intact village so far.

"Your village is quite impressive. Is there any property damage?"

"Sir, all our pigs are dead——"

"Sir, our chickens and ducks have also been slaughtered by these beasts! The quilts, clothes, cabinets and tables at home have been destroyed by them. Oh, sir, you have to make decisions for us ordinary people..."

Yamen: Oh, the gangster’s body is lying here, how can he still make the decision?

I wanted to finish the registration quickly and rush to the next village, but suddenly a small soldier sprinted in front of me.

After Fu'er said a few words to the leading yamen servant, the yamen servant's expression changed slightly.

"Seriously...? But this..."

The soldier whispered: "Our adults have said that this village is so weird. There are no injured people, but the gangsters are dead everywhere. It must be investigated strictly!"

The yamen officer hesitated and said, "Okay."

Zhao Liang and others only heard a few words here and there, but they already had a premonition that something was not going to happen.

Wen Chaoyan naturally listened to every word without missing a word.

He stood aside, a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were instantly filled with cold light and coldness.

Interesting.

With just a wave from the government officer, a group of fifty officers and soldiers instantly surrounded all the villagers present, including Wen Chaoyan.

Yamen: "Tell me, who killed them all?"

The villagers looked at each other.

"This... Sir, may I ask, have we committed any crime?"

The officer said coldly: "These gangsters are gangsters. It is wrong for them to burn, kill and loot. But now that they have been captured, they will also be punished by our Daliang Wangfa."

"However, all human lives are equal, and the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law. You have also killed so many gangsters, so naturally you must pay corresponding legal punishment!"

When the villagers heard this, they thought, "Is this okay?"

There is a royal law, but there is no heavenly law!

Zhao Liang and others immediately panicked and shouted: "Sir, what an injustice! These gangsters are coming to burn down our home and kill our wives, children, and mothers. Do we still want to surrender and let them slaughter us?"

"Sir, is it wrong for us to kill these gangsters?"

"Sir, what's going on here? Are we, the victimized people, here to be tried now?"

"Sir, the law does not punish everyone. We are also trying to protect ourselves and our families..."

Zhao Liang took advantage of the chaos and pushed forward, but no one pushed Wen Chaoyan out.

Seeing the chaotic situation, the officer immediately drew his knife and shouted: "Everyone, be quiet!"

After saying this, all the officers and soldiers followed suit and drew their knives to demonstrate.

Zhao Liang and others became quiet again.

Yamen: "If we don't recruit, I will take all of you back! Someone -"

At this moment, Wen Chaoyan stood up straight from the crowd.

"Wait a minute."

"I've killed everyone. If you want to arrest me, just arrest me!"

He walked out slowly.

I saw that he was tall and full of murderous aura.

Looking at the other men, although some are indeed tall and strong, at first glance they are just farm men, and they probably can't even use a knife.

When the government officials and others saw Wen Chaoyan standing up, they did not doubt that he was the one who killed these gangsters.

But he was still a little shocked: "You mean, these thirty-odd people were killed by you alone? How is this possible!?" Wen Chaoyan sneered: "The gangsters tortured civilians, damaged their property and their lives. Without officers and soldiers to protect them, we will wait. I had no choice but to fight back when I was forced to do so, just to defend myself and protect the lives of my family, and now I am actually guilty."

"If I can even conclude such ridiculous things, why can't I just kill these beasts by myself?"

The officer immediately said angrily: "You...!"

Zhao Liang and others behind him couldn't bear to see Wen Chaoyan take responsibility for his righteousness, so they immediately followed him.

"Sir! He is not the only one responsible. Since you want to arrest us, just arrest us all!"

"Yes, sir, we are all just trying to protect our families, sir. Should we really wait to die?"

"grown ups……"

Just as Zhao Liang and the others were crying, the rest of the people in the two secret rooms had already heard the sound and ran out.

I saw villagers on both sides, old and young, old and young, all of them crowded together in a dark place.

"Sir, we were wronged!"

"Sir, we are innocent..."

"Sir, please let us go!"

"Sir, we are also being forced, sir—"

The Yamen servant was also really moved.

This was the village with the most living people he saw along the way.

If we kill these gangsters and save so many civilians, why not?

but……

He also has orders that he cannot disobey!

"Everyone stand back!"

"Come forward again and kill without mercy!"

The officers and soldiers were tired of the pushing and shoving, so they all drew their knives, turned around and waved them at the threatening and crying villagers.

In an instant, all the cries were suppressed.

But there were still sounds of crying from the crowd.

"There is no justice..."

"Mr. Wen Dalang..."

The officer stepped forward, took out the heavy shackles, and quickly put them on Wen Chaoyan.

Just as he was about to be taken away, Jiang Wancheng's shouting came from the distance.

"Etc., etc--"

"Brother! Woohoo, brother——"

"Brother! Brother--"

All the villagers looked at the three Jiang Wancheng siblings who were stumbling, the older one supporting each other, and the younger one running wildly with expressions of sympathy and intolerance.

When they ran up to them, the officers and soldiers used big swords to force them back instantly.

"Get out!"

The loud sound and the flashing sword did not frighten the three of them.

Jiang Wancheng's face was full of stubbornness and anger: "Why should we arrest people!? Our brother killed those gangsters to eliminate harm for the people and was a hero who protected our entire village. You can't arrest him!"

Jiang Wancheng's angry shout instantly awakened all the villagers.

"That's right, why are you arresting people!?"

"Our Mr. Wen Dalang is a great hero who eliminates harm for the people. He is not guilty!"

"Hurry up and let them go, let us Da Langjun go!!"

"Sir, please open your eyes and take a good look. We are all alive and our house has not been burned down. It is all thanks to this great man. He is a great hero and should not be treated like this-"

The villagers crowded forward again, and chaos broke out again in an instant.

When the officers and soldiers saw this, in order to suppress and show off their power, they all stopped being polite and raised their swords to strike at the people in front of them.

"stop--"

Wen Chaoyan shouted loudly and was about to step forward, but was held tightly by the government officials and officers and soldiers behind him.

And in an instant, countless villagers were actually deliberately scratched by the swords in the hands of the officers and soldiers.

Jiang Wancheng protected Wen Erlang and Sister Ya. Zhao Qinglang also reached out to block her in an instant. He injured his arm, but he also protected Jiang Wancheng and the other three.
