Chapter 178 Rumors Abound (3 more)
Li Hong arrived at the scene with a group of arresters, and quickly controlled the scene. Although the group of rice grabbers had already left, the slow-moving people who were encouraged later were not caught by the arresters. few.

In addition, there were many shop people around who saw this group of people at that time. After Li Hong inquired, someone would always say something useful, and it was not so difficult to arrest them.

It's just that it's a bit too much to keep them trapped here, and not let those who come to grab the rice be caught, and not let them leave!
"Master County, the situation was chaotic just now. The six people who went in before felt unfamiliar. They might not be from the town. It's getting late. There is still an old mother waiting for Cao Min to take care of him. Cao Min should go home too. .”

One man dared to speak up.

"You said it was unfamiliar? There were only six people on the other side, why didn't you go forward and stop it together? With so many of you, if you go together, can you make those six people run away?"

Li Hong was very upset.

There are so many rice shops on this street, but his family is the only one that has a problem. Not to mention people being injured, and the rice in the shop was robbed, how could he not be angry?Don't feel bad?

"Grandfather of the county, those people are all holding sticks in their hands. How dare the Caomin confront them head-on? Even the strong guys in the rice shop are not their opponents. The Caomin is just a scholar. How can they be their opponents? You Such a request, the grassroots really can't do it!"

The scholar selling calligraphy and painting immediately knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.

Li Hong didn't even look at him, still showing his official authority, "Since you all watched the show here just now, and no one stepped forward to help, then go back to the Yamen with me now. I want to interrogate each person, who can do it?" Provide useful information, whoever can go back!"

"Bring all these people back to me!" Li Hong waved his hand, and nearly [-] people were surrounded by the rushing arresters.

Chu Chu frowned, is this county magistrate an idiot?Haven't found the problem yet?
At this time, a sharp voice suddenly sounded from the crowd, "They are right. The county magistrate really embezzled the money that the court gave us for disaster relief. Otherwise, why would he want to arrest us all?"

Someone raised a head, and someone responded immediately.

"That's right! That's right! Everyone must not be caught by this dog officer, or they may be murdered!"

"Oh my god! If you are caught, you will die. Everyone, run for your life!"

Everyone cherished their lives. When people said this, the scene suddenly became chaotic. The group of people surrounded in the middle rushed forward and squeezed to the outside in order to save their lives. , It was also difficult to control the situation, and the scene suddenly became more and more chaotic.

Seeing this, Li Hong immediately called a policeman to come to him, "Go to the General's Mansion for help!"

"Yes!"

Chu Chu was pushed around by these people, and she took care of the old tea seller next to her to prevent him from being knocked down by these people.

Although the arresters are not as many as these people, but they are all powerful, of course it is impossible to let these people rush out, and they all have sabers hanging on their bodies. Dazzling light.

Immediately, someone in the crowd shouted, "The dog officer is going to kill someone! Run for your life!"

"Where are you going? Kill that dog officer! Otherwise, no one will escape!" A rough voice sounded, and the crowd became chaotic again.

Chu Chu saw that someone really rushed towards Li Hong, and then the police officers really moved their knives. When the crowd was surging, Chu Chu supported the old man with one hand, and the tip of her nose was full of blood. The knife stabbed a person in the stomach.

Chu Chu held back the turbulence in her stomach, and supported the old man's body so as not to let him fall down.

"Murder! The dog officer was greedy for disaster relief money, and killed people!" It was the sharp and harsh female voice at the beginning again. The blood stimulated everyone's nerves, and no one wanted to die like this.

The contradictions became more and more intensified.

Li Hong had already been supported by his master, and hid at the back. When he heard that someone wanted to kill him, he trembled with anger, and his heart was even more terrified, for fear that these people would really charge up.

"I have never received money from the imperial court for disaster relief. You can't slander me like this! If you dare to be presumptuous again, I will have to execute the law on the spot!"

No one paid any attention to what Li Hong said. Suddenly, a police officer was also tripped to the ground. Finally, there was a gap in the surrounding space, and everyone rushed towards the gap.

The leader was a middle-aged man, and the sharp knife of the policeman next to him stabbed at him directly. The man dodged to the side, but he dodged away, but the cold blade was coming towards Chu Chu.

Chu Chu couldn't react for a while, seeing her body was about to collide with the blade, suddenly someone beside her was forceful, the old man pulled her arm hard, pulling her to the side, even so, the blade still brushed past Chu Chu's arm.

A cut immediately appeared on her arm, and the blood flowed out directly along the place where the fabric was cut. Chu Chu held her arm with one hand to stop the blood from continuing to stay. Hong looked over.

"If you don't want to be a scapegoat, just stand there and don't move! If you want to die, you can rush forward, don't pull us to be backs! If you are smart, use your own brains. Don't listen to the wind and rain. If you are provoked by others, you will lose your life." !"

Chu Chu's voice was high-pitched and harsh, but not sharp. Everyone heard it, and they didn't feel uncomfortable because of the volume problem.

The scene became quiet in an instant. Everyone was not a fool. After being incited at first, the fear in their hearts prevailed. They acted instinctively and forgot to think. Much clearer.

These people didn't move, and the policemen just surrounded them. Although they were still holding sharp knives, no one took the initiative to attack these people, and the chaotic scene was calmed down like this.

Chu Chu stood at the forefront of all, she pressed the wound with one hand, but her eyes were fixed on Li Hong who was walking towards him.

"Grandfather of the county, when the rice shop was robbed, the grass people had been drinking tea at the tea stall opposite. The other party was six men holding wooden sticks. You shouldn't ask a woman like me to rush forward to protect your family." shop?"

Chu Chu's face darkened slightly, and her voice was not too loud, so that everyone here could hear it.

Li Hong's face tightened, although he knew that the chaos just now was all caused by his order to bring everyone back to the Yamen, but, being ridiculed in public like this, where is he going to put his face?
"Come here, take down this unscrupulous person! This person falsely accused me of embezzling disaster relief money, and just now encouraged these unscrupulous people to try to assassinate me. It is really audacious!"

Li Hong gave an order, but the police officers controlled Chu Chu.

Chu Chu laughed angrily, "Caomin has been pushed around by these people just now, without saying a word, when did your lord hear Caomin slander you? As for the instigation, if it wasn't Caomin who told everyone to stop, I'm afraid it's already over by now." Is there a river of blood?"

Her gentle eyes were extremely sharp, and she looked at Li Hong sarcastically, "If that's the case, Cao Min promises that within a short while, the county magistrate will steal the relief money, and the news of the murder and silence will spread throughout Yunshui Town!"

"At that time, what your lord has done today is to become angry and kill people. In addition, it has recently been rumored in the town that the government will recruit soldiers again. Maybe the town will really be in chaos. Do you think you can quell such turmoil with your own strength? ?”

Li Hong's heart trembled, and suddenly he felt a chill in his heart.

"Once Yunshui Town really breaks into chaos, who will benefit the most, I'm afraid you don't need to tell the grass-roots people, your lord will know, right?"

Chu Chu straightened her body, and looked at Li Hong with neither humble nor overbearing eyes, and she almost said that you, an idiot, didn't even notice this!

Li Hong lost his face even more. Being ridiculed in person, and in front of everyone, the face-saving Li Hong certainly couldn't swallow this breath, but, being reminded by her so much, he suddenly noticed that what happened this time was really not good. unusual.

The scene suddenly froze, Chu Chu and his party were still surrounded by these policemen, and the policemen were even more vigilant, ready to strike at any time, and they only listened to Li Hong's orders.

On the ground, the man who had just been stabbed was completely out of breath, and the surrounding area was stained red with blood, and the strong smell of blood made Chu Chu's stomach churn non-stop.

The two sides confronted each other, and Chu Chu stood upright with clear eyes and no fear.

Li Hong was full of anger and glared at her angrily, but he didn't dare to act recklessly.

At this moment, Zhang Ying arrived with the soldiers from the General's Mansion on horseback. Li Hong felt relieved for a moment, as he finally had a solution to the problem, and immediately greeted him with a smile.
