Chapter 167: Killed Someone
When they approached the yard, they could hear noisy sounds coming from the yard, including crying, swearing, yelling, and the sound of sticks hitting the ground.
Those walking in front were wondering what on earth had happened in such a chaotic scene.
Captain Zhao and the yamen runners who were riding in front were even more confused. Normally, such big quarrels or fights would not happen in the village. They hoped that these people could behave themselves and not let the county lady see the fight as soon as she arrived.
A large group got off the car outside the yard, but the noisy noise did not attract the attention of people in the yard.
The Third Prince and Zheng Sisi looked at each other and stopped Captain Zhao from calling for help. They led everyone directly into the yard.
There was a sea of people crowding in the courtyard, holding hoes, sticks, shoulder poles and other tools in their hands. People outside could not see what was going on inside and could only stand on tiptoe or jump to look inside.
There were constant cries from the crowd: "God damn it! How could you be so cruel? Is there any justice in the world? You not only robbed my daughter but also beat her to death. How can I, an old woman, live?"
Hearing that someone had died, Zheng Sisi lost her temper and signaled Captain Zhao to come out and ask the crowd to make way. Captain Zhao still had a lot of prestige in this place, after all, the common people were afraid of officials.
Captain Zhao stepped forward and shouted, "What are you all doing here? Get out of the way."
The villagers behind looked back and saw Captain Zhao with a big knife hanging on his waist, standing in front of the crowd in a majestic manner. There were many people following him, both men and women.
The common people were all afraid of the officials, and at the same time they had found a backbone. Many villagers spoke to Captain Zhao about their affairs.
"Captain Zhao, you are here. The head of Fangzhuang raped a woman and beat her to death."
"Yes! Captain Zhao, you have to make the decision for us!"
"It's not the first or second time that Fang Zhuangtou has bullied us tenants. This time he was too inhumane and forcibly defiled a girl."
"Well, he even beat the girl's brother to death."
"........."
The villagers were still talking, and Captain Zhao raised his hand to stop them, saying, "Quickly move aside, we want to go in."
The villagers realized that they had forgotten to give way while talking, so they said to each other, "Make way, make way, let Captain Zhao go in."
The crowd made way for a small passage. Captain Zhao and the bailiffs walked in front, while the Third Prince and Zheng Sisi and a group of people walked behind. A few guards and coachmen were left outside to watch over the carriages and supplies.
When the group walked to the innermost part, they saw that the venue was divided into two sides. The villagers on the side where they were standing were holding knives, sticks, hoes, and carrying poles and glaring at the people on the opposite side.
On the opposite side were some servants holding swords and sticks, protecting several people dressed in silk behind them.
A man of about eighteen or nineteen was lying on a small piece of ground in the middle. His clothes were torn in many places and there was a big wound on his head, which was still bleeding.
A woman in her forties was hugging him and crying. She must have been injured as well, with several red handprints and scratches on her face.
A man in his forties next to him was also covered in injuries. He was dragging one leg and lying next to the young man, his face also in tears.
Zheng Sisi saw that someone was seriously injured and his face was pale. If the bleeding was not stopped immediately, his life would be in danger.
Zheng Sisi said to the third prince: "Sheng Zhen, I'll go to the car to get the hemostatic medicine, you control the situation."
After saying that, Zheng Sisi walked out. She had to get the medicines herself because all the medicines were in her space.
Fortunately, she had been injured last time, so she changed the packaging of the medicines, replacing the glass and plastic bottles with sealed porcelain bottles. Now it would not arouse suspicion if she took it out.
After a while, Zheng Sisi came back with a small bag in her hand.
