Shan Lei, the

village chief walked home without saying a word, thinking of a way to get the best of both worlds out of this matter.

The two yamen just said that Liu Tiezhu would be locked up for a few days. It sounded like he would only suffer from flesh and blood. It didn't look like he had committed a serious crime. However, only the old generation and the village chief knew that things weren't so bad. Simple.

More than 40 years ago, when the enemy was still in the future, there was someone in a county in the north who hated someone in the same village for robbing the girl he was talking about. In a fit of rage, the man set fire to the other side's two acres of wheat fields, and was arrested by the government. Ended up with a ransom and exile at the border.

And what the yamen said about being locked up for a few days was just to stabilize Liu Tiezhu. After all, Liu Tiezhu thought that what he had committed was not a big deal and that there was less resistance, and it was much easier for them to arrest people.

Moreover, what the yamen said was not a lie. The days in prison were only a few days, and when he was sentenced, he would naturally not live in prison.

How can the head of the village chief who has been dealing with the yamen for half his life be unclear?

He just didn't expect Liu Tiezhu to be so useless.

If it's all ruined.. The village chief held down the gradually spreading thoughts in his heart, and carefully calculated the words to defend himself in the yamen. Anyway, as long as he is fine, as long as the Xie family is still hanging around in the village, he can always find a chance.

As for Liu Tiezhu, he has never been upright and full of lies on weekdays. Even the people in the town know the name of Erpole, and the village chief admits that the government will not believe his words.

What's more, there is no evidence in Liu Tiezhu's hands to prove that he was indeed instigating it, so how can he help him?

The village chief's daughter-in-law was looking through the dried bamboo shoots in the yard. Seeing the gloomy face of the village chief, she asked, "What's the matter? The yamen gave you a look?"

"Don't talk." The village chief glared at his mother -in-law. At a glance, he turned and went into the house.

依旧是那个藏着银子的暗阁,村长毫不心疼地拿了足足二两银子出来,即便他这张嘴能把死的说成活的,可少不了要打点几分。

村长媳妇被瞪的有些气恼,又听见自家屋里的动静忙不跌的跑了进去,正好看见村长把白花花的银子往自己怀里揣,不由得深吸一口气,脸色迅速涨红,活像是有人剜了她的命根子似的。

"老不死的,你拿这么多银子干什么,过些日子孩子们都要回来,这是留给他们的。"

"滚开!"村长恶狠狠的将自家婆娘拽倒在炕边,嘴里喷出的唾沫溅到她脸上:"我快连命都没了,你还在心疼你的银子。我死了,谁给你挣这么多银子去?"

说完就随手扯下搭在竹竿上的衣服不管不顾的大步往出走,直到出了大门都没有回头看上一眼。

相比之下谢家的氛围就要好很多,叶远闲和傻子换上了新衣服,牵着大黑不紧不慢的走着,那副惬意的模样,不知道的人还以为他们要去踏青。

两人一马走的不慢,出了游落村不远就赶上了押送着刘铁柱的两个衙役。

刘铁柱被困了一晚上,又累又饿,身体的自然反应也没能解决,这会儿着实憋不住了只好求爷爷一般让两个衙役给他松了一只手上的绳子,好让他方便。
