80s Taoism

Wang Shuigen glanced at Luo Changjun, then lowered his head again.

"Ask you, didn't you hear me? Your sister was killed by you, and you are still such a fool!" Zhang Qigao went to pick up a bamboo branch, and slapped Wang Shuigen directly.

"Oh!" Wang Shuigen was left with a white gauze vest and only a pair of shorts underneath. Pulling the bamboo branch will not hurt the flesh and blood, but it is very painful. With one swipe, a red spider web was snatched from his body.

"Yes, yes, I'm from Banshan Village, Matouqiao." Seeing Zhang Qigao raising the bamboo branches again, Wang Shuigen said hastily.

"I thought you were tough, but I didn't expect you to be so cowardly when you beat down a bamboo branch. Later, County Magistrate Luo will ask you a question, and you should answer honestly. If you answer one less question or answer a wrong question, I will hit you with a bamboo branch," Zhang Qigao said.

"I'll answer, I'll answer." Wang Shuigen followed the bamboo branch in Zhang Qigao's hand with his eyeballs, for fear that the bamboo branch would hit him.

"Let me ask you, did you participate in the case of stealing cattle from Matou Bridge?" Luo Changjun asked.

"No. The case of stealing cattle has nothing to do with me!" Wang Shuigen hastily vetoed it.

"It seems that I asked the right person." Looking at Wang Shuigen's expression, Luo Changjun knew that even if Wang Shuigen was not responsible for the case of stealing cattle, he must know something.

"I don't know anything, it's useless if you ask me." Wang Shuigen panicked.

"Oh, it seems that you don't remember the feeling of being hit by bamboo branches. You bastard, you also stole the coffins of other people's sixty or seventy-year-olds! Your own sister was almost killed by you. You are a ball day, and you still talk hard to me." Zhang Qigao slapped left and right, several times in a row, causing Wang Shuigen to jump up in pain.

"Don't fight, don't fight. I say what I say." Wang Shuigen hurriedly begged for mercy, "The matter of stealing cattle is really none of my business. They are all foreigners, and I don't know any of them."

"You don't know any of them, how do you know they're outsiders?" Luo Changjun could tell that Wang Shuigen still wanted to push himself away.

"They all have foreign accents, and they seem to be from Shiqihe County, Wuxi City." In order to convince Luo Changjun, Wang Shuigen tried his best to make things as real as possible.

"It seems that you haven't understood the current situation. I'm not begging you, but you're begging me. If you expose the cow-stealing matter, I can guarantee that you won't go to jail. But if you don't cooperate, your theft this time is solid evidence. The cash alone is more than a thousand yuan, and there are some gold and silver in it, which are even more valuable. The total is probably worth tens of thousands of yuan. For the case, you are still committing the crime against the wind, and it might kill you." Luo Changjun was not in a hurry, and asked Zhang Qigao to go aside, and don't do anything yet.

The little fat monkey didn't know how to use the dog whistle, but he kept holding it and didn't throw it away.

"Fat Monkey, show me what you are holding in your hand!" Zhang Jiaohua's eyes were sharp, and he saw what the little Fat Monkey was holding at a glance. Zhang Jiaohua didn't see that Wang Shuigen used that small iron pipe, so naturally he didn't know what it was used for.

However, when the Diamond Mountain Leopard who had eaten the dog whistle saw it, it barked violently as if it had seen an enemy.

Woof, woof!

Zhang Jiaohua was a little confused, so, "Leopard, why are you crazy?"

Woof, woof!

The diamond mountain leopard still roared at the dog whistle in the little chubby monkey's hand. It's not like putting on a show at all.

Zhang Jiaohua seemed to have noticed something, he knew that the Diamond Mountain Leopard was definitely not barking indiscriminately, but something irritated it.

The little chubby monkey quickly hid the dog whistle behind its buttocks, as if worried that others would snatch its toys, it climbed up the tree and refused to come down no matter what.

"Little Fat Monkey, come down!" Zhang Jiaohua shouted.

But the little chubby monkey kept shaking his head, resolutely refusing to come down.

"I have a lot of peanuts and melon seeds here, I'll exchange them with you!" Zhang Jiaohua took out some melon seeds and melon seeds from his pocket, as well as a few candies.

The little chubby monkey was a little tempted at this point, and pointed to the dog whistle in his hand, and then pointed to the whistle in Zhang Jiaohua's hand, meaning that he wanted to change with Zhang Jiaohua.

"Okay, I'll change it with you." Zhang Jiaohua nodded.

The little chubby monkey still didn't dare to come down, but wrapped its tail around the branch, hung upside down on the branch, and then grabbed the small cloth pocket on its body with its paws and asked Zhang Jiaohua to put things in it.

Zhang Jiaohua put the melon seeds and peanut candy in his hand into the cloth pocket, and then the little fat monkey stuffed the dog whistle into Zhang Jiaohua's hand, then grabbed his own small cloth pocket and quickly climbed up.

woof! woof!

The Diamond Mountain Leopard kept barking at the dog whistle in Zhang Jiaohua's hand.

Zhang Jiaohua was very surprised, he kept watching the dog whistle, he couldn't understand why the Diamond Mountain Leopard hated this thing so much. After a closer look, I found that this thing looks like a whistle, but there is something wrong with the whistle hole. Shouldn't it be blowing?

Zhang Jiaohua wiped the dog whistle with his clothes, and was about to try it, but the Diamond Mountain Leopard jumped out and ran away quickly, apparently very afraid of the whistle. However, a few native dogs in the village are still wandering around.

Zhang Jiaohua blew, and those dogs immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, looking very painful.

"What's going on here?" Zhang Jiaohua was stunned.

"Beggar, where did you get that whistle in your hand?" Luo Changjun inadvertently saw the scene just now.

"The little chubby monkey picked it up and couldn't even blow it, but these dogs are so scared. I blew it, and they seemed to die." Zhang Jiaohua scratched his head.

"That thing seems to be a dog whistle. Where did the little fat monkey get it?" Luo Changjun had only heard of dog whistles.

"Little fat monkey, where did you get that thing?" Zhang Jiaohua asked the little fat monkey.

The little fat monkey pointed at Wang Shuigen and squeaked.

"Is it his?" Zhang Jiaohua asked.

The little fat monkey nodded quickly.

"That's right. This guy went to Uncle Jiwang's house to steal something yesterday, but he was not found. He must have used this thing to scare Uncle Jiwang's dog." Zhang Qigao also reacted.

Every household in the village has dogs. There is no dog whistle, and before entering the village, all the dogs in the village have to bark. But last night no one heard the dog bark because the thief had a dog whistle in his hand.

"I asked how those cattle thieves stole so many cows without anyone noticing, but no one found out. It turned out that there was such a thing. Wang Shuigen, can you still say that you didn't participate? Just for this thing, you can't clean it even if you jump into the Yellow River. I tell you, you Matouqiao Township lost a total of more than a dozen cows, and some villages stole no cow left. Matou Bridge!" Luo Changjun is not in a hurry now.

"You can't do that! I'm not the only one with a dog whistle. I really didn't do the cattle stealing." Wang Shuigen still denied it.

"Wang Shuigen, to be honest, you came to our Meizitang, did you come to scout?" Zhang Jiaohua asked loudly.

What Zhang Jiaohua said shocked all the people in Meizitang, yes, why did Wang Shuigen come to Meizitang with a dog whistle? Stealing money from Zhang Jiwang's family must be motivated by money. But what was his original purpose?

Buffaloes are the labor force for farmers to plow the fields! One buffalo is worth several labors. If there were no buffaloes, all the paddy fields would have to be dug, so it would take until the year of the monkey?

"Wang Shuigen, tell me! Did you come to our village to step on the spot?" Zhang Qigao rushed over and lashed at Wang Shuigen twice.

"No, no." Wang Shuigen called out to his mother in pain.

"Wang Shuigen, at this point, you still refuse to tell the truth? Do you really want to see me dead, are you willing?" Wang Fang actually struggled to come out of the room, opened her throat and roared loudly, then staggered and fell limply to the ground.

"Sister, don't worry! Let me tell you, I will tell you everything!" Wang Shuigen said.

"It's Yuan Changlin! Yuan Changlin originally wanted to lure me to steal cattle from them, because he knew I had a dog whistle. I made this dog whistle by accident when I was making a whistle. During the Chinese New Year the year before last, I went to steal bacon with Yuan Changlin. Later, because Yuan Changlin went to other places to steal things, he confessed to me, and I was imprisoned for a few months. Worried about the dog. He knew I had a dog whistle, so he wanted me to join the gang. Yuan Changlin was unreliable, and I refused to join their gang, so he paid 500 yuan and bought a dog whistle from me. I didn’t expect them to be so courageous and steal so many cattle at once. I was afraid that they would track me down in an accident, so I ran to Meizitang to hide for a few days.” Wang Shuigen could only honestly confess.

"Can Yuan Changlin steal so many cattle by himself?" Luo Changjun felt that Wang Shuigen hadn't told the truth.

"Of course he can't do it alone. I heard that there are a few more in the town. He even built a car, stole the cattle, and dragged them to other places overnight. Then he will find a way to send them to the big cities to slaughter and sell the meat." Wang Shuilin did not hide anything this time.

"Do you know who are the people in the town?" Luo Changjun asked.

Wang Shuigen shook his head, "I don't know those people, but one of them has a bald head and is very fat. Some of them seem to call him fat head."

"Fat head? Are you sure?" Luo Changjun has worked in Gezhuping Town for so many years, so he naturally knows who this person is.

"I'm sure, I've seen this person. When they came to the village that day, I saw it in the woods. That bald head was too conspicuous. I heard them call this person fat." Wang Shuigen knew that this situation was valuable, and now he just wanted to get rid of himself.

"Do you know anything else?" Luo Changjun asked.

"Recently, the rumors are tight. They stole the cattle and dare not go on the main road. The cattle stolen at Matou Bridge should not have been dragged out, and they must still be hidden in the mountains." Wang Shuigen revealed another very important information.

"Do you know the place?" Luo Changjun was excited. If those lost cattle could be found, it would be of great significance.

Wang Shuigen shook his head, "I don't know about that. I don't dare to follow them. These people are cruel. I came to Meizitang because I was afraid that they would silence them."
