The next day.

When Ye Zhen walked out of the back room sleepily and saw Xie Yunshu and Lin Bin sitting on opposite sides of the wedding bed in the outer room, having nothing to do with each other, she realized what happened last night belatedly.

By the way, there are four brick thieves imprisoned in my house!

Glancing at Xie Yunshu, who was leaning against the bed and sitting with his eyes closed, Ye Zhen bit her lips and asked in a low voice:

"Are you awake?"

Before Xie Yunshu made any move, Lin Bin, who was sitting cross-legged at the end of the bed, opened his eyes first and looked at her with a clear expression.

Since the four brick thieves were imprisoned in the small woodshed, the two of them almost stayed up for the rest of the night, each dividing a space on the bed to rest.

As martial arts practitioners, the two of them had very keen senses. They just closed their eyes to rest and paid attention to observe the information from the outside world.

Ye Zhen didn't know this. She thought that people with strong martial arts skills like Lin Bin were sleeping while meditating, and she smiled apologetically at him.

"You should be busy first. Those people will treat others more and then make a decision."

At this time Xie Yunshu also opened his eyes. His leg was injured, so he could not meditate like Lin Bin.

After listening to his words, Ye Zhen nodded and immediately went to wash up.

Maybe it was because she made a fuss late yesterday that she got up later than usual today.

As soon as the porridge was stewed on the stove, Ye Zhen heard a knock on the door. The person who delivered eels and snails today had arrived.

She quickly opened the door, welcomed people into the yard, and started her daily morning routine.

There were quite a few people here today, about five or six, all of whom were women. They started chatting as soon as they walked in.

The chirping sound woke some of the sleeping people and reminded them of their situation.

"Help! Let us out!"

Just as Ye Zhen and other women were settling the results of today's battle, a shrill voice suddenly sounded from a corner of the yard, and it continued uninterrupted.

Everyone looked at each other in shock, not knowing what happened.

The women had no choice but to turn their eyes to Ye Zhen, with doubts in their eyes, but no one was hostile to her because of these screams.

After realizing who made the sound, Ye Zhen was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

If she had known earlier, she would have asked Lin Bin to silence these brick thieves!

This early in the morning, he howled several times, as if he had committed some kind of murder and arson.

"This is......"

As soon as she opened her mouth to explain to the people in front of her, a cold voice came from behind.

"Last night, a few brick thieves were determined to steal our green bricks again, but we caught them on the spot! Since it was late at night, we locked them in the woodshed. I guess they must have woken up."

Ye Zhen looked back and saw that it was Xie Yunshu who was speaking!

Although his face was still a little unnatural at this time, it was much better than before when he was facing a group of women in a panic.

Behind him was the taciturn Lin Bin. Now that his wounds are better, he often goes out for walks.

I have to say that Lin Bin doesn’t have Xie Yunshu’s social anxiety problem. Look how natural he looks when he goes out for a walk!

After silently complaining in her heart, Ye Zhen turned around, nodded towards the women, and agreed with Xie Yunshu's words.

The news that the green bricks were stolen spread throughout the village yesterday, and everyone was still discussing how to find the thief and vent their anger on Ye Zhen's family!

Unexpectedly, the other party caught them today. It is the nature of women to gossip, so they took the initiative to interrogate the thieves.

Ye Zhen had no objection to this point, and Lin Bin did exactly what she wanted.

As for Xie Yunshu, even if he had opinions, he could only avoid them in front of the angry women.

As a result, a group of people followed Ye Zhen's footsteps and headed towards the small woodshed.

It was said to be a small woodshed, but it was actually a very cramped utility room. The space inside could barely accommodate four sitting thieves.

The door is even pitifully small and can only accommodate one person entering or exiting.

Seeing this, Ye Zhen quickly signaled Lin Bin to escort everyone out.

After receiving her instructions, Lin Bin calmly picked up a man with one hand and threw him into the yard.

The four relatively strong men did not dare to express their anger. They had quickly shut up when they saw Lin Bin.

The place where they were kicked by the opponent last night is still aching. They are not desperadoes and cherish their lives very much.

"Are these the brick thieves? Why do I always feel familiar?"

"These people are definitely not from our village! Interrogate them carefully! Let them explain who gave the instructions!"

"Yes! How come this person comes all the way to our village to steal things? There must be something fishy about this!"

When they saw a few depressed brick thieves, the women expressed their opinions one after another, but their vicious eyes betrayed their feelings towards these people.

Not only that, some people went out and reported the incident to other villagers.

When they saw that they were surrounded by women, those people had other thoughts and denied their crimes.

"You are slandering! When did we steal bricks?"

The one who yelled the most fiercely was naturally the big guy in the lead. His brain was more flexible than the others, so he could assume the leading position.

But even if he refused to admit it, several women who were watching did not believe what he said, and even started to scold him with their hands on their hips.

Seeing the fierce quarrel between the two parties, Ye Zhen smiled helplessly, unable to say anything.

It was also thanks to the fact that the thieves had their hands and feet tied, otherwise they would have broken through the crowd and escaped at this time.

The more they scolded, the more panicked the brick thieves became, because they found that there were more and more people around them.

Now there were no longer just a few women who could only talk. Men with various farm tools gradually appeared in their hands. They looked at him eagerly, as if they would come up to give him a blow at the next moment.

When the two sides were quarreling fiercely, Ye Zhen rubbed her eyebrows and looked at Lin Bin for help.

"Can you tell them to shut up? It's too noisy!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the thieves sitting on the ground screamed and had no energy to curse anymore.

No one even saw Lin Bin's movements clearly. They only noticed that a few people on the ground had a slap mark on their faces.

The crisp sound made the villagers stunned for a moment. Some of them were former military attachés and generals and had some skills.

In comparison with Lin Bin, they could only feel ashamed.

The burning pain made several of the most violent thieves realize their situation, and they quickly kept silent in aggrieved tone, not daring to raise their heads.

"Mrs. Xie, these thieves are so shameless! If they are not punished properly, I am afraid they will dare to come again!"

"Yes, yes! We have to teach them a lesson, otherwise they will think our village is easy to bully!"

"I propose to use one of their arms!"

Lin Bin's actions did not arouse the resentment of the villagers. Instead, they became more excited and proposed to teach these brick thieves a lesson.

This village was gathered together by many Han Chinese who were exiled here. Naturally, it is not like other local villages that have a village chief or the like.

We all live in harmony and equality. In the past, we have encountered provocations from people from other villages, and they have always responded harshly.

Although the villagers have no bad intentions and are very sincere and enthusiastic, after all, they are all people who have been in the officialdom for many years and still have some temperaments.

Listening to the people around her who often had disabled arms or legs, the expression on Ye Zhen's face became a little stiff.

The brick thieves lying on the ground felt even colder and couldn't help but start begging for mercy.

"Masters, have mercy on me! This Wang Hu is the one who persuaded me to come here. I don't want to steal bricks either. Please let me go!"

The first person to beg for mercy was naturally the thin man who had been frightened to the point of peeing last night.

I saw him crying and kowtowing to everyone, begging for mercy, with mucus flowing from his face. It was really hateful and pitiful.

"Fuck! You bastard!"

Wang Hu's face turned dark after being betrayed, and he wanted to kick the man, but he was restrained by the rope tied to his body.

Now that things have come to this, he is naturally panicked.

Wang Hu was not a very vicious person. At most, he had only done things like stealing and robbing. All his courage was used up when he was scolding everyone.

Now when I heard people talking about wanting to destroy my hands and feet, I couldn't help but feel cold in my heart, so I just broke the jar and confessed my behavior.

"I did steal the brick! But I was also instigated by others! It was all instigated by my cousin Wang Mazi!"

When the incident was revealed and he suffered a disaster, Wang Hu simply kept doing nothing and dragged his cousin who had revealed the news to him into trouble too!

If the other party hadn't said there was a channel for him to sell the stolen goods, how could he have traveled so far to steal a few bricks?!

"Who is Wang Ermazi?"

Not only Ye Zhen's family, but also the villagers were confused about this issue and had no idea who this person was.

As for Wang Hu and others, some people have the impression that they recognize them as the little scoundrels who live in Xingnan Village and several other small villages nearby.

These scoundrels usually didn't have a good reputation in their respective villages. They once tried to take advantage of their villages, but they were beaten up and then disappeared without a trace.

This time, according to what the other party said, someone actually instigated it?

"Could it be someone sent by Song An?"

After thinking about it, Ye Zhen thought that she had not offended anyone, and it was only Song An who tried to block her before.

But Mrs. Wu had promised her before that she had already taught Song An a lesson and he would not dare to cause trouble for her again.

Then who is this Wang Ermazi?

For a while, the atmosphere gradually became a little quiet.

With such a fuss, time passed quickly, and the carriage from Wangyue Tower and the donkey team from the brick kiln had already arrived.

"Hey, what's so exciting?"

Seeing a group of villagers gathered in the yard, Manager Liu was stunned for a moment, then curiously approached them.

The villagers were still somewhat impressed by this village partner and took the initiative to make way for him.

Only after he entered the encirclement did he see the specific situation inside.

"This is?"

"Manager Liu?"

Seeing Manager Liu squeeze out of the crowd, Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then quickly explained:

"I'm sorry, something was delayed today."

She pointed at the four people on the ground, waved her hands helplessly, and explained the cause and effect of the matter.

After hearing what she said, Manager Liu looked at the thief in front of him out of curiosity.

He had never heard of Wang Er Mazi, so he really couldn't help him.

But he did have some suggestions for Ye Zhen on how to deal with these people.

"If you lynch them, it will inevitably attract public attention, and I'm afraid there will be hidden dangers in the future. It's better to do this. I have people I know well in the county government. I will sue them to the government and slap them with dozens of slaps. You can vent your anger."

, and there will be no hidden dangers left.”

Manager Liu knows the details of this village. Basically, everyone is a refugee, and no one will make decisions for them.

If you come forward yourself, you can save some trouble.
