MTL - You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!-Chapter 112
Chapter 112
“What are you going to do?”
Seeing this group of people appear, the man suddenly became vigilant.
Zhou Ping stood nearby. He was not shackled at this time. Apparently, one of them knew how to unlock the door and took off the shackles directly.
"Your name is Wu Zhang, right? We asked you to join us before, but you refused?" Zhou Ping asked rhetorically.
“I will not collude with you!”
On the one hand, he didn’t want to do this, after all, this kind of behavior was inconsistent with his ideas. On the other hand, he felt that doing so would be discovered sooner or later, and the consequences would be very serious. He didn’t want to harm his wife and daughter because of such a thing.
So, he rejected Zhou Ping.
Unexpectedly, they came to the door again.
When Zhou Ping heard what he said, he sneered, "Really? Then hand over what you stole from us."
“Nonsense, when did I steal your things?” Wu Zhang was a little angry.
Zhou Ping snorted coldly and pointed at the crab in his arms, "No, that's it!"
Obviously, they were interested in the crabs caught by Wu Zhang.
They also thought about catching fish, but because of the cold weather, they did not see any fish and they did not want to go into the water to catch fish.
Unexpectedly, they were moved when they saw Wu Zhang catching a lot of crabs in the water. They had never seen these crabs before.
But now, it is a problem to have enough to eat. How can I dislike it? After all, I haven’t eaten meat for a long time.
“Fart!” Wu Zhang was immediately angry. These were the crabs he had worked so hard to catch. In order to provide nutrition for his wife and daughter, he even almost lost his legs from freezing.
Now that Zhou Ping and the others are telling lies, how can he not be angry?
“I’d like to ask again, hand over the stolen things, otherwise we won’t be polite.”
As Zhou Ping said, the others quickly separated and surrounded Wu Zhang.
Wu Zhangdun was naturally unable to hand over the crabs. Seeing their actions, he turned around and ran away.
“Want to run!”
Zhou Ping and others had been prepared for a long time. When they saw the man trying to run away, the men in ambush nearby rushed out immediately and knocked Wu Zhang to the ground.
“Help!”
Wu Zhang reacted quickly, knowing that he was no match for these people, and quickly shouted loudly, trying to attract the attention of others.
“Damn it!”
"Shut up!"
Zhou Ping and others changed their expressions, and quickly picked up the tree sticks on the ground and threw them at Wu Zhang, trying to shut him up.
But Wu Zhang reacted quickly. He covered the clothes in front of him, turned over to avoid such a blow, and continued to shout.
Zhou Ping and others did not expect that the man was so nimble and could avoid being attacked by him. When they wanted to continue the attack, they heard rustling in the woods, and it was obvious that someone was coming.
“Stop, what are you doing!”
Soon, everyone saw several government officials running out of the woods. When they saw Zhou Ping and others, the government officials took out their weapons and pointed them at them.
“Put down the stick, or you won’t blame us for being rude!”
The yamen servant shouted to Zhou Ping and others, and the man took the opportunity to slip away from Zhou Ping and others and came to the yamen servant.
“Help, they want to kill someone!”
The yamen officer's expression suddenly changed when he heard this. He also recognized Zhou Ping, and remembered that Zhou Ping was clearly in shackles for killing people. Why is he no longer in chains now?
So he shouted angrily, "Put down the stick, squat on the ground, and don't move!"
Zhou Ping and others looked at each other. The others had ruthless expressions in their eyes. Zhou Ping shook his head slightly. As long as they didn't mess around, Xu Tian would not kill them.
Soon, they put down their weapons and squatted on the ground, and the government officer had already sent people to find Xu Tian.
When Xu Tian arrived, he found a group of people **** and squatting on the ground, with government officials watching eagerly.
"what happened?"
The yamen servant looked at Wu Zhang and asked him to explain. Wu Zhang naturally told what happened like pouring beans, and then asked Xu Tian to make the decision.
Xu Tian was deeply moved when he heard that Wu Zhang stayed in the freezing water for more than an hour just to supplement nutrition for his wife and daughter.
After hearing about the behavior of Zhou Ping and others, he was furious and rushed to them angrily.
“I have spared you once, but not only did you not repent, but...”
Anger, regret, disappointment, all kinds of emotions flooded Xu Tian's heart.
“You are very good!”
Xu Tian gritted his teeth and said, with anger welling up in his heart. He originally wanted to give Zhou Ping a chance to change his ways, but who knew that not only did he not change his ways, but he even got worse.
The idea of severely punishing Zhou Ping suddenly emerged in his mind.
“Captain Xu, please spare your life!”
Seeing this, Zhou Ping and others knelt down one after another, crying and begging for mercy, "We just lost our minds for a moment, please give us one more time, and we will definitely not do it again."
“Just give us another chance. We have no choice. We don’t have enough to eat at all. Winter is coming and there is nothing to eat in the wild. That’s why we came up with this strategy. We are also helpless..."
Every word from you to me, everyone's words, made everyone feel sad, and the anger in Xu Tian's heart suddenly felt like a basin of cold water was poured on him.
He was silent. Zhou Ping was right. It was impossible for them to be fully satisfied with the little food they had.
The problem is that he wants to feed everyone, but the key is that this is the only food. If they are allowed to eat freely, they will not be able to survive to the next county. I am afraid that these people will have no food to eat halfway.
By then, I am afraid that most of these people will starve to death. Therefore, having something to eat is much better than starving to death.
Thinking about it this way, Zhou Ping and others were indeed helpless...but...Xu Tian was still a little angry.
“Tie them up and keep them under strict supervision!”
In the end, Xu Tian still did not order the killing. After all, although he was the captain of the Yamen, he did not have the right to execute prisoners at will.
Unless the prisoner insists on escaping, he can only be killed.
"Captain Xu, you have to make the decision for us..."
At this time, some prisoners appeared not far away, apparently they had heard the noise and ran over.
After seeing Zhou Ping and others being arrested, those people seemed to have found someone to talk to and complained to Xu Tian.
These people also did not want to associate with Zhou Ping. Although they were exiled, in fact, most of them were slaves and so on, and they were just implicated.
Xu Qian was trembling all over after hearing that Zhou Ping and others had done so many bad things behind their backs.
But back to that sentence, Zhou Ping and the others changed their clothes and went to fetch food, just because they wanted to eat more food. It was not illegal. The only thing wrong was that they used coercion and inducement to get others to join them.
Moreover, after others have eaten for the second time, a certain amount of interest will be charged, so half of the meal must be divided.
"Why!"
Zhou Ping sighed and asked the government officials to guard Zhou Ping and others. Finally, he went to Mr. Chen to find a solution.
Mr. Chen was silent for a moment, turned to stare at Xu Tian, and said seriously, "So, do you want me to be a good person or a bad person?"
Xu Tian was stunned and didn't understand what Mr. Chen meant.
