Chapter 124 Hand over the person
"It's you! I just hit my wife a few days ago, and you were about to do it. Many people saw it. I came to the town to buy something yesterday, and you beat me." Zhang Da said, and shouted behind him, "Bitch, come out and tell me, was she the one who hit me?"
Wu Daya was pushed and shoved. She stood up, not daring to raise her head, and said, "Yes, she was the one who hit me."
Tang Xu remembered, wasn't this the couple she met when she and Tang Qing went shopping? She helped to say a few words at the time, but she didn't expect that someone would come to her door to slander them. But why did they do this? To extort money? They made such a big fuss, how much money were they going to get?
"I've heard of the mayor's wife's reputation. She loves to meddle in other people's family affairs, uphold so-called justice for women, and look down on men. In order to gain a good reputation, the mayor's wife beats people whenever she wants. She even brought thugs with her to Xiaoxi Village, causing panic among the people. I'll wait for the mayor to come and ask him how he disciplined his wife."
I can tell that this is not only aimed at me, but also at Du Yun. Tang Xu sneered and was about to speak when the head of Banshan Village said, "I heard that the mayor's wife broke up many happy families, locked people in her kindergarten, and used the children to force these poor women to work for her for free."
As expected, they came prepared. Tang Xu was no longer panicked when he heard this. He could tell if those women were willing by just calling them out and asking them. He didn't even need to ask. Just by looking at their condition, anyone with eyes would not say that she was being harsh.
After the village chief finished speaking, several people suddenly emerged from the crowd. They were all familiar faces, including Wang Xiaoyu's husband Zhang Daniu, Wang Chunhua's husband Zhao Dagou, and a few others whom he did not know. But since there were so many people, they must be the husbands of the poor women in the garden.
The people in Banshan Village could not possibly know these people. The women in the garden looked completely different from when they first arrived, as if they were different people. Moreover, they seldom went out on weekdays, either working or playing with their children in the kindergarten.
There must be a mastermind behind Banshan Village. Who is it? His goal is not only for himself, he also wants to destroy the kindergarten and even drag Du Yun into the water. His goal is not small.
"seriously?"
"impossible?"
"I've never heard Aunt Feng say that."
"I told you there were a lot of poor women and children in there. Could this be it?"
"Are they really locking people up to make them work for them? These women are so pitiful."
"I can't tell. You can only know a person's face but not his heart."
"I don't believe it! I see those children and women on the second floor every day, and they all have a good life! I've never seen Principal Tang scold or beat anyone! You're eating the kindergarten's food for free!" The girl who used to squat at mealtime to 'beg' for food stood up with her hands on her hips. She had a clear voice and spoke loudly like jumping beans, which was pleasant and cute.
"It's not like I didn't pay for my meal..."
“What can you buy with that money???” Nan Weiwei retorted loudly, and the voices of the group were suppressed by her alone.
Good girl, Tang Xu secretly gave her a thumbs up.
"Don't talk nonsense, where's Xingzi!" Wu Tong walked up to Tang Xu and said, "Hand over my wife!"
"Where's Wang Chunhua?"
"Where's Zhang Miao?"
"Hand the people over!"
"Hand it over!"
A group of people shouted in unison: "Hand him over! Hand him over!"
"What are you going to do?" Du Yun finally arrived. Boshan pushed through the crowd and let his young master stand in the front.
"The mayor is here!"
"Mayor! These people are causing trouble! They are armed! Look! Arrest them!" Nan Weiwei shouted, but her mother covered her mouth and dragged her to the back. "Little ancestor, shut up! You really don't know your place! You just have a loud voice!"
Du Yun looked at Tang Xu, "What do these people want to do?"
"Anyway, they had no good intentions. They carried a person here and said I beat him up. Then another group of people came to me and asked for my wife." Tang Xu explained briefly.
"Does the person who was beaten have any evidence? What time was it? Which street was he beaten on? Are there any witnesses?" Du Yun first looked at the only injured person at the scene.
The mayor was also a big shot in the eyes of these people. Zhang Da was a little scared and lowered his voice. "My wife and I are witnesses. Isn't this enough?"
"Greetings, mayor." The mayor of Banshan Village saluted without arrogance or servility, and raised his head and asked, "Mayor, do you know the evil deeds that your wife has done?"
"A bad thing? One, there is no witness, and two, we can't tell the time and place. It's just a one-sided story?" Du Yun was followed by the only two yamen runners in the town. Ordinary people would start to feel uneasy when they saw this official uniform.
The mayor of Banshan Village was indifferent. He seemed very confident. "The mayor wants to protect your wife?"
Du Yun's face was calm. "If it was really her, how about I personally send her to the county government? You are avoiding talking about the details of the beating, are you feeling guilty?"
"Zhang Da, you say." The chief of Banshan Village looked at Zhang Da.
"Yes, it was yesterday at 9:00 p.m. Which street? I, I don't come here often, so I don't know." Zhang Da lowered his head.
Tang Xu stared at the woman next to Zhang Da. He had spoken up for her that day, but he didn't expect her to turn around and slander him.
"My wife didn't leave the house the whole day yesterday, and the neighbors can all testify to that." Du Yun said, "If you say you don't know which street it is, you can take us there and ask the residents around to see if they have seen my wife."
"Everyone around here is familiar to you, and you are the mayor. Even if you went out, you would have to say that you did not go out." said the chief of Banshan Village.
Tang Xu laughed angrily, "You are making a fuss. The only witness you have is his wife. How come your close relatives can testify but my neighbor can't? You can always find excuses to accuse someone of something. Since we can't make a clear argument, let's go to the county town and talk it out with the county magistrate!"
"Then how should these mayors' wives explain?" The village chief of Banshan Village pointed at Zhao Dagou and the others.
"What do you want to explain?" Tang Xu smiled contemptuously, "Explain why a living person in their family ran away? Explain why they beat and abused their wives and children?"
"Who are these people?" Du Yun asked.
"My wife and children are here. I'm here to take them back." said Zhao Dagou.
"Okay, I'll go call them out and see if they're willing." Tang Xu said, and then turned and went into the kindergarten. There was a lot of noise outside, and some teachers had already noticed it. As soon as Tang Xu entered, he was surrounded and asked about the situation.
"It's okay. Don't take the children to the front. Go to the training ground in the back for outdoor activities." Tang Xu didn't explain too much to them. He called Xingzi, Wang Chunhua and others to go to the door.
When they appeared, the people who came to ask for people almost didn't recognize them. Is this still the same skinny person with a miserable face?
When Xingzi first left home, she was in a state of panic, always feeling as if she would be found and taken back at any time. After nearly a year of peaceful days, and practicing martial arts with the children, her mood was no longer the same as before. She looked at the man calmly and found that he was not as tall and strong as before, and she was no longer panicked.
"Apricot?" Wu Tong asked hesitantly.
