Chapter 231: Father, Save Me
"By the way, I have one more thing to tell everyone."
The Li Zheng's voice suddenly became heavy. "The Huang family has been imprisoned, and Lord Cishi led the soldiers to raid the house and found several corpses. Now they have been transported to the county yamen. Families who have lost children can go and claim the corpses..."
Once these words were spoken, Guihua Shen and several families in the village who had lost children changed their expressions instantly.
"Corpse, corpses..."
Guihua Shen seemed to be greatly stimulated, her body swaying, and she said with difficulty: "Is, is there not a single survivor..."
At this time, Jiang Xiaoxiao and her mother happened to arrive, and seeing this scene, they couldn't help but sigh.
Last night they sneaked into the Huang family, searched the entire Huang family, and even found a place like the secret chamber, but they didn't find the missing children...
Originally they thought these missing children were hidden by the Huang family elsewhere, but they didn't expect they had already become corpses buried underground...
"Li Zheng Uncle, how, how were those corpses found?" A villager asked in confusion.
The Li Zheng shook his head and sighed: "I heard that Lord Cishi personally led the soldiers and dug three feet into the Huang Residence's backyard, digging out more than ten corpses of little girls in total..."
Everyone listened to this, their faces turned pale. This Huang family was truly not human. Besides the little girls from their Yuhe Village, there were so many innocent little girls who suffered such inhuman abuse...
"This Huang family is too hateful! More than ten lives, just abused to death by them like this, these people should all be thrown into prison, beaten with boards, and all beheaded!"
"Exactly! I think those who helped the Huang family abduct children should also be thrown into prison and let the County Magistrate give them a death sentence!"
Listening to the villagers' unanimous scolding, Li Family Old Man's originally pale face turned even paler.
The Huang family had an accident, and Li Shoude definitely couldn't run away.
Originally he was counting on the Huang family to get Li Shoude out, but now even the Huang family had been arrested, what should his son do?
Li Family Old Man almost wanted to hold his head and cry out in despair.
And just then, Sun Shi, who had been hiding in the crowd, suddenly rushed out, grabbed the Li Zheng, and asked eagerly: "Then what about my daughter? The Huang family is imprisoned, then how is my Feng'er? Was she implicated and imprisoned?"
The Li Zheng looked at Sun Shi, whose head injury hadn't fully healed. Since she exposed Li Shoude's evil deeds, she didn't dare to return to the Li family and had been living in a dilapidated thatched shed in the village.
He shook his head helplessly and sighed: "This matter... I can't say for sure. This time Lord Cishi sent troops to arrest everyone in the Huang Residence, waiting for everyone to be interrogated. Only if they have not committed any crimes can they leave safely..."
The Huang Residence was large, and excluding those concubines, servants, maids, and old women, there were over a hundred people.
Among these people, there must be innocent ones.
But there were also those who often followed the Huang family to do bad things, such as those servants who helped Huang Suntian abduct little girls; they definitely couldn't escape the disaster of prison.
By the time these people were all interrogated, it would take at least three to five days.
If Li Jinfeng had nothing to do with this matter, she could come out in three to five days.
Sun Shi listened to the Li Zheng's words, and her expression gradually became uncertain.
She wasn't sure if Li Jinfeng was involved in this matter, but Li Jinfeng was pregnant with the Huang family's child. If the Huang family's sins were heavy and they were sentenced to the crime of exterminating the nine clans, wouldn't Li Jinfeng also be unable to escape the blame...
Sun Shi became more anxious as she thought about it, and regardless of whether her injuries were fully healed, she hurriedly packed her bags in the thatched shed and went to town.
Regardless, she had to go to the county yamen to probe the situation first, at least see Li Jinfeng once.
She had completely torn her face with the Li family and had no room for turning back. Now, besides Li Jinfeng, she had no one to rely on.
If she couldn't even rely on Li Jinfeng, she would have to make other plans.
Li Family Old Woman stared tightly at the direction Sun Shi left with her triangular eyes, then pulled Li Family Old Man, who was in a daze, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Li Family Old Man's dull face gradually came back to his senses.
He looked at Sun Shi's departing back, his eyes full of resentment.
Sun Shi jumped out to identify his son, not only confirming Li Shoude's crime of abducting children but also carrying the name of killing his wife.
With the villagers watching in the village, they couldn't touch Sun Shi, but once out of the village...
The old couple looked at each other and quietly followed Sun Shi.
Outside the county yamen of Ping'an County, it was crowded with people, as if it hadn't been this lively for decades.
Everyone surrounded the county yamen, pointing at the several corpses waiting to be claimed.
At this time, Guihua Shen and several families in the village who had lost children sat on Old Zhao's ox cart and rushed to the county yamen, seeing those corpses from afar.
Guihua Shen recognized her daughter from those corpses at a glance, immediately jumped off the ox cart crying, pushed through the crowd, lay on Er Niu's corpse, and wailed loudly.
"Damn Huang family! My good daughter was ruined to death by you like this... woooo..."
Guihua Shen cried heartbreakingly, and everyone around was saddened and tearful.
Most of these people had also been bullied by the Huang family and were deeply disgusted by the Huang family's harmful behavior.
Everyone worked together, standing in front of the county yamen, shouting to punish the Huang family for their heavy crimes!
The current Huang family was already a street rat that everyone shouted to beat and kill; no one sympathized, and no one would stand up to speak for them.
The Li family old couple saw the scene of everyone shouting to beat the Huang family as soon as they arrived at the county yamen, and were so scared they didn't dare to approach the county yamen, fearing being recognized.
But seeing Sun Shi had already passed through the crowd and arrived at the gate of the county yamen, she begged two yamen servants for a while, saying she wanted to visit her daughter in prison, then touched a few taels of broken silver and stuffed it to the two yamen servants, and finally was let in.
Li Family Old Man hurriedly signaled to Li Family Old Woman.
Li Family Old Woman was a bit reluctant, but still had to take out the only three taels of broken silver from her bosom.
This was the entire family's assets of the Li family.
But three taels of broken silver, in the eyes of those two yamen servants, was barely enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
Li Family Old Man begged and pleaded for a long time before the two yamen servants let them in.
All the way into the county yamen prison, Li Family Old Man finally saw his son, whom he had been thinking about, wearing prison clothes, with iron chains locked on his hands and feet, sitting in the prison with a dirty face, no longer having the temperament of a scholar.
"Son!" Li Family Old Man couldn't help but burst into tears and pounced on the bars. "You've suffered..."
"Father!"
As soon as Li Shoude saw the Li family old couple, he sat up excitedly, reaching out to Li Family Old Man urgently, "Father, save me! Save me and get me out!" ===== CHAPTER 232 =====
