Chapter 1836 Got some insignificant clues

When Qiao Liancheng saw the village cadres talking to those people, he hid behind a tree.

But the tree was quite thin, and there was no guarantee that he would be discovered even if he turned sideways.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to him, the village cadre said something to the two of them, and it was obvious that they were coming towards this side.

Qiao Liancheng had no choice but to quickly climb up the tree and hide in a branch.

He had just hidden himself when the three men arrived under the tree. He didn't know whether it was a coincidence or they were seeking death.

The three people happened to stop under the tree, and Qiao Liancheng could hear their voices clearly.

At this moment, if any one of the three of them looked up, they would see Qiao Liancheng.

Unfortunately, they were all adults who only knew how to look at the "three-acre land" in front of them with their hands behind their backs, but rarely stopped to look up at the vast sky, so no one could discover Qiao Liancheng.

The village cadre said:

"Didn't we agree that we would just go over and beat them up and teach them a lesson, and that's all."

"You killed the chickens and smashed their eggs. You caused great harm to the people."

"I heard that they took more than 2000 yuan from the farm. Isn't that enough?"

"Why did you arrest the person? The police will come to our door soon. Even if our village chief wants to protect you, he can't do that."

The two men opposite were both young men, one of them looked to be around 27 or 28 years old.

He said blankly: "Tiezhu, you can't say that."

"When your village chief came to us and asked us for help, he didn't give us a penny."

"They said they wanted to treat us to a meal, but what was the food? There wasn't even two meat dishes on the table. It was all vegetarian. Did they think we were beggars?"

The slightly younger guy next to him said, "Yeah, why don't you go out and ask around? Our Brother Ding is well-known in this area for his ability to settle disputes."

"As long as there is money, anything can be done for you."

"But the prerequisite is that the money is in place. You didn't give a penny, and you didn't even treat me to a meal."

"You want us to fight for you even though the problem is right in front of us? Do you really think we are easy to bully?"

A few words from the young man Bangbang left the village cadres speechless.

He opened his mouth and said, "What our village chief meant is that if you take those chickens away and sell them, they will be worth a lot of money, which is more than what we give you."

"There are about 2,000 to 3,000 chickens in total. If you don't mention anything else, each chicken sells for about ten yuan, which means it's tens of thousands of yuan."

"But you killed all the chickens and broke their eggs. Who can you blame for this?"

"The money was right in front of you and you didn't know how to take it. Do you blame us?"

The older young man said, "Nonsense! If I took all those chickens, they would go to the police station and sue us. That would be called robbery."

"Even if your village chief says that after the matter is done, all the chickens in the chicken farm will belong to us."

"But your village chief is not the owner of the chicken farm. What qualifications does he have to say such things?"

"If you have a daughter, and someone who has a grudge against you tells me to marry your daughter to me as my wife, can I go to your house and snatch your daughter away?"

"Does what he says work?"

The village cadres were speechless after hearing this.

He stammered, "Of course not. I have the final say over my daughter. No one else's words will do the trick."

The older man said, "That's right."

"Even if the village chief says he will give me all the chickens in the chicken farm, he is not the owner of the chicken farm. What's the use of his saying that? He has no right to dispose of those chickens at all."

"Do you really think I don't understand the law at all and know nothing?"

"Since we two brothers are able to stand up and help others, it means we are not stupid. At least we should understand the law."

"Your village chief is just playing with us as fools."

"But then again, we just took the chicken back and threw it to the village chief. Even if this matter gets out of hand, it has nothing to do with us. We are just taking money from others to help them get rid of the disaster."

"After all, we were the thugs you sent out. We were not the ones who ordered them, nor were we the ones who gave the idea behind the scenes. That's why we can't be held responsible for this."

After a pause he continued:

"As for the three missing people, they have nothing to do with us."

"We don't know. We don't even know where those three people went. Why did they disappear?"

The village official frowned and asked anxiously, "Didn't you really take those three people away?"

The older man snorted and said, "If it's not, then it's not. Why waste your words?"

The village official sighed helplessly and said, "Well, if that's the case, then just pretend I've never been here."

Having said this he walked away with his hands behind his back.

After he left, the two men were still standing under the tree, and the older man took out a cigarette and lit it in his mouth.

After taking a puff, he said, "Were the three people in the chicken farm really arrested?"

The younger guy said, "How should I know, Brother Ding? I've always been with you. How could I know something that you don't know?"

"If you want to know, I'll go back and ask him. There's no way such a big thing won't get out."

The older man nodded.

He sighed and said, "We are just helping people settle disputes and taking money to get rid of disasters. It's better not to get involved with this matter."

"If those three people are really missing, it won't be long before the police come to our house to question us, after all, it was us who destroyed the chicken farm."

After a pause, he continued, "Go back and get some money to share among the brothers. Let them hide out in other places for two days."

"Come back after this is over."

"Although there is nothing we cannot tell others about what we did, the main thing is that if we are caught by the police, we will inevitably suffer some hardships, so it is better to avoid it."

The young man nodded and agreed.

After a pause as if thinking of something, he continued, "Brother Ding, I think I know something. When we left the chicken farm, didn't you take people directly to the next village to report to the village chief?"

"I saw some people at the entrance of the village. They looked aggressive and the license plate number looked a little strange."

"I heard a few of them asking where the chicken farm is. Do you think they were the ones who captured those three people?"

Brother Ding pursed his lips and squinted his eyes, saying, "I don't know if it was them, but they went there and arrested the person right after we left."

"It's not easy to get rid of suspicion in this matter, so let's try to leave. If someone asks, don't say we met them."

"Just say you know nothing, and let the police investigate the rest."

"This kind of thing is like yellow mud splashing out of your pants. It's either shit or dead shit. We must keep our mouths shut."

The young man nodded in agreement.
