Chapter 264: Still being stubborn!
"So what are we going to do now?" Mingyue clutched her small bag tightly, ready to go at any moment. Her expectant eyes made it hard for anyone to say "no" to her.
Mingyang patted her head and said, "Don't bother. The village chief is in the county government office right now."
In the interrogation room.
"Sir, why did you arrest me? I am a good citizen!" Village chief Luo complained.
Mingyue in the compartment widened her eyes when she heard this. Why did this smell seem so familiar?
"Stop talking nonsense, just answer whatever I ask." Lantian acted like a county magistrate, which was still somewhat useful.
In an instant, Village Chief Luo became as quiet as a chicken.
"Village Chief Luo? Your real name is Village Chief Luo!?" Lantian was shocked. He had never noticed this place before.
Village chief Luo opposite nodded and remained silent.
Mingyue recalled that some people once named their sons "Zhuangyuan" in the hope that they would win the top prize and be listed on the imperial examinations in the future. It seemed that the parents of Village Chief Luo also hoped that their son would become successful.
Lantian stared at him and asked, "I want to ask you, how many people were there in your village at the end of last year?"
Village Chief Luo's eyes flashed, and he quickly replied, "Two hundred and sixty-three people! Two hundred and sixty-three people!"
Then he pounded his legs and burst into tears, "Ahhhh, I am unworthy of being the village chief. Overnight, the entire village was reduced to only fifteen of us orphans and widows! And those bandits are still alive and well. Heaven is so unfair! Heaven is so unfair!"
"Boom boom" "Boom boom"
A loud thunder sounded in the sky, and Village Chief Luo, who had just been crying bitterly, suddenly stopped crying and shrank his neck in fear.
Lantian rolled his eyes. "Village Chief Luo, do you dare to swear to heaven that there are only 263 people in your village? If you disobey, heaven will strike you with lightning and you will die a miserable death!"
Village Chief Luo was startled, then gritted his teeth and swore, "I, Village Chief Luo, swear that there are only 263 people in Luojia Village! If you lie even a little bit, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
His confident look confused Lantian. Could it be that they guessed wrong?
At this time, Mingyang came out of the cubicle with his arms folded, "Village Chief Luo, long time no see."
"Hey, you, are you that young lady's brother? When you see your sister later, don't forget to mention my little grandson. He likes your sister very much."
Mingyang gave him a disgusted look, "Oh? Seriously? Then why not send your little grandson to keep my sister company."
"Well, then there's no need for that. He can't live without me." Village Chief Luo said guiltily.
Mingyang walked up to him and looked down at him, "Village Chief Luo, I also have something to ask you."
"You tell me, you tell me, although this is not in line with the rules of the government office, but your father is a high-ranking official. Just ask, and I will tell you everything I know." Village Chief Luo spoke in a sarcastic tone, and Mingyue wanted to punch him.
"Excuse me, Village Chief Luo, did you compare all the corpses yesterday one by one?"
"Yes."
"So, are they all from your village?"
Luo Cun snorted coldly, "Of course."
Whatever I say goes, after all, everyone is dead.
Mingyang looked into his eyes, trying to find evidence of his lies, but discovered that although Village Chief Luo appeared to be smooth-talking, greedy for wealth and fond of taking advantage of others, he was actually very good at finding loopholes in his words and it was impossible to get a single word out of him.
Not simple—this was Mingyang’s deeper impression of him.
He narrowed his eyes. This guy probably wouldn't tell the truth easily, but... fortunately, his soft spot was still there.
It seems that this man values his two little grandchildren very much, and it doesn't seem fake.
He and Lantian looked at each other, then turned and left.
Lantian immediately regained his amiable smile, stood up, and personally untied Village Chief Luo. "Brother Luo, don't mind. This was just an interrogation, after all. We are handling this matter impartially."
Village Chief Luo suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's how it is, I thought..." Before he could finish his words, he immediately stopped talking.
"What else did you think?" Lantian asked casually.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm leaving first. See you later if you have any problems. Don't be so rude next time. I, an old man, can't stand it." Village chief Luo walked back to the house where they were accommodated.
Lantian looked at his back and narrowed his eyes.
"Dad, why are you imitating Young Master Zhao?" Lan Yuer suddenly said.
"Ah, my dear daughter, why did you suddenly appear? You scared daddy to death." Lantian's whole face turned red. Ahhhhh, how could he deliberately act cool and still be discovered by his daughter? He is so stupid!
However, when Mr. Zhao did this move, he looked quite stylish. I'll practice it secretly next time! Once you learn it, it's mine!
After teasing her father, Lan Yuer happily took Mingyue to visit the Fuchuan County Government Office. Sister Yueyue is finally mine!
Just now, outside the house, she and Minghao had a brief exchange, which Zhao Yunshan had observed and nodded in appreciation. Thus, she was granted the privilege of staying by Mingyue's side, even allowing Mingyue to sleep in her yard.
Lan Yuer: I am the person recognized by Yueyue’s father!
Mingyang was very confused when he returned to the office. He didn't know what to do for a moment and had no idea.
Lan Jinlin handed over a glass of water at this time, "Well, it's not poisonous, you can drink it."
After drinking a glass of cold water, he felt refreshed. "You gave me cold water in the middle of winter!"
Lan Jinlin chuckled, dodged Mingyang's attack, and said, "That was your sister's leftover water. I thought it would be a waste if I poured it out, so I gave it to you for free."
Mingyang calmed down immediately. "Sister's?" That was fine. He could drink even hot water.
Minghao said quietly, "Brother, what I drank was honey water. Her maids kept it warm for her. There wasn't any cold water at all!" After saying that, he ran away.
Mingyang raised his head and looked at Lan Jinlin, who was pretending to be busy reading the case materials carefully, not far away, and smiled.
Minghao, who was hiding outside the door, watched this scene and laughed out loud. Hehehe, finally I get the chance to watch Big Brother play a trick on someone! Finally, it's not me!

"Oh my god! This bastard framed me!"
"Give him two loud farts to slander me, tell him to slander me!"
"Stop, stop, stop, kid. It's thundering in the blue sky. Be careful that the people below might panic." The old man grabbed the kid's arm.
"Let me go. This thing was not a good thing in its previous lives. It has committed such a serious crime in this life. I'm afraid it will never come back even if it is treated like a slave for several lifetimes." The child shouted angrily.
"Alright, alright, just focus on watching your sister's video. This should be that thing, oh oh oh, yes, your favorite eating show, look!"
Sure enough, the child immediately calmed down and sat in front of the Kunlun Mirror, as obedient as if he was not the one who almost destroyed the entire world just now.
