NOVEL NEXT Chapter 363: Cheating
Seeing that these villagers believed in Lao Mu so much, Ye Qingran felt that he could not make steel out of iron.
She originally thought that Shuang'er would come back and tell everything, and even if they wouldn't completely believe it, they should still have some doubts, but she still thought they were too smart.
"Do you really think there is a mountain god?" She looked at the villagers.
The villagers nodded repeatedly: "Lao Mu calculated this. We saw with our own eyes that the paper ash fell in the direction of the mountain. This is not a coincidence."
"Not to mention that these little tricks are fake, but as soon as the mountain god said it, I want to ask you, if there is a mountain god, why do so many people die and suffer so much, and he doesn't protect you? Have you done anything evil? Something?"
She chuckled, "If you would be punished if you did bad things, then there would be no bad people in the world. I think those robbers and thieves are living well, and even have money in their hands, and are living better than us. rich."
The villagers stopped talking.
They never thought about this, they were just frightened by the sudden strange situation, and they felt a little sick and rushed to seek medical treatment.
At this time, after Ye Qingran analyzed it, he realized that these illusory things were actually not so credible.
Seeing her change the attitude of the villagers who defended her with just a few words, Lao Mu panicked a little. He explained: "I'm doing this for everyone's good... This, I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm afraid of just in case, just in case. When it really comes true, what will we do?”
"You are interesting. You say you are doing it for everyone, but what have you done that benefits everyone?"
Ye Qingran's eyes were sharp, "Is it possible that your kindness to the villagers is to select the most beautiful daughter from their family and send it to the mountain, and then never come back? I think you are counting on the protection of the mountain god, and the mountain god must at least be a kind-hearted guy, right? ? People with good intentions won't ask you to do this, so why should people with no good intentions help you? "
She pressed every sentence, and Lao Mu's lips trembled, unable to speak.
Seeing that he was no longer quibbling, she said directly: "If you tell me honestly, I can deal with you leniently."
But Lao Mu still lowered his head and said nothing.
There was still a trace of luck in his heart. After all, Ye Qingran was just guessing and there was no evidence. As long as there was no evidence, it would never be possible to truly identify her crime.
"I've already given you a chance."
Ye Qingran took a step forward, "Your talisman papers are just ordinary papers that have been tampered with, and the astragalus seedlings you asked others to pull up, I also brought them back and replanted them. Do you want to take the astragalus seedlings?" Seedlings in exchange for money, and also greedy to do evil things to the girls in the village, do you really think I don’t know anything? "
As soon as she finished speaking, the guards behind her stepped forward and detained Lao Mu.
Only then did Lao Mu realize that the body shapes of these guards seemed to be similar to those of the robbers he saw yesterday. With the look in their eyes, he realized that those robbers were sent by Ye Qingran to pretend.
So Ye Qingran really knew everything a long time ago. If he had known this, it would be better to confess earlier, but now it's too late to say anything.
Lao Mu knelt down and begged for mercy: "I know I was wrong, I was just blinded for a moment, I, I don't dare to do it anymore! Girl, please forgive me this time!"
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't appreciate it."
Seeing Lao Mu's attitude, the villagers knew that what Ye Qingran said was true, and they were very angry in their hearts.
They didn't expect that so many people would be fooled by Lao Mu alone, so they started shouting that they wanted to arrest Lao Mu and burn him to death.
More and more people were shouting, and the voices were getting louder and louder. Lao Mu kowtowed, begging everyone for mercy, and just wanted a chance to live.
Ye Qingran looked at them, a little disappointed.
What Lao Mu did was indeed excessive, but these villagers always followed what others said and could change their minds with just a few words, so they were easily taken advantage of.
You know, taking care of such people requires several times more energy than taking care of smart people, which really gives her a headache.
"Okay, stop arguing. Let the government deal with the wrong things Lao Mu has done. Any punishment that should be done must be done in accordance with the law. I can't just let you do whatever you say."
Ye Qingran opened his mouth, and the villagers naturally shut up and stopped shouting.
The most he could do if he was sent to the government was to go to jail. If he really complied with what these villagers said, he would be dead.
Lao Mu also understood this and thought it was Ye Qingran who was letting him off the hook, so he continued to kowtow and began to express his gratitude.
Ye Qingran was a little disgusted with his attitude, so he just waved his hand and had people take him away.
After Lao Mu was sent away, the villagers finally began to reflect on their actions.
Just because of Lao Mu's words, they pulled out all the well-planted astragalus on the mountain. Although Ye Qingran bought it back and replanted it, they did it after all.
Not only that, they were also deceived into sending Shuang'er to the mountain, and even let Lao Mu manipulate them, and even had to tie them up and force them to die.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
After figuring this out, they went to Ye Qingran to express their apology and self-reflection, and promised not to make the same mistake again in the future.
Ye Qingran originally didn't intend to care too much about their faults. After all, they were just ordinary people living in remote areas. In such a living environment, they did not have the energy to think too much, let alone the opportunity to receive education.
They did make mistakes, but they cannot be blamed harshly.
However, the reflection of the villagers is also open to question. They are more worried that Ye Qingran will think that they are hopeless, so he will no longer care about them and let them fend for themselves. For the sake of their own future life, they will reflect and do it. Will apologize.
But she won't dwell on this. She just asks the villagers to come to her and Chu Qingyun to discuss any concerns in the future. They must not act privately, otherwise they won't be able to help them with the next problem.
After experiencing what happened this time, the villagers naturally nodded in agreement.
Then, as required, they went to Shuang'er's house to apologize to Shuang'er and Shuang'er's father, and successfully obtained the forgiveness of their father and daughter, and the matter came to an end.
In order to make up for their previous mistakes, the villagers planted astragalus more seriously.
Now that the temperature is quite suitable, with the help of fertilizer, the growth rate of astragalus is many times faster than expected. It even takes only a few days to grow a batch, which makes Ye Qingran a little surprised.
With this momentum, she asked the villagers to open up a piece of land and plant astragalus to the maximum extent. When the astragalus matures and is sold, the money they can get will be enough for everyone to use for half a year.
