Chapter 253 The dust has settled
Seeing that Father Shen was indifferent and had no intention of helping her, Mother Shen saw Tiezhu looking at her with a fierce look, so she walked away obediently and stopped making a fuss.
The few of them quickly returned to the foot of the mountain. When they passed the village, they happened to meet the villagers who were returning home from work. Seeing that Mr. and Mother Shen had their hands tied, they couldn't help but feel curious, so they all asked about it at the same time.
"Tiezhu, what happened to these two people? Why are they tied up like this? Where are you taking them?"
"Yes! I saw that you seemed to be coming down from the mountain. What happened on the mountain?"
"Aren't these two Shen Hao's parents? Why did they come to the village again? How did you catch them?"
"Could these two people have committed murder or arson?"
The villagers were extremely curious and they all wanted to know what the two men had done to get caught.
Seeing this, Tiezhu knew that he would not be able to leave the village without an explanation, so he stopped and told the villagers the whole story!
"What? These two people went to the mountain to steal gold? How can they be so brave! Didn't they think they would be caught and eaten before they stole? I really don't know whether to say they are brave or stupid!"
"You dare to steal the country's things. Aren't you stupid?"
“I don’t know if I’ll be fed peanuts!”
When Mr. and Mrs. Shen heard the word "peanuts", they finally became afraid. There was no trace of blood on their faces, as if they were dying!
"Please help us and don't send us to the police station. We really know we are wrong."
"And we didn't get the gold! Can't you let us off this time?"
Father Shen cried and complained with great emotion, hoping that the villagers could say something good about them.
"It's no use begging us! We can't make the decision!"
"If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? If you weren't greedy, you wouldn't have ended up like this."
Shen's mother cried and hoped to arouse the villagers' sympathy, but the villagers would never speak for them and it was considered good enough that they did not add insult to injury.
"You...you are so heartless! Can't you just spare us this time because of our age? Besides, we just lost our loved one not long ago. Are you so cruel?"
Seeing that the villagers were unmoved, Mr. Shen started to act pitiful again.
"Stop talking. No one can help you no matter how much you say. Just follow me to the police station!"
Tiezhu was already impatient and kept urging them to hurry up.
"Please..." Father Shen's face was covered with tears and he almost knelt down.
But the villagers acted as if they hadn't heard or seen anything, and they were all discussing with their friends what kind of punishment Mr. and Mother Shen would receive.
"You are all heartless people, you will not die well..." Father Shen was so angry that he started cursing when he saw that the villagers did not say a word to help them.
Thinking that he was going to be arrested anyway, there was no point in begging for mercy, so he might as well satisfy his urge to talk.
What Mr. Shen didn't know was that it was his two sentences that angered the villagers. Someone threw a small stone over, followed by the second and third, and finally countless small stones hit Mr. and Mother Shen.
The two were soon beaten black and blue. Tiezhu was afraid that someone would be killed, so he had to come out and call for an emergency stop. "Okay, everyone, go back! We have to send them to the police station too. It will be bad if we delay any longer!" Tiezhu explained with a smile.
"Okay, Tiezhu, you guys go quickly! The sooner you go, the sooner you come back. We still want to know what punishment they will get! What do you think?"
"Yes Yes Yes."
"But please tell us! We are waiting to hear..."
When the villagers heard this, they stopped talking and stopped surrounding the few people. They let Tiezhu and the others leave the village and go to the town.
"Hurry up and go..."
When they were halfway there, Tiezhu saw that Mr. and Mrs. Shen were walking slower and slower, so he started to urge them again, saying that if they were walking so slowly, when would they ever get to the town?
Mr. and Mrs. Shen felt as if their legs were filled with lead and they couldn't even lift them, but in the end they had no choice but to grit their teeth and persevere!
Especially the foot of Shen's mother without the shoe, it was already bloody and it was a bit creepy to look at!
But Tiezhu didn't care about all that. He just wanted to get the people there so he could go back and report as soon as possible, so whenever they walked slowly, he would keep pushing them forward.
When the four of them arrived at the town's Public Security Bureau, Shen's father and mother were so tired that they could not stand up. Seeing how miserable they looked, Tiezhu had no choice but to ask another person to keep an eye on them, and then he went into the Public Security Bureau alone to explain the situation.
After about five minutes, Tiezhu came out with a few police officers.
After handing Shen's father and mother over to the police, Tiezhu asked them some more questions and then walked back to the village with his companions. Shen's father and mother were locked up after being interrogated.
"How is it? Any results?" As soon as Tiezhu and his friends returned to the village entrance, they were stopped by a large group of people and kept being questioned.
"The police said that if the situation is true, I will either have to eat peanuts or be imprisoned for forty years, one of the two." Seeing that he couldn't hide away, Tiezhu had to tell them everything he had learned from the police.
Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I would not be able to enter the village.
"Wow! That's serious!"
"That's right! Don't you see what they stole? That's the country's gold. It's not their turn to take advantage of it."
"Alas! Even if you don't die, you'll have to stay in prison for the rest of your life. How many forty years can a person have?"
Many people expressed their feelings, wondering whether they were thinking about Mr. and Mrs. Shen or themselves.
"Alright, now that you know the outcome, just disperse! Don't gather here anymore, and put away all those inappropriate thoughts of yours, or I won't be able to save you."
The village chief took this opportunity to educate the villagers again, saying that there is no better time than today.
When the villagers heard the village chief’s words, they did not dare to ask any more questions and walked back to their homes chatting.
Tiezhu and the other two did not go home directly, but went straight to the mountain. The village chief took 20 yuan and went to the Youth League Home to find Zhang Yujie.
"Zhang Zhiqing, this money is Pan Jinlian's compensation to you. I have already let them go. You can take this money and take good care of yourself."
"And Shen Zhiqing's parents have been captured. They may never trouble you again in this life. Just live here peacefully!"
Zhang Yujie didn't go out, so she had no idea that Mr. and Mrs. Shen had done such a shocking thing, so she was completely confused when she heard it!
In the end, the village chief couldn't stand it anymore, so he told everyone what Shen's father and mother had done.
