Chapter 131: Chapter 129: Ye Lei Gets Caught: Sisi Rushes to Pursue
“No! Ye Lei, what on earth is happening? Tell me, I will find clues, find the real killer of Big Mouth Li, and help clear your name! Ye Lei, speak up, speak up!” Liu Sisi pleaded, shaking his arm energetically.
Looking up at the several government office’s runners, Di Yelei shook his head: “It’s all right. There’s a man in the town nicknamed Diao Shanbiao who accused me of being the killer of Big Mouth Li, he…”
“That’s enough! How much more sweet talk do you have to say? Get going, don’t delay the hour of departure.” The older governmental office’s runner urged impatiently.
Seeing that time was running out, Liu Sisi couldn’t care less about anything else, hurriedly took something out of her arms and stuffed it into Di Yelei’s clothes.
On tiptoe, she leaned into his ear: “This is ten taels of silver. When you get to the prison, remember to bribe, suffer a little less physical pain.”
She didn’t know what the government jail was like in this era, but she still remembered the bureaucratic offices in the TV series of her previous life. There, injustices often favored those with money. Whether right or wrong, bringing some taels of silver with you on the road was never a mistake.
“Sisi, take good care of yourself and the two children. A clear conscience laughs at false accusations, I will come back as soon as possible.”
Di Yelei wanted to say something more, but he choked on his words and couldn’t say anything.
“I understand, I also believe you! What exactly happened that day, Ye Lei? You still haven’t told me yet!”
Di Yelei: “That day I…”
“Go! Go now!”
The older governmental office’s runner gave Di Yelei a hard push, almost knocking him over. The sturdy iron chain stirred up a rattling noise, nearly tripping Di Yelei. Luckily, he steadied his footsteps in time.
Just when people hadn’t had a chance to react, the runner moved forward, pulled the chain that was wound around Di Yelei’s neck, and held it firmly in his hand, dragging him out of the room.
“Let’s go! Back to the government office!”
“Ye Lei -”
Liu Sisi cried out and quickly ran after him.
She was, however, blocked by two governmental office’s runners, who pushed her down to the ground. Helplessly, she could only watch as the runners escorted Di Yelei away, heading in the direction of the main road.
Outside, countless of the fellow villagers pointed and whispered: “Look, it’s this Di Yelei, I heard he killed Big Mouth Li, what a sin. Ye Lei is a good person everyday, it’s hard to imagine, he actually killed someone!”
“It just goes to show you can’t judge a book by its cover! Besides, this third son of the Di family hunts for a living, which involves killing, isn’t it just a small thing for him to kill a person?”
“Exactly, isn’t he a person who brings misfortune to his mother, wife, and son? What can’t he do? What do you guys think?”
“Now Old Li, lame as he is, has to depend on the Di family to survive. Poor little new wife, from now on she has to support an extra old man…”
“Our Di family is our Di family, and he is him! I do not have a brother like that! My parents divorced him from the family long ago! From now on, his life or death has nothing to do with our Di family! Don’t you dare drag the Di family into this!”
The discussion continued, with Ms. Zhang’s triumphant and crazy voice topping them all.
“Sisi, Sisi, what is going on?”
Guihua vigorously shook Liu Sisi’s body.
“Ye Lei!”
Her eyes brimming with tears, Liu Sisi managed to regain her senses from chaos. Suddenly, she bit her teeth and climbed up from the ground.
“Sister Guihua, please take care of Ying’er and Xuan’er for me! I want to catch up and see. I’ll be bothering you to take care of the two children while I’m away!”
After Liu Sisi finished speaking, she took off running in the direction of the crowd.
