Hearing the hurried voices outside, Su Li put on her clothes and walked out.
He Qingyao and He Qingmu were also woken up by the commotion outside. He Yufeng patted their backs.
“It’s fine. Go back to sleep.”
He Qingyao and He Qingmu opened their eyes and looked at him. Then, they closed their eyes and continued to sleep.
After He Yufeng saw that they had fallen asleep, he walked out quietly and even closed the door considerately.
When He Yufeng saw that Su Li was about to open the door, he quickly walked over and pulled her back. He said, “Stand here and don’t move. I’ll go take a look.”
Someone came knocking on the door in the middle of the night. He didn’t even know if it was a human or a ghost outside. He couldn’t let Su Li be in danger.
When Su Li heard his words, she really stood rooted to the ground.
He Yufeng opened the courtyard door.
Outside the door stood five people in constable clothes. Behind them were He Yuan, Cheng Yu, and the others.
He Yufeng narrowed his eyes. Why were there constables again? Were these constables like stones on the ground now? They could be seen everywhere!
When He Yuan saw He Yufeng coming out, the corners of his mouth twitched as he explained, “This is the constable. He came to find you to understand the situation.”
Understand the situation? Understand what situation? Besides, what was so urgent that they had to come in the middle of the night?
He Yufeng stood at the door and did not move. He said, “Alright, we’ll try our best to cooperate with you when we understand the situation. However, the children have just fallen asleep. Let’s talk here.”
Who knew if these constables were real or fake? If they were fakes again, wouldn’t he be inviting a wolf into his house?
When He Yuan heard this, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch. It was not very appropriate to stand here in the middle of the night! What if they neglected the constable and made him unhappy?
He said, “It doesn’t seem appropriate to stand here in the middle of the night. The weather is also a little cold. It won’t be good if we catch a cold later. Why don’t we go in and talk? We won’t wake the children up if we keep our voices down. ”
He Yufeng still wanted to refuse. He did not care what others did, as long as it
did not affect his family.
Su Li walked over and deliberately said, “So the village chief is here. I wonder
what’s the matter.”
He Yuan explained again, “Su Li, it’s like this. The constable is looking for you to understand the situation. Don’t worry, we won’t disturb the children.”
Su Li pulled He Yufeng to the side and scolded him jokingly, “You usually don’t admit that you’re a stubborn donkey. Let’s see what you’ll do if you let a guest stand at the door in the middle of the night and they really catch a cold.”
She turned her head and smiled at He Yuan. “Come, Village Chief, come in quickly. Don’t argue with the children’s father. He has always been a straight minded person.”
She wanted to see what was going on in the middle of the night. As long as these people had evil intentions, she would make them suffer.
He Yufeng was speechless.
Was he a stubborn donkey in her heart?
He Yuan chuckled when he heard Su Li’s words. He thought to himself that He Yufeng was not as sensible as a woman.
After entering the house, Su Li boiled water and made them a pot of tea. He Yuan said, “There’s no need to be so busy. Hurry up and sit down!” Su Li rolled her eyes in her heart. Why didn’t he say this beforehand?
“You’re Su Li?” one of the constables asked.
Su Li smiled and nodded. “Yes.”
The constable asked in an interrogative tone, “Did you meet anyone on the street today?”
Su Li raised her eyebrows. It seemed like they were targeting her this time. She didn’t answer this question and asked, “Before I answer your questions, I want to ask you a few questions. You said that you’re constables. I wonder if you have anything to prove your identity?”
“If there’s nothing to prove your identities, I’m sorry, but I can’t answer your questions.”
The constable was stunned by her words. He really did not expect to be asked about something to prove his identity one day.
When the slightly plump constable heard Su Li’s words, he was unhappy. He said angrily, “You don’t believe us? Can’t you see the clothes we’re wearing? Do ordinary people dare to wear them?”
This woman’s eyes were really problematic. Didn’t she see such a big word?
No, perhaps this woman did not know how to read at all. She was indeed short-sighted.
Su Li said, “Brother, don’t be agitated. I did this because I was deceived once. It’s said that it’s innocent to suffer once in a place. It’s stupid to suffer twice.”
At the side, He Yuan touched his nose. He felt that Su Li’s words made sense. When these people arrived, he was so frightened that he jumped. When he heard that they were asking about Su Li’s residence, he immediately brought people over. He did not even have a trace of doubt in his heart.
If these people were imposters again, he would lose face!
The slightly plump constable asked, “Tricked? Have you been tricked?”
Su Li asked, “Did you come to investigate a fugitive a few days ago? Or did you send anyone out to investigate?”
The constable didn’t understand why she asked this, but he still shook his head and said, “No, none of the people we caught escaped. How can there be a fugitive! ”
Su Li said, “But a few days ago, a few people said that they were officials and came to track down the fugitives. They even searched our village and asked us to cooperate with the mountain search. They even promised each person a tael of silver.”
“In the end, when we asked them to pay the silver, they secretly ran away. Only then did we know that they were liars. After all, the officials have always been very righteous. How could they be shameless like them?”
The group of constables was rendered speechless by Su Li.
At this moment, He Yuan spoke, “Officer, the entire village knows about this. If you don’t believe me, you can ask around. Those people pretended to be officials and even asked us to follow them to search the mountain. In the end, they tortured us half to death.”
Su Li continued, “I can tell from your righteous expressions that you’re not someone those petty people can compare to. However, in order to make everyone feel more at ease, it’s best if there’s something to prove it.”
The plump constable opened his mouth. Their faces were the best proof. What more proof did she want?
Within a radius of dozens of miles, who didn’t know their names? Who didn’t know their faces?
“This is our token. Other than the constables from the government office, no one else will have it.”
The constable, who had been silent all this while, spoke up and took out the token from his pocket.
This person was Lu Xiaowei, the boss of the constables and the person in charge of this matter.
Su Li looked at the token in front of her and blinked. Who knew if this thing was real or fake!
At this moment, a large hand took the token from Lu Xiaowei’s hand. Lu Xiaowei saw that He Yufeng was looking at it seriously, as if he really knew how to judge it. Although he was a little disdainful, he did not speak..
