Chapter 230: The Living Man Has Changed
The person carried by Gu Dahan and the young man was exactly Xu Yong.
However, only people in Qinghe Bay who are familiar with Xu Yong could recognize him by his outline.
Tong Huaqiong guessed correctly, Xu Yong looked completely different from a living person.
She was wearing a women's skirt, her hair was tied up like a married woman, and she had a tassel hairpin on her head.
The shadow of the tassels swayed on his blush-painted face, looking very funny.
He went to great lengths to evade responsibility for selling fake pesticides.
It turns out that shameless people are invincible.
Both the villagers of Qinghewan and the villagers of other villages were shocked by Xu Yong's appearance.
"Oh, Uncle He Yong, you look pretty when you dress like this." A woman smacked her lips and exclaimed, "You're prettier than your wife."
Xu Yong buried his face in the handkerchief.
Everyone's lips twitched.
"Why is there a bundle of straw in his arms?" someone asked in confusion.
Gu Dahan said honestly: "Uncle Yong was confused and covered the straw stack with a towel. When I saw Uncle Yong, I was shocked and thought he had stolen someone's child."
Gu Dahan's words are really heartbreaking.
Everyone suddenly realized.
Xu Yong spared no expense in his escape. Not only did he dress up as a woman, he also used a haystack to disguise himself as a child and put it in his arms.
This is the image of a grandmother taking her children to visit relatives.
You know what, if you don’t look carefully, you can really be fooled by Xu Yong.
Four strong young men put Xu Yong on the ground.
Xu Yong wanted to escape, but he couldn't.
His ankle was injured.
In addition, the villagers from other villages were staring at him with eager eyes, and he was afraid that if he raised his legs, they would tear him to pieces.
He hated Gu Dahan to death.
If it weren’t for Gu Dahan, I’m afraid he would have escaped to the mountains by now.
He was planning to escape from the mountains to Zheng's home in Pingchuan County.
The prescription was prepared by Xu Zaohua, so there was no way Xu Zaohua would just ignore him.
Before he ran into the toilet, Tian quickly handed him her clothes and watercolor box.
Xu Yong held the camouflage items and jumped out of the wall when no one noticed him. He hid in the cornfield, dressed up, and ran up the mountain along the path.
They had already reached the foot of the mountain, but were caught up by Gu Dahan and his hired workers.
Xu Yong ran for his life despite Gu Dashu's repeated calls of "Uncle Yong". He was tripped by some firewood on the ridge of the field and twisted his foot. Gu Dahan and his men successfully carried him back.
Xu Yong saw Tong Huaqiong out of the corner of his eye, and his hatred for Gu Dahan shifted to Tong Huaqiong.
He didn't believe that the always honest Gu Dahan would be so smart as to block him on the road.
The reason why he was caught by Gu Dahan was all planned by Widow Tong.
Xu Yong even suspected that the pesticide was a trap set by Widow Tong, waiting for him to fall into it so that she could crush him to death in Qinghe Bay.
"Xu Yong, you are such a coward that you even disguised yourself as a woman. Aren't you ashamed?"
After being briefly shocked by Xu Yong's outrageous move, everyone quickly regained their anger.
The village chief of Guazhou Bay was the first to speak out and mock Xu Yong.
"Village chief, don't waste your words on him. He has stolen our corn, so we can't let him go."
The villagers of Guazhou Bay had bloodshot eyes, and with all the new and old grudges coming their way, they wished they could kill Xu Yong.
Village Chief Hu stopped everyone.
Of course Xu Yong cannot be let go, but before letting Xu Yong go, Xu Yong must compensate everyone for their losses.
Xu Yong lay on the ground pretending to be dead, with his eyes closed and not saying a word.
His sprained foot was in excruciating pain, but he didn't dare to cry out.
At this moment, he wished that a crack would appear in the ground and take him away.
"Xu Yong, don't pretend to be dead! I distributed the pesticides to the villagers with good intentions, but you secretly prepared the prescriptions to cheat people. Now that everyone has come to your door, you have to give everyone an explanation." Tong Huaqiong was possessed by Tong Da Jiao again, walked over, kicked Xu Yong and said.
Xu Yong cried out in pain, his feet hurt even more.
Tong Huaqiong continued: "Do you think you can get away by closing your eyes?"
The villagers of Qinghewan thought that Tong Huaqiong deserved it.
After all, Xu Yong figured out the formula through the medicine given by Tong Huaqiong. If Tong Huaqiong doesn't care, wouldn't he be a soft persimmon?
If someone can secretly mix pesticides into the cakes today, someone can secretly mix peach blossom desserts into the cakes tomorrow.
Xu Yong still kept his eyes closed.
It was as if he wouldn't face all this unless he opened his eyes.
Village chief Hu of Guazhou Bay, who had dealt with Xu Yong countless times, knew that Xu Yong was thick-skinned, but he did not expect him to be so thick-skinned.
In a fit of rage, he ordered the villagers to fetch a basin of water from the yard and pour it over Xu Yong's head.
Xu Yong started and opened his eyes.
"You're pretending to be dead, but you don't even know the time." Village Chief Hu said, "Don't say you're not dead. Even if you were really dead, we would dig you up and whip your corpse to make amends."
Xu Yong knew he couldn't escape, so he sat up suddenly.
Just like a fish on a chopping block making its last struggle, it said, "...I didn't prescribe that medicine, so it's no use for you to come to me. I was also deceived."
Tong Huaqiong rushed to Xu Yong with a vigilant look on her face. If he dared to drag her into the water, she would be able to make sure Xu Yong died without a burial place.
Seeing that Tong Huaqiong was about to tear him apart, Xu Yong wanted to swallow back the words that he wanted to put the blame on Tong Huaqiong.
"My niece Xu Zaohua asked someone to prepare the medicine," Xu Yong said. "I was also deceived by her."
When Xu Yong was escaping, he realized that he was Xu Zaohua's white glove stepping stone.
Xu Zaohua wanted to use pesticides to gain the trust of the two elders of the Zheng family and consolidate her position in the Zheng family. She could not guarantee that the baby in her belly would be a son, so she took the opportunity to formulate pesticides to eliminate ear rot.
After the pesticide is successfully formulated, not only can one obtain official rewards, but it can also bring a large amount of wealth to the Zheng family.
As for how Xu Zaohua could test whether the pesticides she prepared were effective, she naturally had to conduct experiments in the fields.
The Zheng family has a lot of fertile land, and Xu Zaohua would definitely not use the Zheng family's fertile land for testing, so Xu Yong, the cheap uncle, came in handy.
If the pesticide is effective, Xu Zaohua will be able to show off in front of the prefect and all the glory will be hers; if the pesticide is ineffective and destroys the crops, it will be her uncle who will be cursed by everyone.
Xu Yong hated Xu Zaohua for plotting against him.
He really didn't expect that this medicine could destroy crops.
He thought that since Widow Tong could make the medicine, it would be impossible for the Zheng family not to be able to make it based on their resources. Besides, they had obtained Widow Tong's medicine.
Just match it according to the instructions.
"When you gave everyone the medicine, you didn't say it was prepared by your niece. Now you want to pass the buck. You're just dreaming."
Village Chief Hu kept biting Xu Yong.
Even if the medicine was really prepared by Xu Yong's niece, he would not acknowledge it.
Xu Yong's niece is the eldest lady of the Zheng family. Compared to asking Xu Yong for an explanation, it is more difficult to ask the Zheng family for an explanation.
Village chief Hu will not be led by Xu Yong.
"You took the money, why didn't you say it was your niece who made the medicine? Why are you running away if it's not the medicine you made?"
Village Chief Zhang and Village Chief Hu of Yueliangwan thought the same thing. Since the medicine was bought from Xu Yong, Xu Yong should be responsible.
Xu Yong must be beaten to death for prescribing fake medicine.
Xu Yong looked at the villagers from other villages who were as ferocious as wolves and tigers, and groaned in his heart.
"This medicine was really prepared by Zaohua. It's all my fault for believing her nonsense. Think about it, why would I prepare fake medicine for you? Your corns have been ruined by fake medicine, so you're going to come after me? Can you forgive me? I didn't expect that medicine would ruin the crops."
"I know that everyone will not let me leave the village when they are angry, so I have no choice but to dress up like this. I am not leaving the village to escape, but to go to Zheng's house in Pingchuan County to find Zaohua and seek justice for everyone."
Knowing he couldn't escape, Xu Yong simply pretended to be pitiful.
It has to be said that he is worthy of being the village chief of Qinghewan for many years and is a man who can bend and stretch.
