The next morning at the crack of dawn, before Lu Dezhu's wife and two sons could even get out of bed, they were captured by a group of Government Officials who stormed into their room and tied them up with ropes.
Ms. Ge, Lu Dezhu's wife, screamed, "Who are you? Let us go! We haven't broken any laws, we are the Lu Family People, relatives of County Magistrate Zou!"
Lu Jincai, Lu Dezhu's eldest son, also shouted, "We are relatives of County Magistrate Zou, release us at once, or the County Governor will not let you off!"
Bang—
One of the Government Officials kicked Lu Jincai in the chest and cursed, "Pah, County Magistrate Zou won't let us off? You think too highly of yourself. Even if County Magistrate Zou had the brains of a pig, he would never bother to pick a quarrel with us over you!"
Lu Jincai was kicked violently in the chest, causing him to curl up on the ground and wail in pain.
