Chapter 151: The Best Again
Gossip is less, and the book is back to business.
After learning that Xiaobai was arrested and taken to the north of the city, Zhao Shilang hurriedly ran to beg his father to set up a car to go to the north of the city to save the dog.
Zhao Siniang secretly rolled her eyes, and complained very unkindly: Yes! Last time, someone stole the food in the bowl, but this time I'm afraid it's going to become the food in someone's bowl.
She deeply felt that it was enough for a housekeeper dog to be mixed like this.
But contempt is contempt, she wants to see who is so bold that even her dog dares to steal!
So she also got in the car and went with Zhao Yongzhong and his son.
Because Chu Xiaolou, who came to report the news, said that after he found out that the Ding family kid next door had stolen Xiaobai, he immediately asked Daddy Zhu, who was good friends with his family, to come to negotiate, and Xiaobai should not be in danger. So Zhao Yongzhong didn't drive the carriage too fast, after all, most of the roads in the north of the city are full of potholes, and if you drive too fast, discomfort is one of them, and it is easy to be dangerous.
Just when Zhao Siniang was sitting in the carriage moving slowly, looking at the low houses along the way, and sighing that there were two worlds separated by half a city, suddenly, she saw an "old man".
It shouldn't, it shouldn't! It must be that I am looking at the wrong way, either I am looking at the wrong person, or I am looking at the wrong clothes. This person obviously doesn't match the style of this clothes!
Chu Xiaolou, who knew how to report the kindness, saw the young lady staring at the side of the road with her eyes, shaking her head and shaking her head, with an unbelievable expression. He thought that the young lady was curious about what was going on there, so he enthusiastically explained: "That's Zhong Zhukuai and Jiang Zhukuai, they are here to handle the case." β
"Catch fast? Is it really surnamed Jiang?! Do you mean that short man? Zhao Siniang asked like a cannon.
Seeing Chu Xiaolou nodding affirmatively, Zhao Siniang felt full of malice from this world - the catcher who upheld justice actually worked part-time as a water bandit who wanted people's lives!
"Xiaoyun, is that big brother holding a scarecrow in his hand?" is different from Zhao Siniang's focus, Zhao Siniang focuses on people, and Zhao Silang pays attention to what people have.
"Well, and a scarecrow in white!" Speaking of this, Chu Xiaolou lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Dongjia, have you heard?" In the west of the city, several large families have lost their young ladies. It is said that it was robbed by the man in white! β
"So what does this have to do with the scarecrow in white?" Curious baby Zhao Shilang asked again.
It is estimated that Zhao Siniang's family is very kind, and Chu Xiaolou, who didn't dare to say much before, is no longer so timid, revealing the true nature of his broken mouth, and said carefully: "The relationship is big!" I have lost four young ladies in the past two months. The first three are fine, but 'no one is alive, no corpse is dead', but the fourth one saw a corpse a few days ago and threw it on the side of the road. Hiss. That's miserable! This time, the people of Futai were alarmed, and he urged the arresters to solve the case as soon as possible every day. But how can this case be so easy to solve? Everyone said that if the thief dared to wear white clothes at night, it meant that he had real skills, and ordinary people couldn't catch them......"
Zhao Siniang said in her heart, okay, you have been talking for a long time, but we still haven't heard that this has something to do with the scarecrow in white.
After talking for a long time, Chu Xiaolou finally got to the point: "So you have to tie a scarecrow." Put a curse on it and place it where the young lady was found, and maybe the thief will go to the yamen to confess his guilt when he sees it. β
"What spell is so spiritual?" Zhao Siniang's family of three asked in unison.
Chu Xiaolou corrected: "It's not a charm, it's a curse." The scarecrow was pasted with white paper, 'If you don't turn in, your ancestors will not die well for eight generations.' ββ
ββ¦β¦β
Well, it is said that "ten miles of different winds, a hundred miles of different customs", this secluded capital's quick arrest is also very different from other places!
Three countrymen said they had been taught.
After a short walk, I arrived at Chu Xiaolou's house.
Zhao Siniang originally thought that there would be a lot of time. to get the dog back. As soon as the car stopped, an enthusiastic villager hugged Xiaobai and personally delivered it to Zhao Shilang.
Hey? Listening to Chu Xiaolou, the Ding family who lives next door to his house is not a good match. Far from it. The Ding family kid was caught by Chu Xiaolou before, but the Ding family just refused to hand over the dog obediently. Why is the Ding family honest at this time?
Zhao Siniang's father and daughter walked in and took a look, and they understood the reason - it turned out that there were many people gathered in the courtyard of the Ding family, and if you looked closely, most of these people were old people and children, and it was estimated that they often ate in Baiweitang. I heard that the Ding family was ignorant of the dog of the owner of Baiweitang, so they came to help.
Although most of them were old and weak, so many people poured into the small courtyard of the Yang family together, and the destructive power was also very strong. Now the whole yard is in a mess, and the small greens planted in the small vegetable field in the middle have basically been trampled down.
A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy was hiding behind an old woman in her sixties, and when he saw Zhao Siniang and his party enter the door, he couldn't help but shudderβit was probably the legendary dog thief.
"Isn't it great to be rich? If you have money, you can bully people casually? What kind of sin did our Lao Ding's family make, they were all knocked on the door! Oh my God, old woman, I don't want to live......"
In the old woman's mournful cry that pierced people's eardrums, Zhao Siniang only felt that her scalp was numb. She even had the illusion that it was not the Ding family who stole her dog, but that she had dug up someone's ancestral grave.
Not only Zhao Siniang, but even Zhao Yongzhong's father and son, the two old men, saw the old woman rolling on the spot, and they felt that they couldn't bear it - oh my God, Fucheng is a lot of talent, and there are actually people who are stronger than my mother (milk)'s combat effectiveness!
Before the back of the ear, Zhao Siniang hurriedly gave her father and brother a look - withdraw!
It's not that Zhao Siniang is timid and afraid, she admits cowardice when she sees others so strong, and she doesn't even dare to say a word of theory. But Zhao Siniang thinks that the so-called truth, you can only talk to reasonable people, the old lady of the Ding family obviously does not belong to this category, and it is completely useless to reason with her. In that case, why bother talking to her?
In fact, seeing that Xiaobai was safe and sound, Zhao Siniang's family didn't want to worry about it anymore. Now that the Ding family has reacted so much, and seeing that his family is also in a mess, it can be regarded as a lesson. The family, who had always been tolerant of others, agreed to settle the matter, and they all turned around and walked out.
Just when Yang Qian, who was lying on the ground, saw that Zhao Siniang's family was "defeated", he was complacent in his heart, and began to slowly get up, and the old man Zhang in this area hurried over.
Although I heard that Zhao Siniang's family, like these residents in the north of the city, is also an outsider, it has not been long since I arrived. But the Baiwei Hall opened by her family is not far from here, and among the four jurisdictions that she takes special care of is their willow branch workshop. It has a great influence on many neighbors in the vicinity.
Not to mention anything else, Old Man Zhang opened more than 50 pieces just by proving it, which means that in this area under his jurisdiction, there are more than 50 people who have received the favor of Zhao Siniang's family. Again. There are nine people in Baiweitang, and four of them are from them, which solves the livelihood problem of three or four families.
Now that Zhao Siniang's family has been bullied by the Ding family belonging to Liuzhifang, if he doesn't stand up and give an explanation, how can he uphold justice in this area in the future. Think about the worst again. If Zhao Siniang's family annoyed the Ding family, and even annoyed them in Liuzhifang, decided not to provide food to the fifty or so old people and children, or removed the local guys in Baiwei Hall, to say the least, half of the families would make a fuss. That way, he doesn't have to do it here.
"Master Zhao, I'm really sorry. We've got this kind of thing here, and in the end, I'm not doing it well. Nag that you ran this trip with the young master, I will compensate you here. "Say it. Old Man Zhang made a deep gesture towards Zhao Yongzhong.
Old man Zhang is older than Zhao Yongzhong and his father, how can Zhao Yongzhong accept his gift, and he is busy returning the gift.
Zhao Siniang was secretly amused when she saw that his father was coming and going with the people here.
Of course, she knew why this Zhang Lizheng was so polite, so she said bluntly that she would no longer hold the Ding family responsible, and she would never affect the operation of Baiweitang because of this.
Before leaving, Zhao Siniang said again: "By the way, Grandpa Zhang, our shop in the west of the city plans to add a dinner market from next month." This requires additional staffing. In addition, Chengxi Chunhuatang also intends to recruit another batch of guys. Let's see that most of the villagers in this neighborhood are hard-working, so they still want to recruit people from here. You are the right and respected in this area. Just ask me if there are any folks willing to do it. β
I heard that the owner of Baiweitang came, and then Li Zheng also came, and the residents who lived near here had received the favor of Zhao Siniang's family or not, but everyone who was at home came. Therefore, what Zhao Siniang said, Mr. Zhang was not the only one who heard it. Almost everyone heard it, and before she could finish speaking, there was a burst of cheers all around.
Many of them may not know much about the treatment of the men in the rich and noble places in the west of the city, but they all know that in Baiweitang, even if they do the lightest work such as making soup and closing the meals, they can get 30 big money a day, and they also pack two meals full of oil and water, which is much better than doing laundry and selling their strength in other places. Now that Zhao Siniang's family is willing to give them a chance, why don't they get excited?
Zhao Siniang looked at the crowd that had suddenly expanded several times, raised her voice and said, "If you are interested, you will come to Baiweitang at the eighteenth o'clock of this month, let's meet and have a good talk." β
There was an immediate chorus of echoes from the crowd.
Zhao Siniang's family left so simply, without embarrassing the Ding family at all.
But her family was willing to let it go gently, but Li Zheng felt that he couldn't go, and the villagers also felt that he couldn't go, so the crowd didn't disperse immediately.
To say that this Ding family fled from the outside with several fellow villagers, and it has not been a few months since they moved. There are seven members of the family β an old lady in her sixties, a couple in their thirties and their eldest son in his early twenties, and a younger son in his teens. In addition, there is a twenty-year-old daughter-in-law, who is about the child daughter-in-law of his eldest son, and she is always seen leading a six or seven-year-old child to do a work that can never be finished, and her face is either blue or purple.
It stands to reason that the Ding family is new to the family, and the population in the family is not too large, so it should not attract much attention. Although the child daughter-in-law is the life of being beaten and suffered, and there is no shortage of people in the vicinity who beat the child daughter-in-law, they have never been beaten to death like his family, and some bitter cries and begs for mercy will be faintly heard from his house at the end of three days. Second, since his family came, the neighbors have either lost a dog, or a chicken is missing, and I even heard that some people have lost money. Although except for this time, he has not been arrested before. But this Ding family, the old lady stays at home and doesn't work, the youngest son and his mother have a virtue, and they wander around the town every day. The eldest son is even more out of tune, and he is there a gambling game in ten miles and eight towns. The family relied on the child's father to work as a short-term job every once in a while, and the child daughter-in-law worked hard to wash clothes to make a living. It stands to reason that the money he earns can barely make ends meet, but the smell of meat always comes from his house, which can't help but make people suspicious.
This time, the Ding family boy was arrested and walked right, and it also confirmed other people's speculations about his family. The few families who had stolen the stolen goods were the first to stand up and demand that the Ding family hand over the stolen goods or compensate them.
Yang Qian saw that the situation was not good, so he planned to repeat the old trick.
It's a pity that these lost owners don't have the tolerant heart of Zhao Siniang's family, and they all plan to be more serious to the end. After all, the people who live in the north of the city are very poor, and losing some chickens and dogs is nothing to the rich and noble, but it is a great wealth for them.
So, a few sturdy women didn't say much, and directly held down Yang Qian, who was rolling on the ground, first blocking her mouth that kept howling, and then found a rope to tie her up. I wanted to do it with the boy of the Ding family, but in a blink of an eye, the kid ran away alone.
It didn't matter if he didn't catch it, and the owner didn't delay much, so he went directly into the house. It is estimated that the stolen goods will not be recovered, it doesn't matter, let's take other things to arrive, and soon there was a sound of rummaging through the cabinets in the house.
To tell the truth, every theft case is about catching a thief and taking the stolen goods. Since I couldn't hold the current situation at that time, and now I don't have real evidence, it's not good to go into people's homes and search randomly, let alone take other people's things casually. Normally, Li Zheng should stand up and stop this excesses.
But today, whether it was Lizheng or other neighbors, they didn't want to take care of it at all, so they watched the owners turn the Ding family upside down, and the anger in their hearts disappeared a little.
Everyone's anger is gone, but who should this Ding family find to vent when they are sulking? Needless to say, it was naturally his child's daughter-in-law who suffered.
Poor Xiao Yang squatted by the river and washed his clothes for a day, so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist. In the evening, she had to rush back to cook food, and she hurried back with a basin full of clothes, and was slapped by Yang Qian as soon as she walked into the door of Ding's house. Don't look at the old lady of the Yang Qian family, her hand strength is very strong, and she overturned the little Yang family with a basin to the ground with a slap. That's not all, she used her unusually powerful little feet to step on Xiao Yang, who couldn't stand on the ground, and also picked people's vulnerable places and kicked them violently. After a while, Xiao Yang let out a muffled whimper.
If she could, Xiao Yang also wanted to cry loudly, but her child was trembling not far away. Her incompetent mother can't take the child out of the cannibalistic place of the Ding family, so she can only try not to make a sad sound, lest the child can't help but pounce to save her.
Alas, her children are really not like the Ding family, too kind and filial. Although she repeatedly warned that she was not allowed to lean over when she was beaten, the child always threw himself at her, trying to use his young body to shield his mother from the cruel storm, and he did not change his original intention every time he was beaten.
Xiao Yang's motherly heart, but Yang Qian's treatment of the great-grandson who has been passed down from generation to generation does not have the slightest pity. No matter how hard the great-grandson begs, she will not be soft-hearted, and it is common for the great-grandson to fight together when the anger comes up, and she will not be soft-hearted when she is especially angry at this time. For a while, no matter how good Xiao Yang was at enduring the pain, he couldn't bear it, and the cry of pain gradually became louder. It is also mixed with the heart-rending cries of children, which is particularly unbearable to listen to. (To be continued.) )
