Chapter 34: The Thief (2)

Li Xin ran all the way to the village chief's house, but fortunately, it was not a busy farm now, so the village chief happened to be at home. Li Xin told the village chief that there seemed to be a burglar at home.

The villagers of Osmanthus Village are quite simple, and they have never heard of anything stolen from any family. Although the villagers occasionally quarrel and sometimes fight for some interests, there has never been a burglary for most of the day. When the village chief Li Changming heard this, he quickly stood up and went out with Li Xin.

When I arrived at the old laurel tree in the village, I saw a few village men chatting under the tree. The village chief shouted, and those people were also surprised when they heard that there were thieves in the village. You said that even if you encounter a robbery, you can still resist, if it is in the village, then shout, everyone will come to help, and there will not necessarily be any loss. But stealing is different, sneaky, who knows when the things in the house will be stolen!

It's still daylight and you dare to go to other people's houses to steal things, and if it's night, you can't steal all over the village! When the villagers heard this, they found some things and followed the village chief to Li Xin's house. Some of them carried their hoes, some took a stick, and some picked up a large stone from the ground. Some hurriedly ran to call the surrounding people, and when they arrived at the door of Li Xin's house, they were already a huge group of people.

Li Xin stepped forward to open the door and led everyone inside. There is still movement in the inner courtyard, and it seems that the two people have not left yet. Li Xin sneered in her heart, after this day, she wanted to see how the husband and wife still had the face to wander around. Originally, she didn't plan to care about the past, but she didn't expect that this shameless couple would still be thieves.

A group of people entered the weeping flower gate, bypassed the marble screen, and the scene in the courtyard came into view. The doors of the main house and the east and west wings were opened, and the contents could be seen to be messed up and messed up. And the yard has been dug up, and there are potholes everywhere. Because he thought that some flowers and trees should be planted in the yard, Li Xin only paved a path leading to the main house and the east and west wings with bluestone slabs, and the rest of the places were all land, but they were seriously hammered at that time, so it was the soil of the land, and it was also very smooth, and there would be no dust when walking on it.

But now there is still the previous leveling, and there are pits everywhere, and it looks like this is going to dig three feet into the ground! I don't know what those two people are looking for, and they actually made the yard look like this. At this time, Li Xin really wanted to carry a kitchen knife and stepped forward to cut the two of them a few times. Steal and steal! actually made her home look like this, such a person is really not a pity to die.

And in the main room, the two people who were burying their heads and searching everywhere had not yet noticed that so many people had entered the courtyard, and they were still seriously looking everywhere.

"Where did you say these little went to Dong**, they have searched for all the places they should be looking for, and they haven't seen anything! I almost dug up the vegetable garden in the back. The woman said.

"Forget it! It seems that I can't find it in this way, so let's go first! Don't let anyone find out. ”

"You're talking about light, that's a few hundred taels of silver! The big mansion in the county is gone. Ah, you said that I have been a cow and a horse for you for so many years, how much hardship I have suffered! Finally, I have a little hope, why is there no joy! "The woman actually had a tendency to cry, and she didn't get up as soon as she sat on the ground.

"What a howl, you're really afraid that others won't know! Let's go! Go back and figure it out. ”

"Figured out? What else can you do about this! ”

"There's always a way, it's just a few kids, and we can't do anything about them. Let's go! Recently, there have been a lot of people entering the mountains, but I don't want to think about the past, so I don't have to worry about people coming here. ”

"Okay, then let's go back first! Wait, bring everything, there's a lot of fabric, and by the way, there's some meat! They all moved back, and there will be that chicken back, the old chicken, and the soup must be very fragrant when it is stewed. ”

"Okay, since I haven't found anything, I naturally want something else to go back, and I can't come in vain."

The two of them said to themselves, naturally they didn't notice that in the courtyard, the village chief's face was green, and the villagers who followed behind were also full of righteous indignation. I've seen shamelessness, but I've never seen such shamelessness. Li Xin lowered her head slightly, she was looking forward to the next scene!

"I'll kill you shameless thieves." One of the villagers couldn't bear it anymore and rushed over with the thick firewood in his hand. Before the two of them could turn around, they were beaten by firewood on the head and in the face. The two of them were stunned for a while, where did they still think about resisting, but they were beaten by the sturdy fat.

"Drag people out." As soon as the village chief gave the order, the villagers rushed up, and three or two people subdued them. After a while, the two of them knelt in the middle of the courtyard, and the woman was still clutching a few pieces of fabric with an unrelenting expression. The two are Li Xin's second uncle and second aunt - Li Changgui and Yang Lianhua.

"The burglary is going to be sent to the yamen to make a board, don't you know?" The village chief sat on a chair and stared coldly at Li Changgui and his wife kneeling on the ground. Although he had known for a long time that these two people were not successful, he really didn't expect that they would do such a thing. turned out to be his cousin of the same kind, where did this make his face go?

"We already know it's wrong, cousin, don't send us to the yamen!" Hearing that he was going to send the yamen, Li Changgui also panicked. When you enter the yamen, you will have to retreat if you don't die! Playing the board must be indispensable, and I don't know how to be squeezed by those officials! Of course, he also knew that the burglary had to be sent to the yamen, but it wasn't that he didn't expect to be caught red-handed. Besides, he just went to his nephew's house once, what a crime, where he got to the point of sending him to the yamen.

"O village chief! You can't just let them go. In broad daylight, he dared to come to the door to steal, so bold, who knows which one he would steal. One villager said loudly, and the other villagers echoed suit. The most feared thing in the village is that there is a thief, and it is impossible to prevent it! It's okay at home, at least I can watch it. If you steal even the grain from the fields, how can it be good!

"Did you hear that? Everybody said so, where can I let you go. At this time, the village chief only felt that there was a fire in his heart that was burning more and more. This Li Changgui really doesn't know how to be a person more and more, doing such a thing already makes people grit their teeth with hatred, and he dares to call him cousin in front of so many people, isn't he trying to make him favoritism? If he is a little spared, he doesn't know how to be pointed at by the villagers!
