Chapter 194: The Truth About Gong Burning and Eating the Dead
The conscience of the people in the village was picked up after the death of Zhou Fuzi, knowing that their family did not have much savings, and every family spontaneously pooled a lot of silver taels for Zhou Fuzi's funeral.
In the end, he is the most learned and decent person in the village, Zhao Xiaoxi donated five taels, and Sister-in-law Fu and Aunt Li donated three taels.
Every household is either a few dollars or a few dollars, and they are all considered to have done their best. The previous prejudice against Linghe was also temporarily put aside because of the death of Master Zhou.
Those who donated a lot of silver taels were left except for those who did funerals. The big guys unanimously decided that the silver should be given to Ling He to live.
After the funeral, the servants in the town's yamen also returned to the town.
Fortunately, the weather was not hot, the body did not decompose, and the digestive system in the body did not function after death. What is in the stomach can still be clearly understood.
Zhao Xiaoxi was looking forward to the results early in the morning, and sure enough, good news came from the yamen the next day.
After verification, it was proved that this person had never eaten dorayaki. As for why and when he died, there are also basic estimates.
It turned out that the man had a thirst-quenching disease, and he had seen it with the doctor in the town before. I prescribed a few prescriptions, and I took them twice when I was sick, but then my family was poor, and I couldn't afford this recipe.
A few days ago, someone in the town married their daughter and opened a few tables of banquets.
Wang Erhan also went to eat a few cups, he was a greedy cup master, and quietly stole two pots and went back.
It was already May, and although the weather was already very warm, it rained one after another in those days, and the temperature difference between day and night was relatively large.
It's not the first time this has happened in Fengle Town. But Zhao Xiaoxi was very unlucky, and he didn't know how many people were targeted, so someone used this dead body to charge Zhao Xiaoxi's family with such a crime.
There are many things that can't be found, but Yuan Batian also began to meddle in this matter, almost disturbing Wang Erhan's eighteenth generation of ancestors.
Later, I found out that several gentlemen who had a little friendship with Wang Erhan before, just the ones who carried the corpse that day, and also found out that after Wang Erhan's death, those gentlemen had come and gone in Fengle Village several times.
Xian Sensei said what they were going to do in Fengle Village, anyway, the dirty water on Zhao Xiaoxi's head was washed up at this point.
"It's a thing of the past." Sister-in-law Fu was washing vegetables in the yard, and she said and laughed at Zhao Xiaoxi against the fence wall: "Although things are a little slower in the yamen, fortunately, they are fair." We still have Yuan Daguan to help investigate, and in a few days, we will definitely be able to find out the troublemakers. ”
"It's strange to say that this man is really strange, I have made money, and it is good to have made a small fortune. But I also made a fortune with the people in my village, didn't I? I really don't understand, what is the mind of the person behind me? If I don't have a business, won't the big guys be able to live a good life? ”
"Some people are just like that, and we can't do it. This time, you asked Linghe to help in the shop, and the mother-in-law in the village didn't say anything on her face, but she didn't know how angry she was. Everyone looks down on her, and thinks you look down on people, obviously you know that it is because of Master Zhou's face, don't they still have a lot to say? Sister-in-law Fu smacked her lips, looked at the sky, and shook her head: "If you want me to say, let them do whatever they do and say, let's live our lives well." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Xiaoxi smiled, knowing that Sister-in-law Fu was relieving her, but she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Doesn't it mean that the countryman is simple-minded? Doesn't it mean that the people in the villages and towns are simple? Why is my heart broken now?
But fortunately, there are still good people in the town, Yuan Batian is as harmonious as the women's director, and he also cares about Zhao Xiaoxi's kindness to their family's concealer, and is willing to get to the bottom of it and return Zhao Xiaoxi's innocence.
Otherwise, this hurdle really can't be passed, and the villagers finally let go, the foul face two days ago can be regarded as invisible, and they are calling Zhao Xiaoxi affectionately.
In the end, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't bother to bother with them.
led the helpers in the shop to sing double reeds, as long as they can make money, they can do anything.
It's just that after this incident, Zhao Xiaoxi also began to be defensive of the people in the town, anyway, he started to play Tai Chi, the enemy didn't move, I didn't move, a heart was completely in my stomach, and it was not as hearty and lungs as before.
The truth was revealed two days later, Yuan Batian took a dwarf winter melon to Zhao Xiaoxi's shop. As soon as Sister-in-law Fu saw that person's face, they were shocked, wasn't that Xiao Shengqian? This is Brother Xiao Jingrui! What's going on?
"It was he who instigated those men to splash dirty water on Zhao Xiaoniang's body, and he hid it really deeply. If I hadn't sent someone to keep watch in the dark day and night, I wouldn't have caught him. Yuan Batian said that he didn't forget to kick him hard, obviously because he didn't know the relationship between Xiao Shengqian and Zhao Xiaoxi: "With a person like him, he dares to insult our little lady Zhao, isn't this looking for death?" ”
"Uncle, it's really you!" Zhao Xiaoxi didn't smile, and slowly stepped forward. With a pair of eyes, he looked at Xiao Shengqian directly: "We are all members of the old Xiao family, and we are much better than others in the ability to be in the shadows behind our backs." What's up? Is it our second room, I'm sorry I can't live in your big room, or what's wrong? Are you going to use this method to harm me? ”
"I don't." Xiao Shengqian had already made up his mind not to admit it, and sneered at Zhao Xiaoxi's doll-like face, humming and chirping for a long time: "It's you, helping others bully their own uncle?" It's up to you to make it. Hurry up and let him let me go, otherwise my mother will definitely not spare you. ”
"Mother-in-law?" Zhao Xiaoxi sneered, and couldn't help but feel disgusted when he saw Xiao Shengqian's face: "Okay, you just let your mother-in-law come over!" I'm going to see what you two have to do. Otherwise, for the sake of fairness and justice, let's call all the people in the village over and listen to how you two bullied our second room! ”
Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi's battle, Xiao Shengqian was completely stunned, shrunk for a long time, and didn't let go of a fart: "Xiao Er's family, don't think about bullying honest people." What am I doing wrong? Did you see that I and those people had harmed you? ”
"Yuan Daguan has always been very fair, if he can bring people out casually, then it would be strange! I don't bother to talk nonsense with you, you either go to the yamen to state the facts yourself, or I will send you in, beat you to death without forgiveness, let you eat a few days of labor, and sober up. ”
"You dare! I'm your uncle! Xiao Shengqian was about to jump, and his heart was also beating with fright.
He has lived for so many years, and he can be regarded as a "rampant" life in the village, if it weren't for Zhao Xiaoxi's sudden success, his life would not be so embarrassing, everything is Zhao Xiaoxi's fault, everything is the fault of the second room.
Suspicion gives rise to darkness, he is jealous and gives birth to ghosts, and he is troubled every day.
Before, he and Ah Zhen tried their best to talk to Zhao Xiaoxi about buying shares, but people didn't look down on their big house, although they didn't sneer at it, but the tone was really bad.
Xiao Sheng was angry, thinking that he wouldn't be able to reap the benefits of the second room anyway, rather than this, it would be better to ruin Zhao Xiaoxi's shop.
This scene has been sung so far, and the sword has gone sideways, and it can't be rounded.
Xiao Shengqian was afraid of it, so he only knew how to deny it. However, Yuan Batian is a living Yama, and there are all kinds of torture tools in the casino below, as long as Xiao Shengqian hears the names of those torture tools, he will be scared to pee his crotch.
"That's okay, you're the eldest brother, you're a master. I don't plan to do anything to you, so let's do it, Yuan Daguan, this person is thick-skinned, if we have something to do with him, I don't know what will happen in the future! In this way, let's send him directly to the yamen, and judge the case for the Qingtian master. I also suspect that the rumors in the town before also have something to do with him, maybe there is also his own mother. Zhao Xiaoxi was not angry at all, squinting his eyes and laughing, he almost didn't beat the gong and drum to send Xiao Shengqian off.
As soon as this matter was revealed, the wind in the town immediately changed. There were still many people who didn't know Xiao Shengqian and Xiao Wang's before, but now they are all bright. Everyone said that Zhao Xiaoxi was unlucky, and he had such a disgusting mother-in-law and uncle.
As for Xiao Shengqian, he was directly slipped to the yamen by Yuan Batian. Because the previous men who committed perjury did not get the promised silver taels from Xiao Shengqian, they also began to have infighting, went to court, and confessed. But indirectly put all the blame on Xiao Shengqian.
"Lord Qingtian, Little Lady Zhao is a noble person in our town. If these pests damage our little lady Zhao, it's not worth it! "Yuan Batian's old domineering words are serious, if they are left in normal times, An himself will not listen to him, but now, there is such a uproar, he can't turn a blind eye.
"That's right, Xiao Shengqian, you are guilty." He was ruthless and glared at Xiao Shengqian, who was kneeling at the bottom: "Zhao Xiaoxi is your younger brother and sister, you hurt her like this?" Slandering others alone is enough to get you a month's worth of jail time. Did the rumors in the town have something to do with you before? ”
"I didn't ...... No. Xiao Shengqian was so frightened that he peed his pants, trembling all over, his eyes were red, and he was urinating: "Lord Qingtian, Lord Qingtian spare your life!" I really knew I was wrong this time, and I would never do such a bastard thing in the future. Master Qingtian spared the villain this time, I don't dare anymore. ”
"Who knows if he dares or not, Lord Qingtian, such a person can even use other people's dead bodies, and he may kill people in the future." Yuan Batian didn't think it was big enough and continued to add fuel to the fire.
When An was preparing to convict Xiao Shengqian on his own, two mothers-in-law, an old man and a young woman, rushed in directly and pounced on Xiao Shengqian's body straight up.
