Liu Renli suddenly laughed, they have been sleeping outside for the past few days, and they really can't sleep when it's cold, looking at the old man and nodding.

"Then dare to be kind, let's follow the old man! By the way, uncle, I just saw a new grave in the east of the village, there is a woman in front of the grave, but she is dressed in gorgeous clothes, it is really a little strange, do you know that this woman is a person from the village? ”

The old man glanced in the direction of the east side, then glanced at Liu Renli, and his vigilant heart also relaxed, and he lowered his voice towards Liu Renli and said:

The woman's husband's name is Chen Xinrong, and her ancestors are from the village, but she moved to Wuqing County three years ago, and is said to have done a meat business, but she died of tuberculosis and returned to her hometown last month for burial. No one in this Yang village has ever seen it, but I heard Wu'er say that it was a woman who looked bewitching, and she came over when she was buried, and she didn't look sad, but Chen Xinrong's uncle felt that his nephew died strangely, so he went to the county to hand over the complaint, not only did he not understand, but he was also beaten, what happened, we don't know, it seems that it is May Seven today, and the return to the hometown is swept away. ”

Liu Renli was stunned, but he didn't expect that just looking at the woman's gorgeous clothes and sacrificial sweeps was a little different, and at this moment it was actually involved in the case, which made him a little surprised.

"The case was heard?"

"I really don't know if the case is interrogated when I go home and ask Wu'er, but his uncle seems to have gone to Tongzhou."

As he spoke, his footsteps did not stop, and several people followed the old man to the village, Liu Renli knew that the old man also heard it casually, and did not pay attention to it.

A few half-old children, running along at the entrance of the village, felt a little strange when they saw such a style of carriage, and the old man's face felt bright, and politely led Liu Renli and the others home.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Renli swept around, this old man's house can only be described as a family with four walls, the east wing seems to be half used to live, half used to pile up sundries, a girl who is about the same age as Xiu'er saw someone coming, and hurriedly got into the house.

The door of the west chamber was inserted, and the curtain was lifted to enter the main room, but there was a round table and a few chairs, all of which had paint off their heads, and the original color could not be seen at all.

The old man went to the back room and explained.

After a while, the old woman brought the best food in the house, but some cakes and pickles, some raw onions and radish, and of course the bag of jerky in the center.

Liu Renli asked Zhou Yi'an to take a pot of wine from the car, and the old man smiled even more when he saw it, and he became popular with a glass of wine.

Told the situation of the people in the village one by one, and Zhang Zhushu faced a few people on the side, and quickly recorded this in a small book, so that the understanding was much faster than the previous secret visit.

Halfway through the wine and food, Chen Laohan's son came back, and he was also surprised to see someone at home, but when he smelled the wine, he couldn't sit still, and Liu Renli didn't care about this, so he poured him a lamp.

Sanbei's face turned red, and he instantly opened the conversation.

"Although you are dressed ordinary, you don't have calluses on your hands, and you don't look like rough people when you talk and behave, so the government must have sent you here to investigate something, right?"

Liu Renli was stunned, he didn't expect this kid to think so much, but before Liu Renli could say more, he shook his head and continued:

"If there is anything you want to know, you can just ask directly, my father and mother gave birth to six children, I am the fourth, my sister is the sixth, except for the four of us who are dead, these dozens of acres of land, how can I feed so many people, don't hide it from you, I usually do this. My father doesn't know, if you're here to get me, don't alarm him. ”

Saying that, Chen Laosi gestured with two fingers, Liu Renli glanced at Zhou Yi'an, obviously Zhou Yi'an understood, and said a word to Liu Renli.

"Steal".

Liu Renli instantly realized, it seems that this Chen Laosi felt that they had arrested him, and he didn't think about struggling at the moment, after all, they were quite polite to Chen Laohan, so they told the truth with the strength of wine.

Liu Renli looked at Chen Laosi and shook his head slightly.

"It's not to arrest you, it's just that Uncle Chen chatted very well on the road, we gave him some jerky, and the old man didn't want to go, and wanted to invite us home to drink a hot tea."

Chen Laosi was stunned, and immediately grinned, helped the dizzy Uncle Chen, and sent the person to the back room, and then came back again, and approached Liu Renli with a mouth.

"Seeing that you don't look like a trader, so I think too much, but what do you want to check, you can tell me, maybe I can know a thing or two."

Liu Renli was not polite, picked up the wine jug and poured it for Chen Laosi, and then poured himself a glass, raised his glass to his lips, and looked at Chen Laosi.

"There is no investigation, I just want to see the farming in Tongzhou, if it is good, I will send people to collect grain next year, but I walked around and found that this place suffered from a snowstorm last year, sowing too late, and this year it suddenly cooled, the wheat froze to death, and the harvest was not enough for rations."

Chen Laosi sighed, "Natural disasters happen every year, I am in the county seat, I heard that the emperor Lao Tzu allocates funds to the affected areas every year, or reduces or exempts taxes, but we tenants cannot be benefited, and many people in the village either go to the capital to work for a certain job, or sell their children and daughters." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Laosi spat on the ground, with a look of disdain on his face.

"If you talk about it, the great benevolent person in my father's mouth is not the thing, he usually pretends to be a great benevolent person, and seems to take good care of the tenants, but in fact, he is the most black-hearted, and the food money allocated for disaster relief has been divided between them and the county order, and they also hook up with the husband of the woman on weekdays, and conspire to kill the husband of the woman together, I feel ashamed to think about it."

Liu Renli narrowed his eyes, put down the wine cup, approached Chen Laosi, and asked with a puzzled expression:

"How do you know this, could it be that you have seen that great good man?"

Chen Laosi nodded, groped around and took out a cloth bag, opened it carefully, and inside was a jade pendant.

"See, this is the jade pendant on Zhang Dashanren's sachet, seeing that the New Year is over, there is no rice in the pot at home, on October 20, I went to Wuqing County to get some food, along with the smell of meat, I touched a house, just loaded some rice grain and heard a sound on the back wall, I quickly hid in a house in the backyard. Who wants to come in with the sound of the door, I looked by the candlelight, this person is Zhang Dashan, I was stunned, the Zhang Dashan person into the house hugged the woman a bit of intimacy, the two of them chattered in the east house, I only then knew about last year's snow disaster had allocated disaster relief money to Tongzhou, but where have we seen? ”

Chen Laosi took another sip of the wine cup, with a frightened look in his eyes, and continued.

"I hid behind the screen in the Westinghouse and didn't dare to come out, thinking that I would come out again when the people were gone, but then I heard a whining sound in the room where I was, and I was scared silly, and I was just about to run away when I heard the woman's shouting, she ran over with a stick, and I quickly hid in the gap next to the bed, and the woman hit the bed a few times, and the whining sound weakened."

Liu Renli was stunned, he didn't expect that this Chen Laosi thief could encounter such a strange thing, and immediately put down the wine cup and listened carefully.

Then the great good man came in and said to the woman, "Your man is always half-dead and suffers like this, so it is better to give him a ride." Then, the great benevolent man asked the woman to prepare a small pot, he took off the big pot and threw it beside the bed, took out a piece of iron lump and threw it in the pot, saying that it was tin burned, and if it was poured down, the person would be gone, and there would be no injury on the surface, so it was good to bury it quickly. Then the two of them played for a while, the woman came back with a small pot, I was watching behind the screen, Zhang Dashan pressed the person on the bed, opened his mouth, the woman poured a pot of tin water, struggled for a while, the person did not move, I hurriedly hooked Zhang Dashan people on the couch, the jade pendant fell into my hands, as soon as the two went out to call someone, I was so frightened that I quickly escaped from the back window. ”

After speaking, Chen Laosi hurriedly took a sip of wine, as if recalling such a thing, and could still feel the horror at that time.

Zhou Yi'an couldn't sit still and hurriedly stepped forward, "Do you know who the deceased is?" ”
