Huang Bing shouted loudly: "Brother Huang, you are not afraid of crooked shadows, I support you." Tian doesn't know what to do, so I won't give her good fruit to eat. Sir Li, don't believe her mad dog biting people, we in Huangcun are all villagers, and it must be a bad thing done by outsiders taking advantage of the fog. ”

Huang Kaohao sighed slightly: "Hey, when I think of the suffering suffered by the Tian family, I can't bear to be ruthless, if I were more ruthless, I would have driven her out of the village a long time ago." ”

Huang Bing sighed: "Hey, Brother Huang is soft-hearted and so kind to all the villagers. After speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at Huang Kao, and the two couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Li Guolou knew from the smiles of the two that there must be bad people next to good people, and "Brother Huang" Huang Bing is the bad guy in Huang Village, otherwise how could he be in a righteous position, and all the things that oppress the people have Huang Bing come forward to do it. Then there is "Brother Huang" in the village Zhenghuang to be a good person, put a soft word to others, and the harmonious Huang Village will be harmonious.

Li Guolou asked: "Huang Cunzheng, junior brother asks you, has the Tian family offended anyone?" ”

Huang Kaohao shook his head and said: "No, no, absolutely not, who would dare to bully them as a lonely mother and daughter." I have exempted her family from hard labor, and although her life is not as good as that of wealthy people, it is much better than that of ordinary villagers, and there is no pressure. The long-term workers in my family will plow the land for her family, and someone will do the heavy physical work for her family. ”

The eldest wife, Huang Yishi, also helped and said: "My husband has done his best to Tian's benevolence, and I also send flower cloth to Huang Yinyin every year, treating her as my niece." Ay! Now that I have this field, I don't know what to say. ”

Li Guolou asked again: "Then Huang Yinyin is married?" ”

Huang Bing said: "No, Tian's family is not good, Yin Yin is only twelve years old, Tian is reluctant to find her in-law so early, how could she have thought that this kind of thing would happen." Ay! It would have been nice to know that it would have been married sooner. ”

In this era, there are child brides, and twelve-year-old brides are not uncommon, Li Guolou fell silent and drank sullen wine.

A jar of wine has bottomed out, and even Huang Kao's two wives can drink, much more powerful than Li Guolou, clinking glasses with each other on the side. The scene at the banquet was very good, and Jin Erzi kept drinking with Huang Bing.

Li Guolou walked to the side, where his two boxes were placed. Li Guolou was a little unexpected. The eater was short-handed, and when he came to the defendant's house to eat and live, he wanted to give Huang Kaohao a gift. Li Guolou is used to giving gifts to others, and he didn't think it was bad to do so. opened the box and took out a Western mirror and a bone fan, and gave them directly to Huang Kaohao.

said: "Huang Cunzheng, I'm sorry to trouble your family so late, this little meaning is not respectful." ”

It was originally a tradition of the Chinese people to exchange gifts, but Li Guolou's hand still made Huang Kao feel very faced.

Huang Kao smiled and said, "Chief Li is too polite, I have read countless people, and at a glance, I can see that your tutor is very good, which big family is from?" ”

Li Guolou was a little embarrassed and reported his own name, which was a bit overwhelming.

Jin Erzi interjected: "Huang Cunzheng, my chief has a lot of background, Li Zhongtang is his uncle, he just came back from the British Empire, and he doesn't understand the rules of the country. Huang Cunzheng, you don't have to be polite, and don't return the gift, he doesn't accept bribes. When we get back, you can bring me a piece of souvenir. ”

Li Guolou glanced at Jin Erzi, this kid drank too much, and began to his tail again, a little carried away, it seems that he still can't let Jin Erzi look good in the future.

Huang Kaohao got up and said happily: "No wonder, no wonder, I have made you a friend, you wait, I will go to the cellar to get a bottle of good wine, and we will drink white wine." ”

Li Guolou couldn't persuade Huang Kaohao to do well, so he could only watch Huang Kaohao step out of the dining room, carry an oil lamp alone, and go to the cellar to get the bottle of Jiannan Spring Wine in the cellar.

I was thinking in my heart: Huang Kao is too picky, Huang Kao Hao didn't even invite a single servant, invited them to drink, just drink this cheap big jar of rice wine. It wasn't until now that he gave a gift, and Huang Kaohao took out the good wine from the cellar.

Man! are all snobs, although the table is full of wine and food, but the table is full of chicken, duck and fish meat of the countrymen, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas eaten by the rich people in the city cannot be compared. This is already the life that the countryman envies the most, and he is no longer used to eating such greasy dishes.

The cold dishes on the table, Huang Yueshi put them on the charcoal stove next to them to heat them up, and turned them into warm dishes, and Huang Yishi ran to the kitchen to cook the last soup. Li Guolou suddenly felt that it was good to have two wives, at least he didn't see any discord between Huang Kao's two wives here. After drinking, the brain will be cranky, Li Guolou was a little fluttering and had a glass of wine with Huang Bing.

Huang Kao returned to the dining room with a stall of wine, the big belly wine jar was painted with a little boy wearing a belly pocket, and all the people at the table poured a glass of liquor, Li Guolou's task was to drink all the wine, and he didn't need to take a sip.

It's still okay to drink slow wine Li Guolou is still able to get his brain more and more sober, he looked at the jar of wine and had a weird idea in his heart. Is this possible? Liguolou's mind returned to the case, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he was cheering for himself, and he would always think of the results that others couldn't imagine. This is talent and providence, Li Guolou, who has strange ideas, looked at Huang Kaohao, who was squinting, the wine color is not separated, Huang Kao's eyes to the two wives are so eager, I hope they will have a noble son early.

Li Guolou raised his voice and said: "Huang Cunzheng, do you have a household registration in Huang Village here?" I'd like to study it in the evening. ”

Huang Kaohao was a little dissatisfied, and said: "I don't have anything at home, it's all in the village office, and I'll give it to you tomorrow." ”

Li Guolou hurriedly said: "Oh! No hurry, I can also look at the map here at night. ”

Huang Bing hurriedly said: "Chief Li is really self-denying and dedicated, and he is an example for us to learn." ”

Li Guolou said angrily: "Huang Baozheng, it seems that you haven't drunk too much, and the words you say have no taste, so I will punish you for another drink." ”

Forced by Li Guolou, Huang Bing only drank the wine in the wine glass in one sip. The people in the dining room became like old friends, and a drinking banquet made people feel no barriers. Li Guolou knew that he would pass unhindered in Huangcun, and no one would stop his movements.

Huang is good in the exam, will Huang Bing be a criminal? No matter how Li Guolou thinks about it, it is impossible for them to think about it, they are the masters of Huangcun, rich and powerful, and they are all people who want to save face. I didn't hear that they liked Huang Yinyin, let alone come to the door to propose marriage, of course, this is not allowed, and the same surname cannot be married. Huang Kao is good, Huang Bing can afford to buy if he likes little girls, there are many girls who sell themselves in this era, and there are parents who are greedy for money or can't afford to raise children to sell their children, which is what the government allows to do, and child daughters-in-law are prevalent, which makes this trend spread. At this time, the gap between the rich and the poor in the countryside was huge, and the poor people did not even have a cotton coat for winter. Muramasa Huang who has an official position and Baozheng Huang Bing are the soil emperors, but this is the territory under the jurisdiction of the Jingshi, and no one will think that they can be the real soil emperors. Huang is good, Huang Bing still wants to sell his reputation to buy a good reputation, they will not do anything that is rich and unkind, otherwise they will not let Huang Tian sell the land and will not retaliate against Huang Tian. Huang Kaohao and Huang Bing just said a few big words while drinking, and until now they have not killed Huang Tian's family.

Li Guolou knew that he was fighting a battle with a stranger, and how many secrets were hidden in the invisible night?

Li Guolou stood up, raised his glass, and said: "Thank you two friends for looking up to me, please help me a lot, I hope this trip to Huangcun can have amazing harvests." ”

Huang Kao rolled his big tongue and said, "It must be certain, since Chief Li regards me as a friend, then I will definitely try my best to help." Come! Let's toast together. ”

Even the two ladies stood up to drink the last glass of wine, and the atmosphere in the dining room was already full of spring.

Li Guolou glanced under the table, there were two feet that kept touching together, it was Huang Yue's clan who had re-found his direction and was attacking Jin Erzi.

Looking at Li Guolou's confident appearance, Jin Erzi shouted: "It's cool to follow Team Li, don't want me to send filial piety, you can still get benefits, I will follow you in the future!" ”

Li Guolou reluctantly touched the wine glass with Jin Erzi's wine glass, and no longer looked at Huang Yueshi next to him.

I was thinking in my heart: This kid is afraid that he will have an affair with Huang Yue's clan at night, and he has seen the actions of a pair of dog men and women under the table. No wonder Jin Erzi is five and six thin, it turns out that he likes to do this kind of thing, and he hollows out his body. It's a little strange why Huang Yue's family refuses to miss Jin Erzi's goods? Suddenly understood, Huang Yue's wanted to "borrow seeds"! Could it be that this is what Huang Kao is allowed to do? Li Guolou didn't dare to imagine it anymore.

Huang Kaohao's face became even more ruddy, his words were not clear, and his steps were vain and left the dining room with Huang Yi's support. Li Guolou stared at Huang Kao's two fluttering feet, with a sneer on his face, the dark human nature will always be seen through by him, but this has nothing to do with solving the case, he has more important things to do.

Li Guolou is alone in a bedroom, he did not sleep, but wrote handwriting on the desk, some words he wrote down in English, especially the characters, Li Guolou used ABC instead, so that writing a can speed up writing, and can not offend people when others see the notes, some words he uses broken sentences, others don't understand what it means.

Suddenly, Li Guolou suddenly came to his senses, and others joked that he was a spy of the British Empire! Isn't taking notes like this a self-confession? Li Guolou hurriedly erased all the English letters, and when people saw the notes, he could explain them clearly, and nothing was unseemly. At most, don't record some things, forget them. Li Guolou tore up the part where Jin Erzi and Huang Yue's flirt with each other.

After writing the notes, Li Guolou spread out the map of Huangcun that he took from Huang Bing, the map was very large after it was spread out, and it could not be placed on the desk at a glance, so Li Guolou spread it directly on the wooden floor, and he had already extinguished the stove. Li Guolou doesn't need a charcoal stove, this is a rural place that can't have excessive enjoyment of life, otherwise the cold wind outside tomorrow will be unbearable.

Carrying an oil lamp, Li Guolou looked at the map carefully, and he used a ruler to measure the distance between Huang Tian's family and the home of another missing little girl, Jinxiuyu. Li Guolou was still taking notes in the notebook, but he heard the delicate panting sound from Jin Erzi's room next door, Li Guolou took two balls of paper and stuffed them into his ears, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and his mouth was already secretly laughing, how could he encounter this kind of thing when he went out of the city to handle a case for the first time?

Do you want to take Jin Erzi with you when you go out to handle cases in the future? Li Guolou couldn't make up his mind, so he saw if Jin Erzi was a lucky star, he couldn't solve the case, and he said that he wouldn't bring Jin Erzi with anything. If he can solve the case, the eldest husband is not informal, what does he care?
