Zuo Lichang was really afraid of fishing for something under the big puddle just now, if Huang Meiyu's body was fished out, then he estimated that he would have to lie down in the puddle immediately, and he would simply die.

If something happens to Huang Meiyu, then his father Zuo Laocai and his mother Zuo Auntie must not be able to escape the relationship, and they have no evidence to prove that Huang Meiyu was not killed by them, maybe they will really give Huang Meiyu his life.

So as a filial son, Zuo Li Chang might as well take all the charges himself, and simply commit suicide, which will save him from affecting the rest of the family.

Li Rizhi snorted and said, "It's good that you haven't caught anything, is there a place near your house where you can hide things like corpses, it seems that there are very few such places in this way!" ”

Xiaozuo Village is not a remote place, it is not very far from the county seat of Qianfeng County, and the land development is relatively sufficient, and there are not many places where people can be hidden.

But there are still woods between the village and the village, but the woods are not big, large beasts or anything, basically there are none, this is not a mountainous area, when adults scare children, they say that there will be wolves in the woods, but in fact there have been no wolves for many years, foxes are rare, and there are many weasels.

Although people did not understand what environmental protection was in this era, they did understand that if there were no forests near their homes, not only would they not have enough fuel for heating, such as dry firewood, but they would even find that the fields would become more sandy.

In other words, the best fertile fields can easily become inferior fields.

Although the people of this era could not say why this was and what was going on, they knew that there must be forests between the villages, even in the plains, there could be no large forests, but small forests still needed to be there.

Zuo Li pointed to the east, then to the south, and then he thought for a moment, and then pointed to the west and north, and said, "There are trees in these directions, but they are not big!" ”

Li Rizhi smiled and said: "Your point-and-mouth is equivalent to saying that there are trees in any direction, so there are too many places we have to search, and almost none of them have been ruled out!" ”

Zuo Li Chang smiled awkwardly, he climbed ashore and put on his shoes, he thought carefully, if his house was really robbed, then if the thief fled, which direction to escape was the least difficult for them to find.

At this time, Zuo Lichang's wife came back, Zuo Sanniang is not a bold woman, and her status in the Zuo family is not high, don't look at her husband has become the mayor, he is the most promising man in her family, but in fact, Zuo Niang doesn't take her seriously at all, how to support her, how to support her, and her attitude towards her is not at all like Huang Meiyu.

The main reason is that Zuo Sanniang's maiden family is just an ordinary family and has no background to be proud of, so if Zuo Sanniang is wronged in the Zuo family, there is no maiden family to rely on, so why should Zuo Niang take this third daughter-in-law seriously!

When Zuo Laocai and Auntie Zuo had a conflict with Huang Caizhu's house in front, Zuo Sanniang didn't know, she heard it very clearly in the back, but she didn't dare to go to the front yard to see the excitement, nor did she dare to find Huang Meiyu in the backyard, and she didn't dare to say something to Huang Meiyu or something.

For him, the conflict between the Zuo family and the Huang family belongs to the fight of immortals, as long as it does not involve her, a mortal, she is already thankful, as for participation, she has not even thought about it.

In this case, if you want Zuo Sanniang to have a positive attitude towards doing things, it is inevitable that she thinks too beautifully, at most she is the county magistrate to explain something, she will do it, and if she wants her to do a little more, it is simply impossible.

Li Rizhi saw that Zuo Sanniang was back, so he beckoned to her and called her over, Li Rizhi asked, "Is there anyone in the village who steals your chicken?" I don't think anyone will steal your chicken, and no one will be stupid enough to admit it! ”

Zuo Sanniang nodded hurriedly and said: "What the eldest lady said is that no one in the village stole my chickens, and every family went to see them, and no one had more chickens, and no one killed chickens, like chicken feathers or something, and they didn't find it, so no one should lie to me, no one stole my chickens!" ”

Zuo Sanniang replied like this, but in her heart she thought: "Is this county magistrate full of food, since he knows it, it is impossible for anyone in the village to admit to stealing my chickens, so why should I ask?"

He wouldn't be trying to imply that he wanted to eat my mother's **? If he wants to eat it, I'll make it for him, it's not bad, and I can still drink the soup when he eats meat! ”

Aunt Zuo is usually very picky, and she is not generous to her third daughter-in-law, so there is not much oil and water in Zuo Sanniang's stomach, she is different from Huang Meiyu, Huang Meiyu doesn't like to eat fatty meat, but she likes to eat fatty meat, and she is the kind of person who doesn't eat enough.

Li Rizhi didn't know what Zuo Sanniang was thinking in his heart, and he didn't care what Zuo Sanniang would think.

Li Rizhi then asked: "So, just now you went door-to-door to ask about the loss of chickens, did you find that there was anyone in the village whose expression was unnatural and worthy of your suspicion?"

If your husband asks, then people who have ghosts in their hearts may hide and disappear, but you asked just now, so if some people have ghosts in their hearts, they will not hide, but will probe you, have you found such people? ”

This kind of question is actually quite in line with the habits of country women, country women like to do the kind of leaning against the wall, chatting about things in the village, how is the family, and so on, country women are basically all like this, there are occasional exceptions, but it is obvious that this left third lady will definitely not be an exception.

Sure enough, the third lady of Zuo immediately gushed out, and her gushing was not to say that no one was suspicious, but that all the people in the village were suspicious.

Even, she even had to talk to Li Rizhi about the reaction of every household in the village, and she said it in quite detail, at this time, once she chewed her wife's tongue, she was not even afraid of being an official, and said fiercely.

Zuo Li Chang listened next to him, I really want to go up and slap her, do you need to be so verbose, do you need to say it to every family, I haven't spoken in a few lifetimes, and now I'm still verbose, and it's also verbose to the county magistrate, this mother-in-law is really underwhelming!

However, Li Rizhi listened very patiently to Zuo Sanniang's words, and if there was anything he didn't understand, he also interjected and asked, and Zuo Sanniang would answer in more detail.

After Li Rizhi listened, he gave Zuo Sanniang a thumbs up and said: "Lady of the Zuo family, very good, these things you just said are very helpful to the official, so that the official understands that the people in your village are actually not suspicious, and no one in the village has left, is that so?" ”
