I haven't eaten since the morning, this looks like the sun is overhead, how can I not be hungry, Liu Shi has no heart to eat.

After only a few bites of food, there was another knock on the door outside the courtyard.

"Is your grandpa back?" Liu Shi hugged Chen Zhen tightly in shock, looked a little flustered, and looked at Chen Ping, "This will be fine, right?" ”

His face was pale with nervousness, and the back of his palms showed muscles. Chen Zhen in her arms also seemed to feel different, her small mouth was deflated, the rabbit meat spit twice, and she was reluctant, and swallowed the rabbit meat with tears.

"How can it be so fast, mother, you eat, I'll open the door." Chen An put down the dishes and chopsticks and went to open the courtyard door.

Outside the door are Chen Ya's mother and son.

"Aunt Wang, Xiaoya, you came just in time, I just cooked this meal, let's eat together." Chen Ping said with a smile.

Wang held a box in his hand, and did not enter the house, but gave the box to Chen An.

"Hold, you might be able to use the stuff here." Wang stuffed the box into Chen Ping's hand, and it was quite heavy, "I won't go in, I've eaten it all." ”

After speaking, he looked down at Chen Ya beside him.

"Xiaoya, what's wrong?" Chen Ping probably guessed what was in the box, and he didn't shirk it, grabbed it, and looked down at Chen Ya, "Why are you crying?" Is it that eating rabbit meat didn't call you, and you are angry? ”

Chen Ya's eyes were red, and when she came, Chen Ping thought she was blind, and it seemed that she had cried before.

"I heard them say you killed someone, and someone is coming to arrest you." Big tears ran down the corners of Chen Ya's eyes, "Run, no one will be able to catch you if you run." ”

This stupid girl, Chen Ping smiled, reached out and wiped Chen Ya's cheek: "I'm going to run away, who will tell you a story?" ”

"It's okay, you go to the Liuhe Mountain and hide, and when I bring you food, you can tell me a story." Chen Ya had already thought about it, and said seriously, "Hurry up, those people are coming." ”

Chen Ya also did not forget to remind: "It's winter, it must be cold in the mountains, you have to bring more clothes, and the quilt is also good to bring, I have a quilt at home, I'll bring it for you." ”

As she spoke, Chen Ya turned around and was about to run back.

Chen Ping hurriedly grabbed her and pointed to Wan San in the courtyard: "Don't hide, those people are here to arrest him, do you see?" I tied him up. ”

"Really?" Chen Ya's eyes widened, staring at Chen Ping, wanting to see if she was lying to her.

"Of course it's true, am I going to lie to you? If you don't believe it, ask Aunt Wang. ”

Chen Ya turned her head to find Wang to confirm, Wang nodded her head slightly, but Chen Ya didn't see the melancholy in her eyes.

"Yes, when the county magistrate comes over and takes this person away today, I'll tell you a story, okay?" Chen Ping finally smiled when he saw Chen Ya, raised his head and said to Wang, "Thank you, Aunt Wang, you don't have to worry, I'm fine." ”

"Well, I know, you have the ability, you are better than Chen Ya and her grandfather, be careful." Wang nodded and led Chen Ya away.

Chen Ya walked a few steps without looking back, and saw that Chen Ping was still at the gate of the courtyard, so she laughed, Chen Ping raised his hand and waved, until Chen Ya's mother and son turned into the corner of the village house and couldn't see it, Chen Ping closed the courtyard door and entered the hall with the box.

"What's in there?" Lai Lian saw the wooden box and asked, "It can't be silver, right?" ”

"Why are you so smart? Yes, it's silver, do you want to go into the house with me and count it?" Chen Ping said.

Lai Lian snorted, ignored Chen Ping, and continued to deal with rabbit meat.

Chen Ping didn't sit down, he entered the east room with the box, closed the door, and opened an iron buckle on the box, which should be locked, but now the lock was taken by the Wang family.

"Aunt Wang's family is really rich." The lid of the box was opened, and there was a column of silver inside, white and bright, all silver cakes, with a diameter of three or four centimeters, Chen Ping took them out one by one and placed them on the bed.

I counted them carefully, and there were actually as many as twelve.

"Rich, really rich."

This silver cake is not the silver dollar coin, there is no mark on it, it should be directly cast from a mold, and the thickness has reached half a centimeter, one should have about one tael, twelve, that is, a full twelve taels.

"How can there be so much silver in Aunt Wang's family?" It is not a simple matter to have silver in itself, not to mention that there are so many at one time, it seems that it is still deliberately cast into a silver cake, with this net worth, it can be a household in Baitu Village, and it is probably not worse than the family assets in Aunt Li's family.

There are secrets.

Chen Ping felt that this should be the case, but this kind of thing is not easy to ask, so he put the silver cake back into the wooden box, and then moved the cabinet, lifted the wooden board, and put the wooden box inside.

Just as he was about to put the cabinet back in place, Chen Ping suddenly paused, opened the wooden board again, took the wooden box, went out of the east room, entered his room, and found a hidden place under the bed to hide the wooden box.

After doing all this, Chen Ping returned to the hall.

"Boy, I didn't eat yesterday, and now I'm hungry, can you let me eat something?" Passing by the stone mortar in front of the hall, Wan San tilted his head and said, "Also, can you take this black away from me." ”

Hei Yu arched to the ground, and occasionally used his nostrils to touch Wansan, a smell.

"When you get to the prison, you will naturally have something to eat." Chen Ping glanced at Wansan and sat back at the table by himself.

On the one hand, there was the smell of Hei Yan's body, and on the other hand, the smell of meat came from the hall, and those boys ate rabbit meat faster than one another, and one was more ruthless than the other, and Wan San swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva.

"Wait, when Li Yingxing comes, all the rabbit meat hanging in your house is mine, and I want you to spit it out in this yard. Boy, you'll regret it. Leaning up to his sore neck, Wan San scolded in a low voice, turned his head, and faced Hei Yan.

The smell of this fishy smell is better than the smell of meat.

After eating, cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Chen Ping split two bamboos in the courtyard, and the movement outside the courtyard suddenly became bigger.

"It's time to come." Chen Ping hurriedly opened the courtyard door, looked along the road, and saw a group of people walking towards his yard.

An ox cart, Chen Yuanliang sat on it, on the side of the ox cart was a horse, and immediately sat a person, in his thirties and forties, wearing a crimson robe, except for a long knife, there were no extra ornaments.

"This person should be that Li Yingxing." Behind the man on horseback were a few white straight, holding wooden sticks in their hands, and the villagers were also surrounded from a distance, and Chen Ping opened the courtyard door a little.

The horseman arrived in front of Chen Ping's courtyard, dismounted, and looked at Chen Ping, who was standing respectfully at the door, with an expressionless face, and then landed on Wan San in the courtyard, his expression moved slightly.

"County Lieutenant Li, this is Chen Xiaoyi's family, and the person tied up on the stone mortar is Wan San." The lieutenant came to Dongxi and said.

Sure enough, it was Li Yingxing.

"What about the other one?" Li Yingxing didn't rush into the courtyard and asked.

"It was Liu Shan, an accomplice of Nawansan, who was placed outside the village because he died." Two thieves, one dead and one arrested, this was told to Li Yingxing in the county, Lai Dongxi asked, "Do you want to carry that corpse over?" ”
