In fact, according to Li's guess in his heart, there is a high probability that something has happened in the city.

It's just that this incident doesn't happen very often, and the county order is deliberately controlling it, so these things haven't spread widely.

After all, in this era, it is not a good thing for officials to be arrested, most people want to be faced, and they are afraid of affecting their own reputation, even if something happens to the family and someone is arrested by the officials, they will cover it with their lives, and they will not make a big noise.

This also caused that even though there were many people in the city who had an accident recently, they were not noticed by many people, or they were noticed by others, and they did not attract the attention of many people.

That is, Li is sensitive by nature, and today is in a hurry, chatting with regular customers about these things, Li is vaguely not at ease, and ran out to inquire for a long time, which finally triggered her terrifying speculation.

Ay......

Sighing uncomfortably, Li touched the heartbeat that had calmed down, and only felt that it was fortunate that she went out today, otherwise, she might not have thought of this.

I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what happens, if there is really any danger in the future, their shop will also usher in the same crisis, now she knows it early, and she can take precautions as early as possible, so as not to fall into the fate of those people.

……………

The dinner was made by the Yuan family, and the Li family did not emphasize anything, so the dinner was made simply.

Home-cooked brown rice and egg soup are on the table, and some snacks that haven't been sold out of today are placed around.

Several children didn't like today's meal very much, but they knew that the atmosphere was not right at the moment, and the little ones were warned by the big ones, and they ate obediently with their heads down with their chopsticks in their hands, without making noise.

Because of the bad expression on Li's face, everyone tried not to talk much, except for the occasional necessary communication, everyone basically kept a quiet pace.

The children were the first to finish eating, and then they were sent back to the backyard by Li's words.

Zhao Yu still wanted to stay when she saw this, because her hot and sour noodles hadn't been said yet.

But where is the situation good at the moment, the Yuan family is afraid that Zhao Yu will make a mistake, which will provoke the Li family to be scolded, so he is busy giving her a look.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu also knew that the current situation was not right, so he could only lament in his heart that the situation was not right, and then bowed his head and left.

There were only four adults left in the shop.

Zhao Yinyan was a little hesitant, seeing that it was time for her to go home.

Can......

Looking at the Li family, who lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, Zhao Yinyan glanced at Zhao Shanyu helplessly, and said in her heart that in her mother's state, she couldn't open her mouth to leave.

Zhao Shanyu could only signal Zhao Yinyan to be restless, while he was thinking about how to ask something.

As a result, before he could speak, Li spoke.

Li didn't say anything, only told Yuan to take a look at the backyard to see if the children had all returned to the house, and asked Zhao Shanyu to check whether the windows around the shop were closed or not, and if they were not closed, they should be closed tightly.

When the three Yuan families heard this, their hearts sank, and they all got up and took action.

According to Li's words, Yuan went to the backyard to check on a few children, while Zhao Shanyu was responsible for checking whether the windows around the shop were closed tightly, and Zhao Yinyan directly cleaned up the finished meals on the table and brought them into the kitchen.

After completing the things that Li had ordered, the three of them returned to the table and sat down.

Li raised his head, swept his cold gaze over the three people in front of him, and spoke, "I'm afraid you won't believe what I'm going to tell you now,"

"But it doesn't matter, I say, you just keep it in mind, don't say it outside, if it doesn't happen that's the best, once it happens, you can also have a mental preparation."

Seeing that Li's words were so serious, Zhao Shanyu's faces were obviously pale, Zhao Shanyu was fine, his face was still stable, Zhao Yinyan and Yuan's two women were not, they were frightened by Li's words and clenched their hands tightly, and their expressions were flustered.

"Mother, what the hell is going on," Yu Guang looked at Zhao Shanyu of the other two, and he also beat a drum in his heart, "Could it be that it is our shop?" ”

Without his knowledge, something happened to the shop?

Zhao Shanyu used his brain, and guessed wildly in his heart.

Hearing this, Li nodded, and then shook his head again, "It has something to do with the shop, but to be precise, it has something to do with us in the shop." ”

This was a bit of a twist, and Li Shi didn't wait for the three of them to ask, so he continued, "I'm not going out this afternoon, I'm going to find out the news,"

Saying that, Li explained again why she went out to find out the news.

"You should still remember the Zheng butcher's family on the main street in front, there was an accident at his house before, I bought a lot of pork, at that time, his mother-in-law could sell it because she wanted to scrape together enough money to go to the county government to fish for people,"

"Today, I chatted with a few regular customers in the shop who often come to buy snacks, and listened to a few people chatting about the shops around me,"

"These regular customers all said that there was more than one incident like the Zheng butcher a few days ago, and there were as many as five or six cases in August."

Having said this, Zhao Shanyu and the three of them are still a little foggy.

Although when he bought the meat, when the Li family came back, he briefly described what happened to the three of them, but after all, at that time, the Li family only cared about the meat and did not say much detail, so that the three Yuan family were a little ignorant of the details.

It was Zhao Shanyu who reacted first, who let him be dragged by the Li family and go to Zheng Butcher's pork shop to get pork.

"Mother, do you mean to say that there have been five or six cases of people like Butcher Zheng who have been taken away by the officials this month?"

"Yes, these people are all shopkeepers in the city."

Zhao Shanyu frowned when he heard this, and said in his heart that this thing is really weird.

How did you catch these people?

However, the Yuan family didn't think there was anything wrong here, wasn't it that he was arrested by the officials, and it was not common in the city.

Zhao Yinyan shook her head, "Second sister-in-law, of course this is not common, do you know that the arrest of the official is also about evidence, and you can't just arrest it." ”

"Then these people must have committed a crime, and the officials are not arresting people casually," Yuan asked rhetorically, while looking at Li on the side.

Li nodded lightly and continued, "These shopkeepers have indeed committed crimes, but they are all trivial things, for example, if there is a family that sells pastries, they love to lack catties and two, but the lack is not obvious, and many customers will scold, but they will not sue the official,"

"In the past, the government wouldn't care about this matter, but now it's unusual, this person was arrested because of a lack of catties."

After hearing this, the three of them were all surprised.

Twisting his eyebrows, Zhao Shanyu continued, "Mother, are all these people you said arrested for this kind of thing?" Suddenly, the sense of disobedience in his heart became even heavier.

Zhao Shanyu said in his heart, this shouldn't be, if this kind of thing has to be arrested, then those people who are good at gambling and stealing in the west of the city should all be arrested?

He used to sell fried soybeans in the north of the city, but he didn't often meet this kind of people, all of them were very nourishing, and he didn't see the county government send officials to arrest people.

Recently, there are also people from the west of the city who came to buy it in the shop, but he hasn't heard that those gamblers in the west of the city have been arrested.

Why, they love to have an accident when they are close to the alley of Main Street.

"It's all about the same, yes, it's just a few quarrels with customers," Li told Zhao Shanyu the reason for his inquiry.

At the same time, both Yuan and Zhao Yinyan also heard it.

Both of them were surprised, Yuan was simply surprised by things, and Zhao Yinyan was surprised by something.

"Mother, there must be something greasy in this!"

Zhao Shanyu said a word to the Li family categorically.

Li Shi also nodded, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have talked so much to you,"

She just listened to others and felt that something was wrong.

At this time, Zhao Yinyan also hurriedly interjected, "Mother, I remembered,"

Li raised his head and looked directly at the other party, "What do you think of?" ”

Zhao Yinyan pointed to the table next to her with an excited expression, "Not only this month, but last month, there were also several cases of arrests by government officials, because there was a person who lived in our alley, not far from Butcher Zheng's house, we only knew." ”

"Did the man come out?"

"No," Zhao Yinyan shook her head, "There's no movement at all now,"

"Mother, you ask like this, is it that Butcher Zheng didn't come out?" Zhao Yinyan looked at Li with blazing eyes.

"That's right, Butcher Zheng's mother-in-law is going to sell the shop, and when I came back, I saw that the exchange slips were all pasted."

This......

"What the hell is going on?"

Zhao Shanyu scratched his head, only feeling that this matter was too complicated.

Li didn't say, but asked Zhao Yinyan, who had been living in the city, "Do you know, when did the arrest of the officials begin?" ”

Zhao Yinyan tilted her head and thought about it, and said with some uncertainty, "It seems to have started in early June, and I can't remember the specifics, anyway, someone must have been arrested in late June." As she spoke, she nodded affirmatively.

Because at that time, she also went to see the excitement.

Li Shi got the words, touched his chin and began to think, June, what was there at that time?

In June, they were still selling fish in the countryside, and as for the reason for selling fish...... That's right!

Li Shi was stunned for a moment, followed by his eyes widening, and began to get excited.

At that time, it was when the news of the endowment came out.

At that time, Xia Fu was also advanced, and the next thing was that people were panicking, and the officials went to the countryside to start collecting taxes and levying troops and arresting people......

After Li strung together a long line in her mind about what had happened in June, she was shocked to find that Zhao Fuxiang might have guessed correctly.
