Xia Qiu was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, in the memory of the original owner, it seems that during that time, people came to the door one after another to find the second uncle, and they all came to the door with suppliers. As for what they talked about, I don't know.

The Xia family is so poor that they have a bare ass, and they eat a lot when they open their mouths, so their minds are naturally active, and they do a lot of things to fill their stomachs, and they have a very bad reputation in the village, and they are very unpopular.

The only thing that made the village look up to it was the time, when the sky-high price of labor was recruited.

At the time, she didn't think much of it, but now it seems that nothing is right.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and Xia Lao Er is afraid that it will be a big deal.

The onlookers learned that the deceased was a laborer who went to Yongding County, and the middleman was Xia Laoer, who had a part in the construction of the family, and immediately exploded, surrounded the Xia family, and excitedly asked if the Xia family was murdering for money?

No wonder the villagers are in a hurry, according to the previously budgeted construction period, they should have come back half a year ago. They also thought that the construction of the fortifications was huge, that it was possible to overdue, and that the wages were high, so they didn't think much about it.

But now that someone has died, and there is no news of their relatives, it is strange that they are not crazy. Those laborers are the pillars of the family.

Some of them were out of control, grabbed Old Man Xia's collar suddenly, and shouted with red eyes: "Are you taking people's dirty money and harming my dog's life?" ”

"The conscience of heaven and earth, my Xia family is honest people, how dare I be a person who seeks money and kills, and my second son also went to work on the dam, do I want to harm my family's life?"

It was the butcher in the village who did it, with a fat waist and a round waist, full of evil energy, and carrying the thin old man Xia like a chicken.

"How do you hit someone?"

There were a lot of Xia family members, and they immediately rushed forward to pull Old Man Xia back, who knew that the other party was not afraid, and they started to do it when they were arguing.

"You still have a fucking conscience?" The butcher spat on Xia Lao's face, pointed at his nose and scolded, "Even my own granddaughter dares to stuff the coffin to sell ** heartless goods, why don't you dare to cheat our money?" My son gave you ten catties of pork for this errand, which is worth at least 200 yuan......"

"Yes, yes, my family also gave three hundred Wencai a place to change."

"Xia Lao Er clearly said that he went, but who knows?" The villagers ridiculed the Xia family, and the more they thought about it, the more extreme they became, "Maybe they took our money and hid outside to be chic and happy." ”

The second daughter-in-law said excitedly: "No, my man won't......" There are still four babies waiting for him to raise at home, how could he not come back.

According to the recruitment of 100 people, each person will have at least 200 wen of filial piety money, which is enough for 20 taels.

Twenty taels, for the impoverished Xia family, there is indeed a suspicion of seeking money.

This can also be explained, they dare to blatantly stuff Xia Qiu alive into the coffin. is cold-blooded and ruthless to his own blood relatives, let alone others.

What's more, this matter was brought forward by Xia Lao Er from beginning to end, and no one had ever seen the financier who contributed the money, which was too strange.

The Xia family was pushed to the cusp of the storm, subjected to everyone's fingers, and looked like they were about to be beaten by the group, but the people in the yamen had no intention of stopping it.

Zhou Bantou did this, in addition to being angry for Xia Qiu, he also wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get some news.

After all, it is easy for people to tell the truth when their impulses are out of control.

"Xiao Jiu, can you say something for us, just let them bully us?" It's still Mrs. Xia's quick comprehension, hundreds of people have not returned within the time limit, if something really happens, the Xia family can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River, and the only one who can administer justice for them is Xia Qiu.

As long as she is willing to come forward, these people will not dare to mess around.

Lu Tingxiu listened to Mrs. Xia's words, and his eyes turned to Xia Qiu.

Xia Qiu spread his hands and said with an innocent face: "Don't count on me, the Xia family has never treated me as a human being." I live in the pig barn, do you think they talk about anything that will let me know? ”

She was stinky, and the Xia family didn't let her get close at all, so she knew very little.

Lu Tingxiu said with interest: "Your second uncle, is it for money and murder?" ”

Xia Qiu was a little suspicious, "Others are greedy, but it is impossible to make up nonsense and kill hundreds of lives for the sake of twenty taels." ”

For this fortification, the owner of the fund first paid 20% of the wages. According to the calculation of a year, it takes seventy-two taels, and this business is simply a loss, not to mention that if the Xia family can get this money, why should they deceive twenty taels.

However, Xia Qiu didn't plan to let go of the Xia family, such a good opportunity, I couldn't sleep without biting two bites.

She opened her throat and suddenly raised her voice, "Grandpa, grandma, this matter is related to hundreds of lives, and it is reasonable for the villagers to be anxious, so you should be honest and don't help the abuse." ”

Even Xia Qiu didn't dare to favor his own family, and the villagers felt even worse, so they were so anxious that they directly started with the Xia family.

"You damned brutes, give back the life of my dog."

"If my son is missing a cold hair, I will not be finished with your Xia family."

"Kid and father, why did you believe in these evil spirits in the first place......"

The scene was chaotic, the villagers were overwhelming, and no matter how fierce the Xia family was, they were outnumbered, and they suffered a lot of punches and kicks.

If it weren't for the presence of the government, the villagers would not dare to move their lives, for fear that they would have died.

Women, it is nature to repay the tooth, and Xia Chubby is adding fuel to the fire.

Lu Tingxiu ripped her, and then gave Zhou Bantou a look.

"Whatever kind of coax you make, let me disperse, and if you dare to make trouble, you will be arrested and returned to the yamen." Zhou Bantou stood forward and shouted with a black face: "This murder case, the yamen will thoroughly investigate to the end, and give justice to the deceased, how can you know the law and break the law." ”

It is a matter of the lives of their relatives, and the villagers are unwilling to hold on to the Xia family.

Zhou Bantou's eyes widened, "Those who influence the government's judgment will be given twenty rods." ”

Only then did the villagers let go.

Zhou Bantou instructed to go down, and if anyone from the villagers went to repair the river dam, they should first register with the village chief, and the second elder of the Xia family and the second daughter-in-law were brought to Lu Tingxiu.

It was not early, and the involvement of this murder case was too extensive to be clarified in a few words.

The official collected the body and returned to the yamen, and Lu Tingxiu discussed with the village chief, and first invited the Xia family and the family of the person involved in the case to the ancestral hall.

At that time, it was almost dusk, and the village chief ordered his family to kill chickens and geese, made a sumptuous meal, and warmly invited the county magistrate and his party to have a light meal.

Lu Tingxiu was really hungry, but he hadn't dealt with the Zhuang family, so he couldn't make up his mind.

Poor mountains and bad waters, most people in Xiajia Village can't open the pot, and feed on dregs and wild vegetables, and the life of the village chief's family is more comfortable.

No one can be hungry to know the county, and they can't let them eat chaff vegetables, Xia Qiu smiled, "Then it will trouble the village chief." ”

The village chief was overjoyed and led everyone to their homes.

Xia Qiu's outstandingness was unexpected by all the villagers. In addition to the accident, the village chief was quite embarrassed. Xia Qiu couldn't stand the abuse of the Xia family back then, and came to ask him to uphold justice.

The Xia family is not reasonable, and they love to speak quickly, the village chief is too lazy to cause trouble, and turns a blind eye to it.

Now Xia Qiu's attitude is indifferent, which is also reasonable.

It is rare to eat meat once a year, and in order to entertain the county, the village chief has spent a lot of money. A pot of chicken, a pot of goose meat, two fried vegetables, and a large pot of white flour steamed buns, even the New Year did not have this treatment.

The girls and girls in the family are not qualified to serve at the table. The food is precious, but he doesn't dare to waste it, the village chief specially called Xia Zhiwen, the eldest son of the county school, to accompany the table, and the other men rushed to the stove room to drink thin rice porridge.

There is no seasoning in the village, the ingredients are fresh but the taste is very ordinary, Lu Tingxiu knows that it is not easy for the people, and he does not dare to waste it.

From time to time, the village chief introduced the topic to the eldest son, trying to make the magistrate take a look at it, and it would be better if he could be recommended.

By the end of the meal, it was completely dark.

The village chief took Lu Tingxiu and his party to the ancestral hall, and Xia Zhiwen was in charge of writing and collecting the records of the families of the missing.
