Chapter 122: Empty of People and Money
The second elder of the Xia family was shocked by her, and the coldness in his bones really wanted to kill them.
Only then did the two of them realize that this dead girl was a broken jar, and she had no affection for the Xia family.
At this moment, they believe that Xia Qiu will really kill people.
Frightened by their eyes, the two of them couldn't even speak, and watched Xia Qiu step into the Lu Mansion and the door slammed shut.
The second elder dared to stay, and left quickly.
In the city, there is no way to stay, and the village cannot go back.
Stumbling back into the rented yard and closing the door to make another plan.
Stealing chickens doesn't make a handful of rice, and I didn't expect to get a shop in summer and autumn. This time she went to intercede, thinking that she would raise her noble hand to save her three sons and grandchildren from prison, and give another 500 taels of alimony, even if it was cleared.
However, the little wild seed actually had the intention of murder.
There is an official government to protect her, where can they fight.
I can't afford to provoke it, so I can only hide.
Of the five sons, the fifth is dead, three are in prison, and only the eldest is left in the house to recuperate. The four grandsons are also in prison, and there are only a few girls left in the family, which is annoying to watch.
If they are not all of them of the age of waiting for marriage, they can get some bride price money when they get married, and they don't want to raise these money-losing goods.
The city is really good, you don't have to work, all kinds of delicious and fun, but the monthly room money costs 800 Wen, and everything you need to eat and drink when you open your eyes. The second elder had money in his hand, but he couldn't afford to have more than 20 mouths.
If you don't raise them in summer and autumn, sooner or later you will have to drink the northwest wind.
After discussion, the second elder planned to withdraw.
In prison, it doesn't cost money to eat and live, and the third and fourth can be released after half a month. As for the second child, when he pulled people's heads to reap benefits, there was not much light in the family, and now that he has not been stabbed, let him fend for himself.
There are many sons, and he is not missing one.
The village could not go back for the time being, and the second elder and three foreign daughters lived in turns for a month, and when the laborers calmed down their anger, they returned to the village to repair the house and plant the land.
After making up his mind, the second elder ordered him to go down and pack his things and leave immediately.
The boss's ass blossomed, screaming in pain in the house, and no one was waiting for him all morning.
The eldest daughter-in-law was also not lightly injured, but the person was gone.
scolded the eldest daughter-in-law for being lazy and urinating, she opened the curtain to bring water to her son, but found that there were a lot less things in the house.
The eldest daughter-in-law ran away with three babies.
He slept so blurry that he didn't even know when his daughter-in-law ran away.
Mrs. Xia panicked, hurriedly went back to the house and opened the broken box, and reached under her clothes.
No, she has saved a lifetime of pension money, a full twenty taels, and there is not even a copper plate left.
The family's life-saving money was stolen.
"Li Xiu'e!"
Mrs. Xia was so angry that she fell to the ground with her legs crooked, and she lost her urine and urine.
"My money, the family's life money......" a heart-rending scream sounded.
The Xia family, all of a sudden, the chickens and dogs jumped, and it was all messed up.
Knowing that half of his life's savings had been stolen, the excited old man Xia went up and slapped the old woman twice, trembling with anger, "You old pious woman, you can't even look at money, why don't you die......"
Mrs. Xia was completely stunned and let him fight.
If it weren't for the daughters-in-law pulling fast, I am afraid that they would have lost half their lives.
After relieving herself, she had a swollen face and a pig's head, and gave a few slaps to several daughters-in-law with her backhand, and scolded, "You thieves who eat inside and out, is it easy for me to run this family?" You unconscionable, you dare to steal money to support your family, whoever steals it should hand it over quickly, otherwise I will have to skin you. ”
Several daughters-in-law were wronged and didn't even dare to fart.
She was not reconciled, and went through all the rooms, even stripped off the coats of several daughters-in-law, but still did not find any money.
It seems that it was really the eldest daughter-in-law who stole it.
No wonder she suddenly turned against her in court, it turned out that she was provoked by Xia Qiu and ran away with the child with the money.
"Why don't we report to the police?" I don't know which daughter-in-law who has no eyesight, and suddenly said something.
Mrs. Xia was angry, and went up to give her two slaps, "What kind of official do you want Xiao Ye to see our jokes?" ”
The daughter-in-law ran away, and the eldest was angry at first, then whimpered and cried. The three children he had raised in the province of food and drink abandoned him.
The family cursed and cursed in various ways, making the neighbors uneasy.
The bitter master of the courtyard next door who was peeping at threw stones directly into the courtyard and scolded: "If you make any more noise, Lao Tzu can't rest, I will go to the yamen to sue you." ”
The old guy vomited blood in anger, his face was like ash at the bottom of the pot, and he knocked out his teeth and swallowed blood.
But said this, Xia Qiu rummaged through the cabinets in the old man's house, turned out a few spare sachets, and took them to the resettlement camp to let the dog smell them.
The flow of people in the resettlement camp is complicated, and in addition to the smell of boiling medicine, there is also a messy smell.
The smell was disturbed, and the fine dog couldn't find the north, so it kept circling around the camp.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Lu Tingxiu discussed looking for it separately and looking out from the four exits of the resettlement camp.
Among those people are strong in martial arts, and they will go together in pairs.
The three dogs were separated, leaving only Xia Qiu and Lu Tingxiu in place.
Xia Qiu's nose was smarter than a dog, and Lu Ting Xiuquan was a dog envoy, and the two walked towards the last exit.
Today is a market day, and the streets are full of people, and along the main road is the direction out of the city.
If you make a mistake in judgment, you are very likely to miss the best chance of rescue.
Zeng Maozhi's body dumping site is more than ten miles away from the county seat, and it stands to reason that the murderer will change his face in the city, and it is unlikely that he will walk more than ten miles to throw the corpse.
From the perspective of human thinking, the scene of the first murder and the place where the body was dumped should be more reasonable within three to five miles, and the place where you live should be relatively hidden and not easy to find.
The entrance and exit of the city gate were guarded by officials, and they could not recognize Old Man Tu for no reason, unless there were tools to hide people and take them out of the city.
The most convenient tool is the horse-drawn carriage.
The two rushed to the city gate to check, and there were many people on the market day, there were more than ten horse-drawn carriages alone, as well as ox carts, board carts, dung water trucks, etc.
Out of the city gate, there were many roads through different villages and towns, and the sun was setting at that time.
Fortunately, out of the city, there is less crowd and the air is much clearer.
Xia Qiu cheered up and sniffed the smell quietly.
She tried one by one, finally smelled a faint familiar smell, and chased it in the direction leading to Liujiang Town.
Lu Tingxiu admired her special skills so much that he threw himself to the ground, and then felt a chill.
Her dog nose is so smart, so any smell on his body is not clearly smelled by her?
The nose is overused, consuming too much energy in Xia Qiu, her face is not very natural, and she rubs her nose from time to time.
"Do you want to take a break?" Lu Tingxiu helped her.
Xia Qiu took advantage of the situation to put his shoulder on his shoulder and stood to rest.
At this time, night had come, the surrounding scenery was blurred, and Lu Tingxiu found that there were scattered yellow lights on the ground.
The light is so faint that you can't see it if you don't look closely.
Old man Tu really left a clue, the two of them were shocked, Lu Tingxiu took Xia Qiu's hand and searched all the way.
