Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Bowl at Home Is Missing

The wine lady and her concubine still wanted to struggle in court, and at first they shouted injustice, trying to put the blame on Xue Mingkai and them, saying that they framed the two innocent people in order to show themselves.

Later, Xue Mingkai made a little trick, found someone to come out from behind the court, and pretended that Uncle Zhou was willing to tell the truth, as long as he could surround his life, the county lord didn't know whether it was true or not, and thought that Uncle Zhou had a change of heart, and immediately agreed with great joy, and then got up directly and went to the dungeon for interrogation.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the concubine hurriedly confessed and told everything in order to seek leniency.

Seeing that he was so ruthless, the wine lady felt that she had seen the wrong person and at the same time let go, and even explained everything to the end, and the matter was now clear.

It turned out that the wine lady used to survive in a gang of scammers who were all women, and everyone in this organization focused on the rich to cheat, and most of the time they only wanted money and didn't want their lives.

But it can't stand a few people who go off the rails for money and disregard for human life, and the wine lady is now one of them.

According to her confession, at first she couldn't look down on Uncle Zhou, he was old, poor, and not handsome enough, what did she like about him?

Later, Uncle Zhou went to her wine shop to buy wine, and the amount of wine he poured in a glass was quickly put down.

The wine lady originally wanted to throw him directly out of the door, but accidentally heard his drunken words, and realized that he had picked up the burden of two hundred taels of silver on the official road in the previous month, and his heart moved slightly.

Two hundred taels of silver! At that time, when she lost money in gambling, and the people in the gambling house came to ask for debts, she had a crooked mind when she was anxious, and started Uncle Zhou's idea.

Uncle Zhou is actually very shrewd, after he picked up the money, he knew that he would definitely not be able to keep it in his hands, so he took out fifty taels of silver from it, secretly hid it, and went back with one hundred and fifty taels.

As expected, the silver was directly taken away and locked up by Aunt Zhou, and he couldn't even look at it.

The wine lady originally felt a little strange, since Uncle Zhou could hide fifty taels of silver, why did he give the remaining one hundred and fifty taels to Mrs. Zhou, can't he hide them together?

It was she who underestimated Uncle Zhou's honesty, he had been controlled by Aunt Zhou for so many years, and he had already formed the mentality that if he had money, he would hand it over to Aunt Zhou, and the fifty taels he hid were already the result of his courage.

And there is another reason why he handed over the silver to Aunt Zhou, that is, he needs a reason to spend the silver reasonably.

If he kept the money privately, then there would be no reason to spend it, once he showed a casual attitude of spending money, wouldn't Aunt Zhou, who had lived with him for decades, feel strange?

In order to avoid that from happening, he still has to spend his money carefully, what is the difference between that and not picking up the money?

So Uncle Zhou still gave the rest of the silver to Mrs. Zhou for safekeeping, and with this money, Mrs. Zhou was a little more lenient with him.

Originally, he was given five yuan a month, but now it has become ten yuan, and the extra fraction of the silver he sold for his own prey is basically hisβ€”not because Aunt Zhou gave it to reward him, but because she has money in her hand now, these odds are not worth it.

So this week, the old man picked up the money and before Aunt Zhou died, and his life was a little chic.

As for why Uncle Zhou suddenly attacked Aunt Zhou, there are three reasons.

The first is that Aunt Zhou has lost his face too much, and there are many jokes in the village one after another, he used to endure it, but now that he has money in his hand, it becomes unacceptable to endure some of it.

The second is the contrast between the gentleness and pettiness of the wine lady, with her considerate care, plus she faintly revealed that she likes Uncle Zhou's honest duty very much, but it is a pity that she has a wife, otherwise she must have married him, which stimulated Uncle Zhou.

Coupled with Aunt Zhou's fierceness day after day, she looks like a tiger's back, compared with the wine lady, it is simply unsightly, Uncle Zhou began to have red eyes, and secretly killed him.

The third is the main reason, Aunt Zhou faintly noticed from Uncle Zhou's spending money these days that he had more than the money he gave him, and she couldn't help but be suspicious in her heart, suspecting that he had stolen some of it, and asked him several times, Uncle Zhou finally became impatient, so he decided to kill him secretly.

The next thing is very simple, although Uncle Zhou didn't say it explicitly, but vaguely revealed a little meaning, the wine lady just felt that only Aunt Zhou died, and the money in her hand could be deceived by herself, and Uncle Zhou's idea hit it off, and the two began to plan this matter.

According to Uncle Zhou's meaning, either she directly made the illusion that she fell down the mountain, or let her accidentally fall into the well and drown, but these will leave traces, and the wine lady was afraid that she would be suspected, so she taught him a method - inserted/inserted three silver needles from the top of her head, all of which were not entered, so as to ensure that outsiders could not find out.

After all, the top of the head is the easiest place to overlook, not to mention being wrapped in layers of hair.

Uncle Zhou hesitated for a long time, when Mrs. Zhou fought with Mrs. Li for the last time, Uncle Zhou only felt that his face was falling down, and his hesitant heart instantly became firm, and he decided to fight for his own face!

Later, he did many exercises with the wine lady, and he didn't implement it until he felt that there was no flaw.

The plan was very thorough, and he was able to completely clear his suspicions, but what he didn't expect was that the same thing had happened twice before, and when he came here, it attracted the attention of the government, and then investigated, and then everything was found out, and he was arrested like this.

"This is an organization of young women, who were kicked out by their husbands' or mothers' families for various reasons, and have no other means of making a living, so they gradually come together to form a group of people with the purpose of cheating money." Yin Jiu stood behind Lin Junze and said, "This wine lady used to stay in it for two or three years, and then she met this man next to her, and neither of them wanted to stay in it anymore, so they ran out, because the man knew a little bit of wine-making skills, so they came to this county town and opened a wine shop." ”

Lin Jun faced the street and stood by the window, listening to the report very calmly.

"It's also this wine lady who is unlucky, she doesn't know that there have been two similar cases in the place where she escaped, so she dared to teach this method to Uncle Zhou, and she also thought that Aunt Zhou had no scars all over her body, and it showed the illusion that something had happened in her sleep, even if someone was suspicious, she couldn't find a flaw, so she was relieved to implement it."

"It's just that she didn't expect that something with the same cause of death happened in the villages and towns near this county, and it was revealed that something was wrong." Yin Fourteen leaned against the wall with his arms folded, and when he heard the words, he coldly interjected a sentence to finish the follow-up.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's right. Yin Jiu glanced at him and replied with a faint expression.

Although they are both hidden guards, but each hidden guard's temper is different, like he himself is a relatively calm and solemn personality, looking at the hippie smiling face all day long, the hidden fourteen is quite dissatisfied, I think that such a person can also become a hidden guard, it's too unusual.

Fourteen also knew that Yin Jiu didn't like him, but he was used to it, so he didn't say anything to his sudden cold face, and continued to lean against the wall crookedly, his eyes turned to Lin Junze, waiting for Gongzi to speak.

"What's so unusual about those people?" In the middle of the night, Lin Jun's voice sounded.

"At the moment, it seems that there are none." Yin Jiu lowered his head and said respectfully.

"That's fine."

Whether or not to find those people is the responsibility of the local arrest, and he has no kindness to help them arrest those female liars.

Yin Jiu subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at the back of the person in front of him, and then his face turned straight and said, "Yes." ”

After speaking, he retreated, leaving only Lin Junze and fourteen people in the house.

Outside the window, the hawker's shouting entered the house with a breeze and sunshine, and Lin Jun stood there with his majestic back, revealing a noble temperament.

His expression was focused, his eyes looked at the scenery outside the house, and his childish face seemed to be able to see fine fluff in the pouring light, which brought a bit of softness to his cold and hard expression at the moment.

Fourteen looked at the back of the childe, and there was a rare trace of silence on his face, which had always been in no shape.

His son should be the most noble person in the world......

"Ning Ning, do you feel that something is wrong at home?" Gu Huai'an asked with a puzzled expression.

"No, what's wrong with the family?" Gu Changning looked at his brother in confusion.

"No, don't you think you've been missing things at home lately?" Gu Huai'an said very seriously, "The bowls at home seem to be inexplicably missing a lot." ”

"......" Gu Changning blinked, pretending to be stupid and said, "Yes...... Is it? Are there fewer bowls at home? ”

"Yes, come and see, there are many bowls in the original cupboard, do you think there are more than half of them now?" Gu Huaian pointed to the cupboard.

Gu Changning looked carefully, there were originally full bowls in the cupboard, but now there were only a few of them, she was really embarrassed to say that brother, you were wrong to say such a disobedient word, touched her nose, and laughed dryly, "Yes, yes, it seems that there is something wrong......

Gu Huai'an suddenly felt that his sister's reaction was not quite right, he looked at his sister suspiciously, his eyes were full of inquiry.

"What, brother, I remembered that I told Shuang'er and them about the time, and they should have been waiting for me, so I'll go first."

"Wait......"

Gu Changning walked out of the stove room without saying a word, what are you waiting for, if you wait any longer, you will be exposed!

What she didn't expect was that when she couldn't wait to open the door and want to sneak out, she saw that there were many washed bowls neatly placed on the ground outside the door, and those bowls belonged to theirs.

Gu Changning was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked around.

Of course, she didn't forget that this bowl was the bowl she had sent to the sixth uncle grandmother with a meal before, but now the bowls were cleaned and sent back, could it be that the sixth uncle and grandmother sent it? She knows that she brings her food every day?

Gu Changning was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't you say they were waiting for you? Why haven't you left yet? ”

Gu Huai'an saw his sister hurriedly running out of the stove room, he could only shake his head, close the door of the cupboard again, and then simply clean up the tabletop, and then walked out of the stove room.

As a result, as soon as he came out of the stove room, he saw his sister standing motionless by the door, as if she was frozen, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.

Gu Changning was shocked back to her senses by Gu Huai'an's words, she reacted, turned around, pointed to the bowl in front of her brother, and said, "Brother, look, our bowl is back!" ”
