Zhao Dading only sells firewood for more than ten days a month, and it is said that he is very lazy, and he sleeps at home with a few pennies, and he only comes out to sell firewood when he has nothing to eat.

I usually have a little money on hand, and I don't bother to buy some rice dishes to cook, so as to save some money and stay up for a few more days. He would rather buy ready-made food and spend all the money on hand in a few days than think much about the rest of his life.

The last time I saw him sell firewood was three days ago, and if nothing else, he would still be sleeping at home.

Many people feel a little stupid to follow at this time, this Zhao Dading is so lazy, everyone comes to help him, I'm afraid he won't be able to say a good word, and there is no need for so many people to follow. But they all followed, and they suddenly said that they were so embarrassed to go, so they had to follow hard.

This Zhao Dading's home is on the side of the official road outside the city, and there is no other residence around him except for his lonely and dilapidated house. The place is really strange, and it is not a roadside wild shop, it is only a tea away from the city gate, and there is a village not far away, but you have to live here alone.

And this dilapidated house is not small, with a small courtyard outside the two houses, close to the edge of the official road. The official road is full of loess, don't mention it when there is a carriage passing by, no one passes by and the light wind blows, and the house has to accumulate a layer of dust.

A diligent person has to clean half a bucket of yellow sand once, let alone a lazy person like Zhao Dading, who will be buried in dust when he falls asleep one day.

When everyone came to the broken house, many people were already resigned, and it was too boring to follow like this. I just want to finish the matter quickly, if Zhao Dading really commits a crime, it will be easy to be arrested. If this official messes around, everyone can just drive her away.

Zhuang Rou stood at the gate of the courtyard, there was no sound inside, she reached out and pushed the door, but the inside was blocked by the door bar.

A man came over and knocked on the door and shouted, "Da Ding! Open the door! It's almost up, the sun is going down! ”

The door was slammed, but there was no movement inside, and no one came to open the door, so someone said, "It can't be out, right?" ”

If you are not at home, then everyone can disperse, and you can go home for dinner at this time.

"If you are not at home, if you want to lock the door, you will lock it from the outside, how can it come from the inside." Zhuang Rou glanced at them and wanted to climb up the wall from the side, but after thinking about it, she walked to the door. If something happened inside the wall, the hunters would have to say that they did it themselves.

She is not afraid of other people's nonsense, but she thinks that there will be more trouble at that time, which will affect her own work. So she pulled out the nine-star red, inserted the knife into the crack of the door, and pushed the not-so-thick door bar up with the knife.

The door bar fell to the ground with a bang, and Zhuang Rou pushed the door open, but there was no trace of a fight inside, and there was no blood on the ground. There is a thin layer of loess in the yard with the simple footprints of only one person on it.

At this time, the hunters behind suddenly squeezed her away, and all of them rushed in, shouting, "Zhao Dading! Where are you! ”

These dozen hunters searched all over the yard, searched all the rooms and couldn't find anyone, and it was like no one was at home.

At this time, someone had sold something for a day, and the water had already been drunk, and he was a little thirsty, so he walked to the big water tank in the corner of the courtyard and wanted to get a scoop of water to drink. He grabbed the scoop and drank it, and when his eyes accidentally glanced at the water tank, he saw a face looking at him underwater.

"Wow!" He was so frightened that he threw away the water scoop in his hand, jumped out a few feet in an instant, pointed to the water tank and said tremblingly, "Inside, there are people in the water!" ”

Suddenly, he reacted in a daze, and he picked his throat and spit out.

The hunters all ran to the water tank, looked inside, and sure enough, there was a dead man with wide eyes under the water, "Zhao Dading, Dading is dead!" ”

They shouted around the water tank, but no one dared to fish him out, this Zhao Dading's appearance was too terrifying, and I heard that the water ghost was terrible. What if he reached down and suddenly grabbed him, everyone looked at each other when they left two steps.

Someone thought of it, isn't this an official coming?

looked left and right, but didn't know where Zhuang Rou went, "Where did the classic history go just now, why is there no one!" ”

"That's right, I saw people when I came in, and there was no movement after a while, so I won't be leaving!"

"Then what should Zhao Dading do, it won't be that after she killed her, she wanted to blame us, right?"

Everyone panicked, thinking about the terrible history to death, and they must have brought people over to surround them immediately, and arrested them all and locked them up.

At this time, Zhuang Rou was still in Zhao Dading's house, but not above, but underground. She found a cellar in the corner of the wall where the debris was piled up, and when she went down to it, she found hundreds of cloth pockets, and when she opened one of them, all of them were iron ingots.

Unexpectedly, there were so many, Zhuang Rou searched carefully in the cellar, wanting to see if there were anything else.

Suddenly, in an inconspicuous corner, she found a locked iron box, not small, rusty and very old. For Zhuang Rou, the lock is like nothing, she took out the lock-picking tool she carried with her, and opened the lock in a few clicks.

It was full of white silver, and there were two small iron boxes inside. Open the smaller one, and there is a stack of silver tickets inside. And the larger box was full of jewels and jade, and the head of the jewelry that I got out of nowhere was full of jewels.

On the way here, she heard from those hunters and pickers that Zhao Dading was poor and lazy, and he bought delicious food and spent it when he had a little money, and often asked them to borrow money to eat, but fortunately, he borrowed and repaid.

"It's really good at disguise, it's all so much silver. It's not easy to pretend to be a poor bastard. Zhuang Rou smiled, covered the box and locked it, and climbed up from the cellar.

When she came out of the corner of the pile, she saw everyone gathered together, as if they were discussing something, and they looked very nervous.

Zhuang Rou walked over and asked, "What are you doing, finding Zhao Dading?" ”

Everyone was taken aback by her, and they really couldn't speak ill of people behind their backs, and they didn't know how much she had heard.

A man said: "Zhao Dading is dead, in the water tank, we don't dare to fish him out, just wait for the official to come." ”

Zhuang Rou also thought that Zhao Dading heard the sound of knocking on the door and hid, so he went to look for physical evidence first, and asked these people who were familiar with him to look for people, maybe he knew each other at a glance and came out.

I didn't expect to die......

She frowned, maybe when she first checked Li Pingwei, Zhao Dading was killed.

Walking to the water tank, she looked at Zhao Dading below through the water, and she didn't know how long she had been dead if she didn't fish it out. He turned his head and tried to ask these able-bodied men to help, but when he turned around, he saw that they had all run two feet away, and none of them wanted to come and move the corpses.

Zhuang Rou looked at them speechlessly, obviously she wanted to fight with herself before, but now she is putting on such a look, who is it for, really.

She waved her hand and said, "If you find the body, you can't get out of it, but it's just to interrogate, come to a person with fast legs, go to the yamen and report to me." Find a head catcher named Ma Dezheng and ask him to bring people and cars over to pull the corpse. ”

The hunters were all fast, and everyone pushed each other for a while, and finally selected one person to go back to report the news. But I was afraid of what to do if I met the murderer on the way, which made people feel hairy, and finally asked the three of them to go back to the city together.

It is impossible to lend the horse to them, and it will take a lot of time to walk back by legs, Zhuang Rou glanced at the water tank, and decided not to fish it out yet, and the work on a hot day is not there, who knows if it will affect the check on when he was killed.

Everyone stood in a cool place, waiting for the yamen to catch them quickly, and they also looked at Zhuang Rou curiously, feeling that she seemed to be a little different from what was circulated, and she didn't seem to be so fierce.

But no one wants to get close to her, so it's better not to deal with officials.

There are corpses here, and they are acquaintances, everyone is still a little hairy, and their voices are quieter, just talking in a low voice about who a poor person like Zhao Dading can offend.

There was a lot of talk about this, and everyone began to guess blindly, from gambling to women, and even dug up wild ginseng and made a windfall, this unlikely thing was said.

Zhuang Rou was amused to hear it, if they knew that there was so much gold and silver hidden in the cellar, I am afraid they would not think so.

However, they may want to join forces to kill themselves, divide their belongings and leave.

It was not early, Ma Dezheng and they hadn't come yet, Zhuang Rou hadn't eaten for a day and was a little hungry, she looked at the kitchen door, and asked curiously, "Did you look for the kitchen just now?" ”

"No, how could a lazy man like him be in the kitchen." The hunters replied.

At this time, someone said, "I stood in the doorway and looked at it, and the kitchen was so little bigger, I could see it at a glance." ”

After hearing this, Zhuang Rou still walked into the kitchen and rummaged in it, this person is so rich, he usually pretends to be very bad, he will definitely buy delicious food to eat, otherwise what is the point of living.

Sure enough, in the cabinet, she found a few cold noodles cakes, and when she opened the lid, she saw that the pot had not been used for many years, and she saw that there was a roast chicken cut in the plate in the cold pot.

Seeing that the color was still fresh and did not look like overnight, she reached out and took a chicken leg. Nibble on the chicken leg with your left hand, grab the cake with your right hand and eat it.

The weather is too hot, and there is a refreshing feeling of eating cold food. She stood inside and ate as if no one was there, so that the hunters in the distance saw it, and immediately felt that she was too unsophisticated, and even turned out the dead man's things to eat.

The kitchen was a little stuffy, Zhuang Rou decided to take the chicken to the shade outside to eat, biting the chicken leg in her mouth, so she bent down and wanted to go to the pot to get the chicken.

Just as she was crouching, something flashed out of the corner of her eye, and a cool breeze blew towards her neck. She only felt that her eyebrows were sore, and a sense of crisis came up, her head tilted back violently, and her feet moved, and the whole person moved back two steps.

Immediately, she found a thin gray line in the air, and if it weren't for the sunlight coming in through the window, she wouldn't have noticed it.

Zhuang Rou immediately raised her head, and saw a masked man squatting on the beam of the room, wrapped in gray clothes, with some gray threads wrapped around his fingers, and the thread just now hung down from his hand.

The two looked at each other, staring at each other silently, neither of them moving first.

At this time, a man from outside came over and shouted loudly: "Woman, is there wine inside?" ”

At the same time, the two moved at the same time.

As soon as the gray-clothed man on the beam flicked his hand, the gray line flew up and wrapped around Zhuang Rou. Zhuang Rou also pulled out the nine-star red, grabbed the chicken leg on her mouth with her left hand, and threw it at the other party, the person rushed out of the door in an instant, and knocked the man who was trying to come in to the ground with one elbow, and after she landed, she rolled along the ground a few times and jumped into the distance.

Just look at the refreshing one
