Fu Junzhi and the Liu siblings, out of curiosity and enthusiasm for catching the murderer, followed Xie Xuan and Xie Ping'an back to Zhuangzi.

The four teenagers and girls were in the same carriage, followed by two carriages, riding seven or eight servants and servants, and Xie Ping'an was also in the carriage.

Back to Zhuangzi, it was already evening, although the sky was not dark, but the winter night came quickly, I believe that after a while, the sky will be dark.

Xie Pingtian really blocked everyone in the courtyard, the gate was locked inside, Xie Xuan knocked on the door, and saw Qiu Niang and the Lin family come over and open the door.

Knowing that Xie Qingshan had woken up, Xie Pingtian and the others let go of the heart that had been hanging.

Xie Xuan asked Xie Pingtian: "Uncle, the workers didn't leave, did they?" ”

"No, none of them left!"

"No one? Like deliberately inciting others or something? ”

"No, after everyone knows the situation, they are very reasonable, and they all say that it is not too late to leave when the murderer is caught."

Xie Xuan nodded and strolled into the courtyard.

Fu Junzhi and Liu's brothers and sisters followed in with their little servants.

When the workers saw that Xie Xuan and they were back, and there were those who knew each other, they hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Brother Xie?" Have you woken up? ”

Xie Xuan smiled a little, "I woke up, and the doctor said that it would be good to rest for a few days." ”

"That's good! That's good! Brother Xie is a benevolent and virtuous person, and he will have blessings! ”

"That's it, God can't let a real person like Brother Xie have anything to do......

…………

The crowd flattered.

Seeing Xie Pingtian and Xie Ping'an standing there with their faces strained, not knowing how to find the real culprit, Xie Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After picking up a stool, Xie Xuan stood up and said loudly: "Grandfathers and uncles, everyone knows what happened to my family today, and I won't say much." Because my grandfather is still lying in the hospital, the affairs here are decided by us juniors, and I don't know who offended anyone, please don't blame my grandfather and uncle! ”

Everyone said that you don't have to be polite, everyone knows the reason.

After all, everyone is suspicious at this time, and in order to get rid of their own suspicion, no one will go against the Xie family.

"Then please divide you into four groups according to the seats during the afternoon meal, let's all identify who has left the seats during the meal in the middle of the morning!"

The workers were originally a little unhappy when they saw Xie Xuan commanding them, but when they saw Xie Xuan bringing a group of sturdy servants in the same costume behind them, Xie Pingtian and Xie Ping'an also let everyone listen to Xie Xuan's command, even if they were disdainful, they had to do it.

Fu Junzhi and the Liu brothers and sisters watched curiously as Xie Xuan looked for the murderer.

"Grandfathers, at your table, apart from my grandfather, can anyone leave their seats halfway?" Xie Xuan asked the first group of people, most of them were quite old, and they sat at a table with Xie Qingshan's father and son when eating.

"Yes, my old man drank two more bowls of wine and went out to relieve himself!" An old man from the same village stood up and said, "But when I came back, your grandfather hadn't gone yet, and everyone at our table saw it!" ”

Everyone nodded yes, and Xie Pingtian and Xie Ping'an could also prove it.

Xie Xuan nodded and looked at the next table.

This time, a strong man with a five-short figure inside automatically stood up and said, "I also went out to relieve myself!" “

Xie Xuan looked at him and found that this person was one of the three people who found Xie Qingshan.

When Hui Niang saw it, she hurriedly came to Xie Xuan's side and explained: "This is Zhang Heizi from Gangxia Village, and it is Sister-in-law Zhang's nephew. Sister-in-law Zhang has always been good friends with me, and she asked me to help her introduce her nephew to work in our Zhuangzi......"

Xie Xuan nodded, letting Zhang Heizi stand aside first, and then looked at the next table.

"I'm out!" A thin black young man didn't wait for Xie Xuan to ask, and then stood up and said.

This person is Sun Tie from the same village, and there is only one sick mother in the family, because he is poor and can't marry a daughter-in-law, Xie Qingshan takes pity on him and asks him to work.

"Brother Sun Tie, what are you doing out there?" Xie Xuan looked carefully at the taciturn black thin young man and asked.

Sun Tie's black and thin body stood still, silent for a while, and the workers began to stir.

"Say! What did you do? ”

"Is there anything you can't say? Could it be that you hit Brother Xie's stuffy stick? ”

"It's just, if there's something you can't say......"

……

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Sun Tie's black and thin face jumped violently, clenched his fists and said loudly: "I didn't beat Uncle Xie!" Uncle Xie kindly asked me to come to Zhuangzi to work, where can I do that kind of wolf-hearted thing......"

"Then what are you doing, why don't you say it?" Someone in the crowd said.

Sun Tie pursed his lips tightly, pulled his legs and ran into the house, everyone was startled, and he was about to run away.

Seeing him enter the house, they looked at each other, not knowing what this Sun Tie was going to do.

When Xie Xuan was also puzzled, Sun Tie came back with a bag of things.

I saw Sun Tie come to the Xie family, carefully open the oiled paper bag in his hand, and it was packed with dishes eaten at the banquet in the middle of the morning, and most of them were meat.

"My family is poor, my mother is always sick, and I don't have any skills, so I can only let my mother suffer with me, and I can't even eat meat all year round......" Sun Tie stood straight, and Tie Qing's face was full of embarrassment, "I saw that there was a lot of meat at the banquet, and I thought that my mother was still waiting for me at home, so I secretly hid some and prepared to take it back to my mother to taste...... I left the table halfway through, just to go back and stuff the stolen meat into the luggage......"

As he spoke, the thin black young man lowered his head in embarrassment.

After all, in other people's seats, people invite you, and even eating and taking this kind of behavior is a very disgusting behavior in ancient times when food was scarce, and no one who cares about face will do it.

Xie Xuan understood his embarrassment, so he smiled and said, "Brother Sun Tie has a heart of filial piety, what's so embarrassing!" Xuanxuan saw Brother Sun Tie doing this, and she admired it very much! After finding out the real culprit later, Brother Sun Tie just went to the kitchen, and there were still a lot of meatballs left, so let's take two bowls back for my aunt! ”

Seeing Xie Xuan acting like this, Sun Tie couldn't help but show a grateful look on his face. Xie Xuan praised his act of stealing meat as filial piety, which not only saved his face, but also prevented everyone from criticizing him.

When everyone saw this scene, they all changed their tone one after another, praising Sun Tie for being honest and filial, and he was definitely not the one who beat him behind his back.

Let Sun Tie also stand aside, and Xie Xuan came to the last table.

This table is full of relatives of the Xie family, her father, uncle and second uncle, uncle Zhou Anzhou and the two brothers, as well as Lin Shan, Lin Hai, two nephews of the Lin family, Lin Zhu and Lin Chun'er, a total of nine people, all sitting at the same table.

Xie Xuan carefully looked at the expressions of the nine people in front of him, with a slight smile on his face, and asked, "You are all relatives of our Xie family, and I am not very polite." Please let me know who we left the table halfway through. ”

"Me and Zhou Quan," Uncle Zhou An stood up and said, "Mother and Qiu Niang are collecting some bowls, I see that they are very busy, and Zhou Quan will help them collect the bowls!" ”

"Yes, your uncle and Zhou Quan sent two bowls to the kitchen, and helped us burn the fire for a while......" Qiu Niang hurriedly said to Xie Xuan.

Lin also came forward to prove it.

Xie Xuan nodded and looked at the rest of the people at the table.

Lin Shan, Lin Hai and Lin Zhu Lin Chun looked at each other, and they all said that they had never left.

"Dad, uncle and second uncle, talk about it!" Xie Xuan narrowed her eyes.

"Xuanxuan, I'...... I'll go talk to your mother, and your mother can prove ......," Li Changping hurriedly said.

Li Changping saw Xie Xuan defeat his eldest brother and second brother on this day, and saw Xie Xuan alone and a group of people interrogating the murderer, and his surprise was indescribable.

Seeing Xie Xuan's eyes, somehow, I felt a little worried in my heart, not like I saw my daughter, but like a student meeting a teacher.

Hui Niang glanced at him with disgust, and said to Xie Xuan: "Xuanxuan, he did come to talk to me......

"Oh!" Xie Xuan nodded and looked at the last two people, Li Chang and Li Changwei.

"Uncle and second uncle, there are only the two of you left, have you left the table halfway?" Xie Xuan raised her eyebrows and asked.

The brothers Li Chang and Li Changwei saw Xie Xuan followed by a group of sturdy servants wearing the same clothes, and when they saw this battle, they already panicked.

"Leave the table, let's both go and relieve ourselves!" Li Changwei said immediately.

"Oh? Two big men go to untie their hands together? Xie Xuan sneered: "When you are a little girl!" ”
