The big mouth thought of how ruthless the old pious woman was in slashing the door of Zhu Tonghua's house last time, and his heart trembled.

"Did you hear that?" Ye Yuran asked fiercely.

"Listen...... Hearing the ......" Big Mouth immediately excused himself that there was still something burning on his stove, and quickly ran away.

The big mouth was driven away, but the news she left was left in the Zhu family.

The news of Mrs. Mei's death, coupled with the fact that Zhang Yan did not return last night, Ye Yuran had a bad feeling in her heart.

But she still gave Zhu San a calm look and asked everyone to eat breakfast first.

Because he didn't know the truth, after eating, Ye Yuran sent a few clever sons and daughters-in-law out to inquire, but what he heard was not good news.

I don't know if the words of the big mouth played a role, or if someone really thinks so, many people "linked" the death of Mrs. Mei to the Zhu family, thinking that it was the hand of the Zhu family.

"Mother, what should I do? They all said that our family made it. Liu was a little flustered.

"If you don't do it, you don't do it, why are you panicking?" Ye Yuran glared at her and the others, "God, even if you want to find someone to settle accounts, you won't find us." Whoever does this is responsible. ”

Ye Yuran didn't wait for the Mei family to come to the door, so she first went to Li Zhenghe and the patriarch of Zhujia Village and asked them who they thought was the murderer who killed Mrs. Mei.

On the other end, Mei's family received the news.

Boss Mei yelled at his woman unhappily: "Didn't I ask you to check yesterday to see if Mrs. Mei was locked up properly? ”

His mother-in-law was also angry, and said: "It's raining so hard, why don't you go by yourself?" And Mrs. Mei is dead, and I didn't kill her, you can find the murderer yourself." ”

"Don't make any noise," Mei Tongshan, the nephew of Mrs. Mei, shouted, "Zhujia Village has notified us to recognize people here, and we should discuss it carefully, how to deal with this matter." ”

"What should be done? Mrs. Mei died on the land of their Zhujia Village, it must have been the hands of the people of their Zhujia Village, and of course they were going to find compensation from Zhujia Village. Mei Yi didn't care about Mrs. Mei's death, he was a second-rate son who "ate alone, and the whole family was not hungry", and when he heard this, he felt that he could get a share of the benefits, so he ran over to join in the fun.

Mei Tongshan glared at him: "You get out of the way." ”

"What are you renting? I also call Mrs. Mei an aunt, she has something, can I not make a difference?" Mei Yi was completely uneasy, because he didn't think he could beat Mei Tongshan.

Mei Tongshan frowned, he didn't know who it was, so he called this kid over.

A room full of people didn't admit it: "I didn't call it." ”

"I didn't call it. ”

"Not me, anyway. ”

......

"Okay, no one called, I heard the wind, I came by myself, can't I?" Mei Yi said, "See, for Mrs. Mei's business, my shoes are dirty." When the time comes, I will have to find Zhujiacun to compensate for a new pair. ”

Everyone looked at Mei Yi's shoes that had long been torn and couldn't get off their feet, and they were collectively speechless: "......"

However, Mei Yi's sentence of "compensation" does hit their minds - no profit can not be early, which is the characteristic of the Mei family.

They really want to get the best out of it.

Li Zheng and the patriarch of Zhujia Village are discussing this matter. After all, it is not a good thing for anyone to suddenly appear a corpse on the territory under his jurisdiction.

They also heard about it, and after a while, some people rumored that it was the Zhu family's work.

Li Zheng was still thinking: "Do you think they did it?"

"With the temperament of an old pious woman, it is difficult to speak. The patriarch muttered, "The old goddess's temper is not very good, if she bumps into her on the road, or provokes her, and pulls out the knife in a fit of anger, it is also possible." ”

"Do you think it should be a manslaughter?" Li Zheng recalled the big hole on her head when she saw Mei Pozi, and hesitated a little.

It feels like such a big pit, it doesn't look like it was smashed all at once, it should have been smashed a lot.

The main reason is that from yesterday afternoon to evening, there was a torrential rain, which washed away all the incriminating evidence, and they couldn't judge how Mrs. Mei died.

People, now they have arranged people, found a straw mat, and covered it first, but this thing is ......

"The old lady usually doesn't like to go out, and the fourth child in her family just gave birth to twins, and Mrs. Mei died on the territory of Zhujia Village, do you think it is possible for her to call Mrs. Mei over and kill her again?" asked the patriarch.

Rizheng shook his head: "Unlikely." But it's a bit tricky. This old pious woman is not easy to deal with, and the Mei family is also a nonsense, this matter is difficult to handle. ”

"If it's difficult, you have to get it, let the Li Zheng and the patriarch over there come and talk. The patriarch said, "Don't talk to the Mei family, it's not clear to talk to the Mei family, but if the Mei family still wants to live in the village, they must obey the Li Zheng and the patriarch on their side, so it will be much easier to talk." ”

Li Zheng said: "Did you just let people inform Li Zheng and the patriarch over there, it turned out that this was the idea." ”

While the two were talking, Lizheng's mother-in-law ran over with a panicked face and told them that the old goddess was coming.

"Why is she here?!" Rimasa looked surprised.

"It's okay to come, before anyone comes over there, let's find out the bottom first, and we also know in our hearts. Just like Li Zheng's worries, Patriarch Zhu was actually quite worried, he was afraid that when the time came, the old goddess would collide with the people of the Mei family, and no one would accept anyone, so he would get into it on the spot.

This old pious woman, no one can suppress her.

It would be a good thing if we could get the old goddess done before anyone came over there.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that when the old pious woman showed up, she didn't come to "quarrel", but to ask for clues about the "murderer".

The two were stunned for a moment.

"I asked my son and daughter-in-law to inquire, and I heard that Mrs. Mei died on the road, and yesterday's rain was so heavy that everything was washed away, so I don't know how she died. If you don't know, I'd like to see the corpse. Ye Yuran said with a serious face, "When I was in a big family, I had dealings with the servants in the house, and I heard a little bit about it, maybe I could help." ”

The patriarch and Li Zheng really didn't expect that she would still know this.

Of course, Ye Yuran didn't know much, what she knew was just some of the "bridges" she had seen in it.

And although she asked her family to help "collect" the information, the amount of this information was definitely not as much as that of Lizheng and the patriarch. After a while, the Mei family came to "find trouble", and maybe they still needed the help of Lizheng and the patriarch, so she didn't mind giving the other party a little "sweetness" first.

It wasn't until this time that Ye Yuran realized that I usually seemed to "ignore" these two.

If this matter passes, she will definitely have to deal with them in the future.

In the current era, the "authority" of these two people can be said to be the largest in the entire Zhujia Village, and sometimes even the yamen has to consider their opinions.

Because it is impossible for the yamen to stare at the countryside 24 hours a day, at this time it needs someone to take care of it, and Li Zhenghe and the patriarch are the best "custodians".

Li Zheng is the "village chief" elected by the Yamen, while the patriarch is the spontaneous election of a certain surname group, and the two people jointly manage a village under their jurisdiction.

In fact, in comparison, in some places, the official "elected" Li Zheng may not have as much power as the patriarch of a certain family.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Zheng of Zhujia Village would be so "polite" to the patriarch of the Zhu family.
