Xiangling didn't like to be dirty, picked up the cow dung with the leaves, walked into the garden with the big guy, and put it back where the Wu family first found it.

Xiangling pointed to the ground where the cow dung was located and said: "Chu Lizheng, if the cow dung is here, it means that the cow has been here for a long time, and has even eaten, but there is no trace of forage around it, and there is no trace of the cabbage leaves in front of it." ”

Everyone looked around, and it was indeed the case, only a lonely lump of cow dung, and there was no trace of the cow at all, not even the hooves of the cow.

Xiangling asked Wu Laodao with a smile: "Uncle Wu, your cow was lost this morning, right?" ”

Boss Wu nodded, the cow is a big animal, and the farmer sees it more expensive than his eyes, so he can't find out if he loses it after a night's sleep.

Xiangling struck the dried cow dung twice with a wooden stick, and the cow dung immediately scattered flowers, and a puff of yellow smoke floated up.

Xiangling smiled: "Big guy, look at this cow dung, does it look like the cow just came out this morning?" At least three days, right? In order to steal the cow, I put cow dung in the garden three days ago, so that it smells good? ”

After Xiangling's reminder, everyone realized that someone had planted a blame for the Xiangling family, and even looked at the Wu family with a little suspicion, which was not very friendly.

The Wu family's face became even more ugly, obviously because their family lost their cattle and ruined their wealth, why did they make a fuss?

Chu Gang became very excited, pulled Chu Lizheng's sleeve and said: "Uncle, the Xiangling family is wronged, then my family must also be wronged, you have to be the master for me!" ”

Chu Gang's family was also blackmailed by the old Song family for ten taels of silver because of a lump of cow dung, and Chu Gang's mother fell ill because of this incident.

Chu Gang heard that Xiangling's family was said to be stealing cattle, and he yelled over to see the situation, and wanted to know if his family could overturn the case.

Xiangling pondered for a moment and said to Chu Lizheng: "Chu Lizheng, both of them are stealing cattle due to cow dung, if the person who delivered the news is the same person, then this person is really ill-intentioned." ”

Chu Lizheng nodded and said to Boss Wu: "Boss Wu, you tell the truth, is it Zhang Ren who said that your cattle were hidden by the Xiangling family?" ”

said to the old Song family that the person who Chu had just appeared near the cow was Zhang Ren, and Chu Li simply called him by his name.

Boss Wu shook his head and said, "It's not Zhang Ren, it's his daughter-in-law." ”

"Zhang Ren's daughter-in-law?" Chu Lizheng's face became extremely ugly, and these two people were afraid that their bodies were not clean.

Chu Li said to everyone decisively: "Let's go, go to Zhang Ren's house to search, he has slandered other people's houses twice, maybe he is the one who really stole cattle." ”

A large group of people flocked to Zhang Ren's house, although Xiangling didn't like to watch the excitement, but it was about the innocence of his own family, so he could only follow.

When he arrived at Zhang Ren's house, Chu Lizheng was very domineering, and with a wave of his big hand, he turned over the entire yard, not to mention cow dung, cow bones, and cowhide, and he didn't even smell a trace of cow smell.

Chu Lizheng said to Zhang Xiaocao with a cold face: "You told the old Wu family that the Xiangling family was suspected of stealing cattle?" Why are you accusing Xiangling? Does Xiangling have a grudge against you? ”

Chu Lizheng didn't know about the grievances between Xiangling and Zhang Xiaocao, so he questioned him like this.

Zhang Xiaocao stroked her stomach and said with a soft face: "Lizheng, I am now a mother who is about to become a mother, I dare to swear by the child in my belly, Chu Xiangling is suspected of stealing cattle, you let Chu Xiangling swear in the name of her mother, saying that she has never eaten beef?" ”

"......" Xiangling's face froze, her eyes narrowed slightly, this Zhang Xiaocao definitely knows something.

Xiangling snorted lightly: "If the oath can be used as evidence in court, the county magistrate doesn't have to try the case, you hate me for breaking your personal relationship with Zhang Ren, and causing you to be divorced from home by your mother-in-law, so you framed me, right?" ”

Zhang Xiaocao pursed her lips disdainfully and nodded to Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren glanced at Xiangling like an ant, then turned to the thatched house and dragged out a sack from it.

Just now, everyone searched a lot of places, but they didn't search the thatched house, and no one would have thought that Zhang Ren would hide things there.

As Zhang Ren approached, the smell became more and more unpleasant, and the stench was tangy, and everyone retreated.

Zhang Ren poured out the contents of the contents, and everyone looked at it, it was a stinky hyena corpse, and there were a few cow bones on the side of the hyena.

Xiangling's face changed, this sack was thrown into the mountain after she killed the hyena, but she didn't expect Zhang Ren to pick it up and keep it, it should be waiting for today.

Xiangling was a little troubled in her heart.

It is also a fact that she can confess that Wang Wenqian asked her to make beef.

However, if she really confessed Wang Wenqian, would Wang Wenqian admit it?

If Wang Wenqian admits it, he is a talent who is about to take the imperial examination, will it have an impact on stealing beef?

Looking at the meaning of the Wu family, as long as he recognizes it, he can be like Chu Gang's family and destroy the fortune and eliminate the disaster, but if Wang Wenqian can't participate in the scientific examination for the rest of his life, he seems to be unbearable.

Xiangling really wanted to pinch herself in the ear, complaining that she was too virgin, but she was really ruthless, after all, compared with forty taels of silver, Wang Wenqian's career seems to be more cost-effective.

To say or not to say?

Xiangling's hesitation, Jiang's was also confused, others didn't know, she knew very well, her family did eat beef, because Wang Wenqian took it, I didn't expect it to cause such a big disaster.

Jiang Shi clutched his daughter's cuffs tightly and didn't let go, and his nervous expression made people have problems at first glance.

Chu Lizheng immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, Xiangling, who he thought was absolutely credible, might have really eaten beef, and the beef bones in her yard were probably the ones she had eaten and not destroyed.

Even if Chu Li is biased towards Xiangling in his heart, but with so many pairs of eyes looking at it, isn't he so blatantly looking towards it.

Looking at Zhang Xiaocao's villainous appearance, Xiangling suddenly figured out one thing, the half-cut cow bone, she did not fall in her yard, it should be Zhang Xiaocao in order to frame her, and then dragged back the sack and threw it in her yard.

Perhaps, Zhang Xiaocao did not plan to use cow dung to plant stolen goods from the beginning, but to use this sack.

The sack is a special sack for the villagers of Wangxing Village to sell soybeans, and only Xiangling's family has it in Chujia Village, so it is impossible to deny it.

This Zhang Xiaocao is a conspirator, and he is very calculating.

Xiangling was in a dilemma, and two people appeared outside the door, led by the young man, clean as a spring, with meticulous hair and spotless white clothes, suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

He was as clean as a green onion and white bones, tightly pulled the little Xianglian on his side, and walked indifferently to the courtyard, everyone was stunned at first, and then instinctively gave way, letting the young scholar walk in front of everyone.

At this time, Xiangling discovered that the young scholar she usually disliked, the white clothes that were similar to cleanliness, and the scholarly style that was similar to pretentiousness, at this time, was as bright as the white moonlight.
