Chapter 143: Steel Stamp Paper Money
"Yes, yes!" Li Bei hurriedly responded.
"It's in the open space at the east end of the village, and no one dares to touch it! Master, I'll take you to see it now! ”
I nodded slightly, and under the leadership of Li Bei, our group came to the east of the village again.
At the east end of the village is a large open space, and on the immediate edge is a boxwood tree thicker than a water tank. There is a well next to the tree, and there is a grinding table next to the well.
Looking at the bright and lubricated grinding table, you can also remember that in the past, when you were in Babao Village, there would definitely be many villagers chattering around the grinding table after tea and dinner, gossiping, and gossiping.
There may be one or two old men playing chess around the mill, and a group of women sitting on the mill playing sweaters or picking buds.
Just near the mill is the place where the salute was fired, and the smell of gunpowder coming out of the salute barrel has not completely dissipated. It's just that there are no crumbs of ceremonial flowers all over the ground, and instead they are all red, yellow, white, and round square-hole paper money.
The paper money looked very strange, overwhelming, hanging high on the branches of boxwood trees, and low ones already sunk in the dirt.
I stepped forward and picked up a yellow piece of paper money. Brand new, the edges of the paper money are not smooth, the hair is stunned, and there is a steel stamp on the paper money.
Pang Guang stood beside me, looking at the yellow paper money in my hand.
"The latest batch of goods! It's also stamped! Heaven and earth Tongbao, our longevity shop also sells! ”
I nodded thoughtfully, now, I have almost figured out the truth of Ma Jinbao's death.
Ma Jinbao was indeed not killed by a fierce ghost, he was deliberately murdered. It's just that I know that the secret of this Babao Village has not been fully revealed. Because, these new paper money with steel stamps are filled with a very strong strange smell.
This strange smell is not like yin, not like evil, but more like an inexplicable, amazing, and sky-high evil.
I put the paper money under Pang Guang's nose. Pang Guang sniffed lightly, and he already knew everything.
"The whole village smells like this!" Pang Guang said.
Li Bei asked us suspiciously.
"What's the matter, what does it smell like? Are there really ghosts? ”
I said, "There is evil, there is evil, it is true! ”
Zhu Erxing immediately said next to him.
"So, Ma Jinbao was really killed by that kind of unclean thing?"
I smiled knowingly.
"Murderous things, how can they be clean!"
After a day of wandering around Babao Village, nothing else was found.
At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, a few of us returned to the village branch. Li Bei said that he would prepare some good wine and good food for Zhu Erxing to practice.
Zhu Erxing waved his hand again and again.
"Don't eat it! I won't drink it today! My wife and children are waiting for me at home! ”
I asked Zhu Erxing suspiciously.
"What? Village Chief Zhu is leaving? Stopped staying in the village? ”
Zhu Erxing said with a smile.
"I was originally a guide, take everyone to familiarize yourself with the environment in the village, and I can leave!"
Li Bei also said next to him.
"Village Chief Zhu is a good village chief, in order for the village to be demolished as soon as possible, I think that at the beginning, we were treated with all kinds of hospitality, all out of my own pocket.
It's just that now Babao Spring Chop is here! Village Chief Zhu, you don't have the position of village chief! ”
Zhu Erxing laughed.
"What the village chief is not the village chief! The common people got the demolition money and moved to the city one by one to live in western-style houses, which is much better than staying in this village and living a hard life!
My family has also divided hundreds of thousands, and I am ready to buy a house in the city! I'm also old, so the right is equal to retirement! What's more, there will be the state in charge of me in the future, and I heard that I can still do subsistence allowance in a situation like my daughter! ”
I listened to Zhu Erxing, Li Bei, and Sun Yikang.
I sat on the kang next to me and asked them casually.
"That's right! When Ma Jinbao died yesterday, he went to pee alone? ”
Li Bei replied: "That's not it! A few of us are addicted to peeing, and we all run out to pee! One by one, they were confused, and they urinated around the corner.
Sun Yikang's kid is still drinking big! fell at the door and ate, so I dragged Xiao Sun into the house first. After a while, Village Chief Zhu came back! Ma Jinbao never came back, who knew that he was killed by that evil thing! ”
All of this is exactly what I imagined.
Zhu Erxing had already hastily packed up his things, he had just stepped on his baggage and was ready to go. I took out a box of cigarettes from Pang Guang's pocket and handed one to Zhu Erxing.
"Village Chief Zhu, I still have some things about the village that I want to know. I don't know if I can delay you for some time, let's go up to the house and say! It doesn't take much effort! ”
As I spoke, I directly stuffed the whole box of cigarettes into Zhu Erxing's hand.
Although Zhu Erxing's expression was a little bad, he still asked me reluctantly.
"Master, you said that this dead man's matter has no effect on the demolition of our village! Boss Wang in the city, he won't suddenly regret it and not demolish our village! ”
This Zhu Erxing thinks quite long-term.
I smiled and shook my head.
"Village Chief Zhu, this is how worried you are! If you think about it, the villagers in your village have already received the demolition money and the contract has been signed.
From the day the contract was signed, everything that happened in this village had nothing to do with the villagers of Babao Village! Even if there is a loss, Boss Wang in the city will bear it alone! ”
"Oops! That's pretty sorry for Boss Wang! Zhu Erxing drank casually.
This is the gap between the simple peasant and the old profiteer Wang Linlai. is also dead, and the simple Zhu Erxing is worried about whether the demolition of the village will be lost! And his mother's Wang Linlai, who killed a thousand knives, is full of thoughts about his own money and his own land!
I sighed helplessly, patted Zhu Erxing's shoulder, and unloaded the backpack on his shoulder.
"Village Chief Zhu, take a step to speak!"
Zhu Erxing and I went to the conference room where Ma Jinbao's body was parked.
As soon as I stepped into the door, I was greeted by Ma Jinbao's bloody corpse and empty belly.
Zhu Erxing looked at the red corpse, and his right eyelid couldn't stop jumping. His face also became extremely pale.
I walked over to Ma Jinbao's corpse, turned my head and looked at Zhu Erxing gently.
"Village Chief Zhu, you can kill Ma Jinbao!"
Zhu Erxing's body tightened, and his voice began to tremble.
"Dao...... Dao Chief, what are you talking about? Zhu Erxing barely squeezed a smile out of his teeth.
I said, "In order to kill Ma Jinbao, you have put a lot of thought into it!" ”
I raised my eyebrows slightly.
"The paper money in the salute is new this year. There are only a few longevity shops in the entire Dongcheng City, and after investigating from house to house, I can't find who bought the paper money!
Also, the pile of bones found in the village, the soil on which has been renovated. The bones were dug up and buried in that place on purpose!
The main thing is ......"
