Chapter 54: Li Erniu was dumbfounded
Li Erniu scolded and roared impatiently, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" I'm going to the county. ”
Tao Bai's eyes were full of joy when he looked at Qiao Xuan, he originally held a grudge against Qiao Xuan, but he didn't expect that the only person who believed in him at this moment was her, and he had mixed feelings in his heart for a while.
"Maybe you can go back and look carefully at home" Qiao Xuan was not angry, and proposed in a good voice.
Xi He glanced at Li Erniu coldly, and said lightly: "The official also needs evidence, if you can't get it when the county magistrate asks for human and physical evidence, and you can't prove that it was indeed Tao Bai who stole your things, then you should be beaten instead." ”
Li Erniu: "......"
Combining what Xi He said with Qiao Xuan's words about the chaos of the county government at this time, his heart was a little empty.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Then I'll go to the house to find it again, if I can't find the money, my fifty wen will either be out of the village head, or Tao Bai, but as far as I know, Tao Bai's family is now poor."
Didn't Qiao Xuan say that Tao Bai didn't steal money, anyway, when he came, the house had already searched all over the house, and Wuwen was indeed missing, and if he couldn't find him, he would let her out.
Tao Bai's face turned black all of a sudden, who is poor and jingle? It's good that he has a small coffer, and it's so ugly.
"Why is Qiao Xuan? The money was not taken by her" Xi Yan was upset for Qiao Xuan, isn't this pure slander.
"And what if the money is found? You have to give Tao Bai an explanation for all the shouting and scolding! ”
Qiao Xuan asked with a smile after giving Xi Yan a reassuring look.
"What else do you want to give him?" Li Erniu let go of Tao Bai and rubbed his hands.
"So be it! I'll help you find money, if you can't find me, I'll pay you fifty yuan, if you find you, give me half of it, is it feasible? ”
Qiao Xuan smiled and set Li Erniu.
"I'll also help the village chief find it," Tao Bai volunteered, rubbing his neck.
"Okay!" Li Erniu simply agreed, he was sure that he had found every corner of the house.
"Let's go!"
The group of people who were going to leave the village walked to Li Erniu's house in the village in a hurry, and even Li Yue and the others followed them, after all, they were idle, and it was not bad to watch a lively scene.
Li Erniu's house is at the foot of the easternmost mountain in the village, although he is a bachelor, not to mention that the yard is clean, and his pig-killing knife hangs on the rope under the eaves.
In the courtyard hung a gray coarse cloth garment and a pink caftan on the clothesline.
"Huh! Tsk tsk. ”
When a piece of clothing that obviously belongs to a woman appears in the single's house, anyone who sees it will pout their lips and feel contempt in their hearts.
Li Erniu strode over, tore off his clothes and rolled them into a ball, threw them into the toilet, turned to look at Qiao Xuan, "Don't mess up my things, look for it!" ”
Tao Bai touched his nose and strode towards the room where Li Erniu slept.
Li Erniu was afraid that he would steal again, so he hurriedly followed.
Qiao Xuan looked around the small courtyard unhurriedly, and someone behind him urged, "Village chief, don't be stunned, hurry up and look for it, if you can't find it, you will lose money." ”
Xi He and Xi Yan also looked around, as if they were thinking about where to start first.
"Hey, hey, don't rummage through my closet."
Li Erniu's angry voice came from the room, Qiao Xuan hooked the corners of his lips, and entered the room with his hands behind his back.
She asked Li Erniu: "Where did you put your money and throw it away?" ”
Li Erniu pointed to the low table next to the bed, "I put it on it, and it disappeared after I came back after talking to Tao Bai." ”
Qiao Xuan's gaze moved downward, and at this time, two big hands lifted the low table in the air.
Xi He was tall, his back was straight to block the light from the doorway, and the room was dark, and he seemed to notice this, and turned around with the table.
"It's-"
Li Erniu's eyes widened at the boss, staring directly at the fifty yuan stringed together under the table, but it was not the string he put on the table in the morning.
"Look! Let's take a look! I'll just say I didn't steal it! ”
Tao Bai became angry now, and he had a feeling of raising his eyebrows with his hands on his waist and tilting his head, proving that he had been wronged, and slapped them in the face of those who doubted him.
"Hey, it's not you! I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”
"I just saw that Tao Bai really doesn't look like he has done something bad, he is not weak at all, although he stole things before, although he has a hard mouth, but he always gives people a sneaky feeling of weakness."
The group of people who came into the room to watch the excitement immediately changed their conversation and began to speak for Tao Bai.
Li Erniu scratched his head in embarrassment, this is really a bit faceless to face Tao Bai, he shouted at people to report to the official, and even beat and scolded, but he didn't expect that people were wronged.
"What are you still doing? Shouldn't you apologize? ”
Qiao Xuan said quietly.
Xi He put down the low table, bent down to pick up the money on the ground, and after taking half of it, the remaining half was thrown to Li Erniu.
Li Erniu was unwilling but couldn't stop it, just now he promised to find half of it for Qiao Xuan in front of everyone.
"Brother Tao, I'm really sorry! This time I was sloppy, and if I can't do it in the future, you can forgive me. ”
Tao Bai picked it up at this time, "This is gone?" Not at all? I was beaten and scolded by you for nothing? ”
Li Erniu: "......"
After a pause, he patiently asked, "Then what do you want?" ”
"Lend me your board car for five days, and I'll pass it as a matter of time, how about it?"
Tao Bai has been repairing the yard recently, and he used to carry soil with a basket, and he was tired to death.
"Okay!"
Li Erniu gritted his teeth and agreed.
"It's okay, let's all disperse!" He waved his hand and said loudly.
Qiao Xuan, Xi He, and Xi Yan followed everyone outside.
"Village chief, how do you know that Li Erniu's family's money has not been lost?" Li Yue asked curiously beside Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan glanced at her, "I'm sharp-eyed, and I can't hide anything from me, so don't think about doing anything bad behind my back." ”
Li Yue tugged at the corners of her mouth, taking Qiao Xuan's words as a joke.
As soon as he entered Qiao's house, Xi He handed Li Erniu's twenty-five yuan to Qiao Xuan.
No matter how small the fly leg is, it is still meat, and Qiao Xuan took it and put it in her money bag.
