Chapter 20: The Horror of the People 2
Now, when there is food theft, everyone is terrified.
"Old man, you've got to catch that damn thief, that's sweet food for our family." The daughter-in-law of the city lord kept crying.
The old man of the city lord looked at his mother-in-law with a pensive expression.
Just now he also went to the kitchen to check his cabinet, and there was no trace of the cabinet except for the wooden plank from the back.
From this aspect alone, the other party should be very familiar with his family, and even be able to easily find out where his food is placed.
It can be seen that it was done by acquaintances, but they have no evidence, and every household in the entire Beicheng has some nests and chaff grits, how can he check?
If you want to investigate this matter, it is simply impossible.
After hesitating for a moment, he came to his daughter-in-law and stretched out his hand to pull her: "Get up, what kind of body is it to sit on the ground?" ”
"What? Old man, this is what you are not going to look up? The old woman looked at her old man incredulously.
"Forget about this matter, just put things away in the future."
"No, this matter must be investigated." The old woman did not give up.
"Stupid, the other party can do it without leaking, then it can be seen that the other party's methods are very clever, do you have to lose your life to be happy?"
Being scolded by the old man like this, the old woman didn't dare to call anything anymore, and looked at the old man nervously, "You, you mean, that person can kill?" ”
As soon as she said this, the people around her sighed one by one, and they were happy.
"Hmph, don't you think about this, in the future, every household will put their own food, don't be stolen anymore, it's all scattered." After speaking, the lord turned around and left.
The people present all quickly headed towards their homes, and when they returned home, they quickly hid all the only food they had in the house.
It was like an episode, and it was quickly forgotten.
Leng Xuesheng didn't stop her movements until the evening, however, there was a set of clothes in front of her. The general outline of the dress can still be seen, but if you investigate it carefully, it can only show that the handiwork is really poor.
Leng Xuesheng rubbed her fingers, those needles had pricked her several times in the afternoon, and almost all of her ten fingers had a needle hole.
However, the clothes are finally ready.
In the evening, she ate a nest and waited for everyone to sleep, so she went out to wash herself and put on new clothes.
However, there were people guarding the city that night, and this was also discussed by the people of Beicheng.
When Leng Xuesheng came out, she noticed that something was wrong nearby, so she hid in the dark and carefully observed the main street of the entire Beicheng.
It wasn't long before she saw a group of men walking around the city with torches, as if checking on something.
It wasn't until the group of men walked past her as they spoke, that she realized that they were guarding against thieves.
It seems that they have stolen the food of the city lord's house, and they have begun to take precautions.
That's not a good thing, it seems that stealing food can't be done.
turned around and walked towards the Leng family, the location of the Leng family was relatively remote, so when she came, the people of the Leng family had already rested, she found a wooden barrel in the courtyard, turned around and left quickly with the bucket.
