Chapter 33: The county grandpa whose corpse was hung

The cold winter has quietly left, and in early spring, the blue sky is spotless, like a blue satin that has just been washed, sometimes with a wisp of white clouds like smoke floating in it.

This is a good time for spring plowing, as the willow buds will become more plump, and it is also a good time for raising seedlings of various fruits, vegetables and crops.

Father Wang looked at the crooked words on the paper package and saw that these were the seeds given by Fu Bao.

"Dad, these seeds are big and plump. We will be able to grow something good."

"That's right, unlike the seeds distributed by the county, they are so shriveled that only the shells are left, and each person only has a little bit."

"Soak the seeds overnight to help them germinate faster."

As in previous years, Mr. Wang and his family plowed the ground, waited for a spring rain, and then planted the cultivated seedlings into the ground.

"Everyone, come out quickly, big news!"

Fang Cuiying gasped and didn't wait for Wang Yongye who was holding various things behind her.

"What's wrong? Don't be anxious. Speak slowly!" Li Zhenxiang patted her back to calm her down.

The two women who had gone to town today followed closely behind, with panicked expressions on their faces.

Father Wang was still scraping the mud off his shoes. He was so flustered that he got up quickly in fright.

"Let me tell you, that dog officer is dead. He was stripped naked, disembowelled, his limbs chopped off, and hung under a big tree in the market."

The more Fang Cuiying talked, the more excited she became. She danced and danced with fright and fear on her face.

"What!?"

Hearing the news, everyone in the family was extremely shocked. Was he killed?

"Let me tell you, Brother Ye and I went to the stall this morning and saw a bunch of people gathered under the tree. I almost lost my soul when I looked at it. That intestine... vomit~"

Liu Chunlan and Zhang Guihua also joined the commentary team, which is a big deal.

An Ran is holding on to the small bench. I want to hear what is so shocking!

Several women sat together, and the men also put down their work, listening to what was happening in the town.

An Ran listened with relish to her second aunt's detailed description. The fat-headed and big-eared county magistrate she saw last time was offline.

It was offline too quickly, and he died in such a tragic way. Who killed him? He also hung his body in the market, so arrogant.

You must know that he is the head of a county. Even in a poor and small place like theirs, he is a truly powerful person.

"I don't know who is so capable, but he can eliminate evil."

The Wang family man felt very comfortable and admired this unknown hero from the bottom of his heart.

You must know that this county magistrate was just a loser. He bullied the people and was greedy for money and lust. Now that he is dead, he can be considered a blessing to the people.

Everyone who saw the scene today was detained and awaiting questioning one by one. Even the market was closed.

Those who were curious stayed to inquire, while those who were afraid of being implicated hurriedly left the scene.

Wang Yongye added that the person who killed the county magistrate was not very skilled, and his limbs were chopped off in a mess, which was worse than killing a New Year pig.

Now in the yamen, trees have fallen and hozens are scattered, and everyone is on tenterhooks, fearing that they will be next.

A matter as big as this has been reported to the state capital, who will naturally send people to investigate.

"I heard from other people that there seems to be an uprising, but I don't know if it's true." Wang Yongye was much more cautious in what he said.

They set up a stall at the market every day, and he noticed that there were a lot more people coming to their stall to eat noodles recently.

An Ran was already being held in the arms of Father Wang, and both his grandfather and grandson moved forward in order to hear more clearly.

Uprising? An Ran thought of many uprisings in history, most of which failed.

Maybe they were born in a bad year, and some desperate people wanted to rebel against the imperial court. Bandits with no power, no money, and no background gathered together, hoping to hit the stone with an egg.

In addition to the Wang family, the news spread to every household in the village. Some of the rumors became more and more outrageous, including knights who robbed the rich and helped the poor, and heroes who punished evil and eradicated evil.

Basically, they glorify the unknown fugitive criminal.

Even if a big stone stirs up splashes in a calm lake, people still have to live their lives.

It's just that the county magistrate of Tongluo Town next door has suffered a lot, and he has started to hold two jobs again, tossing back and forth every day.

The Wang family has not been out on the streets recently. The county government has issued a notice that the market will be closed for a few days. At the same time, adults who are here to investigate the murder case are also on their way.

In the past few days, An Ran's walking has been getting better and better, and sometimes he can walk a few steps without holding a chair.

"Fu Bao~ Come and see! We have a cat!"

An Ran watched several brothers running over with two kittens in their arms, and listened to the cat's grandma's cry.

After a few boys ran back, there was a tabby cat following the door, followed by several kittens. When they arrived at the door of their house, they stopped and looked inside.

An Ran recognized it. This was not the calico cat that he had seen years ago. The kids called it Xiao Hua Zai.

A few years ago, she gave birth to a litter of cubs, but an ignorant boy secretly took two of them back.

The kittens in the litter have grown so big now that they have all been weaned.

"Let's give our cat a name." Wenbo stroked the kitten's head.

Liu Chunlan looked at a group of boys gathered together and wondered what she was doing with Fu Bao.

"Where did you get the cat?"

"Grandma Hua gave it to us. Grandma has a lot of cats in her house." He pointed to the door.

Discovered by the people at the door, Xiao Hua Zai ran a few steps away with his own cub, and then lightly jumped to the low wall aside to take a peek.

This is because they are worried about their cubs and want to take a look at their owner.

Liu Chunlan also liked the two kittens when she saw them. Her family had not had a cat or dog for many years. Their life was difficult. People could not feed them, so how could they have anything to feed the animals?

In fact, she also likes these little fluffy things. Now that they have so much food, they can raise them and catch mice.

An Ran's chubby hands touched the fur on the kittens, and they felt very comfortable, especially one that she had an impression of.

There was a group of spots on the nose, which was the one Wenbo caught for the first time and showed to her. Fortunately, it was alive at the time, but one of them was gone.

"This one is called Rice Krispies, and this one is called Sugar Ball. These are my favorite."

"No, I want to call you Little Tiedan. My mother said that it would be easier to make a living by choosing a random name."

Several children quarreled over the name, and no one wanted to give in. They said they wanted to call each other their own names.

"How about we let Fubao decide, this is the name we chose, and we let Fubao catch him, and whoever is caught will be named."

This was Wen Zhuo's idea, because everyone likes Fubao, and they also like what Fubao likes.

Fang Cuiying saw several children choosing names and wanted to get involved. She thought of two good names: Jia Cai and Wan Guan.

An Ran discovered that her second aunt was still a little money-crazy, but she actually had a name in mind, especially for the fateful cat cub, who looked very distinctive.

The spotted spot is just above the nose, like a little Baga, hahaha, Baga cat.

There is a very true-colored cat, a civet cat, which has not inherited the spots of the cubs. It can be seen that their cat father is a civet cat.

The boys took out small wooden sticks, marked them, and asked her to catch them.

She didn't know what name each stick represented. Looking at it, she wondered what name it had been given just now.

An Ran grabbed two strands at random, one long and one short.

Some people are happy and some are sad. Fang Cuiying is overjoyed. It's a good sign! Unexpectedly, Fu Bao caught her by the name she gave her.

"Oh ho ho~ Fu Bao has caught me, from now on you will be called Wang Tiedan~" Wen Hua circled happily.

The big winners this time are Fang Cuiying and her son.

Wenbo's little face pouted, the name he chose was so nice, but he didn't like the name Wang Tiedan.

The ellipses floated across An Ran's mind, and the two names she drew were Tiedan and Wan Guan. She just remembered a few good ones.

"This one is called Tiedan. Grandma Hua said that this is a female cat and cannot be called Tiedan." Wenzhuo still considered the cat.

"Okay then, you are Tiedan and you are Wan Guan."

An Ran silently apologized to the kittens, not knowing whether they liked these two names.
