Liu Renli immediately laughed. They have been sleeping outside these days, so cold that they can't sleep. They nodded at the old man.

"That's good. Let's follow the old man! By the way, I just saw a new tomb in the east of the village. A woman was paying homage to the grave, but she was wearing gorgeous clothes. It was really strange. Do you know that this woman is from the village?"

The old man looked in the east direction, glanced at Liu Renli again, and his vigilant heart was relieved, and he lowered his voice to Liu Renli:

"The woman's husband's family is Chen Xinrong. Her ancestors were from the village. However, she moved to Wuqing County three years ago. It is said that she had a meat-selling business. However, she died of tuberculosis and returned to her hometown for burial last month. She had never seen anyone in the Yang family village. She just heard from my son that she was a woman who looked charming. She came over when she was buried. She looked sad. However, Chen Xinrong's uncle felt that his nephew's death was strange. He went to the county to hand over the complaint. Not only did he not tell him clearly, but he was beaten. We don't know what happened. It seems that it is May 7th today, and he has come back to his hometown to pay homage."

Liu Renli was stunned. Unexpectedly, he was just watching the woman's gorgeous clothes pay homage to the public. She was actually involved in the case at this moment, which surprised him a little.

"This case has been tried?"

"I really don't know if my son is going home or not, but his uncle seems to have gone to Tongzhou."

As he said that, his steps did not stop. Several people followed the old man to the village. Liu Renli knew that the old man had heard it and did not care about it.

A few half-aged children were running at the entrance of the village. When they saw such a carriage, they felt a little strange. The old man felt glossy on his face and politely led Liu Renli and others home.

As soon as Liu Renli entered the door, he swept around. The old man's family could only be described as being barely scattered. It seemed that half of the east wing was used to live in and half was used to pile up debris. A girl about the same age as Xiu'er saw someone coming, so she hurried into the house.

There was a curtain inserted into the west wing door, and the curtain was lifted into the main house. There was only a round table and a few chairs. The paint was all gone, and the original color was completely invisible. Liu Renli did not think it was dirty and sat down quickly.

The old man went to the back room to explain.

Soon the old woman brought all the better food at home, but some pancakes, pickles, some raw onions and radishes, and of course the pack of jerky in the middle.

Liu Renli asked Zhou Yian to pick up a pot of wine from the car. The old man smiled even more happily when he saw it. After drinking a glass of wine, he became popular.

He talked about the situation of the people renting people in the village one by one. Zhang Zhuan looked at several people and quickly recorded this in a small notebook. This understanding was much faster than the previous undercover investigation.

After half of the wine and food, Old Man Chen's son came back. When he saw someone at home, he was surprised. However, when he smelled the smell of the wine, he couldn't sit still. Liu Renli didn't care about this and poured him a cup.

After three cups, his face turned red and he instantly opened up the conversation.

"Although you are dressed normally, you don't have calluses on your hands, and your words and demeanors don't look like rough people. It must be the government who sent you to investigate, right?"

Liu Renli was stunned. He didn't expect this kid to think so much, but before Liu Renli could say more, he shook his head and continued:

"If you want to know, just ask directly. My parents gave birth to six children. I am the fourth child and my sister is the sixth child. Except for the four of us who died, how can these dozens of acres of land support so many people? I'm going to do this every day. My father doesn't know that if you come to arrest me, just don't disturb him."

As Chen Laosi gestured with two fingers to hold up, Liu Renli glanced at Zhou Yian. It was obvious that Zhou Yian understood and said a word to Liu Renli with a lip.

"steal".

Liu Renli suddenly realized that it seemed that Chen Laosi thought they had arrested him and did not think about struggling at this moment. After all, they were quite polite to Old Man Chen, so they told the truth through alcohol.

Liu Renli looked at Chen Laosi and shook his head slightly.

"It's not that I caught you, but I met Mr. Chen on the way and had a good time talking. We sent him some jerky meat. The old man was sorry and wanted to invite us home to have a cup of hot tea."

Chen Laosi was stunned and immediately grinned. He helped the dizzy Mr. Chen and sent the person to the inner room. Then he came back again and approached Liu Renli with a slight mouth.

"I think too much when you don't look like a businessman, but you can tell me what you want to check, maybe I can know something."

Liu Renli was not polite either. He picked up the wine pot and poured it on Chen Laosi. Then he poured a cup for himself, raised the glass to his lips, and looked at Chen Laosi.

"I don't have much investigation. I just want to see the farming in Tongzhou. If it's good, I'll send someone to collect grain next year. However, after walking around, I found that this place suffered from snow disaster last year and sowing was too late. This year, it suddenly cooled down. The wheat was frozen to death, and the harvest was not enough for food."

Chen Laosi sighed, "Natural disasters occur every year. I am in the county town. I heard that the emperor allocated funds to the affected areas every year or reduced taxes, but we tenants could not get benefits. Many people in the village either went to a job in the capital or sold their children."

Speaking of this, Chen Laosi spat on the ground, with contempt on his face.

"If I talk about it, the great charity talent mentioned by my father is the most unfair. He pretends to be a great charity and seems to take good care of the tenants. In fact, he is the most unfaithful. The food and money allocated for disaster relief have been divided up by them and the county magistrate. He often hooks up with a married man and conspires to kill the woman's husband together. He feels shameless when he thinks about it."

Liu Renli narrowed his eyes, put down the wine cup, approached Chen Laosi, and asked with confusion:

"How do you know this? Could it be that you have seen that great good man Zhang?"

Chen Laosi nodded, touched and took out a cloth bag from his body, and opened it carefully. There was a jade pendant inside. You can tell that it was definitely not an ordinary person based on the quality.

"See, this is the jade pendant on Zhang Dashanren's sachet. Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming, there was no rice in the house. On October 20, I went to Wuqing County to get some food. Following the smell of meat, I touched a house. As soon as I loaded some rice and grain, I heard a sound in the back wall. I hurried to hide in a house in the backyard. Who would have thought that a person would come in with the sound of the door? I saw that this person was Zhang Dashanren. I was stunned at that time. Zhang Dashanren entered the house and hugged the woman and said intimately. The two of them nagged in the east room. Only then did I know about the snow disaster that had allocated disaster relief money to Tongzhou last year, but how could we see it?"

Chen Laosi picked up the wine cup and took another sip, with a look of horror in his eyes, and then said.

"I hid behind the screen in the west room and didn't dare to come out. I thought I would come out again after I left, but at this time I heard a whimpering sound in the room where I was in. I was frightened at that time. Just as I was about to escape, I heard the shouts of the woman. She ran over with a stick. I hurriedly hid in the gap next to the bed. The woman hit the bed a few times, and the whimpering sound became weaker."

Liu Renli was stunned. He didn't expect that Chen Laosi would encounter such a strange thing even if he stole theft. He immediately put down the wine cup and listened carefully.

"Then the great charity came in and said to the woman, "You man will suffer even if you are half dead, so why don't you give him a ride." The woman was stunned and asked, "What should I do?" Then, the great charity asked the woman to prepare a small pot. He took off his big flask and threw it beside the bed, took out a piece of iron lump and threw it into the pot, saying that it was the tin that was burned and poured it down, and the person was gone, and there was no injury on the surface, so I could just bury it quickly. Then the two of them sang for a while, and the woman came back with a small pot. I was watching from the back of the screen. The great charity pressed the person on the bed and opened his mouth. The woman poured a pot of tin water. After struggling for a while, the person stopped moving. I hurriedly hooked the big charity that the good charity threw on the couch. The jade pendant fell into my hands. As soon as the two went out to call people, I was so scared that I quickly ran away from the back window."

After the story was told, Chen Laosi quickly took a sip of wine, as if he recalled such a thing and could still feel the horror at that time.
