Watching Chen Ping leave angrily, the scene fell silent.
The ancestor hesitated for a long time, then turned to Chen Xiaobei and said, "Why don't we report it to the official? We have to get to the bottom of it and give an explanation to Anbang, otherwise this person will be in panic."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, yes, if the truth cannot be found out, he will always be suspected.
It is said that three people make a tiger. If this rumor spreads for a long time, I am afraid that I really framed Chen Anbang in order to become the chief.
"Okay, I'll go to the county government office early tomorrow morning."
The crowd slowly dispersed, but Chen Xiaobei was not sleepy at all.
The events of the past few days were filtered through his mind at lightning speed, and he had no clue.
Chen Anbang's death was definitely not an accident.
Someone definitely did it on purpose, but was the purpose of doing it for revenge or to target yourself?
Who else can get green bamboo leaves that are not even available in Dacang?
Since Liu Tie dared to say these words to him, he was eliminated as a suspect. Having said that, the Liu family had no reason to attack such a small character.
Hearing him tossing and turning here, Cui Hongyu was also very worried, so he asked tentatively, "Husband, who do you think is so cruel?"
Chen Xiaobei turned around and looked in the direction of Cui Hongyu. Although the room was dark, he knew that Cui Hongyu must be looking at him with concern.
"I don't know who it is, so I'd better wait until the county government sends someone to check tomorrow."
"Husband, are you talking about it being aimed at you? Just like what Chen Ping said, everyone will think that you are the one who wants to be the chief."
Chen Xiaobei sighed.
"Although I am ignorant and incompetent, I don't have any deep grudge against anyone. Who can't see me living a good life?"
The two of them talked like this, chatting with each other, until it was getting dark the next day.
In this era, for the rich, the death of a person is a big deal and very prestigious, but for ordinary people, it is a huge expense.
A thin-skinned coffin is also extremely expensive, otherwise the tragic situation of selling one's body to bury one's father would not often occur.
Therefore, the progress of today's project will be affected a bit. Some of the craftsmen have to go to Chen Anbang to mourn, and some have to help.
So Chen Xiaobei simply went to say hello to Lidong that the project would be suspended today.
Of course, the project was stopped, but Lidong and Dayong got a special task, which was to guard Chen Xiaobei's home.
Protect the safety of Cui Hongyu and Chen Qiaoer and prevent Chen Ping from causing trouble again.
After everything was arranged, Chen Xiaobei hurried to the county government in his donkey cart.
The county magistrate Hu Fan listened to his complaint very responsibly, and immediately sent He Laoqi and his people to rush to Hetou Village with Chen Xiaobei.
Seeing the official coming, Chen Ping immediately rushed to He Laoqi and cried out to He Laoqi how Chen Xiaobei had killed his grandfather.
After all, this was something the Liu family had taken care of, and He Laoqi knew it.
He gently patted Chen Ping's shoulder and comforted him in a deep voice, "Chen Ping, don't be so excited. If Chen Xiaobei dares to bring us here, it means that he is open-minded and has no evil intentions. Don't worry, we will check it out."
Everything comes to light.”
Chen Ping was very unconvinced after hearing these words, but he had no choice but to say so. Naturally, he did not dare to say anything more.
"Please, sir, give me justice."
He Laoqi nodded, called him aside, and went over the situation of the day in detail.
After saying that, he took the dead bamboo leaves and green leaves over.
"My lord, look at how the man chopped the snake into pieces in one go. It was obvious that he had silenced the snake."
Having the same reaction as Chen Xiaobei, He Laoqi almost laughed out loud.
Suppressing a smile, he nodded, "I already know about the good things. Please forgive me."
"Let me ask you, has your grandfather ever offended anyone?"
Chen Ping shook his head, "There are no enemies. Most of the people in the village are from our family. My grandfather is senior and the head of the village."
"What about those from other villages?"
"Grandpa from other villages doesn't have many contacts. Apart from going to the countryside to report on the situation, Cui Banxian will occasionally come to see my grandpa for a drink."
He Laoqi nodded. It was a common thing for a fortune teller to meet the headman for a drink, and there was no doubt about it.
But when he mentioned the room, Chen Xiaobei's heart skipped a beat.
Yesterday Chen Xiaowei told himself that Cui Banxian had come to Hetou Village.
Cui Banxian and the village chief often drank together.
Is this really just a coincidence?
Yes, He Laoqi shook his head slightly after hearing Chen Xiaowei's doubts.
"Cui Banxian can often drink with him, which just shows that the two have a harmonious relationship. Besides, it is normal for Mr. Sun Aimin to walk around the streets."
"Besides, this bamboo leaf green is not our local snake species. How can a fortune teller like him get it?"
Chen Xiaobei's view was exactly the opposite of that of He Laoqi. Cui Banxian met people from all walks of life, which provided him with sources of poisonous tongues. Maybe the rest of the village were ordinary people.
Where are you going to do this?
However, the nuclear subsidy trustee in front of him did not adopt his opinion, which made him a little depressed.
Well, since you don't accept it, then I will take matters into my own hands to solve this mystery in my mind.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Chen Xiaobei only called Chen Xiaowei and followed him to Cuijia Village.
Two children aged sixteen or seventeen should keep Cui Banxian's vigilance to a minimum.
Sure enough, Cui Banxian greeted them with a smile when he saw them, "Captain Chen, what do you want me to do when you come here?"
Chen Xiaobei frowned deliberately, "Hey, did you go to our village yesterday?"
Cui Banxian's smile was slightly stiff, and he nodded, "Ah, what's wrong with me going there every two days?"
"Well, yesterday, Chen Anbang died suddenly and mysteriously. Chen Ping reported it to the official, and the county government also came. No one saw you going there yesterday. Mr. He asked me to come and see what happened."
I hesitated for a moment, then suddenly started crying at the top of my lungs, "Brother Chen, why did you leave so suddenly? My heart hurts so much. What should I do?"
This sounds like a mother-in-law crying for her husband. What should you do if the relationship is so irreconcilable?
Chen Xiaobei was just so quiet, he didn't look anxious, and he didn't say anything when he tried to persuade him.
Cui Banxian howled several times, but finally couldn't continue the performance and stopped by himself.
"Captain Chen, what do you mean by coming to me? Do you suspect that I have harmed Chen Anbang?"
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "That's not true. I just want to ask you, have you ever seen any strangers go to Chen Anbang's house or come to his door?"
After blowing for a long time, my head shook like a rattle, "No, no, no, I didn't see, not a single person."
Chen Xiaobei asked a few more questions and then asked Chen Xiaowen to leave.
"Brother Xiaobei, do you really think that he harmed the chief?"
Chen Xiaobei didn't say anything. But he understood that the answer he just urged Banxian had.
