Guo Lou looked at the earthen bed in Huang Tian's bedroom. Two quilts were folded neatly and two embroidered pillows were placed on the quilt. It seemed that there were two people sleeping here. He stepped into the courtyard and accidentally stepped on the chicken.
The hair on his body was covered with excrement, and everyone was excited. He hurriedly stepped on a stone to clean the soles of his feet. Although Li Guolou ate chicken, he never touched chicken excrement. The countryside was full of cow dung.
Sheep dung and other animal excrement. Li Guolou wished he could fly, and he no longer knew how to walk as night approached.
Li Guolou touched his nose, hoping that the cold was still there and that he couldn't smell any weird smells.
Huang Tian saw that Li Guolou was not adapted to the environment in the countryside, so he quickly took a dustpan and a broom and swept a path in the yard to prevent Li Guolou from stepping on chicken and duck manure again.
Mr. Huang Tian was cleaning the chicken and duck excrement in the yard, while driving a group of chickens and ducks into their respective cages. He apologized and explained: "Captain Li, I haven't been home for a day. The yard is dirty. Don't mind."
Li Guolou felt a little guilty and said hypocritically: "Huang Tian, please stop working. We'll leave right away. Let's go and see where your daughter disappeared."
Huang Tian's daughter Huang Yinyin disappeared while washing clothes by the river. The wet clothes in the basin were still thrown by the river, and she disappeared like this. On the morning a month ago, there was a bit of foggy weather, and Huang Yinyin disappeared with the fog.
The whole village went out to search for it, and the police also came here, but nothing was found. It has become an unsolved case.
Li Guolou turned around and said: "Huang Baozheng, I will trouble you tomorrow to take me to another home of the missing girl. Where does that family live?"
Huang Bing pointed to the west and said: "It's not far, more than a mile from here. It's about to leave Huang Village. It belongs to a family with a foreign surname. What is the name of the missing little girl? I can't remember it at the moment."
In his heart, Li Guolou despised Huang Bing even more, as was the chief who maintained public security in Huang Village. Such a big incident happened in the village, and it had only been more than a year since he had forgotten the name of the missing girl Jin Xiuyu.
Li Guolou rolled his eyes at Huang Bing and said, "That little girl's name is Jinxiuyu. Do you remember it now?"
Huang Bing said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes! I just remember the word jade. We all call her Xiaoyu. Now that I am old, my brain is not as good as when I was young."
Li Guolou curled his lips and stopped irritating Huang Bing's nerves. On his territory, we still need sincere unity.
Li Guolou stood at the door of the yard and looked at the bare willow trees on the river bank. They were only thirty or forty steps away. At such a short distance, people disappeared like this. What kind of secrets does Huangcun have?
Li Guolou walked on the cobblestone path towards the river. Bluestone slabs were built on the river bank. One end of the slabs was soaked by the river water. The river flowed quietly at dusk. In the distant fields, people could still be vaguely seen.
Figure. The cold wind blew across Li Guolou's face, and the biting cold made him glow with fighting spirit. When he stepped on the land of Huangcun, he felt a sense of responsibility. Li Guolou would not be intimidated by the dirty things under his feet. He would never look at his feet again.
What the hell did you step on? Anyway, I’ll change my shoes tomorrow.
Li Guolou stepped onto the bluestone on the bank of the river. The river water had already soaked into his feet. The highly waterproof military boots prevented Li Guolou from feeling the cold river water on his toes. He bent down and touched the cold river water.
My fingers immediately felt stiff. This is where poor people wash their clothes, braving the biting cold wind and living a poor and monotonous life.
Jin Erzi stood on the shore and couldn't bear the biting cold wind. He shouted: "It's getting dark before Deputy Li comes up."
Li Guolou then stood up, turned around and said, "Huang Tian, please go home quickly. We will come find you tomorrow morning."
Huang Tian felt a little sorry and said, "The two officials only had a cup of tea and then left. I don't even know what to say?"
Neither Li Guolou nor Jin asked for a penny from the Huang Tian family. No one could do anything to harm such a poor widowed mother.
Huang Bing was dissatisfied and looking forward to Huang Tian in his heart. The thing he was dissatisfied with was that the northwest wind was blowing outside so late at night. The thing he was looking forward to was that maybe Huang, the village leader, would be unlucky if he did well in the exam and lose his official position.
Then he was promoted to a higher rank. So his tone was full of emotion, and he kept sighing for the Huangtian family. The poor and lonely man was worthy of the official coming all the way to help.
Li Guolou kept Huang Bing's disgusting words in mind and couldn't help but feel strange. Did Huang Bing also like Huang Tian? Li Guolou thought wrong about this matter and planned to write down every word and deed of Huang Bing in his notebook.
Above, he plans to write a book of tens of thousands of words tonight.
The country people stay indoors at night, and the lights are dark. The poor people are reluctant to light oil lamps in their homes, and the rich landlords' homes are blocked by high walls and can't see a trace of light.
Li Guolou followed Huang Bing to the door of the richest landlord's house in Huangcun. Two huge stone lions were sitting at the door of the courtyard. The stingy landlord Lao Caihao Huang Kaohao didn't even light the lanterns on the eaves. Country people just save money.
The richest people in Huangcun are so stingy, and can't compare with the prodigies in the city. The door was half opened, and when he saw Li Guolou and others coming, he hurriedly opened it all. Huang Kaohao walked out with a smile on his face, and came up.
After a long speech, two servants or long-term workers stood aside, bowing and bending, smiling charmingly in response.
Li Guolou felt a little sorry. They were waiting for them at the door in the winter, which was a little too enthusiastic.
Huang Kaohao is under forty years old. He is a bit chubby, has a short beard, and has a red complexion. He is less than five feet tall. At first glance, he is a good drinker.
Li Guolou didn't want to stay in the courtyard any longer, so he followed the enthusiastic host Huang Kaohao into the living room.
The charcoal stove was baking warmly, making people feel hot all over. Li Guolou, Jin Erzi, and Huang Bing hurriedly took off their coats. Huang's two wives, who had passed the exam, were preparing wine and food, preparing to play the role of maids.
How could Li Guolou be willing to let his wife be a maid? He hurriedly said that he didn't mind if men and women sat at the same table. Li Guolou had already seen that the landlord, the old rich man Huang Kaohao, was a stingy person. He didn't even have a maid in his family, and he didn't raise any slaves. He only used long-term workers to do the work.
live.
The table was full of game, poultry, and fine wine. Li Guolou wanted to say no to extravagance, but he couldn't say it. He was already prepared. Besides, his inner defenses had collapsed. From the first moment he saw the kind and affectionate Huang Kaohao, he felt that this was the case.
People don't look like bad people.
Li Guolou pushed the glass and refused to drink. Huang Kaohao immediately changed his face and said, "Sir Li, you look down on us country people, don't you?"
The chubby little wife Huang Yueshi rolled her eyes at Li Guolou and said sweetly: "Chief Li, let me pour you some wine."
Li Guolou stood up in fright because he knew about the dirty things in the officialdom. Some people let their little wives sleep with their superiors. No matter whether it would happen or not, they still had to take precautions in the future.
Li Guolou blushed furiously and said anxiously: "Don't bother Huang Yuezhi, I'll do it myself."
Li Guolou already felt his feet being stepped on by Huang Yuezhi, and he secretly made up his mind to sleep in the same room with Jin Erzi that night.
Jin Erzi glanced at Li Guolou and felt that this officer was not on the stage at all and would be embarrassed again later. He quickly stood up and said: "Huang Cunzheng, my officer goes to sleep as soon as he drinks, so I'd better drink more."
After speaking, he poured half of the wine in Li Guolou's filled wine glass into his glass.
Li Guolou was grateful to Jin Erzi Jianghu for helping him out, but he was also ashamed of his drinking capacity. The more he drank, the more he liked to drink, but his drinking capacity did not increase.
Li Guolou saw how the country people drank rice wine, and before they started eating, he came to serve three glasses of wine. Whether they kissed or not depended on the three glasses of wine. Li Guolou also drank three half-full glasses of wine, with a pretty face.
, immediately turned red.
Li Guolou secretly felt ashamed that he had not yet told Huang Kaohao the truth about the case. The hospitable host had become the defendant. Should he talk about it? Li Guolou thought to himself that as long as there was no evidence, it would be better not to talk about it.
, Only in this way will they provide convenience in investigating the case. Otherwise, nothing will be asked about on their territory.
After three rounds of drinking, he felt even better at the banquet. Li Guolou couldn't help but said: "Huang Cunzheng, Huang Tian has sold all the land, how will he live in the future?"
Huang Kaohao glanced at Huang Bing and said: "This matter is not over yet. Mrs. Tian broke the rules of our Huangcun and sold the land to outsiders. Mrs. Tian is ignorant of good and evil, and I will make her suffer."
Huang Bing smashed the table fiercely and said, "Brother Huang, as long as you give the order, I will drive Mrs. Tian back to her husband's house. If she does this, she is not from Huangcun."
Li Guolou took a look at Huang Bing. He was such a fickle person. He should be an actor. If Huang Bing was the defendant, he believed that this person was the principal culprit of Huang Yinyin's abduction and trafficking.
Li Guolou and Jin Erzi glanced at each other. Jin Erzi ignored Huang's two wives who had passed the exam and said: "Huang Cunzheng, I heard that you want to give Huang Tianshi fifty taels of silver. Is this true?
"
Huang Kaohao was so bold that he said, "Yes! I just wanted to help the widowed Tian family, but she misunderstood her and came to my house to make a fuss, saying that I had abducted her daughter and that I must give her to her."
Hand over my daughter. I just want to be a good person and help her get through the difficulties, but she was called such a vile person by her filthy words. Call me a village masa and be ridiculed by others. Hey!" After saying this, Huang Kaohao drank a cup.
After drinking the rice wine in one gulp, I felt endless sorrow in my heart and glanced at the two wives with a bit of resentment.
Li Guolou is the best at guessing people's hearts. Looking at Huang Kao's good expression and the shameful faces of his wives, he understands that the two wives are not good enough. Huang Kao really wants to change his luck and find someone who has given birth to a child.
When a woman was working as a mistress, Huang Kao must have expressed her feelings to Huang Tianshi at that time. The treacherous Huang Tianshi just didn't talk about it. She just wanted the government to continue sending people to solve the case. First, there was a reasonable suspect, and what happened next
Mr. Huang Tian will not care.
It is also possible that Huang Tianshi has become stubborn, like a donkey, and thinks that everyone in the village is the bad guy who kidnapped and trafficked her daughter. No wonder Huang Tianshi has lost popularity in Huangcun. Huang Tianshi also took away her dead husband.
The remaining land was sold to people with other surnames, which only added fuel to the fire. Huang Tian's days in Huangcun were numbered. Li Guolou's mood became sinking. He felt that he had a heavy responsibility. If he could not handle it well,
Regarding the Huang Tian family, it is very likely that the widow will commit suicide.
