In Mianniu Mountain.
As expected, the team stopped in front of the 'sister's' grave. Everyone discovered that the originally dug grave had been filled up and covered with soil again. The soil was also covered with leaves, dead branches and thatch. To cover up.
But as long as these things are pulled apart, the soil underneath will appear to have been recently cultivated.
"Even if the owner of this tomb has moved, he shouldn't use his graveyard to do these things. Those people are so wicked!"
Yang Huazhong shook his head and sighed, and Li Jia and Li Jia took out two knives of papyrus from the basket they brought over. They lit an incense candle in front of the grave, and then ordered someone to dig up the soil.
The two villages found seven or eight men to shovel around the grave. Soon they could no longer shovel because a large coffin appeared underneath.
"Ah? Why is there a coffin here? There are people buried in it, right?" One of the men was so frightened that he dropped the shovel in his hand and did not dare to dig any more. The other men also stopped.
Yang Huazhong quickly asked them all to move back. Just as he was about to step forward, Yang Ruoqing came over.
"Let me take a look."
Yang Ruoqing rushed to the grave ahead of Yang Huazhong, raised her hand and pushed open a crack on the coffin board, which was red and exuded a strong smell of tung oil, and then moved her eyes to the seam of the coffin to look inside.
The onlookers were stunned when they saw Yang Ruoqing's actions.
Yang Yongqing sneaked up to Yang Huaming at some point. He whispered to Yang Huaming in a low voice, "Fourth uncle, Qing'er is so brave!"
Yang Huaming opened his mouth and wanted to tell Yang Yongqing that the Qing'er you see is always the side that can do business and make money. You have never seen her other side in darkness, but I have seen her...
Killer dried beans, what does it mean to just push open the coffin lid?
"The things are inside, come and move them!"
Over there, Yang Ruoqing knocked on the coffin and turned to Yang Huazhong and Li Jia.
Yang Huazhong nodded and personally led people over to lift the lid of the coffin. There were indeed bags of food inside.
Li Yi and his son, one of the victims, naturally followed, and they recognized the contents of the coffin as belonging to him at a glance, because the marks made by him on the twine bags were still there.
Because there were so many people, everyone simply carried the coffin out together.
But when they were lifted out, they were dumbfounded because there was a coffin underneath.
"Is there... someone down here?" someone in the crowd asked timidly.
"It makes no sense. I have found the food from my brother's house, but I haven't seen any gifts yet!" Li Jia said.
Li Yi bravely said: "Let me push aside and take a look."
Then, he followed Yang Ruoqing's example before, stretched out his hands, first spit into the palms of his hands, then rubbed them, and when he was done, he pressed his hands on the coffin lid, in a posture to exert force.
Yang Ruoqing watched from the side and shook her head secretly. Not to mention imitating her, she pushed her right away, but she didn't spit in her hand. It was disgusting.
Li Yi had done so much preparation work, but when he pushed it, he found that the coffin board was not moving at all.
He was a little embarrassed and called Li Wei next to him to come over and help push together.
It could be seen that Li Wei was a little reluctant, Li Yi glared at him: "Hurry up!"
Li Wei had no choice but to come over, and the father and son pushed together. With a clang sound, the father and son used too much force and pushed the coffin lid to the ground, almost hitting the feet of the people nearby. The man jumped up and flashed in fright. to the side.
"It's a thing, not a dead person!"
Li Wei shouted excitedly when he saw what was in the coffin.
Others also gathered around, and then, under the instructions of Yang Huazhong and Li Jia, everyone took out the things one by one, piled them all aside, and then counted them on the spot. After counting, they loaded the truck.
To put it bluntly, 70% to 80% of these things were stolen from Li Yi's house. As for the things they had stolen from other people's houses before, they couldn't mention them at all.
A bowl of meatballs from Lao Jiangtou's house, half a bowl of meat dishes from Old Lady Gu's house, half a bowl of braised pork from Hei Feng's house...
Those who were eating food were probably stuffed between their teeth by thieves on the spot. This trip was basically to help Li Yi's family recover their things.
Li Yi squatted beside the pile of things and carefully counted and calculated, and then said to Yang Huazhong: "One hundred kilograms of rice and six kilograms of brown sugar are missing."
Yang Huazhong was stunned and looked at the stolen goods on the ground. "They should all be here. Is it possible that they are hidden in several places?"
Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps they divided it a little after they stole it, so the amount is different."
At this time, someone in the crowd loudly agreed with Yang Ruoqing's guess, saying: "Qing'er is right. My family lives behind Yang Huasheng's house. I have heard his family pounding rice in the middle of the night for the past two days. In the middle of the night, 80% of the rice It’s just something that can’t be seen in the light!”
Someone else also said: "Mrs. Huasheng's face has been glowing in the past two days, maybe it's because she drank brown sugar water and her complexion has improved."
Someone took the lead, so every word you said to me started to counter the Yang Huasheng family's abnormal behavior in the past few days, and everyone was possessed by Conan.
Both Yang Huazhong and Li Jia heard what the villagers said, so Yang Huazhong said to Li Jia and Li Yina: "Let's do this for now. Bring back the supplies we can find. Then we will see what is missing and how much is missing." Report it to the government and ask the official to help the owner find an explanation."
Li Jia agrees with this approach, which is also the best solution.
So I went to talk to Li Yi again, and Li Yi nodded in agreement.
Everyone loaded the things into the mule cart and took them back to the village.
Please note that these things cannot be taken back to Li Yi's family in Lijia Village yet. They must be stored in the ancestral hall in Changping Village and sealed.
When they go to the county government to interrogate the thieves, let them explain clearly what they have stolen, and then sign and sign the documents. With the official documents signed and signed, they can come back and compare the seized materials with the owners to claim them.
To put it bluntly, these things belong to Li Yi's family sooner or later, and they will all be returned to their original owners.
It's just that since the thief has been sent to the official for investigation, you have to follow the procedures. It is a bit troublesome and the time limit will be a bit long, but in the end the property will be returned to the original owner.
After finishing all this, it was already approaching afternoon.
Li Yi and Yang Huazhong said: "We have been tired today because of our family affairs. Originally, I wanted to buy a table of wine and food and invite everyone to sit at my house at night. No, Xiao An is getting married tomorrow. Things are rushing. We're all together, and you don't have time to go and sit down. Otherwise, I'll be tired later. Third brother, please write me a list of the brothers who contributed today, so that I can go door to door to say thank you."
Since this was Li Yi's intention, Yang Huazhong, as the middleman, would definitely not be able to refuse on behalf of the brothers who contributed. Although he was upright, he did not have the power.
