The barns are not close to each other, and there is no one to light a fire for the animals to keep warm. The animals cannot drill wood to make fire themselves. If they can burn it, it must be artificial.
However, it is not easy to find the person who set the fire among thousands of villagers.
The reason Wang Shitou told Yun Chao before that someone might have set the fire was because of him, because he...
Well, he found nothing, it was all speculation.
However, Yun Chao didn't think Shitou was talking nonsense at all, and he thought so himself.
If the guy who set the fire was not caught, Yun Chao would have trouble sleeping and eating. If it was arson today, it might be an assassination tomorrow!
The animals were scurrying everywhere, and the entire Wolong Village was alarmed.
The villagers spontaneously caught the straying animals and brought them back to Yun Chao one by one.
Soon, Yun Chao heard a piece of news.
Someone told Yun Chao that before dinner, he saw Lai Zhicheng's third son wandering around his house.
Moreover, there was more than one person who had seen Lai Xiaosan, several villagers had seen him.
In addition, Zhang Sihai also told Yun Chao that he heard from the villagers that Lai Zhicheng's wife left Wolong Village with Lai Xiaosan and Zheng Qiaoyun early in the morning, and it seems that she has not come back yet.
The Lai family is a thorn in the side of many villagers, and everyone is paying attention to their every move.
"Go, Shitou, take a few people with you and go to Lai Zhicheng's house to see who is at home?"
Wang Shitou agreed and left with ten boys.
As soon as he arrived at Lai Zhicheng's house, Wang Shitou frowned.
I saw a copper lock hanging on the door, indicating that no one was home and the door was locked from the outside.
If it were someone else, he might have gone back and reported to Yun Chao.
But Wang Shitou is different. Although this guy looks simple and honest, he is actually very considerate.
Taking people around Lai's yard, Shi Tou quickly discovered something fishy.
Lowering his voice, Shitou pointed at his two boys: "You two, climb up this tree, climb in and take a look!"
There was a big willow tree next to the courtyard wall of Lai Zhicheng's house. The two boys climbed up it using their hands and feet.
Suddenly, a boy shouted from the tree: "Brother Shitou, there is someone in the yard, it's Lai Xiaosan!"
Shitou twitched the corner of his mouth: "Lai Xiaosan, get out of here. If you don't come out, I will smash your door!"
Lai Xiaosan was in the yard looking up at the thick smoke in the sky, feeling very happy in his heart.
Yun Er, can't you? Burn your livestock to see if you can do it?
Wait, Yun Er, I will burn your livestock today, your house tomorrow, and your wife the day after tomorrow...
Suddenly, Lai Xiaosan heard someone shouting from behind him. When he turned his head and looked, he was almost scared out of his wits!
I don’t know when, two people climbed up on the big willow tree outside the wall!
This time, Lai Xiaosan was frightened.
He thought he had been exposed for setting the fire, and Shitou had brought someone to arrest him!
In a panic, Lai Xiaosan didn't dare to go out, so he turned around and ran to the backyard.
"Brother Shitou, Lai Xiaosan ran to the backyard!"
The two boys on the tree became lookout posts, and everything in the yard could be seen clearly.
Lai Xiaosan wanted to run out of the back door, but when he heard someone shouting from the tree, he was so frightened that he immediately changed direction, turned around and ran towards the wall on the other side.
"Brother Shitou, he's going to climb out of the opposite wall!"
This time, Lai Xiaosan did not stop, because he believed that the stone could not run so fast. As long as he was fast enough, he could climb out of the wall before the stone came around, ran out of the village, and went to Xiahe Village to find the stone. My own mother.
However, Lai Xiaosan never expected that he could finally climb up the wall. Just as he was about to jump out, he saw two Yun Chao's men standing outside the wall. It turned out that Shitou had already made arrangements and asked the two boys to go around to the yard in advance. the other side!
This time, Lai Xiaosan's claws became numb, and with a plop, he jumped back into the yard.
At this time, Lai Xiaosan heard Shitou asking the two guys from the willow tree to jump into the yard to catch him.
At this time, Lai Xiaosan was completely panicked: "Don't let any of you come in. If you come in, I will set the house on fire!"
It's a pity that this trick usually works for his family members and is invincible, but for Shitou and the others, it doesn't even count.
"Okay, little brat, set it on fire quickly. I want to see how you set your house on fire!"
With two thumps, the two boys in the tree jumped into the yard.
Lai Xiaosan was completely panicked, like a headless fly, scurrying all over the yard!
However, despite his age, he couldn't outrun Yun Chao's two boys. He was kicked over in just two strokes and pinned to the ground!
Knowing that Lai Xiaosan might be the culprit who set fire to the barn, Yun Chao's two boys would not show mercy. Not only did they kick him hard, but they also caught him harshly. The pain made Lai Xiaosan scream!
Lai Xiaosan finally knew he was afraid.
In the past, when the eldest brother and the second brother took care of themselves, it had never been so painful!
Unfortunately, it was too late to be afraid at this time. Worried about Lai Xiaosan biting someone, Yun Chao's two boys found a rag from nowhere and stuffed his mouth with a plop!
The front door was locked and it was difficult to get in and out. The back door was bolted from the inside. Two boys opened the back door and took Lai Xiaosan out.
Shitou glanced at Lai Xiaosan, and without asking, he could roughly guess that this guy was the one who set the fire.
Lai Xiaosan's face was black and white, and there was charcoal ash everywhere. It was obvious from a glance that he had gone too far not long ago.
"Take this kid back and leave it to the second brother!"
"Woo...Woo..."
Lai Xiaosan was so frightened that he thought of Huang San.
When Yun Chao executed Huang San that day, Lai Xiaosan was at the scene and saw it very clearly from beginning to end.
Huang San, a lively young man, was stabbed through the chest by Yun Chao with one knife, and he died miserably!
Now Shitou wants to hand him over to Yun Chao, is that still possible?
He must have been stabbed to death by Yun Chao just like Huang San!
Lai Xiaosan didn't want to die yet, he hadn't lived enough yet, but his mouth was gagged and his hands and feet were tied. No matter how hard he struggled, it was of no avail!
Soon, Lai Xiaosan was brought to Yun Chao.
Looking at Lai Xiaosan, who was not yet ten years old, Yun Chao gnashed his teeth.
Is this the Dawu Dynasty version of the naughty kid?
"Shitou, call all the villagers to gather urgently. I want to discuss with everyone how to deal with this kid!"
"Yes, second brother!"
Shitou agreed, and just as he was about to strike the gong, Jia Mancang, who was responsible for guarding the village gate, ran over: "Brother Chao, Lai Zhicheng's wife and the village chief of Xiahe Village are here. They said they want to see you. Do you want to let them in? "
