"Oh, right!" Xiao Ran came to his senses.
"Uncle, why did you ask me to come here?"
At this point, he should accompany the lady to lose weight, but Xiao Ran called him over, and instead sent Laifu to keep an eye on the lady.
"Of course there is something important. You can get a set of clothes belonging to your lady later, put them on, and then go to Xinghua Village."
"Xinghua Village?"
Still wearing lady's clothes?
"Yes, the woman this morning is from Xinghua Village. Go find out and give her some silver."
The woman had only met Chu Yanhong, but not Qingtong. She asked Qingtong to dress up, maybe she could find out something.
"I'm dressed too well, won't the woman be suspicious?" Qingtong was a little worried. After all, something had just happened and he came to the door, so the old lady must be very wary.
"No, I have already inquired about it. The woman is a widow who relies on some crafts to support her two children."
As soon as he left the Yamen, Xiao Ran immediately asked Chu Yanhong to find someone to investigate.
"When the time comes, tell her that you are interested in the handkerchiefs she made, and ask her to make more of them and give her more money. She will definitely not be too suspicious looking at what you are wearing."
After hearing Xiao Ran's words, Qingtong still hesitated.
"What if she doesn't want to talk to me?"
Knowing Xiao Ran's intention, he was afraid that the matter would not go well, and Qingtong did not dare to take it.
"Don't panic, just tell me when the time comes that your child likes it and wants to learn her craftsmanship and make it for your sister. If you give her some money, you won't refuse."
"This will definitely help you strike up a conversation."
Qingtong nodded, Xiao Ran had already made arrangements, and she didn't have much to say, so she could only agree.
After everything was arranged, Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief when he watched Qingtong leave.
If he hadn't been injured, it wouldn't have been the turn of such a little girl to take action.
That afternoon, Qingtong followed Xiao Ran's instructions and appeared at the entrance of Xinghua Village.
Seeing Qingtong's nervous look, Xiao Ran still felt uneasy, so he and Qingtong sat in a carriage and waited at the entrance of the village.
"Go back quickly!" Xiao Ran waved his hand.
Qingtong nodded, cheered himself up, and walked into the village.
Not knowing the location of the woman's home, Qingtong could only ask all the way there. Fortunately, it was not far from the entrance of the village, and Xiao Ran could barely see Qingtong entering a courtyard.
I leaned against the carriage and looked out the window. There were many women working as farmers outside.
"Why are there not many men in this village?" Xiao Ran looked at the few middle-aged men scattered around, which seemed a bit out of place in Xinghua Village.
"Uncle, you don't know this." The groom turned around and said with a smile: "This Xinghua Village is also called the Widow Village."
"There was a soldier in this village before. He came back with great glory and called on other villagers to join the army. Those people were probably envious and they all followed him."
"However, we encountered a war and didn't come back."
Are you all going to be soldiers?
"This happened a few years ago. There were too many villagers from Xinghua Village in the list released at that time. At that time, the women in Xinghua Village often went to make trouble."
Xiao Ran understood a little and nodded: "It stands to reason that these people should be able to get a lot of compensation, right?"
Thinking about the women in the past who wore rags and had to do manual work to support their children, their lives were very difficult. This is not common sense!
"Too many people have died, so some compensation will naturally be..."
Needless to say, Xiao Ran knew what was coming next.
"It's so abominable!" Xiao Ran glared, this kind of corruption existed everywhere.
None of them are good!
In a village with few young people and children to feed, how can they survive?
Considering the situation of these people, Xiao Ran became thoughtful.
Just as he was thinking about it, Qingtong came back disgraced.
"How about it?"
Qingtong got in the car, and Xiao Ran couldn't wait to speak.
"People ignored me, took the money and closed the shop directly, asking me to pick it up the day after tomorrow."
Hearing Qingtong's words, Xiao Ran couldn't help but frown: "Have you used what I taught you?"
"After using it, people say it is a skill passed down from ancestors and is not passed down to others."
Having said this, Qingtong naturally doesn't want to embarrass the other party too much.
The two children in the yard were very skinny. Seeing how hard life was, Qingtong became even more heartbroken.
"Oh, let me think of another way!"
"Let's go back!"
Things were a bit tricky. It was almost dark when we returned to Chu's house.
The day passed like this, and there was still no clue. In the next two days, Xiao Ran had a headache.
When they learned that Xiao Ran had returned from Xinghua Village, the people in the dark couldn't sit still.
"He went to Xinghua Village?" Chu Tianshu sneered: "Did you find out anything?"
The servant who complained shook his head: "No."
"Dad, what we did is perfect, there is no way Xiao Ran can find out!"
Chu Sheng's face was full of pride. As long as he pulled down Xiao Ran and Chu Yanhong this time, the Chu family's property would fall into their hands.
"Take a message to the rest of the Chu family, don't mess up the situation." Chu Tianshu said to the servant.
After watching the servants retreat, Chu Tianshu looked at Chu Sheng.
"Has everything been taken care of?"
Seeing his father's worry, Chu Sheng waved his hands indifferently: "Are you thinking too highly of Xiao Ran? Even if you don't deal with it, will he come to my room and search it?"
"Asshole!"
Chu Tianshu roared angrily, making Chu Sheng tremble.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"I'll handle it as I tell you. Why is there so much nonsense?"
Chu Sheng nodded repeatedly: "I know! I'll deal with it right away!"
Seeing Chu Tianshu's fierce look, Chu Sheng didn't dare to refute, so he resigned and returned to the room.
"What a waste!" Chu Tianshu was a little helpless, why did he give birth to such a useless thing.
If you don't eliminate the evidence, will you be found out one day?
Back in the room, Chu Sheng was still a little angry, but he still listened to Chu Tianshu's words and took out a tattered piece of clothing from the box in the corner, with a lot of blood stains on it.
"I have suffered so many injuries, you will die this time!"
He held the clothes in his hands tightly and found a piece of cloth to wrap them up.
Then I quickly walked to the backyard. It was already dark by this time, the backyard was pitch black, and no one came.
When the cold wind blows, there is still an eerie feeling.
Throwing the things on the ground, Chu Sheng looked around to make sure there was no one there.
He took out the fire stick, lit it, and then blew it out. Starting a fire at this time would easily attract the attention of other people in the hospital.
After thinking about it, Chu Sheng looked around and his eyes fell on a shovel in the corner. He walked over and started digging a hole, which was half a meter deep. Then he turned around and threw his clothes in.
They buried it with soil and covered it with weeds. After confirming that it was seamless, they left with satisfaction.
At this time, a man stood up in the corner, looked at Chu Sheng's figure, couldn't help but smile, and then left the backyard.
