Chapter 170 Catch the Food Thief

She let Rourou out for a walk for a couple of times, gathered some medicine, and went back.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Mr. Wu drying things, she hurriedly asked, "Grandpa Wu, do you know where my father is?"

"Ah Li is back! Your father has gone to the field to see how the tenants are fertilizing."

"Oh, yes, I know!"

Seeing that her father had gone out, she didn't look for it. After washing her face, she went to sort out the medicine she picked.

Not long after, Lin Changlu came back with a leaf bag in his hand.

Seeing the medicine basket by the yard, he knew that Ah Li must be back.

"Lili, are you back?"

Ah Li is grinding pearl powder. There are so many pearls in her spiritual realm, she plans to use them to grind into powder for Wu Lan to condition her skin.

Hearing her father's voice, he ran out immediately.

"Dad, you're back!"

"Do you see what Daddy brought back?"

Ah Li curiously took the leaf bag and opened it.

"(⊙o⊙) Wow, it's my favorite wild strawberry!"

"I knew you liked it, so I picked it specially for you. In the past, other children in the village spoiled it early. I didn't expect that no one picked it here,"

"Thank you dad!"

Ah Li smiled sweetly, took one and threw it into his mouth directly. It was sweet and sour, juicy and very fruity.

At this time, she remembered what she heard on the mountain today.

Immediately pulled Lin Changlu into the house and closed the door.

"What's the matter, carp?"

"Father, I went to the mountain today and saw people sneaking in the bushes, but I accidentally heard them thinking about what to do in Zhuangzi. As a result, we came today, and they didn't continue. Did someone do something bad? "

Hearing this, Lin Changlu frowned instantly. He believed what A Li said, and he also thought in his heart that Zhuangzi and the others had just bought it, and there must be many people who wanted to make trouble.

"Did you hear anything else besides these, Lili?"

"Yes, among those two people, one is Li Shu from Zhuangzi, and the other is probably not from us. Li Shu called him Guanshi Chen. They also mentioned a big landlord."

Hearing about Landlord Wang, Lin Changlu had heard that the man's Zhuangzi was not very far from their place, because there was a lot of land, about one or two hundred acres, all of them were called Landlord Wang.

Thinking of this, he probably knew what they were for.

The Mid-Autumn Festival had just passed, and the grain in the field had just been harvested, and it happened to be loaded into the granary. These people probably did it for his grain.

"Buying a Zhuangzi is really full of twists and turns."

"Father, what should we do, or I'll arrest that man."

"Silly girl, how can people accept something without evidence."

Ah Li frowned and thought about it.

"Hey, Dad, I have a solution."

Then she whispered in Lin Changlu's ear.

In the evening, Lin Changlu called the brothers of the Wu family to have dinner together and said something by the way.

The next day Lin Changlu took Ah Li and left in a carriage.

At night.

A few dark shadows quietly came to Zhuangzi's granary and began to steal the grain. They felt that they were acting cautiously and did not make any noise.

However, they never expected that someone had been secretly monitoring their every move.

Just when they were about to leave with their sacks on their shoulders.

Lin Changlu suddenly came out of the dark and appeared in front of them, with a particularly angry expression on his face.

The black shadows were so frightened that they wanted to run away, but Lin Changlu was already prepared, and Wu Da and his brothers surrounded them with torches.

"Sure enough, people can't be too kind. They shouldn't have kept you in the first place."

Li Shu, who was walking in front, was carrying the sack on his shoulders, whether he let it go or not, his forehead was beaded with sweat, and his legs were trembling slightly.

"Dong... Dongjia, you..."

"You want to say that if I'm not gone, why come back! Hmph, if you want people to know, you have to do nothing about it, you know what collusion the king and the landlord have with you."

As soon as these words came out, Li Shu and the others immediately put down the food and knelt down with a "plop".

"Master, I'm sorry, it's our lard that made a fool of ourselves and made such a mistake, please avoid us!"

"Tell me, how did you discuss it with Landlord Wang?"

Those who were kneeling did not dare to raise their heads to answer.

Lin Changlu pointed directly at Li Shu and shouted loudly.

"you say!"

Li Shu was already a little overwhelmed with fright at the moment. He was a little scared when Guanshi Chen found him, but he didn't expect to be arrested now.

"Dong... Dongjia, Wang... Landlord Wang asked Chen Guanshi to find us, and told us to give him grain, and five cents a catty of grain. We were also forced by life, so we..."

"Hmph, you guys are really capable. It would be nice to sell my godfather's food for money, and let you work here to support a family. I didn't expect you to be so heartless."

Wu Lan took A Li by the side and angrily cursed at the few people kneeling on the ground.

Several people bowed their heads begging for mercy.

"I can't use you anymore. Fortunately, I just bought this Zhuangzi. This batch of grain was also sold to me by the former owner. If I don't find out this time, I will lose a lot. I should report it to you for doing this." The officer will let you taste the bitterness."

As soon as Lin Changlu wanted to report to the police, Li Shu hugged Lin Changlu's thigh and cried, "I beg your boss, please don't report to the police. We are wrong, we really know we are wrong, please forgive us! We still have wives and children to support. After entering the Yamen, we will never find work again."

Lin Changlu was not a cruel person, so he finally chose to open the net.

"Forget it, I don't want to make a fuss at night, you give me all the food back, and leave here before dawn tomorrow, don't even try to take away the things that belong to my Zhuangzi."

Several people felt deeply ashamed and remorseful. Under the supervision of Wu's family, they moved all the food back to the original place, and apologized deeply to Lin Changlu.

Now Lin Changlu's newcomer is only the Wu family, so he also entrusted them with the work of looking after the granary.

Of course the Wu family was very happy. In the past, they risked their lives to go to the mountains to gather medicine to earn a little money.

Now the work is much easier, the food is good and the house is good, they are very satisfied, and they are very grateful to the Lin family.

Wu Lan even regarded Lin Changlu and the others as a family. If Wu Da hadn't stopped them so quickly this time, she would have rushed up to beat those guys who were eating inside and out on the ground.

Soon the other tenants were also woken up, and Liu Tiezhi got up from the bed and ran to the granary without even getting dressed.

Seeing Li Shu and the others moving food again, they instantly understood that something had happened.

He hurriedly pleaded guilty to Lin Changlu, because he was the head of the village and didn't even find out about it.

Lin Changlu was indeed a little angry, but he didn't blame too much, just asked him to pay more attention in the future.
