Chapter 224

The villagers realized the seriousness of the matter when they heard that people were killed.

"Village Chief, what's going on?"

"Is what Liu Guihua said true?"

"Is Xiao Qiao really dead?"

Several women whispered to each other.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I saw Bie Xiaoqiao. It turns out that he is dead."

"When did you die?"

Zhen Youqian said seriously, "You don't know the ins and outs of the matter, it's best not to go out and talk nonsense, otherwise it will be bad for everyone."

"Don't worry about Xiao Qiao, I hope that only those who are present tonight will know. Before the county magistrate investigates it clearly, don't let people in other villages know. If the story comes, it will become a hot topic and ruin the reputation of our Peach Blossom Village."

As soon as the reputation of the entire Taohua Village was mentioned, some villagers began to complain.

"Why did something happen to another family?"

"Last time it was Liu Guihua, this time it's Liu Guihua's daughter Bie Xiaoqiao. Their other family is the disaster of our Peach Blossom Village. They don't agree with our Peach Blossom Village. We should drive them out earlier."

"My daughter was just at the age of marriage, but she died here. Don't delay her saying that she is a good family. If you delay, see if I don't tear this bitch Liu Guihua into pieces!"

"Liu Guihua is usually bitter and mean. No one in the village can get along with her. It's better to drive her out. Let Taohua Village be clean."

Zhen Youqian said, "Don't discuss it yet, leave this matter to the county magistrate."

"Although Bie Xiaoqiao is a little absurd, she got pregnant by doing scandalous things with others before marriage, but after all, she is from our Taohua Village, so it's okay to die outside for no reason."

"The dead are the most important. Everyone is dead, so it's not easy to hold her accountable."

The villagers agreed one after another.

"If a person is still alive and is found to be pregnant out of wedlock, according to the village rules, he must be immersed in a pig cage."

"But if the villagers deal with it together, they will deal with it. It's not up to outsiders to kill Bie Xiaoqiao in private."

"It's true that we can't let her die in ignorance."

"If I can't find the murderer every day, my heart will be up and down every day, and I won't dare to go out alone in the future."

"What if that person becomes addicted to killing?"

"Let's report to the police as soon as possible. The sooner we find the murderer, the sooner we can feel at ease."

Zhen Youqian nodded.

"Tomorrow morning, I will take the two of you to the county seat to report to the officials."

"Which of you will go with me?"

Xu Yuan took the initiative, "Village Chief, let me go with you."

The other villagers look at me and I look at you. Everyone thinks that one thing is worse than one thing.

Zhen Youqian frowned.

"Every time something good comes up, you fight to get it, and when it's your turn to use you, it's nothing to do with yourself!"

"This matter concerns the whole village, and it's not about me alone!"

"When we arrive in the county, we don't know what will happen to us. People who may need to run away at that time, in case something happens, we can send someone back to pass on the news, and another person will come."

A villager said, "Village chief, it's not that we don't want to contribute, and other things are fine. This is a human life!"

"What if the county magistrate investigates and detains us before the murderer is found?"

"We are not idlers. We have endless work to do every day. If we are not at home, who will take care of the chickens and ducks at home, and who will take care of the crops in the field?"

Although what he said made sense, many people did have that concern, but how could Zhen Youqian fail to see that they didn't want Zhao Rui to be troublesome?

Human life is at stake, and it's really not good to get involved.

Compared with these fine people, Xu Yuan appeared to be very honest and honest.

Just as Zhen Youqian thought so, someone who had a good time with Xu Yuan reminded Xu Yuan.

"Brother Xu, isn't your family Yuanyuan getting married next month?"

"During this period of time, you should take care of your feathers and don't get involved in this muddy water."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you get into any trouble and ruin your daughter's marriage, sometimes you will regret it."

Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then showed a hesitant expression.

Zhen Youqian, "..."

What the man said made sense. Although he needed manpower, Zhen had money and didn't want to bully honest people, especially when Xu Yuan's family really had a big deal.

If it is really delayed, can you blame him, the village chief, in the future?
"Xu Yuan, what he said is reasonable, so don't meddle in this matter."

"Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens."

Xu Yuan's eyes were full of emotion.

"Thank you for your understanding, the village chief, then I won't go."

"But if I don't go, and no one goes with the village chief, is it possible that the village chief wants to go to the county seat alone?"

Zhen Youqian scanned the crowd again.

"Is anyone else coming with me?"

Gu Rao said, "Village Chief, my husband and I just came back from the county seat not long ago, and our house was burglarized again, plus we are in a hurry to open a restaurant, so I'm afraid I don't have time to go with you."

"However, this matter is more related to us. Liu Guihua wants to frame this matter on us. The village chief, you take the initiative to report the case, which will save us a lot of trouble."

"Although we can't go with you, we are willing to take a tael of silver as a reward."

"The five hundred wen is what the village chief deserves, and the remaining five hundred wen should be shared among the two people who are willing to go with the village chief."

Zhen Youqian's frown immediately relaxed.

"You still have foresight and generosity, so I'm here to thank you for the whole village."

Gu Rao hurriedly said, "It's all what I should do, I don't deserve this thank you."

A woman asked, "Major, can a woman go with you?"

"The head of the house has to do the work in the field, so I don't have time to spare. As a woman, I can do it. The family is away from me for a day or two, and there are still a few children who can take over my work."

Zhen Youqian shook his head.

"What are you doing with us as a woman? It's inconvenient."

"When going out to do errands, it's more convenient for men to be together."

The woman was very dissatisfied.

"Isn't it just running away? Men can, why can't women?"

"Village chiefs don't look down on people."

Zhen Youqian explained, "Where did we live in the county town?"

"I can't find a room for you alone, can I?"

"Either find a room where the three of us stinky men live together, or it's more economical and live directly in Tongpu."

"Do you want to live with us, or do you want to sleep with us in the bunk?"

The woman blushed.

"Then I won't go."

Although I am greedy for the 250 Wen, it is indeed a problem to live in the county.

Pity.

Her man really wants to work, and he can't do without him.

The villagers who had nothing to do with themselves just now became very active in participating.

"Village Chief, I have a lot of people in my family, and I can come here without me alone. I'll go with you!"

"Village Chief, I not only run fast, but also have great strength. If there is a fight, I will definitely rush to the front. Take me!"

"I'm smart, and I can give you some advice in case something happens, village chief, just let me go with you."
