Relying on the system of criticizing people to become a god in farming literature

Chapter 14
"I just saw a large ball of clothes floating on the river from a distance. I thought someone's laundry was floating down. When I got closer, I realized that this guy is a dead man!"

"It's just that this person is face down, so it's not that easy to identify based on his clothes. It's better to wait for the village chief to come, and then arrange for someone to fish him out."

"Do you think this person threw himself into the river out of his own mind, or was he assassinated?"

"There is no way to say this accurately, and we are not co-workers."

……

Cheng Yao took advantage of her small size to slip through the gap in the crowd.

The whispers of the people around her fell into Cheng Yao's ears verbatim. Looking at the bodies floating in the water, she was also a little nervous.

Although she didn't directly kill the cripple Wang, she witnessed the whole process after all.

Cheng Yao has never experienced anything like this before, so she is extremely worried now.

"Hey, everyone, please give way, the village chief is here!"

After hearing this, everyone stood aside and cleared the space in the middle.

An old man, surrounded by the big guys, slowly walked over.

It can be seen that the village chief has a high prestige and the villagers respect him very much.

"Village Chief, please see how to handle this matter better..."

The village chief Zhang Runchuan raised his hand to signal the people around him to calm down.

After a while, the originally noisy crowd quickly became silent.

"Come on, let's help each other. First, we can fish the body out of the river and identify it."

As soon as he finished speaking, two brave young men stepped forward and fished out Wang Laizi's body with the help of tools.

The body landed on the shore and turned over. After everyone saw the face clearly, the scene exploded.

"Cripple Wang?! Why is it him?"

"This man values ​​his life very much. I don't think he could commit suicide."

"Isn't that right? He is as thick-skinned as a city wall. I have never seen him get worried at any time."

"And there's obviously something wrong with his eyeballs. It looks like he was murdered, right?"

"Although these words are a bit inappropriate, I still want to say that that person can be regarded as punishing rape and eliminating evil. This cripple Wang is really not a good person..."

The village chief Zhang Runchuan handed the crutch in his hand to others, squatted down, and examined it carefully.

Cheng Yao was a little surprised. Ordinary people would only think that corpses were unlucky and would not want to have too much contact with them.

According to the normal process, after being salvaged, you don't have to go into battle yourself and just take him to the county government office.

If the people above are willing to take it seriously and send people to investigate, then it will be investigated.

If no one cared, this would simply be treated as an ordinary accident.

But judging from the appearance of the village chief, it is clear that he has studied this art. Could it be that he also learned the craftsmanship when he was young and knows some tricks?

Just when Cheng Yao was thinking wildly, Zhang Runchuan spoke.

"This cripple Wang usually doesn't have a good reputation in the village. He does a lot of trouble-making. It's possible that he offended someone today."

"His eye sockets were sunken and his eyeballs were smashed. The other party should be an adult man with great strength, and he attacked in a very angry state."

"Looking at the body, it shouldn't have been soaked for a long time. It probably fell into the lake in the morning. Did you hear any strange noises around here today? It stands to reason that when there was a fight or argument, the accompanying sounds would be Not too small.”

Facing the questions from the village chief Zhang Runchuan, everyone thought seriously.

But everyone's answers were surprisingly consistent, especially the old man fishing not far away.

"Old man, I've been fishing on the front end today, and I haven't heard anything at all."

"Look, I caught a lot of fish."

"If someone is quarreling, I will definitely go watch the fun, but I can't sit still and fish."

Seeing everyone's negative answer, Zhang Runchuan frowned and thought alone. “We do not have the ability to self-adjudicate when encountering such a case with unclear dynamics.”

"Although this lame king is full of evil, it is a human life after all, and we can't pretend it didn't happen."

"It's better to report the situation to the county government truthfully and let the adults above handle it."

There is no better solution at the moment. For Wang Laizi, this approach is the most benevolent and righteous, and no one speaks out to refute Zhang Runchuan's decision.

"Village Chief, what should I do with this body?"

"Although the weather is cold now, it will stink after a long time."

"In addition, the cripple Wang is alone and has no relatives who can collect his body."

This is indeed a thorny issue. In the past, when a villager who had no direct blood relatives passed away, Zhang Runchuan would contact their clan.

After all, they were considered relatives of the same clan and somewhat blood relationship, so they still had money to assemble a thin coffin at the last minute.

But this lame Wang has long since been removed from the family tree, and now he really can only be a lonely ghost, unable to even enter his ancestral grave.

"There is a dilapidated and empty house at the foot of the mountain near the back mountain. Let's move him there first."

"After two days, if the higher-ups still don't send anyone, then I'll pay for it and simply bury it."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Runchuan shook his head, sighed, turned and left.

Only after he was gone did people start to complain.

"This lame Wang is still tormenting people after he dies. The village chief is kind-hearted, has a strong sense of responsibility, and is willing to take care of his troublesome things. If it were anyone else, he would have dug a hole and buried him."

"That's right! He was a scum when he was alive, and he has no peace of mind even after he dies. But once he dies, the village will be much more peaceful."

"Come on, let's help move him away. If you stay here, be careful to scare the faint of heart."

……

After the dust settled, the people on the river bank gradually dispersed, and Cheng Yao left in a hurry in order not to attract attention.

It seems that this matter has been resolved. Wang Laizi has neither parents nor children, so naturally no one will redress his grievances.

The village chief was just doing business, and no one cared about what happened next.

Only then did her floating heart settle down. Cheng Yao had no regrets. She felt happy at the thought of getting rid of such a big disaster!
Not to mention that the system rewarded her with a full 1000 points!

Cheng Yao instantly felt that she had become richer. Wouldn't she be able to eat whatever she wanted from now on?Drink whenever you want?
She experienced the mentality of the nouveau riche all at once, and it was simply ecstatic.

With the points, Cheng Yao doesn't want to go back to that so-called home.

It was in tatters and didn't even have a decent bedding.

Cheng Yao used to sleep in the firewood room. There was a small bed next to the tall firewood pile, covered with some straw and tattered cotton wool.

It was pitch black, not to mention how dirty it was.

At night, it's like an animal meeting, with rats, cockroaches, and geckos running around everywhere.

Cheng Yao couldn't help but tremble all over when she imagined that scene.

No, now she had to find a new place to stay, and she didn't want to go back to sleep in that shabby firewood room.

Anyway, those people won't notice whether she comes back or not. She just needs to show up the next day and simply make her presence felt.

But where can she go?

Cheng Yao couldn't help but stamp her feet and roared angrily.

"God, the sky is so big, where is my place?"

"When can I have my own house?"

At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly appeared in Cheng Yao's ears.

"How about...you go to my house first?"
