Happy pastoral event: a wonderful wife

Chapter 294 Amazing Discovery

As soon as the officers and soldiers saw Zhao Kui, they immediately surrounded him with a look of covetousness.

The leader of the officers and soldiers looked at Zhao Kui a few times, with a suspicious look on his face.

"Are you the owner of this house?" the leader of the officers and soldiers asked.

Although Zhao Kui didn't know why the officers and soldiers were here, he subconsciously nodded, "Yes, that's right, this is my house."

At this time, he was only thinking about the house, so when the officers and soldiers asked questions about the house, he immediately said that he was the owner of the house.

Seeing that he didn't deny it, and the expression on the leader's face was somewhat meaningful, he turned his head and told the officers and soldiers behind him, "Hurry up and search this house!"

"Yes!"

The officers and soldiers behind searched the house immediately without any delay. They were divided into several groups, some searched the house, some searched the yard, and some searched the original cellar of Erfang's house.

The leader of the officers and soldiers stood there, staring at Zhao Kui all the time, with a sense of oppression in his eyes, even if he didn't say anything, Zhao Kui could feel that the leader didn't want to let him go.

So Zhao Kui couldn't help it, and asked, "Officer, what are you doing? Are you searching for something?"

The leader of the officers and soldiers nodded without saying a word, and only gave Zhao Kui a positive reminder.

Zhao Kui didn't understand. The house was empty inside and out. There was nothing there. What were these officers and soldiers trying to search here?

"Officer, I think you are busy searching for something very important, right? You are not searching for important court criminals, are you?" Zhao Kui asked tentatively.

He remembered that, many years ago, many officers and soldiers went to their village. At that time, they said they were looking for some important fugitives, so they searched from house to house.

Although the search was fruitless later, Zhao Kui was still deeply impressed.

The leader of the officers and soldiers glanced at him, and replied coldly, "What is the imperial court's crime? Stop talking nonsense."

Zhao Kui shut his mouth embarrassingly, so he had no choice but to stop asking. He could see that the officer and soldier didn't really want to talk to him, so he didn't dare to speak anymore.

After a while, the officers and soldiers who searched the house came out. They shook their heads and said nothing.

Then, the officers and soldiers who searched the yard also said that nothing was found.

The leader of the officers and soldiers frowned, and murmured in his heart, could it be that the information he received was false?
Just this morning, the government received an anonymous letter, which said that a well-known rich man in the town had died, and his body was hidden in an ordinary farmhouse in Qingshi Village.

The officers and soldiers came here based on the address given in the letter.

The rich man mentioned in the letter was surnamed Feng. His family said that he had been missing for many days and had already reported to the government, but the government had not found the whereabouts of this rich man for a long time.

Just when the people in the government had no clue, this anonymous letter came, so the officers and soldiers rushed to Qingshi Village to search for the whereabouts of rich man Feng.

Just when the leader of the officers and soldiers thought that the anonymous letter was fake and might be a prank by someone else, a cry came from the cellar, "I found it, it's in the cellar."

Hearing the sound, the leader of the officers and soldiers and other officers and soldiers hurried to the entrance of the cellar, and Zhao Kui also followed.

Soon, an officer and soldier crawled out of the cellar, and said with a look of disgust, "The cellar is really smelly. There is really a corpse in it. Maybe it belongs to that rich man Feng."

When the leader of the officers and soldiers heard this, he quickly ordered someone to bring up the corpses in the cellar. For a while, the expressions of the officers and soldiers became more serious. Everyone knew that since the corpses were found in the cellar, it meant that the anonymous letter mentioned Everything said is true.

Zhao Kui stared blankly at these officers and soldiers. Some of the monks Zhang Er couldn't figure it out. He had no idea that there would be a corpse hidden in the cellar here.

"Officer, what are you talking about about a rich man and a dead body? How could there be a dead body in my house?" Zhao Kui asked suspiciously.

The leader of the officers and soldiers glanced at him and snorted, "I should ask you this question, not you. I'll see how you can explain it when I see the corpse later."

After a while, several officers and soldiers in the cellar lifted a corpse up, and the surrounding officers and soldiers covered their mouths and noses one after another, unable to stand the stench.

Only the leader of the officers and soldiers didn't cover his nose. He frowned and said in a muffled voice, "The smell is so bad, it seems that this corpse must have been placed for many days."

The officers and soldiers next to him said, "People from the Feng family said that rich man Feng has been missing for many days. It seems that this corpse should be rich man Feng!"

The leader of the officers and soldiers suppressed his nausea and stepped forward to inspect the corpse. Although the corpse had begun to rot and smell, the clothes on his body were barely visible. The fabric of the clothes was very fine, and there were many golden threads on it. Hanging a jade pendant, one can tell that he is a rich man.

"It seems that this is rich man Feng." The leader of the officers and soldiers stood up and said.

At this time, the officers and soldiers remembered that the owner of the house was Zhao Kui, and everyone realized that Zhao Kui had already run to the side and vomited.

When Zhao Kui saw the corpse for the first time, he was so frightened that he couldn't bear it anymore. He already vomited out everything he had eaten at noon.

The leader of the officers and soldiers walked to his side and said, "Okay, don't vomit."

Zhao Kui asked with a blushing face, "Master, who is this corpse? He...how did he appear in the cellar?"

"Hmph, stop pretending to me!" The leader of the officers and soldiers shouted, "We found the corpse in your house, you should give us an explanation!"

Hearing this, Zhao Kui finally realized that the corpse in the cellar had something to do with him.

Zhao Kui shook his head hastily, "No, sir, listen to my explanation. Although this house belongs to me, I have sold it to another person not long ago. This house has nothing to do with me."

The leader of the officers and soldiers stared, "Are you kidding me? Before you swore that this house was yours, why are you saying that the house has been sold now? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhao Kui panicked, had no choice but to quickly take out the house deed from his pocket, and told the officers and soldiers the ins and outs of selling the house, hoping that the officers and soldiers would understand that nothing in the house had anything to do with him.

However, after listening to his explanation, the leaders of the officers and soldiers did not buy it.

"Who are you lying to? Is there anyone in the world who bought a house but didn't want a deed?" The leader of the officers and soldiers said coldly, "I think you are clearly making up stories to deceive us!"
