Chapter 178 Not allowed to report
"My God, since we can get one hundred taels of silver, then we can eat delicious and spicy food every day!"
"That's right, let me think about whether there are any strangers in the village recently?"
"By the way, didn't the second cousin of Tiedan's daughter-in-law's family come here once? But he doesn't look like a fugitive!"
The leader asked: "What does that person do? How is he dressed? Is he a nearby villager?"
The villagers said excitedly: "He is a digger. He wears the same clothes as us. I don't know how many patches have been put on the clothes. He is from a village near us. His cousin married into our village. The last time Come here to visit relatives!"
"Yes, yes, but he is not from our village, so such a person should be considered a stranger?"
The face of the leader is completely black. What they want is a stranger. Why is a local villager telling them this?
If the timing wasn't right, he would have dug their heads open to see what was inside!
He took a deep breath and said, "People nearby, don't tell me, what we want is a stranger, and an injured person. Is there anyone in your village who invites a doctor?"
The villagers said without even thinking about it: "Master Guan, you don't know, we are so poor that we can't even afford food, so there are still people to hire a doctor!"
"Isn't it? I usually have a headache and brain fever and treat it myself. I still need a doctor."
The leader did not give up and said: "If you think about it carefully, this kind of thing doesn't happen every day. It's like a pie in the sky. Now you don't have to do anything and just take a hundred taels. Land can’t earn that much!”
Although the villagers wanted the hundred taels very much, there were indeed no strangers in the village. They shook their heads one after another: "Recently, there are really no strangers in the village."
Fortunately, Cheng Yu came late last night, so he didn't meet anyone along the way, otherwise these people would have killed them right now.
Old man Zhao just drove the bullock cart to the entrance of the village. When he saw the officers and soldiers, he was also a little curious, and asked the people beside him.
"What happened? Why are so many officers and soldiers here?"
The kind-hearted man answered the old man Zhao: "Isn't there a fugitive here? These officers and soldiers are here to catch the fugitive..."
Before the man finished speaking, people not far away saw old man Zhao coming, and shouted: "Why did you come, we are in a hurry to go to town, hurry up and catch the car."
Old man Zhao said quickly: "Here we come~"
What does catching fugitives have to do with him, he is still busy making money!
Old man Zhao had no idea that he passed by a huge sum of money.
The group of people didn't take old man Zhao seriously, after all, what can a bad old man know?
If he knew something serious, wouldn't he just tell them?
The group of people saw that the villagers didn't know what to ask, and they were still watching the fun, so they didn't want to spend any more time with them, so they arrested a person and asked him to take them to the village chief's house.
After the group of people left, the villagers started talking among themselves, and most of the topics revolved around "one hundred taels of silver".
When Chen Xiang came out of the field, the villagers were still talking about it. She only listened to it as a joke and didn't take it seriously.
So he picked up the bucket and went home.
Seeing her coming back, He Dahai couldn't help complaining, "Why did you come back? Are you still addicted to work?"
Chen Xiang explained: "Didn't I watch a scene at the entrance of the village, so I came back later."
"What's the excitement?" He Dahai asked casually.
Chen Xiang said: "Didn't the officers and soldiers come to arrest someone, saying that the person was a fugitive and was injured. If anyone can provide clues, there will be a hundred taels of silver!"
After finishing speaking, Chen Xiang shook her head, one hundred taels of silver is not so easy to get, and the murderer is not that stupid, so he will definitely hide it well, and let them see it.
Unexpectedly, He Dahai's expression was very complicated after hearing her words.
Chen Xiang saw that her man's face was not right, so she couldn't help asking: "Father, what's the matter with you? Did you see that man?"
"What nonsense!" He Dahai covered her mouth in fright, and then quickly closed the door of the house.
Chen Xiang wondered: "What's the matter?"
After doing this, she also began to feel uneasy.
He Dahai said in a low voice: "Yesterday I saw He Yufeng and Su Li carrying a **** man back from the mountain, Su Li picked it up on the mountain, and I saw the letter she asked Fantuan to send to He Yufeng. "
At that time, he felt that this matter was not simple, but now it seems that it is really not simple.
Chen Xiang was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth: "This is a serious crime. I heard from the group of yamen servants that the man is a fugitive, and he will be beheaded for harboring a fugitive."
He Dahai nodded and said: "That's right, I didn't expect them to be so courageous, even daring to hide murderers."
Chen Xiang came back to his senses, and was about to walk out of the house: "No, I have to tell the eldest sister to tell her to hide him quickly. It will be terrible if she is found out."
Just now she saw the group of people heading towards the village head’s house, so maybe the village head will take them to search the village later?
No, no, no, she has to tell Su Li immediately, let her find a way to deal with this matter.
He Dahai grabbed Chen Xiang's arm: "You are crazy, why don't you report to her? If the official finds out, we will be arrested at that time, and this is a good thing for us .”
He knew that his luck would not be too bad, and the one hundred taels of silver came to his door by himself.
Chen Xiang looked back at him in shock: "What did you say?"
He Dahai's eyes flickered and said: "Didn't the yamen servant say that there is a reward of one hundred taels for silver? If we tell them the news, then the one hundred taels will be ours."
"Don't you want money? With the one hundred taels of silver, our son will not have to worry about going to school in the future. He is so smart, and maybe he can give us a champion in the exam!"
Chen Xiang looked at He Dahai in disbelief, as if he had never known him before: "Take back what you said just now, and I'll pretend that I've never heard of it. It's not like you don't know how the big sister treats us, and such a I don’t want to take any money, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep at night.”
She was moved when she heard the one hundred taels, but these days Su Li took care of their family everywhere, if she sold Su Li for these money, then she felt that she would never sleep peacefully in her whole life.
Some silver should be taken, some silver should not be taken!
He Dahai snorted: "It's the benevolence of a woman. What good is it for us? Can it be used as silver flower? Can it make us eat hot and spicy food?"
