"How can there be none?" Left Advisor scratched his face and turned to look at the Yun family.
Had they made a mistake?
So many bricks, they couldn't be covered even with straw mats...
And they had searched inside and outside Da Shui Village, not even a shadow of a brick was seen.
Yun Wangcai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiling, "Esteemed official, my family is a law-abiding household, we never do anything like stealing chickens or dogs!"
Hmph, if he didn't have a bit of skill, would he dare to steal?
If he got caught every time he stole, his groin would have been kicked to pieces long ago...
"Left Advisor, it was them who stole it. Look at the ground, there are still brick fragments, no mistake!" Yun Daman shouted.
Yun Erman also clenched his fist angrily, "Yun Wangcai, where did you hide the bricks? If you don't take them out, I'll burn your shabby house down with a single torch..."
"Tsk tsk, why are you threatening people?" Yun Wangcai shrunk his neck and looked at Left Advisor, "Officer, look, they are bullying me, won't you do something about it?"
Left Advisor's expression was uncertain. He knew the Yun family wouldn't wrongly accuse good people.
Moreover, with Little Sweet Treasure protecting their family, the entire Da Shui Village was in their favor...
Xiao Jinheng frowned, "Left Advisor, continue the investigation!"
If this matter was not thoroughly investigated today, it would inevitably affect the Yun family's reputation.
Wrongfully accusing villagers without reason would invite criticism.
Left Advisor nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I will search properly. You two go and search again, quickly, quickly..."
The little prince had spoken, how could he dare not obey?
The two constables responded and walked into the courtyard again.
"Wait a moment!" Little Xi Tian walked forward with her short legs, "Let me take a look!"
These constables were perfunctory in their investigations, eager to return to the county office for tea...
One constable, not recognizing Little Xi Tian, mistook her for a village child and stepped forward to stop her, "Hey, hey, hey, the county office is investigating a case, why are you, a child, getting involved? Go, go out!"
They disliked investigating cases in villages the most, not for any other reason, but because the villagers and those little brats had poor conduct...
This time, before Left Advisor could get anxious, Xiao Jinheng immediately became displeased.
He pointed at the constable and reprimanded him angrily, "How dare you block a little village child, get lost!"
As he spoke, Kong Xingzhuo, along with Dark Guard A and Dark Guard B, rushed forward and shoved the constable twice.
The constable, completely bewildered and unsure of what had happened: "..."
No, were the villagers so bold now?
Even daring to confront officials.
He was new to the yamen and didn't recognize Daman or Erman, nor had he heard of the Glorious Home.
Little did he know that the person standing in front of him was Little Lucky General Yun Xi Tian, and the other was the little prince Xiao Jinheng...
"Left Advisor, they are rebelling! My chest is hurting terribly from being shoved, is there no law anymore?" the constable said indignantly.
Left Advisor stomped his foot and slapped the top of his head, "Shut up and go squat by the wall!"
No sense at all, he would be fired upon returning.
The constable walked to the wall dejectedly and squatted like a farmer...
Little Xi Tian giggled and winked at Xiao Jinheng and Kong Xingzhuo.
Thank you!
She stepped over the threshold and walked into the courtyard with Xue Ling.
Yun Wangcai panicked. He knew the capabilities of this little girl; she was incredibly uncanny. If she discovered it, he would be finished...
"Sweet, sweet treasure, Uncle will take you out to play, okay?" Yun Wangcai's face was full of smiles.
Xiao Jinheng raised his eyebrows at this, "Hmm?"
Yun Wangcai: "..."
This child's gaze was terrifying.
Like a falcon, it emitted a killing intent.
Old Man Yun also walked in with Daman and Erman. Madam Gu held Liu Cuirong outside the door, preventing her from causing trouble.
Just after Left Advisor arrived, Liu Cuirong thought she had found support and was about to beat Lu Jinping...
Now that the entire Yun family, old and young, were present, and the villagers and Left Advisor were also on their side.
If Liu Cuirong caught Lu Jinping, wouldn't she knock out her front teeth?
"Behave yourself and throw away that stick!" Madam Gu pinched her.
Liu Cuirong glared at Lu Jinping, "Where's your capability? Why aren't you making a fuss anymore? Come on, hit me here..."
She stretched out her head and stuck out her tongue, "Do you dare to hit me?"
Touch me once and I'll extort you to death, extort you until you're bankrupt and thrown in jail.
Lu Jinping, from somewhere, found a pair of scissors and held them tightly.
If Liu Cuirong dared to quarrel with her, Lu Jinping would stab her to death...
"Jinping, go back inside!" Yun Wangcai frowned.
"Why should I go inside? The constables are all watching, it was she who wanted to hit someone!" Lu Jinping said stubbornly.
Left Advisor looked at Lu Jinping, then at Liu Cuirong, and cursed inwardly: Two idiots...
Every day there were shrewish women scolding in the village, and old women fighting and scratching.
The county office no longer accepted such cases.
They couldn't manage them all.
In the courtyard, Xiao Jinheng asked Little Xi Tian, "Any leads?"
The family was so poor, it was practically empty...
The entire courtyard was filled with weeds and rotten wood. The backyard was a latrine, with swarms of flies buzzing overhead.
Little Xi Tian pinched her nose and patted Xue Ling's dog head, "Xue Ling, go find it!"
"Woof woof..."
Xue Ling barked, then wagged its big tail and began searching in the courtyard.
Yun Wangcai's heart was in his throat. His gaze fell upon a straw mat in the backyard, and he ran over, standing on it.
Xiao Jinheng narrowed his eyes, feeling suspicious.
"Why are you standing there?"
Yun Wangcai lit his pipe and puffed, "Little one, what business is it of yours where I stand?"
Mind your own business...
However, Xiao Jinheng felt he was trying to hide something.
Just then, Xue Ling, while sniffing around, ran to Yun Wangcai's side, "Woof woof woof!"
Get out of the way, the item is right under your feet.
"Woof woof woof!"
"Tsk, what are you barking about, you beast? Go, go, go!" Yun Wangcai tried to kick it away.
Little Xi Tian saw this, put her hands on her hips, and said in a childish voice, "Found it, it's right here!"
Left Advisor heard this and immediately walked over, instructing the constable beside him, "Go, lift the straw mat..."
This fellow could really hide things, actually burying the bricks underground.
The constable walked over, pushed Yun Wangcai aside, bent down, and pulled away the straw mat.
A square vegetable cellar opening was revealed, covered with a wooden frame.
"Open it!"
"Yes!"
The truth was before them. If this matter was handled smoothly and justice was served for the Yun family, Left Advisor would also be looked upon favorably by Prefect Chen...
"No, no, don't open it, it's all cabbage and pickled mustard stems in there, it can't possibly hide so many bricks!"
Yun Wangcai tried his best to stop them.
It's over, it's all over. His son had run away, and his daughter-in-law was useless. At his age, would he have to go to jail?
If he was released from prison, how would he face Da Shui Village!
So, under everyone's gaze, the constable lifted the wooden frame, revealing a dark vegetable cellar opening...
