Chapter 71

Xia Xi mouth hook up, bent over, whispered a few words in Qi'er's ear.

Kiel put the money in her hand, then turned and ran out.

Xia Xi reaches to the bottom of the box, touches the box where lingcao is placed, takes it out, opens it, sees lingcao intact inside, breathes a sigh of relief, covers the cover, puts it back again, and then puts the silver note away. Then she gets up, goes outside, locks the door, comes to the moon light door, picks up a green brick, goes back, and smashes the lock.

A few times, the lock will be broken, Xia Xi threw the brick on the ground, walked back to the moon door, leaning on the wall, hands around the chest, looking over there.

There was no sound in the yard. Even if she made such a big noise, no one came out.

Disordered footsteps from far and near, Xia Xi stood up straight body.

The village head hurried into the courtyard, followed by many villagers.

"Wife, Qi'er said that there are thieves at home?"

The head of the village asked eagerly. It has been more than ten years since he became the head of the village. No one in the village has lost anything. Just now Qi'er ran to say that he was shocked and hurried to lead the villagers.

Xia Xi pointed to the broken lock, "see for yourself."

Looking in the direction she pointed to, the village head gasped when he saw the lock on the ground.

The thief is too bold to steal in broad daylight.

He stepped forward and looked at it. Not only the lock was broken, but also there were traces on the door. It seems that the thief has made great efforts.

"What's missing?"

The village head asked as he looked carefully.

"Two thousand taels of silver."

The head of the village faltered under his feet and almost fell down. In a hurry, he helped the door with his hand. However, he pushed the door open and fell into the door.

"Village head!"

The villagers who followed exclaimed in surprise and reached for him in a hurry. When the head of the village had fallen in half, he could be held.

The head of the village was buzzing in his head. Before he stood up straight, he trembled and asked again, "how much?"

"Two thousand Liang."

Xia Xi answers again, the voice is clear, clear spread to the public's ears.

The head of the village supported the wall, and his body was a little weak. A cow was only twenty taels of silver, two thousand taels. How much was that? He was so old, and he had never seen so much silver.

All the people who came along also took a chill. Two thousand Liang is two hundred Liang. There are not so many families in Weijia village.

The yard was dead.

Kiel pursed her lips and lowered her head.

For a long time, the village head's voice sounded, "newspaper, newspaper official..."

He thought that he could handle it, but he shook his head. The village head knew that once he reported to the government, he would be the head of the village.

"I think so too, but Yu Yi is a Juren after all. If he comes forward to sue for this, I wonder if the government can do things faster?"

Xia Xi way, finish saying toward that side yard cast one eye.

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right. Let Yu Juren go to the county government in person."

Village head Ying he and Yu Yi's current status is that the county magistrate will yield three points when he sees them. It's very appropriate for him to sue.

Words fall, did not see the figure of Yu Yi, is very puzzled, "Yu Ju people?"

Xia Xi shakes her head, "I don't know."

Knowing that she was at odds with Yu Yi, the village head went to the yard, stood still, and cried, "Yu Juren, Yu Juren."

Even shout twice, no one answered, inside and outside are quiet.

The village head frowned, turned back, and told the following people, "go and find out, where has Yu Ju Ren gone?"

Someone ran out and soon came back. "Yu Ju Ren's family hired an ox cart and said they were going to visit relatives."

Seeing that the pillar was also there, the village head said, "pillar, you drive the carriage to pick them up and come back quickly."

The pillar answers the voice, turns around and goes out. Just after running out, he sees an ox cart coming slowly. Yu Yi and others are on the cart.

"Yu Juren!"

He raised his hand and ran quickly.

Niu's, ling'er's and zhi'er's chattering on the bus.

When they heard the cry, they all stopped and looked at him.

Zhu ran to the ox cart, and Yu Yi said coldly, "what's the matter?"

"Go home quickly. You have been robbed and lost two thousand taels of banknotes."

"What?"

Yu Yi's body faltered, almost fell down and blurted out, "how could it be two thousand liang?"

Words export, immediately aware of something wrong, busy and way, "how can lose so much?"

The ox cart didn't stop. The pillar walked along and scratched its head. "That's what the woman said."

Yu Yi's eyes dodged. Let the ox cart stop, jump down from the top, three steps and two steps to go home, into the yard, is already panting, very anxious, "Xi'er, home into the thief?"

The village head answered, "Oh, Yu Juren, you've come back. Your wife said she lost two thousand taels of silver."

Yu Yi's face was dark. "Zhu told me, who is so big but dare to steal money from my home? That's disgusting

"Yes, that's disgusting!"

Xia Xi said, went to Yu Yi, stood still, looked at him, mouth slightly raised, "it seems that the thief is an acquaintance, if not, how can happen to catch up with the Xianggong family to string relatives, to steal money?"

Yu Yi was stiff.

"What?"

The head of the village raised his voice. He was frightened by the number of two thousand Liang. He didn't think of this level.

Xia Xi turned around and said, "don't you think the village head? I go to the county every day, not to mention the silver note. I haven't lost a single branch of my family. But today when my family is away, the silver note is lost. If I'm not an acquaintance, how can I grasp the opportunity so well? "

"You're right!"

The head of the village realized this and was furious. "If I can find out who stole it, I have to drive him out!"

Yu Yi's eyes flashed and raised his hand. "The village head should be calm for a while. It's all Xi'er's guess. I can't count it. The most urgent thing is to discuss what to do first?"

"What can we do? Report to the official

What the village head said was firm.

Yu Yi quickly stopped, "no!"

The crowd looked at him.

Realizing that he was worried, Yu continued, "now it's stipulated in the law that if there are more than twenty thieves in the village, the village head will be removed for whatever reason. If it's really done by acquaintances, as Xi'er said, it must be done by the villagers. If you report to the government, it will lead to the dismissal of the village head. I'm afraid that's not what the villagers want to see. "

When his words fell down, people were like frying pan, and immediately began to talk.

The village head has been diligent and considerate for the villagers for so many years. If he is dismissed, the next village head still doesn't know what to do.

"Yu Juren, you can't let the village head be dismissed. Do you have any good idea?"

Someone asked aloud.
