Chapter 796: storytelling

Coming from Yangshu Village, the heavy rain that killed the village chief's silly son was the last one the group experienced.

In the past three days, the fire was burning and the weather was dry. The farmland was dry and cracked. Spend money to do rain praying.

It's a pity that God didn't open his eyes, as if he was against them, there was not a drop of rain.

It was difficult to walk on the road, Li Haitang was pale and was always sweating, Xiangli and Mrs. Wang fell ill respectively, but they still insisted on going on the road with everyone.

"Miss, Yucheng is ahead, let's rest in Yucheng for a few days before we talk about it."

Xiao Lingchuan frowned, and made a decision on his own. For the first time, he didn't ask his wife's opinion.

If he forced his way, Li Haitang's body would not be able to bear it at all, he would suffer from heatstroke, dizziness, acclimatization, and the consequences would be extremely serious, even leading to shock.

Along the way, they met many people with heatstroke, twitching limbs, foaming at the mouth, if they didn't have a bowl of herbal tea for emergency treatment, they would definitely die.

He really didn't realize the hot weather before, since there are such serious consequences.

"But…"

Li Haitang felt uncomfortable when he thought of the trivial matters in the capital that needed to be resolved urgently. As an outsider, occupying the original owner's body, she instinctively wants to take responsibility.

Sometimes she would think, if the original owner was there, he would be more dedicated than an outsider, right?

It was this kind of thinking that made her put a lot of pressure on herself invisibly.

"Okay, let's go on the road after we take care of ourselves."

Seeing that Xiaodoubao was not as lively as before, Li Haitang made a decision immediately, and Xiangli and Mrs. Wang over there were relieved to hear that they didn't have to hurry.

In the past two days, both the master and the servant stood up, afraid of being pulled down and held back by others.

After entering the city, Xiao Lingchuan directly found the best inn in Yucheng, with a separate courtyard, and it cost dozens of taels of silver to stay one night.

The price is expensive, but there is a reason why it is expensive. The environment of the small courtyard is quiet, with flowers and plants in the yard, swings, and a grape trellis built to escape the summer heat.

Xiangli was not married, so she couldn't live with Li Haitang and his wife, so she asked for a superior room in the inn.

The inn assigns a cleaning woman to each courtyard, but the group is not used to having outsiders, so they send the woman home to rest.

There is a kitchen in the yard, and the vegetables are provided by the inn. If you want to eat meat, you can only go to the market to buy it.

The weather is too hot at the moment, the pork can only be kept for a while, and all kinds of flies on the chopping board make people look unappetizing.

"I'm going to buy a chicken and make a chicken for nothing."

In summer, it’s best to eat something cool and light. Boiled chicken is used as a cold dish, which is not greasy, and cucumber is mixed with tofu, and some hot and sour vegetables are eaten.

"Ma'am, there is an ice basin in the teahouse opposite, why don't we sit for a while?"

Since it will take a few days to recuperate and there are a lot of things to buy, Wu Fu is very strong and is responsible for shopping. She and Bai Guo went to the street together, and only Mammy Yu was left with the bean bag.

Nanny Yu was the oldest and couldn't stand the heat, so she couldn't stop wiping her sweat right now, wishing that the sun would turn west and the heat would disappear soon.

"Okay, bring a piece of clothing for Doubao."

The tea house is a good place to escape the heat, but it is so cold and hot, the temperature difference is too big, and it is easier to catch wind and cold.

After getting ready, the two of them went out from the backyard of the inn, across the street, facing the teahouse.

As soon as he entered the door, the cold air hit his face, and Li Haitang squinted his eyes in comfort. The rich families all have ice cellars that can store ice cubes. Nothing works.

In the teahouse, there is a fresh fragrance of tea. The lobby on the first floor is driving a high platform, and there is a storyteller on the platform, who is spitting and talking like a walk.

"By the way, a strange thing happened in Yangshu Village, hundreds of miles away from here."

As soon as the storyteller spoke, the servants slapped their hands and asked with a smile, "What is it this time? Whose chicken lays five or six eggs a day, or whose mother-in-law lays three eggs in a row?"

"Hahaha!"

The crowd roared with laughter, saying that it was a miracle, but it was not that strange. When the storyteller mentioned it, they also yelled and sighed afterwards, it was nothing.

"It's really not this time, the cousins ​​are cheating, the stupid son was killed, does it count?"

The storyteller shook his head with a secretive expression on his face.

As for the incompetence mentioned earlier, everyone was already a little interested, and then the murder case was mentioned, and now the noise stopped.

Li Haitang sat in the private room on the second floor, ordered a pot of tea, and heard that the scholar gave lectures.

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and it takes only three days to think about it. The scandal spread from Yangshu Village to Yucheng, and it seems that there is a tendency to gradually expand.

The old lady who killed the stupid son and his accomplice and his wife were taken into custody, and the one who destroyed the corpse was the old lady who was almost raped before. No one in this village thought that.

It was raining heavily, and the old lady was worried about the house and wanted to come back to have a look, but she saw the dead body.

Everyone died, and she was angry, so she smashed the fool's private parts with stones. She would not be safe at the end of the day, and she became the object of ridicule by the villagers. She couldn't feel at ease.

As for the village chief and the Liu family, they were originally suffering lords and were about to take their son home for burial. Some members of the Liu family came to the yamen to testify, exposing the fact that they were cousins.

Now, the holy father magistrate couldn't continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he had to **** the two of them to the prison. His original intention was to hand them over to the parent officer in the place where the Liu family was located. The wicked shouldn't do it.

The father and mother were sent to prison, the eldest brother died tragically, and only the little fat man was sent to prison.

The wall fell down and everyone pushed, and the villagers told the children in the family not to play with the little fat man. When the little fat man got excited, he took a hatchet to reason.

He was young, so he wanted to scare him. Those kids usually called him boss and followed him, but now they ignored them all, which made him feel a big gap.

His original intention was not to hurt anyone, but to have someone play with him and find a way to cook for him.

In short, the final result was unexpected, he missed and hacked a child to death, the other's parents were distraught, they arrested him, chopped off his hands and feet, and the little fat man bled to death.

The couple fled overnight and were discovered by the villagers. They went to the Yamen to report to the officials, and the officials arrested them.

The village chief and his wife in the prison heard that their youngest son also died miserably, and they were devastated. The village chief didn't know why, and Mrs. Liu went crazy.

The scholar slightly exaggerated the facts, made the case even more twists and turns, and made up some of it. In short, Li Haitang, a witness, couldn't help applauding him.

"Just because the village chief wanted the little girl of the Hua family to be his child bride-in-law, he didn't have any good intentions!"

In the audience, there was a lot of discussion, and everyone expressed their opinions and said everything. For them, this really refreshed the three views. In short, finding the murderer and not getting away with it is the best result.
