After all, this old lady of the Li family married a scholar and lived a lot of enviable good days in her early years, and she had to have more knowledge.

After she collected Zhuang Rou's money, her attitude naturally improved a lot. She thought that if she cried for a while, she might be able to get some money to live.

After all, they are the family of scholars, and they are all scholars, so they should take care of each other, so Old Mrs. Li planned to start talking about serious business.

I had obviously hated the government for a long time and wanted to use a stick to drive people out. Now I grabbed the corners of my white clothes and wiped the corners of my eyes that were not tears at all. I sighed, "Is the official here to ask about my Lao Jiu's case? I think my Jiuer is strong and has carried a bag at the dock to support most of the family."

"It's gone now, and we orphans and widows are left. How can we live this life in the future!"

Zhuang Rou glanced at the side. There were at least five men who could work in this family, not counting the third brother who went out to exchange copper coins, and the half-aged man.

However, six people raised about 30 people, and even the woman helped weave cloth and sew clothes, she was afraid that she would just have to eat enough food and clothing and would not starve to death.

Besides, where did they come from so many clothes to wash...

Her eyes stopped at a few children who were eating fingers, "Who is the Wu family's child among them? So many people live in the same yard, how could no one know about a turbulent person? Call me over and ask me."

Speaking of this, Old Mrs. Li was immediately excited, "You don't know that Wu is a hen that doesn't lay eggs. If she didn't see her raising her, she wouldn't have married her back. She didn't even have a dowry. When she came, she was just wearing clothes. My family gave her half a bag of rice and two kilograms of meat."

"I didn't expect that after marrying for half a year, I didn't see you. What's the use of marrying you? You're just like having a little extra mouth to eat!"

Zhuang Rou grinned and said, "You have so many families, are you still alive?"

"Of course, one more person means more work. As long as one of these grandchildren is a child prodigy, the whole family can make money to support him in school. When the time comes, the scholar will be admitted to the top scorer, and our Li family will have a day to make a name for themselves." Old Mrs. Li slapped her thigh and said, "What is important, of course, is a promising grandson!"

At this time, Zhuang Rou already knew that there was nothing to say about this old lady, and even if her grandson had a promising future, she would be dragged to death by this family.

She calmly took out the booklet and took out the charcoal strips wrapped in the oil cloth. The constable was outside to handle the case and could not carry a pen, ink, paper and inkstone all day, so she usually used charcoal strips instead.

Putting the book on your legs and cushioned, Zhuang Rou asked, "Tell me about your ninth son's name, when did you find it missing?"

"My ninth son is Li Jiu. He is in his early thirties. Half a month ago, he suddenly stopped carrying his bags at the dock. I was so angry that I was so angry that I hit him hard that I beat him a few sticks, and I refused to listen no matter how much I scolded him."

"The next day, I disappeared. But the third wife saw Wu entering the kitchen in the middle of the night, and after setting fire, she ran out sneakily." Old Mrs. Li glanced at the woman with a slightly mean face next to her and said angrily.

She said with certainty: "Official, when I saw that I had two eggs missing that morning, she must have stolen it out in the middle of the night and gave it to her adulterer. After my son discovered it, she was beaten to death and threw it into the river!"

When Zhuang Rou heard that this was not a clue or evidence, she said that there was no evidence. The evidence was that the third wife saw Wu entering the kitchen late at night. She wrinkled and asked, "Then your family said there was physical evidence but she refused to take it out. What is it? Is it a weapon?"

"It's one tael of silver." Old Mrs. Li subconsciously said in a low voice.

"What?" Zhuang Rou looked at her for no reason. What kind of physical evidence is one or two silver coins.

Seeing that her face was puzzled, Old Lady Li slapped her thigh and said, "Official, Wu is so poor. She can still hide a tael of silver in the house. That must be given to her by the adulterer!"

Zhuang Rou finally knew that although she was a scholar's wife, she was completely unreasonable. She only cared about having children and was doing everything she had done. She was so stupid about her daughter-in-law that she just talked nonsense, and she didn't look like she was a little bit of studying.

She said coldly: "Wu did cook two eggs at night, but she cooked them for Li Jiu to take them out for food. Li Jiu quit his work at the dock because he found a better job, and that one or two taels of silver was the wages that the other party paid first."

"Wu said that the reason why Li Jiu didn't tell you was that he wanted to leave the one tael of silver for Wu to buy some food to replenish his body and prevent you from scolding her as a hen who doesn't lay eggs all day long."

"I finally pulled him up and actually hid money for my wife! I really forgot my mother after marrying my wife, and I was so angry!" Old Mrs. Li cursed. She never expected that her son would hide money for his wife.

Zhuang Rou was originally coming to talk to see if what Wu said was the truth. Now she seems to have only one tael of silver.

The work that can pay money in advance will fall on such poor families, which makes people feel unreal. It really makes people unable to think of it. Apart from doing shameful things, there will be no such work that people can do.

Zhuang Rou asked some other questions and called all the wives who were slandering. After asking them all, there was no clue.

The only thing she knew was that Li Jiu brought two boiled eggs and only greeted his wife Wu, and no one knew it. Since then, he lost the news for more than half a month, which is very different from his behavior.

Everyone in the Li family knew that Li Jiu was particularly interested in the married wife, and he never stayed out overnight and never returned. Moreover, according to Wu, he only said that he could come back in three or five days, but he didn't say that he would not come for half a month.

As for where Li Jiu went and what kind of work he was doing, Wu didn't know. She also asked, but Li Jiu said that the employer would not let him say that it was a serious matter, not a murder, arson and arson as a bandit, and let her rest a hundred hearts and take care of her body and wait for him to come back.

Neither the Li family nor the Wu family could find out anything, so that was just an ordinary disappearance case. However, the Li family suspected that it was the one who was killed by the Wu family. It was too unusual to use family methods to kill her alive. You have to find your son first, right?

Zhuang Rou stared at the old lady Li and asked, "From your confession, you can tell that Li Jiu is just going out to work. Maybe it's because the road is long, or he wants to make more money and bring it back to have a good New Year."

"There is no corpse, nothing, why do you suspect that Wu killed your son?"

Old Mrs. Li said dissatisfiedly: "I came up with the blind half immortal, but it's accurate. Even my son's nickname is known. He said he was killed by my son's wife and threw the body away from the river and could no longer come back."

"The blind man was very wise, he was just a living half-immortal. How could I not believe him?"

This is simply ridiculous. Can a fortune teller solve the case?

Zhuang Rou said angrily: "No, if the fortune teller is so powerful, what's the use of us!"

She stood up in anger. When she looked up, she suddenly saw a person huddled down from the wall of the Li family. Someone was lying on the wall just now to look at them.
