This jade pendant should not appear in the hands of the man who picked up dung in the small mountain village.

Chai Yan sneered: "I'm so brave. I dare to sell the stolen things. People come and arrest him to meet the officials."

Before the man could react, his arms were cut behind him by Zhou Sauchen and could not move.

"Let go, let go, you woman, let me go!" Although the man struggled and shouted, his voice was not loud. Obviously, he didn't want to be heard by the villagers.

Zhou Saochen punched him in the stomach and scolded: "If you want to survive, shut up!"

The man was in pain and did not dare to shout. Pearl and Liuli were patrolling around, shook their heads at Chai Yan, and confirmed that there was no one around.

Chai Yan raised his jade pendant and took a photo in the sun, saying to the man: "Are you illiterate?"

The man was ignorant: "I don't know."

"No wonder, this jade pendant is engraved with a mark made by the imperial court. If you read, you will definitely not dare to sell it. This is something from the palace. Do you still say it was not stolen?" Chai Yan despised.

The man was so scared that his face looked like a mortal. If it weren't for Zhou Sauchen's control, his legs became weak and he was lifted up by Zhou Sauchen, he wouldn't have fallen down.

"It's unfair, unfair. The villain really doesn't know that this is something in the palace. The villain has grown up so big, and has been to the county town three times. I don't even know what the palace looks like." The man cried.

"It was not stolen from the palace, so where did it stolen?" Chai Yan's expressionless face.

"Yes, yes, it's Wang, Wang's husband's house." The man gritted his teeth and told the truth. It's better to steal the Wang's husband than to steal the palace.

Chai Yan and Yan Xuehuai exchanged their eyes, and both of them saw surprises in each other's eyes.

I really didn't expect that there would be unexpected joy.

According to the man's instructions, his name is Cui Liangzi, and his family is very poor because his grandfather was a son-in-law who was hired as a family man. Therefore, their family has always been looked down upon in the village, and their lives are getting poorer and poorer, and no one can help their relatives.

Cui Liangzi was 20 years old and had not married a wife, so she asked the matchmaker to tell her several families, but she thought his family was too poor.

Once, Cui Liangzi was wandering around the forest outside the wall of Wang’s husband’s back and unexpectedly saw someone coming out of a weed bush over one person. He had never seen this person in the village. He was wearing silk clothes and was obviously a rich man from the city.

Cui Liangzi hid behind the tree, and he didn't dare to come out until the man left.

Two days later, Cui Liangzi came to the forest again. He found the place where the man crawled out and found a hole there. The hole was covered with weeds. He moved the weeds and brushed off a layer of soil that was returned to the surface, and four blue bricks were exposed. When the blue bricks were moved away, it was the entrance of the hole.

Cui Liangzi put the blue bricks and weeds back as they were and hid the matter in his heart.

After a month, he could no longer help, so he took advantage of the darkness and high wind to go to the forest again. This time he was more careful. The moonlight shone into the forest through the sparse branches and leaves. Cui Liangzi saw three figures and ran towards the other end of the forest.

The place where the three figures appeared was the location of the cave entrance.

Hearing this, Chai Yan asked, "Are they three? But after seeing their appearance clearly, do you know each other?"

Cui Liangzi shook his head: "No, I only see their backs, but I can guarantee that these three are all children. If they are not children, they are shorts."

Chai Yan and Yan Xuehuai also remembered the news that Li Yunzhu found, the godson of Eunuch Wang.

Except for the two sold by Wang Dabao, the remaining three.

After the death of Eunuch Wang, these three children seemed to have evaporated from the world without a trace.

Chai Yan said, "You keep talking."

Seeing Cui Liangzi hesitating, Zhou Saochen pinched Cui Liangzi's shoulder with one hand. Cui Liangzi was so painful that she burst into tears: "Auntie, ancestor, I said, I said everything."

That night, Cui Liangzi entered the hole.

There is a secret passage in the cave, at the end of the secret passage, in the bedroom of the eunuch Wang.

Cui Liangzi pushed away the cabinet blocking the exit. There was no one in the bedroom. He wanted to steal things, but found that the cage was opened, as if someone had just searched for it.

Cui Liangzi walked out of the bedroom with a bold courage. When he saw the scene outside, he almost screamed when he saw it.

In the spacious hall, six corpses were lying everywhere!

Cui Liangzi knew all these six people.

Wang Dabao, his three sons, Eunuch Wang, and one of them was Eunuch Wang's housekeeper, and they all called him Lao He. Lao He often walked around the village, and everyone in the village had seen him.

Among them, Eunuch Wang is the one with the best death sentence.

There was no wound or blood. Just as Cui Liangzi heard in the village later, he was so angry that he was so angry.

Wang Dabao and his son were bleeding from their seven orifices, and they were terrified in death.

And Lao He had a knife inserted into his chest!

Cui Liangzi was so scared that she fell to the ground and it took her a long time to get up.

Until this time, he saw that Wang Dabao and his three sons had silver ingots around him, but Cui Liangzi was so old that he had never seen silver ingots before, and he didn't know that those were silver ingots. In addition, Wang Dabao and his son's death were too scary, so Cui Liangzi didn't dare to get it. He was brave enough to pick up the less scary eunuch Wang.

This jade pendant was taken off the body of Eunuch Wang. Eunuch Wang still had a ring on his hand. Cui Liangzi went to rub it, but he didn't rub it down. He was so scared that he trembled and did not continue. He only took this jade pendant.

He was too scared at that time and wanted to return the same way. He was anxious for a moment, but he walked into the wrong house.

He entered the room next to Eunuch Wang. There was a light in the room. There was a person tiling down under the light. There was a knife behind the man and blood flowed all over the floor!

Cui Liangzi was so scared that he pissed on his body and shouted and retreated back to the hall, but sat on Lao He's lap again. When he got up, he saw that Lao He's mouth opened and closed, but he was not dead yet.

Maybe it was because he finally saw a living person, and Cui Liangzi's courage also became stronger. He leaned over to Lao He's mouth and heard Lao He say intermittently: "Bad, bad..."

Lao He was speechless, this time he was dead.

Cui Liangzi's head finally became clear. He touched Lao He's body, took out a few corners of silver, put it in his arms with the jade pendant, and followed the secret passage when he came, and fled back to the forest.

The next morning, Cui Liangzi heard that something happened at Eunuch Wang's house. It is said that Wang Dabao's wife saw that her husband and son had not come back to her uncle's house, so she went to find someone and found the body.

Cui Liangzi was worried that someone would find out that he had stole things, so she buried the broken silver and jade pendant in her yard.

He hid at home for a few days. Seeing that no one came to ask him, he asked his mother to inquire. His mother came back from outside and told him that the yamen had found out that Eunuch Wang died of a hurry, Wang Dabao and his three sons were poisoned to death, and Wang Dabao's wife also told the truth. Before that, Wang Dabao sold Eunuch Wang's godson.

Cui Liangzi thought his mother didn't find out clearly, so he went to inquire again. As a result, what he found out was exactly the same as what his mother heard.

Only eunuch Wang, Wang Dabao and his son, were dead, five people and five corpses.

Lao He and the person who was also stabbed to death by a knife were not among them.

Cui Liangzi was wondering, something big happened in the village.

The big mansion of eunuch Wang and his wife had gone away for no reason.

The house was empty and there was no one, so how could it catch fire?

The villagers all said that it was the eunuch Wang who came to take his life and no one dared to put out the fire. The whole village watched the big mansion burned to rubble.

Cui Liangzi was relieved, and the house was burned, so no one noticed the secret passage. He went to the forest again and completely blocked the hole with stones.

However, he also regretted not taking the big silver ingots. He only learned after listening to the chat of the villagers that night that he saw the corpses of Wang Dabao and his son. The legendary silver ingots were the legendary silver ingots!

Those silver ingots were taken away by the yamen, and it is said that each of them has ten taels!

The silver horn found on Lao He had been spent by Cui Liangzi, but he did not dare to sell this jade pendant.

At first, Cui Liangzi didn't know that this was a good thing. In his eyes, only gold and silver were valuable. Later, he really had no money, so he went to the pawnshop to ask for the price.

As a result, the pawnshop called Chaofeng, Chaofeng looked at the jade pendant, and then looked at him: "Where did you get this thing?"

Cui Liangzi was guilty and knew that Chaofeng was suspicious of him. He hurriedly said that he was not good enough, so he took the jade pendant and ran out of the pawnshop.

He didn't even dare to go back to Qiantai Village directly. He took a big turn, first to Houtai Village, and then from Houtai Village to Qiantai Village, for fear that someone would be targeted.

Twenty years have passed, Cui Liangzi feels that it should be fine, but he still dares not take the jade pendant to the county town.

The case was handled by the county government, and the county government was in the county town. Cui Liangzi was worried that he would be reminded of the case of Eunuch Wang.

Yesterday I heard that there were outsiders coming to the village, and these outsiders were obviously rich, so he came here with the courage. After all, whether in front-table or back-table villages, you rarely see outsiders, let alone rich outsiders. Cui Liangzi didn't want to miss this good opportunity.

Chai Yan said to Liuli: "Give him ten taels of silver."

Cui Liangzi was both surprised and happy, and took the ten taels of silver and ran away.

Liuli went to the forest that Cui Liangzi mentioned, and found the blocked hole. She thought that this secret passage was the escape route left by eunuch Wang for himself, but she did not expect that he would not use it in the end.

Liuli found Li Zheng and asked Wang Dabao's whereabouts of his wife. Li Zheng was shocked. Unexpectedly, these outsiders would actually ask about what happened back then.

"I'm dead, I've been hung in his main hall when I came back from the yamen. The man and son are dead. How can she live? Do you think so, how can she live?" Li Zheng said.

Liuli asked again: "It was your father back then. What name did Eunuch Wang use when he settled here and where was his hometown?"

Sweat beads oozing from his forehead, and he secretly guessed the origin of these people in his heart. Liuli sneered: "How did your father die? You should know in your heart that it is not that you can save your life if you don't say it, right?"

Back then, Lao Li was silent, but eventually died of a bad life.

Li Zheng asked boldly: "Who are you?"

Liuli said lightly: "My master is an official, he is older than your county magistrate. We have already investigated this matter almost. If you don't talk about it now, then follow us to the yamen to talk."

Li Zheng closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and asked, "If I said it now, wouldn't it be fine?"

"You are only in your thirties. How old were you twenty years ago? Besides, you were not Li Zheng at that time. As long as you tell the truth, this matter has nothing to do with you. But if you don't say it, then we have to check it out carefully. We can still afford to take care of the prison meal."

If you don’t say it now, then go to the prison to speak slowly.

Li Zheng hurriedly said, "I said, I said everything."

Back then, Eunuch Wang came to Qiantai Village with Lao He. The next day, Wang Dabao came to find Lao Lizheng and said that his uncle came to join him, wanted to live in the village, and wanted to buy land to build a house.

When Lao Li heard this, he knew that Wang Dabao was talking nonsense. Wang Dabao fled. When he was admitted, he said that his family had three generations of single-handed family and he had no relatives in his original home.

Three generations of single-passing, where did the uncle come from?
