Chapter 178
"My God, since we can get 100 taels of silver, then we can eat delicious and spicy food every day!"

"That's right, let me think about whether there are any strangers in the village recently?"

"By the way, didn't the second cousin of Tiedan's daughter-in-law's family come here once? But he doesn't look like a fugitive!"

The leader asked: "What does that person do? How is he dressed? Is he a nearby villager?"

The villagers said excitedly: "He is a digger. He wears the same clothes as us. I don't know how many patches have been patched on the clothes. He is from a village near us. His cousin married into our village. The last time Come here to visit relatives!"

"Yes, yes, but he is not from our village. Such a person should be considered a stranger, right?"

The face of the leader is completely black, what they want is a stranger, why is a local villager telling them this?

If it wasn't for the wrong timing, he would want to dig their heads open to see what's inside!
He took a deep breath and said, "Don't tell the people nearby, what we want are strangers, and they are still injured. Is there anyone in your village asking for a doctor?"

Without even thinking about it, the villagers said, "Master Guan, you don't know that we are so poor that we can't even afford to eat, so there are still people to hire a doctor!"

"Isn't it? I usually have a headache and brain fever and treat it by myself. I still need a doctor."

The leader did not give up and said: "If you think about it carefully, this kind of thing doesn't happen every day. It's like a pie in the sky. Now you don't have to do anything to get 100 taels. You are digging the ground for a lifetime." I can't earn that much!"

Although the villagers wanted the 100 taels very much, there were indeed no strangers in the village. They shook their heads one after another: "There are really no strangers in the village recently."

Fortunately, Cheng Yu came late last night and did not meet anyone along the way, otherwise these people would have killed them right now.

Old man Zhao just came to the entrance of the village with a bullock cart. When he saw the officers and soldiers, he was also a little curious, and he asked the people beside him.

"What happened? Why are there so many officers and soldiers here?"

The kind man answered old man Zhao: "Isn't there a fugitive? These officers and soldiers are here to catch fugitives..."

Before the man finished speaking, people not far away saw old man Zhao coming, and shouted: "Why did you come, we are in a hurry to go to town, hurry up and catch the car."

Old man Zhao said quickly: "Here we come~"

What does catching fugitives have to do with him, he is still busy making money!
Old man Zhao had no idea that he was passing by a huge sum of money.

That group of people didn't take old man Zhao seriously either. After all, what would a bad old man know?
If he knew something extraordinary, wouldn't he just tell them that?
The group of people saw that these villagers didn't know what to ask, and they were still watching the fun, and they didn't want to spend any more time with them, so they directly arrested a person and asked him to take them to the village chief's house.

After the group of people left, the villagers began to discuss among themselves, and most of the topics revolved around "100 taels of silver".

When Chen Xiang came out of the field, the villagers were still talking about it. She only listened to it as a joke and didn't take it seriously.

When she went home and passed by Su Li's house, she took a look in and found it strange that there was no sound inside. She walked in and took a look again, and saw He Yufeng, He Qingyao and He Qingmu sitting in the yard, her heart ached. I thought it might be because Su Li hadn't gotten up yet, so the father and son didn't dare to say anything.

So he picked up the bucket and went home.

Seeing her coming back, He Dahai couldn't help complaining, "Why did you come back? Are you addicted to work?"

Chen Xiang explained: "Didn't I watch a scene at the entrance of the village, so I came back later."

"What's the excitement?" He Dahai asked casually.

Chen Xiang said: "Didn't the officers and soldiers come to arrest someone, saying that the person was a fugitive and was injured, if anyone can provide clues, there will be 100 taels of silver!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Xiang shook her head, 100 taels of silver is not so easy to get, and the murderer is not that stupid, he will definitely hide it well, and let them see it.

Unexpectedly, He Dahai's expression was very complicated after hearing her words.

Chen Xiang saw that her man's face was not right, so she couldn't help asking: "Father, what's the matter with you? Did you see that man?"

"What nonsense!" He Dahai covered her mouth in fright, and then quickly closed the door of the house.

Chen Xiang wondered, "What's the matter?"

After doing this, she also began to feel uneasy.

He Dahai said in a low voice: "Yesterday I saw He Yufeng and Su Li carrying a bloody man back from the mountain, Su Li picked it up on the mountain, and I saw the letter she asked Fantuan to send to He Yufeng. "

At the time, he felt that this matter was not simple, but now it seems that it is really not simple.

Chen Xiang was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth: "This is a serious crime. I heard from the group of yamen servants that the man is a fugitive, and he will be beheaded for harboring a fugitive."

He Dahai nodded and said, "Isn't that right, I didn't expect them to be so courageous, even daring to hide murderers."

Chen Xiang came back to her senses, and was about to walk out of the house: "No, I have to tell the eldest sister to tell her to hide him quickly, it will be terrible if she is found out."

Just now she saw that group of people heading towards the village chief's house. Could it be that the village chief will take them to search the village later?
No, no, she has to tell Su Li immediately, let her find a way to deal with this matter.

He Dahai grabbed Chen Xiang's arm: "You are crazy, why don't you report to her? If the official finds out, we will be arrested at that time, and this is a good thing for us .”

He knew that his luck would not be too bad, and the 100 taels of silver came to his door by himself.

Chen Xiang looked back at him in shock: "What did you say?"

He Dahai's eyes flickered and said: "Didn't the yamen servant say that there is a reward of 100 taels for us to take? If we tell them the news, then the 100 taels will be ours."

"Don't you want money? With the 100 taels of silver, our son will not have to worry about going to school in the future. He is so smart, maybe he can give us a champion in the exam!"

Chen Xiang looked at He Dahai in disbelief, as if he had never known him before: "Take back what you said just now, and I'll pretend that I've never heard of it. It's not like you don't know how big sister treats us, and such a I don’t want to take any money, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep at night.”

She was heartbroken when she heard the 100 taels, but these days Su Li took care of their family everywhere, if she sold Su Li for these money, then she felt that she would never sleep peacefully in her whole life.

Some silver should be taken, and some silver should not be taken!

He Dahai snorted: "It's the benevolence of a woman. What good is it for us? Can it be used as silver flower? Can it make us eat hot and spicy food?"
