Chapter 90

Chapter 90 Lai Hunzi and his daughter-in-law appear

An Xiaoxiao and Dawu followed the crowd and waited outside the ancestral hall. When the gong sounded in the hall, the first villager in line went in to vote first, and the next one went in after he came out.Uncle An and Village Chief An stood on both sides of the entrance of the ancestral hall as candidates, quietly waiting for the voting to end.

There were not many people in Anjia Village, so it was An Xiaoxiao's turn to go in after a short queue. When she reached the door, she subconsciously raised her head and looked at Second Uncle An. The elder nodded and gave her a look that told her not to worry.

Another gong sounded to announce the official end of the voting period, and everyone who was waiting outside filed in and re-entered the ancestral hall.At this time, there were already two yamen servants standing in front of the two boxes, and Village Chief An and Uncle An felt that they had walked to the back of the box representing themselves.

"Start counting votes now." After the commotion of the crowd calmed down, the county magistrate issued an order, and two yamen servants picked up the cardboard box, turned the hole upside down, took out the red note inside the box, put it on the table, and sang the votes one by one.

Da Wu was afraid that someone would deceive him, so he stared at the ballot box for a moment, but An Xiaoxiao patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to relax.

The red notes were taken out one by one, and the discussion in the crowd gradually became louder, and reached its peak with the final number of votes for Uncle An.

Second Uncle An's five ballot papers have all been sung, but Village Chief An is still taking notes out of his box.

The results of the vote are obvious.

An Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and raised the corners of her lips, not surprised by this scene.She counted with her fingers and sighed.

Counting Wang Er, Da Wu plus her, and Second Aunt An, there should only be four cards in total, and there is one more card, which is gratifying.

The counting of the votes is over, needless to say who will be the next village chief, Village Chief An couldn't bear the joy on his face, he patted Second Uncle An on the shoulder pretendingly, and after saying a word of concession, he bent down happily and asked the county chief to announce result.

An Xiaoxiao was not in a hurry. After looking at Second Uncle An for a while, she coughed and stood up again: "Wait a minute, Minnv has objections to the voting results."

Village head An's face darkened, and he glanced over with stern eyes. An Xiaoxiao smiled calmly, and Shi Shiran stood in front of the hall.

The county magistrate, who had already left the bench, sat back silently after hearing this.He looked at An Xiao with a slight twist on his face, he cleared his throat and said, "Miss An, what do you think?"

If there is anything else, just say it quickly.

"Master County Chief, as far as Minnv knows, in the election of village chief, all members of the same clan and their family members who are still alive in the village must be present before voting can officially begin. Minnv just discovered that there are still two members who have not yet arrived."

The county magistrate turned his gaze to the chief secretary standing next to him, who stepped forward and said, "There is such a rule in the written text, but in recent years, the population of the villages has been moving a lot, so this rule is rarely mentioned. "

It means that this rule is just for viewing, it is not necessary.

Although the rules are optional, since An Xiaoxiao has raised it in public, he can't ignore it with all the magistrates.Sighing with a headache, he asked Village Chief An, "Is there anyone in the village who hasn't arrived yet?"

"There is also An Qing and the Wang family who have been in the family for more than two years." Before Village Chief An could answer, An Xiaoxiao took the lead in answering loudly. As soon as the words came out, everyone present was in an uproar, and Village Chief An's complexion turned pale. Stand still and say nothing.

An Qing is Lai Hunzi's real name.

"Is there such a person in the village?" The county magistrate asked Village Chief An again. Village Chief An forced a smile, bowed and said, "There is indeed such a person. It's just that this person has been a devil since he was a child. Butt money, in order to avoid debts, often disappear for a few days, no one can find it, if you want to find him now, I'm afraid."

Before Village Chief An finished speaking, someone suddenly walked in from the door and said loudly: "Xiaomin is here!"

Everyone followed their gazes and looked outside the door, and saw Lai Hunzi walking in with his little wife in his arms and smiling. They stood in front of the hall, and Lai Hunzi immediately knelt down on the ground and saluted exaggeratedly, "See you county Your Excellency."

Da Wu glanced at An Xiaoxiao, who was as immobile as a mountain, and raised his eyebrows in understanding.He looked to the side, and saw that Village Chief An's face was pale, his eyes widened in disbelief, and Cuicui was standing in the corner, trembling uncontrollably as if he had seen a ghost.

The county magistrate didn't respond, but hummed impatiently, called someone to give each of them a piece of red paper, and urged, "Since you're here, vote quickly."

Lai Hunzi smiled, thanked the county magistrate, and directly put his and his daughter-in-law's tickets into the village chief's box.

There was no suspense in the final result. After the county magistrate announced that Village Chief Wan'an would continue to be the village chief, he set off back to the county with all the gentry.

The villagers returned home one after another, and An Xiaoxiao and Dawu also slowly followed the crowd out of the ancestral hall.When going out, Da Wu subconsciously turned around to look for Lai Hunzi and the others, only to find that they had long since disappeared, like ghosts and ghosts, coming and going without a trace.

According to normal practice, after the village head meeting, the next village head should invite the county magistrate and squires to have dinner together in the village. This time, for some reason, Village Head An sent them all the way to the entrance of the village. No matter what the squires hinted, they didn’t say a word , the squire was so angry that he cursed Yumu's head secretly, and left with his hands.

Village head An remained silent, without his usual arrogance, and watched them get into the carriage without even looking at Cui Cui, who was following behind, before raising his legs to go home.

At night, in the dead of night, two figures were walking in the back mountain forest one after the other. The taller figure in front was holding two shovels and was hurrying, followed by the shorter figure with a little difficulty, stopping from time to time to rest. After two breaths, he hurried to catch up again.

"Slow down, I can't walk anymore." Cui Cui propped her hands on her knees, she was almost out of breath, when she saw Village Chief An who was about to walk away in front of her, she felt resentful and squatted on the ground, refusing to move , "I want to go with you, I won't go."

Village head An, who was walking in front, paused when he heard the words, turned around and walked in front of her, reaching out to drag her, but she swung him away.A gloomy flash flashed across his eyes, he smiled viciously, and said with a sneer, "It doesn't matter, just sit here by yourself, and you won't be able to find something good." After saying that, Village Chief An stepped forward, Cuicui was left alone sitting on the ground.

The evening wind was whistling suddenly, and the words of Village Chief An made Cui Cui chill suddenly. She looked at the shadows of the whirling trees around her, and the coldness rushed from the back of her spine to the Tianling Gai, and a scream came out of her throat. He hurriedly stood up and ran forward, "Wait for me!"

The two came to the small slope in the forest. Village Chief An spat twice into his palm, picked up the shovel and was about to shovel it. Cui Cui grabbed his sleeve and hesitated, "Would this be bad?"

"What a joke, you don't think it's bad to bury them, but it's bad to dig them up now?" Village Chief An was full of sarcasm, and scolded the broken shoes with disdain, and just ignored the shovel. Standing beside him without saying a word.

Chapter 91 Affair

The soil was soon dug out of a hole. Village Chief An stopped for a while panting, and when he continued to dig, there was suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps around him, and the light of the torch surrounded him from far and near. Cui's expression froze, and before he could yell for someone to run, he felt a pain in his neck, and his whole body was pressed to the ground.

"What are you doing! Let me go!"

Cuicui's upper body was pressed in the mud, she raised her face with difficulty and looked at Village Chief An, only to see him lying on the ground in the same posture, his head covered in mud, his face flushed and cursing non-stop.

In the light, a figure came out from the shadows. The person who came was wearing an official robe and hat, with a solemn face. It was the county magistrate during the day.An Xiaoxiao and Dawu followed behind him, and they looked at the mud pit with heavy expressions.

Cui Cui tried her best to raise her head to look at them. Knowing that her deeds had been exposed, she sighed sadly or relievedly, resigned herself to her fate, let go of her resistance, lowered her face to the mud, and said nothing.Village head An was still struggling, and kept shouting after seeing the county magistrate: "I can explain, my lord! My lord!"

"Dig." The county magistrate didn't even look at the two of them, but stood in front of the mud pit and called for someone to dig it up. After receiving the order, several yamen servants dug up the soil three times and five times, revealing a pale and gray face. He squatted down, pulled the white handkerchief a few times, and nodded to the magistrate.

The county magistrate didn't make a sound, and signaled the yamen servant to continue digging deeper. He looked back at Village Chief An, who was still yelling, and frowned slightly. Just as he was about to yell at him, he saw Dawu take away the yamen servant just now with a stride. The veil of the corpse was stuffed into his mouth.

"Uh! Uhh!" Village Chief An's eyes widened in horror, and he wailed desperately. Cui Cui's eyes met Da Wu's for a moment, and he closed his eyes in fright.

The world became much cleaner in an instant, Da Wu clapped his hands and said with a smile, "It's done."

Everyone: .
Throw away the conspicuous thing.

An Xiaoxiao covered her face and pulled Da Wu behind her.

The embarrassing atmosphere didn't last long. With the sound of the yamen servant digging it up, everyone's expressions became serious. An Xiaoxiao probed to see, and as expected, there was a bone in a woman's dress hidden under the first corpse.Wu made an examination for a while, and concluded that the bones were a female corpse, and the time of death was within three months.The first male corpse was killed within about seven days.

"Do you recognize this corpse?"

The male corpse was dragged in front of the two by the yamen servants, and the handkerchief from his mouth was ripped out. Village Chief An turned his head to avoid the corpse, but others held him down and forced him to look at the corpse.

"Speak! My lord is asking you something!"

"My lord, it's the rascal in the village." Village head An regained his composure, gritted his teeth and answered, he looked up at the county magistrate, twitched his lips and said with a smile: "My lord, what do you mean?"

What do you mean you can't see it?Can really pretend.

An Xiaoxiao sneered, folded her arms to see how he behaved.

"The corpse is here, and you still want to quibble?" The county magistrate frowned, and sternly said, "You husband and wife murdered An Qing and Mrs. Wang, why don't you plead guilty quickly!"

"My lord, I'm wronged!" Village Chief An calmed down completely. He went through his mind quickly, and raised his head and said: "If you dig up the body, you will say that we murdered it. If someone died in another place, throw the body in front of us. Could it be that we murdered it too?"

"Why did you two come here to dig graves at night without sleeping? You didn't kill him, so why did you dig?" The yamen servant behind him pushed him impatiently.

"Joke, what I dug is what I killed?" Village Chief An retorted with a sneer: "We, my husband and I, like to go digging in the middle of the night, and we happened to find a corpse buried here, what's the problem?"

Village head An is now convinced that the county magistrate has no evidence, so he can only confess his guilt with his mouth. As long as he dies and does not let go, even the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, will not be able to convict him.

"Cunchang An, what is this?" An Xiaoxiao, who had been watching the show, suddenly squatted in the pit, took out a small object from inside, and handed it to Village Chief An.

Village Chief An's face froze, he twitched the corners of his mouth, and remained silent.

"Don't you explain," An Xiaoxiao tossed the small object in her hand, and the wooden seal glowed brightly under the light of the fire. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Is your jade badge on the corpse?"

"There's no explanation for this." Village Chief An stuck his neck and said forcefully, "Maybe someone stole it and put it on the corpse to frame me."

I have seen thick-skinned people, but I have never seen such thick-skinned people.An Xiao smiled stingily, and presented the wooden badge to the county magistrate.

"My lord, you can figure it out yourself." An Xiaoxiao stepped aside and shrugged.

This person doesn't care about anything, so she usually resorts to unconventional means, and now there is an official representing laws and regulations standing here, and she has to give the face that should be given.

"Take it back to the yamen directly, and have a hearing tomorrow." The county magistrate was silent for a while, and walked directly to Village Chief An: "Since you don't want to admit it now, then go back to the yamen, and I will send someone to help you identify it."

.........

An Xiaoxiao was speechless. Was the county magistrate so arrogant with lynching?

Village head An gritted his teeth and kept silent. The county magistrate sneered, and waved his hand directly to let the yamen guard take the two of them back.

Cui Cui, who was silent at the side, suddenly opened her mouth in tears: "I'll do it, I'll do it all, my lord."

"It was Lai Hunzi who came and threatened Village Chief An to ask for money, and Village Chief An killed Lai Hunzi in a fit of anger and threatened the women to help him bury his body." Cui Cui kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Village head An was furious, his eyes were red, and he roared angrily: "Stinky bitch, do you have the face to say it? Why don't you talk about you and Lai Hunzi's broken shoes?"

"My lord, she killed Mrs. Wang. When she and Lai Hunzi were found to be messing with broken shoes, she became enraged and killed him directly."

"Broken shoes?? I don't even bother to talk about the shitty things between you and the widow of the village head king. I've been with you for so many years. How about I get something?"

"You eat my clothes and wear mine, you wear gold and silver, and you seduce men everywhere, isn't it any good?"

"A trash who can't even take medicine in bed!"

The more the two quarreled, the more it became unbearable to the ear. The county magistrate couldn't bear to look directly at him, and waved his hand to let the yamen servant take him away.

The yamen servants stuffed their mouths with a handkerchief each, and escorted them away.

"Wait a minute." An Xiaoxiao stopped the yamen servant, walked to Village Chief An, and whispered something in his ear. "Father, when you drove me out and caused my mother to fall off a cliff and die, did you ever think that this day would come?"

Village head An stared at An Xiaoxiao's face with his eyes wide open, the flesh on his cheeks trembled rapidly, and a moaning sound came out of his throat.

An Xiaoxiao patted his cheek with her hands without a smile on her face, and said pitifully, "Go away."

Crowd: ...

The yamen servant escorted them away, and the county magistrate looked at their backs as they walked away with his hands behind his back, and sighed, "Come out, everyone."
