Chapter 207 The clues obtained by Caiwanzi
Xiazhai is under the jurisdiction of Dapo Village, but it does not belong to Dapo Village to be precise.

About 200 years ago, a group of mountain people who were killed wanted to settle down in Dapo Village, but there were so many refugees. Due to various considerations, Dapo did not accept them at that time. Instead, they allowed the refugees to open up wasteland and build houses on the outskirts of Dapo Village.

Later, some mountain villagers who had committed crimes and were expelled had nowhere to go, so they joined the Xiazhai Village. Later, some mountain villagers would send prisoners with heinous crimes that they could not take care of to the Xiazhai Village and asked Dapo Village to take care of them.

Of course, Dapo Village does not work in vain. Those cottages will hand over a certain amount of money and grain as "prison fees" every year.

It can be seen from this that Xiazhai is a mixed bag and is definitely not a good place. Some people call Xiazhai an "evil village".

There are good people in Xiazhai, but they are all very poor. Raising chickens can not only eat eggs, but also sell chicks, eggs, and chickens. It is a good living.Almost every household in Xiazhai raises chickens, but not every household has the ability to raise many. Most of them only raise three or two.

Jiang Wan studied with Da Po. She was young and couldn't understand the complicated things, but she could understand the general affairs. She knew what poverty and wealth were.

Jiang Wan knew that Sanwang and the others were very poor, so even if Sanwang didn't help her find someone, she was willing to bring them cakes to eat.

"Chickens die every day? When did it start?" Jiang Wan also sat in the grass to hide from the sun, put her little hand on her face and fanned herself.

Brother Miao had always known that Jiang Wan was good-looking, but this was the first time he saw Jiang Wan at such a close distance and could smell the faint fragrance of flowers on Jiang Wan. He blushed and said goodbye.

Jiang Wan wrote it down and found that it seemed to be the day after she eavesdropped on her mother-in-law in the middle of the night.

"Tell me again how chickens die." Jiang Wan said.

"Those chickens don't make any strange noises during the day. They all die in the middle of the night. Before they die, they will suddenly scream and make a fuss. The sound is very scary -" Brother Miao grabbed his throat and imitated twice, but felt that it didn't look like it, so he continued. Said: "The chicken was jumping, coughing, and vomiting blood. I heard that someone was sprayed with blood."

Jiang Wan wrinkled her face, as if she had been poisoned.

Brother Miao is still talking: "Sanwang's family has more than 30 chickens, and the blood they cough up almost turns into a river! Sanwang's father has died a long time ago, and his mother is so fierce. After the chickens die, they hold their hands on their hips every day. He cursed people, and I didn’t even dare to pass by Sanwang’s house when I went home.”

Jiang Wan groaned inwardly: "So Sanwang's mother said this was the mountain god's punishment for Da Po?"

Brother Miao was resentful. He knew that Jiang Wan had fallen out after hearing this before.

Jiang Wan urged him: "I won't be angry this time, just tell me."

Brother Miao then said: "I don't know much about it either. Many people say it's Da Po who is bad. My grandma said that Da Po is not a serious Da Po..."

"What's wrong with my mother-in-law?!" Jiang Wan asked fiercely.

Despite her young age, if this is not a serious word, she understands it!
Brother Miao: "...You said you won't be angry."

Jiang Wan puffed up her cheeks and said reluctantly: "Then you are not allowed to say any more."

"Obviously you asked me first..." Brother Miao muttered.

Jiang Wan saw that it was getting late and was afraid that her mother-in-law would be back soon, so she said to Brother Miao: "If you still want some cakes, come here at this time tomorrow, but you have to help me find out more about chicken plague—— No, we can’t say chicken plague, someone poisoned it.”

Brother Miao just wanted to make a living, so he naturally agreed and promised to do his best.

After he left, Jiang Wan hurriedly sat down at the desk to study. Not long after, Jiang Lianqing came back. Seeing how well-behaved she was, she even said something nice.

Jiang Wan raised her little face and smiled happily at her mother-in-law. She also asked her what her mother-in-law was doing when she went out. Jiang Lianqing only said that she had something to do and didn't say much else.

Jiang Wan was not unhappy because she was concealed. On the contrary, she was very excited. She was thinking about catching the poisoner, helping her mother-in-law solve a major problem, and getting her mother-in-law to praise her and recognize her!

With "ambition" in mind, Jiang Wan met Brother Miao again the next day.

"Today's reward." Jiang Wan opened the vegetable dumplings wrapped in lotus leaves and showed them to him. The dumplings were lightly fried and very fragrant. They were not big in size, and there were only four of them, but Brother Miao was drooling. It dripped down.

He couldn't wait to reach out, but Jiang Wan took back the vegetable dumplings, "You tell me first, and I'll give it to you after I finish."

She learned to be smart and was afraid that Brother Miao would be as perfunctory as Sanwang.Brother Miao had no choice but to hold back his greed, "Four more chickens died last night. Da Po asked people to patrol at night, but no one was caught -"

He paused and scratched his head, "It's not like we didn't catch the person, it's just that we didn't see anyone take action at all."

When Jiang Wan heard this, he couldn't help but feel worried.

Brother Miao looked at Jiang Wan's face and spoke cautiously: "Because the murderer has never been caught, Da Po couldn't tell what the poison was. Many people now think that chicken plague may not be real, but the punishment imposed by the mountain god is real. That’s right…it’s not about Da Po, it’s about the fact that there are too many bad people in the village.”

Jiang Wan was stunned. In her eyes, her mother-in-law was omnipotent, but she didn't even know what poison those chickens had?
At this moment, even Jiang Wan was a little shaken.

Naturally, she didn't believe that the mountain god would punish her mother-in-law, but it was true that there were many bad people in the village. Maybe the mountain god wanted to punish some bad people?

Jiang Wan's eyes lit up, "Tell me, who are the people whose chickens died in their homes?"

Brother Miao opened his mouth wide: "There are so many people here, how could I know..."

"Here you go." Jiang Wan gave him the vegetable balls neatly and said with a smile: "Help me find out, especially if anyone in these people's families has done anything bad."

Brother Miao accepted the lotus leaf bag and said, "Then I want eight vegetable balls tomorrow."

Jiang Wan's heart ached, but she gritted her teeth, just to eat less!

"Row!"

Jiang Wan thought very simply. As long as the bad guy who was punished by the Mountain God was found out, the rumors against her mother-in-law would be self-defeating!

She is so smart!
The next day, Brother Miao came to greet his eight vegetable balls with a basket of news.

Jiang Wan also specially prepared pen and paper to write down what Brother Miao said.

Brother Miao was very envious when he saw that she could write, "On the first night, the first family that had the accident raised three chickens..."

The Jiang family sat around Jiang Wan's ward and were also analyzing the matter.

Jiang Jie clicked his tongue and marveled: "This boy is amazing. Not only does he ask questions, but he also has a strong memory!"

Jiang Jiao agreed: "At least it's better than that one who cheated on food and drink." As early as when he found out that Sanwang was fooling his sister, Jiang Jiao was holding his breath.

Bai Suyi held her daughter's little hand on the hospital bed and looked at Jiang Wan who was taking notes seriously on the screen. The most worrying thing was when Jiang Wan would wake up.

When Brother Miao's mouth went dry, Jiang Wan also memorized five large pieces of paper.

She returned to her room and spread the paper on the table, "Sir Shanshen, which family made you unhappy? Can you give me some advice, Xiao Wan?"

The Jiang family couldn't help laughing when they heard Jiang Wan making such a blatant request.

The family carefully recalled who Brother Miao had talked about and tried to help her catch the murderer. However, before the Jiang family could discuss a result, and before the Jiang family could figure out how to pass the result on to Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan suddenly Said: "...Master Mountain God, I feel very strange."

The Jiang family immediately stopped the discussion and listened carefully.

Jiang Wan was originally kneeling on the chair, but gradually relaxed and slumped into the chair.

"On the first night, the five families involved in the accident were all far apart. On the second night, there were also six families who were not next to each other. Starting from the third night, my mother-in-law sent people to patrol... The four families involved in the accident were all in the west of Xiazhai. On the fourth night We are all in the south at night, and there are two families separated by only three families. What happened last night was simply four families connected together..."

Jiang Wan touched her hungry belly and came to a conclusion: "Actually, someone must have poisoned me, and it has nothing to do with Lord Mountain God..."

Only human beings would be afraid of patrols, but why did they take such a big risk to poison so many chickens?
