Space peasant girl: Farming girl is going to turn the world upside down

Chapter 452 Personal investigation
Listening to the yamen servant's question, the shopkeeper stood there, frowned and thought for a while, and said to the yamen servants with a smile: "You two officials, I have explained the question you asked carefully, I really can't remember, is there any Liu family who comes here to buy grain, because the business of the small shop is not bad, and there are really many people who come every day. I really don't know the people you mentioned, and I don't know them. I don't know which lady it is, but I ask the two officials to forgive me, I really can't help you much."

The two yamen servants listened to shopkeeper Wang's words, glanced at him, and asked, "Why is your shop closed in broad daylight? The door is still closed. Could it be that you have earned enough money?"

Shopkeeper Wang heard the two yamen servants asking this question, stood there with an embarrassed expression on his face, and said with a smile: "No, the clerk of the small shop asked for leave. I just went to the latrine and I didn't think of you two. The official came so coincidentally, it makes you laugh."

The two yamen servants listened to his words, turned around and left, and continued to visit other merchants.

Shopkeeper Wang watched them leave, wiped the sweat from his forehead in shock, opened the door of the store, and continued to operate.

Besides, he, Dong Dabao, and Zhengshan sat around the counter and began to ponder the whole story of this matter.

The three of them thought about it, and suddenly heard Zhengshan say: "We're discussing here, but we can't come up with anything. I think we should go to Mrs. Liu's house and have a look! Maybe there will be something new." clue."

Listening to what he said, Dabao nodded in agreement, looked at Walnut and said, "You and Zheng Shan should go to Liushi's house. I will stay in the shop and take care of the business. After all, this matter has spread. Yes, it has already affected the business of our store. I will try to find a way to see if I can minimize the impact. Just do your best to investigate this matter. It is best to investigate this matter as soon as possible. Qing, don't let the power go, looking at the government, the speed of the government's people's work should be called a snail, I think we should be faster in doing things and investigating."

Walnut understood Dabao's words, stood there thinking for a while, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, then let's go now, and the sooner we finish the matter, the better."

After finishing speaking, Walnut's eyes scanned the shop by himself, and then asked Sister Cherry who was standing not far away: "Where did Chen Erfool go? Call him over and ask him to lead us to Liu's Take a trip to my house."

Cherry listened to Walnut's instructions, and hurried to the backyard of the store. It wasn't long before she brought Chen Ersha over. Walnut looked at Zhang Ersha and said, "Do you know where Mrs. Liu's family lives? Now Just lead us there, we want to check the ins and outs of this matter."

Chen Ersha listened to Walnut's words, looked at him and nodded, and said in a low voice, "Then I will lead you there."

Walnut and Zhengshan followed Cheng Ersha out of the shop, and went directly to Mrs. Liu's house.

Not long after, Walnut and Zhengshan followed Chen Ersha to the front of Liu's house and stopped. Chen Ersha looked at Walnut and said, "The head of the house, this is Liu's home."

Hearing what Chen Ersha said, Walnut walked to the front door, reached out and knocked on the door of their house, waited for a while, but found that no one came out, and Walnut standing here frowned instinctively. Walked over, looked at her and said, "Let's push the door and go in, maybe people in the house didn't hear it!"

After listening to Zhengshan's words, Walnut took a look into the yard, and felt that what he said made sense, because the gate of this yard was really far away from the main house.

Seeing this, Walnut pushed open the door and walked in. Just as he walked into the yard, he heard a dog barking from a small shack next to the main house.

Walnut, Zhengshan and the others stopped and looked over there. It was built in a small shack on the street of Fangshan, and a puppy ran out with a rope tied around its neck, looking at them and barking.

Walnut smiled, turned to Zhengshan and said: "It seems that this family's conditions are not bad, and they can afford dogs, but I don't know, why do they still cook the food when they see that it's gone?"

Walnut, Zhengshan and the others came to the door of the house, opened the door and walked in.

Just walking into the house, Walnut not only frowned at everything that came into his eyes, but also saw that the house was in a mess, and the firewood and haystacks in the stove were piled up in a mess connected to the stove.

After crossing the stove, and pushing open the door of the inner room, Walnut smelled an unpleasant smell, and when Walnut was about to step into the inner room, he suddenly heard a weak man coming from the inner room. the sound of.

Just listening to this voice, he asked, "Who is that outside?"

Hearing this voice, Walnut stopped, stood at the door and said to the people inside: "Are you the owner of this house? I came to ask you something, can I go in?"

Hearing Walnut's question, the man in the room said, "Come in, it's just that the room is a bit dirty, so don't dislike it."

Walnut and Zheng Shan listened to the permission of the man in the room, and stepped in. When they entered the room, they saw that the man who had just spoken was lying on the kang, covered with a quilt, with a weak expression on his face. look.

While Walnut was looking at the man lying on the kang, the man lying on the kang coughed softly, raised his head to look at Walnut and Zhengshan and said weakly: "Come in, you can find a place to sit , I’ve been sick all year round, and I’m not well received.”

Walnut and Zhengshan listened to his words, and then carefully looked at the man lying on the kang. After a closer look, Walnut found that the man was not very old, about thirty years old. Looking at the text Weak and weak, he should be a scholar or something, but now he is sick, his face is ugly, the quilt on his body is also dirty, and he looks very sloppy.

Seeing the walnuts here, he came to him, and asked him, "This is Mrs. Liu's home, right? What about others? It should be time to cook dinner, why aren't you at home? Where did you go? Do you know? "

Hearing Walnut's question, the man lay on the kang, sighed deeply, and said with a helpless expression: "The time you asked about is my wife. He is not at home, and I don't know where he is going." Now, since I got sick, I haven't seen him often, and I don't bother to ask him, what can you do with him?"
