âOh my god, if we can get 100 taels of silver, we can live a good life every day!â âThatâs right. Let me think. Have any strangers come to the village recently?â
âBy the way, didnât Tie Danâs wifeâs second cousin come once? But he doesnât look like a fugitive!â
The leader asked, âWhat does that person do? How is he dressed? Is he a nearby villager?â
The villager said excitedly, âHeâs just a ground digger. Heâs wearing the same clothes as us. I donât know how many patches there are on his clothes. Heâs from our nearby village. His cousin married into our village. The last time she came, she was visiting her relatives!â
âYes, yes. But heâs not from our village. Such a person would be considered a stranger, wouldnât he?â
The leaderâs face darkened. They were looking for a stranger. Why would they tell about a local villager?
If it wasnât for the fact that the timing wasnât right, he would have dug out their heads to see what was inside!
He took a deep breath and said, âDonât tell us about the people who lived nearby. We want a living person, and an injured one at that. Did anyone in your village call a doctor?â
Without thinking, the villager said, âSir, you donât know, but weâre so poor that we canât even eat. Who would go and get a doctor!â
âIsnât that so? Usually, if you have a headache or fever, you can treat it yourself. Thereâs no need for a doctor.â
The leader did not give up and said, âThink about it carefully. This kind of thing doesnât happen every day. Itâs equivalent to a pie falling from the sky. You donât have to do anything now and just take a hundred taels. You wonât be able to earn so much even if you dig for a lifetime!â
Although the villagers really wanted this hundred taels, there were indeed no strangers in the village. They shook their heads one after another. âThere are really no strangers in the village recently.â
Fortunately, Cheng Yu came late last night and did not encounter anyone along the way. Otherwise, these people would have killed their way over.
Old Zhao happened to drive the ox cart to the entrance of the village. When he saw the soldiers, he was a little curious. He pulled the person beside him and started asking.
âWhat happened? Why are there so many soldiers?â
A kind-hearted person answered Old Zhao, âThey said that thereâs a fugitive? These soldiers are here to catch the fugitiveâŠâ
Before that person could finish speaking, someone not far away saw Old Zhao coming and shouted, âWhy are you only here now? Weâre in a hurry to go to town. Hurry up and drive the carriage.â
Old Zhao quickly said, âComing, coming-â
What did catching a fugitive have to do with him? He was still busy earning money!
Old Zhao had no idea that he had brushed past a huge sum of money.
The group of people did not take Old Zhao seriously. After all, what could an old man know?
If he knew something incredible, wouldnât he tell them?
When the group of people saw that these villagers did not know anything and were even surrounding them to watch the commotion, they did not want to continue wasting time with them. They directly grabbed someone and asked him to bring them to the village chiefâs house.
After the group of people left, the villagers started whispering to each other. Most of the topics were about â100 taels of silverâ.
When Chen Xiang came out of the field, the villagers were still discussing. She originally thought that it was just a joke and did not take it to heart.
When she passed by Su Liâs house on her way home, she even looked in and found it strange that there was no sound inside. She walked in again and saw He Yufeng, He Qingyao, and He Qingmu sitting in the courtyard. She thought that perhaps it was because Su Li was not up yet, so the three of them did not dare to make a sound.
Hence, she picked up the bucket and went home.
When He Dahai saw her return, he could not help but complain, âWhy are you only back now? Are you addicted to working?â đđđđđđđ«đŁđđ«đđ”.đŹđđ
Chen Xiang explained, âI was enjoying the show at the village entrance, so I came back a little late.â
âWhat is it?â He Dahai asked casually.
Chen Xiang said, âItâs because the soldiers here to arrest someone. They said that heâs a fugitive and heâs injured. If anyone can provide clues, theyâll even give a hundred taels of silver!â
After saying that, Chen Xiang shook her head. It was not so easy to get a hundred taels of silver. Murderers were not so stupid. They would definitely hide well and wouldnât let them see it.
Unexpectedly, He Dahaiâs expression was very complicated when he heard her words.
Seeing that her manâs expression was not right, Chen Xiang could not help but ask, âHubby, whatâs wrong? Have you seen that person?â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about!â He Dahai covered her mouth in shock and quickly closed the door.
Chen Xiang asked curiously, âWhatâs wrong?â
With this, she began to feel uneasy.
He Dahai said softly, âI saw He Yufeng and Su Li carrying a bloody person back from the mountain yesterday. Su Li picked him up from the mountain. I saw the letter she asked Riceball to send to He Yufeng.â
At that time, he felt that this matter was not simple. Now, it seemed that it was really not simple.
Chen Xiang was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth. âThis is a serious crime. I heard from those bailiffs that that person is a fugitive. Hiding a fugitive is punishable by death.â
He Dahai nodded. âThatâs right. I didnât expect them to be so bold as to hide a murderer.â
Chen Xiang came back to her senses and was about to walk out of the house. âNo, I have to tell the sister to hide him quickly. It will be terrible if sheâs discovered. â
She had seen that group of people heading towards the village chiefâs house just now. Could it be that the village chief was going to lead them to search the village later?
No, no, she had to tell Su Li immediately and let her think of a way to deal with this matter.
He Dahai grabbed Chen Xiangâs arm. âAre you crazy? Why are you reporting to her? If the officials find out, weâll be arrested too. Moreover, this is a good thing for us.â
He knew that his luck would not be too bad. In the end, a hundred taels of silver came knocking on his door.
He Dahaiâs eyes flashed. âDidnât that bailiff say that we can take a hundred taels of silver? If we tell them this news, this hundred taels of silver will be ours.â
âDonât you want money? With that hundred taels of silver, our son wonât have to worry about going to school in the future. Heâs so smart. He might even be able to get us a top scholar in the future!â
Chen Xiang looked at He Dahai in disbelief, as if she had never known him. âTake back what you said just now. Iâll pretend that I never heard it. Itâs not like you donât know how Sister treats us. Besides, I donât want to take such money.
Iâm afraid I wonât be able to sleep at night.â
When she heard this hundred taels, she was indeed tempted. However, Su Li had been taking care of their family everywhere these days. If she sold Su Li for this money, she felt that she would never be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of her life.
Some silver should be taken, and some silver should not be taken!
He Dahai snorted. âYouâre really soft-hearted.. Whatâs the use of being good to us? Can she be used as money? Can she let us live a good life?â
