Portable Space: Dressing Up as a Little Brother

Chapter 49 Prepare for Interrogation

The Shen family got up at dawn.Father and the others went out to look at the two little thieves in the yard.It was found that they were still tied up well, and they seemed to be asleep.He found that these two people were really big-hearted, and they were able to fall asleep.But maybe I was too tired last night, so it makes sense.

Grandpa and the others also came out first to see who it was.So bold to touch their home.

Then, I found that there was a person who was very strange, and I had never seen it before, so it should be from another village.The other one is a bastard in the village, who usually doesn't go to work in the fields, but just wanders around in the village.And there are often petty thefts, but most of them are small things.

It's like picking some vegetables from the east family, and some fruits from the west family.Everyone knows that he stole it, but he will definitely not admit it.Moreover, the folks in the village don't have to go to his house just for a few vegetables and fruits.So basically it's all over.

And this person is only good at these small thefts in the village, and he will not steal anything that is large or valuable.So the village chief only beats him occasionally, and doesn't care about the rest.

It's just that their father is not a fuel-efficient lamp.Their family is also surnamed Shen, his father Shen Zheng is relatively honest, and his father Cui Min has the final say in the family.Their family is not considered rich, but they are not the poorest in the village either.Because there are only four people in their family, two couples plus a boy and a brother.

The son is the evil little thief who came last night, and his name is Shen Feng.Shen is only a year or two older this year, only 17 years old.He also has a younger brother named Shen Li, who is 14 years old this year.

There are only four people in their family. Except for the taxed food, they can't finish the rest of the year.After the autumn harvest, their family would often go to the town to sell grain.

Shen Zheng has never talked much, and only works hard to do the work in the field.Cui Min was married from a foreign village, and she is a very aggressive person.Moreover, he has a small mind and loves to take advantage of small things.He just wanted to take some things from other people's hands to his own home, and he didn't even want to take anything from his own home.

And Cui Min likes to spread gossip about what his boss bought in town!Xi's family has added a few more chickens!It was as if there was nothing he didn't know.That's why I taught such a son whose hands and feet have been dirty since he was a child.This is the youngest son of their family, Li Geer, who is a kind and good boy.

However, he didn't have much room to talk at home.They were all suppressed by his father.In addition, because of the relationship between his brother and father, their family has always had a bad reputation in the village.After a long time, Li Geer has developed a timid and shy character with low self-esteem.

In fact, it was a bit surprising when it was recognized that there was a person who was Shen Feng.If it was his father, Cui Min, who disclosed the news about Xiao Yu'er's family to the people from other villages, and then the people from other villages did it themselves, it would make sense.It's just that the one who usually steals the small ones dares to enter the house to steal the big ones.

Shen Daniu and the others didn't ask any more questions, just woke them up and escorted them to the village chief's house.Xiao Yu'er's house is still a little far away from the village head's house, but he didn't meet many people along the way.It's just dawn now, and many people haven't gone out yet.

Xiao Yu'er and the others also closed the courtyard door and followed.After arriving at the village head's house, I found that the village head's house had just gotten up.When the village chief saw that Shen Daniu and the others came in with two people tied up, he knew something had happened.He quickly called everyone to sit down in the yard, took Shen Daniu into the main room and sat down alone, and began to ask what happened.

Shen Daniu recounted what happened during the day and night yesterday, and then said: "Fortunately, the dog at home was vigilant and did not eat the drugged piece of meat. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen. Our whole family yesterday They all went to the ground, and they were very tired after a busy day, so they all slept deeply, and they couldn't wake up even if there was a big noise. Village chief, this is a catch. You have to seek justice for our family. .”

As he spoke, he glanced at the village chief.Then he continued: "I didn't think about going to the yamen to report the case because of the fact that one of them belonged to our own Shen family. If this matter gets out, our Shen family village and the entire Shen family will be ashamed." It is said that there is a thief in the village, and he brought outsiders to steal from the family. If this matter goes through the government, it will be a big deal. In the future, no brother from another village will marry into Shenjia Village. Their influence It's too bad. And I'm sure the mastermind is that outsider villager, and that boy Shen Feng usually has the ability to steal vegetables. If there is no outsider's instigation, he would definitely not dare to come to my house to steal things."

Shen Daniu took a breath, and said again: "Besides, I don't think they came here just for the money. At the beginning, I guessed that it might be done by someone who was jealous of the little money our family had earned recently. Then they walked on the road I was reminded by our family's little fish, and I didn't think it was quite right. It should be that in addition to the money, there might also be the meaning of stealing our family's candied fruit formula. Otherwise, the little money our family earns is not worth it. They came all the way from other villages to our Shenjia Village to steal. There are not many rich families in any village! So this matter, I don’t think it’s just a matter of our village or our clan.”

When Shen Daniu said this, the village head became more serious.He said in a low voice: "Our preserved fruit is specially sold to Jingrong Restaurant in the town. If the formula is really stolen, the restaurant's business will suffer. So the restaurant will definitely pay attention to this matter. And if The recipe is really gone, there are other shops that make it and sell it. If Jingrong Restaurant can’t sell it, then it will definitely not come to our house to buy.”

Shen Daniu continued: "In this case, the matter of our village finally being able to sell some fruits for some pocket flowers will be ruined. Besides, didn't our family just ask the village chief for you to buy a mountain? It was also specially prepared to buy fruit trees, At that time, if the crops on the poor land of the folks in the village are really not good, they can also plant fruit trees and sell the fruit to our family. I remember that your family also has some good land like this. Moreover, When the fruit is more ripe, our family will definitely not be able to make preserved fruit. The family has already planned to build a workshop under the mountain we just bought, and will definitely hire someone to help make preserved fruit. In this way, the men in the village will not be too busy. It’s just that you don’t have to go to the town to look for work anymore? Besides, not only men can do the job of making preserved fruit, but also the husband of the family can do it. Our family always comes with the whole family.”

After hearing so much from Shen Daniu, the village chief was thinking about it himself.

Finally, he thought about it seriously, and said to Shen Daniu: "What you said makes sense, let's go directly to the ancestral hall later. Let's interrogate whether it is from the formula of preserved fruit. If that is the case, we need to see if it is The people from other villages who came here last night were worried, and it was instigated by other people. After the specific situation is in the ancestral hall, invite the clan leader and other clan elders. The villagers can also ask everyone to come and see if they are still alive. Does anyone know anything?" He took a sip of water, and then continued, "Shen Zheng's family, in particular, must be called to inquire carefully. They have become so bold that they dare to bring outsiders to steal things They can do this now, but they don’t know what they will do in the future. They must be taught enough lessons this time, otherwise there will be other ways to make money in the village in the future. Don’t they have to worry about the villagers all the time? They will leak the news again, and even do things like this again. This time it’s because your family was careful that they didn’t really let them succeed, otherwise it would be a big deal.”

After speaking, he went out from the main room with Shen Daniu.When they walked to the yard, they found that many villagers had surrounded the door, and they were all looking outside.Seeing them like this, the village chief said loudly: "Don't stay here, go to the ancestral hall quickly. Everyone in the village must go. If you meet someone who doesn't know when you pass by, please let me know."

When the villagers who were watching heard that they were going to the ancestral hall, they knew that something serious had happened.They all dispersed at once, and everyone went home to announce the news.The village chief also sent someone to notify the patriarch and other elders.He also asked his youngest son to beat the gong to notify the whole village.

Shen Daniu and the others escorted the two thieves to the Shen family's ancestral hall.When they arrived, many villagers had already arrived outside the ancestral hall.The village head plans to interrogate Shen Feng in the ancestral hall first.Get things straight first.That outsider must not be allowed to enter the ancestral hall, so a few men were kept outside to guard it.

The villagers are almost here, the patriarch has not yet arrived, and several other clan masters have not yet arrived.It must be too early, the patriarch and the others are older, so they won't get up so early.

During the time waiting for the patriarch and them, the villagers were all talking there.Most of them don't know what happened to be called to the ancestral hall so early.A few people who got wind of it started to tell others about the situation.Then, it became more and more outrageous.Xiao Yu'er stood among the villagers, listening to what they were talking about.Really can't help but laugh out loud.

Brother Tao also came with his father and father.As soon as he saw the outsider who was tied up, he knew what was going on.Just whispered to his father.After he returned home yesterday, he also told his father what happened at the door of Xiao Yu'er's house.His father was worried about him, so he was not allowed to look for Xiao Yu'er again.Said to wait for things to be clarified before going, and going now will not help.
