Li Zhensheng asked again, "Are you sure, or has anyone in the town seen Mrs. Gong lying in the coffin with their own eyes? Is it possible that she is still alive?"
Li Fu'er and his wife both raised their heads in surprise and asked: "How did my boss know that Mrs. Gong was not dead?"
"What did you find out?" Li Zhensheng asked without answering.
Li Fu's wife hurriedly said: "Yesterday afternoon, we went out for a walk, bought some candies, and spread them to the children nearby, trying to make some jokes.
"The children all said that there was an unlucky man in the Gong family. They were all dead. Later, when we walked to the inn, we were stopped by a naughty boy. He said that Suozi's grandma was not dead, he had seen it!
Li Fu's wife was afraid that her boss wouldn't understand, so she explained, "Suozi is the nickname of the boy from the Gong family. They always play together on weekdays. " The child said that he went to the back mountain to collect firewood and took the wrong road. He met Suozi's grandma in a wooden house, and Suozi's grandma asked him for something to eat.
"He was so frightened that he ran home and talked about it, but his family didn't believe it. They said he had seen a ghost. They even found someone to burn talisman paper for him and forced him to drink talisman gray water. They never let him go again. He went up the mountain!
"Both of us felt that what the boy was telling the truth was. We wanted to go up the mountain to have a look, but were afraid of attracting attention, so we thought of going back to report the news and asking our boss to find someone to go up the mountain and have a look.
Li Zhensheng knew what was going on, so he told them, "Don't leave today. Go outside and ask around. There is a ruffian named Liu here who likes to lure people to Xindu to go to the casino. "
"This ruffian's cousin is the manager of a casino. Remember to ask him what his name is and what the name of the casino is. I'll take people to the mountains to explore first. If anything happens, I'll have someone come back and let you know."
"Yes, Boss." Li Fu and his wife quickly agreed.
Soon, they pretended not to know each other and had breakfast separately. Then, Li Zhensheng took the soldiers to take a detour and climbed up from the other side of Beishan.
At this time of year, the weather is cold, snow falls on the road and it is difficult to walk, and climbing the mountain is even more stumbling.
Fortunately, all the firewood for the winter has been stored. The northern mountain is not high, and there are no wild animals to hunt.
Therefore, the mountains are very quiet, and the only cabin that provides temporary accommodation is not difficult to find.
The soldiers were cautious, leaving two to protect Li Zhensheng, while the other four slowly approached the wooden house, hid behind a tree and threw a stone at the wooden door, but there was no movement at all in the house.
A soldier leaned over and coughed, but there was still no response, so he lay on the crack of the door and took a look.
As a result, when he looked back, his expression changed and he quickly retreated.
When Li Zhensheng saw him from a distance, he came over and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
The soldier took a deep breath and replied, "Sir, there is indeed only one old lady in the house, but she is lying at the door. Look...it seems like he has no energy left. "
Dead?"
Li Zhensheng quickly led people over. The door of the wooden house was locked, but the soldiers took a dagger and pried it open, and the copper lock was opened without any damage.
The two wooden doors were pushed open from the inside out. Without the support of the copper lock, the wooden doors suddenly opened wide, and an old lady fell out.
He was wearing a blue brocade jacket that was extremely dirty, his hair was messy, and he was lying on the threshold, making no sound.
A soldier raised his feet and turned the old lady over, and everyone gasped.
This can no longer be called a human being, it is simply a skinny and human-shaped stick.
She didn't know how many days she had been hungry. The old lady's face was ashen, her eye sockets were sunken, and the skin on her neck was close to the bones, as if her head would fall off with the slightest touch.
Li Zhensheng silently calculated the date in his mind. According to what Gong Yunshu and the inn boy said, the Gong family held the funeral half a month ago.
In other words, the old lady's nephew and her nephew were secretly taken out and hidden here together to plot against her grandchildren.
I'm afraid that from that day on, no one would bring her food, and no one would remember to let her go free! It's your own fault, so stupid!
Li Zhensheng really didn't know what to say. He was laughing at a dead man. He couldn't do it.
But these eight words kept echoing in his mind!
This old lady wanted to use her nephew to force her granddaughter to be an internal agent, enter the Li family, pick up the Li family, and then kick out her nephew.
But why didn't she think of the consequences of seeking skin from a tiger?
After people have finished using her, they naturally have no intention of coaxing her.
As a result, for a young man, he had lived a lifetime of food and clothing, and finally died of starvation here!
"That's all, let's see if there's anything on her that can be used as a token. Take one back to Broken Gold Beach and ask to confirm the identity of this old lady. Go back quickly!" Li Zhensheng waved his hand and said.
The soldiers quickly got to work, and soon, a silver bracelet on the old lady's wrist was taken off.
Two soldiers rode back to Ruijintan, closed the door, restored the wooden house to its original state, and guarded it.
The last two followed Li Zhensheng back to the inn. Li Fuler and his wife had already finished inquiring about the news.
"My boss, that ruffian named Liu is very unpopular here. I heard that many people were ruined by him. His cousin has never been to town, but it's not difficult to find out.
"His brother's surname is Bao, and the name of the casino is The Four Seasons Ruyi Casino is located in the north of Xindu City. It is not big, but there are many people. "
Li Zhensheng nodded, feeling more and more sure.
Because the place where Zhang Jin lured the villagers to gamble was the Four Seasons Ruyi Gambling House, and the casino steward Zhang Jin had close contact with was indeed named Bao.
But since Wei Dajun was injured, the veterans of the Hou Mansion have been watching But the manager named Bao did not see any unusual behavior on his part.
I originally thought that the family was over-attentive, but now it seems that they have just changed their strategy and found another way!
If their family had not been vigilant, and if their consciences had not been discovered and confessed early, Maybe these people's plan is really successful.
That Gong Yunshu is not bad looking, and he seems to be literate, and with the help of life-saving grace, maybe he can really win over the villagers after spending a few months in Suijintan. Good feelings can also make the second child attracted.
After all, the second child's biggest regret in life is not studying and marrying a stupid wife...
This Gong Yunshu can satisfy all the beautiful imagination of the second child for a partner!
Li Zhensheng frowned more and more. .
It has to be said that the person behind this scheme has really put in a lot of effort and has studied the Li family thoroughly.
But the only thing the person behind it did not calculate is that their brothers were born in a farmer's family, and they grew up very slowly but kept growing. .
In the past few years, they have experienced life and death several times and struggled to survive, making them unusually united and extremely firm in their protection of the family.
For everything they have now, they are like squirrels holding fruit, each bite You should stand up your neck and look around.
They have no ambitions or jealousy of others, but they will never allow anyone to take away their "fruit"!
Therefore, when there is a disturbance, others don't think anything of it, but they already have long knives in their hands, Always be prepared to fight against invading enemies!
Let's not talk about what happened to Li Zhensheng in Qingmu Town, but it was already afternoon when the two soldiers returned to Broken Gold Beach.
Jiayin was in space last night and caused a lot of harm to potatoes. I think I tossed some starch out for my mother.
Although she succeeded, she was also very tired.
Now that she was full, she lay on the big kang and hugged her beloved cloth tiger to catch up on her sleep.
Mrs. Li sat aside and watched . Looking after my granddaughter and doing needlework...
