What about the stepmother dressed as three villains?

The old man looked Jiang Lianzhu and the others up and down again.

It seems to be questioning, there are still female officials?

Jiang Lianzhu is dressed up like Liao Jiu today, very capable.

Liao Jiu simply took out his six-door badge, anyway, the old man couldn't understand it, he would only think it was high-end and high-end, and he was a member of the government.

"Old man, look, this is our token to carry out the mission."

Carved and hollowed out, the metal has a stable light, and there is a big six-character logo on it, which looks tall.

People who are not from the government, how can they have such a magnificent thing?

Under the deterrence of the belt badge, the old man's vigilance has dropped a lot.

He glanced at it several times, and then spoke again.

This time I cooperated a lot.

With a long sigh, "In our backing village, there was indeed a clan member with the surname Si in the past. He was an official outside, but he was just a eunuch. When he was mentioned, the whole village was ashamed. Generally, he was not mentioned, just as if there was no such person."

Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Jiu looked at each other, it was right here.

Continue to wait for his post.

The old man continued: "Even if he is well-off outside, our village thinks he is abnormal and doesn't want to have anything to do with him. It is said that he has come back a few times and has a good reputation, but he doesn't have a good face in the village, so he won't come back often. , his parents couldn't hold their heads up after him, and their family has already removed him, even though he is the only child in the family..."

Jiang Lianzhu asked: "What happened next?"

Sitting on the stone pier at the door, the old man continued to recall, "His parents died decades ago. Their family should be unprecedented. It seems that he has two older sisters who married out, and now he probably died too early." Even he should be dead, we don’t know, and he hasn’t come back since then, mentioning him, our village is ashamed, and no one pays attention to it, and usually few people talk about him.”

According to the records in the county annals, it does have such a long history.

Liao Jiu didn't give up, "Then his two sisters are married, do they have descendants? Where do they live? Is there any news?"

"It's not from the village, but from where. I forgot. I just remember that my age is about the same as mine. Because of him, his sisters seemed to be married and looked down upon by others. Before Lao Si and the others died, The daughters of the Si family came back to see them, and after they died, they never saw their family again, for decades..."

Seeing his grandchildren eating candy happily, the old man felt embarrassed, frowned and tried to think about it.

"His two elder sisters seem to have sons, but they married out, and where the descendants went, I don't know... the famine years ago may have starved to death, anyway, now, the Si family is Extinct..."

If it weren't for old people like them, the juniors would not know that there was a family with the surname Si in the past.

Liao Jiu asked: "Is their ancestral house still there? Can you show us?"

The old man shook his head: "After their family died, they used to live in thatched huts. After a long time, it was exposed to wind and rain, and no one maintained it. It has long since disappeared and turned into a wasteland."

This……

Jiang Lianzhu had an idea, "Then every year, does anyone from the Si family come back to visit the grave? Or is there any sign of visiting the grave?"

At this time, the old man was taken aback by the question, and then said, "I haven't seen anyone, but there are often traces of people inserting green on the grave, we guess it might be the villagers who helped insert it?"

Jiang Lianzhu's expression remained the same, with a smile on her face, "Can you take us to see their ancestral graves? If you are old man, we can give you some money for running errands."

The old man's legs and feet are inconvenient, "No need, cooperate with the government's investigation, we ordinary people deserve it..."

After finishing speaking, he asked the old woman and the eldest grandson to lead Jiang Lianzhu and the others.

Went to the remote back mountain.

There are several solitary tombs, which are relatively solidly built.

If no one takes care of a solitary grave like this, there will definitely be weeds all over the surrounding area, and there is no way to walk. There is no such thing here, and it can be seen that there are traces of frequent pruning.

It should be that someone came to talk to him every now and then.

Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Jiu looked around and realized that this family should have no future.

The villagers do not accept cash, so Jiang Lianzhu gave a lot of candies to the children.

The children accepted it welcomingly and apologized repeatedly.

This is the first time they have harvested so many sweet candies when they grow up. They have never eaten such sweet and delicious candies during Chinese New Year.

Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Jiu sat on the golden eagle and went back to the village. They asked other villagers and found out the general name of the mountain village where the two elder sisters surnamed Si were married.

After the visit, it was dark before returning to the county seat.

On the second day, I went out to visit again. The two older sisters who married out were dead, some villages were moved, and some villages were merged to escape. It was very difficult, but in the end they found nothing.

It was Liao Jiu who had a heart before, and left someone to follow him in the lonely grave in the back mountain village.

After Jiang Lianzhu and the others had been running around for two days, the stalkers reported that they had found an old man who was weeding and offering incense to the lonely grave.

Liao Jiu was arraigned in time.

After asking, I found out that the old man is a villager near the backing mountain village. He is an old widower. There is no one else in the family and he lives alone. I can't tell others about the lonely grave bag, it's best to go secretly...

The old widower had no children. He used to be a hunter when he was young. When he was old, he was worried that he would not be able to support himself, so he took up this job and lived on it for several years.

"Gentlemen! I didn't break the law! I just looked at people's graves. I didn't do anything harmful. The Si family buried here, after their family died, no one came to worship. I helped them look at the graves. Am I not guilty?" The old widower was a little terrified.

Liao Jiu said in a deep voice, "No, we just came to ask you, who asked you to look at the grave? What does it look like? Who's the name?"

"Well, I don't know about this old man. Generally, it should be a descendant, or a friend who had acquaintances before. I asked before, and the master told me not to meddle in my own business. Shut up and don't ask. Ask wow, what does it look like? I forgot wow, it’s been a few years, it seems to be a young man, who gives me money on time every year, and the money comes directly from the old man’s house, I’ve only met him once, ordinary people, mediocre No surprises, I forgot about it since I didn't deal with it later..."

The thread is broken again.

The old widower trembled with fear.

Liao Jiu saw that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he let him go back.

"It's okay, you don't have to be afraid, you didn't break the law, we just came to investigate as a routine, let's go back."
