The number one scholar is a piece of shit that everyone wants

Chapter 32: The thief within is hard to guard against

At this moment, there was another rapid knock on the door of Qian Lizheng's house in Daliu Village.

Qian Lizheng was getting dressed while he was cursing and muttering, "There's really no peace in this day!"

It turned out that someone took advantage of the fact that Ye Fanxing took Song Haoming to the town to see a doctor for his legs today, and knowing that they would not be back tonight, decided to steal food that night.

The three men covered their faces and swaggered into the Song family. They moved out all the grain that Ye Fanxing had previously moved from the Ye family from the warehouse.

Of course, the thieves didn't leave empty-handed. They also searched the house and took all the valuable things they thought were valuable and moved them to the car.

When Zao Ge'er next door got up at night, he heard some noise in Song Haoming's yard. He thought Ye Fanxing had returned, so he asked.

Zao Ge'er waited for a while, and when no one answered, he heard a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps, and hurriedly called Ye Yushan out.

These three people acted on impulse and did not want to make a big deal out of it, so when Zao Ge'er asked them questions, they were scared out of their wits.

Hearing Zao Ge'er calling for help, the three of them hurriedly pushed one of the carts of food and ran away quickly.

The neighbors around heard Zao Ge'er's cry and ran over. When they arrived, they saw the messy things on the ground and knew that there was a thief in the Song family.

When Qian Lizheng followed Ye Yushan who was knocking on the door, he saw that Song Haoming's house was in a mess. There was also a cart full of various sundries that had not been taken away in the panic after being discovered by Zao Ge'er.

Although their Daliu Village was a poor place, such theft had never happened since the establishment of the village. This simply showed that they did not take him, the head of the village, and Daxi Village seriously.

"Young and strong people in the village, block all the intersections in the village. The rest of you, follow the wheel tracks with me. I want to see where they can hide!"

At Qian Lizheng's command, the Dalui Village suddenly became lively, with dogs barking and fire everywhere.

"Brother-in-law, please say something. What should we do now?" The person who spoke was Xu Yingdi's younger brother, Xu Dabao.

He came to Daliushan today, intending to blackmail Ye Laosan because of the matter concerning his father Xu Laonian.

As a result, he listened to Ye Lao San's various complaints, saying that Ye Fanxing was his brother and the Song family's grain belonged to him...

After all this, no one knew how he agreed to let Ye Laosan use the Song family's grain to compensate his own family.

When they were escaping from the Song family, they were delayed for some time because they were pushing a cart of food, and now they are still trapped in the village.

They didn't expect people to come so quickly, and Xu Dabao and Er Gouzi immediately became anxious.

"Ye Lao San, we are now tied together, no one can escape."

"Er Gouzi! How can you talk like that?"

"How can I say that, Ye Lao San, don't forget that it was you who told us that the Song family had food, and it was you who told us that no one from the Song family would be there tonight."

If they continue like this, they will definitely be caught. Ye Laosan is from this village, and the theft happened in his son-in-law's house. When he opens his mouth, the crime may fall on them.

If they continue like this, they will definitely be caught red-handed. The third uncle of the Ye family is from the same village and is his son-in-law. When he opens his mouth, it might be their fault.

The lightest punishment for them was just a beating and a lecture by the people of Daliu Village; the most serious punishment was that they were taken to the government office and would have to spend several years in jail.

"Brother-in-law, it's dark here. Zao Ge'er just heard some noises. He didn't see our faces. Let's go to your house tonight to avoid the limelight. We will leave when it's daybreak." Xu Dabao suggested.

"This is the only way now. Let's go to my house." While the villagers were not paying attention, Ye Laosan took Xu Dabao and Er Gouzi and ran to his home.

Xu Yingdi was awakened and went out to see Ye Laosan, Xu Dabao, and Er Gouzi standing at the gate of the yard. Hearing the noise of dogs barking and quarreling in the village, she immediately realized that what happened in the village must be related to her family.

"Dabao, Lao San, what are you doing?"

As she spoke, she quickly let Ye Laosan and the others in. She carefully checked the gate again to make sure it was closed.

"Watch your mouth, don't let it get out of hand.

"Also, remember, none of us went out tonight, so let Dabao and Ergouzi sleep directly in Wencai's room."

"well."

Xu Yingdi was afraid that something might happen between Xu Dabao and Ye Sanye, so she could only nod her head submissively and dared not say a word.

The villagers held torches and followed the traces of the wheels, finally arriving at Ye Laosan's doorstep and immediately started talking.

"I was wondering why I didn't see Ye Laosan and his wife tonight. It turns out that the thief is from their family?" said a villager with sudden realization.

"Why did you come out? Are you here to play thief crying thief with us?"

"The matter between Ye Lao San and Xing Ge'er is really a family affair that is difficult for an honest official to judge."

"If you ask me, it takes two to tango. Even if Ye Lao San stole the grain, it can't be blamed entirely on him."

No matter what the villagers said, since the thief came from this village, Qian Lizheng would not tolerate it.

If you want Ye Laosan to behave himself, you must first find the cart carrying the grain. Otherwise, given Ye Laosan's rogue nature, he will argue even if he is not right.

Thinking of this, Qian Lizheng came out from behind the crowd and asked someone to knock on the door.

boom! boom! boom!

"Who is it? Let's talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."

So many things had happened in the past two days that she hadn't dared to close her eyes. When someone knocked on the door, she tensed up.

"It's me, the third brother. Open the door quickly, or we will come in directly."

When Xu Yingdi heard that it was Qian Lizheng, she immediately became anxious. The three people in Ye Wencai's room also looked anxious. Now they couldn't leave even if they wanted to, as the door was surrounded by onlookers.

"Quick, climb the wall from the back."

Xu Dabao and Er Gouzi, who were frightened at the moment, jumped out of the window immediately after hearing Ye Laosan's words and ran towards the backyard wall.

With a creak, the courtyard door slowly opened a crack from the inside to the outside, revealing Xu Yingdi's head.

I saw several young men in the village holding torches and following the head of the village. They looked aggressive and it was obvious that they wanted to catch the thief and seize the stolen goods.

Seeing this, Xu Yingdi stammered, "Village head, why are you all here so late at night?"

Xu Yingdi's eyes flickered and her expression was flustered. While she was talking, she looked back from time to time, as if she was confirming something.

The village head and others also noticed her actions, and without being polite, they asked directly: "Where is Ye Lao San? Call him over."
