Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

The protagonists of this drama have all left, but the people watching the drama around are still discussing it with great interest.

"Did Mr. Wang really kill someone and steal his wife?" A woman stared with wide eyes and murmured in disbelief.

She lived in Yinghua Lane, not far from the small courtyard where Wang Xiucai rented.

So when they heard that their neighbor was a murderer, their faces were filled with fear.

How could a scholar who usually looks gentle and refined kill people without making any noise?

"Who knows? It depends on whether the county government will post a notice tomorrow."

"My home is close to the county government office. I will go to the wall in front of the county government office tomorrow morning to take a look."

The people talked for a while and then dispersed.

The moon is hanging high on the branches, and it is especially bright tonight.

The woman was feeling uneasy as she walked home.

I don’t know if what happened tonight had too much of an impact on her, but she was in a daze the whole way.

Walking entirely by muscle memory.

As she turned and walked into the alley, she suddenly heard a noise coming from the alley.

At this moment she finally came to her senses. Sakura Lane, she was home.

From the depths of the alley came the shouts of acquaintances, mixed with the faint cries of women.

"Quick, dig it all up here!"

"You guys, search the house to see if there's a place where the body could be hidden."

Hearing the sound, the woman quickly walked into the alley and came to the door of the innermost courtyard.

The yard was in a mess at this time. Captain Zhang was leading the yamen runners to dig holes everywhere in the yard rented by Mr. Wang.

There were also ping-pong sounds coming from inside the house.

The lady leaned against the door and looked inside quietly.

A young lady with a gentle appearance was kneeling in the yard, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, which was so pitiful that even she could not bear to see her, not to mention the men.

Unfortunately, the flirting glances were cast at the blind man. The group of yamen runners were busy with the island owner digging a pit and had no time to watch the young lady's crying scene.

The captain looked around but didn't look at her.

Soon, the bailiffs gathered in the middle of the yard.

"Brother Zhang, no, we can't find any place to hide the body, and there is no stench of corpse in this yard."

Although these yamen runners are not coroners, they have handled all kinds of cases over the years.

This is the border, and death is very common, so these older yamen runners have seen and smelled countless corpses.

In other words, in recent years, because of the Yan family, there are very few people starving to death on the roadside.

Otherwise, six or seven years ago in Qingshui County, people could often be seen starving to death on the streets, especially in winter.

The reason why everyone in Qingshui County, from the county magistrate to the constables and runners under them, have 100% trust and respect for the Yan family is that.

So when Yan Nansheng said that the scholar had killed someone, Captain Zhang arrested Scholar Wang without saying a word.

Because he trusted Yan Xiucai's character, he would not slander others casually just because of personal grudges, especially in such a serious case as murder.

Because the bailiffs couldn't find the place where the body was hidden, Captain Zhang was scratching his head in anxiety.

"You watch here, and the others search again, carefully, and don't miss any clues."

He glanced at the charming woman who was still kneeling and crying, "Keep a close eye on this woman. Don't allow anyone to get close to her, let alone pay attention to her."

"I'm going to the Yan family."

The man was a little anxious, "Brother Zhang, it's so late, the people of the Yan family should have gone to bed by now, right?"

"We can't just return empty-handed. You saw the scholar's expression. There must be something fishy going on."

After saying this, Captain Zhang walked out of the yard.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw a woman standing there watching the fun.

"Why aren't you going home so late? What are you doing sneaking around here?"

The woman chuckled, "Sir, is there really a dead body buried here?"

"What are you asking about? Is this something you should be asking about?"

"Go, go, go home quickly."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The woman stepped forward again and stopped Captain Zhang.

"My lord, please don't leave yet. I have something to say."

Captain Zhang stopped walking when he heard this. "What's the matter? Tell me quickly. I'm in a hurry to go to the Yan family."

The woman said quickly, "That's right, sir."

"Some time ago, the male owner of this yard, Mr. Wang, bought a lot of yellow mud for building houses from outside, saying that he wanted to repair the yard."

"But I just observed the yard and it hasn't changed at all."

Captain Zhang was a little surprised. "How do you know what this yard looked like before?"

"Sir, this is our yard. I am the landlord. I renovated this yard before Mr. Wang moved in."

"So I felt strange at the time. Why did they need to renovate such a nice yard? Besides, Mr. Wang bought a lot of things."

"It looks like they're going to build a house."

The more Captain Zhang listened, the more he felt that this woman might be able to help him find the place where the body was hidden, so he decided not to bother the Yan family.

So he took the woman back to the yard.

"Go in and take a closer look to see if there is anything wrong."

The woman obediently turned around.

As soon as the woman entered the gate of the courtyard, the woman on the ground stopped crying, and her eyes, like water, were filled with fear.

Her eyes followed the woman's figure, full of anxiety.

She had just heard the conversation between the two people at the door clearly. This woman was from the landlord's family and she was very familiar with this yard.

What should I do? What if this woman really finds out?

The woman walked around the front yard and found no changes or digging anywhere, so she walked towards the open space behind the house.

Suddenly she cried out in surprise, "Sir, come quickly." Captain Zhang's eyes lit up instantly and he walked quickly towards the backyard.

The woman who was still kneeling on the ground was originally nervous, but now she suddenly lost her strength and collapsed to the ground.

it's over...

Captain Zhang passed by a woman slumped on the ground. Seeing her like this, he knew that they had found the place where the body was hidden!

I felt secretly excited, as I was halfway to accomplishing the mission. As long as I found the body, interrogation would be easy.

Mr. Yan has given himself a great gift!

He walked up to the woman, holding the sword at his waist, and asked, "What did you find?"

"My lord, this was once an open space, but now it has become a pigsty and a place to raise poultry."

"I originally thought that it might be to raise poultry for the convenience of the family, but sir, generally, when a family needs to raise livestock, they raise them from a young age."

"Especially when raising pigs, you have to raise them from a young age so that they can be slaughtered just in time for the Chinese New Year, but his pigs are all adult pigs."

Captain Zhang nodded when he heard this, "That's true."

"What if someone wants to buy it and eat it right away? They just need to keep it for a few days first."

The woman rolled her eyes when she heard that. "Why don't you just buy ready-made ones? You don't have to spend time and effort feeding them every day. When you want to eat them, you need to find someone to kill them. How much trouble!"

"Besides, if we want to eat it right away, why would we need to build a barn and pigsty?"

Captain Zhang glared at the man who was asking the question and said, "Stop wasting time. All of you, go in and search quickly."
