LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 65 Buying a Farm
Xuanfeng didn't expect that Mr. Luo was so arrogant, but he also knew that he couldn't argue with this man, so he could only say politely: "Then please go to the place where the crime occurred. My wife is still waiting for your help to find out the truth." Woolen cloth!"
Luo Yecheng snorted disdainfully, "A few chickens have died, so why worry! Besides, whoever raises chickens doesn't have a few dead chickens? How come they must have been poisoned when they arrived at your house!"
Xuanfeng secretly clenched his fists and said patiently: "Master Luo, the number of dead chickens in our family is not just a few, but more than two hundred!" He grabbed some broken silver from his arms and put it in Luo Yecheng's hand. "It's just a small thing. I invite you all to have tea, but it's still hard for you all. How about you come with me for a while and drink tea when you come back?"
Luo Yecheng weighed the broken pieces in his hand, and suddenly smiled, "It's easy to talk about, more than two hundred chickens, it is indeed a big case, we should investigate the case first!"
Xuanfeng watched him put the broken silver into his pocket, with a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, problems that money can solve are not problems! He has seen many officials like Luo Yecheng. Although this kind of official has a small official position, he has real power in his hands. He is like a difficult kid who likes to make things difficult for those who ask him to do things! But as long as you give him enough benefits, he can solve the problem for you!
Sure enough, Luo Yecheng got the benefit and immediately got on the sedan chair and asked people to rush to Xishan Village. Half an hour later, he appeared at the breeding farm on the first day of Yuanchu.
Zuo Zuo examined dozens of dead chickens and saw that they all had the same death state, and finally concluded that they were all poisoned by arsenic.
Luo Yecheng's face was a bit ugly. He didn't expect that a village woman could accurately determine the cause of death of these chickens. Why didn't he believe what the boy said just now? He took the opportunity to check the arsenic sales in the medical shop!
Since the water tank was right under the fence of the farm, he and his people found several footprints on the outside of the fence. These footprints looked a bit small and did not belong to men. They should belong to women or children. After finding the footprints, he took the people back to the government office on the grounds that it was getting late, saying that he would continue the investigation tomorrow.
"Why is this person like this!" Yun Xuan could tell that Luo Yecheng didn't care about this matter, and Jane was really perfunctory, "You are also a princess, why don't you show him some color!"
Yuan Chuyi smiled and said, "The king of hell is easy to see, but the devil is difficult to deal with! He is an official now, and I respect him three points. If he handles the case so carelessly tomorrow, I will let him go without the prince's intervention!" She looked at him. Xuan Yue, "Since they don't check, we will check it ourselves first. You take people to various drug stores and medical clinics to check it. By the way, go to the government office to find Mr. Liu and tell him that we want to buy one or two hundred acres of fertile land and ask him to take a look. If there is a suitable one somewhere, I will bring someone to help me measure it tomorrow."
Xuan Yue took Xuan Feng and left. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, the Huang brothers and Uncle Yang dug holes together to bury the dead chickens.
"Buried? There are so many of them, wouldn't it be a pity to bury them!" Uncle Yang said, and the Huang brothers also looked reluctant to part with them.
"What are you thinking? These are all poisoned by arsenic. You want to die like them!" Yuan Chuyi wanted to open their heads to see what they were thinking. No matter how much they wanted to eat meat, they couldn't. Looking for death!
The three men had no choice but to dig a big pit and throw more than two hundred chickens into it for landfill. However, on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, they were still worried, fearing that someone would dig out the chickens and take them back to eat and kill people, so they ordered them to order some first. Fire burned them all and then buried them. The smell of burnt meat filled the air over the farm and did not dissipate for a long time.
At dinner time, Xuan Yue and Xuan Feng came back from the city, bringing with them a list of people who had purchased arsenic in the past three months. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I saw that only Huang Yang, Wang Guifen and Lin Yuniang from the village chief's family had purchase records in Xishan Village.
Yunxuan's first suspect was Huang Yang, thinking she was the most likely person to poison her. But on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he noticed that there were also people from Yuanjiawan who bought arsenic on the list.
Yuan Hongjie had just lost a thousand taels of silver to her, so it was not impossible for them to take revenge on her. But the Huang Yang family in the village did have a deep grudge with her, but she didn't think it was possible. Although this person is a shrew and is very good at swearing, she probably doesn't have the guts to poison her! As for Wang Guifen and Lin Yuniang, she felt that she had no grudges against them, and they probably had no reason to cause her such huge losses.
But after all, the investigation of the case did not rely on her inference. This was not her strong point, but Xuan Yue's expertise. She left the matter to Xuan Yue and slept well by herself. She got up early the next morning. Not long after, Chief Liu came with someone and said he would take her to see the land together.
The fertile farmland in Xishan Village is either in the Yuanjiawan area on the other side of the river, or at the foot of the North Mountain on this side of the river, but there is no continuous stretch of nearly a hundred acres of fertile farmland there.
"Mrs. Xiao, the day before yesterday I heard from a friend in the dental shop that there is a businessman named Li in the city. Their family has a farm near the outskirts of the city, with nearly 500 acres. It is full of good farmland, and there are also ready-made tenant farmers. Their family Due to the urgent move to other places, this farm is eager to sell, and the price is easily negotiable. Are you interested in taking a look?" Master Liu said.
The ready-made farm was exactly what Yuanchu wanted, so he immediately went to check it out.
This farm is very close to the city gate, only a few miles away. The land is neatly planned and the farmhouses are well built. Seeing that she really wanted to buy it and that the seller here was also eager to sell, the people from Yahang quoted her the actual price, and finally bought the entire farm for eight hundred taels. Master Liu was also unambiguous and bought it that day. I gave them the title deed.
Let's talk about Luo Yecheng's investigation. He spent nearly a day to find the people who bought arsenic in Xishan Village, and now he is summoning them one by one for questioning. The first person he summoned was Huang Yang, after all, she was the most suspicious.
But when Huang Yang heard that the adult suspected that he had poisoned Yuan Chuyi's chicken, he immediately acted like a shrew and cursed: "It's true that I bought arsenic, but if you say that I poisoned it, I won’t accept that little bitch’s chicken! If it’s me who poisoned her, I will poison all her chickens and pigs to death!”
"You have a deep hatred for the Yuan family?" Luo Yecheng could hear the hatred revealed in her words.
Huang Yang also made no secret of his hatred for Yuan Chuyi and cursed: "She is just a little bitch who doesn't follow the rules of women. She should be taken to Shen Tang! Such a little bitch actually bought my two pieces." Let her son be her servant, let’s see what she can do! Bah!”
Luo Yecheng immediately sneered: "You had the motive of poisoning her chickens, and you even bought the poison! Why don't you get your crime punished quickly!"
"Sir, I only bought a little bit of the arsenic. I used some for the mice in the house, and the rest is at home. If you don't believe me, I'll go get it and show it to you!"
Luo Yecheng immediately sent detectives to follow Huang Yang back to her home, but they searched the entire house but could not find the bottle of arsenic.
