After Zhang Lizheng asked about the whole story, he looked at the little official with a helpless look.

"This is someone's house. They don't want to let it go to waste. Isn't it reasonable to prepare to clean it? Do you have to get the approval of the government to clean your house?"

The clerk retorted: "But there was a murder here!"

Zhang Li asked back and forth, "If it's really a murder case, did your government find out what's wrong?"

The clerk's expression became embarrassed.

"not yet."

Zhang Lizheng: "It's been more than three years, and you still haven't found out at all. Not only do you not feel ashamed, but you are here to embarrass others, do you think it's appropriate?"

The clerk was speechless.

Zhang Lizheng sighed again: "All of Ya's family died in the fire, and now she's the only one left in the Feng family, what a poor girl, your government should raise your hand and let her go, don't disturb other people's lives again. already."

The clerk tried to defend himself.

"That's not what we said. Our original intention is to protect the crime scene so that the government can investigate the case. We never thought of embarrassing anyone."

Zhang Lizheng frowned: "It's not embarrassing, why do you bring so many yamen here? Don't you want to bully a weak female streamer by relying on the crowd?"

The clerk opened his mouth and wanted to continue his defense, but couldn't find a suitable reason.

In the end, he could only rebuke angrily.

"You are deliberately favoring her, you are all in the same group!"

Zhang Lizheng waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go, don't get in the way here. If you think I'm doing a bad job, you can tell the county governor about it, and I'll take care of the consequences."

The little official gritted his teeth: "Okay, since you are determined to protect this little girl, look back and wait for the county governor to be held accountable. How do you explain it?!"

After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, and turned around and left with the yamen.

Yu Weiwei was a little worried: "Grandpa, this won't cause you trouble, will it?"

Zhang Lizheng responded indifferently.

"It's okay, they won't do anything to me. Anyway, I'm already half-dead, so what else is there to be afraid of?"

Yu Weiwei hurriedly said: "Don't say that, you are going to live a hundred years!"

Zhang Lizheng laughed: "By your auspicious words, you can live a hundred years!"

The crowd continued to work until the sun went down.

The entire house has not been cleaned up, and I have searched all the places I can find. Even the soil in the garden has been turned over, but I still can't find the slightest clue.

Yu Weiwei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart.

But she quickly recovered herself. The place was thoroughly searched by officers and soldiers three years ago, and it is normal to find no clues now.

Since no clues can be found here, consider investigating elsewhere.

Zhang Lizheng warmly invited Yu and his party to visit his house.

"It's this time. You should have missed your meal when you return to the city. Why don't you eat at my house, which is not far from here."

Yu Weiwei's heart moved, Zhang Lizheng's house is not far from here, maybe he can find some useful clues from his old man's mouth.

So she readily agreed: "That's great! I haven't eaten your family's food for a long time, so I'll have a real treat tonight."

When they arrived at Zhang Lizheng's house, it was already dark.

Zhang Lizheng's two daughters-in-law learned that there were guests visiting, and they quickly set fire to cook, and a strong smell of food soon wafted from the stove.

Yu Weiwei, Xiao Juan, Luo Pingsha, and Ling Hai were sitting in the main room, and Zhang Lizheng asked his son to serve them hot tea.

They chatted while drinking tea.

Yu Weiwei said some interesting things he encountered in Yujing, which made Zhang Li smile straightly.

Zhang Lizheng said with emotion: "Yujing is indeed a big place, there are so many interesting things."

Yu curling took advantage of the situation and asked, "Although Yujing is good, I still prefer it here. I wonder if anything happened here during the two years I was away? For example, has anyone come to inquire about our family?"

Zhang Lizheng heard the overtones in her words, and knowing that this might be the main reason why she came from home to be a guest, he recalled it carefully.

Yu Weiwei didn't rush, and waited quietly.

Xie's and Feng Lianghan's tombs have been opened, and the buried goods are all there, but only one jade bracelet is missing, and the possibility of tomb robbers is very low.

Thinking of the particularity of the emerald bracelet, Yu Weiwei suspected that the other party came for the bracelet.

And the other party should be sure that the bracelet is in Xie's tomb.

Going to another place, Yu curling assumed that she was the one who wanted to steal the bracelet, and she must have inquired about the location of Xie's mausoleum before doing so.

And that might be a useful clue.

Zhang Lizheng thought for a long time before speaking.

"A year ago, someone did come to inquire about your family's affairs. At that time, everyone in my family went out to do farm work, and there were only me and a few ignorant little babies left at home."

Having said that, he beckoned to the child who was squatting at the door and playing with stones.

"Aniu come here."

The child has a big head, dark skin, and looks very strong.

He stomped on the ground and ran to Zhang Lizheng's side, opened his mouth and called out grandpa.

Zhang Lizheng asked, "Do you still remember a year ago when you said that a grandmother came to our house to ask for water?"

A Niu tilted his head and thought for a while: "Well, remember."

"Then tell this sister carefully about the situation at that time."

Aniu said obediently.

"That day I took my little brother to sweep the floor in the yard.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door, I ran to open it, and found an old woman standing outside the courtyard door.

She said that she came from out of town and traveled a long way. She was very thirsty and wanted to ask me for a bowl of water.

I went back to the stove, scooped up a scoop of water with a gourd and brought it to her.

She thanked me after drinking the water and gave me a straw grasshopper as a thank you gift.

That grasshopper is very well made up, it looks like the real thing, I like it very much, but it was broken by the big brother later..."

Zhang Lizheng interrupted him: "Don't say grasshopper, say that grandma."

A Niu responded angrily, and then returned to the main topic.

"That grandma also asked me about Uncle Feng's house, and she left after asking."

Zhang Lizheng continued his words.

"I didn't even know there was a guest at the house at the time. It wasn't until Anniu got into a fight with the other little dolls over the straw grasshopper that I knew about the grandmother."

A Niu defended in a low voice: "That grandma didn't let me tell others. I promised her, so I had to do what I said."

Zhang Lizheng educated earnestly.

"Keeping your word is the principle of life, but it also depends on the situation. The other party is a stranger you don't know at all. What if the other party is a bad person? What if she wants to plot against our family? You help her. Conservative whereabouts, tantamount to aiding Zhou, which will lead to very bad consequences."

A Niu was frightened, his face turned white: "I, I didn't think about it so much, Grandpa, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore."

"If you encounter a stranger who chats with you in the future, or asks you for something, you must tell your elders immediately, remember?"

A Niu nodded hastily: "I remember!"
