Chapter 88: Who is the fourth sister-in-law?
Zhou Ze paused, but he didn't expect Xiaobai to like reasoning now.
"Yes, this possibility cannot be ruled out. If this is the case, it may be even more difficult to find evidence. The Li family now hopes to put Li Silang in peace as soon as possible. After all, it has been salvaged for nearly a month since the fishing of the river, and they are both physically and mentally exhausted.
If it were Wang Shier, his acting skills would have reached the pinnacle. After all, when I was telling the whole process before, I was so sincere and righteous, and I still spoke for Li Silang."
Xiaobai jumped on Zhou Ze's arm, raised his claws and covered his eyes.
"It's so annoying if you don't think about it. Let's go and make small crispy meat. Maybe after eating, the evidence will come by myself."
Zhou Ze rubbed Xiaobai's fur and smiled and left the room.
At 10:00 p.m., Xue Ping is back.
Xue Ping didn't dislike the three treasures. A meal of wind swept the clouds to fill their stomachs. He rinsed his mouth and said quickly:
"The subordinates have investigated the surrounding villages one by one, but no one has seen this fortune teller. There are a few women in Lijiazhuang who have heard the fortune teller shouting, and they are only in front of the Li family."
Zhou Ze said oh.
I didn't expect Xue Ping to find out anything, but there was a lot of information here.
"I have never been around, I just went to Lijiazhuang and shouted back and forth in front of the Lijiamen. The purpose is very clear!"
Xue Ping nodded.
"The subordinates also think so. As for the Jiang'an people mentioned by this person, it is probably fake. Could it be that someone who is interested deliberately found such a person and asked him to destroy the marriage?"
Zhou Ze pondered for a while and said that someone must have done this on purpose, but who was it?
Who wants to destroy the Li family’s marriage?
The betrothal gift has been given, and the wedding date is approaching. The Li family and friends know that their family is going to hold a marriage. Could it be that the Li family originally had some enemies?
"Who has the Li family offended? Especially in Lijiazhuang, is there anyone with a bad relationship with the Li family, having disputes or grudges?"
Xue Ping shook his head and sighed and said:
"I thought of this, so I asked many people. Li's family style was very good. Li's mother was a Buddhist and made good friends in the village. Whenever I asked Li's mother, I could help her. It was really rare in Hejiang.
When we investigated, all the people asked were very enthusiastic and careful. From this point, we can see that the Li family has no enemies."
"Have Li Silang had an engagement before?"
"No, the matchmaker has come to the house several times, but Li's mother did not agree, saying that it depends on whether Li Silang likes it."
Zhou Ze nodded. From Li’s mother’s attitude towards Wang Cuier, she was really enlightened. Such self-reliance in such an era is really rare.
"Okay, it's too late today. You can go back and rest first. As for this case, I'll talk about it tomorrow. I'll go to Wangjiazhuang to ask if this Wang Cuier has ever discussed the marriage."
"Here."
Xue Ping bowed.
As soon as Xue Ping went out, Old Xu came in, changed into a black robe, and stood in front of Zhou Ze with a horizontal knife in his arms.
“When will you set out?”
Zhou Ze coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment. This guy is not stupid. He got up and put on a black cloak. He is not afraid of the cold. He should wear more clothes, otherwise he will really not be able to stand the cold wind blowing wildly.
"Then let's go."
Xiaobai jumped to Zhou Ze's shoulder and looked at Lao Xu.
"When you were having a meal, you didn't say what you found. Where are you going now? How do you two play puzzles?"
Old Xu raised his chin at Zhou Ze.
"Why don't you ask him, why don't you ask me about following Wang Shier?"
Xiaobai glanced at him.
"I won't tell you even if you ask. You two are just mysterious. Tell me what's going on!"
Zhou Ze rubbed Xiaobai's head. This guy is very gossipy now.
"Okay, let me tell you. Lao Xu will have a meal when he comes back. If he finds something, he will take the initiative to say it without asking me. But it shows that there is nothing to gain during this trip.
Wang Shier left the county government and must have not come out of the Li family. After all, Li Silang's body was found and he needed to discuss the burial matter. It happened that I also wanted to see the situation of the Li family, so I went together now."
Old Xu glanced at Zhou Ze.
"Let's go!"
As he said that, he picked up Zhou Ze's belt, went out of the door, and moved around for a while, and arrived at the roof of the Li family's outer courtyard in a short while.
This speed is really much faster than a carriage, and Zhou Ze obviously feels that Lao Xu's body has recovered a lot, and he moves more relaxed and more freely than when he went to the Zhang family before.
As soon as it fell down, a door opened and there seemed to be a lot of people inside. Li Wulang and Wang Shier came out of the room, and Wang Shier patted Li Wulang's shoulder.
"You don't have to send it away. I'll take a step first. There are many things to arrange tomorrow. I'll explain to my family and come here to help you handle it tomorrow."
Li Wulang acted as if he was about to kneel down, but Wang Shier grabbed his arm.
"There is no need to give me this kind of gift. Your fourth brother is gone. I am also your brother. I also treat you as my younger brother. It's good to have a brother of a different surname, get up quickly!"
Li Wulang wiped his face and said with a sob:
"If the fourth brother is here, if I don't send my brother, he will kick me. Let's go, or send you out. I don't know if there is still a ferry on the shore."
"There is a ferry. I have made an appointment, but I will get something first."
"I'll accompany you!"
Li Wulang nodded, as if he knew what Wang Shier meant. He took a lantern tacitly, carried a bag, and the two walked directly outside the door.
Instead of going on the main road, I went to a forest on the north side of Lijiazhuang.
Old Xu poked Zhou Ze.
"Didn't you say that Zhujiang, why did you go to the forest? Are we following?"
"Follow and have a look."
Old Xu didn't say nonsense, picked up Zhou Ze and followed directly behind. The distance was not far but above the two of them, so it was completely impossible to detect.
After walking not far, I came to an ancient tree. The tree was very thick and there was no vegetation around it.
Wang Shier held up the lantern, and Li Wulang worked hard to dig the soil under the tree roots. He was very inexperienced with one shovel at a time. Xiaobai came to Zhou Ze's ear.
"What's this for?"
Zhou Ze shook his head, he didn't know what these two were doing.
After waiting for a while, half a jar appeared on the ground. Wang Shier opened the jar and found two envelopes, and then opened the bag, which contained paper money.
Xiaobai was a little anxious and looked at Zhou Ze.
"It seems to be burning too. Don't you go and see what that is?"
Zhou Ze shook his head.
"No, it seems to be two letters, perhaps a childhood vision. Li Silang's body was found and he would be buried later. These things should not be kept, after all, that's hope."
The little white tendons and nose are skeptical about this explanation.
"It's so troublesome to be a human being, so there are so many hopes."
As he was talking, Old Xu poked Zhou Ze and raised his chin to the distance of the woods.
"Look there!"
Zhou Ze looked over and saw a grayish-white figure floating from a distance, and the hat on his head was particularly conspicuous.
It seems that what I guessed before should be correct. This is Li Silang's ghost. I don't know if it was because of burning paper money or if he was wandering around here for nothing.
Li Silang's figure floated and came close to him. He seemed very scared of the fire on the ground, but he just walked around Wang Shier's side, and his face seemed a little excited.
He kept shaking his arms, slapping Wang Shier's shoulders, and even shaking them hard, but his arms directly passed through Wang Shier's body.
"Wang Liuliu, Wang Shier! Liuliu, can't you see me?"
He tried over and over again until the fire burned out, and Li Silang stopped shouting and stared at Wang Shier and Li Wulang with a confused look on his face.
Wang Shier sneezes and tightens the cloak on his body, as if he feels cold. He holds Li Wulang on the ground and gets up, throws the envelope into the fire, and exclaims that the flames are a little brighter, and everything turns into ashes.
"Okay, don't be sad. If you burn your trust, he will at least see it. Your fourth brother's wish is fulfilled and you can set off with peace of mind. Your three brothers will come back tomorrow. Your mother and fourth sister-in-law need you to take care of you. Say sad."
Li Wulang stood up and sniffed hard.
"I know that my fourth brother likes my fourth sister-in-law so much. I will take good care of her for the rest of her life. Let's go!"
Li Silang stopped and tilted his head to look at Li Wulang, as if thinking about what he said, muttering to himself while muttering, while covering his head.
"Fourth sister-in-law? Who is the fourth sister-in-law? Fourth sister-in-law... Fourth sister-in-law..."
