Create a home with a system

Chapter 19
"I can't control that much. Today your second uncle took your uncle and uncle to the county government to do the road guide. If it can be done, we will leave in two days. If you can't take these things away, you can stay here. It’s cheaper for those beetles.”

Tang Junsheng gritted his teeth, threw the things under the eaves for shelter from the wind and rain, clapped his hands, and then looked around, "Where's that brat Ah Zhong? He hasn't come back yet?"

Seeing that Tang Junsheng had a tendency to get angry, Tangning hurriedly explained for Tang Zhong, "I'm back, I've already eaten and went to sleep."

Tang Junsheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed and cursed: "This brat is heartless."

"Okay, it's fine if the child comes back. Let's hurry up and dry these grains. We can harvest as much as we can." Jiang made jokes, fearing that Tang Junsheng would pursue Tang Zhong's crazy play. After giving birth, she felt distressed.

"You just get used to him!" Tang Junsheng babbled, but didn't say anything else.

Tangning also joined the work queue, working with her parents until late at night before going back to lie down.

Tang Zhong didn't sleep well this time. He started to have all kinds of horrible nightmares after falling asleep. Coupled with the sound of Tang Ning and the others working in the yard, it seemed as if they were making music for his dream. It was not clear whether it was true or false, so he was startled awake before dawn.

A person sat on the bed in a daze, the doors and windows were closed, the room was pitch black, and the sound of Tang Zheng's even breathing could be heard beside him, perhaps because he moved too much, Tang Zheng turned over and continued to sleep deeply.

Only then did Tang Zhong wake up, let out a long sigh of relief, and tiptoed up to open the door. He had to ask his eldest sister about the dagger, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to sleep soundly.

In the end, when he walked into the yard, he realized that it was still dark and the surroundings were quiet. The eldest sister’s room was next to his parents. If he knocked on the door, his parents would definitely be alarmed, and he would not be able to explain clearly. .

Helpless, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and go back to lie down with his eyes open until dawn. He didn't get up until the sound of the door opening outside, and went to knock on Tangning's room openly.

Jiang poked his head out from the stove, and stopped him in a low voice: "Don't bother your sister, she worked late last night."

Tang Zhong shook his hand, and put it away obediently, thinking that Tang Ning had made an excuse to get rid of the dagger last night, so he didn't ask any further questions. He jumped up and down happily, circling around in the yard.

When the sun rose, a group of people came from outside the Tang family, and the leader was Li Mu.

Li Mu brought a group of people into the courtyard of the Tang family without any reason. Tang Junsheng worked very late last night and woke up late today. Seeing this posture, he hurried forward and asked nervously: "Why did the second son bring so many people here?" ?”

Seeing that Tang Junsheng's family was nervous, Li Mu smiled and comforted him: "As a matter of routine, count the ironware in every household. You should cooperate. You can collect the valuables first. The yamen will go in and look at them later, and you won't rummage around. rest assured."

Tang Junsheng's expression immediately softened when he heard that he was counting the ironware, but Tang Zhong became nervous and gave Tangning winks several times.

Tangning seemed to have sensed something, and turned her head to glance at him calmly.

Although she didn't say anything, Tang Zhong was inexplicably at ease and no longer anxious.

The government servants behind Li Mu began to act after Jiang entered the room. First they went to the stove house, then to the firewood room, then to the main room and the room where the three children slept, and finally to Jiang's main house.

Relying on her small size and the tolerance of the adults, Tang Ning insisted on following the clerk into the room. Not only did they open all the wardrobe drawers in Jiang's room, they even opened the small boxes that might contain ironware, and some things wrapped in cloth They didn't open it to look at it, but squeezed everything, including the gaps on the beams and the wall under the bed.

This careful attention made Tangning's scalp tingle. Fortunately, she had a storage space, otherwise the family would have to confess today.

A group of yamen servants finished their inventory and went to the yard to report to Li Muhui: "My lord, this household has a kitchen knife with a corner missing, a firewood knife, an axe, a long-handled hoe, and a short-handled hoe. , a sickle, an iron pot, in addition to a sawtooth, two carving knives, a plane, and two sewing needles."

Li Mu watched the clerks around him record everything in the book, and then asked, "Are there any omissions?"

"No." The leader of the yamen said affirmatively that they had searched the Tang's house inside and out, and they were only three feet away from digging the ground. The matter of burying the pit.

Li Mu nodded, and spoke with Tang Junsheng in a more gentle tone, explaining: "It's not that a murder case just happened nearby, the mayor reported the situation to the county government, and the county magistrate wants to investigate the matter thoroughly, so Every household must be checked carefully, as long as you have nothing to do with this matter, don’t worry, without further ado, we’re going to the next one.”

Tang Junsheng didn't ask any more questions, and obediently sent the person out of the yard. After watching the crowd walk away, he closed the door with a bang and tied it with wooden pegs.

Jiang muttered worriedly, "Master, do you think they are looking for something?"

In the past, iron wares were inspected several times a year, and people usually just walked around. Not only did they open the wardrobe, but even the drawers and small boxes were left open, and even the beams and the bottom of the bed were overturned. .

Thinking of what Tang Juncai said, Tang Junsheng's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice, "I guess they may be looking for the murderer and the murder weapon. I don't know if they can find it this way."

As he spoke, Tang Junsheng looked in the direction of Dashan, not noticing his youngest son's pale face at all.

Tangning quietly pulled Tang Zhong, motioning him to follow her into the house.

The siblings went back to the room and closed the door, Tang Zhong immediately jumped up, lowered his voice and asked anxiously: "Sister, where did you get that thing?"

Tangning pushed the man down and made a "shh" motion, "Keep your voice down, don't yell around, don't worry, you won't see that thing again, and I'll take care of the wild fruits we picked Now, don’t worry, I didn’t throw it away, I told people that it’s an exchange for food, and I’ll pick it up after two days after the wind has passed.”

"Who?" Tang Zhong almost died of curiosity.

Tangning refused to say more, and directly pushed the man out of the room, letting him in just to have a look at the situation inside and to calm his mind.

Cha Tieqi's panic hadn't passed yet, and Boss Tang and the others had already returned from the county seat.

As soon as Tang Laosi entered the room, he said: "Second brother, pack up quickly, we have to leave quickly, we may not even be able to leave the town if we are late."

"What happened again?" Tang Junsheng asked in a panic, the string in his head was about to snap.

Boss Tang looked solemn, "It's not about Li Sanhe and Liuzi. Now the county magistrate has issued an order to turn our town upside down and catch the murderer. It is estimated that the town will be sealed soon and won't let you leave. gone."
