The commotion in the Qi family soon spread to the whole village.

The village chief was extremely unwilling to deal with these troublesome matters, but he could only get dressed and follow Qi Chengzong and others to Qi Nai's room to investigate.

Uncle Li slept very lightly at night. After learning about a series of things that happened in the village, he immediately suspected Wang Tiedan and Zhong Cheng.

The time of committing the crime and the time of their return completely matched.

Thinking about their strange clothes before, he still didn't understand.

As expected, these two boys didn't do anything good when they went out at night. They went to someone's house and pretended to be a ghost, and even stole their money. This was a huge disaster!

The village chief is not someone to be fooled.

He will definitely not believe the rumors of haunting. When the time comes, he will follow the clues left by the Qi family to investigate, and he will definitely find these two people.

What Uncle Li is worried about is not that he will be implicated, but that these two boys are still young. If they are imprisoned, their bright future will be ruined!

No matter what he thought, he couldn't get enough, so he simply went to the guest room to wake up Zhong Cheng and Wang Tietan.

"Uncle Li, what's the matter?"

Zhong Chengcai had just fallen asleep, and now he was woken up. His whole body was exuding a magnetic field that was not easy to mess with.

"You should run away quickly. The matter in the second room of the Qi family has become a big deal. The village chief has also gone to investigate. If you are caught, your life will be ruined.

I know you are not people who are short of money. You may be doing this to get revenge on the old lady of the Qi family.

But it's not worth it. It's not worth putting yourself in injustice just for a moment's pleasure.

Anyway, they haven't searched here yet. You can run away on my donkey cart. Don't go back to Lushui Village in the future. When you get home, be filial to your parents and live your own life in a down-to-earth manner. "

Uncle Li seemed to be instructing his juniors, even though he knew that young people might not be happy to listen to his ideas.

But at this time, he still wanted to say more, even if they could listen a little bit, it would be good.

During the days when Zhong Cheng was at his house, he helped him with a lot of work. With him around, his yard didn't seem so deserted.

He also hoped that Zhong Cheng could completely cure his strange disease and live well.

Everything in Lushui Village, let it become a beautiful memory.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. We can't leave just yet. If we leave, wouldn't it look more like a thief with a guilty conscience?"

Zhong Cheng knew Uncle Li's good intentions, so in order to reassure him, he comforted him for a long time.

After all, Uncle Li was reluctant to let go, so he could only guard the door anxiously, ready to let the two of them run away at any time.

The sky turned white, and the entire Lushui Village became noisy.

The village chief also found it very strange after learning what happened in the second room of the Qi family.

But he didn't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, and was more inclined to believe that there was a thief in the Qi family.

He organized the villagers and searched house to house. Old Mrs. Qi said that she had lost more than 5 taels of silver, which was a huge number.

If such a bold thief appears on his territory, how can he, the village chief, convince the public if he does not catch the thief? I am afraid that the entire villagers of Lushui Village will fall into panic.

"They are coming for a search." Uncle Li was still very nervous.

It was the same thing when I didn't know it before, but now I know it, no matter how I pretend, I can't be as calm as usual.

"It's okay." Zhong Cheng was not afraid anyway, because they didn't find any clues and everything was at Qinan's place. No matter how they searched, they couldn't find any useful clues.

Wang Tiedan was still a little uneasy, "What should I do? I came to the village yesterday to settle accounts with the Qi family. Now I am the biggest suspect.

I still have 4 taels of silver with me. Even if I hide it, the Qi family will still be suspicious of me. "

"Then you find a way to hide it, or don't show your face at all. No one has seen you except us anyway." Zhong Cheng's way of solving the problem was very simple and crude.

But Wang Tiedan was in trouble, "Where can I hide now? I will definitely be caught if I leave the village. I just don't know if there is any tunnel here for me to hide first."

Uncle Li walked back and forth in front of the door, feeling secretly anxious.

Where can I hide it? Those people will search here soon.

The village chief and the others moved very quickly. After searching the house in front of Uncle Li, a group of people arrived in front of Uncle Li's door.

"Li Zizi, come out and open the door. You're not going to town, are you?"

"The village chief will not leave town so early. Besides, today is not a market day. Maybe he is going to take a day off today."

"Li Zizi, open the door!" The village chief searched many houses but found nothing. Now he is feeling a little impatient and does not have a good attitude towards the people around him.

"Come on, come on. Village chief, wait a moment, I'm still getting dressed."

Uncle Li pretended to have just gotten up, and opened the door for them with a disheveled look.

The village chief looked him over and over, and immediately narrowed his eyes when he saw Zhong Cheng behind him.

"Who is he? Isn't he from our Luchui Village?" He pointed directly at Zhong Cheng and asked.

"This is..." Uncle Li was about to say that Zhong Cheng was the person he rescued halfway.

But Zhong Cheng took the lead and said, "I am his godson."

Uncle Li was surprised why Zhong Cheng suddenly started talking nonsense.

Due to the large number of people, he could only keep a straight face and try his best to pretend to be calm and not surprised at all.

"He is indeed my godson. I saved his life before, and he happened to have nowhere to go, so I took him in. From then on, we have been dependent on each other."

Now it was the village chief's turn to be surprised.

"Li Zizi, I can't tell! When did you recognize your godson?"

"But you have been a bachelor for decades. You really should find someone to inherit your Li family's ancestral business. Otherwise, what will you do when you get old?"

Uncle Li ignored these people's words. He had heard these words since he was young, and now he was tired of hearing them, and he couldn't make any waves in his heart.

"Village Chief, why did you come to see me?"

"A thief entered the village and ransacked both rooms of Qi's family. We searched house to house to see if we could recover the money."

"That's it! Then you go in and take a look. I have to go to town to pull people in later. I hope the village chief can search it soon."

"It won't take you too much time." The village chief stopped talking to Uncle Li and led the people in through the door.

They searched room after room, rummaging very quickly.

The main purpose is to detect if there are any abnormalities and to see where it is easy to hide people.

"No."

"Not here either."

"Neither in the backyard."

After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, the village chief led the group of people and rushed to the next house to search.

None of them noticed that there was a person stuck under the wooden board of the donkey cart. Wang Tiedan hid under the fast wooden board in a twisted posture and successfully evaded pursuit.
