After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 157 Let’s Go and Have a Look

The two of them quietly returned to Yin's house, moved Lai Fu to the end of the bed, and lay down on the bed to close his eyes and rest.

The noise outside in the early morning woke them up.

Xia Wanniang opened her eyes and looked at Lai Fu at the end of the bed. He was nowhere to be seen. She turned around and saw him sticking his head out of the window with his big tail swaying behind him.

Xiao Chiye opened his eyes and turned around to see Xia Wanniang woke up: "It's quite lively outside today."

Xia Wanniang rubbed her eyes and said, "Get up and take a look."

The two changed their clothes and walked out of the room, and saw that there was a lot of noise outside.

When Yin Yuanzhang saw them coming out, he ran over and said, "Master, Madam, was there a theft at the landlord's house yesterday?"

The two pretended to be surprised: "Stolen? What was lost?"

Yin Yuanzhang's eyes were filled with excitement as he spoke: "Everything is lost."

Xiao Chiye looked puzzled: "What are you throwing away?"

Yin Yuanzhang nodded vigorously: "Yes, except for their house, everything else was lost."

Xia Wanniang pretended to be surprised: "Ah!"

Xiao Chiye: "How is this possible? Everything was lost overnight."

Yin Yuanzhang: "Yes, the county magistrate and the yamen runners came today after receiving the report and have already gone to the landowner's house to check on the situation."

Xia Wanniang became interested: "Husband, let's go and take a look."

Xiao Chiye nodded and looked at Yin Yuanzhang: "Why didn't I see your elder brother?"

Yin Yuanzhang looked disgusted and said, "My eldest brother was called away. They said there was a conflict between our family and the landlord's family, so they called him over for questioning."

Before leaving, Xia Wanniang first went to check on Yin Yuanyuan's injuries and changed her medicine.

Yin Yuanyuan looked at her with some concern: "Sister Xiao, will my eldest brother be okay?"

Xia Wanniang: "Your elder brother has never done it, what are you afraid of? Besides, the county magistrate is not a fool, right?"

Yin Yuanyuan felt relieved and smiled at her.

The two went from Yin's house to the landlord's house, where many people were gathered outside.

The head of the agricultural police force was surveying the surrounding environment, but no matter how hard they looked, they could not find any clues.

It would be impossible to transport the Tian family's furniture and the grain in the warehouse without a horse-drawn carriage or an ox-drawn cart, but there was not a single wheel track on the road.

It was as if these things disappeared overnight, leaving no trace at all.

There were no signs of forced entry on all the doors and windows, but this theft was so unbelievable. He had been a detective for so many years and had never seen such a case.

Xu Li looked at the landowner who was covered with a bed sheet and kept sneezing, and frowned: "You said it was Yin Yuanxun who did it? Do you have any evidence?"

"Sir, I... A-choo... I had a conflict with their family yesterday... Who else could it be but him... A-choo, A-choo." The landowner sneezed several times while saying every word.

Xu Li covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and with a look of disgust, he asked the landowner Tian to stand further away, then turned to look at Tian Maosheng: "Village Chief Tian, ​​tell me the truth about what happened yesterday."

Tian Maosheng turned to look at the landlord, not knowing whether he should tell the truth.

Xu Li slammed the table and said, "I am asking you a question. Look at what he is doing. If you dare to hide anything, your position as village chief will be over."

Tian Maosheng was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He dared not hide anything anymore and told everything that happened yesterday in detail.

After Xu Li heard this, he looked at the landowner sharply: "The landowner is so capable, not only do you oppress the people, but you also rob women. Who gave you the courage?"

When the landowner heard this, his legs softened and he knelt down: "Sir, I dare not."

"I dare not. I think you are very brave. I will not settle with you about yesterday's incident for now. Today you said that Yin Yuanxun stole from your house. Do you have any evidence?" Xu Li looked at the landlord kneeling on the ground with a sharp gaze.

The landowner stammered, "No, there is no evidence."

Xu Li: "There is no evidence, are you just framing me?"

The landowner knelt down and took a few steps. "Sir, I only have a grudge against him. What happened yesterday, and our house was robbed that night, who else could it be but him?"

Xu Li looked at Yin Yuanxun: "What were you doing last night?"
