Chapter 175

According to the hunter, there were ten people in Niushan Village with marks on their hands, six of whom were scars left by injuries during normal work, and in terms of age, it was not very consistent with the person Shu Ying and the others were looking for.

Among the four remaining people, two had birthmarks on their wrists. One of them was of the same age, but his birthmark was red, not the blue mark they were looking for; while the other was only eight years old and was still a child.

After this, only two people were left.

These two are two brothers. The younger brother only separated and got married last year, while the older brother had already brought his son and was raising his parents at home.

The two brothers' surname is Zhang, the elder brother is Zhang Dashan, and the younger brother is Zhang Xiaoshan. When the two brothers were born, the backs of their hands were connected together. After giving birth, they invited the most respected old man in the village to personally take the dagger after the sacrifice to cut the flesh and then separate. It was because of this that the backs of the two brothers' hands were a bit inappropriate in handling the wound. A green mark as big as a cup was left on the backs of the hands of the left and right hands, and everyone in Niushan Village knew about it.

The two brothers of the Zhang family each have their own fields to cultivate. In the impression of the villagers, they are all honest farmers, but they have nothing to do with the hunter.

But Shu Ying was unwilling to give up. After receiving the news, he thanked the old hunter and followed the yamen runners to Zhang Xiaoshan's home.

This mark on the back of Xiaoshan's hand is on the right hand. It is easy to show when you have to take things or do things, which is exactly the same as the waiter in the inn.

Zhang Xiaoshan's home is located on a hillside northeast of Niushan Village. There is a piece of fields and bamboo forest in front of the house, and behind the house is the back mountain forest of the village. It is extremely easy to go up the mountain on weekdays.

The yamen runner with a fair face walked a few steps and walked into the courtyard with his men. He shouted in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiaoshan, can you be at home?"

"Who?" A woman frowned and walked out of the main house gate when she suddenly saw so many people appear. She was shocked. She hesitated and stopped by the door, and asked in a trembling voice: "What are you...what are you going to do?"

"Is this Zhang Xiaoshan's home?" the yamen runner asked again.

"Yes...what are you looking for my husband?" The woman climbed the door frame, looking at the people in front of her with weak legs, and tears began to roam in her eyes: "My husband is just an ordinary farmer...hasn't he done anything?"

"You have the final say whether you do it or not! What about Zhang Xiaoshan? Call him out!" The yamen runner roared with a serious expression, raised his foot and walked into the house.

"I...my husband went up the mountain...not at home!!" The young woman was so scared that she collapsed on the ground, sobbing and began to cry: "He is not at home...not at home..."

The yamen runner glanced at the young woman, took the man and walked over to her, broke into the room, and began to search everywhere.

"Ahhhhh..." The young woman seemed to have realized what was going on. She quickly turned her head and looked into the house. She screamed immediately. She didn't know where the strength came from. She stood up and rushed into the direction of the house. She rushed to a yamen runner who was searching for a cabinet and grabbed his arm, "You can't move my things randomly! You can't move my things randomly..."

"Get out!" The yamen runner looked impatient and waved his hand and pushed the young woman to the ground. He pulled open the cabinet and found a wooden box. Then he opened the box and saw a few exquisite jewelry that didn't look like this woman could use.

"Boss, find a few jewelry!" The yamen runner immediately shouted, closed the box and walked out of the house.

Seeing this, the young woman screamed and hugged the legs of the yamen runner: "That is my jewelry, that is my jewelry!! You can't take it away! You can't take it away!"

"Get out! It's not up to you to decide whether it's your jewelry!" The yamen runner kicked the young woman away, hurriedly ran out of the house with his chest in his arms, and sent the box to Ji Yang: "Sir, find a box of jewelry, it doesn't look like it can be used by that woman."

Ji Yang nodded and took the box into his hand, opened it and handed it to Shu Yan.

The box contained a golden hairpin with phoenix patterns, a pair of silver-wrapped hairpin rings, three purple gems inlaid with pearl flowers, a pair of red gold earrings decorated with rubies, and a pair of round and jade-like white-fat jade bracelets, and some scattered small ornaments of clothes and decorations piled up in the box.

The young woman rushed out of the room with a pale face, screamed and rushed towards the direction of the box: "That's my thing! That's my thing..."

A yamen runner held the young woman with a expressionless face, and pushed her to the ground and kneeled, while yelling, "Your things? Are you really yours? You can use such things like this? You are not afraid of losing your whole family's life! I will tell you, stay honestly, wait until we find out the situation, and then I will send you to the yamen and let the magistrate give it to you!!"

"Nonsense! You nonsense! That's all my things! It's all my things! It's something my husband gave me!!" The young woman screamed wildly, staring at the box with her eyes.

"I'll find Zhang Xiaoshan, so I can't let you run away!" Ji Yang suddenly thought of something, and directly ordered the yamen runner with a fair face, and then said to Chen Wu and the others: "You can also find them together, and catch them back!"

Chen Wu nodded and immediately searched for the woman and asked about Zhang Xiaoshan's whereabouts, and then took her up the mountain from behind the house.

Ji Yang looked at Shu Ying holding the box in his hand, and flipped through the jewelry inside one by one with his face tightened. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Miss, do you recognize these things?"

"Recognize it!" Shu Yan nodded, with a faint ray of tears in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I recognize both the earrings and the beads..."

"Then we didn't find the wrong person!" Ji Yang breathed a sigh of relief, raised his chin and looked at the yard, and then said, "Then we will wait here. As long as we find that Zhang Xiaoshan, I believe we can find the person the lady is looking for! Miss, don't worry..."

Don't worry? How is that possible?
