In Xiaozhang Village, Baiye County, Yangzhou Prefecture, in the evening, several children in the village were playing in the woods in the village. At this time, several children climbed onto the trees to catch birds. Suddenly, a child pointed to a house next to the woods and shouted: "Come up and see, why is Mrs. Li lying in the yard?"

When the other children heard this, they climbed up to the trees to check. After they climbed onto the trees, they saw Widow Li in the village lying in the yard of their homes, with blood beside them. It seemed that the person had already died, and the soil around the body was dyed red with blood."

Seeing this, several children hurriedly came down from the tree, ran home, and told their parents what they had just seen. After hearing the children's narrative, these parents did not dare to neglect them.

First, they reported the matter to the village chief Zhang Laoshi, and then everyone, led by Zhang Laoshi, came to Widow Li's home. Everyone shouted at the door and saw that no one answered, so Zhang Laoshi asked someone to kick open the yard door.

When the gate of the courtyard was kicked open, the villagers saw that Widow Li was indeed dead in his yard. Wang Dadan from the village saw this scene and wanted to go forward to see how Widow Li died?

Seeing Wang Dabing wanting to go up and look at Widow Li's body, Zhang Laoshi hurriedly scolded him: "Wang Dabing, what are you doing? Don't touch her body, what if the scene is damaged? Let's report to the official immediately and ask the county magistrate Du to send someone to investigate the case."

Liu Hua, who had been traveling around Taolin Lane in the western suburbs of Yangzhou Prefecture, finally returned to the Wu House, which he had been thinking about day and night. He kept calculating the decoration progress on the road, imagining what the Wu House would look like after so many days of repairs?

At noon that day, Liu Hua held a green onion in his left hand and a steamed bun in his right hand. He ate a bite of steamed bun and then took a bite of green onion in his mouth. He looked at Wu Zhai in front of him without blinking. When the steamed bun was about the same, he slapped the green onion in his hand on the table next to him, and then came to Sun Shidong in front of him, pinching Sun Shidong's neck with both hands.

"You damn Sun Shidong, honestly tell me how much money did you embezzle me? When I left, I personally handed you five hundred taels of silver, asking you to hand over the money to Rumu, and then stared at the decoration.

But, can you explain to me why so many days have passed and I have returned from another place, why is it like this before and now? I haven’t even changed my hair for so long?

No, it wasn't any change at all. I looked carefully and found that there were still some changes around me. For example, I just bought a brocade silk gown on you. And the pair of cloud brocade embroidered boots on your feet should not be long.

Yeah... I didn't see it just now, but now I realize that your trousers have also been replaced. Look, this craftsmanship should be from a craftsmanship, right? It's not bad. The materials are all high-quality silk, and they all come with embroidery.

The most obvious change is that you have gained a lot of weight than before, and you have obviously increased several pounds of pork belly. It seems that the food has been good recently, but Sun, please tell me where did you get the money to buy these things? How much is left for my money to decorate the house?”

Sun Shidong was almost dying when he was pinched by Liu Hua. When he saw Liu Hua's more angry and more ruthless as he said, he had to spread Liu Hua's hands hard, and then said with a flattering look: "Brother Liu, calm."

"Calm down? I'm calming down your sister. Seeing that the house has not changed at all, I guessed that you must have done all my money, otherwise you would have changed the gate of this courtyard first."

After saying this, Liu Hua calmed down and looked at the weeds in front of Wu's house. His fire suddenly appeared: "Look, let alone changing the door, even the grass in front of the door has not changed. You can pull out the weeds in front of the door without any trouble."

"Stop pinching, listen to my explanation." Seeing Liu Hua stop pinching people, Sun Shidong said embarrassedly: "You have just left for a day, but the girl Linan suddenly came. In order not to lose her value, I used the money you used to decorate the house and bought a piece of clothing.

Don't look at me with that look. I didn't spend all the money, I'll give you some left. I just used some of the money to buy clothes and invite Miss Linan to have a few meals."

After hearing this, Liu Hua finally felt a little better: "You guy is still a little conscience and didn't spend all your brother's fortunes. Tell me, how much money is left?"

When he heard Liu Hua ask this question, Sun Shidong scratched his head, looked at Liu Hua carefully, then smiled dryly and slapped him: "Five taels of silver."

"I#§◎△#..." When he heard that the five hundred taels of silver were left by Sun Shidonghua, Liu Hua directly started to curse. After cursing for a few words, Liu Hua felt unhappy and pulled out his sword from Sun Shidong, then waved his sword and chopped it towards Sun Shidong.

"Don't be so excited. It's troublesome to cut people. The money is not spent in vain. I'll get you a business."

After explaining this, Sun Shidong saw that the sword in Liu Hua was not as fierce as before, so he continued, "That's right, that girl Linan came to ask you to solve the case. She said that as long as you can help her family solve a mystery, she will pay to help you repair the house.

I saw that she was a big customer. In order to help you with this matter, she used the money to treat the other party. But I didn't expect that the girl was too particular about eating and accommodation.

Just talking about eating, she not only eats expensive food, but also eats good foods. She spent more than 100 taels of silver in two meals. Two days later, I saw that I really couldn't afford to support her, so I asked her to leave an address, so I bought her a carriage and asked her to go back to the capital. I told her that when you come back, I will go directly to the capital to find her.

Brother, I have tried my best, you don’t know how reluctant I felt when I sent Miss Linan back. If I hadn’t saved you some money, I would have kept her for two days. Besides, wouldn’t I give you the remaining five taels of silver? Be content, the remaining five taels are better than the remaining one, right?”

"Oh? Look at the bodyguard around that girl, her identity should not be simple. What problems can't be solved by a person like her? Beijing? It's a place where dragons and tigers are hidden."

After saying this in confusion, Liu Hua saw that things had come to this point and said nothing was useless. After glaring at Sun Shidong fiercely, he put the sword in his hand aside.

"Oh... I can't bear to eat a piece of meat along the way. Apart from green onions, I chew onions, I chew onions, but I chew onions. I didn't expect that, saving money, waiting for the holes, and I lost all my life in your hands. It seems that I can't let you take care of the money in the future."

After complaining, Liu Hua casually asked Sun Shidong: "Is there anything new happening in Yangzhou Prefecture these days after I left?"

Seeing that Liu Hua was not holding him accountable, Sun Shidong finally breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing Liu Hua's inquiry, he thought for a moment and replied: "There is nothing to do when Yangzhou Prefecture is here.
