MTL - Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields-Chapter 952 Recruit yourself

"You old godly woman who desperately wants money, here you go!"

The old lady kept asking for money, which annoyed the guard at the gate, and took out the broken silver from her purse with a straight face, and threw it over.

It's not enough to take advantage of it. It's meaningless for this kind of common people to care about it. Officials pay money reluctantly, but they think about it in their hearts. This account is recorded, and they can ask their own adults to report the account later, so they can't pay for nothing.

The official was carrying the old hen, and seeing the old hen's frowning face, he whipped it.

"My dear!"

The old lady covered her chest with her hands, as if she could die at any time.

"Don't worry, the scourge will last for a thousand years!"

The officer glared at the old lady and made her angry. The old lady grabbed a word and shouted, "You young man, can you talk? What is a disaster? My precious lump is my heart! That's called Ji Jizi. There are signs of heaven!"

The two were about to quarrel, Li Haitang was in a hurry, and went out to catch the hen. Just now, all six chickens had eaten. At this moment, nothing unusual was seen.

On the table, there is the last dish, which is a plate of dumplings. There is only one dumpling left.

The old hen thought she was credited with laying eggs and got an extra reward. She clucked twice, lowered her head, lowered her mouth, and pecked at the dumplings in her mouth.

Not long after, before the dumplings were finished, the old hen shook her body and let out a panicked cry, and then fell to the ground and died.

"My baby!"

When the aunt heard that her precious old hen had died, she cried loudly while holding the warm egg in her pocket.

The onlookers ignored the aunt, but had solemn expressions. It seems that the Cao family really died of poisoning from eating dumplings.

The whole family, almost at the same time, fell down on the noisy long street, died of poison, and there was no one left.

Li Haitang took another look at the few dishes on the table. There was no taboo with each other, let alone arsenic. The death of the Cao family was undoubtedly poisoned.

"It's less than two hours."

Zhang Zheng estimated the time, and then walked around the house.

The Cao family has a simple population, and most of their relatives are in the countryside. They don't have much contact with each other on weekdays, but they have a good relationship.

Relatives from the countryside came to the door and occasionally sent some products from the family. Every time they went back, Mrs. Cao would ask the other party to bring some tofu. She never blushed or quarreled.

Knowing that the family of eight had been poisoned to death, the neighbors didn't believe it at all, and stood outside wiping tears, sighing for a while.

Li Haitang looked at the neighbor's expression, the Cao family was well-connected, it didn't seem to be a fake, it was genuine, sincere.

The murder is very simple, it should be a vendetta.

The atmosphere in the house was oppressive. Li Haitang returned to the courtyard. In front of her, Tao Lin, who was engaged to the youngest daughter of the Cao family, shouted desperately, but his eyes did not forget to look inside the room, and his fist was clenched, not like a sore spot, but rather guilty.

The performance is heart-piercing, which is used to cover up the inner anxiety.

It wasn't that she suspected anything. There was a red mark on the side of Tao Lin's neck, which was obviously a hickey mark. The color was fresh and there was no trace of an hour.

The Tao family and the Cao family are getting married, where did Tao Lin get the mark?

"On New Year's Eve, who did the Cao family meet?"

Li Haitang walked to one side and asked about the neighbors.

The relationship between the two families is good, and there is a low wall in the middle, which only reaches the waist. If someone comes from the family, the neighbors will definitely hear the movement.

"Not here, not a single person."

The neighbor was very sure. In the next afternoon, he was still chatting with Father Cao, showing off some of the big dishes prepared at home.

New Year's Eve is a day for family reunion. Visit relatives and friends during the New Year, and stay until the first day of the New Year.

Father Cao cheerfully said that after the year when his daughter gets married, the two families must sit together and have a few drinks.

"Did Father Cao say he ate dumplings?"

Li Haitang asked in a low voice, with Tao Lin behind his back, the suspicion in his heart was getting bigger and bigger.

"Yes, I said to keep it for Shou Sui, but he said it should be early, otherwise the little grandson at home will definitely fall asleep before twelve o'clock."

When the neighbor talked about dumplings, he was very impressed. The little lady of the Cao family liked to eat dumplings with leeks, eggs and shrimps. Two days ago, the in-laws Tao’s family brought shrimps.

"I see."

Li Haitang had a rough idea in his heart. If he followed the Tao family's line, he could solve the case in an hour.

There was a reason for the murder, and the Tao family did not admit it, so you can ask the neighbors of the Tao family.

Li Haitang guessed that Tao Lin had other lovers and wanted to withdraw from the marriage, but Cao's family disagreed, so he felt resentful, and in a flash, he soaked shrimps with arsenic, poisoning the entire family.

Perhaps, Tao Lin didn't want everyone in the Cao family to be buried with him, but only the youngest daughter of the Cao family.

Before leaving, Li Haitang told Zhang Zheng about the hickey.

"I didn't expect you to be so observant."

Zhang Zheng nodded, and replied calmly, "Since Tao Lin came in, I know he is the murderer."

"why?"

Li Haitang was surprised. Could it be that he had handled too many cases and had an intuition?

"No, he said it himself and admitted that he was the murderer."

Zhang Zheng waved his hand, now he can arrest people, and bring them back to Jingzhaoyi Yamen for interrogation. On the night of New Year's Eve, the case will be closed, and the case will not be delayed until next year.

"Ok?"

When Li Haitang went out, she saw Tao Lin yelling. She also wanted to know what loopholes the other party said that made Zhang Zheng believe that he was the murderer.

"Just now he said that the murderer was so vicious that he poisoned a large family with arsenic."

Zhang Zheng pursed his lips and died of poisoning. Everyone around him basically knew about it, but just now he did an experiment with a hen, and Li Haitang identified it as arsenic. Only the officials knew about it.

Tao Lin didn't enter the house again, so how did he know that the Cao family died of arsenic poisoning?

He doesn't call himself out, thinks he is smart, calls out "stop thief", and has a touching IQ.

There was not much suspense about the case. Li Haitang and his party returned to Zhuangzi, Xiaodoubao was tired from playing, and fell asleep.

Li Haitang kissed the chubby little bun, touched her stomach, and gave birth to a little girl. She didn't want to have any more this year.

It takes a lot of effort to give birth to a baby, and she also wants to go out with her savage husband and play in the mountains and rivers.

On New Year's Eve, there is a lot of people, firecrackers, and the carriage is walking on the small road in the country. From a distance, you can see the rows of red lanterns hanging at your door. It has been another year.

Before the New Year's Eve, the couple woke up Doubao. The family of three, plus the little one in the belly, prayed devoutly together that everything will go well and get better in the coming year.

…

Crackling!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Haitang woke up to the sound of firecrackers. Today is a day to visit relatives and friends and pay New Year's greetings.

Li Haitang made friends with several sisters in Kyoto, Fang Shaoyao, Lin Wan and Zhenshi.

She made an appointment with Fang Shaoyao before, to bring bean buns to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, and then meet her together, and then go to the Lin's house to be lively. As for Mrs. Zhen, her family has a big business, she receives many people, and she is very busy. The sisters will get together after the sixth day of the first lunar month.
