Chapter 76 The Man Who Set Fire
But after listening carefully, I found that the sound of the gong was in the direction of the foot of the mountain, so I had to walk quickly to the foot of the mountain.
Zhou Li was almost waiting for someone to come, and said loudly: "This time you are called here, not for anything else, but because something extremely bad happened in our village."
"Last night, someone came to set fire to the Nangong family's big house, trying to burn them to death. If Ah Shan was not alert and found out before that person started, the Ah Shan family would not know what happened now."
"Everyone looked in the direction of my finger, all the grass there was burned by that man."
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and they really saw that it looked like it had been burned.
Wei Zhongshan suddenly became angry, and said loudly: "Who is so bold that he wants to set fire to kill people?"
Yu Shi also said: "Ashan is the savior of the whole village. It is really outrageous for that person to kill his savior."
Cao Zhenya said: "I didn't expect there to be such a vicious person in our village. We must never let that person go like this. He must pay the price he deserves. Otherwise, if the person is unhappy, he will burn others again." .”
"Yes, we must find that person and send him to the official!"
Nangong Anshan stepped forward and said: "Everyone is right, this kind of person must pay the due price. When I was chasing that person last night, I saw the figure of that person and knew it was a woman. According to me It is speculated that the age should be fourteen or fifteen years old, and the height is no more than 1.5 meters."
Zhou Lizheng said: "All the girls who are 14 or 15 years old and less than 1.5 meters tall will stand in front of me."
Some people feel that they are innocent, so they step forward generously.
Some people seemed to be afraid that Nangong Anshan might mistake someone, so they walked forward slowly.
After the person who should stand up came forward, Nangong Anshan roughly counted, and there were dozens of people.
She looked at everyone carefully several times, and suddenly said: "Thank you, everyone, turn around. I saw most of that person's back last night."
All the women turned around obediently.
Nangong Anshan took a closer look, then suddenly walked up to a woman, and said, "You were the one who set fire to my house last night."
Everyone's eyes instantly fell on the woman.
The woman turned her head and saw everyone staring at her, and said nervously: "No...it's not me, how could it be me, I was scared by ghosts the night before, and I didn't even dare to go out at night, how could it be me? I Everyone in my family can testify to me."
Nangong Anshan identified Li Ergou's younger sister Li Fangfang.
Zhou Lizheng said: "Ashan, are you sure it's her?"
"Sure, if I wrong her, I am willing to be struck by lightning!"
Seeing Nangong Anshan swear poisonously, some people also looked at Li Fangfang suspiciously.
Chen Cuicui stopped immediately, and protected Li Fangfang behind her back, saying: "Nangong Anshan, everyone knows the grievances between you and our family. You must be taking revenge on us because of what my family did to you before. The night is so dark , how could you know who the person who set the fire was? I think you just want to find someone to take the place of the dead. "
Wu Dayong also said: "That's right, everyone in the village knows that Li Fangfang was scared by a ghost the night before. How dare she go out at night. I think you are taking this opportunity to take revenge on her."
Nangong Anshan said: "The night is dark, but it doesn't mean I'm blind. Li Fangfang was scared by a ghost the night before? She can fool you, but not me."
Zhou Lizheng asked: "Ashan, what do you mean, you know the truth about what happened the night before?"
"That's right." Nangong Anshan said: "What happened the night before was Li Fangfang's creation out of nothing. From the beginning to the end, there were no ghosts at all. Everything was directed and acted by her."
Chen Cuicui frowned and said: "You are talking nonsense, how could my daughter be so boring, what is her reason for doing this?"
Nangong Anshan said: "It's just to set fire to my house. As long as she says she saw a ghost and saw it in the middle of the night, the whole village will be affected. Then as long as it gets dark at night, no one will dare to go out again. At that time, even if she comes out to set the fire alone, no one will be able to see her, so she can escape unscathed."
Chen Cuicui said: "This is all your guess, my daughter is timid, it is impossible to set fire."
Nangong Anshan said: "I am the evidence. I saw her come to set the fire with my own eyes."
"What you say doesn't count."
"Doesn't it count? I have other evidence."
Nangong Anshan glanced at her kitchen, and said, "My kitchen is right in front of the tent. When I saw that man last night, I grabbed the kitchen oil and chased after him."
"I knew that I would not be able to catch up with that person, so I poured oil on that person. The oil is a kind of yellow liquid. Grandpa Lizheng can send someone to Li's house to look for that piece of clothing. You can still find it."
Li Fangfang's face suddenly turned pale when he heard the words.
Zhou Lizheng nodded, looked at his wife Zhao: "Take a few people to search in Li's tent."
Mrs. Zhao nodded, and hurried to the tent of Li's family with several women including Cao Zhenya and Mrs. Yu.
The Li family saw this and wanted to follow.
Zhou Lizheng gave the eldest son Zhou Zhenyang a look, and he led people to stop everyone in the Li family.
Chen Cuicui said anxiously: "Zhou Lizheng, how could you let someone go to my house without authorization? If my money is lost, I want you to pay for it!"
"Compensation?" Zhou Lizheng said: "I don't believe you are so stupid that you would put money in a tent with no sense of security at all. All your money is probably on you."
Chen Cuicui choked, and suddenly had nothing to say.
After a long while, Mrs. Zhao came back with someone, and said, "I haven't found the dress that Ashan mentioned for the time being."
Li Fangfang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Cuicui became complacent again, "Hmph, my daughter was wronged, so don't frame good people here."
Zhou Li was looking at Nangong Anshan, "Ashan, do you have any other evidence?"
Nangong Anshan took a careful look at Li Fangfang, and suddenly smiled: "Of course, the evidence is on Li Fangfang."
Everyone looked at Li Fangfang at the same time.
Nangong Anshan said again: "Based on my guess, last night she probably came out wearing a white underwear just in case."
"As long as people who come out like this see her, they will think of the ghost she said, and no one will dare to look at her face carefully. She can do bad things smoothly."
"If you can't find that piece of clothing in the tent, given their family's conditions, they definitely won't be willing to throw that piece of clothing away."
"Therefore, the dress must be on her body now, as long as she takes off the coat, the truth will be revealed."
