Li Qingling stood at the side and watched as Zeng Ironhead and the others dug a huge pit and slowly piled all the dead fish into it.
After an hour, they finally put down all the dead fish.
They were so tired that they had to sit on the ground for a while before they could finally get up. They asked Li Qingling if he was going to set a fire now.
Li Qingling stared at the large hole filled with the dead fish, and nodded his head with a pained expression, "Sprinkle some oil on it, and then set it on fire!"
"Yes, boss." Zeng Tie wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly went back to get two buckets of oil. He bitterly poured the oil on top of the dead fish and only let them light the fire after a while.
Because of the oil, as soon as the fire touched the fish, there was a "boom" sound and the fire began to burn furiously.
After a while, the entire village was filled with the fragrance of grilled fish.
Smelling this smell, the villagers all ran over. When they saw the fish being burned by the raging flames, their hearts ached.
"Can't you eat this fish? How did they all get set on fire? " Those who hadn't heard the sound of the wind asked doubtfully.
"I don't know. If I knew, I would have come back to pick up some."
Even though they were living a wealthy life, they were usually quite frugal. They would only buy meat once every eight to ten days. Seeing these fish wasted, they truly felt their hearts ache!
The person who heard the news looked at the two idiotically and said loudly, "Didn't you hear that? Those fish were poisoned to death by someone and are poisonous. If you don't want to die, then go and pick them up! "
If those fish weren't poisonous, he would have already gone to get them. Was there really a need to helplessly watch those fish get burnt?
"What?" "Who was poisoned to death by someone? Who could have such a dark heart and dares to poison someone?"
Zeng Tie-tou knew the opportunity had come and said loudly, "Yes, our boss is wholeheartedly trying to help everyone and lead a rich life. However, that black-hearted guy just can't stand it and poisoned the fish in the fish pond. He doesn't know if the fish pond can be reared or not, but if it can't be reared, then we will have to dismiss a lot of people." He looked at the angry villagers and continued, "If the person who poisoned our village was here, it would definitely be a great hidden danger. Who knows if he would directly poison us next time?"
When these words came out, everyone in the village was so shocked that their faces changed. They felt that what Chief Zeng said was right, who knew if that crazy person would make a move against them?
They did not want to lose their lives like this.
"Then, that .." What should he do? Why don't we report it? Let Master Qing Tian help us catch the culprit. "
"That's right, we must report this to the officials and capture that black-hearted person."
If they didn't capture that black-hearted person, they would be in danger all the time. Who knows when they would die?
He raised his hand and waited for the villagers to quiet down before he said, "For our own safety, we must work together and find the person who poisoned him and let him be punished, don't you think so?"
His words were especially infectious, and when the villagers heard it, they could not help but nod their heads.
"Alright, since that's the case, tell us. Is there anyone suspicious strolling around the pond recently?"
When they heard that, everyone in the village lowered their heads, seriously thinking about it.
At this moment, the Village Chief hastily ran over. He did not expect to hear about such a serious matter upon returning from the town.
He quickly ran in front of Li Qingling and asked him what was going on. How could all the fish in the pond be dead?
When he came back, he heard others saying that all the fishes in Li Qingling's Pond had died. Before he could finish listening to everything else, he had already ran over hurriedly.
When Li Qingling saw that the village chief was worried for her from the bottom of her heart, she was slightly moved. She pursed her lips and laughed bitterly: "I don't know who poisoned all the fish in the pond, I was afraid that someone might take advantage of me and steal all the dead fish back home to eat. If that happened, Uncle Zeng and the rest would have dug a huge pit and burnt all the fish." No one knew that her heart was bleeding. Her silver!
"Bastard, who the hell killed such a black-hearted man to do such a vicious thing?" When the village chief heard Li Qingling's words, he scolded fiercely. His eyes swept across the surrounding villagers, and said with a dark face: "If I find out that this was done by someone from our village, I definitely won't let him off."
Li Qingling was their Ox-Head Village's lucky star, he would definitely not allow anyone to harm Li Qingling.
This time, no matter how difficult it was, he had to help Li Qingling and investigate this matter thoroughly.
"Cun Zhangyeye, these fishes that I lost, I'll just treat them as money to fend them off. What I'm worried about the most right now is that vicious people will attack the villagers."
His heart skipped a beat. The Village Chief was also frightened. He furrowed his brows and thought for a moment. He felt that it was very possible that this would happen.
If that happened ..
No, this had to be prevented beforehand. They couldn't let those people make their move again.
He cleared his throat, looked at the villagers, and calmly said in a loud voice: "I believe everyone has heard what Xiao Ling said. Tell me, what do you guys think?" If the villagers were united in their pursuit of the murderer, it would be for the best.
As the saying goes, having more people means more strength. He didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to catch that person's fox tail.
The villagers looked at each other, but Auntie Huang was the first to step forward. She raised her voice, trying her best to make her voice heard by everyone present. "For myself, for my family, I will try my best to find the murderer. Arrest him."
This time, it was not a matter for Li Qingling alone, but the entire village. For their own safety, they had to stand up.
With Auntie Huang leading the way, other villagers also followed one after the other. They all said that they would do their best to find the culprit.
When the Village Chief saw the actions of the villagers, he nodded his head in satisfaction. That's right, as long as they worked together, they would definitely be able to find the culprit.
"Good, this is a member of my Ox-Head Village, you have guts." He was truly happy that the people of her village had such awareness, "From now on, if you see any suspicious people, report to me, or directly go find Xiao Ling, do you understand?"
"Understood..." The villagers answered in unison.
Seeing this scene, Li Qingling's face broke into a smile. She really never thought that there would come a day where the people of the village would work together like this.
She truly felt gratified.
Only then, would the Ox-Head Village become better and better, and the villagers themselves would become better and better?
The village chief turned to Li Qingling and asked him if he had anything else to say.
Li Qingling took a step forward, looked around at the villagers, and said with a smile, "All of you uncles, aunties, and aunties, if you all are aware that someone is wandering around the pond during this period of time, you can all come to my house and tell me about it quietly." She wanted to start from this point and narrow the scope of the investigation.
After she finished speaking, the village chief followed, "I do not wish for you to hide anything. If you see anyone you suspect, you can go and tell Xiao Ling so that he can catch the culprit and remove our danger." He was truly afraid that something might happen to the villagers, so he had to settle this matter as soon as possible.
Li Qingling thanked the village chief and told Zeng Tietou to watch the fish until all the fish were burnt.
"En!" Zeng Tietou said. He promised to keep an eye on him.
"Alright, I'll leave this place to you. I'll head back first." When she returned home, she waited for people to come knocking on his door and speak with him. After nodding to the village head, she quickly left.
Not long after she returned home, there were people who came knocking on her door one after another. Li Qingling took note of every single thing that they said, making it convenient for her to turn around and check.
"Nanny Ding, if you have something to say, just say it! "No need to worry."
Mrs Ding was a village widow. Not long after she married into the village, her husband died without leaving her a child or a daughter. She did not remarry and stayed in the village for the rest of her life.
Seeing that she was pitiful, Li Qingling would take some things to help her from time to time, so her life wouldn't be as sad.
She then slowly opened her mouth, "A few days ago, I saw Li Laifu wandering around the pond, I wonder if this was done by him?" At that time, she saw that Li Laifu did not think much about it, and quickly walked back home.
Hearing this, Li Qingling's heart jumped, and his eyes shined as he looked at Ding Clan, "Nanny Ding, when did you see him? Was he alone? Is there anyone else around? " She had a feeling that eighty percent of this matter was done by Li Laifu.
But since she had no evidence, she could not do anything to him.
When she found the evidence, she would definitely send him to jail mercilessly.
This time, he dared to poison her fish. Who knew if he would directly target her or her family next time?
She would let him in just for the slightest possibility.
Nanny Ding frowned: "I saw him when I was young. At that time, the sky was getting dark, I only glanced at him once before hurrying home." She thought for a moment, then said, "There's no one around him. He's the only one around."
Li Qingling also wrote down this matter with a darkened face. After writing it down, her expression relaxed a little and she looked at D * mn and said: "Thank you, Grandma. You can eat with me in a while!" The matter that Mrs Ding had told her was of great help to her. She could ask Chief Zeng to gather more people to investigate Li Laifu.
Mrs Ding somewhat embarrassedly waved her hand, saying that there was no need, she could just go home and do it.
Li Qingling had helped her so much, how could she have the face to eat at his house?
