The annoying mosquitoes are easy to deal with.
Those annoying "flies" always come uninvited.
Every day, I have to deal with wave after wave.
Thanks to God, the grain was dried and could be stored in the warehouse in just a few days.
And just as their people were busy taking care of the food around the clock from morning to night, an accident struck again.
At this time, everyone was busy filling sacks, and there was a weighing scale beside them.
Each bag must be the standard 100 jin. After being weighed, it is tied up and put aside to be loaded onto the carriage.
There was only one horse-drawn carriage in their village, and it was busy like a top, constantly transporting goods to a large carriage outside the village.
The car was borrowed by Zhao Wei from the fleet.
For safe transportation.
The person driving the car was Erlaizi, and the other apprentices were responsible for carrying the goods up and down and escorting them.
At this moment, when everyone was working hard, no one knew who lit the fire, and the orange stalks on the threshing ground were set on fire.
The weather is dry and the heat is so intense that it seems to spread across the land.
Fortunately, the wind was not blowing towards the threshing ground, otherwise, all the grain on the ground would have been burned to ashes in one gust.
Everyone was so shocked that they dropped their work and rushed to put out the fire.
During this chaotic situation, Zhao Wei stopped Erxiao and others who were about to go forward to put out the fire.
"I suspect someone is trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain. You take half of the people with you and focus on investigating the village."
As for Huangmao, Zhao Wei asked him to take people to patrol various places outside the village to see if there was anyone sneaking in.
As for himself, he called on some villagers to pick up his hoe, shovel some mud and sand left over from repairing the house into a dustpan, and then spread it along the burning haystack.
This thing is much more advantageous than using water to extinguish fire.
Soon, the fire was under control.
After taking inventory at the scene, we found that about five haystacks were burned.
As for food, it was okay and there was not much damage.
The purpose of these people setting fire was not to actually destroy the food.
He straightened his tired back, and scanned the people at the scene with sharp eyes. Then he said seriously, "Whoever set the fire, come forward now. I can give him another chance to reform."
"Don't try to hide it from the world. There were eight people around the haystack at the time. I remember them all."
"Don't think about denying it. I have plenty of ways to find the murderer among these eight people."
…
As soon as Zhao Wei finished speaking, someone started shouting angrily.
"Who is it? Come out now! Damn you, you actually dared to set a fire. You will definitely kill people in the future!"
"Arson has always been a serious crime and will never be forgiven."
"Boss, tell me who those eight are. I'm going to squeeze out their shit and stuff it in their mouths. Let's see if they dare to mess around again!"
…
Zhao Wei was almost amused to death by what this guy named Gousheng said. What kind of weird and wonderful words were these?
Ahem…
He put on airs and continued his threats.
"I'll count to three. If you still don't stand up, don't blame me for calling your name. Then, I'll do as Gousheng said and fill you with shit!"
"1, 2..."
Zhao Wei counted to three, and the man seemed to still be thinking that Zhao Wei was exaggerating and would never find out about him.
After all, he was far away at the time, and he used a slingshot to catapult the lit match into the pile of orange stalks.
It took three attempts to get the fire bigger.
The other party was very far away from him at the time, and everyone at the scene was busy collecting food, so who would notice his insignificant little action?
What a pity, he underestimated Zhao Wei's ability. He had no other skills but a mind as sharp as dust. Otherwise, he would not be able to be a reconnaissance special forces soldier.
"Okay, I'm giving you a shame, right? I've been unable to invite you to come for several times, so I'll just have to force you to come."
"Wang Manzi, get out here!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of everyone in the village turned to Wang Manzi.
The man was so frightened that his legs went limp and he almost fell to his knees.
However, he seemed to have thought of something later, and quickly straightened his back and said stubbornly: "What basis do you have to prove that I did it?"
"You have no evidence. I suspect you are seeking revenge. You are not a good person at all!"
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll sue you!"
…
The man became more and more excited as he spoke, acting like a victim.
"Heh...you still want to clear yourself of suspicion, but don't you see what stupid things you have done?"
"Come a few people and search his body. There must be an ignition device."
Several male villagers who were very close rushed over and pinned him to the ground. Soon, they found a box of matches.
And then there's a slingshot.
Apart from this, there was nothing else on this person.
Everyone looked at these two things and felt a little unconvinced, so they said, "Boss, could this be a mistake? It's useless for this guy to burn the haystack! It definitely wasn't him who did it."
"Yeah, there's no need for him to burn this kind of thing. We are all family members..."
Zhao Wei smiled coldly: "Ha... How stupid! You think he is one of your own. He wants everyone in the village to eat bran and drink porridge!"
"Wait a little longer. Soon there will be witnesses to identify him. We must find out the right and wrong today. After all, this is related to food security."
"Otherwise, if someone sets it on fire, wouldn't all this year's hard work be wasted?"
Everyone shut up now. Although they thought Wang Manzi was not that kind of person, what if?
No one dared to guarantee it for him.
Just when Wang Manzi was still complaining, he saw Erxiao and his men approaching with two people from other villages.
They looked a little panicked, like typical thieves with a guilty conscience.
Zhao Wei simply circled around them, then stood aside with a sneer.
"Everyone, please wait a little longer. If what you expect is correct, there will be more surprises."
The two people from other villages who were captured saw that the situation was not good and started shouting and yelling.
"Why did you arrest us? We are just here to visit our relatives."
"You people from Yushudun have no right to arrest people at will. Do you hear me? I order you to let us go right now!"
…
The response to both of them was a slap from Erxiao.
"What kind of relatives are you talking about? That's pure nonsense. I know everyone in this village, and none of them are related to people from your Mouse Village."
The three words "Mouse Village" are quite lethal.
The people in this village have never done good things.
Now everyone has reason to suspect that the two of them are here to cause trouble.
So, without Erxiao taking any action, several excited villagers came forward.
"What are you two bastards doing here? Tell me what's going on!"
"If you don't tell the truth, Gousheng will beat you to death!"
