What's going on?
"How did Zhiwei's mother end up being dug out from under the wall?!"
"Isn't it obvious? Zhiwei's mother was clearly framed."
"Who is so bold as to harm someone and hide them inside the wall?"
"It's getting hotter and hotter. With Zhiwei's mother inside the wall, can't Zhao Laoda smell the stench?"
"Who knows? You're telling me, if Boss Zhao sleeps in bed at night and his wife sleeps against the wall, don't you think he gets chills down his spine in the middle of the night?!"
One villager was startled by these words; he had just pulled out the tent and was quite frightened.
It seems he'll have to go home today and have his wife get him a brazier so he can step over it.
Boil another pot of pomelo water, take a hot bath, and get rid of the bad luck.
The Yuan family has been found, but Lu Qiqi still has important things to do.
That means we absolutely cannot let Zhao's father escape.
"Everyone, follow me."
Lu Qiqi shouted, and led by Zhao Xiaodong, the villagers all came out of their houses.
The door to the next room was kicked open by Lu Qiqi.
With a bang, the door shook a few times.
The room was empty; there wasn't a soul in sight.
"Where is he?" Lu Qiqi asked.
Li Changlong stood guard in front of the door, not moving an inch, and he had no idea how the person had disappeared.
Lu Qiqi entered the room and saw that the window was open, so Zhao Laoda must have escaped through the window.
Then, Lu Qiqi heard the sound of wolves howling.
Then someone loudly begged for mercy.
It seems that Wangcai stopped the person.
Lu Qiqi braced her hands on the window frame, and with a burst of strength, lightly leaped out of the window.
Behind Zhao Zhiwei's room is a narrow alley.
As Lu Qiqi walked through the narrow alley, she saw Wangcai tackle Zhao Laoda to the ground.
Its sharp teeth were exposed, which frightened Zhao Laoda so much that his eyes widened like a donkey's.
Then, Lu Qiqi saw Zhou Yi carrying a rope and walking towards Zhao Laoda's direction.
Under her watchful eye, Zhou Yi quickly tied up Zhao Laoda.
On Monday, he grabbed Zhao Laoda's arm, pulled him up forcefully, and then pushed Zhao Laoda forward.
"Walk!"
When they returned to Zhao Zhiwei's house, Zhao Laoda was brought inside bound.
If the villagers could still guess what had happened after seeing this scene, they would be incredibly foolish.
They all gasped in shock.
"I never expected Zhao Laoda to be this kind of person. He was so good to Yuan Shi in public, and my wife scolded me for it several times. Who would have thought that he would actually kill Yuan Shi?"
"Yes, back then he insisted on marrying Yuan Shi despite the opinions of the villagers, which made Uncle Zhao and his wife very angry."
"Hey, did you guys see that person in green just now?"
"What's wrong?"
"He looks a bit like Zhao Chu'er, but wasn't he killed by bandits a long time ago? How did he come back? This is too strange!"
Upon hearing this, several villagers turned their gazes to Master Zhao, wishing they could burn a hole in him.
When Master Zhao learned of Madam Yuan's death, he sat on the bench in the main room, clenched his fists, and trembled with excitement.
It's unclear whether a sense of sorrow prevailed or anger took hold of him.
When he saw Zhao Laoda being tied up and taken into the house, he rushed into the yard like a cheetah ready to pounce and knocked Zhao Laoda to the ground with a single punch.
Zhao Laoda was so struck by this sudden attack that he saw stars.
His hands were tied behind his back, and he suddenly fell to the ground. There was a cracking sound, and the pain in his left arm made him lose his voice.
The pain forced sweat out of his forehead. Zhao Laoda felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if something heavy had pressed down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.
Then he felt a hard slap on his right cheek.
When Lu Qiqi saw Zhao Shiye straddling Zhao Laoda, her eyes turned red, and her gaze towards Zhao Laoda was filled with hatred.
He immediately said, "Zhou Yi, Second Brother, quickly pull Master Zhao away."
If Master Zhao beats Zhao the eldest to death, not only will Madam Yuan not be able to clear her name, but Master Zhao will also be implicated in a murder case.
The evidence that Zhao Laoda murdered Yuan Shi is conclusive; it would be a real pity if Zhao Shiye got involved.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Zhao Shiye was lifted up by Li Changlong and Zhou Yi, each holding one of his arms.
As the two men pulled Zhao the clerk away from Zhao the elder, Zhao the clerk did not forget to kick Zhao the elder twice.
After Master Zhao was pulled aside, Lu Qiqi stepped forward and squatted down to check on Boss Zhao's condition.
She laid Zhao Laoda flat, put one hand on his left arm, and immediately heard him gasp in pain.
Lu Qiqi felt the bones on his shoulder and determined that when Zhao Laoda fell to the ground, his weight had pressed down on one arm, causing his left arm to break.
She grabbed Zhao Laoda's left arm, ignoring his cries of pain, adjusted the position of his arm, and lifted it up to reattach it.
Master Zhao wanted to continue fighting, but it was clear that Li Changlong and Zhou Yi were about to lose control of him.
Lu Qiqi said, "Master Zhao, if you still want to know how Yuan died, you shouldn't have injured him at this time."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shiye's grip, which had been freed, gradually weakened.
Li Changlong and Zhou Yi exchanged a glance and then released his arms, one on each side.
Old Zhao's arm was set and he stopped complaining of pain.
Li Changlong and Zhou Yi then lifted him up and took him to the house where Yuan was buried.
Only Zhao Zhiwei and the already deceased Yuan Shi remained in the room.
Zhao Zhiwei remained in the same position, holding Yuan Shi and a pile of tents.
Lu Qiqi said, "You can't escape now. Tell me how you killed Yuan and hid her under the wall."
