The head of the village and the villagers quickly led them to Zhang Fa's house to see the house, which should be one of the better-built houses in the village.
They stood at the door and called for help. Soon a sharp-tongued woman came out and said, "He's calling for your soul. You can't even stay in the toilet peacefully."
"Shut up now! You are so tired of talking to the official like this."
The sharp-tongued woman then realized that it was the head of the village and the officials who came to the door. Suddenly, her legs began to tremble and her mouth also trembled.
"Where's Zhang Fa Ren?" the village head asked. "Why are you shaking when the interrogation hasn't even started yet?"
"I'm afraid, sir, but what has my son done wrong?"
"Where are the others?"
"His wife disappeared yesterday. He went out to look for someone and was not at home." The old woman looked evasive and it was obvious that she was guilty.
"Let me ask you, have you seen Song Qin in the past two days?" Chun Xiao couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.
The old woman swayed for a moment, but quickly regained her composure. "Song Qin was bought a long time ago, how could I have seen her before? Who are you? How did you find me here when you were looking for her? It's inexplicable."
Chunxiao took out the portrait and said, "You really haven't seen her before." She pointed the portrait at the villagers, and everyone shook their heads. "What Wang Po said is right. Her ex-wife was sold two years ago. How could she be here? You've got the wrong place."
Chunxiao frowned. Since Xiaohua was in the village, then Xingfu must have been here before. How come no one in the village had seen him? "Where has Zhang Fa been these past two days?"
"Didn't I say that his wife is missing and he went out to look for her?" The old woman looked at the officer next to her and asked, "Sir, what happened to my son?" She asked the officer tremblingly.
The officer frowned and came to Chunxiao's side. "Now that we can't find the person, and you don't have any evidence, it's difficult for us to arrest him. I'm afraid we can only disperse like this today."
Chunxiao always felt that the old woman's attitude was strange. "Sir, do me a favor," she pulled the servant aside and secretly slipped him 10 taels of silver. "Please help me search her room. If you can't find her, I'll find another way."
This kind of thing was just a side job. It was easy for the official to search the people. The official took the money and whispered a few words with the person who came with him, then looked at the old woman and said, "Someone reported to the official that you abducted a decent woman. Now we want to search this house. Outsiders are not allowed to delay our work." After that, he rushed into the house, and the two officials from Luokou followed him in.
"Oh, you are so unjust! How can you rummage through other people's houses?" The old woman followed him in anxiously. "I will sue you, sue you."
Chunxiao and the others didn't care about anything else and rushed in. They looked at each room one by one. The house was already a mess, and now it was even dirtier. There was not even three rooms left. They went to the backyard.
"What's locked in here?" the officer asked Wang Po while looking at the padlock on the door.
Mrs. Wang shuddered. "It's just where I put my stuff. It hasn't been moved in years."
"Open it and take a look."
Chunxiao and the others also came over and tried to open the lock, but couldn't. "Open it quickly!"
"They said it hadn't been moved in a while, and the key was lost a long time ago. Where can I find it for you?"
Her expression told Chunxiao that there must be something wrong. She looked around the yard, ran over, picked up a stone and started smashing the door.
"How dare you, woman, smash my door? I'm going to sue you." As she said this, she was about to snatch the stone from her, but was stopped by Yan Dashan. Seeing that she couldn't smash the door, Zhao Shitou grabbed the stone and smashed it twice, and the door lock fell off.
The two men hurriedly pushed open the door and saw a person locked at the foot of the table in the dim room. The person's mouth was blocked, his hands and feet were tied, and his neck was locked to the foot of the table with a chain. He was curled up at the moment.
"Xiaoqin." Zhao Shitou ran over and picked her up. Chunxiao pulled the chain and looked at the old woman with red eyes, "Where's the key? The key.
The old woman was so frightened when she saw the truth that she fell to her knees. "How dare you break into other people's houses so casually? Do you have any sense of justice?"
Seeing that the woman was still quibbling after being caught red-handed, the officer beside him became impatient and drew his sword, "If you don't behave yourself, I will send you to see the King of Hell."
The old woman didn't dare to move at all. She tremblingly took out the key from her body and said, "Sir, she is my daughter-in-law. It is wrong to lock her up, but this is a family matter. It is not a serious crime."
What a shameless old woman! Chunxiao didn't want to argue with her any more. She opened the chain, and her happy neck was bleeding from being rubbed.
"Boss, she wants to see a doctor. Please get one for her." Zhao Shitou untied her ropes.
"Carry her in the car first, we'll go see a doctor." She looked at the officers and said, "Officers, I'm going to sue the Zhang Fa family for kidnapping and abducting decent women and robbing them of a huge sum of money. Arrest them."
Several people arrested the old woman. When the villagers at the door saw Zhao Shitou carrying Song Qin out, they were all shocked. They didn't expect that the woman was really there. It seemed that she had suffered a lot. But they didn't understand why Song Qin appeared in Zhang Fa's house when she had obviously been sold long ago.
When the old woman was dragged out, she kept shouting that she was innocent. Several servants became impatient and simply covered her mouth and took her into the car.
"Officer, what is this?" The village head also looked incredulous.
"Someone has accused Zhang Fa of kidnapping a decent woman and robbing her of a large sum of money. The victim has been found. If the allegations are true, we will soon issue a wanted notice. Villagers, please be vigilant and report the suspect to the township government immediately if you see him. Otherwise, he will be charged with harboring a criminal."
