Han Mingyue and Gu Yanyu stopped arguing, pricked up their ears, and confirmed that the sound was coming from Gu Lili's house. They exchanged a glance and then ran towards Gu Lili's house.
At this moment, Gu Lili stood in the courtyard with a sullen face.
Across from Gu Lili stood a man with a flushed face, shouting something loudly.
A closer look reveals that this man is the same young man who called Gu Lili a liar this morning.
“I have nothing to say, I didn’t steal it, that’s all!” Zhang Gouzi roared.
While shouting, he even made a gesture as if to lead the oxcart away from Gu Lili's house.
Gu Lili gave Gu Yun Chu a look, and Gu Yun Chu and Li Tian Sheng stood in front, blocking the people from leaving.
The villagers who were helping Gu Lili also stopped what they were doing and gathered around to see what was going on.
"What's your hurry! You haven't even explained yourself, why are you leaving already!" Gu Lili said coldly.
Han Mingyue and Gu Yanyu saw this situation as soon as they entered the room. Gu Yanyu quickly ran to stand next to Gu Lili, pretending to protect her.
Han Mingyue stood at the courtyard gate to prevent Zhang Gouzi from escaping.
It turned out that there was a problem with the wheat that Zhang Gouzi was transporting; one bag of wheat was missing.
A bag of wheat can weigh about 100 jin (50 kg), which, according to current market prices, is worth more than one tael (50 grams) of silver.
That's no small amount.
The dog probably didn't realize that Gu Lili was counting herself; each truck was carrying ten bags of wheat.
Therefore, it's immediately obvious who is missing or lacking something.
Zhang Gouzi said in a panic, "I've made myself perfectly clear, I didn't know anything, I didn't touch your grain! If you don't believe me, let's go to the authorities!"
Zhang Gouzi refused to believe it. He thought that Gu Lili, that little brat, could possibly find any clues!
"Zhang Gouzi, did you take their wheat or not? You were walking at the very back, and you even said you needed to pee for a while, so you lagged behind!" Li An asked.
Li Anzheng was from the same village as Old Lady Li, and Zhang Gouzi wasn't far from Li Family Village either. His wife's family was also from Li Family Village.
This group of people would drive oxcarts to pick up people at every market in Donghai, and then wait for them to return at the city gate.
So they got to know each other after a while.
This dog is usually not very well-behaved, so Ang Lee also felt that he probably did something to it.
If Zhang Gouzi's actions caused them all to lose their jobs hauling grain, Li An would be absolutely against it.
Upon hearing Li An's words, Zhang Gouzi immediately launched into a tirade, "You old bastard, shut your damn mouth! What could I possibly do to me while I'm taking a piss? You think I won't slap you a few times?!"
Gu Lili is rich, so this dog doesn't dare to mess with her, but he still dares to mess with Li An, an old man in his fifties or sixties.
Ang Lee is usually an honest and unassuming man. When they chat together, even if they say something harsh, the old man just smiles and doesn't dare to get angry.
Zhang Gouzi actually clenched his fists and walked towards Li An, wanting to beat him up.
"Third Uncle, uncles, stop this man quickly!" Gu Lili hurriedly called out.
This dog is clearly furious.
However, if you want to act wildly in front of Gu Lili, you have to ask her for permission first!
Zhang Gouzi retorted angrily, "Don't try to bully me just because you outnumber me. You say I took your family's wheat, but you need to provide evidence. If you don't have any evidence, then you're just framing me!"
Zhang Gouzi certainly had his reasons for being arrogant. Gu Lili knew that there were ten bags of wheat on each vehicle, but there was no evidence to prove that Zhang Gouzi had stolen them when they were missing.
Even if we take it to court, there's nothing we can do.
I can't just use my title as the head of the village to force Zhang Gouzi to admit it.
If he does this, even if he really did take it, it will inevitably give others grounds for criticism.
Zhang Gouzi's words made sense, leaving Gu Lili speechless for a moment.
Zhang Gouzi looked at Gu Lili, who was frowning and silent, his eyes filled with smugness and provocation.
Just as Gu Lili was about to let the man go and then send someone to secretly follow him and make him reveal a weakness, Han Mingyue's voice came from the courtyard gate.
"You want evidence? I have evidence!"
As Han Mingyue spoke, she walked up to Gu Lili.
"Lili, catch the carriage, I'll take you to find the evidence!" Han Mingyue said with a determined look in her eyes.
Gu Lili was completely confused. Was Han Mingyue trying to scam Zhang Gouzi?
It doesn't seem like it. Judging from Han Mingyue's eyes, he seems to know something.
"Keep an eye on them, we'll be right back!" Gu Lili said to everyone in the courtyard.
Gu Lili didn't know what Han Mingyue was up to, but she trusted him.
At that moment, Zhang Gouzi plopped down on the ground, looking completely unconcerned.
“Go ahead and look for it! If you can’t find any evidence, come back and compensate me. I’m a perfectly normal person, and you’ve framed me like this!” Zhang Gouzi said shamelessly.
Zhang Gouzi was certain that Han Mingyue and Gu Lili had no evidence whatsoever.
He was just trying to scare himself; Zhang Gouzi wasn't a three-year-old.
You think you can intimidate him like that?
No way!
Gu Lili ignored Zhang Gouzi, caught her family's carriage, and went out with Han Mingyue.
"Mingyue, do you really have any evidence?"
Inside the carriage, Gu Lili asked curiously.
If Han Mingyue understands the evidence, she will release Zhang Gouzi soon and do things according to Gu Lili's own ideas.
We can secretly send someone to follow him, which will also make him reveal a weakness.
Han Mingyue answered Gu Lili's question directly, "Lili, come this way!"
Seeing this, Gu Lili didn't say anything more and drove the carriage in the direction Han Mingyue pointed out.
Gu Lili recognized it; this was the way to her maternal grandmother's house.
Gu Lili didn't pull the reins, so Zhuifeng galloped forward all the way.
After running for about fifteen minutes, Gu Lili saw a woman ahead pulling a sack of grain in a cart.
Gu Lili's eyes lit up immediately. So this was the evidence Han Mingyue was talking about!
Actually, on the way home with Han Mingyue and Gu Lili, when he turned his head away, not daring to look at Gu Lili, he happened to see a woman pushing grain this way.
Because it was at a fork in the road, and Gu Lili was blocked by Han Mingyue, she didn't notice.
"Chasing Wind, let's hurry up and catch up with that woman ahead!" Gu Lili said, pointing to the woman in front.
Zhui Feng seemed to understand, let out a cry, and sped off forward.
Hearing the noise of the carriage, the woman quickly pushed the grain aside to let the carriage pass first.
To her surprise, the carriage stopped right in front of her.
