Everyone was talking about it, and simply followed the detectives to the family's door, standing outside and craning their necks to look inside.
The noodle shop lady led the detectives into the bedroom, trying to show them the room where they were doused with manure yesterday and point out the location.
But the chief constable didn't care much about whether the family was splashed with shit or where they were splashed with shit.
He signaled his men to explore the surroundings.
The subordinates looked around, trying to find some bloodstains.
But there was nothing.
The ground in the yard where countless secret guards died yesterday was clean, without a single red spot.
They even asked the coroner to sprinkle some medicine powder on the ground, but nothing unusual was found.
This yard is really clean.
The old lady in the noodle shop cried in a drawn-out voice, "My dear adults, you have to give us justice! I have never suffered such a crime in my life! Hurry up and arrest the Ji family! Arrest them!"
The noodle shop lady still feels disgusted when she thinks about it now.
They were all awake when they were thrown into a large water vat and doused with night incense from head to toe yesterday.
The night fragrance passed through her nose, followed the black cloth that bound her mouth, slid into her mouth, and flowed all over her body. She felt so sick that the noodle shop grandma started to dry heave as she spoke.
The constable took a few steps back calmly and asked, "Did you see clearly what those men in black looked like?"
The noodle shop lady shook her head, then nodded suddenly: "I see clearly, it's Miss Ji San's people!"
The head constable asked: "How do you prove that it was Miss Ji San's man?"
The old lady from the noodle shop talked for a long time but couldn't make any sense, so she simply said, "That must be hers! My lord, listen to me, an old woman, it must be right!"
Constable: “…”
He shook his head, his eyes full of contempt.
Can things be that simple?
Whoever she says is who it is? No evidence needed?
He did a good job in helping the Fifth Prince, but he also needed evidence when doing things!
Without any evidence, would he dare to arrest Miss Ji San?
Behind Miss Ji San is the Ji family, behind the Ji family is the prince, and behind the prince is the queen!
Even the fifth prince has to be careful about everything, let alone him!
The yard was cleaned very carefully, and there was no sign of anyone having died there.
The detectives left not long after.
The noodle shop owner was dumbfounded.
The noodle shop grandma chased out, cursing: "Have you been bribed by the Ji family and accepted their money?"
She looked at the neighbors gathered outside her house and cried, "We ordinary people have a hard time. Look, these constables don't do anything for us! Everyone needs to help us."
Someone with a hot temper in the crowd spat on the spot: "Pah! I can't help it anymore. Auntie, please stop! How dare you say that? If you really were thrown shit at you, you deserved it! Who told you to throw eggs at people? If you don't behave like human beings, don't let others treat you like human beings!"
The noodle shop grandma's eyes widened, and she was furious: "How can you speak like that! We threw eggs at people, and we had our reasons!"
Seeing his mother staggering with anger, the son of the noodle shop rushed over to support her, saying to everyone with a gloomy face, "If it weren't for that cloth shop tricking my wife into stealing money to buy clothes, we wouldn't be in this situation!"
"Have some shame!" someone nearby chimed in. "But the cloth shop people came to your house, dragged your wife over, and forced her to buy? Didn't they? Your wife couldn't help herself, you couldn't control her, so what does the cloth shop have to do with it? If you can't afford it in Dongyun, go to Xiyun! Well, now the cloth shop is closed, are you satisfied? Are you satisfied? You are satisfied, but what about those of us who want to buy clothes? Ah?"
"That's right! Now that the store is closed, other cloth shops have also raised their prices! The weather is about to get colder, and I was just hoping to buy some winter clothes for my kids! What bad luck!"
"Me too! Originally, I could buy two pieces in Xiyun for the same price! Now, I can only buy one!"
"Miss Ji is really nice. Originally, Xiyun Cloth Shop's promotion of a 50-cent discount on purchases over 100 cents only lasted for one month, but then she said she was considerate of us common people. Although she won't be giving out clothes anymore, she'll still offer the 50-cent discount on purchases over 100 cents. She even said she'd extend it for another month!"
"Don't mention it, there's nothing left now! It's all this family's fault! Everyone, remember, the Elm Tree Noodle House across the street is owned by this family, don't eat there!"
"Okay, I won't go. I'd rather starve to death than go!"
"That's right, he's so mean, who knows if he'll poison me."
The noodle shop owner wanted to argue, but it was no use.
The more these people thought about it, the more indignant they became. Thinking about having to spend more money on clothes, they even wanted to kill people: "Don't let me see you on the street again. If I see you again, I will scold you!"

During the autumn harvest season, the villages outside the city are particularly busy.
Qianmu Village is the village closest to Shangjing City. The farmland in the village is fertile. The villagers are busy working in the fields these days, working from sunrise to sunset.
It was afternoon, and Old Man Qian and Aunt Qian were busy at work when suddenly someone came running over and called out to them from the edge of the field: "Uncle, Aunt, someone has come to your house! And it's a distinguished person! Go and take a look!"
Old Man Qian and Aunt Qian looked at each other, both with confused expressions.
They were ordinary farmers, with only one son and one daughter. When Aunt Qian gave birth to her youngest son, she lost her virginity and never got pregnant again.
Now, the youngest son has joined the army and the eldest daughter has married and moved to the city.
Could it be related to their daughter? !
The two men quickly put down their sickles, wiped their sweat, and hurried home.
Sure enough, before I got home, I found an extremely luxurious carriage parked on the road outside my house.
The two men quickened their pace and as soon as they stepped into the yard, they found three women standing in the yard.
The woman in the middle is so noble and impressive that people dare not look directly at her.
