Chapter 245 Twenty taels of bounty

  In order to catch the murderer behind the scenes so that he can give Mr. Sun an explanation, County Magistrate Zhang showed a pained expression: "If anyone knows the news about this person, you can come and provide me with information, and the reward will be ten taels!"

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd immediately boiled. This is a huge sum of money. Everyone wants to get this money. Someone else has a clue.

  The villagers spoke loudly, but still no one stepped forward to explain.

   "Stop yelling! I advise you to hand over the murderer as soon as possible!" County Magistrate Zhang gave an order, and the villagers fell silent, except for some people talking in private and the whistling of the cold wind in their ears.

   County magistrate Zhang saw that everyone was dumb, and felt anxious and annoyed, but he had no choice but to add fire to their hearts.

   "Who can find out the murderer, the reward is twenty taels!"

   Twenty taels! This huge amount made everyone dumbfounded.

   What a concept twenty taels is!

  With twenty taels! You don't have to worry about it for ten years! It is more than enough to buy individual courtyards!

  The villagers are only anxious, but they are really confused about this matter.

   "I also want to get the twenty taels! But I can't afford it without that blessing!"

   "Yes, yes! I don't know the murderer! I've been busy carrying rice bags all day, so I don't know anything!"

   "County magistrate, this is not a matter of money or not, the main thing is... we people really don't know, who goes out often in this winter."

   This person told the truth, the cold wind blows, and the earth is often covered with snow into a vast expanse of whiteness. If you go out in the wind and snow, your steps will be wiped out by the heavy snow, and it is easy for people to get lost.

At this time, Ge Hongmei was secretly smiling, and she counted her fingers excitedly. Although their family is considered a wealthy local family, this is a small place after all, and twenty taels of silver can be regarded as their output for five years. Naturally, I will be jealous and heartbeat.

  Seeing that no one came forward to fight with her, Ge Hongmei immediately took a step forward. Seeing someone approaching, Ge Hongmei looked at Ge Hongmei expectantly. He just wanted to settle the case quickly.

   "I know who the murderer is!" Ge Hongmei said excitedly.

  The eyes of the villagers were all on Ge Hongmei, and everyone was feeling emotional in their hearts. Why did Ge Hongmei know everything, and let them take the twenty taels.

   "Ge Hongmei, do you really know?" The white-haired, old-bearded villager raised his doubts.

  Ge Hongmei turned around suddenly, and looked straight at Liang Yi. Liang Yi only felt puzzled, what kind of tricks was Ge Hongmei going to do, "The murderer is her! Liang Yi!"

  As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

   "Are you kidding me!"

   "Yes, yes! How could Liang Yi do such a thing!"

   "Sister Hongmei, don't slander Liang Yi just for these twenty taels of silver! Although Liang Yi is a bit of a shrew! But she is a little girl after all, how could she do such a thing!"

  Ge Hongmei didn't panic in the slightest, instead she looked at Liang Yi firmly, thinking in her heart that she had decided on the twenty taels of silver!

  Liang Yi's face was covered in mud, and she couldn't see her face clearly. Several people who didn't know Liang Yi couldn't help laughing.

   "What's on the face!" One person covered his mouth and laughed.

   "Is it too ugly to be seen by others!" The man turned to the one who was laughing and agreed.
