Space Farming: Pampered

Chapter 33 Doubt

When Shen Jintang arrived at the Zhuangzi, the tenants came up to him with smoky faces, as if they had found their backbone.

"Which of you guys was the first to notice that the warehouse was on fire?"

Shen Jintang walked to the place where the warehouse was, and it had become a mess, with ruins everywhere.

A woman with freckles stood up. She glanced at Shen Jintang and lowered her head and replied, "I discovered it first."

Shen Jintang looked at her and asked, "How did you find out?"

"My family was preparing to make lunch at that time, and the head of the house was lighting the fire. I saw that there were no shallots in the house, so I was going to go out and gather a few onions in the field."

Having said that, she swallowed her saliva, and then said: "When I was about to go back after gathering the green onions, I saw a figure sneaking away from the warehouse. I took another look at the warehouse at that time, and then found the warehouse It's smoking like it's on fire."

As soon as she said this, Shen Jintang frowned: "Did you see a figure leaving the warehouse?"

The woman nodded and said, "It's a little far away, and I couldn't see who it was. From a distance, I looked tall and slender, like a woman."

Apart from these few tenants in the Zhuangzi, only Shen Jintang's family would come.

If the fire in the warehouse was intentional, and if it was a woman, then the woman could only be one of the tenants.

Shen Jintang didn't notice, when the freckled woman said she saw someone walking away from the warehouse, Wei subconsciously took two steps back.

This Wei family was the woman who opened the door for them when they came to see Zhuangzi for the first time.

After Shen Jintang finished listening, his eyes fell on the tall women among the tenants.

There are a dozen or so tenant households in this village, and each household has at least one woman.

Some add children and mothers to two or three women.

Shen Jintang glanced over and found that there were at least 30 to [-] women here.

Most of them are tall women.

She stood there and watched those women quietly for a while, quietly observing the expressions on each of their faces.

It wasn't until those women felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her that she smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone, the warehouse is empty, and the things inside were transferred out by me a few days ago."

Now those silk quilts and satins are well piled up in her space.

She was worried that the people of the Wu family would let it go, and if someone came to steal these things, she quietly put them in the space, and wanted to wait until the town opened a shop, and then quietly move it out and move it into the shop.

Who knew that the warehouse caught fire in just a few days.

She practiced medicine these days and forged many good relationships.It's too late for others to be grateful to her, no one will burn her warehouse.

The only offenders were Mrs. Shen's family, Mrs. Wu's family and her daughter-in-law Mrs. Zhang.

As for Mrs. Shen's family, she didn't think this family would have the courage to do such a thing.

Therefore, she can basically conclude that the burning of the warehouse is inseparable from the old lady of the Wu family and the Zhang family.

But how the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bribed the people in her village, and who they bribed, can only be investigated slowly.

When the others heard that the burned warehouse was empty, they were shocked and relieved.

Only Wei Shi reacted a little more, raised his head abruptly, and looked at Shen Jintang in disbelief.

Shen Jintang said this on purpose, just to see the expressions and attitudes of these people, so he didn't miss the disbelief that appeared on Wei's face at that moment.

She narrowed her almond eyes slightly, and said to those people again: "Since someone saw someone sneaking away from the warehouse when the warehouse was on fire, it means that the arsonist is in our village."

"Since this is the case, then I will investigate carefully. In order to avoid irreparable losses next time." Shen Jintang said.

After saying this, everyone quickly looked at her, and a fat woman looked at her and asked cautiously, "My lord, how do you want to investigate?"

Shen Jintang smiled when he heard the words: "Everyone can come to me and talk about who has behaved abnormally in the past few days, or there have been other changes in the family. What kind of people have you been in contact with."

After a pause, she continued: "As long as the clues are provided, each person will be given ten pennies. If the clues provided are useful, fifty pennies will be given."

As soon as these words were said, those people's eyes could not help but brighten up.

They didn't expect that the warehouse in Zhuangzi was burned, and the young and beautiful owner not only did not hold them accountable, but even returned the money after asking them for information.

This is simply a good thing that can't be found with a lantern, okay?
Shen Jintang looked at their excited and restless faces, smiled again, and said, "But if you talk nonsense for this ten cents, I will drive his family out of Zhuangzi."

Hearing this, those people who were talking nonsense in the name of wanting to earn a few more pennies suddenly fell silent.

Although it is very exciting to be able to get ten coins, compared with being kicked out of Zhuangzi, it is simply the difference between sesame and watermelon.

Although they are the people who live at the bottom and live by renting other people's fields, they are not lacking in the shrewdness of the world.

They wouldn't do such a stupid thing like picking sesame seeds and throwing watermelons.

"Everyone, think about it carefully. Is there anyone around you who is different from usual, and who have you met? Then you can go to my house and talk to me." After Shen Jintang finished speaking, he seemed to glance at Wei Shi inadvertently.

Wei's heart was already guilty, but seeing her light eyes, he wished to lower his head into the cracks in the ground.

Shen Jintang had a little understanding in his heart.

Looking at the burnt black mess in front of her eyes, she said to one of the men, "Clean this place up, and I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, she glanced at another man who ran to her house to find her, and said to him, "Come with me."

The two walked to the gate of Zhuangzi, and Shen Jintang whispered to him: "I feel that something is wrong with Wei Shi, please help me keep an eye on her. By the way, see if there is any change in her family, or if something happened to her relatives. "

The man was taken aback when he heard the words, looked at her blankly and said, "Wei Shi? Do you think she burned the warehouse of the master's house?"

Shen Jintang didn't say yes or no, but told him: "Just keep an eye on her. Come and tell me if you have any news, and you won't lose your benefits later."

The man nodded after hearing the words: "Okay, okay, don't worry, master, I will definitely keep an eye on her."

Shen Jintang nodded to him, then turned and left.
