Chapter 142 I Want All the Handsome Men in the World
As dawn broke, Yan Nanfei woke up.
For some reason, Yan Nanfei just couldn't fall back asleep.
I decided to get up.
The moment she got out of bed, Feng Shan also opened his eyes: "My lady, why are you up so early? Are you going to pee?"
The mountain was completely exposed, and Yan Nanfei was itching to make a move early in the morning.
"Cough cough." Yan Nanfei recalled the madness of last night and decided not to cause any more trouble by sealing the mountain: "I can't sleep, so I thought I'd get up and breathe some fresh air today."
“Let’s do it together.” Feng Shan also sat up, the blanket slipping off him. Yan Nanfei silently murmured in his heart: Good, good.
"It's alright, you can go to sleep." Yan Nanfei pressed his hand against Feng Shan's chest, trying to push Feng Shan down to lie down, but it was no use. Feng Shan was as steady as Mount Tai and could not be pressed down at all.
"I'm awake too, and I can't sleep." Feng Shan is very awake. In the past, he would rush to work in the fields before dawn, trying his best to squeeze out more time to do more things and earn more money.
One reason is to cover household expenses, and the other is to pay off debts to creditors.
I haven't slept in a while since the mountain was closed; this is a true example of sleeping in late.
Yan Nanfei couldn't refuse Feng Shan's request, so he got up with him.
After they got dressed, Yan Nanfei sat there waiting for Feng Shan to bring her water to wash up and have breakfast.
Yan Nanfei enjoyed five-star service and always wanted to give Fengshan a perfect score.
"My lady, what would you like for breakfast today?" Feng Shan asked Yan Nanfei after she finished washing her face.
Yan Nanfei frowned slightly: "I'd like some plain porridge, what about you?"
Yan Nanfei didn't make the decision alone; he also had to check on the mountain closure and ask him what he wanted to eat.
After all, he wasn't her servant; he was her husband.
“I also want to eat plain porridge.” This time, Feng Shan wasn’t just agreeing with Yan Nanfei; he genuinely wanted to eat it. “My lady, we really are on the same wavelength.”
Feng Shan's handsome face was beaming with joy.
Yan Nanfei was also infected by Fengshan's smile: "Yes, we are of one mind!"
After deciding what to have for breakfast after the mountain was closed, they started cooking without stopping for a moment.
The porridge made in Fengshan is not thick, but exceptionally soft and smooth, with a mellow and fragrant taste.
Yan Nanfei drank three large bowls, and Feng Shan drank two bowls.
"My lady, I'll go wash the dishes." Feng Shan was very efficient at his work; he couldn't stand any work being done or any procrastination.
He finishes almost everything immediately.
Suddenly, the gong at the village entrance was struck, and Yan Nanfei immediately ran to the door to see what was happening.
From afar, one could see the constable leading six yamen runners, with Da Mei and Da Shuai standing in the middle, bound by ropes.
Their clothes were covered in mud, and their hair was a mess, making them look like two beggars.
"My lady, what happened?" Feng Shan asked in the kitchen, raising his voice.
Yan Nanfei told Feng Shan about Da Mei and Da Shuai being captured, and Feng Shan replied, "I'll come out right away and go with you."
Feng Shan wasn't one to join in the fun, but Yan Nanfei loved it, so he would stay with her and keep her company.
A moment later, Feng Shan strode out, put his arm around Yan Nanfei, and they headed towards the village entrance together.
At this point, almost the entire village was present.
They were all so worried they couldn't sleep; they couldn't afford to pay the money, and they couldn't run away.
Being able to join in the fun now will also give me something to remember when I'm in jail later.
Seeing so many people, the constables immediately reported to the villagers: "We successfully apprehended these two individuals during our search operation last night. They completely deny killing the village chief, and their statements are entirely different from yours."
Upon hearing the constable's words, the villagers who knew the truth erupted in anger!
"What do you siblings mean by this?" The villagers were agitated because forging documents and telling lies could lead to beheading: "Are you trying to kill all of us?"
No matter how much the villagers cursed them, the siblings stubbornly refused to admit it.
"You're the ones trying to kill my brother and me! We didn't do anything, but you're accusing us!" Da Mei stubbornly insisted.
In any case, no one else witnessed what happened except for them.
As long as the siblings stubbornly deny it, the authorities can't do anything to them.
"I think you were just jealous of my mother becoming the village chief, so you killed her and then pinned the crime on my brother and me!" Every word Da Mei uttered sounded like she wanted to be pelted with stones: "Officer, I think the people you should be investigating most are these jealous villagers!"
The villagers were furious that someone had been innocently killed.
They excitedly pushed forward, seemingly wanting to humiliate Da Mei.
But the constables stopped the villagers who were about to lose their temper: "Don't worry, I will not let a good person go, nor will I let a bad person go. We will go to the scene now to conduct an on-site investigation."
After a night of burning, the original appearance of the houses was no longer visible, and some were left only as ruins.
When Da Mei and Da Shuai arrived at the place where they had set the fire, instead of being afraid, they pretended to be compassionate and cried out, "Ah, our mother, you died so tragically!"
Da Mei cried bitterly, while the general remained expressionless, as if the one who had died was a stranger.
Yan Nanfei was truly impressed by their demeanor.
I admire their strong mentality; they can endure this without fear and even put on a performance on the spot!
Yan Nanfei sensed that the next Oscars for Best Actor and Best Actress might not be awarded to them.
"You two keep an eye on the siblings, the rest of you come with me to find the body and evidence." The constables split into two groups, a very appropriate arrangement.
Da Mei and Da Shuai felt no pressure at all when they saw the constables going in to look for the body.
Go ahead and look, just look anywhere, dead people can't talk anyway.
As for the living?
With everyone sticking to their own version of events, even the most upright official would find it difficult to resolve the case.
But something unexpected happened: the constable said, "We didn't find the village chief's remains. Are you sure she's really inside, and that she was burned?"
As soon as the constable said this, everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Besides Da Mei and Da Shuai: "So, you guys, did you tie up my mother and hide her somewhere, wanting us to pay for her ransom?"
It has to be said that Da Mei's reaction speed is really fast.
"Officer, you have the right to judge!" Da Mei cried again, sobbing uncontrollably. "They really are framing us. They killed our mother!"
"Otherwise, how could we not find a single bone?"
Even the constables know a little about coroners; no matter how much a person is burned, there are always some bones that won't turn to ash.
"Go and call the coroner." Since the constables can't find it, let's find a professional to look for it!
