Fang Quan suggested again, "Then let's walk around the village and do some digging to see if we can find out any information."
Gao Ziling remained silent, which meant that he agreed with Fang Quan's idea.
Since people in the village didn't know Fang Qun and Yun Luqing very well, when Fang Quan asked about Widow Zhang, not many people were willing to tell them.
Fang Quan resorted to the most primitive method, which was to bribe the villagers with money to see what the villagers said.
This method was indeed effective. "Two Four Seven" Fang Quan heard a shocking news from an uncle, that is: Widow Zhang did have a sweetheart before she got married.
This person is Gao Xuanling, a very famous sculptor in the village.
Fang Quan was very excited when he heard the news and thought: How could such a famous person get involved with a widow?
The old man told Fang Quan that when Gao Xuanling was young, he had superb skills in art, and the widow Zhang he liked was not married at the time and was a maiden.
The two people loved each other, but later, for unknown reasons, the widow Zhang married a sick man from the village - Fan Da.
Fan Da was not a particularly good-tempered person, but also very irritable. He was already physically ill. Every time Widow Zhang did not go as he wanted, he would beat Widow Zhang.
Widow Zhang escaped several times but failed. Later she was caught and beaten even more severely.
Over time, Widow Zhang accepted her fate and served Fan Tian fearfully every day.
Just three years ago, Fan Da died suddenly one night due to his worsening condition. Widow Zhang was relieved.
Yun Luqing put forward the clues to the matter, "Then after Fan Da died, didn't Widow Zhang marry anyone else?"
The old man also felt that Widow Zhang was a little pitiful, and said: "You may not know that there is a rule in our village that as long as a widower stays for three years, she can get ten payments of compensation."
"The village will give this money to Widow Zhang, but Widow Zhang is still one month away from getting the money. Now that she is dead, everyone will think of this. Widow Zhang's death must be related to this money.
Listening to the old man's narration, Fang Quan found the direction, which was to investigate who owned the money of Widow Zhang?
The old man told Fang Quan that all this money was in the hands of a highly respected person in our village, that is Old Man Gao.
Old Man Gao was the old man who said that Yun Luqing was a disaster when the two of them first arrived at the hotel.
Fang Quan and Yun Luqing were both a little embarrassed when they heard that it was the old man.
What should we do next? Fang Quan thought that he had to face the difficulty, otherwise how could he find the answer?
Fang Quan and Yun Luqing then thought of someone who could help, that was Gao Ziling.
The three people came to Uncle Gao's residence. Uncle Gao looked at Gao Ziling and asked angrily: "Little grandson, why are you involved with these two people? They are not good people?"
Gao Ziling said with a smile: "Grandpa, we are investigating a case. Anyone who can help the case is a good person..."
After listening to his grandson's words, Old Man Gao said nonchalantly: "Well, if you have anything to say, just ask. I know and I will definitely tell you."
Gao Ziling made a gesture of invitation to Fang Quan, and Fang Quan said politely, "Grandpa Gao, I want to know where the widow's money that Widow Zhang can receive is?"
Uncle Gao looked at Fang Quan with focused eyes: "This is the secret of our village, how can you know it? Tell me, who are you?"
Fang Quan comforted Mr. Gao and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I got this news after asking around."
Old Man Gao then let down his guard slightly and said, "This money is still in the village. Let me show you the account book here."
After speaking 3.2, Mr. Gao took out a thick account book from the cabinet, flipped through it, and finally turned to the page of Widow Zhang, and said, "Look, Widow Zhang can get the money in 20 days." .”
Gao Ziling himself also raised a question, "Grandpa, what era are we in now? How can we still be widowed?"
"Our village has simple folk customs and has maintained such unwritten rules for many years. This is probably one of the reasons why our village is often called an ancient village.
