If I die, my family's incense will be broken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Shan said, \"Zhao Yuanchao, that matter has already been turned over. We are all brothers. Besides, even if Sun Chao didn't say it, I would have confessed truthfully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In that situation, Sun Chao's fear of death was human nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Shan admitted he didn't have the courage to face death.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhao Zhao Yuanchao stared coldly at Sun Chao: \"You can turn over the fact that you betrayed me and Liu Shan, but that person is different. Be careful yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Cao Cao Weiguo never revealed his identity, his skills and financial resources made the three of them fear him from the bottom of their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just this pile of supplies in front of them was beyond their imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just this pile of supplies in front of them could make them disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They were \"bandits\" to begin with, and they knew the dangers in the dark very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There is never a shortage of people in this world who will sell their lives for money!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That person didn't even need to come forward, he just needed to spend money to make them disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Their background had been exposed, and it could be said that their lives were in the hands of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Sihe Academy\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just as Cao Cao Weiguo arrived at the gate of the courtyard, an aunt shouted anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Cao Weiguo, go home and see! Your family's chickens are lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Aunt Xie! I'll go back right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A fire suddenly rose in his heart, and Cao Cao Weiguo walked home with a gloomy face.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this time, the backyard was full of residents, and the three masters were naturally there too.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Cao Weiguo, our family's chickens were stolen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing Cao Cao Weiguo return, Song Song Yulan ran over with tears in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Those two big hens were the treasures she raised for eggs.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo comforted her hurriedly, \"Wife, don't worry, tell me what happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Song Song Yulan wiped her tears and described the situation, and Cao Cao Weiguo's face also became ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just in the time it took to buy vegetables, two chickens were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Clearly, someone was watching their family and stole the chickens with premeditation!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Second Master said seriously, \"We haven't even lost a needle or thread in our courtyard on weekdays, but now two big hens are lost. This is a big deal. We have a thief in our courtyard, a big thief, we must investigate strictly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Third Master said, \"Two big egg-laying hens, they dare to steal such precious things. If we don't catch that thief, how can we live in peace in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yes! Must investigate strictly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Must catch that thief!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Concerned with their own interests, the residents of the courtyard couldn't sit still either.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Today they can steal the chickens of Cao Cao Weiguo's family, tomorrow they can steal everyone's money.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They have to go to work during the day, and they are gone all day, so they are all afraid that their homes will be visited by thieves.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi curled her lip, \"How can you be sure the chickens were stolen? Maybe they ran away themselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Song Song Yulan said anxiously, \"The door of the chicken coop was tied with iron wire, and I checked it specifically when I left. The chickens couldn't have run out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo held Song Song Yulan's hand: \"Wife, you stay at home and watch the scene, I'll go to the police station to report the case.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Cannot report the case!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing that Cao Cao Weiguo was going to report the case, Jia Jia Zhangshi screamed as if pricked by a needle.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The First Master advised, \"Cao Weiguo, family ugliness should not be spread abroad, we can solve the courtyard's affairs ourselves, reporting the case is making a mountain out of a molehill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo sneered, \"Making a mountain out of a molehill? First Master, you are really broad-minded. Two chickens were stolen, and this is a small matter in your eyes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The First Master sighed, \"Cao Weiguo, although the chickens are precious, this concerns the reputation of the courtyard. If it gets out and spreads, how will people outside look at our courtyard in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After this sentence was said, the residents also fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it becomes known outside that there is a thief in the courtyard, the reputation of the entire courtyard will be affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I'm afraid that matchmakers won't want to come to the door in the future, after all, no one wants to live in the same courtyard with a thief.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo looked at the First Master with sharp eyes: \"First Master, what do you mean? Is this matter just going to be settled like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The First Master said, \"Of course it won't be settled, we will definitely investigate with all our strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Investigate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo sneered, \"First Master, if you want to cover it up, then catch the thief now, otherwise I will definitely report the case.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The First Master said with a gloomy face, \"People come and go in the courtyard, this thief is likely an outsider, can I grow wings and fly out to find the thief?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi said hurriedly, \"Yes, this thief must be an outsider, we have never had a thief in our courtyard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo mocked, \"Use your brain when you speak. Not long ago, someone went to my house to steal fish, have you forgotten so soon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi was angry, \"Cao Cao Weiguo, why are you a big man so stingy, remembering a small matter until now, besides, didn't my family pay you money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thinking of the 10 Brother Yuan paid to Cao Cao Weiguo, Jia Jia Zhangshi gritted her teeth with hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although the money was paid by Sha Zhu, Jia Jia Zhangshi always thought that the 10 Brother Yuan was hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo stared at Jia Jia Zhangshi and suspected, \"Jia Jia Zhangshi, ever since I mentioned reporting the case, you have been obstructing it. Do you have a ghost in your heart?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Jia Jia Zhangshi's behavior is very abnormal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"She was shouting so anxiously just now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Could it be that she stole the chickens!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Very likely!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Immediately, the residents also looked at Jia Jia Zhangshi suspiciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Listening to the residents' suspicions and discussions, Jia Jia Zhangshi shouted with a ferocious expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What are you talking about? Wronging an old woman like me, you are not afraid of falling into the tongue-pulling hell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1596,"2026-06-16T06:44:15.824Z","2026-06-17T08:52:03.356Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","bf8a7783802ea55e63eb40d262ec8b66b7df72f3602e8b2042db67c0ef5ac58e","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-71","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-69",843,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-good-life-cover.jpg"]
