Famous peasant girl has a little field

Chapter 206 Suspicion
Just after breakfast, Han Mei asked Shen Xiaoyu to rest. She took the bowl to the yard to wash, and when she arrived in the yard, she heard a knock on the door. Han Mei asked, "Who?"

The outsider said: "I'm from the Changsheng County Government, come to ask about Liu Yuhu's case."

Han Mei put down the bowl, went to open the courtyard door, and saw two officials standing in front of the door with knives on their waists, and Zhou Pu with red eyes standing behind them.

Seeing Han Mei open the door, Zhou Pu introduced to the two officials: "This is Han Mei, the widow of Shen Hongxuan, the eldest son of the Shen family. There are two 12-year-old children in the family. Now Wen Lang is going to take the provincial examination. Only she and her daughter are at home. .”

The official almost nodded, and saw that although Han Mei was wearing coarse clothes, she was clean and tidy. Fear of missing out on any possibility.

One of the officials said: "Mrs. Shen, Zhou's eldest son Liu Yuhu was killed last night. Where were you at that time? Did you hear any strange noises? Did you see any suspicious people?"

Han Mei shook her head, "Yesterday I had too much wine at the chief's house, and fell asleep when I came back. I slept until this morning, and I didn't hear any strange sounds, and I didn't see any suspicious people."

The officer was stunned when he heard the words, "You went to Zhou's house yesterday?"

Han Mei nodded and looked at Zhou Pu.Zhou Pu hurriedly said: "Yesterday morning, Han Mei came to my house to discuss with me about buying a house and building a house, and also wanted to buy the mountain in the back. Because the matter is too big and I can't make decisions by myself, I went to the Yamen, the same county. Grandpa discussed this matter, but because he came back late, he didn't come to talk to Han Mei about it yesterday."

The other officer who didn't speak was surprised when he heard the words: "No wonder I saw you at the county government yesterday, but I was discussing this matter with the county magistrate."

Zhou Pu nodded, then turned to Han Mei and said, "Yesterday I went to the county government office and talked to my lord about it. It's very important for your lord to know that you want to buy the mountain land. I ordered my master to bring people over to measure the size of the land and the mountain in two days. My lord also said that you are a man who died for the country, and the imperial court has an order to buy land that can be reduced or exempted, so you don't have to worry about it."

Han Mei was delighted to hear that, she thought that Zhou Pu would make things difficult for herself when what happened yesterday, but she didn't expect him to finish the matter well, maybe Zhou Pu didn't know what Zhou Pu's wife did with her son and daughter-in-law yesterday .

I thanked Zhou Pu, and said a few words of praise to the county magistrate.

Seeing that Han Mei's family had a widowed mother and a daughter, the two official messengers politely bid farewell to Han Mei and prepared to leave.

However, before Han Mei closed the door, a woman's cry came from not far away, "Master Guancha, you have to make decisions for me, my man died unjustly, you can't let the murderer go."

Zhou Pu wiped his tears again when he heard the words, and said to Wang who ran over and knelt on the ground: "What are you crying about here? The messenger will naturally catch the real culprit."

But Wang said: "Elder-in-law, you don't know that Yuhu was killed by that girl of Han Mei's family. You can't be fooled by that mother and son."

Zhou Pu's daughter-in-law also rushed over, following Wang's words: "My eldest daughter-in-law is right, Hu'er was killed by Shen Xiaoyu, she dared to kill her own uncle, so naturally she dared to kill our Hu'er."

Zhou Pu said angrily: "Why are you talking nonsense here? Xiaoyu is a child, why did you kill our Hu'er? I know Hu'er is dead and you are sad, but revenge for Hu'er is not just killing someone randomly. How can Hu'er rest in peace by preventing the messenger from handling the case and letting the real culprit go?"
