The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 163 Why

"It is indeed because Mr. Xie once helped me, and later, we met and talked several times by chance. It is probably because of this that I gave you this illusion. In fact, Mr. Xie and I are really serious. It has nothing to do with it." Han Qianluo explained.

"So that's the case." The official said with a smile, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not.

After that, the official didn't try to talk any more, the room was very quiet, but not long after, an official ran in, knelt on the ground and said, "Report, sir, the prisoner has been caught."

"I'm going to interrogate now, you take her to the court." The official said with a dignified look, and the officer went down after receiving the order, and then the official said to Han Qianluo: "Girl, do you want to go there?" See who the culprit is?"

Han Qianluo had been waiting here for so long, naturally he wanted to see who the murderer was, so he stood up and saluted, "Thank you sir." Then he went out with the official.

Han Qianluo came to the court, and before she walked in, she saw the tied up man kneeling there. It turned out to be Chu Zhen. She was surprised at the same time, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was not unexpected. It is normal to find someone to tarnish Li Chunhua's innocence, and to do such a thing now.

Han Qianluo didn't go in, but just stood at the door of the courtroom and watched her being tried.Chu Zhen did not admit that she killed the person, until she saw the evidence, she had no choice but to bow her head and admit it.

After that, Chu Zhen was taken down by the officials and locked up. She never looked back from the beginning to the end, so naturally she didn't know that Han Qianluo was standing behind her watching her being tried.

After Chu Zhen was suppressed, Han Qianluo still had a lot of things she didn't understand, so she walked over and asked the lord respectfully: "My lord, I have some doubts in my mind, can you let me ask her?"

"Okay, you can take her there." The adult said casually pointing to a yamen servant next to him.

After Han Qianluo thanked him, he followed the yamen servant to the prison. The yamen servant seemed to be a chatterbox. As soon as he left the adult's sight, he started talking and asked curiously: "Miss Han, did you hear that You have a very good relationship with Master Xie, I also heard that you are the wife of Master Xie who has never married, is it true?"

Han Qianluo was very glad that he didn't drink or eat now, otherwise he would have choked to death. What this yamen servant said was too horrifying and ridiculous.

Because she was too surprised, she didn't answer for a while. Seeing that she didn't speak, the yamen servant continued: "I heard that there are many noble ladies who like Master Xie very much, and they are all vying to marry him, but Master Xie doesn't care about those Women are always dismissive."

"You made a mistake. Mr. Xie and I are just ordinary friends, and we have nothing to do with each other." Han Qianluo quickly explained to prevent them from continuing to misunderstand.

The yamen servant was surprised when he transferred this time. He looked back at Han Qianluo and said, "How can Master Xie be so kind to an ordinary friend?" The yamen servant paused and continued, "Although the old lady hates Master Xie, He was not allowed to have the surname Xiao, and he was not allowed to be like a family tree, but the rest of the family dotes on him very much, and no matter what request they have, they will be granted."

Although the yamen servant said a long list of words, Han Qianluo only noticed one thing, that is the surname Xiao mentioned by the yamen servant. She only knew one surname Xiao, and that was Xiao He, so she interrupted and asked, "The Xiao family you are talking about?" , is it Xiao He’s family from the previous Xiangguo?”

"It's not the Prime Minister for a long time, and he has been named Marquis." The yamen servant said enviously.

While talking, the two had already walked into the prison. The yamen servant Tong who was guarding the prison greeted him, and then continued to walk in with Han Qianluo.There were a lot of prisoners in the prison, and all the prisoners became interested when they saw Han Qianluo. Some prisoners just stared at her, and some bold ones even made teasing remarks.

Han Qianluo ignored them, and walked forward behind the yamen servant, until she reached the innermost point before stopping. Needless to say, she also knew that she had reached the place, and Chu Zhen was locked in here.

There were obviously fewer prisoners inside than outside, so it seemed a lot quieter. Chu Zhen was locked in a cell by himself, sitting on the haystack with his head down very quietly, without any noise or noise. .

"Girl, it's here. If you have anything to say, just say it. I'm going out." The yamen servant went out after speaking, without opening the door of the cell.

The voice of the yamen servant made Chu Zhen look up. Seeing that Han Qianluo was also calm, she was not panicked or embarrassed. She stood up and walked to the door and said, "Qianluo, you know everything, right?"

"Why?" Han Qianluo asked puzzled, "I know you like big brother, but there's no need to do that?"

After knowing that the murderer was Chu Zhen, she didn't respond to anger, and she herself felt a little strange about it. She thought she would be very angry, or wanted to avenge Li Chunhua, but in fact she didn't. She was very calm, as if Li Chunhua is just a stranger she doesn't know, this feeling is very strange.

Chu Zhen looked at her, still talking in a low voice as usual, very quiet, but this was just a look, she still said softly: "She is not worthy of Brother Qingquan."

"So you killed her?" Han Qianluo couldn't understand why he killed her for such a simple reason.

Fortunately, Chu Zhen denied it, she shook her head and said, "Of course not, I didn't intend to do this at first, but their family is too much, and it is a great blessing to be able to be Qingquan's wife , how could she do such an excessive thing." Chu Zhen seemed very excited when he said this.

Han Qianluo didn't understand the so-called excessive things in her mouth, and nothing special happened during this period, that is, Li Chunhua was pregnant: "Do you mean that Chunhua is pregnant with a child?"

"Think about what their family did after Chunhua became pregnant?" Chu Zhen said angrily.

Han Qianluo remembered very clearly what happened during this period. Li asked them to serve her daughter like their ancestors. Although she was also very angry about this, it was not serious enough to kill someone. , and it was always Li Shi who made the request, not Li Chunhua.

"But even if this is the case, it's her mother, Li Shi, who is going too far, not Chunhua." Han Qianluo said.

But Chu Zhen said as it should: "If there is no Li Chunhua, then these things would not exist."

Seeing Chu Zhen's expression, Han Qianluo suddenly realized that these were just excuses, and the real reason was because he and she liked her eldest brother, so they were jealous.So she sighed and said, "If you like Big Brother, why don't you let the matchmaker do the matchmaking instead of doing something like this?"

After hearing this question, Chu Zhen did not answer immediately, but lowered her head and pinched the hem of her clothes. Just when Han Qianluo thought she would not answer, she finally whispered, "If Brother Qingquan likes it, She will naturally find a matchmaker to come to my house, if Qingquan doesn't like me, it's useless for me to beg for nothing."

Han Qianluo was really speechless about this. She didn't understand what Chu Zhenxin was thinking at all. Obviously, they were not from the same world, and their thoughts were completely different, because she didn't intend to continue wasting time here , turned around and left this dark place.

After leaving here, Han Qianluo went back. Just as he walked back to Qianyangli, he saw a woman from the same village. The woman greeted her loudly when she saw her: "Qianluo, you just came back from the street?"

"Yes."

"The murderer who drowned Mrs. Han in the well has been found. You can't think of who it is," the woman said mysteriously, and continued without waiting for an answer, "It turned out to be Chu Zhen from the Chu family. imagined."

"How did you know?" Han Qianluo didn't understand why so many people knew about it.

"Today, the official sent someone to arrest someone, and now everyone probably knows about it." The woman left after finishing speaking.

Sure enough, on the way back, she met several people, who all told her about it.When Han Qianluo returned home, the gate of the yard was still locked. She took out the key and opened the door. There was no one in the yard, and it was too quiet.

Back home, Han Qianluo found out the design drawings that had been shelved for a long time, and continued with the previous work. She felt that she still liked such things rather than manual work.

In the middle of the afternoon, Han Qingquan finally came back. As soon as he walked through the gate, Han Qianluo asked about the smell of alcohol on his body. It was obvious that he had been drinking, and he drank a lot.

"Brother, have you been drinking?" Han Qianluo quickly stood up, walked over and helped Han Qingquan, who was already walking unsteadily, to a chair and sat down, then hurriedly went to the kitchen to find a small quilt, poured a cup of vinegar and took it out : "Brother, drink this, hangover."

Han Qingquan was obedient, picked up the cup and drank the vinegar in it, put down the cup and replied: "The adult I went to meet this year likes to drink, there is no way to avoid it, so I have to drink with him." Head, seems to be a little tired.

Seeing him like this, Han Qianluo quickly said, "Brother, if you are tired, go to sleep for a while."

"No, I'll be fine after a while." Han Qingquan waved his hands and said, then stopped talking.Han Qianluo glanced at him and continued to draw after making sure that there was nothing unusual.

Every time Han Qianluo drew a picture, she would be immersed in it, unaware of the passage of time, and this time was no exception. She was so engrossed in drawing that she didn't even realize that the sun had set.

"Three sisters."
