Chapter 183: Bitter Decision

In the opinion of Zhao Xin, who was in turmoil, once Li Hongyu was told about the marriage contract, the friendship between the two would be wiped out, and Li Hongyu would definitely think that she had already known about the marriage contract, so she approached him with a purpose, otherwise she would not have waited for Li Hongyu to take the Zhongxiang test to solve the yuan before telling him about the marriage letter, then she would become a selfish villain in Li Hongyu's eyes.

Besides, Zhao Xin knew that Qin Yue had a deep affection for Li Hongyu, how could she snatch love with a knife? How to let the outside world look at her, Li Hongyu and Qin Yue at that time!

"Dad, I want to solve this matter by myself, don't interfere." Without waiting for Zhao Deyi to speak, Zhao Xin, who was in a mess, stood up suddenly, and hurriedly left with the marriage book and jade pendant in his hand.

"Alas!" Looking at Zhao Xin, who was fleeing in the wilderness, Zhao Deyi couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, feeling remorse for his previous regret of marriage, if it weren't for him, Zhao Xin would not have experienced the terrible situation in front of him.

According to the current situation, Li Hongyu's approach is correct, not letting Zhao Xin know that he already knows about the marriage book is a kind of protection for Zhao Xin, otherwise Zhao Xin will definitely choose to dodge, and then this family affair will really be yellow.

Although Zhao Deyi was reluctant to admit it, Li Hongyu's judgment of Zhao Xin's attitude on the marriage contract was obviously stronger than him, but he didn't expect that Li Hongyu would be able to understand Zhao Xin in just one year, which was really beyond his expectations.

However, Zhao Deyi also breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Zhao Xin was not a person who gave up easily, since he chose to hide from Li Hongyu, then he would definitely follow Li Hongyu's side to help him, so that the matter between the two would be a matter of course, and the sharing of weal and woe between the two would undoubtedly eliminate the barrier in Zhao Xin's heart.

Zhao Xin ran back to her room in one breath, closed the door and lay on the bed looking at the roof in a daze, her excitement was difficult to calm down for a long time, the news that Zhao Deyi told her today was too shocking, and it set off a storm in her heart.

It stands to reason that Zhao Xin should be happy, but she only has sadness in her heart now, because she really has no way to explain the marriage letter to Li Hongyu, and any justification looks so pale and weak.

It was not until this time that Zhao Xin understood that Old Man Zhao did not accidentally "throw" her and Zhao Deyi to Baihe Town, he must have wanted Zhao Deyi to understand a matter in his heart, and she could see that the regret of marriage had a great impact on Zhao Deyi's psychology.

Zhao Xin felt that she should apologize to Old Man Zhao, Old Man Zhao did not abandon her and Zhao Deyi, he brought the two to Baihe Town with good intentions, not only to relieve Zhao Deyi's demons but also to make her know the truth of the matter, so that she would not be kept in the dark for the rest of her life.

"Four years!" After a long time, Zhao Xinzhu's lips were lightly opened, and two words slowly spit out in his mouth, and the expression on his face looked extremely sad.

Since she couldn't explain the marriage letter to Li Hongyu, she naturally couldn't make a move to compete with Qin Yue for a man, so the only way to do this was to fulfill Qin Yue and Li Hongyu, and leave when Li Hongyu was weak and married Qin Yue, and there were about four years before that.

At this moment, Zhao Xin couldn't have imagined that she had fallen in love with Li Hongyu, and the marriage matter had actually been perfectly resolved.

Early the next morning, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin rushed to the county seat by carriage, and there were two days left before the agreed time with Yang He to solve the case, so the two had to hurry up and sort out the latest evidence.

It is worth mentioning that under Yang He's heavy reward, the official of the county government received a report from the people, and found out from the village where a florist was located that a young man was not in the village on the night of Miss Zhang's death.

Since the place where the young man lived was on the edge of the village, few people knew about his absence that night, and if it weren't for the sake of the one hundred taels of silver, it was estimated that no one would care about this idle matter, after all, the villagers in the big hometown did not look up and look down, and no one wanted to offend people as a bird.

But with the one hundred taels of silver, it is different, under the lure of such a large sum of money, those who know will lose their scruples, and then tell what they know.

Judging from the outcome of the matter alone, Yang He's reward was undoubtedly successful, and he found the information that Li Hongyu needed, although the young man now insisted that he had gone to the casino in the town that night.

However, according to the testimony of local villagers, the young man did not return home until the afternoon of the next day, and the town gambled that it would close in the morning.

In addition, the young man did not have the habit of gambling before, he was born in poverty, where did he have spare money to waste in the casino, and if he was a gambler, Meng Shi would not provoke him, if Li Hongyu did not guess wrong, I am afraid that the money to buy wine and food was given by Meng Shi.

Therefore, Li Hongyu believed that the young man did not go to the casino in the town, but went to the melon field of Meng Shi's house to drink with him, but was drunk by Meng Shi and invisibly became Meng Shi's stand-in and slept in the grass shed.

"Brother Zhao, didn't you sleep well yesterday, and the dark circles under your eyes came out."

In the driving carriage, Li Hongyu, who was talking about the case with Zhao Xin, suddenly changed his voice, looked at Zhao Xin, who looked a little haggard, with a smile and said, in fact, from the first time he saw Zhao Xin today, he knew that Zhao Xin must have lost sleep last night, and he felt quite sorry for this.

"I was so happy yesterday that I slept a little late." Zhao Xin smiled slightly when she heard this, and said perfunctorily quietly, but she squinted for a while when it was almost dawn, and now although she was in a low mood, she still had to pretend to be casual.

"Brother Zhao, I thought of a way to get Meng Shi to take the initiative to confess."

Li Hongyu could naturally see the loneliness in Zhao Xin's eyes, and his heart was even more uncomfortable, so he smiled and led the topic to the case, which could distract Zhao Xin and make Zhao Xin get rid of the trouble of divorce.

"Oh?" Zhao Xin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Zhao, tell me what method you have come up with?" ”

Li Hongyu smiled, leaned over to Zhao Xin's ear, and whispered a few words in her ear, which made Zhao Xin nod again and again, and a look of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face.

Because he was very close to Zhao Xin, Li Hongyu not only clearly smelled the fragrance on Zhao Xin's body, but also Zhao Xin's snow-white neck was presented in front of her at a glance, which made him feel a little angry and bloody for a while, and felt a little uneasy.

No wonder Zhao Xin likes to use that fragrant incense powder, who would have thought that she would be a woman, and she is also Li Hongyu's official fiancée.

"Brother Li, this is a wonderful idea!" How did Zhao Xin know that Li Hongyu already knew about the marriage contract, and when Li Hongyu finished speaking, he couldn't help but say to Li Hongyu happily, and then thought of something Liu Mei frowned suddenly, "But will he be fooled?" ”

"Don't worry, I have a killer weapon, and he will definitely fall for us at that time." Li Hongyu smiled disappreciatively, leaned over and whispered in Zhao Xin's ear again, causing Zhao Xin's eyes to appear surprised.

"Did that work?" After Li Hongyu finished speaking, Zhao Xin asked a little suspiciously, it was the first time she had heard what Li Hongyu told her.

"It shouldn't disappoint us." Li Hongyu smiled and nodded, although he had never used that kind of thing, but its name was very famous, and it must be able to meet his requirements.

"It seems that Shen Shaoqiang should not be killed this time, if he hadn't met you, he wouldn't have been able to get out of this case."

Zhao Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and looked at Li Hongyu with a smile, I have to say that Li Hongyu is indeed very good at investigating the case, in just three days, he not only found Meng Shi but also had a way to deal with him, no wonder the bloody case of Mingyue Pavilion would be solved by him, and if he was someone else, he would definitely be helpless.

"Even if Shen Shaoqiang can escape this catastrophe, he will suffer the torment of conscience in the future." Li Hongyu couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, feeling sorry for Shen Shaoqiang and Miss Zhang.

Hearing this, Zhao Xin was slightly stunned, and the look in her eyes became even more gloomy and lonely, in fact, her situation was much better than Shen Shaoqiang? That paper engagement had tormented her now.

Li Hongyu noticed the change in Zhao Xin's face, and suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart, and the corners of his mouth squirmed a few times to tell Zhao Xin the truth, but in the end he couldn't speak.

If Zhao Xin is an ordinary girl, then Li Hongyu will definitely tell Zhao Xin the truth, but Zhao Xin is a talented and arrogant woman, this kind of girl usually has a strong sense of self-esteem, if he says it, the effect can only backfire, making this matter a demon of Zhao Xin.

Therefore, Li Hongyu decided to hide this matter, and he wanted to let time resolve Zhao Xin's heart disease.

When they arrived at the county government office in Qingyuan County, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin immediately interrogated the suspicious young man who had been found out by the commissioners, a sturdy young man in his twenties, who was taken into the torture room by the jailers in panic, and this was the first time he had been interrogated since he was arrested.

"Do you know why I brought you here?" Li Hongyu glanced at the young man with a nervous expression and asked quietly.

"Back to the master, the villain doesn't know." The young man's body trembled for a moment, and he replied honestly.

"You should know that Miss Zhang's case has alarmed the governor, so the murderer will definitely be severely punished."

Li Hongyu stared at the young man for a while, and said with a serious expression, "Ben Xie Yuan will tell you the truth, Miss Zhang was killed by Meng Shi, once the yamen finds out that you lied, then you will become an accomplice at that time, not only will you be cut off but your family will also be implicated!" ”

"Solution...... Master Xie Yuan, little ...... The little ones are telling the truth, and that night is indeed ...... Indeed in the casino of the town. Hearing this, fine beads of sweat suddenly oozed from his forehead, and he stammered back.

"That's the case, so you tell Ben Jieyuan, where did you go after leaving the casino? The people of the village can confirm that you didn't return home until the next afternoon! Seeing that the young man's mood was in turmoil, Li Hongyu decided to strike while the iron was hot, so his face sank and he shouted.
