Chapter 444: Honesty

I ......"

Li Xun paused, "It doesn't seem like this is the time to talk about this. ”

"Anyway, it's hiding here and can't leave, so why talk about it? Do you have to bathe and change clothes, burn incense and pray for blessings before you can speak? Mei Qingqian became stubborn, she didn't want to wait, she didn't want to have any more variables, no matter what his identity was, no matter who was chasing him, she just wanted to find out.

Li Xun sighed faintly, "I don't actually call Li Xun, it should be the other way around, Xun Li, Xun and Li in the gossip." ”

Mei Qingqian was stunned, Xun Li, it sounded a little familiar, but it was very vague in the memory of her predecessor, and she couldn't remember it for a while.

"It's a national teacher who died not long ago."

Mei Qingqian held her down, "You can't go, you've only known her for a few days, and it's inconvenient for you to come forward." ”

"But......" Zheng Ya hesitated.

"You look at the situation outside, in case the county order is unfair, you can still move the rescue soldiers in time, right?" Mei Qingqian said.

Zheng Ya listened to these words and didn't insist anymore.

Mei Qingqian walked into the court, and Zhou Xianling recognized her at a glance and felt a headache.

"Mei, why are you again?" He asked with a cold face.

If another person is ordered by the county to drink like this, he will inevitably be nervous, but unfortunately Mei Qingqian's body is straight, her steps are calm, and she walked to the middle of the court without hurrying.

"Back to my lord, I have a business cooperation with He Shuhuan, and I heard that Du Yuanwai kidnapped her because he coveted our business, how can I stand idly by?"

Mei Qingqian said without humility or arrogance, "Fortunately, I also came to testify to He Shuhuan, she is very talented in calligraphy, and she has been appreciated by literati and celebrities, and she has successfully redeemed herself and regained her freedom." ”

"Her family was convicted, it was not what she wanted, and she was powerless to change it, but she obviously relied on her talent and her own efforts to get out of the quagmire, which was originally a commendable thing, but the world likes to look at people with prejudice, is there no one who is clear-sighted?"

She was loud and spoke to people outside.

He Shuhuan has been enduring the sadness in his heart, and finally couldn't help it at this moment, tears burst and slipped down his cheeks.

It was quiet outside, Mei Qing's words were sonorous, and justice Ling Ran made those who talked about others at will, and didn't know how to discriminate against He Shuhuan.

Even if some people don't fully agree with her statement in their hearts, they don't dare to talk out loud anymore.

Mei Qingqian looked at Zhou Xianling again, "Even if he is a criminal, he has to be allowed to live a normal life after his release from prison, right?" Soon He Shuhuan was just associated, and she had been paid off all these years, and now she is doing business as she should be, why can't she be protected like an ordinary businessman? ”

"When did the official question her identity, and when did he say that he didn't protect her?" Zhou County Ling said.

Mei Qingqian was not in a hurry, saluted respectfully, and said: "The women believe that adults are fair and honest, and they will definitely be able to uphold justice for He Shuhuan, but they are afraid that prejudice will harm people, so they are more excited." ”

She took a step back and slowed down in her tone, "It's the people's women who are caring for their friends, please continue." ”

Master Zhou looked at He Shuhuan again and asked, "You said that Du Yuanwai put you under house arrest, is there any evidence?" ”

"Du Yuanwai sent someone to take back the shop, unless I go to Zhuangzi outside the town to renegotiate the lease with him, I thought that the sky was bright and the sun was bright, and there would be no danger, but I knew that after I went, I was tied up and locked up by Du Yuanwai."

He Shuhuan said and rolled up his sleeves and showed his wrist to Lord Zhou.

When Mr. Zhou looked at it, he saw that there was a bruise on her wrist, which seemed to be a bruise tied with hemp rope.

He motioned for him to take a good look.

Then he said to He Shuhuan: "After that, how did you escape?" ”

"Du Yuanwai forced me to agree to be his outer chamber, and gave him the molecule of my cooperation with Xiao Qian, just let me contact Xiao Qian in the future. Naturally, I won't agree, I won't do it in the outer room, otherwise I'm sorry for my father's hard teaching, and I'm sorry for Du Yuanwai, who is also a woman. ”

He Shuhuan continued: "My cooperation with Xiaoqian cannot be allowed to others, otherwise it will be dishonest to others. I didn't agree, so Du Yuanwai asked him to lock me up, saying that I would agree sooner or later, and even let his housekeeper keep insulting and insulting me. ”

The people outside listened very carefully, and the people who were good at it were speculating whether He Shuhuan had been taken advantage of.

"I thought about running away, but there is a courtyard in Zhuangzi, and I was tied hand in hand, where did I run away from them? Fortunately, a knight passed by and happened to witness my arrest, and managed to rescue me last night and send me outside the city gate. ”

"It's a pity that he refused to give his name and left in the blink of an eye." He Shuhuan couldn't stop crying, "If it weren't for Engong, I'm afraid I'm ...... now"

Mei Qingqian patted her shoulder lightly and said comfortingly: "Sister Huan, don't be sad, the adults will definitely make decisions for you, and they will not let any more people do anything wrong." ”

Lord Zhou glanced at Mei Qingqian, how did he think that this woman was digging a hole for him, saying that he was fair and honest, in fact, it was implying that he could not show favoritism, otherwise he would not be a good official.

He was a little worried, Du Yuanwai did have some kinship with him, and he also knew that Du Yuanwai was a person, and what He Shuhuan said, Du Yuanwai couldn't do it.

Zhou Xianling sighed in his heart, speaking of which, Du Yuanwai is actually not related to him, but this relationship is closer than relatives.

In the early years, her father and mother encountered bandits in the northwest, and the two were separated in the chaos, and his mother was rescued by a husband and wife, hid her, protected her safety, and helped her find a husband.

Zhou County's mother is a person who knows how to be grateful, and this kindness is decades.

And Du Yuanwai's father and mother were not in good health, and they died one after another shortly after Du Yuanwai got married. Du Yuanwai's mother took Zhou County's Lingniang's hand before she died and entrusted Du Yuanwai to her.

Zhou Xianling is a filial son again, plus his mother hurt her body when she gave birth to her, she fell ill, and she is always sick when she is old, so he doesn't dare to be angry with her mother.

So the previous incident of Du Yuanwai forcibly robbing the women of the good family was suppressed, and his mother said that it was better for her to have no face to see the dead Du family couple.

Zhou County Ling also knew that this should not be the case, but in the end, didn't the woman's family take the money and move away? No one wants to sue Du Yuanwai, what can he do?

What's more, he really can't bear to let his mother get sick again.

But this time is different, He Shuhuan is not like the previous woman who was afraid of ruining her reputation and couldn't get married, she would rather swallow her anger and calm down.

He Shuhuan is obviously out of the way, not afraid of being ridiculed, let alone ruining his reputation.

"Bring the defendant, along with his butler." Lord Zhou had a headache and commanded Lu Guancha.

"Yes." Lu Guancha saluted, and then took the two people and strode away.

Mei Qingqian noticed him, and said in her heart that this big brother is very imposing now, and he is a little leader.

Because it took time to bring the defendant into custody, and it happened that the defendant also came, Zhou County ordered him to have his injuries examined.

He Shuhuan stepped forward to check He Shuhuan's wrist, and his brows furrowed.
