"I heard it, but what's wrong with that?"

Wang Yu had to admit that he had indeed heard it, but he still looked at her with some puzzlement and asked.

Zong Jiyuan looked a little impatient and frowned, gave him a blank look, and said disdainfully,

"Hu Zhenli has never married a wife, he has always lived here alone, and there is no second person in the family."

After speaking, he suddenly raised his voice and yelled,

"Brother Hu! Hu Zhenli! Isn't there?! ”

"Ah...... At! ”

This voice, even Wang Yu beside him was startled, and the house was even more chaotic, although Hu Zhenli's panicked response was immediately heard, but then there was a "crackling" sound of something crashing, about a few minutes later, I saw that his clothes were not too neatly dressed and walked out of the house, trotted into the yard, and said with a shocked face,

"Master, you're really here!"

"Yes, of course I'm going to come over since I said that,"

Zong Jiyuan rode on a horse, jumped over the wall of the courtyard wall and looked at him, a little funny in his heart, and said,

"Brother Hu, what are you doing?"

"Ah, I, I'm a little tired in the morning, so come back and get some sleep and rest......"

As he spoke, Hu Zhenli's face turned red.

When Zong Jiyuan saw it, he felt even more funny, and said in his heart, there will be things waiting for you that make you blush in a while, so he smiled slightly,

"Yes, Brother Hu has really worked hard these days, but the younger brother wants to burn a few pillars of incense for Brother Hu, if only the sister-in-law is alone, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient, can you ask Brother Hu to trouble and lead the two of us over together?"

"Of course you can, this is how it should be, please let the villain into the house and put on more clothes to come out......"

As he spoke, Hu Zhenli turned around and walked back, intending to go back to the house.

At the moment when he just opened the door, Zong Jiyuan estimated that this courtyard was not too big, and the door had been opened at this time, no matter what he said, the people in the house would definitely be able to hear it clearly, so he deliberately raised his voice and said,

"Brother Hu! In the past few days, have you ever had a girl named Manju near your village?! ”

"What ......"

Hearing this, Hu Zhenli was so frightened that he suddenly shuddered.

Zong Jiyuan didn't give him time to react, and continued to say loudly,

"On the way here just now, I saw a very handsome man under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, inquiring! Said that the girl was his fiancée, accidentally got separated, and had been looking for her for several days......"

"This ......"

Hu Zhenli's face turned pale all of a sudden, but before he could say anything, he saw that he had opened half of the door, and with a "bang", it was pushed open, and then a flower-like girl knocked Hu Zhenli aside and rushed out, and flew directly to the front of the courtyard gate.

Wang Yu really felt incredible, looking at Zong Jiyuan in surprise and wanting to laugh, but Zong Jiyuan stared at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him with a calm face.

The girl looked up at the two people outside the wall, and was stunned for a moment, before she said,

"But what you say is true? Is there really anyone waiting for me?! ”

"Of course it's true,"

Zong Jiyuan looked at her slightly, and said with a slight smile,

"Under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, there is really someone waiting for a girl named Mantanghong, if you are called Mantanghong, then he is waiting for you."

It's just that it's not your "fiancé"-

Zong Jiyuan said secretly in his heart.

The girl didn't care about anything, and hurriedly opened the courtyard gate and stumbled towards the entrance of the village.

This sudden change made Hu Zhenli stand there in a daze, and it took a long time before he turned his head blankly, and when his eyes came into contact with Zong Jiyuan and Wang Yu, who were still outside the courtyard gate and standing immediately, his face suddenly turned red, hesitated, and returned to the house.

However, this time the turn back was really fast enough, probably only took a coat, and ran out again, bowing his head and closing the door, Hu Zhenli came to the gate of the courtyard, stood in front of Zong Jiyuan's horse, and said,

"Let me laugh, but please don't get me wrong, that girl was rescued by me three days ago at night......"

"I know."

Zong Jiyuan looked at him sympathetically, and his tone was still very gentle.

Hearing her say this, Hu Zhenli was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking,

"Master, how do you know?"

"Because you Hu brothers have the habit of going home to save women."

Zong Jiyuan said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Hu Zhenli didn't understand at first, but soon his face turned red again, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but he was just stubborn,

"I, I ......"

"It's okay, Brother Hu, don't be nervous,"

As he spoke, Zong Jiyuan jumped off his horse and comforted,

"Actually, I've already found out that girl is hiding with you, but do you know who she is?"

"I heard her say that she was here to join her relatives, but she didn't find relatives, and I saw that she was pitiful, so I ......"

Hu Zhenli still looked embarrassed, and his voice was as low as a mosquito.

Zong Ji Yuan said in his heart, you are really pitiful, so he sighed and said,

"Actually, this woman is a popular girl in Yichun Courtyard in the county, and she is a dusty woman. Three days ago, I was planning to elope with my lover on the night, probably the other party was teasing her, and I didn't go to meet her, but I met you and was rescued by you, a kind person. ”

"Huh?"

Hu Zhenli was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a wry smile,

"No wonder she is so pestering, compared to her sister-in-law's dignified and virtuous lady, it is really much worse...... However, how did you find out that she had fallen to me, Master? ”

"Of course it's in your performance,"

Zong Jiyuan chuckled and said,

"First of all, on the night of Brother Ling's murder, judging from Brother Hu's attitude and behavior towards your eldest brother, Brother Ling is extremely important in your mind, if he is killed, you will definitely rush to the county seat that night, and you should be able to rush to the county office early the next morning to avenge his grievances. And you didn't arrive until near noon, obviously delayed by something that seemed to you to be indispensable.

And on the same night, the girl of Yichun Yuan fled, and the direction of the escape happened to be here, in the middle of the night, and the weather was so cold, there would be no one else on the road at all, and you two for your own reasons, leaving your place at that time, it is very likely to meet, and you are as soft-hearted as Brother Ling, after listening to a few words of crying from your lover, you will naturally take it home, isn't it all logical? ”

"Oh...... yes......"

Hu Zhenli's expression was very lost, and he asked,

"What Master said is not bad at all, in that case, why didn't you break this matter earlier, Master?"
