There was a little silence in the door, and then the woman hesitated,

"If that's the case, then please come in."

With the sound of the words, the door latch sounded, and the two doors were slowly opened a gap that was not too big, but it was enough for Zong Jiyuan, who was outside the door, to see the woman standing in the door timidly.

quickly looked at her, and saw that this Zhang Guizhen was really beautiful, and this heavy filial piety at this time was even more touching and lovable. It's just that what makes Zong Jiyuan feel strange is that he didn't see Hu Zhenli's figure, and he didn't hear the sound of other people in the house.

It stands to reason that even if he has been separated, but now his brother who is so kind to him has just passed away, and the brother should keep a vigil for him day and night, not to mention that Zong Jicai often comes to harass him, how can he leave his sister-in-law alone at home?

Suspicious in his heart, Zong Jiyuan had already walked into the courtyard with Wang Yu, deliberately looked at the mourning hall in the main room, and looked at Zhang Guizhen again.

"Xiao Sheng, if you guess correctly, you are Gui Zhen's sister-in-law, right? Excuse me, what's going on here, and who are you giving filial piety to? What about Big Brother Hu, where is he? ”

It's better not to ask, this question, Zhang Guizhen, who was already sad and sad, couldn't control it anymore, tears couldn't stop flowing out, crying silently,

"Big brother, he is no longer alive, this, this funeral is for the eldest brother......"

"What ......"

Zong Jiyuan carefully observed the woman in front of him who was crying incessantly, and saw that her sadness was by no means pretended, but from the heart, unspeakable mourning, and it seemed that as Hu Zhenli said, this is indeed a very good woman. If this is the case, then the instigator of this tragedy is only that hateful Zongjicai.

Originally, Zong Jiyuan planned to ask Zhang Guizhen in detail about the killing of Hu Zhenli's brother according to the usual procedures, but at this time, seeing that Hu Zhenli was not there, he had an idea, and thought that if he used another method to ask, the effect might be better, so he made a look of shock and asked urgently,

"How could it be...... Big brother, he's dead?! Obviously it was fine not long ago, and I asked my little brother and me to visit the door, why did it take so many days of work, and this person said that it was gone? No wonder, no wonder I dreamed last night, I dreamed that he came to me with his hair scattered and shouted grievances, I thought it was a random dream, but it turned out that the eldest brother really went! He...... How to ......"

Zong Jiyuan said such a lot of words as if they were true, and even Wang Yu, who was accompanying him, was a little creepy when he heard it, and looked at her with straight eyes.

And Zhang Guizhen, a weak woman, was in this situation, so she naturally heard it sad and afraid, and shook her head again and again,

"Yes, yes, big brother, he, he died unjustly......"

"What the hell is going on?"

Zong Jiyuan saw that he had almost done it, and if he went too far, it would be bad for Zhang Guizhen to make a sad transition and break his body, so he softened his voice and said,

"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, if the eldest brother is really wronged, please tell me what happened, as long as you can avenge him, the younger brother will definitely do his best to help your sister-in-law."

"This brother ......"

Zhang Guizhen looked at the strange and beautiful young man in front of her, although she had never met before, but at this moment, she inexplicably felt a sense of security that she could rely on, so she nodded and said,

"Okay, then please go and sit inside, and listen to the little woman tell you in detail."

"Okay, then let's go in."

The three of them came to the side room together, Zhang Guizhen made hot tea for the two, and then sat down opposite Zong Jiyuan and Wang Yu.

At this time, although she was still trembling, it was obvious that her gaze seemed to be much firmer, and she looked at Zong Ji Yuancai again,

"Actually, if you can avenge the eldest brother, the little girl will have no regrets even if she dies, but she is afraid that she will affect the uncle and the family......"

"Sister-in-law, it's still the same sentence, you don't have to worry,"

Zong Jiyuan comforted in a very soft voice,

"As long as you tell me the details, I promise that you will not be harmed."

"Okay, then I'll say ......"

Zhang Guizhen nodded vigorously, and briefly explained the process of Zong Jicai's door-to-door provocation and even extortion, and the content was basically the same as what Hu Zhenli said.

Zong Jiyuan listened as he nodded slowly and said,

"Well, what happened the night before? How did that Zongji kill his eldest brother? ”

"...... the night before yesterday"

Speaking of the sad part, Zhang Guizhen couldn't help but tremble again and choked up,

At that time, it was almost the third watch, and the little woman and her husband had cleaned up the yard and were about to rest, when that Zongji suddenly came and knocked on the door vigorously, and at the same time kept scolding some ugly words. The eldest brother couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked me to stay in the house and not go out, and he got dressed himself and went out to the door to reason with the animal. The little woman was so frightened that she had to hide here.

Later, I heard the eldest brother and Na Zong Ji Cai quarrel, the more they quarreled, the more fierce they became, until they kept arguing into the courtyard, and finally they heard the sound of something crashing, and the surroundings fell silent, and after a while, that Zong Ji Cai ran out of the gate, and when I came out of the house, I went into the courtyard to see that the eldest brother's head had hit the stone mill and he was already dead......

"In this way, you didn't see the process of the case, sister-in-law, did you?"

Zong Jiyuan listened, thought for a while and asked.

Zhang Guizhen nodded, but explained,

"Although I didn't see it clearly when it was dark, I am very familiar with the voice of Zong Jicai's animal, he must have beaten his eldest brother to death, this will definitely not be wrong."

"Okay, I know, don't worry, sister-in-law, the grievances of the eldest brother will definitely get Zhaoxue,"

After Zong Jiyuan comforted her a few words, he looked around again,

"However, where is the second brother Hu Zhenli? At this time, he should keep a vigil for his eldest brother. ”

"Oh, uncle,"

Zhang Guizhen wiped her tears and said,

"Uncle has been busy with the front and back, this mourning hall is also he looking for someone to help decorate it, and said that he wants to find a way to avenge the eldest brother, just went out not long ago, saying that there is something to do at home. By the way, we don't live together......"

"That's right,"

Zong Jiyuan nodded and said,

"Okay, sister-in-law, don't be too sad, it's better to take care of your health, the matter of avenging your eldest brother will have results in the next few days, you just close the door and listen to the news at home with peace of mind." The two of us took our leave. ”

After speaking, he stood up with Wang Yu.

Zhang Guizhen hurriedly got up to see him off, and when the two of them left the courtyard, the gate was closed tightly again......
