"Below is Su Zhen, the official government will send someone later, and if you have any grievances, you can tell them directly. Don't be afraid to say it out of fear, but do your best to speak up and get back what you deserve! ”

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, thank you, sir! You're such a good man! ”

"Our grievances and wrongs can finally have a place to speak!"

"yes, I was so aggrieved before!"

Seeing their tears in their eyes, their hands trembled and wiped their tears, and they knelt down to thank them, Su Zhen hurriedly retreated to the side, and sideways helped up an old man in the front.

"Old man, don't be like this, in short, believe in the law and believe in justice! The court will definitely protect you, and the wicked will be punished! Pay the price for your guilt and never let them go unpunished! ”

"yes, yes! Folks, hurry up! Everyone go back and rest, prepare your words and wait for the people from the government to come, so that you can be given justice. ”

After thanking the villagers, they left one after another, and one of the old men patted He Lan on the shoulder and told him to be careful that Huang Yi came to make trouble again.

Jingyao moved to Su Zhen's side and said, "Su Zhen, you don't seem to be the same as rumored." ”

"Do you think I'm going to kill Huang Yi and those people on impulse?"

"Hmmm! Oh, yes! I've already checked, when you weren't a Shaoqing before, you almost killed Xu Chong in the court of the Criminal Department. ”

Su Zhen scoffed at what she said, "That time was a last resort, the servant of the criminal department did not act, so I could only make a decision to forcibly keep people." As for the ...... Village tyrant? Seeing that they are so bad, maybe my heart is also black, and how dirty my blood is on my body! And I'm not a murderer, no matter how damn they are, they will be punished by the government. ”

To put it bluntly, Su Zhen actually didn't want to cause trouble anymore, so she asked Taifu Mansion and Su Tingye to take the blame for her. But if the other party has to make inches, then don't blame her for being ruthless!

He Lan listened to their conversation and said, "The way of a gentleman, the gentleman is righteous, and the villain is profitable." When acting as a person, we should be strict with ourselves, indifferent to fame and fortune, and self-cultivation. Don't be confused by rumors, don't be fascinated by obsessions, and don't be afraid of life and death. ”

Su Zhen admired the man in front of her, "The world should distinguish right from wrong with gentlemen and villains, but sometimes, hypocrites are often more terrible than real villains." Villains will bind others with moral bondage, while hypocrites are good at hypocrisy, playing right and wrong, sowing discord, and doing all kinds of evil things, but they can still be sought after and praised. ”

"yes, alas... This world is unjust......"

"Oh, don't discuss any gentlemen and villains, I'm so hungry!" Jingyao pursed her lips and rubbed her stomach, "Gongzi He, do you have anything to eat?" ”

He Lan was amused by her appearance, and the desolation in her eyes disappeared, "Girl, Xiaosheng still has some flour at home, if the girl doesn't dislike it, Xiaosheng can make some sweet cakes for the two of you and express your gratitude." ”

"Don't dislike it! Don't dislike! ”

Su Zhen sighed, "Brother He, I have already reported my name below." This girl is a friend of the next, named Jing'er. ”

"Okay, then the adults and Miss Jing'er invite Xiaosheng into the house, but there are some ...... in the house."

"It's okay, it's a guest from afar, we should follow the local customs."

He Lan took a step back sideways and raised her hand to invite them into the house.

He Lan pushed open the wooden door of the thatched house, and the 'crunch' sound was slightly harsh.

After stepping inside, they realized that the outside looked like a dilapidated thatched house, as if it could be blown away by the wind. But who knows that the sparrow is small, but it has all kinds of organs.

There is a water tank at the entrance, the wooden lid is half lifted, and it can be seen that it is filled with clean water, and there is a melon scoop made of dried gourd shells floating on the water surface.

On the left is a simple stove, with a few kitchen utensils hanging on the wall, a few vegetables and melons on the table, and a corner full of dry twigs that are used as firewood.

Not far from the stove was a small black wooden table, with two benches opposite each other, which should have been homemade.

On the right side is a bed with straw in the compartment and a simple whitewashed sheet on top.

The most valuable thing in this room is probably the crumbling-looking bookshelf...... The book above. Xiao Chuhong also uses the bedroom and the study together, but this comparison can be said to be very different.

However, Xiao Chuhong is a military general, and all he has studied are military books, and most of He Lan's bookshelves are four books and five classics.

Su Zhen stepped forward and touched the bookshelf, it was clean and free of a trace of dust, which showed that He Lan really cared about it, and the degree of cherishment could be seen.

"Master Su, Miss Jing'er, you can sit down for a while, and it will be fine soon."

"Uh-huh, thank you!"

"Then there's Brother Laohe."

Su Zhen and Jingyao sat at the table, watching He Lan skillfully work in front of the stove, Jingyao was bored looking east and west.

He Lan skillfully separated the egg yolk and egg white in front of the stove, then added fine sugar and sesame oil into the white flour, stirred it into a paste, and scooped it up with a spoon into the oven for baking.

Su Hao asked casually, "Brother He, didn't you say that life was very hard before, but Brother He seems to be pretty good?" ”

Egg? Sugar? Heroin? Oil?

According to the poverty of the displaced people, it is good to have something to eat, how can they afford to buy these?

He Lan replied, "Yes, everyone has been moistened a lot in the past two years, and the crops in the field died due to the great drought earlier, and it was really sad during that time, and there were people everywhere who ate wild grass and tree bark for a living. As for this cookie, the raw materials are not expensive, and they can be stored for a long time, so you can store more at a time, and most of us eat this on weekdays. ”

"In this way, it was very difficult for the villagers at the beginning, so how did you carry it?"

"It's thanks to the good people in Kyoto City, who often send people to help, otherwise everyone wouldn't have been able to endure it."

"Good people? I heard that the girl Xiyan of Jiyuefang often uses the money from selling paintings to save your poor people, is this true? ”

Su Hao noticed that He Lan's movements were sluggish for a moment, and then she took the sweet cakes out of the oven, brushed them with oil and sprinkled with sesame seeds, and then baked them in the oven.

"Of course it's true, Miss Xiyan is kind-hearted, but it's a pity that such a good person was killed."

After Su Hao was silent for a long time, she burst out coldly, "She's not dead." ”

He Lan was stunned at first, and then smiled happily, "Really? Where is that girl now? ”

"We're just guessing, and this time I came to your village to inquire about Miss Xiyan."

"I see, but Xiaosheng's perception of Miss Xiyan is just hearsay."

"Then what news does Brother He know? Can you tell us if you don't mind? ”
