Chapter 126: Reversal?
"No wonder he insisted on letting me come back in his robe, it turned out to be because of this." Lu Xuan muttered to himself.
Thinking of Gu Huanli's series of careful and considerate actions today, Lu Xuan's heart couldn't help but feel warm.
It's just that according to what he said, Lu Xuan can neither show her status as a woman, nor can she meddle in the affairs of other people's husbands and wives, and after thinking about it again, she has to leave this matter behind first.
"At present, it is important to find out about Jia Dafu's corruption as soon as possible." Thinking about it this way, Lu Xuan went to the prison where Jia Dafu was being held at dawn to interrogate him personally.
At that time, Jia Dafu was tormented by this injury, and when he saw Lu Xuan appear, he was so frightened that he hurriedly shrank into the corner.
Lu Xuan sighed helplessly, why didn't she see such cowardice when she wanted to bully her?
"Don't worry, this official is not here to tell you how." Lu Xuan said.
Jia Dafu tentatively looked behind her, and indeed did not see Gu Huanli's figure, so he breathed a sigh of relief in vain.
Only then did Lu Xuan speak: "This official asked you, the farmer said that you withheld grain and grass, can you plead guilty?" ”
Jia Dafu shook his head: "The villain is wronged, the villain has been the head of this village for many years, and he has always treated the villagers very well, how could he be framed like this?" ”
"Framing? Why did you frame you and kidnap the official with a thief's heart? Lu Xuan scolded angrily, she didn't expect Jia Dafu to dare to deny it at this time.
But no matter how angry Lu Xuan was, Jia Dafu still looked categorical.
"My lord, the villain was really wronged, the villain hijacked the adult just to think that the adult wanted to assassinate the villain for the purpose of corruption like the previous county order, and he made this decision in a hurry!"
Jia Dafu had thrown off his burden at this point, if it weren't for what the people said, Lu Xuan would have really believed him.
Before Lu Xuan could refute, he saw Jia Dafu crying and becoming poor: "The adult also saw it in the villain's house, if the villain is really corrupt, how can he be surrounded by walls?" The villain knows that he shouldn't threaten the adult, but the villain's cripple can be regarded as retribution. ”
This is also true, Lu Xuan saw with his own eyes that Jia Dafu's family is not much better than ordinary farmers.
As for Jia Dafu's abduction of Lu Xuan, she had no intention of convicting people of offense by relying on her official status, not to mention that this person had been beaten by Gu Huanli and had no possibility of getting better for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan no longer cared about the abduction, and only focused on pursuing what the peasants said.
Seeing the hesitation between Lu Xuan's eyebrows, Jia Dafu hurriedly took advantage of the situation to speak: "I think that several farmers still have misunderstandings about the villain because of the land distribution last year, and the villain begs the adults to allow the villain to clarify this matter." ”
Jia Dafu took the initiative to ask for a face-to-face confrontation with the peasants? Lu Xuan also wanted to hear what he had to say at that time.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xuan immediately nodded in agreement, anyway, Gu Huanli's eyeliner is all over this place, and he Jia Dafu is now crippled, and it is difficult to fly even if he has wings.
"Come on, let him out!" Lu Xuan ordered the temporary release of Jia Dafu, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness to whisper to his subordinates: "Follow him secretly, don't let him play any tricks." ”
The official received the order, and immediately released Jia Dafu, and then secretly observed.
It took a long time for the official to return to the house to report the situation to Lu Xuan, but the look on his face was diametrically opposed to what she imagined.
I saw that the returning official looked embarrassed, and hesitated for a long time before speaking to Lu Xuan: "My lord, Jia Dafu really doesn't seem to be lying. ”
"What?" Lu Xuan bounced up from his seat in shock: "What the hell is going on?" ”
Only then did the official stubbornly continue: "My lord, my subordinates and others secretly followed, Jia Dafu really sincerely apologized to the villagers, solved the misunderstanding, and now the two sides get along very well." ”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan resolutely didn't believe it, and without saying a word, he rushed to the field to check it out for himself.
When he arrived at the village, Jia Dafu really nodded and comforted the farmers in the field, and even the old man who talked to Lu Xuan yesterday talked and laughed with him, which really puzzled Lu Xuan.
Seeing Lu Xuan coming from a distance, Jia Dafu hurriedly endured the pain and greeted her in embarrassment: "Lord Lu is a big man, and the villain is far away." ”
Lu Xuan was full of doubts at this time, where could he take care of these respectful and humble etiquette, and walked towards the old man without saying a word.
"Uncle, why are you suddenly so kind to this Jia Dafu, didn't you still say that he was ...... yesterday" Lu Xuan was interrupted by the old man in the middle of his words.
"It's my old man who is confused, the previous incident was all done by the previous county order, and the village chief has already explained that we misunderstood him." The old man said this, which is exactly what Jia Dafu said in prison.
Lu Xuan suddenly fell into a predicament, but he didn't expect that the rest of the people would also echo him-
"The village chief is indeed a good person, we misunderstood him before, and he came to comfort us in person today." It was an aunt who spoke, and the joy between her eyebrows and eyes seemed to be not a lie.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but be surprised: Is it really a misunderstanding?
She was wondering, but Jia Dafu spoke at this time: "My lord, since the misunderstanding has been clarified, please forgive the villain's previous disrespectful behavior." ”
Jia Dafu asked Lu Xuan in front of so many villagers, which caused several villagers to intercede for him - "The village chief is a good person, please don't arrest the village chief!" ”
Lu Xuan was already suffering from the lack of conclusive physical evidence, and now the only human evidence is also offset by the word "misunderstanding".
She was troubled in her heart: Could it be that I hated him for kidnapping me, so I was prejudiced against him?
With such an idea, Lu Xuan had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.
"Since it was a misunderstanding, the official naturally would not wronged a good person, but if the official is aware of the slightest clue in the future, the village chief will not be able to say anything more skillfully."
After speaking, Lu Xuan immediately led people to withdraw to the county office.
When I arrived at the door, I saw a graceful figure standing in front of me.
"Qingpei?" Lu Xuan stepped forward: "Why are you here?" ”
Qing Pei turned his eyes to look at Lu Xuan: "Qing Pei is here to bid farewell to Lord Lu." ”
Lu Xuan was surprised when he heard this: "Resign? Where are you going? Isn't it because I made you and Brother Zhao unhappy? ”
In a panic, Lu Xuan thought that their husband and wife were going their separate ways because of her.
Seeing that Lu Xuan was nervous, Qing Pei hurriedly explained: "No, it's Brother Zhao who has a mansion in the main city of Jiangnan, and he wants to take me to live a better life." ”
In this way, Lu Xuan could breathe a sigh of relief: "So that's the case, that's really good, it seems that Brother Zhao treats you really hard, and I, as a friend, am happy for you." ”
"Don't you want to keep Qingpei?" Seeing that there was no reluctance on Lu Xuan's face, Qing Pei couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and turned to her and asked her a rhetorical question.
Lu Xuan smiled extremely relieved: "There is no feast in the world, since you have married Brother Zhao and can live a better life, I have no reason to keep it." ”
"Is there a little reluctance in the adult's heart to be Qingpei?" Qingpei still has extravagant hopes.
Lu Xuan understood what she meant, so she resolutely shook her head: "I have never had feelings for you other than friends, Brother Zhao is a good match worthy of trust, you should cherish it." ”
Seeing that Lu Xuan said without the slightest hesitation, Qing Pei knew how nihilistic his long-standing extravagant hopes were.
"Thank you, you have nothing to hide from Qing Pei, Qing Pei will say goodbye, take care." After speaking, Qing Pei turned around and left, the disappointment in his heart was enough to drown out all this absurd feelings.
"You've been to see her?" Seeing that Qingpei was lonely, Zhao Qingfeng asked casually.
Qing Pei didn't hide it, and then nodded: "Yes, I'll go to the adult to say goodbye, she wishes us happiness." ”
Hearing this, an inexplicable sour feeling came to Zhao Qingfeng's heart, Lu Xuan was so generous, but he regarded her as an enemy, and even didn't save her when he saw her die, and he was suddenly a little ashamed of himself.
And Qing Pei took care of her feelings for Lu Xuan clearly, and then she vaguely remembered the words in Zhao Qingfeng's mouth yesterday that made her puzzled.
"Brother Zhao, what do you mean by what you said yesterday that Wangchun Tower knew me two years ago?" Qing Pei thought and asked.
Zhao Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, what he said yesterday was just a moment of urgency, and now he was really asked by Qing Pei that he didn't know how to speak.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Qingfeng shook his head: "It's nothing, you heard it wrong." ”
But Qingpei is not stupid, how can he easily forget what he has heard? She immediately shook her head: "Brother Zhao, tell me the truth, do you already know me." ”
In fact, Qing Pei noticed that something was wrong very early, Zhao Qingfeng met him in Pingshui, if he really had a one-sided relationship just because of Luo Yujin's matter, he probably wouldn't treat her so affectionately.
It's just that Qing Pei has been indulging in his obsession with Lu Xuan before, and he has never calmed down to observe the people around him.
This time, Lu Xuan completely broke off her thoughts, and she remembered that something was wrong.
Zhao Qingfeng also wanted to find an opportunity to inform Qing Pei of the previous events, but seeing that her affection for Lu Xuan was as deep as the sea, he didn't want all his thoughts to be in vain, so he chose to remain silent.
Since Qingpei himself guessed it this time, Zhao Qingfeng simply stopped hiding it.
He nodded resolutely: "Yes, two years ago, when you played that song "Pavilion Moon", I was there. ”
"What?" Hearing this, Qing Pei was stunned for a moment, she clearly remembered that "Pavilion Moon" was her first piano song after she was selected for Oiran in Wangchun Tower.
At that time, many people fell in love with her because of that song, but there was only one person in her heart, but she didn't know where he was now, but he was okay.
Hearing Zhao Qingfeng mention "Pavilion Moon" again, Qing Pei simply sat down next to the guqin and played a song for him again.
Zhao Qingfeng sat opposite and stared, two years later, the woman in front of him still made him feel waves.
His face has not changed, but his piano skills have grown more under the training of the past two years.
Unconsciously, the scene from two years ago reappeared in front of Zhao Qingfeng's eyes, and he immediately got up and walked towards Qingpei: "A song of the intestines, the girl is young, and she should marry a young man." ”
Hearing this, Qing Pei's hand playing with the strings shook suddenly, and the strings were broken in vain, making a disturbing sound.
