Early the next morning, Chu Shiyun came back and bought back a broken straw mat and paper money, afraid that people would laugh at the Li family for not setting up a mourning hall and buying a coffin for the Chu family, so he directly and quietly buried the Chu family, as simple as the Chu family has never been in this world.

After burying Chu's family, Chu Shiyun went back to the city directly, walking with the wind, feeling that Chu's death made him feel relaxed.

Chu Shilai drank sullen wine at home, drunk like a puddle of mud, and didn't even dare to go out.

He wanted to be faced, afraid that others would talk about Wang Meixiang, why she appeared in the village of the dead, why she was messing with a man, and she was killed.

People don't give him a long face when they die, even if they die halfway!!

Chu Shilai took another big sip of wine, completely forgetting that the wine money he drank was obtained by Wang Meixiang and others.

Chu Qiu's mood was also extremely uncomfortable.

Hou Lizheng said that someone from the yamen would come to him to testify, but he didn't come until the afternoon.

The more Chu Qiu wanted to panic, the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, because Wang Xianling had always had a bad reputation, Chu Qiu intuitively felt that maybe Zhang Yuan was tortured by Wang Xianling to extract a confession, and even executed.

Chu Qiu couldn't sit still any longer, ran to Lin Yue's house first, and said hurriedly: "Chu, Chu Niangzi, can I, can I spend all my wages?" ”

Lin Yue was a little surprised, after working for a few days, Chu Qiu had never paid his salary, and he actually asked for his salary today.

The money was put in Chu Qiu's hands, Lin Yue naturally couldn't keep it, so she took a bunch of money and gave it to Chu Qiu, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing with the money in such a hurry?" Isn't your milk buried? ”

Chu Qiu said with a anxious face: "My third aunt was killed by a man who was messing with her, not Zhang Yuan, I can't let a good person be wronged in vain, I want to go to the yamen to testify." ”

Chu Qiu left in a hurry.

.

By the time we arrived at the yamen, the yamen was already closed.

Chu Qiu knocked on the door, and the official guarding the door opened the door, and saw that it was a peasant man dressed in tatters, and immediately scolded: "The government has been closed, and there will be injustices tomorrow!" Get lost!! ”

Chu Qiu immediately took out a bunch of money in his arms and stuffed it into the officer, who smiled and said, "What's the matter with the little brother?" ”

Chu Qiu hurriedly said: "Brother Cha, I want to inquire about the murder of Wang Meixiang in our village, has the murderer been found?" ”

The official groaned, "Found it,"

Chu Qiu thought that the man had been caught, and he was immediately very happy, and before his smile reached the bottom of his eyes, he heard the official continue: "It was killed by an orphan girl who lost her conscience and picked up money from the dead. ”

Chu Qiudeng was petrified.

Seeing that the official was about to close the door, he hurriedly grabbed the cuff of the officer's hand and asked, "Isn't the murderer a man from Houhai Village?" ”

The official impatiently pulled back his cuffs, looked at the face of a hanging money, and said to Chu Qiu: "Hu Danan from Houhai Village has an alibi witness, and he is a talented man. ”

The door slammed shut, and Chu Qiu was petrified in the wind.

The man she said was not a murderer, and Zhang Yuan became the biggest suspect again, who let her not have a strong witness like Xiucaigong?

Chu Qiu sat down in a leeward corner next to the gate of the yamen, he had no money, no money to live in a hotel, no money to eat, he could only wait here for tomorrow's follow-up development.

A big black dog ran over and whimpered twice at Chu Qiu.

Chu Qiu tried to touch its head with his hand, but it only resisted for a moment, and then stopped resisting, "Whimpering and whimpering, looking very sad."

Chu Qiu sighed and said, "Are you also here to save your master?" But what should I do, I'm just like you, I have no money and no power, I want to save her, but I can't do anything. ”

The big black dog whimpered again as if in answer to him.

"No money and no power", this word suddenly flashed in his mind, and Chu Qiu thought of a person---- Chu Xiangling.

Now she is canonized as the village owner, she is powerful and powerful, and the county magistrate also has to give three points of face, or should she beg her?

Thinking of the relationship between the two families, Chu Qiu was a little afraid again, if he went, he would definitely be ridiculed by the other party, and even guessed that he had ulterior motives.

hesitated and hesitated, and said as if comforting himself: "I begged, it's a big deal to be scolded; If you don't go, you'll regret it for the rest of your life, go !! ”

Chu Qiu finally left firmly, and the big black dog followed behind his buttocks, telling it directly that this person could save its owner.

One person and one dog, ran to the city gate, the city gate has been closed, Chu Qiu is embarrassed how to get out of the city, the big black dog barked at him twice, and then ran to the south of the city gate building, Chu Qiu followed.

After walking for about two pillars of incense, under a corner of the city wall, a dog hole was found, and Chu Qiu followed the big black dog out of it.

At this time, it was dark, and it was very dangerous to walk on the mountain road, Chu Qiu didn't even hesitate, and ran in the direction of Chujia Village.

.

Uncle Lin, as usual, opened the courtyard door early and wanted to clean the door.

As a result, I found a person kneeling at the door, and a dog squatting next to him, like a person kneeling.

Uncle Lin was taken aback and reprimanded, "Who are you?" What are you doing running to my door? ”

Chu Qiu said to Uncle Lin in a hoarse voice: "Please tell the village master of Chu, and the villager Chu Qiu asks to see him." ”

Seeing that the young man was wet with dew, he was afraid that he had been kneeling outside for half a night, so Uncle Lin hurriedly ran into the door and told Xiangling about it.

Xiangling raised her eyebrows suspiciously, and said in surprise: "Chu Qiu? Ask to see me? ”

Xiangling returned to the hardships of the poison of hemp and fruit in her body when she first crossed over.

This Chu Qiu, provoked by his mother Liu, did not stumble on himself, but he didn't expect that today, he would kneel outside and beg to see him.

I don't know why, but I saw others getting rich with me, and I want to make money with me? This kind of person can't use him, and he really doesn't attract trust.

Xiangling asked Uncle Lin to let Chu Qiu into the small banquet living room downstairs.

Soon, Chu Qiu came in, his steps were a little staggering, it should be the reason why his knees have been kneeling outside for a long time.

Chu Qiu was about to kneel, but Xiangling had already waved his hand and said, "If you have something to say, sit down and say it well, don't use bitter meat tricks, it's useless to me." ”

Chu Qiu's face turned pale, so he had to sit on the Taishi chair, shrunk back to only a third of the position, and said worriedly: "Village master, I beg you to save Zhang Yuan, she can't kill my third aunt." ”

Xiangling glanced at Chu Qiu in surprise, and made several assumptions in her heart, but she didn't expect Chu Qiu to beg her to save people, and it was the murderer who killed Wang Meixiang to save her.

Xiangling said with a smile: "Investigating and adjudicating cases is a matter for the yamen, and I have no right to interfere." ”

Seeing that Xiangling had some unrelated attitudes, Chu Qiu hurriedly said: "But you are the village owner of Chujia Village!" My third aunt is dead, shouldn't you help her find the murderer? ”

Xiangling smiled coldly: "Chu Qiu, it's true that I am the head of Chujia Village, but what I maintain is the good villagers, not the bad guys with rotten stomachs." How did your third aunt treat me before she died, didn't you have any points in your heart? ”

Chu Qiu's face was as red as blood, ashamed of the third aunt and what he had done to Xiangling in the past.

Chu Qiu's eyes turned red, and he muttered: "Xiangling, I know it's wrong, I deserve to die." But Zhang Yuan was wronged, she went to Lingnan Village to pick up the money of the dead, but she buried the villagers too, and recited the Lotus Sutra to cross them. She's a good girl, she can't be so wronged. ”

Xiangling was touched in her heart, and said to Chu Qiu: "You go, it has nothing to do with me whether Zhang Yuan is wronged or not, she is from Houhai Village, not from Chujia Village, and is not under the jurisdiction of the village master of Chujia Village." ”

Xiangling glanced at Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin hurriedly stepped forward and said to Chu Qiu: "Little brother, let's go, the village master is tired, I'll send you out." ”

Chu Qiu was completely desperate, Xiangling didn't make a move, and Zhang Yuan's hope of turning over was too slim.

Chu Qiu left Xiangling's house without giving up, and after being stunned for a while, he hurried to the direction of the county again.
