In the face of the little apprentice's praise, Ye Hu did not show any smugness, he frowned, took half a step back, pressed his big hand on the top of Du Zhi's brain, and turned his face to the side: "Yes!" You'd better hurry up and find water to rinse your mouth! The smell of stinky tofu water in this mouth is indeed uncomfortable! ”

As soon as Du Zhi heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, turned his head and sighed hard at Ye Hu, and then ran away: "I'm going to rinse my mouth!" ”

Ye Hu wrinkled his face when he smoked it, and scolded "little rabbit cub" with a smile, but he was not really angry.

"You go and wash your face, too." Ye Yuanzhou couldn't cry or laugh when he saw his big black face, and waved at Ye Hu, Ye Hu also hugged his fist and ran away quickly.

Soon, everyone, including Du Ruo, was washed up and returned to their usual appearance

Du Ruo and Ye Yuanzhou changed into neat clothes and went to the county government of Tonghe County to listen to the county order to interrogate the "Zong Youlin".

If these two people were just Songzhou Sima and Shangqingche Duwei, then the county order only needed to be polite and polite on the face to fool them.

It's just that Ye Yuanzhou is the son of the hussar general Ye Jin, so this matter is not good and too faceless.

So the county commander trembled on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to show enough majesty in front of the prisoners, which made him physically and mentally exhausted for a while.

Du Ruo and Ye Yuanzhou, as promised before, helped Zong Youlin cover up his previous poisoning and revenge against those who had murdered those people who had worked with his maternal cousin and carved up the property of the Zong family.

Combined with the disgusting madness of the daughter-in-law of the Zong family's maternal cousin, the county order also counted those accomplices who died without proof on the head of this maternal cousin, as he was worried that he would be divided into spoils or expose his crimes, so he killed and killed people.

In the end, the mother's cousin of the daughter-in-law of the Zong family finally confessed to all his crimes, after all, when he was scared before, he was basically recruited.

The truth of the matter is exactly the same as what Zong Youlin said with Ye Yuanzhou before, this guy had a private lesson with this cousin before the daughter-in-law of the Zong family passed the door, and through that time of saving relatives, the two of them discussed in private, how to occupy the magpie's nest and seize the property of the Zong family to live happily together.

The daughter-in-law of the Zong family is responsible for delaying the time on the grounds that she is reluctant to her father, asking her cousin to customize the human skin mask, and after the human skin mask is made, she will act according to the plan.

It's just that the daughter-in-law of the Zong family is full of joy and thinks that she can have both fish and bear's paws, and enjoys the wealth of the Zong family, and can stay with her cousin, but her cousin only wants wealth, and her cousin is just a springboard.

So there was all the misfortune that followed.

If it weren't for the real Zong Youlin Fu who picked up a life, I'm afraid that villain could really monopolize the money of the Zong family and live his life in peace.

The gangster finally fell into prison, and the whole of Tonghe County was in an uproar when they heard about it, which caused everyone to talk about it for a while, and even the storyteller in the county teahouse found new inspiration and began to make up a story based on the experience of the Zong family.

Zong Youlin's identity was restored, and he no longer had to hide all day long, although the scars on his face were a little hideous, but he only needed to wear a hat to enter and exit freely.

The treasures belonging to the Zong family that were hidden by my cousin and others have also been recovered, although they have squandered them over the years, but the remaining money is still very considerable for ordinary people, and it is enough for a person to eat and wear without worrying about old age.

I thought that Zong Youlin had been guarding the old mansion of the Zong family for so long, but this time he finally got his revenge and got back most of the money that belonged to the Zong family, and he would choose to stay here and continue to live his life.

But when Du Ruo and Ye Yuanzhou resigned from him, Zong Youlin made a decision that surprised them.

"I also plan to set off in the near future and go to the village of Nantui." He said to Ye Yuanzhou and Du Ruo gratefully, "The two adults have always told me before, I must not take revenge as my whole thought, and think carefully about how I plan to live the rest of my life."

So I thought about it a lot in these days, and finally I thought it through.

If I had stayed here, I would never have been able to get out of the pain of my family's unjust death, let alone find a purpose in life.

I will keep the Zongjia mansion and come back in the future to worship my family and comfort the dead.

I plan to take some of the money back and exchange it for some cloth and grain seeds, as well as medicinal herbs from the Central Plains, and bring it to Nantui.

If it weren't for the kindness of the people in the village, who didn't dislike me and only had half a life left, and who weren't afraid that I would be scratched by rubble, they saved me and gave me half my life now.

No one over there will treat me like a monster, even if I don't have a hood to cover my face.

So I thought I should go back and repay them for saving me, and stay there by the way, learn from the witch doctor, and provide for the patriarch. ”

After Ye Yuanzhou listened, he nodded understandingly: "Okay, then we wish you a smooth journey!" If you come to Songzhou in the future, you will look for me. ”

In this way, after solving the affairs of the Zong family, Du Ruo and Ye Yuanzhou took the two brothers of Dragon and Tiger and Du Zhi to set off again, first went back to Duanshan, and went to Du's house to pick up the little maid Du Qu who was left there.

Father Du thought that his daughter could stay at home for a few more days after completing this errand, but when he heard that he had to rush to Beijing to resume his life, he was a little unhappy, especially when he saw that Du Ruo had lost a lot of weight, and his face was not as ruddy as usual.

In order to appease Daddy Du, a few people who originally planned to pick up Du Qu and leave, but they stayed for two days before leaving.

Before leaving, Du Zhong asked his subordinates to move a heavy wooden box out and handed it to Du Ruo.

"These are some rare medicinal herbs that your grandfather left to our family back then, but unfortunately I have no medical skills, these things are no different from the firewood and hay in my hands.

Why don't I bring it to you! I can also see that you shouldn't have run to take the imperial examination because of your temperament in the first place! After that, there was less time at home.

You take it back, look through it to see if there are any medicinal materials that can tonify your body, and fry it yourself! ”

Du Ruo knew that these were all precious medicinal materials left by his grandfather, some of them were worth thousands of gold, and some of them were hard to find, and the reason why his father wanted to bring them was just because he was not worried that he was outside, for fear of encountering some dangerous situation.

But Daddy Du has always been the most disgusting and sad, so he doesn't care much about this kind of concern.

Du Ruo knew it well, and he didn't expose it, so as not to make the atmosphere too sad, and the gag made his father laugh, and promised to find every opportunity to go home to visit his father, so he set off for Beijing to resume his life.
