The autumn wind is like a knife, cutting off a few broken flowers and leaves. With a whining sound like a female ghost's cry, it blew through the entire corridor. Bao Chan turned around, and Guangyi Hou, who was dressed in plain brocade clothes, was standing under the eaves, and a little behind him, Xie Xingyan stood with a respectful face that couldn't hide his smile.

Behind him, there was Zhou Yu, the big housekeeper with a reproachful face, and the figures in the house were longing, but they couldn't see it very clearly.

Guangyi Hou snorted coldly, turned around and entered the house, but after a while, the big housekeeper Zhou Yu walked out of the door and helped him up next to Bao Chan: "Hou Ye let you in." ”

Bao Chan nodded in response, turned around and glanced at Song Zhong, who was still standing with his hands down, and signaled that he was not going to find the old lady soon.

Zhou Yu frowned, and patted Bao Toad on the back: "Don't embarrass him, this matter can be big or small today, if the old lady really comes, it won't end well." ”

Bao Chan smiled: "Old Uncle Zhou, what is going on today, why did you make my father angry like that?"

Zhou Yu sighed and waved his hand: "You, remember to listen more, watch more, and talk less." ”

Bao Toad entered the house and bowed down to the head of the hall. When he raised his head and blinked his eyes a few times, he adjusted slightly to the slightly dim light in the room.

Just look at the twelve chairs next to the six tables in this room are full of people, the Wang family, the Xie family, the Zhang family, the Hua family, the Xiao family, and the father who is sitting on the master, this big family with names and surnames in Huaiyin City is considered to be all together.

Somehow, Bao Chan's heart suddenly burst, and he instinctively felt that today's incident was definitely related to the death of someone on the street on a rainy night a few days ago.

Hua Zhong, who was sitting at the head of the house, was dressed in official court clothes, and at this moment he was staring at the half-section in his hand with a serious face. Everyone in the hall bowed their heads and was silent, even Xie Xingyan, who was smiling just now, also restrained the expression on his face at this moment, and bowed down to stand behind the head of the Xie family.

In the middle of the night, Huai'an Hou Hua put aside the half-volley in his hand, took a deep breath, and asked softly: "Jiang Baochan, do you remember that half a month ago, a father and daughter entered the mansion to sing songs? That little girl is about thirteen or fourteen years old. ”

Bao Toad nodded.

"Just remember. Hua Zhong stood up: "Did you insult people's innocence that day?"

"No, they were invited into the house that day just to let them ......"

Without waiting for Jiang Baochan to argue, Hua Zhong had already interrupted: "Then why did this little woman be thrown into a mass grave outside the city with scars after she went out of your mansion?"

"What do you mean by this?"

"What do I mean, don't you know?"

Without waiting for Guangyi Hou to stop, Bao Chan already stood up with a cold snort: "Huai'an Hou, although I, Jiang Bao Chan, don't dare to say anything bad and haven't done anything, but I can't do this kind of bullying of weak women." If you don't believe me, please come up with real evidence!"

"Is this letter really based on real evidence? Is this recital really true? Is the old man who was killed in front of the government yamen really based on real evidence? If these are not counted, then look at the outside of the hall, is this considered real evidence?!"

At some point, a thin wooden coffin had been placed outside the hall, and the white coffin was stained with black soil, which was particularly dazzling.

Huai'an Hou Huazhong pointed at Jiang Baochan and said: "In this thin coffin is the little woman who was insulted by you that day, do you want to open the coffin and inspect it?"

Bao Chan glanced at everyone in the hall, and saw that everyone was looking at their noses and noses, obviously having already checked it.

"Huai'an Hou, although there are twists and turns and corpses, how do you know that I did it?"

Huai'an Hou sneered: "Who in this Huaiyin City doesn't know that you Jiang Baochan is the most wanton and reckless. ”

"I killed me if I acted recklessly?" Then if you go to the Huai'an Hou Mansion at this moment, do you also want to think that I set the fire?" As soon as the words fell, he stumbled into a small house outside the door, and rushed to the side of the Huai'an Hou in three or two steps: "Hou Ye, the house is watery!"

Everyone was stunned, Huai'an Hou's fingertips trembled even more angrily, he said three good words in a row, and hurriedly left with his subordinates with a flick of his sleeves.

Everyone waited until Huai'an Hou came out of the courtyard, and then they got up to confess, but they dispersed after a while.

There were only three people left in the hall, Guangyihou, Steward Zhou, and Jiang Baochan, and the half-section on the ground and the thin wooden coffin outside the hall seemed to have been forgotten.

Guangyihou sighed, and the group sat on the first seat: "If you do it, then order a thick burial." If you don't do it, go down. ”

Bao Toad nodded, turned and went out.

"Master Hou, although the little Lord Hou is a little naughty, he can't do such a wanton thing. ”

"If I didn't believe him, I wouldn't have confronted him. Guangyihou took a deep breath: "Send someone to inform Governor Zhang to take away the fold and coffin, don't touch it." ”

"What about the little marquis?"

"Go down, I have my own opinions. ”
