Chapter 53 The Truth
Niu said that he was.
The Lu family in Fanyang is a big family that has been back for nearly 700 years. It was established as one of the five surnames when the Qing Dynasty was first established.
But no matter how glorious a family is, there will be times when it falls.
When the late emperor was young, the head of the Lu family stood in the wrong team. When the late emperor ascended the throne, the Lu family had to withdraw from the court in order to protect themselves.
He was suppressed in Fanyang for decades and only came out now.
Seeing that Gu Hou was a little moved, Niu smiled proudly, "But that lady passed the flower letter because of her filial piety, and now she is about the same age as Dalang."
Gu Hou frowned slightly, "Twenty-one, it's a bit big."
Niu smiled and said, "If a family like us gets married and wise, if you want that good color, just pick up some fresh ones."
This sentence obviously means something, Gu Hou coughed awkwardly and said in a muffled voice: "Have you asked Dalang about this?"
Niu smiled and said, "Of course I asked, and he said you and I can discuss it."
Gu Hou was afraid that she would mention any color or not, so he quickly decided, "You think it's good, just make sure it's done."
Niu smiled and replied yes. Seeing that Gu Hou had no intention of going back with her, she felt a little angry, but she had something to do, so she didn't have to tell him about it for a while, so she took the maid and the woman away.
Gu Hou stood in the flower path and waited for a while. He thought that Niu had walked away, so he couldn't wait to go back to Mei's place and continue to add fragrance to his red sleeves.
Gu Sheng slept with a rare good night. He went to Fushi early the next morning and learned that Min Zhonghe had interrogated Cao Wei overnight and ordered someone to bring the brother and sister. He felt relieved.
Although the Kyoto government office is not as good as the imperial prison, it is still okay to judge ordinary people.
The flower-selling brother is just a gambler. If he knew that Cao Wei killed someone, he would never be able to marry him. He might even step on his feet in order to get out.
I have to say that Gu Sheng’s premonition is really accurate.
Min Zhonghe came to find Cao Wei with the confession of his brother and sister.
When Cao Wei learned that the flower seller had told everything, he immediately widened his eyes and called it impossible.
Min Zhonghe sneered, "How is it impossible? I know that you are the murderer, but the brother and sister don't want to have anything to do with you."
Cao Wei's eyes were dazed and his mouth muttered.
Min Zhonghe heard him say vaguely that he called him, but he didn't know who he was.
He hurriedly got closer and whispered, "What are you not convinced?"
Cao Wei paused and looked at Min Zhonghe.
After a long time, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he shut his mouth and stopped sucking.
Min Zhonghe said that there was indeed a black hand behind it.
But obviously, this black hand made Cao Wei very afraid, and even reached the point where he would rather die than speak.
Min Zhonghe did not ask questions, but just left with the confession.
Not long after, the brother and sister were locked up next to Cao Wei and the other was in the same room as him.
When Cao Wei saw the two, his eyes suddenly became angry.
He rushed over, grabbed his brother, and asked loudly why he treated him like this.
The brother was very generous and kicked him down, saying with confidence: "Just because of you, you still want to marry my sister, you dream."
Cao Wei was kicked to the ground and looked at his brother in disbelief, "You accept my fifteenth-year betrothal gift, how dare you do this?"
The brother sneered and sat down crookedly against the fence, "My girl wants to look good, she can do laundry and cook. I have been supporting her for sixteen years, but I still have less money to collect."
The flower-selling girl heard what her brother said became more and more distorted, so she hurriedly stopped her.
My brother has already paid back the gambling bill. Although something went wrong, he has protected his life and gave the girl some face.
Cao Wei slowly got up from the ground, not wanting to get into trouble with the thugs, only looked at the flower girl, "Yunniang, you told me before, life and death with me, but it's true?"
The flower girl widened her eyes in surprise, and had a bad guess in her heart.
My brother rushed up and pushed him down hard, "If you want to die, you will die. I have to take care of my sister."
Although Cao Wei does farm work, because Qin Ran is polite, he doesn't need him most of the time, and only lets him study.
In terms of physique, he is really not as strong as his brother who is hiding around in the market every day and struggling every day.
He staggered to the ground, watching the flower girl who was carefully retreating, staying away from him as much as possible and glaring at him, trying to scare his brother away, and suddenly laughed.
"Forget it, I'm responsible for it, I'm responsible for it," he lay down on his back, looking at the adobe roof above, and said nothing more.
In the next cell, Min Zhonghe came out with a heavy expression.
It can be concluded that the brother and sister may have cheated Cao Wei, but it has nothing to do with Qin Ran's affairs.
From this conclusion, Min Zhonghe was in a very bad mood.
When he went back to the government office and saw Cheng Li, he felt even worse.
Cheng Li was tactful and did not mention anything else, but just discussed whether he could meet Baoer.
Min Zhong and he knew that Yuan Baoer was not the murderer and both served as officials in the same dynasty, so they also spoke out, saying that they should not reveal what they know to the prisoners.
Both of them knew that this was just empty talk, but they still had to do it.
Cheng Li thanked repeatedly and visited Yuan Baoer with Cuixin carrying the food box.
The prison was always dark and damp, but Yuan Baoer was taken care of. The prison where she lived was empty and there was also thick hay inside.
Although it is still very simple, it is much better than other rooms.
Cuixin looked at Yuan Baoer lying in the dry grass, and tears fell down her face.
"Madam," she cried.
The police opened the chain, and Cuixin hurriedly opened the door and trotted over.
Yuan Baoer struggled, and when he saw that it was them, he hurriedly pushed away the grass and tried to make himself look better.
"Maternal ancestor, Cuixin," she smiled and shouted, looking up at Cheng Li.
Cheng Li squatted down and touched her face covered in dust with pity, with a thin and angular edges, "You're suffering."
Cui Xin had already started crying with sobs.
She opened the food box and took out all the things inside, "Miss, be hungry, eat quickly."
Yuan Baoer is really hungry.
The food here is so unpalatable that she can't eat even if she doesn't choose anything like that.
These days, she hasn't even had a full meal.
Cuixin handed over the bowls and chopsticks and watched her swallow her voraciously.
Cheng Li looked at her gently, and when she had almost finished eating, she handed over the warm water.
Yuan Baoer drank a few times and smiled at Cheng Li.
Cheng Li touched her head, took the grass stem hanging on her hair, and said warmly: "I haven't had anything to do these days, right?"
Yuan Baoer shook her head.
These days she was very peaceful here. Only Lord Min brought someone to ask a few questions, and then no one came again.
Cheng Li touched her head and said warmly: "As long as it is fake, it will not be true."
"You stay here and wait for your grandfather to pick you up."
Yuan Baoer nodded, Cheng Li touched her head pitifully, signaling Cuixin to hand over the bedding he brought, and then left with Cuixin who was reluctant to leave.
